The Help of a Single Spark 4

Optimus walked in and saw Ratchet working on what appeared to be a human cell phone.

"Good Morning Ratchet." Optimus stated.

"Good Morning Optimus. How was your recharge?" Ratchet replied.

"It went well. It looks as though you could do with a good bit of recharge yourself Ratchet. You've been hold up in your med bay for almost a human month now." Prime replied worriedly. He looked at Ratchet with concern noting how tired he was looking.

"I have too much to do Optimus . I have to finalize these documents on the Sector Seven experiments. In between that I have been trying to finalize Barricade's repairs. And then there is this little one." The Medic stated holding up the Nokia Cell phone. He passed the phone over to his leader.

Prime looked at Ratchet and with a nod from him started a scan on the phone. He looked up startled at what he found. He found the medic smiling at him.

"It's got a spark Ratchet!! How in Primus's name is that possible?" Optimus exclaimed.

"He was one of the last Sector Seven experiments. Those human bastards tried the cubes spark on just about every technology that they could get their hands on. Then when they had no more use for them they used a modify ray blast to deactivate them. Only it did not completely deactivate them it put them in a stasis lock, where without an adequate Energon supply they slow lost spark as there systems were not able to auto repair themselves. We were lucky and caught this one in time."

"How many experiments Ratchet?" He asked with a startling anger.

"At least a thousand if not more, I think some of them were not as well documented." The medic replied with a sad sigh "All of those sparks are lost to us now."

"We will find a way Ratchet. How are the repairs on Jazz coming along? I know he has taken a back seat to all of this and with good reason." The leader asked.

"Those repaired are going along well indeed. I was able to modify some of the earth technology to help complete them." Ratchet stated with pride.

"Good, hopefully soon the Allspark shard I found will come out of stasis and it will be able to pass spark and we can start to repair our world. When do you thing this little one will be able to wake up?" The leader inquired.

"Very soon Optimus I am attempting to modify our new Energon power output to fit the small amount this one requires. I have been attempting to do this to Barricade's system as well I want to do this before waking them to make sure that there are no complications to there awakening. After that I can get some rest." Ratchet stated with a satisfied sigh.

"What are you thinking its designation should be?" Prime asked

"I was thinking Byte. In human terms it is one unit of data. I think that with its small size and alternate mode it's a good fit." Ratchet replied.

"So you are thinking he will be more of a communications officer." Prime replied.

"We will see when he wakes. But I think it will be a part of his primary function." Ratchet answered.

"This is great news Ratchet. Three of our kind soon to be returned to us hopefully soon more will come." The Autobot leader stated. "Get some rest soon Ratchet, don't make me have to turn it into an order."

"You're becoming in human terms a Mother Hen, Optimus." Ratchet stated with a smile.

"Whatever it take to keep my people functioning well." Optimus replied and turned and left the med bay a big grin on his face.
