THE agent lead us to a group of soldiers along with the two people we met on the helicopter.

As one giant group, we followed Simmons and the other agent. "Here's the deal, you've all had contact with the NBE's."

What the hell is an NBE?

"NBEs?" One soldier asked, guess I wasn't the only one who didn't understand what the hell that meant. The man was dark-skinned, baled, and, judging by his uniform, he was air force. Psh, I heard they were a bunch of spoiled babies. I peeked forward a little to catch his last name.

Epps.

Simmons looked to Epps with a raised brow. "Non-biological extraterrestrial," That sounded so dumb. "keep up with the acronyms." Epps and I rolled our eyes at the same time and kept walking with the rest of the group inside the dam. "What your about to see is totally classified." Simmons shouted.

We all stopped once we saw a giant robot on ice. I felt my heart speed up in realization, this had to be him. That was Megatron. As if our twin sense was back into motion, we both looked at each other. "I think that's Megatron." I whispered to Sam with worry etched into my eyes.

The secretary of state blinked up at Megatron, to me, then to Simmons. "Dear God... what is this?"

"We think it made its approach to the north pole and our gravitational field messed up his algometry." The other agent explained. "It crashed into the ice a few thousand years ago, we shipped it here to this faculty in 1934."

We all walked closer to it hesitantly. "That's the NBE 1."

I cleared my throat, time to pull out the facts. "Sir, I don't want to correct you on everything that you know but that's Megatron. He's the leader of the Deceptions."

Simmons snapped his gaze to me, I don't think he liked that. "He's been in ice station since 1935. Your grandfather made one of the most historic findings in all of mankind." The agent, Tom Banacheck, spoke.

"The fact is the source of the modern age, microchipped, lasers, face flight cars will reverse engineer by studying him. NBE 1, that what we call it, hon." Simmons explained, closer to my face with each word.

I literally had to pinch myself in order to not roll my eyes at him. So, I just settled on shaking my head to make sure he moves away from me.

"And you didn't think the United States military might need to know that you are keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?" The secretary growled pointing to Megatron. I was afraid if he got too angry, he might have a heart attack.

"Until these events, we didn't know the credible threat to national security." Banacheck stated.

Mr. Secretary blinked at how stupid that sounded. "Well, you got one now!"

While he was having his moment, I began to briefly read all of the soldier's name tags. Epps, Turck, Taylors, and Lennox. "So, why earth?" Lennox, I think, I'm so bad with names, asked with his arms crossed.
