~Hi! If you are reading this, you've decided to embark on reading my first fan-fic. It is set up in an AU where NEST does not disband and the events of AoE do NOT occur. All respect to Michael Bay, but I like all my Autobots in one piece, thank you. I will bring in several other transformers from different universes. This story is called "Technology and Sparks" and because of copyright and all that, cue the disclaimer!
I do not own Transformers, any people mentioned that bear any resemblance to persons living or dead in completely coincidental, blah blah blah, legal stuff, blah blah blah… Now lets get onto the story!

~This Morning~
"Beep...beep...beep" Rang an alarm clock. A tan, feminine hand raised, slapping down on the clock in a desperate attempt to shut up the accursed thing. Once successful in that particular endeavor, a disheveled head raised to begrudgingly look at the time. "Whyyyyy?" Moaned a tired, but obviously female voice. "Why must I have set the wrong time?" She groaned again, before sighing in defeat and raising herself up jerkily to get ready for the day ahead.
When she at last finished her morning rituals, the female stepped out of her bedroom. The five-foot-three woman was on the heavier side of curvy, her long wavy brown hair cascaded down her back and face. Her face was on the square side, with deep brown eyes that looked like molten chocolate, her lips were naturally darker, large and luscious looking, even without makeup to accentuate them. Her body was tan, a side effect of her father's coloring, and her arms and legs were toned, not enough to be bulging, but enough to help radiate the power that she already did. The woman in question, was named Lucy Hodges, she was a computer analyst at a well known tech business, said tech business was currently under a government contract.
~At Work~
"Hey, Lu! Bosslady wants you in her office in ten." Said Jonathan, Jonathan was a good friend of Lucy. Having grown up as neighbors, the two were inseparable.
"Sure thing, Jona, any ideas why she wants me in there?" She asked curiously, considering the many options.
"She said something about a transfer, hope I misheard though, I don't want you leaving me so soon after you got here." He said with a slight pout. It was true, she was new to this division of this company, she was a computer analyst by trade, and had worked for this company for quite a while, but she had been transferred to this sector quite recently.
"Well, no matter what it is, I'll call or video chat with you if I have to. Okay?" She said, smiling and raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, yeah, get moving girly." He said with a teasing and affectionate tone, pushing her towards the office.
Lucy rolled her eyes and walked forwards, allowing Jonathan to trip over an area rug and faceplant. She laughed as he got up, and then fixed her outfit, making sure her slacks were wrinkle free, and her blouse was not stained or rumpled. Once assured in her appearance, she walked towards the door to her bosses office, her trepidation and fear growing with every step she took. She had never had to come to her bosses office under these sort of mysterious circumstances, all other times were to give a report or bring her a coffee. Freeing herself from her thoughts, Lucy calmed down, and knocked on the door.
"It's open." Came the immediate reply.
Lucy steeled her nerves one last time, and entered the room. "Mrs. Hartman, I was told you wanted to see me?" She asked nervously.
The tall brunette woman smiled "Yes, I did. You are aware our company holds a government contract, yes?" She asked
Lucy nodded "I am"
"Well, I wanted you down here, to let you know something. In the course of signing said contract, this company agreed to select, and send over, several of our best analysts for training. You are one of the three people selected to go, and you will be transferred to the government base in the space of 6 months. You can opt out if you wish to, we can find a replacement, but I am telling you this now so you can make up your mind." She said with a slight smile.
"Oh my, I had heard something about a transfer, nothing like this though. Where would I be sent, if I accepted?" Lucy asked curiously
"That is the issue, because we are working for the government in ways I am not free to disclose, that also means that where you would be training, would be top secret." she said with a small sigh.
Lucy nodded her head, understanding. "I understand, Mrs. Hartman, I'll take some time to deliberate, thank you for informing me." She said with a small smile.
Hartman nodded "Great, I'll tell them you're considering it."
