BEGIN STORY

Within the last 24 hours, Sean underwent a significant discovery, one that has answered one question on every human's mind: "are we alone?"

Well, yes and no. Aliens from another world do exist, but they aren't green-skinned with large heads and black eyes. No, these aliens are robots the size of an apartment complex, and they can transform into vehicles. Most importantly: they are sentient, meaning they can talk on their own, much like humans.

Being the son of an army drill instructor, Sean was the most stressed about this situation than the other three kids. All his life, his father, Tyler, told him time and time again: "Sonny, I don't want you to be a soldier. Even though I am proud to serve this country, I can't bear seeing you get drafted and sent to the Middle East, and getting killed by the enemy. It's too dangerous, especially how much damage they inflicted on the world."

But the fact that Sean got accidentally dragged into a conflict between alien robots would put his father's fears into fruition. And that is what stressed him the most.

Sean crossed his arms while paying attention to the Autobot leader.

"And since you now know of our existence, I fear that as of last night, the Decepticons now know of yours."

Jack quickly responded: "Got it, we spot any strange vehicles call 9-1-1. Can we go now?"

Thank you, Jack, those are my exact thoughts.

But Miko didn't like that at all. "Are you insane? I am living a dream here in Botswanna, and I will not allow you, or anyone else to shatter it!"

At that moment, Sean felt tempted to scold her on behalf of the near-death experience last night. However, he held back, seeing how serious the Autobots were, so he waited for one of them to take the chance. The tall leader spoke with calm authority: "It is best that you four remain under our watch, at least until we can determine our enemy's intentions."

UGH.

"Optimus," cut the white and red Autobot, "with all due respect, the human children are in as much danger here as anywhere."

So that's the leader's name? Optimus. Huh, that sounds like a robot's name.

"Children?"

"They have no protective shell, if they get underfoot, they will go, squish."

To demonstrate this, he stepped his mechanical foot. The slight tremor startled the children.

"Then, for the time being, Ratchet, we must watch where we step," returned Optimus.

Immediately after he answered, an alarm started blaring with green lights.

"What's that?"

Bumblebee turned to the kids and spoke with whirs and beeps.

"A proximity sensor, someone's up top," Rafael translated.

Ratchet, the red and white robot typed away at the large three monitors. At once, a video appeared on one of three screens, showing a lone helicopter with a man walking out.

"It's agent Fowler," Ratchet confirmed.

Sean looked up directly at the ceiling overhead. It was tall, hung with large light beams. It's odd how he couldn't hear the helicopter's blades echoing through the concrete and steel walls, but he guessed to himself two possible outcomes: either there was a large pad of canyon rock between the ceiling and the helipad, or the robots talking blocked off the noise.
