"So...how long are you three being split up again?"

"Another six months before the three of us are all back on Cybertron"

"What caused the split this time?"

"Starscream made that decision saying that it was probably a good idea for the three of us to be separated temporarily so that we can work on our individual abilities that we've been neglecting, combine that with the fact that quite frankly we're a bit spread thin due to that virus on Cybertron and it makes sense to split teams up for a brief period, the Protectobots, Dinobots and the Constructicons are also going to be split up for the rebuilding and the fact that we're simply spread too thin right now"

"Keeping as many teams as possible together?"

"Exactly, the one's that are being split up are being split up for their specific skills or in the case of the Dinobots they're being split up due to the fact that the three leaders want them to gain experience working by themselves for a time since they have never been split up before"

Suddenly though Thundercracker starts flying erratically

"Thundercraker!"

"It's not me...someone has gained control over most of my systems"

"Great, I thought you guys fixed that problem after the last time someone gained control over Skydive"

"So did we, I guess not"

"Too right you didn't, you're not going to like this but I'm taking over"

"Don't tell me"

"Sorry Thundercracker it's the only way"

Katherine uses her powers on Thundercracker and quickly regains control over her own flight path

"Thank goodness my family insisted I get a pilots license when I was seventeen, and it's also a good thing the League knows about it and will allow me to keep it up just in case"

Katherine then immediately got in contact with the nearest air traffic control and they insisted that she land immediately at the nearest EDC base to make sure that nothing else was wrong with Thundercracker besides the remote control that was supposed to have been fixed. Once she landed she gave them a full report including the fact that she knocked him out using her powers

"He'll be out for at least another three hours then"

"I know, but there really wasn't much choice in the matter"

"We know, now then where were you headed before this happened?"

"China"

"Then let's get you a flight to China"

"Why are you headed there anyways?"

"Doing my job Conner"

"Got it"

"That's right, you got a job with the Daily Planet didn't you?"

"Yep, and since they don't have a presence in China and I know the language..."

"Got it, you let your boss know?"

"Through another coworker yes, I would have told him myself but I needed to get a head start on this assignment and you know it"

"Good point"

"By the way, why isn't there any presence in China now?"

"Don't ask, as it is I'm the best option in any case"

"Because of your language skills"

"Indeed it's because of my language skills"

"Doesn't hurt that no one covers China"

"That too"

Soon enough Katherine was in China and covering the rebuilding story in various cities and towns and also helping in small ways over the next two and a half months, sending in reports regularly just like other offices were doing across the world, though only hers was more consistent in what she reported and when, and she never mentioned being involved in the rebuilding process personally either knowing that a good reporter always had to be objective, she also did have three League fights in between her stories but others covered those so she knew she didn't have to worry about that. Finally though she was back in the states and at her job at the Daily Planet in the chief's office

"Um...hi sir, I'm back"

"Welcome home Kerenai, while I'm not necessarily happy with how long you've been out of the office I do appreciate you getting the recovery story on China in it's various stages, I have to wonder though how you managed it because I see nothing in your files regarding knowing Chinese"

"It's not there?"

"Nope here are your files by the way"

Katherine looks and realizes that she had indeed forgotten to put down her language skills in her files when she first joined the Planet

"Oops, I thought I had put it in there, guess that's something I'm going to have to fix immediately, but do I have to put my family language in there?"

"No, not unless it becomes necessary"

"Thanks, I'll get this corrected for you immediately and then I have a story to write"

"You just got back"

"I know, but it's an important story nevertheless"

"Okay, have it to me by the evening"

"Will do"

And so fifteen minutes later and the chief had the corrected file on Katherine in regards to her language skills and that night he got the story she had when she immediately got back to work and read out loud an excerpt as a means of double checking her spelling
