Karina Torres: TFP

Flying Mind

I've skipped the last two chapters. As she would of only been mentioned in Grill and she wasn't with Bulkhead on the Nemesis during Armada. Since the last chapter, Ratchet has examined her eyes and said they to are becoming more cybertronian. They'd still look organic on the outside, but she will have way better vision then any human once they are finished changing. Anyway Bulkhead badly damaged the Nemesis, which Megatron infused with Dark Energon. In an attempt to repair it and make it obey his very thoughts. Needless to say, things don't go as Megatron planned. Lets find out what happens next.

Karina's POV

I sigh as Bulkhead tells his story for the hundredth time. Ok, maybe not the hundredth, but he's told it a lot. "But when the Insecticons suddenly backed off, I got inspired by my proximity to the power core and did what I do best" he brags.

"You trashed Megatron's ride like a rock star in a hotel room" Miko brags.

"We should hit the 'cons right now while they're vulnerable" Arcee states.

"Megatron's warship may be grounded, but let's not forget that we remain vastly outnumbered, especially since has added the insecticon hive to his ranks" Ratchet reminds us.

"Then maybe it's time for me to call in an air strike" Fowler suggests.

"Or for us to consider more extreme measures, Agent Fowler" Optimus states. He leaves the room with Ratchet.

"Any idea what he is talking about?" Miko asks me.

"Nope and don't care. It's not like we'll be allowed to go" I state.

"I'm glad, I worry every time you leave" Raf states. I smile and ruffle his hair. Optimus and Ratchet return. As something comes up on Ratchet's computer screen.

"Optimus, I'm detecting a massive energy spike at the Decepticon crash site" Ratchet announces. "It appears to be dark energon" he states. Even with the news Optimus still wanted to attack. So Ratchet opened a ground bridge, Optimus went through with the other three autobots and Agent Fowler. Who wanted to witness Megatron's demise for the government.

Except things didn't go quiet according to plan. The decepticon had come alive due to dark energon. It put all the autobots in a sort of stasis lock. Before leaving. Ratchet was able to get the others back to base, but has no idea how to reverse this sort of stasis lock yet.

"The 'cons are crossing the Atlantic, making a beeline for North America" Fowler states.

"Wait, we can track them?" Jack asks.

"Why aren't they cloaked, like usual?" Raf asks bewildered.

"They had us in their cross hairs, but the 'Cons just took of" Fowler tells us.

"They even bailed on that Spark extractor thingy" Miko adds.

"Which is a blessing, better here then in the cons hands" I state.

"Well, if the ship isn't cloaked, maybe the communications relay's open" Jack states.

"Good idea Jack" I say as I flying up to the computer.

"Are you suggesting that we just call Megatron and ask him what's happening up there?!" Ratchet asks.

"Not suggesting, doing" I tell him. "Don't worry, I am making sure they can't track our signal" I assure him.

"Very well" he mutters and picks me up. "But I will do the talking" he states. We all nod and he makes the call. "Autobot outpost Omega One to Decepticon warship" he says. No response. "Megatron, please respond" he adds. Finally someone responds, but it isn't Megatron.
