"alright sam, let's get you on your feet" Ratchet said, slowly Sam got up followed by Bee, the Medbot stood there looking him up and down, "well there's one thing at least, you definitely make an impressive looking autobot, even at your height you look like a force to be reckoned with" Sam smiled at this or at least he tried, he knew by now that his face showed little at the moment. The light scanning his body changed through different colors and directions before settling into one last scan, head to toe, then it vanished and Ratchet stood there unmoving as he processed the data, the empty silence was only broken by the sound of Bumblebee stroking Sam's hand with his thumb, the yellow Autobot held on tightly hoping to make the worry in his lovers spark vanish.

At long last Ratchet turned his head to look at Sam, "everything looks normal, but there are some readings that I can't understand, I believe that this is because your body is mostly made of the same material as the allspark, this means your body will most likely be stronger than a normal autobot's, but that doesn't mean you can take chances when it comes to danger, you still need to watch your back", Sam was still a little worried, yeh it was cool that he had a body stronger than most, but were there unseen things waiting to cause more trouble for him in the future, as the thoughts ran through his head Bumblebee gripped his hand harder, he could tell that Bee wanted to take that worry away from him, that he wanted to make him happy again, though it should have been odd having someone share his feelings like this, Sam could only feel happy that he wasn't alone, no matter what was troubling him there was someone there stand by him, ready to hold him until he was no longer in pain, he had never had anything like this, he had family, friends, but none had ever been this close and he wasn't sure that he had ever wanted anyone this close before, but now with Bee it felt so right.

"now if your ready, we'll begin some basic tests, I need to measure your response to the surrounding environment, first look around the room and tell me some details on the objects you can see" Ratchet waited as Sam looked from one corner to another, "ok what do you want to know, I've got all these information boxes connected to what I'm seeing, there's kind of a lot here, information about composition, energy, structure, weaknesses, threat level", "ok sam just wait a second" Ratchet said stopping the ever growing list coming from the new Autobot, "it seams that you have scanners as powerful as bumblebee's, I hadn't expected that, I thought.." the Medbot trailed off mid-sentence, "you thought what ratchet?" Sam asked a little confused, "it's nothing sam, I just thought that you would have standard scanners that's all, well lets get moving on shall we, now next test, I need you to try and alter some of you armor plating a little, I want to make sure that your ready to take an alt-form" Ratchet waited as Sam focused on his arm, slowly plates shifted revealing the parts beneath, then just as slowly they shifted back and locked into place again, the Medbot made a small "humm" as he scratched his chin.

For a moment Sam got worried, was something wrong, sure it had felt a little strange watching his arm open up like that but he had done it right, it wasn't like anything had fallen off or blown up, "that was slower than I would like, if you needed to open a section to deploy a weapon then you would have been slagged long before you got a shot off" Ratchet made another long "humm" when he finished talking. That was it, he was a little slow, great now Ratchet would have him doing Autobot exercises to get him into shape, "sam I think I know whats wrong, part of you didn't really want to open you armor up like that, you have to want it more, like when you wanted to bond with me" Bumblebee placed a hand on Sam shoulder as he spoke, he wanted his lover to relax so that he could focus. What Bee said made sense, the plates over his spark had no problem moving when he had wanted to bond, maybe he didn't really want to accept this, but he had little choice, Samuel James Witwicky was an Autobot now and he had to deal with it, there was no going back, at least if he got control over his new body he could bond with Bee, he had done a lot more over the years in attempts to get Mikaela to notice him, focusing on how this would help bring him closer to Bumblebee, Sam again willed the plates on his arm to open, this time the plates snapped open with such force that anything trying to hold them would have been destroyed.

"well it seems that you just need the proper motivation" Ratchet commented, Sam felt happy, he had managed to do it and it was because of Bumblebee, he felt that while he had Bee next to him there was nothing he couldn't do, "alright sam now we need to test you com system, I want you to try and contact another autobot, just think about who you want to contact and try sending a message", this was a little harder, Sam thought about Bumblebee, about wanting to send a message to him, but nothing happened, "ahh dam it" he thought, "I wish there was an easier way than this" the thought echoed in his mind then words appeared, "please wait, adapting interface controls" the message flickered for a few seconds, then a small group of symbols appeared along the bottom of his vision, one looked like a phone, no sooner had Sam focused on the symbol when a list appeared, it held the names of the other Autobots he knew, Bumblebee's name was highlighted, it flashed for a second before the words "connecting to Bee" replaced the list, then one word replaced the others "connected", "was it that easy", Sam thought, "was what that easy?", replied Bee's voice, Sam looked over to Bumblebee, had he said that out loud, no, it was in his head, "bumblebee?" Sam thought focusing on the connection, "yes, your comlink is open", Bee replied, "does that mean you can hear my thoughts," the new Autobot asked a little worried, he was ok with Bumblebee knowing his deepest thoughts, but he wasn't sure if he wanted Ironhide or one of the others knowing everything he was thinking when he connected to them, "only the ones you want to share with me sam, if you think of the link first then think what you want to say I will hear it, but you can stop sending to me at anytime you want", Bee explained, "so it's like telepathy?" Sam asked, "no, I can't read anything you don't send to me" Bumblebee answered.

Ratchet was watching with interest, from their movements he could tell that Sam had managed to open a comlink with Bumblebee, he had been worried at first when it seemed that Sam was having trouble, but then he suddenly seemed to get the hang of it and now the two were in a deep conversation. Sam was loving this, he could talk with Bee all-day long and no one could hear all the private things they shared, suddenly a message appeared "incoming com request from Ratchet", the words flashed then a new message joined the first, "accept or decline", "man this is like having a computer in my head" Sam thought, then he realized that he did have a computer in his head, or rather he was now a living computer in some way, this was getting complicated.

He turned his attention back to the incoming com, the word "accept" flashed for a second then the all text was replaced by "three way comlink established", "are you two going to spend all day chatting away, some of us have thing they need to do" Ratchet's message was greeted by words that Sam couldn't understand, though the language was alien he could tell that Bee was probably saying things that would make his mother blush, "link to Ratchet closed" the message flickered across his vision, "looks like ratchet want's to carry on with your tests" Bumblebee said sadly.

Grudgingly they both closed the comlink, "alright sam, I want you to check you ability to connect to earth's internet, but first we need to make sure that you are safe from computer viruses, especially those created by decepticons, for that I'll need to directly link with you, the process is simple, just one cable connection and" Ratchets words were cut of by the sound of a plate locking tight, Sam looked down at his chest where the sound had come from, he willed the plate to open so Ratchet could perform the check but nothing happened, then a message came across his vision "error conflicting commands", "it won't open ratchet" Sam said a little confused.

This was not going well, Sam looked confused, one hand was trying to pry a piece of metal open on his chest, "stop for a second sam", the new Autobot released his grip on his chest while Ratchet thought about the problem, Sam was trying, he could tell that, but for some reason his body was not willing to respond, Ratchets thoughts turned to Bumblebee, he couldn't get close to Sam but maybe, "bumblebee, why don't you try, I trust you know how to check a fire wall and avtivirus setup" the yellow Autobot nodded in response, slowly a metal plate in his chest shifted open, then a small cable moved forward on it's own, Bee took hold of it between two fingers and moved towards Sam, the armor plat that had been refusing to move gently slid open as Bumblebee brought the wire closer, Sam was looking from his chest to his lover and back again, it was like he didn't know why this was happening.

The Data cable connected effortlessly, Ratchet watched as both Sam and Bee's optics flickered into a dull state, this was interesting, some part of Sam was only willing to let Bumblebee in this close, there were a few reasons that Ratchet thought might be the cause, but he could not be sure which one was responsible, if it was because of the fact that the two were meant to spark bond then there was little he could do, that part of Sam would never let anyone other then Bumblebee close, another reason was that if he was still scared then his subconscious was trying to protect him and the only reason Bee had gotten close was the fact that he was trusted above all others. Ratchet stopped running through his list of possibility's when heard the cable disconnecting from Sam, when Bee let it go it retracted into his chest and the plate closed over it again, the plate covering the port on Sam's chest shut closed and locked the moment Ratchet looked at it.

"so how was everything Bumblebee, did you have to upload an defensive programs", Bee looked thoughtful for a second before he answered Ratchet's question, "yes and no, I had to install a firewall, but Sam has the weirdest anitvirus I've ever seen, for a moment there I thought it would attack me, but sam stopped it and I was able to run some tests, I created a locked off section in my memory and installed a virus there, then I let sam's antivirus attack it, it wiped out the virus in seconds, no matter how the virus adapted the anitvirus was faster I don't think any decepticon will ever be able to get past it and now that he has a fire wall I don't think he has anything to worry about", "interesting" Ratchet said, "bumblebee send me a copy of what happened", Bee did as Ratchet asked, the Medbot stood there and looked over the information, "well it seems that you have at least one left over gift from your human body, your antivirus is molded on the human immune system, it takes no chances with infection, any viral programming is absorbed and destroyed by a special set of coding preventing the spread of infection, it's very interesting, it also means that very few autobots will be able to link with you like that, in fact I think looking at the data only bot's with a close energy signatures could even attempt it". This was all news to Sam, when Bee had connected to him he received a message saying "remote access detected, do you want to allow connection yes/no", of course he selected yes, he had no idea that selecting no could caused damage to Bumblebee.

"alright then, sam I want you to try and connect to the internet, see if you can run a search on a subject or two", when Ratchet had finished Sam focused on the icons that ran along the bottom of his vision, one looked like a web browser icon, the small symbol of the earth had an Autobot logo circling it, he thought about accessing the internet and the symbol flashed once then the browser opened multiple web search engines all requesting a search topic. Sam thought about the other Autobots and the search engines sprang to life, pages flew past his vision, it quickly became a jumble, then after a second or two page's either disappeared or sorted themselves into groups, from here Sam could pick out what he wanted, there were blogs on how the Autobots were the greatest thing ever, while others said the were a menace, he was able to scan through them faster than he had ever done anything in his life. "alright sam lets move on shall we", Ratchets words pulled Sam from his browsing, "how much had he accessed since he started"the thought was answered by a message that appeared after the last page's closed "four thousand three hundred and five pages viewed", "ok now this was cool" he thought.
