As she sat down at her desk, she remembered another meeting. That one had taken place almost ten years ago, her father had still been alive then.
He had caught her just outside the conference room as he was heading in for a business meeting that had been maybe a week after Starscream's death, right after she had arrived back home. He had said she shouldn't be mourning for Starscream, that he was a no good thieving Decepticon, not worthy of her sorrow. Alexis had looked up at him with those words, her eyes smoldering with rage.

flashback.

The 14 year old girl strode into the conference room right after her father had told her what scum the Transformer who had just a week ago saved not only her life but her entire world was. She took the place at the podium that would normally be her father's, speaking quietly but firmly. "I know you have a meeting this evening, but there is something I must say to you first." She swept her cinnamon-colored bangs out of her green eyes, those orbs were sharp, like an eagle's. "My father spoke about a Decepticon I know most of you who work in the Space Division know of, one whose name was Starscream. I say WAS, because as those of you who were on Fafther's satellites and stations know, he died a week ago in an attempt to destroy the one who would have devoured Cybetron, then very likely come for us. The threat whose name was Unicron." She looked straight to her father who had just entered. "He said that the one who saved his own world and our own was not WORTHY of my grief." Her eyes narrowed now as she pinned her father with that furious gaze. "You call yourselves Christian? You call yourselves human beings? I don't know how you could do so, when HE did something last week that was more Christ-like, more loving and human than any of you money-grubbing bastards could ever HOPE to. He laid down his LIFE to save others." Her eyes seem to bore straight THROUGH her father's. "When you can say that for yourselves then you can come back and tell me about worthy." With that she strode out of the conference room, her head high and her back straight.
