         "You know I'm getting really tired of your scrap." I said with a rather un-amused face as I stared at my cot. It kept falling with the weight of my mattress. I was ready to just throw it out and sleep on JUST the mattress, but apparently that's bad for me, according to Ratchet. At this point in time though, I didn't care. Throwing the cot in a corner of the giant vault, I made my bed again, all pretty as if I was some college student moving into their dorm for the first time, (no offense to college students, but you know it's pointless). Sighing, I decided to actually walk around and excersize. 

         "Hey Bee, how's it going?" he simply gave me a thumbs up and continued to go deeper in the base at his leisurely plod. 

         "What the... Huh, must not feel good or something." I found his action odd, since he usually at least says 'hello'. 

     I found my way to the main area, finding Raf, Jack and Miko up on the platform, but no one else seemed to be around. 

         "Hey guys, where is everyone? I passed Bee not to long ago." 

         "Hey!" Miko hollered, "Bulkhead and Arcee left to find some energon, Ratchet is somewhere and Optimus left as well, but on some sort of private business thing cause no one else went with."

         "Huh... okay." I shrugged, and started my climb to them. "Anything interesting on the internet Raf?" 

He looked up form his computer. 

         "Well, sorta... I found an article about you on a street racing website..." 

         "Ha, and what are you doing on that side of the dark side?" I chuckled. 

         "Well, I got curious about your racing persona. Ratchet said you called yourself Knockout when he first met you, so I guessed you go by that when racing." 

         "Yeah and ya guessed right kiddo! What'd you find?" 

He turned his computer so I could see. 

     I looked at it, and saw a small article about me. It had my past races, well, my past races as Knockout. As I read further I noticed some conspiracy theories, and also that there was an ongoing hunt for my real identity... 

         "Hang on..." I took a closer look, "They haven't figured out my name yet?" 

         "Well, you've hidden it very well." Raf commented. 

         "All I've done is erase it from history. Then put it back as Knockout... without mentioning my actual name... and using a whole bunch of fake names throughout my life... Wow, I hid it without knowing." 

         "YOU USED FAKE NAMES?!" Miko hollered, "LIKE WHAT?!" 

I had to think for a moment. 

         "Well... I've used Lucy... Elizabeth, Karen, Karmen, Eliza, Pinto,  Daisy, Calico, Kaylee... Some others too, but I can't remember them." 

Miko stared in awe as I took Raf's computer. Typing in a website, I gave it back. 

         "Here, these guys go over a lot more, and also site their sources, so their credible." 

         "Wow! Thanks!" 

I looked over to Jack. 

         "So 'J'. How come you didn't go with your two-wheeler?" I smirked. 

He only glared, making me chuckle. His hate for me was about as potent as Arcee's, perhaps more so since I've been using the nickname he gave me throughout my time here.
