The Honorable Augustus Edsel
Mayor of Detroit
City Hall

Suite 1126
Detroit, MI 48226
USA, Earth

Mayor Edsel:

I wanted to write to let you know that I was able to visit Prowl's tomb at the Autobot Mausoleum in the Hadeen planetary system, between the orbits of Galleon and Thuvia. At my last visit to Your Honor's office, your press secretary had expressed a desire for a photograph of the tomb. Attached to this letter, please find a copy for your office, along with a translation of the Cybertronian texts.

I was honored to be able to represent the people of Detroit in paying my respects to Prowl for his selfless act in saving us from the insane weapons of mass destruction unleashed by the Decepticons Megatron and Starscream.

It is with a great sense of civic pride that I consider myself a native daughter of the great city of Detroit. I wish you and your citizens the best as I continue my studies here on the planet Cybertron, and look forward to returning to the greatest municipality on earth!

Sincerely,

Sari Sumdac

Subject: Hi from Cybertron!

Dear Dad,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that your space bridge computer link-up to the Detroit College's online course system works great! I'm having no problems accessing all my professors' lectures and bulletin boards, and I can participate in real-time sessions with my classmates! This is so cool! In fact, some of my friends have a hard time believing I'm communicating with them from a whole other solar system! Thank you so much for working with Bulkhead in setting this up!

You should see the reactions I get when they see my image in bot mode during class discussions! Ha! It's like "Whoa! Who – or what – is that?" :-)

Anyway, things here are going well. Jazz introduced me to Dai Atlas. He is a war hero who retired from military service to focus on rebuilding Master Yoketron's dojo. We go every day to help him, and we work there like we did in Prowl's room; I really like doing that kind of work - it's kind of like fixing a broken machine, only what we're fixing is a broken building. I love it. It makes me so happy to see things that had been strewn about in pieces get put back together! I also managed to repair the dojo's internal systems with my special "mojo", as Bumblebee calls it. ;-)

Dad, I feel like my calling is to do just that: help repair things that are broken, whether they are computer systems, machines, buildings, bots, or people. Jazz senses it too; he says I have been given a special gift from the AllSpark. Dai Atlas is very appreciative of our efforts!

That's all I can think of for now. Will call you on the video phone first chance I get. Love you Dad!

Sari

From: Guess Who!
Subject: Ha! You'll never guess!

Hey! What's going on! How's things on earth! I was thinking of you here on Cybertron and the blast we had visiting Iacon. Remember when we ran into Sentinel Prime? Yikes!

Anyway, I miss having fun with you, Bee. When I get the time, I want to see if the space bridge computer link-up to earth that Bulkhead and my Dad put together can get us a video game link. Between my coursework with Detroit College, and the stuff I'm doing with Jazz over at Master Yoketron's dojo I'm not sure when I'll have the time tho. Sigh... Busy, busy, busy work for a technorganic student / ninja-in-training. :-/

Will you ever get the chance to hop in the space bridge to get up here to Cybertron? That would be totally awesome! Maybe Optimus will give you some time off? I know those Deceptislimes are out there, and that idiot Swindle - I hate him! (Well, Cyber-Ninja gakuseis aren't supposed to hate, and I can think of other words to use for Swindle, but Jazz tells me Cyber-Ninjas should not use those kinds of words).

So if Optimus can't spare you - sigh - I understand. :-)

Anyway, I hope everything's going well there on earth. You take good care of the place where I was born, OK? And give my best to all the bots there. How's Bulkhead's painting coming along? I miss watching him!

If you can't make it up here, I'll look forward to the six orbital cycles when I can return!

Your bud,

Sari

From: Sari Sumdac
Subject: Hey!

Hi Adam! I miss you so much! I'm attaching pictures of my apartment. It's been so busy up here! As soon as Jazz and I arrived, I had to drop my stuff off and go with him on a space shuttle. We went to Prowl's tomb, which is on a special mausoleum set adrift out in deep space.

Adam, I went there in bot mode. As soon as I saw the tomb, my bot emotions were not good enough to express what I wanted to feel! Prowl's been an inner guide to me, but more than that Adam, he gave his life to save all of us in Detroit!

Humans have more emotions than Autobots, and in much greater ranges; the Autobot Glyph says that's why bots have such a hard time understanding humans when they first come to earth. So when I saw Prowl's tomb in bot mode, I did not "feel" the things I wanted to feel.

Fortunately, the mausoleum has breathable air, so I asked Jazz if I could transform into human mode and be alone to pay my respects. He very politely agreed, and went off to another area of the mausoleum.

I transformed, and that freed me up to my human emotions. I cried, Adam. They were tears of mourning, of thanks. I cried for me, I cried for my Dad, I cried for Detroit. I thanked Prowl for what he did for us.

Jazz understands. He's been with humans long enough to appreciate what humans feel in their hearts when a close friend dies (well, I have a spark chamber in place of a heart, but you get my meaning). :-)

But anyway, like I said, I've been very busy since I arrived. Jazz and I have been working on repairing Master Yoketron's dojo. It was destroyed by Lockdown, who killed Yoketron. We're restoring it like we restored Prowl's room on earth. And as soon as I get home in the evening I do my coursework.

As soon as I get some spare time, I'll give you a call, I promise!

Love you!

Sari

So, Sari's very busy! Working at the dojo during the day and doing coursework in the evening. Just enough time to send emails. Thanks for reading.
