"Aliaya..." She closed her hues, inhaling deeply through her nose she let her senses open. It was almost like a warm spark ignited in her heart a thrumming deep inside of her she would have pegged for her heart if it hadn't been so irregular. It wasn't the typical thumping, more like a constant hum that grew louder every now and then. Her brows furrowed as she listened to the noise, why hadn't she ever heard it before? It seemed loud enough that in all honesty she was surprised the others hadn't heard it.

"Alright, now you have to answer some questions." Lennox rested his hand on the female's shoulder and she nodded her head wearily. Could none of them hear this? It was deafening! She scrunched her hues together her hands raising from her sides to rub her temples slowly, maybe it was just a headache? She heard the metal groan as someone shifted, she slowly opened her hues another small nod to the man gave que for him to start asking his questions.

"You have marks on your arms, red and purple ones, where did they come from?" She paled at the question, her eyes moving to her arms once again. The littered marks Sam had told her were the same she now knew were not. A frown tugged at her lips as she traced a finger along the darker of the lines, where had they come from? Her silence and expression were enough for the male as he brought his arm to his chest crossing them. "Well...how about the one around your neck?" Her brows furrowed again as she tore her attention away from her arm to stare at the green clad man. Around her neck? Her fingers rose shakily as they pressed themselves against the rough skin. Sure enough the skin swelled in certain areas and she was able to follow the spiraling scar to the mark dug into the back of her neck.

The humming was growing louder and her fear was peaking, why couldn't she remember anything? Was she supposed to know who she got these marks when she just learned her name moments ago? It seemed ridiculous to her that they would think she would know such things. A frustrated grunt caused her to shift towards the taller yellow bot, a stain creeping onto her face. She was a disappointment wasn't she?

"What about the Decepticons?" His gruff voice tore through her, as he spit the last word. Decepticons? The way he spoke their name she knew it wasn't something good, if he had been able to produce poison she knew it would have been then when he spoke the word. She closed her hues once again, her small hand gripping the fabric above her heart as she doubled over.

She couldn't concentrate on anything anymore, the humming had now gotten so loud she could only see their lips moving, gears shifting, bodies fumbling. She watched through swimming vision as the blue one lowered his face towards her, the gears in and around his mouth whirring rapidly. She knew he was speaking, she knew he was asking her if she was alright, yet she couldn't hear him. She couldn't hear anything besides the damned humming erupting from her core.

A small whine passed her lips as she crumpled forward, her palm flattened against the metal floor her knees had scraped against, her right hand still tearing at the white fabric. "H-Help..." The noise within her chest cranked up even louder, something she didn't think was possible and the female's head smashed against the scaffolding. A cry of pain shot through her lips as she rolled her self into the fetal position. Her left hand extended wearily towards the blue bot, the last words slipping through her lips in a manner of screeches and unknown syllables. "I-it hurts..." With that her hues closed, the last thing her mind processing was his large hand extending down towards her.

She felt something warm inside of her, a spark of hope, no. A spark of life. Something she remembered feeling before, in a long lost memory. She focused on the spark, a small blue light echoing around it with each of its pulses. Each echo sending life to the far reaches of the black space she stood in. A deep voice rambled through the space, echoing and bouncing around her. "Give her my spark." She furrowed her brows as she spun, trying to find the source of the voice, another smaller voice hesitating. "Are jou sure?" A loud banging, caught the female off guard and she stumbled backwards, landing harshly on her bottom. "If this insect has my spark then I'll be immune to any attacks. I can die a thousand times but this thing will hold my life." She felt the small spark next to her swell, a small humming reverberating from it. Her hues grew wide as she rested her hand over her heart, that was the same humming... "It vill bring her back as vell..." She tried processing the last bit, was she dead? Was this spark they were going to add bring her b-"That doesn't concern me."

A jolt surged through her body, the female's body crashing back against the metal table. "Again Ratchet." She felt the tendrils slide against her body another shock applied to her, and again her body jumped the few inches. "There's still no heart beat Prime." A scraping of metal as one of them shifted, "Try again." A blast of hot hair and then another burst to her soul. Her hues shot open, a mangled cry tearing through her lips. She could feel the electricity crashing through her system, tingling through her body and absorbing into her left side. "Still nothing..."

"S-Stop!" She sat of, her body shaking as the last traces of energy soaked itself into her body. "I-I'm f-f-fine re-really!" She rubbed her hands eagerly along her arms as she shifted her attention back and forth between the two bots. The blue one shifted his head before turning his attention towards the yellow bot. "Ratchet...are you reading what I am?" The one named Ratchet paused for a moment before answering. "Optimus...she's dead."

The female paled listening to the words, she was dead? That couldn't be right, here she was sitting up speaking to them, and yet they had the nerve to say she was dead? She quickly spun around searching behind her, checking to make sure her body wasn't still lying there. A metal hand reached out towards her, an index finger jabbing her squarely in the chest. A burst of electricity still bundled in her skin shot out wrapping around the new metal object and the hand withdrew shaking the bits off.

"Ratchet...how is this possible?" A sigh from the yellow bot as he stepped forward. "While you were gone I found something interesting...May I?" His own hand was upon her now, tugging gently at the battered white cloth, most of it had torn away with the jolt he had given her. Nodding her head still unsure of what he was planning the bot tugged on the cloth letting it fall away from her body. She shyly rose her hands to cover her chest as she watched the two step closer, their heads stooping down to exam her body.

Starting at her shoulder thick black stitches ran up to her neck then jaggedly down her chest, stopping just above her groin it jutted to the left wrapping around until it reached her side before traveling back up and connecting to the starting point at her shoulder. Optimus shifted a bit before turning his attention towards the other bot, "and?" Ratched huffed again a blast of hot air tickling the females skin before he reached out, snipping a bit of the cord and untying most of it. Her skin peeled away revealing a crude metal shell underneath, stamped over where her heart should be was a large Decepticon symbol. The female stared down at her body with wonder as she rapped her knuckled against the metal, a hiss tearing through her lips as she moved to nurse her bruising skin. The metal was not like other metals she had encountered.

"I think she has something inside of her, something the Decepticons wanted to hide from us." Optimus backed away from the female before pushing his way through the door leaving the two alone. Sighing once again the mech turned his attention back towards the human threading the cord back through its holes and tying it in a tight knot on her shoulder.

"R-Ratchet...I didn't mean to upset him..." Ratchet spun towards the female waving his hands in front of his face he spoke softly. "No, you didn't do anything wrong. Let's get you to where you'll be staying." Nodding her head the female grabbed the last bits of her shirt from the table holding it in front of her body as she allowed the mech to pick her up, leaving through the same door Optimus just had. "Now Aliaya-" "Please," she shifted her head up towards the towering mech. "Call me Ali." A grumble tore through his chest and for a smile appeared on her lips, so they could laugh? "Well then Ali, there will be a human guard assigned to help you navigate through the base until you're comfortable getting around." She nodded her head as the bot rounded another corner, they weren't all that large, sure they were big compared to anything else she had seen, but she was a bit larger then his hand. She assumed she would be taller to Bumblebee then to Optimus though.

A frown tugged onto her lips again as she pressed her hand to her chest, gripping the fabric she held there even tighter. What had she done to make the blue bot leave like that? Was it because she was metal underneath? She adjusted her arms pushing against the right side of her chest, the flesh gave way and shifted giving the female peace of mind that only that side was metal. Adjusting again she continued her poking game against the metal side, the thought crossing her mind of how long she had held it. How long had she been half metal? She stared at her left arm, was that metal as well? She smacked it against Ratchet's hand earning an odd noise from the mech. Bringing her hand to her face she sighed, so it was? Her hand didn't hurt at all and the pinging that filled her ears meant that she had indeed hit metal.

"Are you alright?" Grumbling to herself she turned to face the mech, tears had long ago started their assault on her face, her hues had begun to shift to a reddened color and she knew her face would be puffy in the morning. "R-Ratchet?" The mech bent over as he entered a room, he could still fit through the door frame but it wasn't as big as the ones on their side of the base. Albeit this base was rather small compared to the new base they were adjusting for them, Diego Garcia. Letting the door shut behind him he lowered himself to the ground, careful not to sit on anything they had moved into her room.

"Why am I a freak? I don't even know how I got these marks and yet I've already upset Optimus." She sniffled, her hands releasing the white cloth as it fluttered pitifully to the floor, her hands now occupied with scrubbing the tears from her face. "And now I'm a crying mess and there's nothing to cry over!" Ratchet shifted a bit before bringing his hand to her face, helping her remove the blasted liquid spouting from her eyes. "You learned a lot today, I'm surprised you didn't shut yourself down into stasis..." She sniffled letting a small laugh fight its way through her tears, she had no idea what he just said. "Ratchet...I know I'm supposed to have human escorts, but will you show me around once?" She rubbed her hues again before another sniffle, "I don't know anyone else..."

Groaning the mech looked down at her, she was a mess of a human and yet she was asking for his help. Sighing he nodded his head setting the human down on the floor he had placed himself on. Pushing her towards her 'bed', he was still getting use to human terminology, it looked like a stasis berth to him. "Yes, but after you recharge."
The female wagged her head happily before turning around stripping herself of the pants Sam had given her, and revealing the marks along her legs. He was quick to notice the Cybertronian symbols inked into her skin. Slave and pet where in there, typical if she was that to one of the decepticons. One of the symbols though caused him to reach out spinning her around. There, on the inside of her thigh was the command symbol, proving that when she was with the decepticons, she could and probably did give commands.

A giggle passed her lips as she was spun around, she knew he was checking over the marks that littered her legs just as she did the first time she saw them. "They're so unique aren't they!" She watched as he slowly nodded his head before wishing her a peaceful stasis and removing himself from the room. Placing herself on the soft sheets she let her hues roam over her legs once again, there were marks like those on her arms, these seemed far worse though. Carved into her skin were a litter of lines and curves some she winced just looking at. Still unsure of what caused them she knew at least that these marks weren't the same as the black ones.

She shifted her body again allowing herself to lie against the soft sheets, and while she didn't think she would fall asleep right away she felt the exhaustion creeping through her body. Ratchet had been right, she was emotional because she had learned far too much today, and the best thing to do was to fall asleep and start again in the morning. Closing her hues she let the blue vanish and moments later the exhaustion swept over her face, pushing her over the edge and into slumber.
