thanx everyone for all the reviews ^_^
and now, the next chapter
Chapter 14
The Metal That Flows Through Her
Red Alert had waited until the kids had left for home and Emrial had long since fallen asleep before he called everyone into a room with a large screen that displayed the results of Emrial's x-rays.
"So, what's this all about?" Hot Shot yawned and stretched as he struggled to stay awake because he was overdue for a recharge.
"I want to show you all something odd I found about Emrial's x-rays." Red was typing a few commands into the computer.
"She's going to all right, isn't she?" Smokescreen questioned.
"The results showed that no bones were broken and all body functions seem to be operational." Red answered.
"So why the meeting?" Optimus crossed his arms skeptically.
"Because of this." Red said as a series of pictures came up on the screen. "This," he pointed out. "Is the x-rays I took of Alexis in order to compare them with that of Emrial's to see if anything was different, therefore, broken or injured."
He then typed a few more commands into the keyboard. "As you can see, the normal x-rays are practically identical, with the exception of Emrial's bones being bigger. Now watch. Besides taking human x-rays, I modified the machine to work on mechanical beings too, so it could be used for us also. These," He motioned, "Are the metallic substance images."
"Whoa. That's a difference." Hot Shot gawked at the two x-ray images.
"The only metal found in Alexis is in the fillings in her teeth." Red Alert pointed out. "So I find this just plain strange." He mentioned of Emrial's x-ray image. It showed metal throughout her whole body, not just in certain parts, like just an ankle or a knee but it was all over as if liquid metal flowed through her veins.
"What on earth?" Optimus brought himself to study the images.
"Wouldn't that much metal of any sort kill a human?" Smokescreen scratched his head.
"What should we do?" Optimus looked over at his science officer for guidance.
"Well, I haven't told the kids yet because I'm sure it would confuse them, but besides that I'm clueless." Red looked hopelessly back at his commanding officer.
"Hmm. Let's keep this to ourselves for now. No reason to upset the humans." Optimus agreed.
"Let's just all get a good recharge and put on our thinking caps in the morning." Hot Shot stretched.
"Good idea. I'm with you all the way on that one, buddy." Smokescreen gave his friend a hearty slap on the back as they headed to their quarters.
"Hmmm." Optimus repeated as he watched the sleeping form of Emrial in the med bay, questions overloaded his mind as he walked out of the room, the giant doors hissing behind him while somewhere, far away, a mini con panel briefly glowed a glimmer of hope of what was yet to come.
bwa ha ha ha ha ha! awww, did I leave you with a cliffhanger? I'm sry. ^_~ maybe I'll update tomorrow. It is a three day weekend..or then again, maybe I won't.It's all up to wither or not you review!!!! ^_~
