You know how things like talking or other noises sound muffled when your ears are just barely under the water? That is what I was hearing right now. The fact I was hearing anything at all though struck as the horrid realization of that I just died and maybe this was the beginning of the afterlife I was listening to... not quite in focus yet because it took awhile for the soul to transition over. That made sense to me. What didn't was I saw nothing but blackness now. The light had gone after a time. The sensation of pain had gone when that light came into being and remained nothing more than a very bad memory. Slowly the voices gained a little clarity. The clearer it got, the more I realized it wasn't English, but that mechanical language of those beings that had me as their guest. As it got even clearer, I then became astonished that I could understand what was being said.
"… she should be awake." Ratchet said.
"You sure you hooked up everything right? Maybe we missed something in our rush?" asked Wheeljack.
"Would you stay still please!" came the overly loud shout to my right from Grapple.
"Not my fault you don't know how to handle a transformation cog with one hand." snapped back mystery voice.
My vision came up so fast I wasn't even aware I had opened my eyes. Wait a damn minute… why wasn't I… oh there it is… whew... for a second there thought I wasn't breathing. Hmm heart seems to be having an odd cadence there. Damn where did these guys get human drugs to kill off pain so thoroughly. This went through my head so fast it should have made my mind spin as Ratchet's smiling face crept into my vision.
"I'd say she's awake now. Now we need you to take it nice and easy okay? This is going to be very strange to you for awhile." he said.
I found that such an odd statement that I smiled and replied, "Says the guy that.." I verbally froze as the voice that I heard coming out of my mouth did NOT sound like my own. Ratchet patted me somewhere… and that location made it even more confusing than my voice being off as my mind told me he just patted me on my hood. The sexual connotations for a hood on a female human aside, it didn't make any logical sense until he spoke again.
"Says your medic, that's who. Now you stay put while we do some tests okay?" he asked.
I just mm hmmed as I tried to figure things out. Mystery voice though broke my chain of thought quickly, "Good to know what I did saved her."
"And you could have killed yourself in the process." Grapple pointed out, "Okay try transforming now."
There was a transformation sequence off to my right that seemed to freeze up a moment, then continue. "Okay that could have gone so much better." quipped mystery voice.
"What do you mean you saved me?" I asked, butting in since the medics were scanning me and looking at the readings.
I couldn't see him, since he was outside of my vision thanks to the hovering medics, but mystery voice explained. "Well you were shot and closed your optics on me. Your ventilations were getting shallow and labored. I figured you'd be going to the Well if I didn't do something. So I transformed and opened my spark chamber, broke off a small piece and put it in the hole in your chest. Then I leaned over you and let my spark infuse the piece until the medics showed up and starting yelling."
"Could have killed yourself breaking off that piece like that and you know it." Grapple huffed.
Ratchet pitched in, "Not to mention our guest here could have died from the spark energy exposure. Carbon life forms and silicon ones were probably never meant to interact on such a level."
"And yet there she is… in that… tank of a car…" mystery voice commented.
"Woah… hold up now…" I interjected, "What do you mean IN?"
Wheeljack sighed off to my left then stood in front of me. "Transform and find out."
Something in my mind responded to that command. The utterly alien sensation of gears churning and parts moving crossed my mind as well as entered my hearing. The ground lurched from about four feet off the ground to somewhere around 20 some feet. There was a series of gasps from the gathered group. The reality of this was soon replaced by the fact that not only was I seeing things from a new perspective… that it sounded like the transformation sequence came from me… and as I moved my hands up to look at them… the full realization hit me what IN truly meant. I was shocked, stunned, surprised, and bewildered. When I looked away from my hands, turning my head to look toward the medics… that was then the horror of why I was IN came into view. There was a lurch inside my body, then another, then finally I expelled what looked like some sort of glowing liquid out of my mouth. Then I ran. Transforming just as I hit the door jam and I didn't look back or stop despite the yells for me to halt and come back.
--
Some hours later.
The gentle lapping of ocean waves had been my solace for some time now. I sat there, arms looped around my knees, gazing off into the darkness that was only pierced by the moon light playing on the wave action. I had long since ignored the traffic behind me on a roadway perhaps a mile back. The soft rumble of an engine turned off perhaps 20 feet behind me.
"How did I know I would find you here." said mystery voice. I transformed into vehicle form, engine roaring to life. His reaction was immediate as his engine purred back to life as he said, "You can run all you want, but eventually you gotta come back to the ship. If you don't then you'll run out of energy and die."
I rolled my front tires into the ocean waves. "I should be dead anyway so what difference does it make. You guys didn't have the right to play God!"
I sensed him rolling up beside me, then even further into the water. "Hey now, I've been there remember? Was nothing more than a shell of my former self... a collection of boxes in a frigging storage closet for Primus sake. Don't you think I had those very same thoughts of how I should be dead and how could they keep me alive?"
I pulled up some more until all four tires were in the water. "It's not the same. To them you are a warrior they needed, who already has the experience and training needed to survive battles. But me… what in the name of Jesus were they thinking… a human in a body of one of you? I'm no warrior. I don't have that battle experience and training. Why even bother?"
There was silence for a moment as he pulled way out in front of me and then transformed into what I quickly identified as a submarine. He bobbed there, then softly he answered, "Because there are greater things in store for you."
I snorted, "God that sounds so utterly contrived."
"It's the truth." came the murmured response from him.
"Oh yeah, and who's truth is it huh?" I asked, backing out of the water now.
"You know that tiny whisper of a voice that you can hear if only you chose to listen to it? That's whose truth I speak of and despite the fact that I questioned it for about two seconds, I still did what I had to do to keep you alive so the docs could transfer into the form you have now."
"Right. You tore off a piece of that thing you called a spark and put it inside me. Then infused me with it. So I guess I should thank you and I still don't know your name." I huffed.
He laughed softly, "Still don't know yours."
"Touché." I murmured, sighing as I backed away then put myself into park. "Go play in the water for awhile, maybe I'll have an answer to my name when you get back."
"Gonna be here when I get back then?" he asked.
"Like you said, I have to go back to base eventually. May as well go back with an escort." I replied.
He hmmed and stated, "See you in a bit then." then he dove under the waves.
Some time passed and I swear I saw a shark fin cruise by a couple times and then head straight for the beach. But as it got closer I could see more than just a fin, in fact that fin was attached to a head and eventually to a figure heading toward me in the moonlight.
"So got a name?" he asked. That was mystery voice all right as his light green optical band looked down toward me.
"I think so, yes. There's a song I rather like and it seems to fit, but I think I'd like to bounce it off you first. How does Barracuda sound?" I inquired.
There was a soft chuckle from him as he transformed into his vehicle form and flipped his head lamps around as they flickered on, "I'd say it's a good compliment to the name I have chosen. Call me Shark."
I snickered softly, "I think you putting your spark in me like you did influenced me, so I'm so blaming you for my inspired name."
He murmured, "Wouldn't have it any other way, let's roll. I already radioed in that I found you and we'd be heading back."
The drive was a long one, but we passed it with conversation as I questioned him about what I should expect now that I was one of his species. Suffice it to say we were greeted at the ship's entrance by most of the crew.
"Good to see you back, I understand that you chosen a new name for yourself." Optimus Prime said as we both transformed before him.
I gave a little nod, "Yes I have… I suppose the medics want to make sure that everything is functioning in this new body of mine as it should be?"
"They would, when they are not occupied with the remaining wounded." he reached out to snag Shark by the shoulder who was making an attempt to sneak inside unnoticed, "As for you, good work finding her. I'd like to ask you to be her guide when it comes to our species. Think you can handle that sort of responsibility?"
Shark gave him a smile that had a hint of pointy teeth to it, "Already handled, so consider it my honor sir."
Optimus nodded, "Good to hear it." then he looked toward the others, "Everyone back inside, we got work to do." As the group slowly headed inside, he looked back toward me. "If you would come with me?"
I nodded, "Of course." I followed him down the hallways until he stopped at a door and pressed his hand to the keypad.
"This will be your quarters. You can decorate it as you see fit. I'll arrange for you to get a computer and data pad so you'll be able to read up on our culture and everything else you'd ever want to know about our species." Optimus stated.
I stepped inside the room and looked around as the lights came on. "Thank you."
He explained how to turn the lights on and off, as well as dim or brighten them. He showed me how the recharge berth worked and explained what it was for as well as how long I should typically rest upon it to get an adequate recharge in. He briefly went over what to pay attention to if I got a notice from my neural net about certain things like needing to refuel or having some sort of mechanical issue. Then he told me where I could find the energon dispensers as well as the rec room of the ship.
"I think that shall cover it for now until Shark can give you a more thorough tour of the ship. For now, why don't you get a recharge cycle in while you are waiting for the medics to have time to do your check up." Optimus suggested.
I smiled a bit, "Sounds like a good idea to me. Thank you."
He nodded and departed the room. I programmed the recharge berth and then sat down, commanded the lights to dim down to about 10% of normal light, then lay down and stared up at the ceiling.
