"Hay, how's it going? Anything yet?"
"no, nothing yet"
"Do you think she'll come online soon?"
"possibly, maybe, hard to say. She was so extensively damaged; I mean it took us over a week to conduct all the repairs. Poor thing, what ever happened it is horrible to think that this was the first thing she experienced."
"So true, your first should be of comfort and welcoming. From the looks of her when Riverrun brought her in I doubt that happened. Speaking of Riverrun did he say where he found her at?"
"nope, not to me at least"
"Hum. I don't like it. I know the wars over but I don't trust those cons. Still did you notice any symbol as you repaired her?"
"symbol! You got to be joking, even if there was one her paint was all melted off along with a good portion of her circuitry"
"Primus! What happened to this one?"
"oh hay looks like she is coming online. Go get Windstorm."
"Ok be right back"
------------------------------------
Awareness slowly came back to her, then came the memories. Sitting up suddenly a residual scream filled the room as the terror came flooding back to her.
"whoa! Its ok, your safe, nothings going to hurt you" the voice came from a green and white mech as he gently placed his hand on her shoulder. He could feel her body trembling "your safe, please calm down or you'll overload yourself." Just as he finished speaking the doors opened and two new mechs walked in. As they approached the table the taller black, white and blue mech spoke "what happened? How is she?"
Turning to look into his sapphire eyes she heard the one on her right reply "she's ok, just residual memory engrams catching up. She hasn't said anything yet though." Watching the mech approach her she studied him intensely. "I'm glade to see you're functional again. You gave us quite the challenge and a few scares along the way" bending down he looked into her optics "my name is Windstorm and I'm in charge of this outpost. The one you met first is our medic Fastscan and this mech" pointing to the short grey and red one standing at the foot of the table "is one of our engineers, Refit. Now what is your name dear?"
"My name?" she thought to herself. "What is my name?" searching her memory banks she realized that there was much data missing. "My name…..my name is…..Nightstalker" glancing up at the three mechs standing around her.
"Well Nightstalker welcome to our little club here. Its not much yet but we got big plans" Refit mentioned from the end of the table "common I'll fill you in since we know you lost a lot of your memory."
Swinging her legs over Nightstalker leaned off the table, took two steps then stumbled. "Whoa there, not so fast. Your body's still adjusting" Windstorm kindly spoke as he caught her mid fall. "Refit get over here and help her to the commons room." As the two walked out of med bay, Windstorm walked over to a computer terminal, pushed a button and spoke "Riverrun, my office, now!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Helping Nightstalker walk they finally reached the commons. Sitting her down at a table he walked across the room, retrieved two glasses of energon and returned to the table handing one to her. "Drink this it will help" sitting himself down across from her. "So what is the last thing you remember? How much do you remember?"
Staring at the drink in her hand she looked up at Refit seeing a calm, caring and concerned face. Pausing for a moment to think she took a sip from her cup "fire, explosions, and pain……so much pain. Other than that and waking up here I seam to have lost or at least can't access any other data"
Taking a sip from his own glass he looked across at her "well it is your lucky day, I'm off shift and will be your personal historian for this lecture" smiling broadly. "First off you are on Cybertron our home world and are of a race called transformers." So for the next five cycles nightstalker listened and questioned the information about her home world, its history, the wars, about the autobots and decepticons, the new found peace and plans for a new future.
Just as he was about to go into another lecture about his grand plans for construction another mech walked in. He was tall like Windstorm but was dark green with red and black streaks. Looking at Nightstalker he smiled "gees Refit you gota give her time to process data" sending a sly grin his way. "For your information Riverrun, I was giving her time and she is a very fast learner" sending back a not so pleasant look.
Shrugging Riverrun approached the table and extended his hand "Hello Nightstalker it is nice to see you finally up and around. My name is Riverrun and as much as Refit would love to continue telling you stories I'm under instruction from Fastscan to show you to your quarters." Turning his head to look at Refit "she is still repairing and needs to rest."
Still examining Riverrun she notices that he is different from the other three she met. "They all have the red autobots symbol that refit told me about. So this must mean that he is a decepticon." Reaching out she took his hand and stood up. Still a little shaky she appreciated the assistance from him "thank you for the information Refit. I look forward to hearing more from you." Smiling she followed Riverruns lead to where her quarters were.
Arriving at her quarters he reached down and punched in a number code and the door slide open. Bringing her over to the recharge berth she laid down on her side "Thank you…I feel that I owe you a great gratitude of thanks." Looking up she saw him walking towards the door. "Your welcome but you don't owe me anything" giving her a kind smile "now power down and get your rest. You can find me latter and we will talk."
Listening to him she put her head down "they all seem so nice, it's hard to see how they wanted to kill each other. Guess I will find out more latter" with that her optics closed and she slipped into recharge.
Seeing her in recharge he turned towards the door "no nightstalker, it is me who owes you and owes you an explanation" stepping outside he pressed a button to close the door.
