A few days pass Morningstar experienced another growth spurt, and Maggie takes her to Ratchet. Optimus and several other Autobots had to go deal with a Decepticon attack thankfully he had taken Sentinel Prime with him. Ratchet spent hours looking at the screen until he came across something that looked different from the first time he scanned her. He let air out his vents saying, "Well the first dose I gave her seemed to slow it down a bit but it seems to evolve. Your sparkling doesn't seem to have the code."
Maggie thought a moment asking, "Did you try to treat Sarah or at least scan her perhaps you can find something in the scan you did of Morningstar's Mother."
Ratchet was stunned as he checked his files he found that he had attempted to treat Morningstar's Mother. He quickly started processing the data he had from when he was trying to help her, and noticed a huge difference between how she was set up and how Maggie was set up. He quickly saw several flaws that Sarah had that Maggie didn't perhaps that recovery chamber had repaired more than just Maggie's injuries. He wondered if the recovery chamber was the answer to Morningstar's medical issues but she was too small he'd have to wait until she was at least Maggie's height before trying it. He wasn't sure the recovery chamber could adjust for size. So he decided a course of treatment that he would follow for now to help slow the progression of whatever was wrong with her. He gave her a stronger injection this time while Maggie Massaged Morningstar's stretched muscles. Ratchet wondered if Optimus Prime's spark still had code from when it had belonged to Starscream.
Having a look at Optimus Prime's spark chamber wouldn't hurt anything because if he could get Starscream's information it may help him aid Morningstar better. For now all, he could do was to treat her best he could each time she came. It did weigh heavy on his spark that he hadn't found a cure he was thrilled by the victory of slowing it down. He was growing fond of her she laughed and cooed such a cheerful sparkling for what she was going through. She certainly was a cute little seeklet it was then it dawned on him had he been looking at seeker sparkling data? He'd have to double-check perhaps if he could find data for that exact sparkling type he may better be able to aid her. He was glad about one thing Maggie and Optimus Prime's sparkling wasn't suffering from the same thing whatever it was.
Every time Optimus returned for dealing with the Deception's he wouldn't let Maggie out of his sight. If he had to work in his office he found a place for her so she could always be within optic range. It wasn't that he didn't trust her but he didn't want to give Sentinel Prime any opportunity to be alone with her. At least with her in optic range, he could make Sentinel Prime back off if he did anything inappropriate. It was then an idea came across Optimus Prime's CPU if he put hidden security in the base as well as gave her a communicator to use it would give her more freedom. It weighed heavily on his spark that she always had to be with him or someone he trusted.
She seemed to make the best out of it, she absolutely loved the laptop he had given her. She was playing games online and chatting online in a chat room specifically for pregnant women. He was glad that she had other women to talk to although he didn't like the conversation. Other times he liked what the women said about how they wished they have such a loving husband that wanted to protect her. They all told her to be careful of the man as he could resort to Rape. Optimus didn't know what the word meant but the minute he looked it up. He didn't like it he wondered if Sentinel Prime would ever force a Femme. He was fairly certain that he'd rather seduce her, and then hold it over him. Optimus finished working on the communication unit he had designed for Maggie when Ratchet came in. Optimus handed Maggie the com link to try while Morningstar crawled over to Ratchet raising her hands to be picked up. Ratchet ignored her saying, "I'd like to check your spark to see if any code from Starscream remains in it. I would have asked sooner but I was looking for data of seeker sparklings."
Morningstar pouted one thing she didn't like was being ignored by the big bots so she started screaming. Maggie said while covering her ears, "She won't stop until you pick her up Ratchet."
Ratchet knelt before putting his hand on the floor allowing Morningstar to crawl onto his hand giggling as she got lifted up into the air. Ratchet looked at Morningstar asking, "How am I supposed to look at your uncle if you're in my hand, young Lady?"
She crawled over to his thumb looking at him cutely while hugging it. Maggie said, "I can open his spark chamber doors for you Ratchet."
Ratchet thought a moment before replying, "That would work for now but I can't stay so after I am done scanning his spark chamber. I will need to return to the medical bay I am unsure of how Morningstar will handle it."
Maggie climbed into Optimus Primes hand as he moved her to his spark chamber doors. She opened them and when Ratchet moved his hand close she went over picking Morningstar up and bringing her back over to Optimus Prime. This allowed Ratchet to properly scan Optimus Prime's spark. It took a few hours but Ratchet had found what he was looking for and had removed a small sample from inside Optimus Prime's spark. He closed the spark chamber doors saying, "Thank you Optimus I hope this will give me the answers I need."
