Some days it's just so hard to watch or even talk to her. It's not that she gets under my wires but it's that I can see aspects of her programming starting to emerge. So many times it has happened; a movement, part of her speech, the way she processes data. It all reminds me of…him. Sometimes, if only for a brief nanoclick, it's like he is standing right in front of me again. That he never really…but enough of that. Time to get on with this recording.

So let me see, what should be recorded now? Well nothing really big happened since the last entry. I did discover that a spark can remain in only its casing for an extended period as long as the environment is well maintained. Other than that, the only other thing was deciding what her core programming and position would be. Well let me tell you, I sooner have to go head first against those notorious twins then keep Skywarp at ground level. Seriously, he had way too many ideas and some were just way out there in space crazy!

I had to keep reminding him of her specks and that they would limit career options and certain programming. Don't believe me? Well let me give you an example. One of his ideas was to make her an espionage agent who specialized in bellow ground and hard to reach places. It took a smack to his helm to remind him that she was part seeker and in so would have a degree of clusterphobia. Granted, she'd last longer in a confined space than a normal seeker but she'd still start to loose it after a while.

Come to think of it, I don't think we ever did program her for something specific. I can't believe I forgot that! Oh well, this will just allow her to choose what she wants to do. Still I can't figure out where this new ability of hers came from. Everyone here and even Fastscan thinks it's from the damage but I don't. I know more about her than they do and just can't figure it out. Unless..oh how could I have been so dumb. No wait, that couldn't have been it…or could it? Well guess I should tell you what I am thinking of.

This happened almost a full thirty orns after Skywarp brought me that spark. I was in the lab working on wiring her systems when the proximity alarms went off. We had set them up so that they would give us time to hid everything. Anyway, not thinking I just left the room to go find out what or who set the alarms off. I didn't find anything but once I returned to the labs I noticed someone had been there. Tools were moved and lights were on over her frame which were not on when I left. I could not find anything missing and there was nothing wrong with her body. But before you ask, I did go and check the security camera and, unfortunately, they had all stopped recording for that period. I think this could be where her abilities came from but it's just a guess. She was left alone many times and some mech could have tampered with her frame then.

Well this is a short entry as my shift starts…well now, so I got to go. Oh yes. Almost forgot. I attached a section of Sky's journal which I found particularly interesting. Only goes to prove how dedicated he was to building her. Oh I forgot, there was something that occurred but it slipped my memory banks. There was a huge battle around the workshop and part of it collapsed. Anyway you'll read about that in his journal entry.

"Interesting. I wonder who it was that entered the building. It is suspicion that they would go through all that trouble and not take or destroy anything. Then again maybe the purpose was not to take anything but to leave something."
