Alia's Diary

Chapter 2 (( Part 1 ))

{ The Big Bang  }

After a good long night of sleep, Alia and Sidewire got ready for work. However, they were working separately.

Sidewire became Ambulon's assistant, helping organize data-pads and stuff. As for Alia, she got to be Pharma's new right-hand nurse, except she was mostly cleaning up energon-blood or lubricant-vomit off the floors and bringing energon-coffee to the doctor.

But, on other days, she talked to the patients while Pharma was treating their illness or injuries. Basically, she was distracting the patient, to help them not focus on the pain. And honestly, she likes to talk to people, 'cause it was so much better than cleaning the floors.

Everything was good until Alia started to notice Pharma suspiciously leaving without saying where he was going. He only told her that in case First Aid or Ambulon were looking for him she has to tell them he's busy. This started to make her very curious when the doctor kept repeatedly leave.

And then, one day, two Genericons came to the facility. Banging on the door and begging for it to open.

"Let us in! Please!" said Sonic.

"We surrender! Just open up!" said Boom, Sonic's brother.

Sidewire and Ambulon heard the Genericons' plea for help and open the door. The two 'cons quickly ran inside, relief to be alive. However, First Aid soon noticed the mechs' decepticon badge symbols and approached them.

"Hold it right there!" said First Aid.

The nurse mech asks the Genericons questions and they tell him they were attacked by the D.J.D.

They want refuge until the coast was clear. But, Pharma hears what's going on and was not happy at all. He was about to force the 'cons back outside until Ambulon stopped him.

"They're weaponless— And clearly traumatized. What are you afraid of? You think they're gonna whimper us to death?" said Ambulon.

"What about their alt modes?" First Aid asked.

"First Aid's right. For all we know they could turn into class 3 ruination tanks." said Pharma.

"What's a ruination tank???" Sidewire asked, confused.

"A really HUGE military tank that can take down a whole building in one blast." First Aid replied.

"Whoa! Sounds bigger than Earth's army tanks." said Alia.

"Indeed." said Pharma.

The Genericons overheard the conversation and told the group that they don't have alt modes. They claim that they're members of Triple M and they got old surgery scars to prove it.

Ambulon takes a look at the scars on the side of the Genericons' torsos where the T-Cogs are supposed to be in. And sure enough, he sees the 'cons weren't lying.

"Yeah, textbook extraction." said Ambulon.

Pharma looks at his scanner's readings. "The scanner agrees with you. The whole transformation cog has been cut out." said Pharma, a little shocked.

"Is that good or bad?" Alia asked.

"Well, it's good news for us. But I still don't trust them." Pharma replied with a serious tone in his voice.

"For pity's sake, Pharma... They're not carrying anything and they can't turn into anything..." said Ambulon.

Pharma growled in annoyance, and then he spoke. "Alright— You and First Aid lock 'em up while I prepare the circuit slabs. Just a patch-up job, though— Enough to satisfy article 7— And then we ask high command what to do with them." Pharma said before leaving.

"So, what will Alia and I do?" Sidewire asked.

"You two can head on back to your habitation suite. You've earned a break for today." Ambulon replied.

Alia watched Pharma leave, curious about where he's been lately.
