Child of the Allspark (Transformers Prime)

Darkness Rising Pt. 5

"It appears the Decepticons have sustained serious damage to their interstellar navigation system,"

"Ah, that's my handiwork," Bulkhead said

"Great job, Bulkhead. Without the dish, Megatron will be unable to aim the space bridge at Cybertron,"

"Don't the Decepticons know where their own planet is?" Raf asked

"Naturally," Ratchet said

"But Cybertron is many light-years away. To reach their target, their aim must be astronomically precise," I explained

"If Megatron went to the trouble to rendezvousing with his space bridge, he must have an alternate targeting system, a remote one," Optimus explained

Ratchet scoffed "From what I know of Earth's technology, I doubt there exists a single radio-telescope dish on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron,"

"What about a whole bunch of linked radio-telescope dishes," I noted

"Like the giant-size array in Texas?" Raf finished

"Zip buh buh buh buh!" Ratchet told us

"He doesn't like it when I'm right," I explained crossing my arms with a smirk

"This is not child's play,"

"Good thinking, Pixel and Raf," Optimus praised.

I high-fived Raf.

"Ratchet, have Agent Fowler alert the array staff to the security hazard," Optimus ordered

"You, soldier!" Agent Fowler exclaimed causing us to look over at him "You're out of uniform! Put on some pants," he fell backward onto the cot.

"Thank goodness for security cameras." I laughed

Ratchet cleared his throat causing me to stop "That may be a challenge."

I rolled a chair to my laptop and began hacking into the array "I can't get past the Array's firewalls,"

"They're too thick," Raf agreed

"You actually think you could keep the Decepticons out?" Ratchet questioned

I rolled my eyes "Hi, have we met before...my name's Pixel, I hacked Sector 7 in order to delete the records I ever existed..."

"But failed," Ratchet noted

"Besides the point!" I exclaimed "But with Raf's help. We might be able to. If we could get in,"

"Uh, wait, wait, wait." Jack interrupted "Pixel, what if we could get you and Raf all the way in, like inside-the-building in?"

"Look at you Jack Darby, taking a ride on the wild side," I smirked

"We could log into their internal network on the other side of the firewall," Raf explained

"The risk is too great. The Decepticons will be there, perhaps even on site," Optimus argued

"Optimus, with all due respect I've been training for stuff like this ever since Bumblebee got me out of Sector 7, now it's my turn to do my part,"

"And you said it yourself. This is bigger than the safety of three humans," Jack added.

"Yeah," Miko agreed "If we let the 'cons win, we are fragged along with everyone else on our planet,"

"Raf?" Optimus asked

"With Pixel's help...I want to give it a shot," Raf said

I went over to my computer and inputted the coordinates into the ground bridge.
