The Trine Mates sat with their prone
member for a fraction of an hour speaking in the fluting electronic language of
beeps and low mechanical sounds that was their native language. This dialect
was obviously different then the one they spoke with their ground running robot
peers. Whatever they said and Thundercrackers replies were all very swift
though and they were all looking at her when they spoke of certain things.
After a while they left her to her own devices and the repairs started
progressing faster then before without having to maneuver around such huge
obstacles as the robots.
The dizzy spell struck her hard
about sixteen hours into the retrofitting of Thundercracker’s systems. She did
not want to stop but she had little choice but to take a break for food at
least. Thundercracker was now conscious again after having his logic systems
and everything else checked carefully by herself. Twelve major components had
needed replacing besides the overhauled bits. Thundercracker had gotten to be
in recharge for this. She obviously needed to go take her own recharge. The
food and water had helped a little but she still felt spinny and odd.
“You are not accustomed to this
level of intense struggle against the forces of Entropy are you Kalomel?”
“No Thunder I am not. I am used to
working ten to twelve hours, sleeping eight and having the other four to six
hours to my own devices. That is normally how it works on a farm mostly
comprised of trees and some grain and grass crops on the side. Well that and my
meals are eaten sitting down and are hot and cooked from scratch. I can make
due with all this dehydrated stuff but a proper human diet has more fresh then
preserved stuffs in it and lots more green leafy stuff and edible bits of
vegetation.”
“You are both dismissed Junior
Medic Kalomel. Thundercracker please escort the person who effected most of
your repairs to her berth right away and let her rest until she is scheduled to
leave for her former domicile in the morning.”
“Order Received Senior Medic
Hook. I will comply. Come along now Kalomel.”
Without waiting for her to reply
Thundercracker lifted Kalomel off the deck plates and carried her off in the
direction of the lifts. She had a hand on her mostly empty carry sack so it was
not left behind. His hand was surprisingly warm for being made of metal. It was
strange and none of the systems she had been handling would explain the way
that their bodies were warm and sometimes even felt tingly like a force-field
of magnetic nature was running along their limbs and torsos.
“Kalomel I am curious about
something regarding humans and their customs. If you can will you answer some
questions for me?”
“I will do my best Thunder but I am
kinda sleepy so if you need clarification later I will understand.”
“What you have to say on the
subject is what concerns me Kalomel. Expert opinions are not necessary or
desirable in the matter at hand.”
“…Oh ok then Thunder.”
“Tell me Kalomel what do you
think of my Mates?”
“In what regard Thunder?”
“In any and all regards Kalomel.
Your complete honesty is appreciated.”
“Truth?”
Thundercracker nodded and waited
with intent red optics focused down on the small femme in his hands.
“I am still in awe. Its surprising
and amazing and well…its wonderful really. I never dealt well with my own kind
but people made of machines? Oh it’s a dream and well… ahem…”
Kalomel was blushing brightly. With
his scanners turned to full Thundercracker could detect the spikes in hormones.
He smiled, not benignly but a smile none the less, and waited for her to
continue. It took her a moment to collect herself and calm a small amount. The
hormones in her bloodstream were singing by at very high rates.
“Say it Kalomel. SAY IT!”
“I …I think all of you are very very
attractive…HOT even.”
“That was not even close to the
hardest thing you will ever have to say in this life Kalomel. Humans would say
‘Man Up!’ but I will tell you one better…DECEPTICON UP!”
“Embarassing is all. ”
“I am aware of that. However that
was what I wondered. As far as the human customs go I think I can spare you
telling me that for a while.”
“Internet exists for a reason you
know Thunder. You could just google it.”
“I am aware of that Kalomel but
your Google is not yet advanced enough to read your fleshy mind. I want the
knowledge and wishes of your cortex not a covey of experts screeching like they
really do know best.”
“Why?”
“Because I wish to know if you
would want what Starscream and Skywarp intend to offer you. If it is an offer
you would consider at least then I will back it. If not then I will tell them
they should rethink the idea at the very least if not completely delete it from
their skewed processors.”
“You make both myself and my fate
sense sing happy when yourself or your Mates are around Thunder. I don’t think
I would object to too many ideas that would keep me around such wonderful
beings as you and your fellow Seekers of your Trine.”
“Hmm. Their idea would not
horrify you too much then. I will tell them I accept it with conditions.”
“Glad I could help you figure out if
you wanted to approve or not.”
“Was not the issue Kalomel. If I
had been thinking only of myself as I normally do I would have jumped at the
idea and agreed without restraint. I wanted to know if it would hurt you or
horrify you if we pursued this. That is not something I would care to have
staining my spark when I answer to Primus at the end of my days.”
“Fair enough Thunder. What are they
so all fired up to offer me though?”
“I cannot say Kalomel. I would
not say in any case. It would spoil the surprise.”
“Figures. Ah well I am out of the
loop most of the time. Big surprise that hasn’t changed.”
“That was sarcastic wasn’t it?”
“Yeah Thunder. Too mean when sleepy
to be pleasant. That’s me.”
“If that was ‘mean’ Kalomel then
I and my mates would be considered very brutal indeed by your standards.”
“Nah Thunder. Mean people suck.
Megatron is mean, the sheriff in my home county is super extra mean and
‘brutal’ to the core. You and your Mates are not mean or brutal at all by
comparison. I have not known you long enough to tell how you rate on the scale
of ‘nice’ though. I think pretty high since most people would not carry me home
after work after all.”
“I guess not, but then again were
you the size of a mouse compared to a humans size in scale then they just might
you know.”
Kalomel smiled up at Thunder as they
walked along the Seeker’s corridor.
“If mice did open heart surgery with
skill and precision then I suppose they would at that.”
~*~
When Kalomel woke up again she
stretched and yawned. Her body ached with the need for more sleep. Her fate
sense did a triple pleasant ping though that told her all of the Seekers were
looming over her before she even woke fully or opened her eyes. What had woke
her was the pointer finger talon of Skywarp being run very gently up and down
her back. She yawned again and rolled over and out of her hammock.
“Good morning Kalomel. If you
wish to perform a short maintenance prior to our departure to your previous
base of operations that will be acceptable.”
“Mkay…if you say so…good morning
Sky, Thunder, Starscream.”
“For what reason do I not rate a
shortened name?”
“You can be ‘Stars’ if you want
Starscream.”
“Just call him by his Trine
nickname if you wish to be informal Kalomel.”
“I can’t do that Sky.”
“Oh and why not?”
“I don’t know what his Trine
nickname is.”
“I would think that by now we
would have used it in front of you, but perhaps we simply spoke in Cybertronian
out of habit.”
“Probably. Is it that phrase with
the amused whistle on the end of it? I’ve been listening I just don’t have the
frame of reference yet to start learning your language.”
“That was in the Seeker tongue which
predates Cybertronian as it was spoken prior to the war by about sixty thousand
Cybertronian years. In ordinary Cybertronian it would be a bit less complex.
More like this.” The fluting sound of the word still sounded like it was a
funny joke. However it also sounded a bit shorter and clipped as if the front
portion of the word was curled and tucked under the tongue rather then let out
to flare beautifully from the Vocalizer of Skywarp.“In the current
Decepticon dialect it would have a harsher click and a forceful accent on the
middle syllable.”
“So I need to learn threee
languages?”
“Four. We will make you learn the
Autobot dialect as well so that you can on occasion communicate with our
enemies should the situation require it.”
“If only to state my name rank and
serial number if captured.”
“That is something I very much
hope does not because the Autobots would be anything but kind to you within the
strictures of Priisoner keeping regulations as they see them, but because they
might be forced to turn you over to your own nation’s government. You would be
considered a terrorist at that point and your people do not treat those who are
considered such with any kindness.”
“Real terrorists do not deserve the
slightest kindness and should get back exactly what they give to the world
Thunder. However that would make us just the same as they are and that is not
something I would wish to be under any circumstances. However you are correct
they would throw me in Guantanamo faster then you could screech out that obscenity
you like to use so much while being repaired.”
“Thundercracker! Watch your
language around Kalomel or I will be very upset!”
“Sorry Starscream. I am
sorry about that also Kalomel. I should not have subjected you to my harsher
vocabulary.”
“Soldiers are soldiers Thunder. You
are a warrior and have been since before my species and maybe even my world
existed. A little coarseness of tongue is expected from lifer fighters. It goes
with the territory, or so I have been taught to believe. However if its worth
swearing over its worth a topical. So in future let me know if it hurts so I
can fix it in a less painful way ok?”
“Consider me chastised the both
of you. I will try to keep your words in mind in the future.”
Skywarp was looking at Starscream
with a glitter in his optics that made Kalomel nervous for some reason she
could not quite explain. Starscream nodded subtly to Skywarp and then reached
for her to carry her someplace. They picked her up a lot more now then they had
the first few days she was in residence at the Nemesis. She supposed they had
to get over some sort of concern that they would hurt her when scooping her up,
or at least get used to the logistics required to not hurt her when they
literally took her in hand.
“So how long will we have once we
arrive at the farm Starscream?”
“I suspect we will have a few
hours at the least. We may be able to stay an entire day should the Autobots
not be in the vicinity and thus unable to detect us.”
“I can hope for a day but I should
expect about a sixth of that time. Good to know.”
“Kalomel? Are you not going to
use my nickname then?”
“I don’t say words when I don’t know
what they mean Starscream. Not to mention that when they say it the intonation
makes it sound like they think its funny. Its also something they call you not
something everyone calls you. So it seems a little too intimate for me to be
having fall out of my mouth. I don’t have that status with you after all. They
are your Husbands. I am your medic and room mate. Big difference.”
“Would my permission to call me
such make it more acceptable Kalomel?”
“A smidgeon maybe but not much. I
will if you want me to though.”
“I would…like that a great deal
yes.”
“Sue thing then but first what does
it mean anyway?”
“In your language it would be
pronounced Screamer. With the accompanying meaning of course.”
“I was right then. It is kinda a
teasing thing and intimate because I don’t want to know why you are a
screamer.”
Starscream was set to be offended
until he realized that Kalomel was laughing. The picture she made, sitting on
his palm, while laughing with glee at the many levels of joke inherent in his
Mate-given nickname, was one he would keep in his processors for a long time to
come.
~*~
It was worse then Kalomel had
thought. Her barn was ‘slagged’ to use the Mech swear word. It was an
appropriate phrase in this case. The molten puddles of metal under the charred
timbers and ash made it doubly so.
“I’m in deep shit here. I need to
call my Insurance agent quickly as soon as he is open in the morning.”
“I suspect that Someone has all
ready been called. There are about thirty different sets of tracks around the
area where the barn was. Fire fighters and concerned neighbors were some of
them but two of them were more recent and seemed to take a long time standing
at each angle to see the damage ”
“Thanks for the intel Sky. Are there
people in my house right now?”
“Yes and they are moving around
with some speed. I would say they are getting dressed to come and see what the
commotion is.”
“My Aunt Charlotte is here I would
guess since she is the only person who would stay who knows where my hidden set
of keys are, well the second ones since the primary set burned with the barn.”
Kalomel was crying. She wiped at the
tears already on her face but they kept stubbornly trickling down from her
eyes.
“Perhaps you should greet your
kin. She is standing on the porch uncertain if she should approach or not. You
may assure her we will not harm her.”
“Clear Auntie Char.”
“If you are sure?”
“Yes Auntie. Kindly don’t insult my
comrades honor if you can avoid it. Thunder gave his word which in this case
means all three of their word’s.”
“If you say so sweety. Um comrades?”
“I was given the option to become a
Decepticon by joining the Faction named that. Fate dictated that it be so and I
liked these fellows in any case. Its an Engineer’s left nut kind of chance. You
know how it goes.”
“And the barn?”
“Unfortunately our alien robot
friends come in two types. And they get along like democrats and republicans
given plasma cannons.”
“Joy.”
“I think I would like to see that
though let them dems and reps go toe to toe and last man standing wins.”
“We’d have a woman president sooner
then that then I guess Uncle Jacob.”
~*~
Kalomel was napping on her own bed.
Her Aunt had the fate sense just like she had though not as strong pulling a
type. She had taken one look at Starscream and his Trine Mates and sent her to
rest.
“You won’t get much sleep in the
next few decades sweety. I would say take it where you find it and let me
handle packing you up for your little trip into the wilderness.”
Aunt Charlotte had concocted the
most likely excuse she could think of on the fly for Kalomel being absent from
the farm. She had finished her ‘little project’ and left early for the mountains
to go backpacking for a few days and was thus incommunicado during the entire
time.
“She is not going to fare well
with us I don’t think Human.”
“Thundercracker wasn’t it? Yes well
I doubt that my dear boy. She really fares well everyplace she goes. Usually
anyways. Misfortune tags along like in any life, but she is done with the
suffering phase of her existence now, or at least nearly so. It will take a
while for her to heal and the scars to fade, but her happiness will be with
you. I have that feeling it is that way in any case.”
“I wish her to be with us very
much. Starscream and Skywarp are of a like mind. I don’t like the sick feeling
in my processors though. Something bad is coming up.”
“I get the same feeling now. All we
can do though is pray our hardest, and when the time comes those of us who can
must fight our hardest too.”
~*~
The Sheriff car came down over the
hill as Kalomel was having her hair braided into many tiny braids by her Aunt.
The old pot hole riddled gravel and dirt road that lead out to herself and her
neighbors was not the best of its kind or anything close to it. It took just as
long to go down that road in an ordinary car as it did to get to the turn off
from town even though it was three times shorter a distance to drive.
“The bad thing I sensed is coming up
pretty soon. Its not going to be fatal for you dear one. Bear up under it as
you can.”
“Yea Auntie Char. I can and I will.
I still want to find out why my fate sense and everything else jumps up and
does the happy dance whenever they come near me. ”
“I am curious is it one of the three
or all of them?”
“Each one sets it off equally. When
all three of them are in the same room as I am I tingle like I stuck my finger
in a light socket, but in a nice way. I am so not used to nice way with the
damned sense.”
“I’d say not! I suppose the fates
themselves know that the ole carrot and stick don’t work without a carrot
involved though.”
“I’d say not.” Uncle Jacob chimed in
with his only contribution. He was lucky enough to not ‘get the whole Fate
sense thing,’ and was grateful he had married into the family and not been born
to it.
“Call Timothy Dalton. If the Sheriff
takes me away it will be in handcuffs or not at all. I am not going to
cooperate with him. I have a feeling it would be ten times worse if I did.”
“Dalton your lawyer?”
“Yep. He’s not a fancy trial lawyer
but he will need to find one who will do the job when I am found in the
vicinity of the sheriffs dead body or not at all. I am not going to let him
have his way with me even if I have to kill him or ask it of my comrades.”
“:Target Request Acknowledged.
Facing the alternatives one should not be forced to interface against one’s
will if one can resist one’s attacker.:”
“:Starscream? Did you just override
my comm? That doesn’t matter that much. What I want to know is why I get the
feeling that you have been ‘Forced to interface,’ with someone before?:”
“:I have been so forced many
times. It is often my penance when Lord Megatron is dissatisfied with me. As I
said he is not what he once was.:”
“:Oh Screamer…I wish I knew before.
I would have not gone. Autobot shooting me or no it is not cool that I caused
you to have to face yet another incident.:”
“:Everything happens for a reason
Kalomel. You should know this, and better then any of your peers even.:”
“:Yes but as the saying goes ‘there
are better ways to the same watering hole.’ I am sure that it could have been
worked out for the better somehow Screamer. Are you guys well concealed over
the hill?:”
“:Indeed.:”
“:Screamer, Sky, Thunder, just in
case this goes badly I should tell you something important first.:”
“:Oh? What would that be?:”
“:You are important to me, each of
you in equal, different, and yet just as wonderful ways. I don’t know if there
are words for it in your languages that I don’t yet speak, but I love you three
very much. Don’t do anything stupid while I am gone.:”
“:Do not risk yourself foolishly,
but if the opportunity comes to flee the custody of this lawgiver, then do so
at once Kalomel. As ranking Decepticon officer on site I am ordering you to
proceed under the guidelines I have set out for this mission period.:”
“:Order Acknowledged. Junior
Medic Kalomel will comply to the best of her ability. Auntie Char will have my
comm unit until I am safely able to have it back. I do not want to let any
civilians get ahold of technology of your level. They are not able to exercise
the restrain required to use such gifts wisely.:”
“:Understatement there ‘Mel.’ Do
your best out there… all right?:”
“:Yes Sky I will.:”
Kalomel removed her headset and the
belt with the central unit on it. She handed these to her Aunt who placed them
in an old tin lunch pail and took it back into the house to place on the shelf
in the mud room, up high and scooted all the way to the back where even a
fairly thorough search would not reveal it’s location.
~*~
The fight was ugly. Kal’s mouth was
still bleeding and she felt like three or four of her ribs were cracked. On the
up side she had given the sheriff not one but two shiners and his lip was
puffed up as well. He was scowling int the rear view mirror as he drove. She
knew he would be talking her back to his family’s farm and not to the city
lockup or county holding facilities. The turn off he had taken on the old
county road only led up to the old place and not to anywhere else. It dead
ended there and that did not bring any comfortable feelings into her heart to
think about it that way.
A siren blooped briefly and the
sheriff looked up in surprise. He pulled over in any case because he did not
want there to be an upset that would somehow be recorded and leave traces as to
what had happened to her. Auntie Char would know of course, but she and Uncle
Jacob had hidden in the house before the sheriff had gotten close enough to the
farm yard to see them.
It was a police cruiser not a
sheriff's car, but as it was not a mustang it meant it was not Barricade. No
handy dandy decepticon rescue to be had at this point she would simply have to
hold out for however long and hope for the best.
“She is not your rightful
prisoner. As a Decepticon she is due the proper respect and treatment of a
prisoner of war. Hand the female medic over at once.”
“What?”
“It is clear to me now that you
captured her for your own amusement and not to hand her over for prosecution
due to any violations of human laws. This discussion is at its end.”
There was the sound of three impacts
after the very deep voice stopped speaking. The first was the sheriff getting
smacked, the second was him bouncing off the side of his cruiser. The third was
the creep impacting the ground hard. Kalomel could not find it in herself to
feel any sympathy with the way her wounds were bothering her.
“Human are you capable of walking
at all?”
“I suspect I can hobble a bit yea.
My ribs had the boot traffic not my legs.”
“You will receive medical
attention at our base. Please come along quietly.”
Kalomel’s fate sense stung like a
dozen bee stings then began to tingle relatively pleasantly. It was the feeling
a person with any fate sense at all got when around others with similar
abilities.
“Can it be? A sister here among
the fragile fleshling creatures?”
“Brother?”
~*~
Starscream was in agony. He had not
felt this way often. He had known physical pain a great many times and felt
fear for himself nearly as many times as the pain he had come to be so familiar
with. Rarely did he care for any outside his Trine and even then they were grown
mechs and he did not expect them to be incapable of survival without his help.
In all but the most dire situations they would be well enough. In such
situations he needn’t worry in any case because the three would be together.
Now the one with whom they had
wished to form a four person family unit was now in dire danger and they could
do nothing to risk exposure at this time and place to rescue the girl in
question.
“She’s fine already Robot. The
injuries from the fight will heal and she is already in custody of someone
other then the Sheriff. It will be a while before you meet up again. I
recommend you figure a way out to be with her in a way that will satisfy all of
you before then. She wants to be in your little family as badly as you want her
there if not even more.”
“The older female human said that
you were not of her physically related kindred, and so you did not have this
curse that masquerades as a talent on occasion.”
“Nope don’t have a fate sense or
anything like that. I just listened to the police band and a few other
frequencies in the house. They found the sheriff pretty beat to shit out on the
road up to his house and the back door of the cruiser was open. It looks like
one person smacked him and then drove off in a larger sedan sized car. I’d say
your foes have her, so while she won’t be raped and murdered by the sheriff,
she is a prisoner of war now.”
“Autobots are far kinder to those
they imprison then we or your own kindred are male human.”
“Uncle Jake would be more appropriate
bot. You are pretty much going to be marrying my last niece alive, so feel
free.”
“Very well then ‘Uncle Jake.’ I
will consider you kindred from now forward if that is your wish. Recall it
though that Seekers take such things far more gravely then any human alive has
concept of. Kin are closer then simply mates or offspring. We are bound by our
sparks as much as our wills and any commonalities of flesh. In any case I trust
the other autobots to keep Ironhide from slaying her outright until he calms
down. Once they settle their dispute it will be good for them as they have many
pieces of their personalities in common with each other.”
“That means that once they are
finished fighting it out they will respect each other and maybe end up
friends?”
“I think they will be anyway.
Screamer’s right. Inner strength wise alone the junior medic and the old
weapons specialist have a great deal in common.”
“You the one called Sky?”
“Yep that’s me. Hi Uncle Jake!”
“Our third member has spied our
old foe carrying Junior Medic Kalomel away in his chassis. We will have to wait
to recover her at a later time and trust that there is a reason she needs to be
among the Autobots other then to annoy them until their logic circuits fry.
Thundercracker will track Mel and her captor as far as he can before returning.”
“That will do. I bet I know a hacker
or three who can find out where the most fuel usage in the country’s military
bases is going to. That will be the spot they take her with all of these
Autobots you are at war with around to keep her prisoner. Otherwise she would
do what the sense demands and run off again before they could spit.”
“Diego Garcia or so Soundwave
says.”
“Way over in the west coast of the
sates then. Long flight but even longer drive. You boys can go hide out in the
area before he even gets home to his friends. That way you can be ready to
snatch and grab at the opportune time.”
“We are halfway there, correct
Skywarp?”
“Yup, We’re gone!”
The two jets flashed out of
existence in a moment, leaving fluttering white drop cloths behind as the only
evidence they had been present at all.

to authors notes on this one yay!
I was fairly upset at the wording of
a certain review (on ff.net)having corrected the Adult fanfiction version of
this to state as it has been stated before that the way botnatomy works is of
Musashi/Antepathy's and their friend GabrielC's original making I came over
here to do the same and found the review by fishy which I will leave up for
all to see. They came up with the idea and once I knew it was not a common
thing but their thing I gave credit because I would not willingly plagiarize
anything anyplace. However the reviewer fishy needs to do two things, 1: Sign
in to leave reviews even if you have something very inflammatory to say. I
accept flames when needed no problem, just own your behavior. I sign in even to
tear people's work apart constructively, even when I get going off on a tangent
and thus I surely hurt their feel bads. So #1 is OWN your behavior/opinions/words.
Here comes #2. 2: Watch the auto assume stuff buddy. You don't know me from the
littlest or greatest descendant of eve here so don't just automatically be 'all
up in my grill'-{Cousin Hilly Quote That} and assume I am on purpose wronging others.
I did not appreciate that in the least! Thank You!
Technique Disclaimer: 'Sticky' PNP was invented by Musashi/Antepathy &
GabrielC(who may or may not have an ff.net account to go with his aff.net
account If so please let me know so I can read your stuff that is over here :D
thanks!) With some minor changes I will be using this method for the duration
of this story. Also please note the fact that one particular story site( fanfictiondotnet)
does not see the sex scenes at all due to the fact that I want to leave the
actual story in the T rating area to be found and read by as many people as
possible so I can receive criticisms and assistance while I learn this fandom.
Thank you to all 8 of my reviewers even fishy. Now that I have properly
credited your friends you can feel free to enjoy my fic guilt free ^_^}
