Forever Alone: Transformers Prime

Chapter III

Optimus was at a complete loss as to what he should and what he shouldn't do. He knew that all the others were questionable of this human, just like he was, but for some reason his spark didn't want to let this human leave until he knew more about her. There was no way to know for sure whether or not to believe her story, but when he looked at her, he could see that her body seemed to react to some sort of trauma, whether her mind remembered it or not. 

"We do not know for certain if MECH has found us or not. We didn't give them any way to know if it was our base even though they were here. It could have been just a random coincidence."

"Coincidence or not, she needs to be questioned and studied to determine who the heck she thinks she is."

"I have already been questioning her to the best of my knowledge and it seems to me that she has no recollection of her life, whatsoever."

"Not even her name?" Raf asked. 

"No. Nor does she remember being outside our base in the first place. I questioned her on the roof after Jack left and she told me her last recollection was from when she woke up in the medbay."

"Being strapped down on Ratchet's table must have startled her to be scared of us." Jack exclaimed. 

"Or this could be a decepticon or MECH trying to trick us. Stealing whatever information she can to stab us all in the backs." Bulkhead cried out. "I don't trust the femme."

"Nor do I." Arcee replied.

Beeps and buzzes echoed in the room.

"I will have to say I am with Bumblebee on this one. Until we know more information about her, I have decided to put her on lockdown. She will not be allowed to leave the base until further notice from me. While she is here she will be treated as a guest to try to win her trust, and if she proves to be trustworthy, we will move on from there."

"If she pulls any funny business, I am a phone call away from coming down here and taking her down to Bill." Agent Fowler replied. 

"If her memory recollection is really as bad as she says it is, I should do some scans to see how she is as far as her health goes. Besides, I still need to work on my knowledge as a medic on human health." Ratchet stated. 

"That doesn't mean you should treat her like your test subject though." Jack replied to Ratchet's statement. "If we must, I can have my mother come by a few times to work with you on learning more about the human body."

"I would be glad if you can run a few scans on her, but for right now we need to find where she may have run off to. I don't believe she could have gone far."

"I can go find her. Show her some of my guitar tunes. Maybe it will make her want to tell us the truth."

"Miko, I think it would be best if me and Bumblebee look around for her. If she really is traumatized, trying to scare her off won't do us any good in winning her over to our favor."

They watched as Fowler left the base before he turned to Bumblebee who nodded and headed toward the hallway on the other side of the mainroom. He took the one that she had gone down. When he walked down the hallway, he found Bumblebee hovering over the floor.

"Bumblebee, did you find the human?"

Beeps and buzzes sound.

"What do you mean she is unconscious? Let me take a look." Optimus crouched down as Bumblebee moved out of the way, to reveal her curled up and fast asleep on the floor. "We put her into shock. She is merely asleep, but for now we should let her rest. If she truly is who she says she is, she will need the rest to recover from everything that she has experienced in the last 48 hours." Optimus carefully picked her up in his hand as he and his scout headed back to the main room to find everyone was distracted till they saw them come into view.
