Book Reading Wirejack
Jason M. Lee
"Roll of thunder, hear my cry; Over the water, bye and bye..." Wirejack sung softly while running a deep systems scan on the Ark's computers.
Alexis paused mid-step on her way to the kid's area. "'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry'?"
Startled, the Tomcat nearly fell out of his seat before turning to look at the only female human on base with a sheepish smile. "Eh heh, yeah."
"Why that one?"
Sheepishness changed to wistful. "While not entirely the same, I find it somewhat parallels the division of factions back on Cybertron. We've been fighting for so long that I think we've almost forgotten that we're no different from each other deep down, no matter which symbol we carry."
She gave a small chuckle. "Well, if you liked it, then I recommend 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee for extra reading."
Optics brightened in delight. "Thanks!"
"Welcome. If you'll excuse me, I've got homework."
Alone again and the systems check not yet at the halfway mark, Wirejack subspaced out several bookfiles before finding the aforementioned title. Setting the computer-tech area of his CPU for any alerts, the Tomcat settled down with Jean Louise "Scout" Finch and her brother Jeremy "Jem" in their home of Maycomb, Alabama.
A/N: "Mockingbird" and "Thunder" were mandatory high school reading for me. Saw the movie version of "Mockingbird" and the trial scene stuck out most prominently, as well the song in chapter 11 of "Thunder".
If the disclaimers wasn't clear enough, Wirejack is a TF OC of mine. NO STEALING.
