A bright light, a blue shine. The Well of Allsparks once again gave birth to new life on Cybertron.

"Where.. where am I?" A newly made femme asked. She was slender and tall with blue, black, and silver coloring.

"This is Cybertron, your home." Said a being infront of her. She looked up to see him, or rather, them. The Guilds of Cybertron. "You will be granted a name, one of your choosing, and a place in our civilization." Another one of them said.

"This.. this is life?" The femme asked. The mech nodded in response.

"What is your name?" The mech asked.

"Uh... I'm." She thought for a moment, words formed in her head, so many new things surrounded her, but then a word stood out. "I am Shard. My name is Shard." She said and stood a little more confidently.

"Shard, assume you alternative mode." commanded the Guilds.

"My.. what?" Shard said, but without a response from the Guilds, she transformed into a vehicle. A car, slim and sleek.

"Hm.." the Guilds conversated amongst themselves then turned back to her.

"Our decision is made. Shard, from this day forth, you will be a cultural investigator!" Just then, a jet came flying out of the well. He transformed on his way down and landed a few feet away from Shard. He was a few feet taller than Shard. He was colored with varies shades of dark purples and dark blues. His optics were grey with blue centers ringed with purple. He had two wings pointed down and sloping shoulders. the stood before the Guilds. "What is your name, young one?" They asked him.

"My name? My name is.. Skywing." The Guilds nodded and talked once again.

"It has been decided. Skywing, you will be a cultural investigator as well!" Skywing nodded to the Guilds while Shard glanced over at him. "Go now, to the Hall of Records in Iacon." The two new life forms nodded and the members of the Guilds walked off to great new lives.

"So, Skywing, huh?" Shard said as they started to walk off. "Quiet an entrance you made." She said and scoffed

"Well yeah, I had no idea what was going on, all I knew is that I could fly. So I flew." He said with a straight face that soon broke into a smile. "And I also though it was cool."

"Well, I guess it was." She said as they continued to walk. "So, Iacon. Where's that exactly? Or this Hall of Records." Skywing stopped then looked around.

"Might have been some good questions to ask those guys." He said, then spotted another mech.

"Hey!" Shard called out and ran over to him. She grabbed Skywing's arm and pulled him along. "Come on!" He almost fell over then quickly followed her.

"Hi." Skywing said as they approached the mech. "We, uh, well we were sent to go to the Hall of Records, do you know where that is?" The mech looked them over then gave a kind smile.

"New. Straight from the Well?" He asked and the two nodded. "Of course. The Hall of Records would be 220 clicks south," he said and pointed in the direction. "And if you don't mind me asking, do you two have names?" Shard nodded with a smile and held out her hand.

"I'm Shard!" The mech took her hand and shook it.

"Castiron." He said then let go of her hand a d turning to the other. "And you?"

"Skywing. It's nice to meet you, Castiron." He said and shook his hand. "And thank you."

"Oh it's no problem. Now go before the Guilds get mad. Oh, and welcome to Cybertron." He said with a smile and the two others nodded. They turned in the direction of the Hall of Records and Skywing transformed as Castiron walked on.

"Do you fly?" Skywing asked Shard.

"Hm.. I guess not." She said then glaces back. She started to move the parts on her back and suddenly, they extended outward into wings. Metal feather like structures came from them. "Nevermind!" She said as boosters on her feet launched her into the air she fumbled a little while before somewhat getting the hang of it. She ended up falling and flipping over, landing on hey side. Skywing transformed back and quickly went over to her.

"Are you okay?" He asked and held out a hand. Shard simply laughed as she took his hands and he helped her up.

"I'm fine, I just need some practice on that." She said as she stood.

"Yeah, should we go on foot?" He asked and gave her a small smile.

"Well, you can. I'm rolling!" She said and started to run. She jumped and transformed into her alt mode and took off.

"Okay then." Skywing said and took to the air.


After a while, they transformed back and walked up to a building.

"So, is this it?" Shard asked and Skywing shrugged. "Well, seems grand enough." He said

"That's good enough for me! Let's go!" Shard said as she again grabbed his arm and pulled him into the building. They looked around, slightly lost, but the were met by someone much bigger than both of them.

"Greetings. I am Alpha Trion. I have not seen you two before. What are your names, and why have you come to the Hall of Records?"

"Uh, well-" Shard started, but was cut off by Skywing.

"I am Skywing and this is Shard. We just came from the Well of Allsparks."

"Yeah, and we were sent here by these mechs. They said that we are to be Cultural Investigators." Shard finished for him. Alpha Trion nodded.

"I see." He said then lead them to a hallway.

"I will assign you both to a data clerk. You are to report to them after each of your travles. Come. They will tell you all you need to know." He glanced back at them to make sure they where following. "For now, I will tell you the basics of our society." Alpha Trion lead the two down a hall as he spoke to them. "Here on Cybertron, we have what we call a caste system. You two are lucky. You are higher up in the system since you have been assigned you're duties."

"So what do we do exactly?" Shard asked as she hurried to keep up.

"As cultural investigators you two will travel the globe and find out as much as you can on each trip about how different Cybertronians live. Different ways and walks of life..." Shard and Skywing started to talk among each other and somewhat tuning out Alpha Trion as they followed.

"So, are we partners?" Shard asked and looked up at Skywing.

"Well, I guess so. As of now, we have been." Skywing said and Shard chuckled. "It doesn't sound like a bad plan."

"Yeah, it doesn't." Shard said with a smile. "So, we'll be traveling a lot, On the bright side, we're higher up in this caste system. I wonder what happens to the lower class." Shard asked in a hushed voice. Skywing just looked at her and shrugged. "Hm... well I guess we'll find out."

"Oh, you will." Alpha Trion said, which made Shard jump a little. She didn't realize he was listening to them. They all fell quiet as they turned and walked into another hallway lines with doors. "Each one is an office for data clerks. And this is only a small fraction of all the data clerks we have." He led them to a door and it open as they walked up to it. As the door opened, a mech glanced over then quickly stood when he realized who had walked in.

"Alpha Trion. What brings you here?" The mech asked. He was a tall narrow shouldered mech that was maroon and silver.

"I am assigning a new cultural investigator to you." Alpha Trion stepped aside to show him the two others. "Russet, this is Skywing and Shard. They are new cultural investigators. Skywing will be reporting to you after his travels and relay you his collected data." Russet walked around his desk to great him.

"It's nice to meet you." He said as he outstretched his hand. Skywing took it and shook his hand with a nod.

"Likewise." Skywing said then turned to Alpha Trion. "So.. we wont have the same assigned data clerk?" he asked Alpha Trion.

"No. Russet is skilled. But he already has five others that are assigned to him." He said as he walked out, gesturing for Shard to follow. He turned back and looked to Skywing. "Skywing. I will leave you here with Russet. He will give you everything you need as far as equipment. Russet," He then turned to the maroon mech, "Show him anything you think he needs to know about before he leaves." Russet nodded to him as he left. Shard looked at Skywing as the door closed.

"Before he leaves?" Shard asked as she looked up at Alpha Trion.

"Yes, you two will so as soon as you both are done here. Your job starts almost immediately." He said as he continued to walk.

"Oh." Shard say and looked down the hall. They walked through a few more halls. Shard stayed quiet for a little while until she could no longer hold in her burning question.

"Ok, we've been walking for a while, so who's my data clerk?" She asked and again looked up. Alpha Trion said nothing as he walked up to a door and it opened. There sat a blue, red, and silver mech with broad shoulders.

"Shard. This is Orion Pax." He stood up and walked up to them. "You will be reporting to him."
