"What are you doing here Kerenai?"
"Easy Batman, I'm not here for work I promise, however before I start with you guys there's some things that need to be taken care of and today's the best day to do so"
"What makes you say that?"
"Well besides being the day after a holiday there's also the fact that I still have a few things to do before I start both jobs for both jobs and I figured it was best to split them up as much as possible before I officially joined the League"
"You know that you could have waited until your official joining day don't you?"
"I know, but it makes more sense to do this stuff now than to wait until later in my mind"
"Very well, what all still needs to be done?"
"For you guys a full medical and a talk about my family and what their adoption really means for me"
"I thought they told us everything when we found out about you"
"Not...entirely, and that's because of the fact that it's complicated, especially now that I can't have a personal connection to them in my League identity"
"How complicated are we talking about?"
"Complicated enough that it's restricted to founding members only, no exceptions"
"Wait so we can't even decide if the rest of the League can find out?"
"Nope, no one but the founding members is to ever know about this except if the rest of the League finds out through a means that you'll be told of, that is the only way anyone else will learn the complication"
"Understood, two hours"
"Two hours?"
"Gets everyone enough time to get here and for your physical to be done, do you have medical records as well to help?"
"Yes"
Two hours later and Katherine was in the private meeting room that was for founding members only
"Okay, what do you need to still tell us about your family?"
(Sighs) "First I need to know what you're aware of regarding Cybertronian law and succession"
"The Primes and Galvatron are the primary leaders and if they fall than according to Cybertronian law as far as we're aware of a Cybertronian called Ultra Magnus is in charge of Cybertron while a Cybertronian called Starscream is in charge of those on Earth with a Cybertronian named Shockwave acting as second for both of them, after that no idea"
"Thought so, you're unfortunately wrong in what you believe, due to my legal adoption by the Cybertronians by their laws I am fourth in the chain of command meaning that if the Primes and Galvatron go down I'm in charge of a planet and the military, fortunately we discussed this when you guys offered me a place in the League despite being underage and it was agreed that I could abdicate most of my responsibilities to Ultra Magnus and Starscream, however there are still a few things that I would have to deal with on a semi-regular basis which could potentially affect my job as a member of the League"
"What all can you absolutely not abdicate to those two?"
"Certain budget matters and a few very specific treaties on Earth, other than that Ultra Magnus and Starscream are essentially in charge like you assume...oh and a certain amount of leadership training that I haven't gotten out of since I was eight years old, even while I was stuck in England I had to do training"
"What kind of leadership training?"
"The same kind of training that you guys got in the field regarding emergencies and mass casualties primarily, specific treaty leadership is also required unfortunately"
"We'll deal with that if it comes down to it but until further notice we're going to assume that nothing will happen that will require you to deal with leading an entire planet and we will of course keep this a secret, is it safe to assume the only exception to the rest of the League is if you have to announce your abdication or they somehow see you in a leadership role doing things you absolutely have to do?"
"Yes that would be the only exception, and by the way the abdication would not be broadcast live if at all to anyone but Cybertron, that will be kept private at all times with the only witnesses the leader of the EDC, most of my family and maybe one or two world leaders that aren't the President"
"So if they somehow come across you in Cybertronian leadership duties is the only way everyone else will find out"
"Yes, that's the only way non founding members will find out about the fact that I'm fourth in line for leadership"
"Understood, now then is there anything else you want to get out of the way that doesn't involve joining in missions or training?"
"Yes actually, I have a gift for the entire League on this disk, insert it after I'm gone"
"Understood...can you give us any hints?"
"Nope, that's for you to find out once the disk is inserted"
"Very well"
Once Katherine left Superman inserted the disk into the computer and that's when they found out what Katherine had given them. Back when they had first truly become allied with the Cybertronians due to Katherine (before that they were known to each other and worked together during mass emergencies but not official allies per their choice way back when they first came into contact with one another) they had been given a means of secure communication with either Cybertron or the main base on Earth which was Autobot city (the only reason it was named that was because it was primarily used by the Autobot contingent of the Cybertronians per the decision of the three leaders of Cybertron), however they had not been given a means of transferring data between the two of them, plus they were still vulnerable to hacks from EDC enemies. Katherine had decided that was too much of a risk now that she was part of the League and had been given permission to give the League special programs that allowed secured data transfers and made it harder for EDC enemies to hack them as well and this was needed purely due to Katherine's position within the Cybertronian army, unofficial as it was while the three primary leaders were still alive, but even with them alive either the League or her family might need to transfer data and that was currently very dangerous
