Transformers Prime: The Calm before the Storm

Chp 17: As recompense for nearly drowning

~ 10:14 pm ~

This wasn't supposed to happen.

Fire crackled inside the warehouse that was once there laboratory holding there Project.

Everything went so wrong, so quickly.

An iron beam fell from above, trapping a soilder from escape.

They wanted an unstoppable soilder. That's what they got.

~ 3 hours earlier from the incident. 7:02 pm ~

Agent Novo overlooked there handy work, they had successfully built a robotic body to transfer a human mind into.

It didn't look like most of the other 'Cybertronians' as they called themselves.

Unlike Project Chimera this robot did not require the needs to transform.

It was a bulky machine, built for strength and durability more than speed. It's armor was the thickest most durable metal MECH could find.

And guess who is going to be the lucky human to experience being in an almost immortal body.

This Agent right here that's who.

Since he was the one who obtained the schematics for the Neuron Refractor, Silas gave him the honor of assigning him to Project Mechanoid.

Novo laid upon the cold metal bed, waiting for the other scientists to get ready for the transfer. Many of them were checking the cables making sure everything was functioning properly.

And then one scientist came over and hooked him up to many life support monitors, they wanted to make sure his human body was in good condition even when he left it. Just in case he had to return to it.

The scientist looked up from his clipboard. "Your all good to go sir. Good luck!" was what he said before he left.

He sighed at that comment. 'Good luck? Luck has nothing to do with transferring your very mind into a machine. There were only statistics here.' he thought.

Novo looked at the robot that was a few feet away from him. A lifeless husk now held up by large cables but soon he'd be inhabiting it. Soon that would be him.

"Sir?" a scientist from the controls called out to him.

He turned his head to them, waiting for what they were about to say.

"Were ready for the procedure to begin. Are you ready Agent Novo?"

Novo nodded.

The scientist pressed a red button, a loud hum of power surged to one of the lasers above Novo.

The laser shot a light bluish light at Novo engulfing him in that same blue light.

Novo's eyes widened in pain. Everything in his body burned. It felt like he was slowly melting into nothing.

He hadn't noticed he started screaming.

The machine monitoring his heart beeped repeatedly, his heart rate was rising.

Even as he screamed in utter pain, the other soilders ignored him. The procedure was of the utmost importance, he knew the risks now he had to deal with them.

After a few moments the laser on the Neuron Refractor itself was charging up sending a blue light right at the robot.

Novo's body started to arch as he screamed, he could feel himself slipping away.

Some soilders tried to hold Novo's body down but the spasms grew more frequent by the minute.

The robot's eyes started to glow a dim blue, the light would vanish every now and then.
