Home chapter six: a time to heal, time for pure joy

Okay, first off I have five people wanting to have my permission to draw my characters and that's fine. I trust that you all will keep my characters real as they are and I the owner of my characters. Does anyone else who writes stories do this and could explain it to me please? The transformers 'names' of course belong to Hasbro and the ship, the Ark and it's onboard computer Tel-tran. My transformer characters so far are Staylie, Rammer, Bounce, Beamer, Rammer's friend, Gavin and Shockwave's minions, Glidrock and Dogwin and there is others too that I have stated in the other chapters. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed folks okay I'm old, retired and love writing when I can. I posted my email address on my profile page for those who have to talk to me about their drawings and I get together with them. I'm willing to listen and learn. Like I said, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed so be patient. I looked and saw nearly three hundred people have taking their time to read this story and I'm very humbled and I thank you.

Here we start in Ratchet's med bay. The reports from Ratchet's tests and physical examinations and fluid work on the new arrivals I am putting in here. Some reports will be little personal in nature so just be warned now. But, there is no room to write it all in one chapter so the reports will spill over into chapter seven. After this I'll get the story back on track. Oh, one last note, I have struggled for now two weeks on how I was going to write this chapter. So, I'm just going to write it out. But, I think you will love it. You got to let me know please take a few minutes and send me a review, thanks.

It was 9AM when the alarm went off notifying the base that there is a request for an incoming conference call from the General. SIC Prowl, immediately informed Optimus who was setting in the waiting room in Ratchet's med bay. Lennox was notified by Staff Sgt. Larry Bose then proceeded to the command Center and while Lennox was in route he called Prime on the radio. Lennox told Optimus that he will talk to him later about the conference call with the General later. Optimus answered the radio and said, "acknowledge, thank you". It has been a dramatic change for the bots within the last 24 hours ago. It went from wondering if any other Autobots exist to now having them safe with them here on the base at last. Now, Ratchet is going to each med bay and to talk with them, doing fluid testing, x-rays and scanning which is much like the human cat scan. It will take about roughly twenty five to thirty minutes for each bot. They will go through a series of test and then they will receive a strong dose of energon and any other medication they need then be released on one condition, rest confined to quarters for 24 hours.

Bay three

Ratchet walks in to see Elita sitting up in the bunk looking at her tablet either surfing the web or reading the files they received from SIC Prowl about Earth and ground rules.

Elita one was startled when she heard Ratchet walking in. "Elita one, I'm really glad you all made it here. I was so sure that the US government was not going to allow it." Ratchet said as he sat some instruments down on the table by the bunk. Then Elita one sat her tablet down beside her and told Ratchet, "me too! I missed my Lug nut and I just knew in my spark he just had to be still alive, some where." Ratchet at this time was using his portable scanner waving it above her body. Ratchet saw from the readings that her left strut was fused with her ankle and her lower two vertebrae are also fused together. "What hurts the most your left ankle or lower back?" Ratchet asked her when he sat his scanner down on the table. Elita one said her left ankle. Ratchet then asked her what happen as he started running a diagnostic program on the monitor. "Well, I'll tell you the stupid thing I did. The others and I had only 2 cycles(2 hours) to finish up loading everything we could, well, I had to much in my hands and trying to hurry. So, I got up to the top of the ramp and as I stepped up on to the deck, my left ankle gave way,"Elita one said. Red Alert helped with putting it back together the best he could. Ratchet continued to listen to her talk about it as he drew some fluid out of her fluid valve on her right wrist Then he put the sample in the fluid analyzer unit. "I'll have to set you up for surgery to replace the ankle joint then put your foot in a brace for two to four days then a couple days later x-ray it again." Ratchet also told her the results of her fluid work. It showed that her immune system was down some meaning she could have an infection in her body. Then chemical 34 is low at .75 and it should be in the .90 range. Ratchet got up from his chair there at the table and went to the medicine cabinet and got .05anonits of hydrcon for the pain and .15 anonits of chemical 34 and one dose of giaticon to boost her immune system then one half gallon bag of energon. Ratchet came back to the table and set the medicines down then he ask her, "I need to ask, how do you mentally feel right now?"

Elita one looked up at him and said, "Right now, relieved and exhausted." Ratchet then gave her a shot for the pain and a booster shot of giaticon. Then he put .15 anonits into her energon bag then started her IV drip. Ratchet was cleaning up and looked over there at Elita one and asked her, "how are you feeling?" Elita smiled slightly and replied, "very tired, what in the world did you put in that concoction?" Ratchet smiled then he told her, "I gave you a low dose of pain med." Elita one shook her head with a smile then Ratchet patted her on the shoulder and told her, "no problem now Lay back and rest I'll check back with you in about a half hour and now I will let Optimus know he can come in now to see you." Elita told him thank you and then Ratchet left out heading for his office.

A few minutes later Optimus walked into bay three where his beloved sparkmate Elita one had fell into sleep stasis. So, Optimus quietly walked over and sat in the chair next to the bunk. He then placed his hand on her chest and bent over and softly kissed her on her mouth plates. Elita one opened her optics and slightly gasped aloud, "oh where?" she said. "It's okay my sweetspark I'm here." Optimus said as she sat up in the bunk then put her arms around him. They held on to each other now beginning to feel that pure joy knowing now that they will never be separated again. Optimus raised his hands up and held her head up and told her, "don't worry my love, I believe in time that things will get better for us here on this planet. We and the humans have so much in common." Elita one nodded but at the same time was very sleepy. But, she asked Optimus, "I hope so right now stories are reporting resentment and hate. But, why do you and Col. Lennnox and the other humans here on the base trust us?"

Optimus thought for a brief moment then looked her in her optics and said, "It wasn't that way at the beginning. Lennox trusted us because Sam Whitwicky who was the boy who had the glasses from his great, great grandfather whom discovered accidentally where Megatron crash landed over two hundred years ago." Optimus got quite seeing that Elita one fell back into sleep stasis. He gently leaning her back down on to the bunk then he quietly left the room.

All the bots except SIC Prowl where sitting in the waiting room. Some where just standing outside the waiting room reading their tablets and others were standing just a few feet outside the hanger bay doors looking around. Meanwhile, Ratchet was in his office and receiving a string of reports coming from Red Alert outside in the Ark. Adding to his medical files of information on the new arrivals. Ratchet has scheduled surgery for Elita one on his calendar for August 3, 2009 Monday 10AM. With that done he then picked up the pad with Moonracer's name on it and then left out for bay two.

Ratchet walks into the room and sees Moonracer or 'Moony' as he had always called her, sitting there on the bunk. They hugged again with just pure joy at being together again and the war is over too! Ratchet helps her lay back on to the bunk as he pulls his scanner out and start scanning over her. "Moonracer is there something wrong with your lower back?" Ratchet asked her and she said yes, she got hit hard against the hull of the ship when they went through the grand daddy of all asteroid fields. "in fact, we all got banged around pretty good" Ratchet put down his scanner and told Moonracer to turn over on her side as he wanted to see her back and he saw where three vertebrates were damaged and fused together and that explains why she can't walk very well and is using a cane. Ratchet helped her roll over back on her back but she couldn't lay flat on her back struts. So, he helped her to set up in the bunk while Ratchet continued scanning her then he slipped a board under her near her lower back and used his portable ex-ray gun to take a picture of her lower back. While waiting for the picture Ratchet got what he needed to take a fluid sample. Moony was reading her tablet while Ratchet stood there taking a fluid sample. Moony looked up and said, "The boys and me are so glad the war is over." Ratchet lean over and kissed her on her mouth plates and said to her, "I know my sweetspark listen you need to in a little while surf the web and find you a vehicle you like and scan it. Ratchet then took the vile of her fluid sample and put it into the analyzer machine. The x-ray was showing four of her vertebrates were fused. Which is why she can hardly walk. I'm going to give you a low dose of some pain killer and set your energon IV drip up." Ratchet gave some pain meds and by the time he got the Iv drip going Moony slipped into sleep stasis so he left.

Command Center 90AM

Col. Lennox and his team were there and SIC Prowl also stood aside waiting for the video conference call to start soon. When Lennox turned to Prowl and asked him," So Jazz is your younger brother?" Prowl replied and said, "yes, he was maybe only 1700 years old when I started in the military guarding our capital Iacon from the evil freak Quintessons who kept sending bounty hunters after the mine workers." Prowl got quite now as the General appeared on the big Screen.

"Good morning Col. Lennox, how are the new arrivals. The new software has given us quite extensive list about each of those Autobots." Lennox replied, "yes sir, that's good news."

The General talked about the new arrivals and he said that he was glad the spacecraft had a cloaking device on it because, there has not been anything said about the ship from our allies or other. Lennox told the General, "Sir, I'm happy for them all. Seeing that they are all that now exist of their species." The general said, "that's good I'm really happy for all of them. Please Let Prime know I would like meet them. I got to go, I'll keep in touch." That was the end of the call and Lennox said to Prowl as he left,"I'm glad your little brother made it here." Prowl nodded and in a soft unusual voice said, "thank you William. Lennox nodded and left the hanger and Prowl left too headed back to Ratchet's med bay.

Okay, we pick back up in chapter seven where Ratchet continues checking over all the new arrivals. Now, please leave a review or suggestions because I would like to know what you all think.
