Sex Scene in this Chapter

When they returned to the base, Saphira was feeling very happy. She and Optimus arrived to find Wheeljack, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Breakdown playing Cybertronian basketball. They weren't using the lob ball like they had before, it was a new one Bulkhead made so it wouldn't cause damage and so it could bounce like a proper basketball. Saphira was highly amused by it, watching the four of the Cybertronians battle it out for a score while Miko was the referee and Knockout kept tabs on the score.

"Seems like we walk in on the game of the season," Saphira commented as Optimus lifted her from the floor as she sat in his palm. She glanced at Ratchet, he was working on something into his hand while talking to June and Will. Megatron was standing by them while Arcee was sitting next to Jack and Raf. "What is that in your hand, Ratchet?"

The medic turned his head, smiling at Saphira and Optimus as the commander approached him. "This..." He opened his hand, showing a large, cylinder shape cubicle. Inside were various wires that were exposed with both ends of the cubicle being uncovered. "This is a prototype energon crystal forming generator. I have not come up with a better name for it, but Knockout and I have been working on it. So far, with not much luck. This is the third prototype we have made, and it has potential to grow energon crystals. We haven't gotten the formula right yet. We know the elements needed to make them, just the creation process is what we haven't accomplished yet."

Saphira looked at the prototype with curiosity. "That's cool I honestly did not know you already made prototypes for that yet." She stared at it curiously before glancing at the medic's optics. "What about the new power source you have been working?"

Ratchet groaned a little with a grimace. "The idea of it was good, but it seems like it won't happen. But that is okay. We can generate our own power with the synthetic energon. Speaking of, Knockout and I are close to completing the synthetic energon formula so that we may consume it for ourselves. I think having that available will ease our minds about our energon stockpile."

Megatron nodded with glee. "I am pleased about the progress. They think the synthetic energon should be ready for consumption within a month. A great time. You'll be over four months along by then." She grinned at him, rubbing her stomach gently. "But whether it will be good by that time, we don't know yet."

Ratchet shrugged at the decepticon. "We will know. Though I don't plan to be the one to test it...not after what happened the last time I tried synthetic energon." He grimaced a little, that memory was an embarrassment to him, knowing that is what he had done while under the influence of the synthetic energon. "I think Bee offered to try this time, but...I will make that judgement when the time comes."

"I could just ask one of the vehicons to help," Megatron suggests. "I have no doubt that will prove to be just as useful as anyone here. Or even one of the insecticons."

The medic shook his head. "No thanks, Megatron. The last thing we need is for one of the insecticons to wreak havoc on this work. It is better for someone with a sound mind to take it. Even though it did turn me in an arrogant bot. Worse than you were."

The decepticon chuckled lightly at Ratchet, turning his head to June and Will who were listening. "I hope you intend on making sure that we remain accounted for if something goes wrong with the synthetic energon again, Agent Fowler."

The man simply smiled at him. "I suppose that would depend if the bot or con taking the synthetic energon is showing violent signs like Ratchet did." He glanced at Saphira and noticed a bag in Optimus's hand. "What's in that?"

"We found a lot of shells to bring home," Saphira responded happily. "Even if I don't use them for jewellery, I'll certainly make it a collection of shells to display them. Maybe even a picture using the shells." She chuckled softly as she told them about it. "We found a beach with lots of shells, and a beautiful sunset to watch." She glanced at Megatron with a grin. "Speaking of...I believe my birthday is not over yet. You and I have somewhere to be...after some food, white energon and a toilet trip."
