The Makers

New Knowledge

Now the Makers were really bored again. They literally had nothing to do now and they were more depressed than ever. They knew there was action somewhere else, but they didn't know what was happening because it was too far away to get a visual, so all they could do was watch as life signals went offline one by one. This was just sadness for them, so they didn't do that much. Now they were back to square one.
They were back in the Control Room, just lying around. There were no occasional clangs of falling metal this time so they were left in complete silence. They were doing this for a few centuries and they were starting to get irritated by it.

Just when they thought they were going to be stuck with this again, Galactus remembered something that made him feel like a the biggest complete idiot in all universes, "Hey guys, you know we could've used energy from the Zero Point Energy Field to run the ship, right?"

Having said this, they all groaned and facepalmed so hard that it looked like it would bruise and they all felt like the most stupidest creatures in every line of dimensions. When all the energy in the universe is put at absolute zero, there is still a ridiculously large amount of energy left and that's what is called the Zero Point Energy Field. The Zero Point Energy Field is literally everywhere in space, not just outer space, but the spaces where there is no matter taking up space, and has more energy than an entire cluster of stars!

"It's been forever of using stars and floating in space and we only remember this NOW?!" Galactron exclaimed in exasperation while getting up from the floor.

"It's a miracle we're still alive!" Galactica said, getting up from where she was lying which was on a table of buttons and switches.

"Ugh! Let's go make a generator," Galactia said, very annoyed at their stupidity.

Making an energy extraction device to get the Zero Point Energy was a simple task for them and that made them even more irritated. It didn't take long before they disassembled the large fuel tank, made a few adjustments to the intake of energy of the ship and replaced the fuel tank with a much smaller device, roughly the size of a toaster. They connected the device to the ship, switched it on and hovered back as the little machine hummed to life. It made a soothing humming sound and it glowed a dim aqua colour before the aqua colour became brighter and the ship roared to life with the lights becoming brighter and the engines revving up with life again. The light from the machine dimmed again, though according to the information the Makers were looking at the ship's energy was as at an all-time high. Quite satisfied, though still feeling quite stupid, the Makers made their way to the Control Room to set a course to one of the planets where their Transformers were taking refuge at. When the Makers got to the Control Room they looked at the many coordinates and tried to decide which one they should choose.

"How about this one?" Galactia suggested.

"Nah, there's no atmosphere around that planet," Galactus pointed out.

"This one seems more appealing," Galactica said pointing to one hologram of a planet.

"I don't know about you guys, but this one here looks very familiar," Galactron said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he pointed to another planet.

The rest of the siblings took one look at the planet Galactron was referring to and they all agreed and said in unison, "34R1H."

"What a very long time it's been seen we've seen that planet," Galactus said, shaking his head as he recalled their previous encounters with the planet.

"I really hoped we didn't have to see that planet again," Galactia said as she covered her face with her hands.

"Well, if the Autobots are taking refuge there then hopefully that means that there is no intelligent life on it this time," Galactron said carefully with a hint of worry. He looked to Galactica, "Right?"

"Checked, double-checked, triple checked, quadruple checked, still checking and nothing is showing up," Galactica stated as she turned to face the rest of them, scanners still working to check if there is life.

"As if we're going to believe these scans," Galactia said as she rolled her eyes.

"At least we're not sending something to the planet that would end all life on it, we're just seeing how the bots are doing," Galactica said with a shrug.

"Well, okay then," Galactron said with a shrug, "Computer, set course for 34R1H."

The Computer whirred and appeared on a huge screen and informed in the usual female robot voice, "Planet 34R1H no longer exists in the database."

The Makers blinked in wide eyed surprise.
"Well that's impossible, the planet is right there," Galactus pointed out sounding like he thought the Computer had a screw loose somewhere.

"The name of the planet has been changed to be known locally as Earth."

The Makers gave a confused look as they said in unison, "Earth?"

"Well, that proves that there's life on that planet," Galactus stated.

"That's really… weird," Galactia said, looking back at the scanners which still showed that there was no life on the planet.

"Umm, well set course to Earth then," Galactron said, still taken aback.

"And put the ship on Autopilot please, we'll be busy making adjustments," Galactica added, also still surprised with the new information.

The Computer did as it was told and soon the ship was out of its orbit around Cybertron. The Makers retreated to the Invention Room to make a few adjustments to their teleportation devices to use Zero Point Energy and as soon as that was done they set to work on improving the ship. They were very busy with making improvements, when they were improving one thing they decided to improve another and that led to them to pretty much change the ship up a bit, making it more homey. Once they were done with that, and that took quite a few decades, they had an idea and decided to try it out since they were a little bored. At least they kept themselves busy until they finally made it to planet Earth.
