Everyone managed to check in on Teletraan to see how he was doing. It felt like a long half-hour for everyone. Maria\u2026was a little on edge. \u201cSo\u2026they\u2019re from a planet of naturally-occurring robots?\u201d she asked Shadow as she saw the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYep,\u201d replied Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd\u2026this is new to them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUh huh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Huh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Maria, what is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShadow, how can this appear normal to you?! I was dead for 50 years, you were eaten up by revenge for a bit, then you fought the Black Arms, you joined G.U.N. after that, then you get caught up in all sorts of shenanigans that frequently pit you against my cousin, now calling himself Dr. Eggman (even though I\u2019m sure his degree was revoked a long time ago), then robots that can think and feel like a biological organism land here, then you get caught up in their second civil war, then you tell me that you helped banish their version of the devil and met the actual creator of this planet, and, just to really put icing on the cake, characters from our stories come to life and we had to save one another\u2019s butts, and I was resurrected by Morgane Le Fay herself and put into a Mobian body similar to yours, and now we\u2019re going to space and our Autobot friends\u2019 A.I. is raising an offspring within the span of 30 minutes!\u201d Maria then started panting, her stress clear on her face. Shadow said nothing as Maria spoke, he felt it would be rude of him to interrupt. A few seconds after she was finished, he gave her a reassuring hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a lot to take in,\u201d he soothed. \u201cI promise you though, I WILL help you through this.\u201d Maria steadied her breathing after Shadow\u2019s reassurance. They stayed in that position for a long time. Just then, a call rang throughout the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone, Teletraan\u2019s back!\u201d announced the caller, Scattershot. \u201cHe wants us all to be in the command center to reveal his kid!\u201d Shadow looked to Maria with a look of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine now, Shadow,\u201d she assured him. \u201cI guess I just needed to rant a bit. Let\u2019s go see Teletraan\u2019s kid.\u201d They joined everyone else in the command center to see Teletraan\u2019s avatar on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone, thanks for checking in with me and my kid,\u201d he began. \u201cIt helped me know that I wasn\u2019t raising them alone. Now, thanks to the wonders of modern computation, a program developed on its own from my own code. Would you like to see her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo it\u2019s a girl A.I.?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBingo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen let\u2019s see her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone, presenting the daughter of Teletraan 1, the newest Tactical Artificial Intelligence!\u201d A human woman dressed in a maroon Japanese Policewoman\u2019s outfit appeared next to Teletraan\u2019s avatar. Her hat had the Autobot symbol set over a gold background and she wore a set of headphones modeled to look like siren lights with a microphone on the left side. Her eyes were dark lavender, and she had brown hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello, everyone!\u201d greeted the woman. \u201cI am the Tactical Artificial Intelligence, but you can call me T-AI!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood to finally meet you, T-AI,\u201d returned Optimus. \u201cI\u2019m Optimus Prime, these are my bots and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood to meet you all!\u201d cheered T-AI. \u201cI\u2019m eager to be put through my paces as I coordinate planetary action for those staying behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re sure about this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDad and I already had a few discussions about this, and I\u2019m sure. I\u2019ll monitor Mobius for any and all threats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSplendid! I can\u2019t wait to see how you handle the planet in Teletraan\u2019s absence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, she can handle it just fine,\u201d replied Teletraan. \u201cShe\u2019s the daughter of a genius, snarky A.I.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The time to leave finally came the next day. The ones staying behind were the Technobots, Cosmos, Blaster, the Round Table Knights, Guinevere, Merlin, Aleena, Team Chaotix, Omega, Big, Cream, Vanilla, and Topaz. The ones going to space were divided up as followed; Arcee, Blackarachnia, Goldbug, Jazz, Optimus Prime, Perceptor, Ratchet, Sparkplug, Stormfront, Yoketron, Natalie, Shahra, Sira, and Trema were going on the Ark<\/em> with Optimus in charge, Cliffjumper, Dust Up, Jumpstream, Pyra Magna, Rust Dust, Skyburst, Stormclash, Strongarm, Windblade, Alexis, Amy, Cosmo, Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails would board the Blue Typhoon<\/em> with Tails in command, and the crew of the Fang<\/em> would consist of Grimlock, Slag, Slash, Sludge, Snarl, Swoop, Maria, Rouge, and Shadow with Grimlock as Captain. The Decepticons had already left a day ahead of them, so the time to go was NOW. Optimus and those going to space faced those staying behind and said a few goodbyes. \u201cBlaster, you take care of these crazy kids,\u201d directed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, Sir!\u201d replied Blaster. \u201cMobius will be exactly as you left it, Sir!\u201d Sonic then spoke to Aleena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll be back as soon as I can,\u201d he promised. \u201cI\u2019ll have a lot to tell you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPlease, make sure you take care of yourself,\u201d urged Aleena. Amy then talked to Cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I come back, do you want to start your magic training?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, please!\u201d answered the young rabbit. Teletraan spoke to T-AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, you be good for them,\u201d he remarked. \u201cMake sure you scan for viruses daily, keep the VPN up to date, don\u2019t let any dangerous programs into your systems-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaaad!\u201d groaned T-AI. \u201cI can take care of myself! I\u2019m a grown woman!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI know, but I can\u2019t help but worry.\u201d He then hugged T-AI. \u201cI\u2019ll come back, sweetie, I promise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll miss you, Daddy.\u201d Alexis and Topaz then said their goodbyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou keep Team Dark in line, you hear?\u201d ordered Topaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnderstood, Ma\u2019am,\u201d answered Alexis as she saluted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd come back alive, I won\u2019t have G.U.N. lose you OR Shadow and Rouge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe will, Ma\u2019am, I promise.\u201d Merlin and Sira were the last people to say their goodbyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMerlin, I trust you can handle the Erazor Djinn?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cQuite easily,\u201d assured the wizard. \u201cNow, since he\u2019s been freed from service, he can\u2019t be bound again, but I have a variety of weapons at my disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPerfect. Oh, tell me how Lancelot and Guinevere\u2019s wedding goes, will you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI shall, indeed. Good luck, Sira Mayworth.\u201d Sira bowed and joined everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEverything\u2019s ready,\u201d reported Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeam us up,\u201d replied Optimus. Everyone was taken up in the transporter beams and placed in their respective ships. They all reported ready to go. It would take a while for the Warp Field Drivers to get to speed, so Blackarachnia decided to see Optimus have just a little fun with the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTeletraan, play the instrumental version of the first Star Trek<\/em> opening,\u201d she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d asked Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI want to hear someone say \u2018to boldly go\u2019 and Optimus is a fan of the show, so\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGo ahead, Teletraan,\u201d urged Optimus. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to say it.\u201d Teletraan smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPlaying music,\u201d he reported. The familiar opening notes of the first Star Trek<\/em> opening then played on the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Space, the final frontier!\u201d began Optimus. \u201cThese are the voyages of the starships Ark<\/em>, Blue Typhoon<\/em>, and Fang<\/em>. Their ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWarp Field Drivers ready!\u201d called Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTake us out!\u201d The ships adjusted their headings, the engines spun to life, then they all sped away from Mobius at speeds one can only dream of! Their journey across the stars has begun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone managed to check in on Teletraan to see how he was doing.
