Hello Folks, I wanted to write a transformers story so…here it is! Diego Garcia is now an island off of D.C. and Jazz is alive. This is after the first movie that gives a little less than 2 years before the second, though I am starting it about a year in…so now you have a timeline. I know my interviews aren't realistic but…go with it. Enjoy!

Everyone gathered in the mixed 'meeting' room at Diego Garcia. It was really just an equipped hangar, but you can't have large meetings between Autobots and humans in a little room. Will Lennox stood up on the walk-way and was looking over the Autobots gathered before him.

"Ratchet, please come more forward, this concerns you the most." He stated and waited for the yellow mech to walk closer towards where his leader was standing directly before him. "Ok, so the boss guys say we need a human medic stationed here and not relying on Ratchet for human care." Lennox waited and watched Ratchet's expression.

"My skills far outshine any human medic." Ratchet said offended.

"Hey now, don't shoot the messenger. There is another thing; the medic needs to also learn how to assist you with the Autobots, Ratch." Lennox said hating to break more bad news.

"So now I can't even work on my own people without human input? Like a human can fully understand the complexities of a Cybertronian form." Ratchet said fuming.

"I know, I know. They aren't being fair. The only good news I have is that I am the one that gets the final say on which one we hire." Lennox said, hoping to defuse the situation somewhat.

"Well, at least they have enough thought to at least give one of our human allies the choice. This way I want have to shoot him." Ironhide muttered from the back earning a smile from Lennox.

"Exactly. So I need you guys to stay in your car-form here for a bit tomorrow while I have interviews done. I will bring them in here as well so you guys will see them and I will test some of their knowledge here. Then afterword you guys can say if they are a go or no-go. Ok?" Lennox said, trying to give them some control of the situation.

"That sounds acceptable. Thank you for trying to assist us Lennox." Optimus said, speaking finally. The Autobots all nodded in agreement.

"Ok, I need to go do some paperwork before tomorrow." Lennox said before walking down the stairs to get to the floor and walk out the door as the Autobots started talking amongst themselves. Lennox walked to his office given to him by NEST and walked in and sat down, pulling out a large tan folder.

He started looking over the few files there; these were the people that were coming tomorrow on day clearance to apply for the job. He looked over the list of names. First up was Regina Walters, a general doctor. Not great for broken limbs, but good overall with a couple years of experience at 30. Second in line was Roy Lucas, a trauma doctor that had a good chunk of experience at the age of 42. Third and final was Electra Michaels, a registered nurse who work in both ambulances and the emergency room. Only four years of experience but very skilled at only 26.

Lennox sighed at the list, only three that applied had any skills that went above basic training. Quite sad really. The few others that applied that had skills had disturbing records. Lennox closed the files and put them back in his desk, he was ready to see his two beautiful ladies at home. With that thought he left the office and signed out from work.

When Lennox had the three candidates come in he nearly face-palmed. Turns out Regina Walters was a ditz, a bimbo in a white button-up top that was to tight and pencil skirt. Roy Lucas was a hippie…in a military base, complete with head band and bell-bottom jeans. Electra Michaels was just 26, but she looked to be the one with the most promise. She had on EMT clothes for ease of use; the pants were sterile with many pockets to carry supplies and a professional blue button-up shirt on her fair skin. Her strawberry-blonde hair was pulled back so she could work. She looked like she was ready to work at a given notice, though Lennox guessed she was with her being an emergency room nurse. He showed them to where they could wait and called Regina first and brought her into the bay where the Autobots were lined up in vehicle form.

He led her to a desk he set up and had her sit down while he sat on the other.

"So, Regina... Why did you apply for this job?" Lennox said starting off the interview.

"It looked so interesting. I like to help other people and I thought I could here." She said.

Lennox nodded, "This is a military facility, how would you be at treating large gashes and broken bones or missing limbs?" He asked, trying to understand the depth of her knowledge.

"Oh, I could stitch up gashes but I don't really know what to do with broken bones or missing limbs. Isn't that, like, a lot of blood though?" She stated, showing Lennox that she definitely wasn't right for the job. He just sighed and nodded and continued anyway. Lennox got up and motioned her to follow. They stopped before the leveled platforms and pointed to the first level that was 10 feet up.

"I want you to get up there, but you can't use the stair or a ladder." Lennox stated; he needed to know if she could get up to Autobot tables without help if necessary. Regina looked it over before jumping, coming a couple of feet short. She walked over and grabbed a chair and stood on it before jumping, her hands reaching now but she didn't have the strength to pull herself up. Lennox motioned for her to stop and had her follow him over to the vehicles. "I know that you are a doctor, but what do you know about cars?" He asked, trying to get a full feel of her.

"Um…I don't really know anything cars. I drive a small smart car and any problems I just take it to a mechanic." Regina said with a look of confusion. "What does this have to do with me?" She asked. Lennox smiled a little before dropping it to turn and face her.

"It's a military facility; we have to know things for emergency situations." Lennox stated before showing her out to the waiting room for the trip back to the mainland. He motioned for Roy Lucas to follow him and sat him down.

"So Roy, why did you apply for this job?" Lennox asked, starting another interview.

"It looked interesting dude. Top Secret things, like, rock. So what you all hiding here, man?" Roy asked, trying to figure it out…he would never guess right anyway.

"Ok, how do you do with large wounds, broken and missing limbs, etc.?" Lennox asked.

"I can work with those, dude. Stop the bleeding, set the bone, stitch 'em up. I can do that dude, course I need to mellow out after. That stuff can be, like, stressful Man…." The stereotype hippie said…the man was a perfect stereotype in many aspects. Lennox nodded and went through telling him that he wanted him to be able to get up to the platform without stairs or ladders. Roy looked at him and shrugged, "I can't reach that dude. You would have to be, like, a giant man…" He said. Lennox nearly laughed, but regained his composure and had them walk over to the 'cars'.

"Since this is a military base sometimes we need people to go outside of normal duties. What do you know about cars?" Lennox asked leaning against Ironhide's hood casually, smiling as Ironhide tried to subtly shove him off.

"The last time I worked on a car it exploded on me." Roy said, causing Ironhide to cease his movement and Lennox to stare at Roy with a disturbed expression.

"How is that even possible?" Lennox said, trying to figure out how you could cause a car to explode.

"Don't know man…it was weird…" Roy said before Lennox shook his head and shoved off of Ironhide gently and showing him to the waiting room and having Electra Michaels follow him and sit down.

"So, Electra...that is a unique name." Lennox said trying to start to conversation some.

She smiled lightly, "My mom worked with Electro-magnetic fields and thought it sounded neat."

"So why did you apply for the job?" Lennox asked.

"I wanted something different. While working at an inner-city ER was interesting, I wanted something different. Top Secret military facility just screams different." Lennox nodded at her response.

"We get extreme injuries sometimes, gaping wounds, broken bones, missing limbs, would you be able to handle those?" Lennox asked.

"Gaping wounds and broken bones I can fix no problem. Missing limbs I can only stop the blood flow and give plenty of time for a more adept medic to take over." She stated, finding a solution for what she couldn't do herself. Lennox nodded, they could work with that. He motioned for her to follow him over to the platform.

"I want you to get to the platform without stairs or ladders. We just need to know this in case of emergency." Lennox asked and stated. Electra shrugged and went over and pushed against the frame, and feeling how it didn't really move before she did a slight run at it and used it to push off from and grab the bottom of the platform. She quickly pulled herself up and sat down with her feet hanging.

"That work?" She asked with a smile. Lennox nodded before motioning her to come back down. She slid off and landed in a crouch before standing. Lennox once again walked over to the 'cars' and leaned against Ironhide again with his elbows resting on the hood.

"We often have people doing odd tasks in emergencies, so what do you know about cars?" Lennox asked casually.

Electra shrugged, "I can fix them, just don't ask me to fix dents or paint because I fail at that. My dad was a mechanic for tractor trailers so I am familiar with vehicles in general." Lennox nodded; they could definitely work with that. Lennox showed her out to the rest.

"We will get back to you guys soon; if you just go over there the soldier will take you guys back to mainland to your cars." Lennox said and motioned to a female soldier who was waiting to go. They all nodded and followed her out.

Lennox walked back to where the Autobots were waiting once the group had left on a boat. "You guys can change now, your clear." He said and walked up the stairs of the platform to be at their height.

The Autobots changed and stretched before gathering in a comfortable semi-circle type shape. "I am still trying to figure out how that man caused a car to explode." Ratchet said, causing all to shrug. That was a feat.

"That first chick was ditzy, I would fear her if I was human." Mudflap said with Skids nodding in agreement…and not fighting about it.

Lennox laughed and smiled before looking over to Optimus. "So Boss, who do you think is best suited for the job?"

"I would have to say Electra Michaels seems the best for the job. She seems to be competent and versatile." Optimus said after a moment's consideration.

"And she ain't annoying." Skids said.

"She so is man, what you talkin' about. They all annoying" Mudflap said annoyed.

"Yo! Don't talk about our new girl like that!" Skid yelled before tackling Mudflap and punching him. The rest of the Autobots ignored them as they brawled, Ratchet muttering that he is going to have more work to do now while looking at the brawl.

"She seems skilled enough." Ratchet said as his approval, the rest nodding their agreement. Optimus looked at Lennox.

"It seems the choice is made, we want to hire Electra Michaels." Optimus said.

Lennox nodded, "I will give her a call and let her know. I will try to get here moving in within the week." They all nodded before drifting off, the twins being pulled apart by Ratchet and being smacked by him. Lennox shook his head and went to his office to make the necessary calls to get her clearance once she said yes. It was always interesting when you added another person to their odd mix.

Somewhat short first chapter, but I wanted to set it all up. I decided to do the set-up in 3rd POV, probably doing the rest in 1st POV with Electra. This is leaning towards a Ratchet/OC romance, but if you want your input on how things go down some or where you want it go, all you have to do is a review. So tell me what you think of the story, review.

Just push that little button and type your opinion….
