The Autobot Academy :Chap1:

After a few megacycles of flying, the three reached the main Autobot HQ.

"Well well, look what the organic dragged in," some other bot snickered, speaking of the three. A few bots saw them walk in and backed up slowly, steering clear of their path.

Sigourney shot him a harsh glare, but said nothing. After all, they became good at ignoring the remarks of others, as most Cybertronians thought badly or feared organics; or even techno-organic 'freaks' like them.

A short, red Cybertronian greeted the three. "Agent Shriekatron, Sigourney, Windchaser," he said, "back from your mission?"

"Indeed, Cliffjumper," Shriekatron said, "where's Ultra Magnus? I need to speak with him."

Cliffjumper nodded and came out from behind his desk, "alright, follow me."

After a few cycles of walking, Cliffjumper came to a set of double-doors and put his servo onto a pad beside the door, which scanned it, then opened up. A tall, 'muscular'-appearing, dark and light blue Cybertronian looked up from his work, "Agent Cliffjumper, what is it?"

Cliffjumper stood straight and saluted, "Agent Shriekatron and his Sparkmate have returned, along with Sigourney. They would like to speak with you for a nano-klick."

Ultra Magnus nodded, "you're dismissed," he said. Cliffjumper walked away as the three walked in. "Take a seat, the three of you," Ultra Magnus said, then diverted his attention to Shriekatron as the door closed and locked itself. "Shriekatron, what do you have to report?"

"Victars is perfectly safe for Autobots," Shriekatron said as he handed Ultra Magnus a few small cubes, each one having some sort of organic matter in it, looking more like plants. The commander picked one up, a plant with an unusual green colour and bright blue, like a Cybertronian's optic. "Hmmm, unusual," Magnus noted, then put it down, "anything else to report? Anything interesting?"

"Well, other than the planet is made up of sentient plants, some being techno-organic, unlike other planets we were on, nothing, however, Sigourney would like to speak with you about something." Shriekatron replied, Sigourney shot her head up there and then alertly. "What? Oh, right! S-sorry... I spaced out for a moment."

Ultra Magnus nodded, then directed his attention to Sigourney, "what is it you'd like to talk to me about?" He asked. "Well, first, could I speak with you alone?" She asked. Windchaser and Shriekatron looked at eachother, then at Ultra Magnus. He nodded. The dragon and bird transformers left the room. Sigourney watched as they did, then turned her attention to Ultra Magnus.

"So, what did you want to tell me?" Ultra Magnus asked Sigourney. Sigourney gulped a bit nervously, almost scared to ask, but didn't show it, "I want to enroll at the Autobot Academy."

Magnus raised an eyebrow in interest. "A Sparkling of two scientists wanting to become an Elite Guard? That is your goal, correct?"

Sigourney nodded. "Basically," she said. Ultra Magnus thought for a moment, "well, the academy is accepting new recruits right now… Alright, but, you must do one thing for me."

"What is it?" Sigourney questioned.

"In the future, if I ever send you to another planet, whatever the reason, take notes on the planet, everything about it; the life forms, plant life, the environment in general, everything. Understand?" The commander said. Sigourney nodded. 'Ugh… more scientist work?' The femme thought, but instead, responded with, "you have my word."

Ultra Magnus nodded. "Alright then, Sigourney," he said, "I will arrange for it. It may be a few sollarcycles though."

"Fine by me," Sigourney said, nodding.

Ultra Magnus put two fingers on his temple and spoke through his comlink, "Agent Windchaser, agent Shriekatron, you may come back."

"Sir, yes sir," both said in unison from not far away. In about one cycle, both walked in. "You three are dismissed. Sigourney, keep your communicator online, I'll contact you when it has been arranged."

Sigourney saluted Ultra Magnus, "yes sir," she said. Magnus nodded at her as the three turned and left.

"So, what did he say?" Shriekatron asked Sigourney. "He said it can be arranged," Sigourney said flatly. She was actually quite excited and yet nervous about this, but kept it to herself.

"That's great!" Windchaser said as the three were about to leave, "my little sparkling going to the Autobot Academy…"

"Mother…" Sigourney groaned slightly, facepalming, "do you really have to-"

"Yes, I do," Windchaser said, patting her daughter's back just above and between her wings, "now let's get going." She said, stretching out her bird-like wings and flying off. Shriekatron transformed into a dragon and flew off. Sigourney sighed, stretched her wings, then flew off after them. Looks like her lifecycle was about to take a sudden yet exciting turn...
