Home chapter four alarm is sounded
Okay here we skipped some time but, I'll inform you of what happened and what's going on now. Last chapter I gave how the bots are going to be able to transform into a shape shifting figure of a human. I gave that early on cause I'm not going to move the story along. I'm so happy to read your suggestions and glad too that you like my story, home. I hope you get a chance to read some of my other stories too. Although right now I'm just working on this story for now. I have the human names the bots decided on, what the bots new vehicle will look like, where they want to move to and start a new life and the kind of job they want to have. But, first I've got to get the thought lost and dead other Autobots to earth. This chapter starts over a year since the war ended between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The world is far from better but, progress is being made. Nations once enemies coming together to rebuild their countries. Jobs have increased a thousand fold around the world and the search for resources is taking it's toll on the poorest nations. The United Nations has opening all doors to all in need of help in rebuilding their country providing that all involved work together for the greater good. Cargo ships companies have been transporting goods and resources to help others across the globe. Here in the states there has been an increase of jobs in manufacturing, farming, equipment, sales. The trucking industries is hiring drivers to haul cross country supplies and goods to every available port to ship out over seas. The progress over the past year has been only possible through God himself. We are seeing nations who before now were at odds with each other to now respectable and giving alliances. At the base progress there to is being made. The bots have been working on writing the protocols for the shape shifting software. It's thousands of lines of directions going to millions of circuits that make it possible for them to transform from bipedal to vehicle form. That was gifted to them from Primus himself, they were born on Cybertron and grew up learning how to do that; just as a human baby grows up and learns how to talk and walk. The difference now is writing the same program to shift from bipedal form down into a human form. A lot more lines of directions and thousands more steps but progress is being made.

Alarm sounding in the command center, more cybertronian life forms have been detected just entering into this galaxy just north of Pluto. Prime was awakened immediately as was Prowl who had his quarters located inside the command center. Lennox and his team were awakened at the same time. Staff Sgt. Larry Bose is contacted by Prowl and advised him to then advised Col. Lennox. Every bot and human officer on base was within five minutes had reported to the command center.
"Prowl, what are those frequencies?" Prime ordered to know. Prowl sent the frequencies to the main screen and the names listed on their were indeed Autobots they been praying some day would finally come. Every one there read the names , Ultra Magus, Elita one, Chromia, Jazz, Rammer, Staylie, Arcee, Kup, Beamer and Bounce, Nightspeed, Bulkhead, Bluestreaker and Moonracer, Projector and Red alert.
Every bot's optics were glued wide open along with their mouth plates. The very bots they all been hoping to see someday. The ship was called the Ark and it was fitted with a cloaking device that would leave it undetectable. If any surviving Autobots made it to the Ark they would be able to escape Cybertron. It is a very old cargo ship and with that many bots aboard it, it has to be very cramped inside there flying from galaxy to galaxy looking for any remaining alive Autobots. The silence was broken when the siren went off and moments later there on the screen was the General. "Col. Lennox I was just now informed that your station on board computer detected more cybertronians that just entered this galaxy.?"
"Yes sir and they all have been identified as Autobots sir," Lennox answered.
"I see those names and have their information on my screen and I have to ask before the shit hits the fan, Commander Prime can you indeed clarified that these are your fellow Autobots." General asked.
"General Moreshower yes, our wives, children and dear friends, sir." General stared at Optimus and he himself choked up at hearing how over whelmed Prime was by the sound of his voice and seeing tears stream down Prime's face that indeed this was true. The general thought briefly what could he do or say. The room was eerie quiet not one human said a word. They too saw the look on the face's of the bots. Prowl, never shows emotion to anyone but frustration at the twins when they start their pranks. Well, Prowl was seen struggling to keep calm. What seemed like minutes later Prime spoke up and faced the screen where the General stood by quietly. "General, you have family and would do anything you could for them and I'm asking you to help me bring our families home to be together at last. None of the countries throughout the globe have access to this detection but, how can the General let a ship possibly very large called the Ark slip through air space and land on Diego Garcia air force base without being seen by the rest of the world is the fifty trillion dollar question. The Ark is over maybe by a few days away from Earth and Prime can make contact with it but only if he has the General's permission.
"Commander Prime we have a recorded message coming into our frequency." Prowl stated as he stood by waiting for Prime to give the order to play the message. It's a recorded message from the Ark and they may have received your message to come here to Earth. Those on the Ark will only know it finally reached Prime if it is received.
"Prime, my team has gone over the software that reports Cybertronian frequencies and how we can learn with it how to detect what you just did. I'm all for it but, I have not gotten the President completely onboard with it earlier today when I went to meet with him at Camp David. I have a question, "the general went on to ask. "I need twenty minutes to contact the President and I'll call back." the General asked to which Prime said, "As you wish General, I'll be waiting." and with that the screen went blank and the first screen with the names of those onboard the ship and current condition and location of the ship. Just then Col. Lennox gave orders for his team except Sgt. Shout and staff Sgt. Larry Bose to return to quarters at once. Within a few moments the bots were there by themselves and three humans. Each bot was Godsmacked hearing this alert it was what they had been waiting for years.
"Bots, friends, we await the General's orders. Earth is still in shambles from the end of the war last year." Prime said. But deep down he wanted to make contact with the Ark now and make the humans deal with it and then they will realize no more harm will come to them from the Autobots. Not one bot said a word they knew how Optimus was feeling because they too felt the same way. It seemed as if it was hours later when the siren went off when an incoming call from the General had been patched in but in reality it was 15 minutes. Lennox nodded to Sgt. Shout to answer the call, on the big screen was the General. "General Moreshower sir go ahead." Lennox said. At ease Col. Lennox, I have good news if your Autobot ship can as it could be said, land on a dime and come through our air space right above the island? Air space for ten square miles out from the base is blocked by any other country to have access to." In one second the whole hanger went up in a roar but quickly dissipated to silences. "General, yes the Ark can it was fitted with a cloaking device so that any remaining Autobots could escape Cybertron. It can start as soon as we have your approval to sent the coordinates to the Ark." Optimus reply to the General with a ton of happiness. "Okay, they too are not allowed to have any access outside of the base and Prime, I'm glad you and your fellow bots are going to be together with your families coming in on that ship. We will talk again soon bye." "thank you General this means so much to me and my fellow friends." Optimus replied back and with that the call ended, then Prime ordered, "Prowl, let's hear that message". Prowl pulled up his screen on the main frame and it was an audio only message. This is commander Magnus, Prime we received your message that you have found a new place to call home, Earth and we are en route to that galaxy, Magnus out."
"What date was that message loaded." Prime ordered. "sir, roughly six months ago earth time." Prowl answered. To which every bot there was standing there with their optics wide open again. "Prowl, make contact with the Ark," Prime said. "yes sir" said Prowl.
Prowl sent out a coded echo that the Ark could read. While waiting the bots looked around at each other with an enormous relief that after all these eons contact with the Ark has been made. Seconds later, on the big screen was Ultra Magus's face. Optimus smiled then he asked, "Commander Magnus do you hear me?" Magnus stood at attention not understanding English until he received 500 packets to teach them how to translate their words into English and then he replied, "yes sir."
"Good to hear and see you after all this time," Optimus told him. To which Magnus replied right back and said, "the feeling is mutual we have been flying around for eons lost wondering the same as you all there feel. What is that around you Sir, if I may ask." Optimus slightly chuckled the he told Magnus this was a base station on an island on the planet Earth and he would explain everything in great detail once they make it here to Earth. Prowl was sending several hundred packets to the Ark during this time to every bot there on the Ark. Jazz was his little brother and really the only one that made Prowl proud. Jazz was the total opposite of Prowl. He is a laid back easy going cat that is once he got to know you. The raw emotions every bot in the command center was feeling they on board the Ark are share the same emotion, FINALLY TOGETHER!
The screen went blank for a moment then Magnus returned to the board with others behind him when he said, "we have received the specific course we are to take to get to your location and can be there, 7AM your time on the island of Diego Garcia." Optimus said great but told Magnus to engage the cloaking device so that you will not be detected. Just then Elita walked in front and stood beside Magnus and said, "good to hear your voice we all will see you soon." Optimus, smiled and said, "me too." Then the conference call ended and every bot scrambled to get some things done before they land in four hours.
Okay I'm on a roll today. Two chapters upload the same day!
Please leave me a review when your done reading. I see a lot of people reading it and that makes me feel good to know others like my story enough to keep on reading it!
Next chapter they land quietly on the base. Col. Lennox and four other officers will be there to greet them as they exit the aircraft and then from there all the bots will go to back over to the west side of the island where they have their quarters and recreation hall and other comforts of home.
