Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, just my OC, Trak Sharden, and I am not making any profit from this.
This chapter is very short and the beginning is very slow. My apologies for that, I was attempting to deepen the understanding of how strange his first actual experience of waking up in a Cybertronian body was for him. I am not a technical person so all of the stuff below in the actual chapter part is made up. Below is a reference of Cybertronian time/distance. I do not remember where this list came from, and I do not have any claim to it.

The first thing he realized was that it was very dark. He couldn't see anything other than the flashing blue glpyhs scrolling across his vision. Glpyhs that, for some strange reason, he was able to read as easily as if they were English and not an alien language.

". . . Hear me? Can you hear me?"
Trak stared up at the ceiling for a moment, taking in the strange increase of data from the scanners and components of his new body. He felt strangely calm for some reason, even though he knew that what had happened wasn't a dream and that he was now the same species as the aliens. He turned his head to look at the Autobot standing next to him. Autobot, Ratchet. Function, medic. Status, enemy, class five threat. He tried lifting one hand and found it strapped down. With a tired sigh, he let his limbs go slack. He wasn't sure whether to call this robot an enemy or an ally. "Are you going to kill me?"
"That depends." The medic said seriously. "At the moment you're our prisoner."
That made sense. If what his memory was showing him was correct, then he was in the body of the leader of the Decepticons-Megatron. And he apparently still had Megatron's personalities and memories trying to clash with his. How interesting. I should be panicking but I'm not. "American or Cybertronian jurisdiction?"
Ratchet paused, studying him with an unreadable expression. "That has yet to be decided." He turned away. "Prime and Captain Lennox are on their way here."
. . . All I can do now is wait. Hopefully they'll have some answers as to what happened to me.
