"Goshhhhh, that meeting was so long!" Teagan said, as she, Epps and Will walked back outside. "I mean, how long can you go on and on and on and on about the smallest details? I swear, they talked about the type of food each person would have for an hour!"

Epps laughed at that. "It wasn't that long man. It actually coulda gone on longer." Teagan just looked at him wide eyed.

"If I ever get dragged to another meeting that lasts longer than 2 or 3 hours, I'm blaming you Epps." She said. Little did they all know, she could kick ass when she had to. Epps just shook his head at her. The three of them headed towards the Autobots, who were all standing near what would soon be an area with another temporary medic bay, and a few places for the four to recharge.

"Hey guys! What's going on?" Teagan yelled up to them. After having been around her new found friends, she had begun to show off her true personality. Which happened to be occasionally too loud, rather energetic, and a little squirrely.

"Teagan, just because we are several feet taller than you, does not mean you must yell to be heard. Our audio receivers can pick up on frequencies that are too low for even human hearing." Ratchet said. In response to this, Teagan just stuck her tongue at him.

"What does that motion mean?" Optimus asked. Obviously, there were a few things they had to learn about human gestures.

"It basically means that Ratchet was right, and Teagan doesn't have a come back." Will said, grinning.

"You know Major Lennox, I have attacks of my own. That don't involve any weapons." Teagan said, as she tackled him to the ground in a hug. She stood up after a few seconds, and helped him stand up as well. "But seriously, that meeting was long."

"Any meeting that has to do with new beings on any planet would most likely take that long. I for one am glad that we have all been able to reach agreements on this matter so quickly." Optimus said. Ratchet and Ironhide nodded in agreement. It was wonderful that there would be no messy politics involved.

"Well, just to make sure everything is clear, Epps and I will go over a quick summary of what was covered." Will said. "Teagan, pay attention."

Snapping a mock salute to Will, Teagan replied, "Sir, yes Sir!"

Will just rolled his eyes at her antics and moved onto the debriefing. "Where we are right now is just a temporary base for a few days. The old Air Force base here is being fixed up and modified. We'll be making our way there in about 6 days. The Autobots will have separate quarters from The SOCCENT team. Teagan will be housed with the Bots. For whatever reason, I don't know." Teagan just smirked at this.

"The governments probably scared I'll pass my 'disease' onto your men Major Lennox." She said.

"That's not what it is Teag, you know that." Epps said, throwing his arm around her shoulders for a quick hug.

"Epps is right. But, I'll look into what I can find out." Will said. Teagan gave him a look of thanks.

"Continuing, we'll see about getting you trained in a few things. Weapons, self defense. Who knows, maybe you'll want to join up with SOCCENT someday. But, Epps and I'll be overseeing most of your training. As for weapons, I'm sure Ironhide would like to help with that. Ratchet, there will be a fully equipped med bay for you." Will said.

"Hmmm, that will be good. In the coming battles, I will need a place to fix injuries." Ratchet said thoughtfully.

"We figured as much. Basically, missions will be arranged when a Decepticon is picked up by your scans or our radars. We'll deploy NEST, and take action according to the situation." Will said with a bit of finality.

"Sir, that debriefing was fantastic! I paid very close attention as you said." Teagan made another salute to Lennox, smiling. Epps burst out laughing at the face Will was trying to give her, which was caught somewhere between laughing and about to give a lecture. In the end, he just gave a smile and a laugh.

"Alright, since we were in there for God only knows how long, I say we get some chow." Will suggested. Epps and Teagan perked up at that.

"We shall see the three of you later then." Optimus said to the trio as they walked away.

-TF-TF-

Surprisingly, Teagan hadn't gotten many strange looks from people. She had a feeling Major Lennox and Epps had talked to them on the flight to Diego Garcia. For military issued food, it wasn't too bad. She ate with Lennox and Epps. The three hadn't said much in the way of conversation, as they were starving.

"That was great!" Teagan said, as the group exited the mess hall.

"Especially after a 5 hour meeting." Epps added.

Will started walking towards the area where the Bots would be staying for the time being, as well as Teagan. The trio entered the large tent, where the Air Force had gotten, no one was sure; the Autobots appeared to be discussing something. But, they stopped immediately when the group of humans entered hearing range.

"Hello Teagan." Bumblebee said.

"Hey Bee." Teagan waved to the smallest Bot. He clicked back at her in happiness.

"Are the three of you back to proper functioning ability?" Ratchet inquired.

"Yes, we certainly are Ratchet. I just came by to see that Teagan made it to the right place. I've got some work to do, and I most likely won't be able to come by until right before we head for the official NEST base. Being leader of the team does that. So, I'll be seeing you all."Will waved as he walked out.

"Bye Major Lennox. And hello Autobots!" Teagan said. Epps followed Lennox out as well.

"Hello Teagan. How was your meal?" Optimus Prime asked the girl.

"It was alright for military food." She replied. "So, what are you guys going to be up to until we leave?"

"We will just be recouping and keeping our optics open for Decepticon activity. Since Megatron is dead, and the Allspark is gone, it may be sometime until our team is needed." Optimus replied.

"Alright. That makes sense. What should I do?" Teagan asked. Ratchet looked at Optimus for a moment, and then spoke.

"I think it would be best if you remained with me. I'd like to speak with you about your differences, and being a medic, I'm in a more suitable position to keep an eye on you." Ratchet told her.

Teagan just stared at him for a second. She thought about what Ratchet said. It made sense. It seemed as if Optimus would be busy, seeing as he was a leader. So, that left the other three to their new charge.

Nodding her head, she said, "Okay, I'm fine with that. I've just got a question. Will I be able to look at Ironhide's cannons again? The technology behind them is really interesting."

"That is up to Ironhide. I cannot answer for him." Ratchet replied. Teagan then looked to Ironhide expectantly.

Ironhide just nodded. "Course ya can. It's nice to finally meet someone else who likes my cannons." He said. Teagan did a little jump of victory.

"Woo-hoo!" she yelled. "Ironhide, I think you and I will be very good friends."
