My Crazy Robotic Family

Space Bridge

{The Next Morning}

Bumblebee arrived early this morning with Raph and Bulkhead with Miko, but I remember Arcee leaving base but she hasn't returned yet.

"Optimus, I've finally pinpointed the location to Megatron's space bridge, high in Earth's orbit." Ratchet said, defeated.

"Out of our reach." Optimus added.

"Okay, so you guys don't fly, but can't you just ground bridge there?" Miko asked.

"Miko, the ground bridge has a very limited range. If we tried to stretch that range all the way to orbit, the vortex could snap and scatter their molecules over galaxies." I explained.

"Since Megatron is most likely already in transit, I am afraid we must take that risk." Optimus said. "Reaching the space bridge first is our only means of stopping him." At that moment, Arcee and Jack rolled into base. I looked to Jack with a smile and he smiled back.

"Autobots, prepare for departure." Optimus ordered.

"Where to?" Arcee asked.

"The final frontier." Miko answered.

"Space? But I thought they didn't have any way to get there!" Jack said confused.

"They don't, not really." I replied, not even bothering to try and hide my fear.

"Optimus!" I yelled before he walked away. "Please be careful." I said quietly as he put a digit on my head.

"We always are, Jade. Take care of Ratchet." He replied.

"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans I will never forgive you." Ratchet said, not as joking as I would have thought. Optimus and I both chuckled.

"Until we meet again, old friend." Was Optimus's reply.

"Bee!" I yelled as he walked away from Raph. "Promise me you and the others will make it home in one piece, ok?" I told him.

"Haha, I promise, Jade. With my very spark." Bee replied and they all transformed and drove quickly through the ground bridge.

I quickly brought out my tablet and started checking everyone's vitals.

"They're vitals are stable, they seem to have made it to the ground bridge." I yell to the others.

"It seems the deceptions have received severe damage to their intergalactic navigation system." We could here Optimus say.

"Huh, that's my handwork." Bulk said, happily surprised.

"Great job Bulkhead, without the dish, the deceptions can not lock on to Cybertron's location."

"Don't the cons know where their own planet is?" Raph asked.

"Of course they do. Do you know where your house is, Raph?" I ask him and receive a nod. "Good, throw this wrench and make it hit the front door." I told him and handed him the wrench. He gave me a look and Ratchet explained:

"Cybertron is many lightyears a way, to reach their target their aim must be astronomically precise."

"If Megatron went to the trouble of rendezvousing with his space bridge, he must have an alternate targeting system." Optimus concluded. "A remote one.

"From what I know of Earth's technology, I doubt there exists a single radio telescope dish on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron." Ratchet replied.

"What about a bunch of small, linked telescope dishes?" Raph asked and started typing on his computer. "Like the giant size array in Texas!"

"Epp Epp Epp, this is not child's play!" Ratchet said to the four of us.
