When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Azura was shivering as she stared up at the console. Hearing the voice from this Silas speaking to Fowler through the radio was extremely unnerving. Azura did not know who this Silas was, bit the only thing that she did know was that Silas was not a good person. He is dangerous, and she had a very bad feeling about all of this. She knew Optimus would not go out of his way to harm a human, but he will defend himself if needed. Azura couldn't help but feel ripples of fear, and this caused the weather outside the base to turn grey as clouds gathered in preparation to rain.

"This man is talking complete nonsense!" Miko had her hands on her hips as she frowned, thinking about what the man had said. "The new world order? Pfft! That's just stupid!"

"I wouldn't make light of this, Miko. A rogue organization is dangerous, regardless of what they say. We should not be so quick to push Mech aside because of the choice of words that have been said." Jack was a bit annoyed that Miko seemed to think that way, but he himself wasn't going to make light of Mech's intentions. "If they happen to find out about the autobots, they could end up being a problem."

"I am in agreement with you, Jack. This will be the first time that we have encountered such humans, but when we first arrived on Earth and met with Fowler, he did warn us that this could happen. Though I guess with the recent decepticon activity, I can understand why he would think it was the cons shooting him down. But I at least I already knew that Starscream would have no interest in such a device." Ratchet looked at Azura. He could see she was shivering and holding the toy tightly. Her focus was on what was happening now. He glanced to the side as the system detected a sudden weather change and he looked at Azura. "Try not to affect the weather too much, Azura. There's a bit of rain happening outside, and it was meant to be clear today."

Azura looked at him with a surprised frown and looked back at the screen. "I...I just thought that the desert could use a little water." Ratchet rolled his optics in amusement. "Besides...it is only a shower, not a storm. I will make sure it won't be that bad."

"I had no idea you could influence the weather even while underground," Jack said as he stared at her in surprise. "And that it can be influenced based on your emotions...which is kind of bad come to think about it..."

"It isn't as bad as it was before. I had a lot less control over my emotions and the weather many years ago...it is better now...but I guess I still need more training." Azura stared at the screen before she looked at Ratchet. "Is there not a way for us to see what they are seeing? I feel...I don't know, I don't like not seeing what they are seeing."

"I am afraid not, Azura. Besides...I get the feeling it is best that you do not see." She frowned as she disagreed, though she did not argue with Ratchet. "I get it, we are only left with the signals on the screen with the map of the road they are travelling on, and our imagination for the rest. It can be stressful at times, but it is best you don't see everything, Azura."

Azura still disagreed. She has already experienced what it is like to be in a fight between autobots and decepticons, considering the first time she met both was when the cons attacked the bus she had tried to leave on seven years ago. She knew that she might like what she would see, but it was better than her imagination. It actually made her feel a lot more stressed and upset. She at least knew that the bots were still travelling along the road, but she worried they might be stalled in a fight.

"So, Si..." She flinched when she heard Fowler speak as he spoke with Silas. "You think Mech has all the most radical tech?" Azura had absolutely no idea what Fowler meant with his words to Silas.

She whimpered a little as she stood up from where she was sitting and turned to Ratchet, holding out her arms to him. Ratchet smiled at her and picked her up. "I know, I know, it is stressing you out." He brought her to his chassis to cradle her against him. "But it will be alright. I will keep you calm while Optimus deals with this issue."
