Numbers. Countless numbers and information ran through the girls head.

Bit after bit. File after file. Her brain continued to work through the encrypted files as it stored everything it saw into her mind.

Although her mind was being used as a super-computer, Kristie continued to resist giving the Decepticons any decrypted files and make it look like she is still working on them. Though it hurt, she found this to be an opportunity to take all that she could from their database.

"This experiment is working out amazingly." Kristie heard Starscream say. "The human's brain is working faster than any computer Cybertron has ever had."
"I, too, am surprised." Knockout said. "Guess the human was right."
01001001 00100000 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101101 00101110 00101110 00101110
"Soon, we will have the entire Iacon Database decrypted and will soon win the war with all of the great weapons hidden on the planet." the seeker said as he left the room.

Kristie's mind felt as if it were on fire. So much information was being stored that her mind hurt on a physical level. Having this much information was inhuman and nearly impossible. She needed to be off of this machine. But how? She's a prisoner and hooked up to a computer.
"That's it! I can use their computer to control the ship!" Kristie thought. Information still ran through her head. "Concentrate on what you want, Kiki. You are the computer." Suddenly, the speeding information halted and separated. She could now see information displayed rather than storing into her head. "Concentrate. I want the ship to stay in place and the current coordinates." Kristie felt her body shift a little, signaling her that the ship has stopped in place. She then saw a list of numbers."Send these coordinates to the Autobots!" The list of numbers then zoomed away, being replaced with a check mark.

"Optimus!" Ratchet called out, gaining everyone's attention. "We've received a signal from an unknown source." The medic then pressed a few commands on the console. "It's a set of coordinates." Optimus looked at the screen long and hard, contemplating wether or not to follow the message.
"We should check it out." Raf said as he walked closer to the 'bots on the catwalk. "It could be a clue to find her." Autobot and human alike looked at each other in the base, wonder if that would be the best idea.
"Activate the ground bridge." Optimus' powerful voice breaking everyone's train of thought. His faceplates were neutral, but his spark was desperate. He needed to get Kristie back. He needed to be there for her while her parents were not. She needed someone to help take care of herself, and Optimus was most likely the only one who can see it. He just hoped he wasn't too late.
Optimus, Ratchet, and Arcee came through the ground bridge and were on the Nemesis. A few vehicons on the flight deck noticed them and began to open fire.
Kristie continued to shift through the data, finally able to control the ship with ease. She then noticed an unknown presence on the ship. Pulling up some surveillance, Kristie saw the Autobots bringing down some vehicons.
"My friends..." The girl let a tear go down her face. "I will not allow any harm come to you." She looked at the Decepticons through multiple camera feeds. "I am the vessel! No Decepticon will harm my friends!"
The Autobots were cornered by many vehicons. This could be it. Suddenly, beams of light shot from the walls, hitting the 'cons, putting them into a stasis lock. Deciding not to question it, the 'bots continued to run through the halls of the Nemesis to look for and rescue their young friend. Door after door, they came up empty handed. They were all about to enter a room before they gained the sensation of falling.
To be continued...
