"Are you sure about this, Ghosha? I know that you want to prove yourself but is this the way to do it?" The sound of her voice made it clear that Liona was that  the femme did not want her friend to do this.

 "I have to. I figured out the change, and I’m not letting some innocent bot use it without being sure that it works! Not again!" Ghosha looked at her friend. The black/gray of Liona’s face showed how worried she was. This is not the smartest thing you have done Ghost bot baby. Adding a dark chip to  your circuit board is not a good idea at all. This last year she had flung herself into her work of finding new ways to keep track of the Decepticons. The year before her mate, Dowst, had died in testing one of her new gadgets. She never forgave herself. It would not happen again.

 "We could have gotten one of your assistants. I don’t  know what the hell I’m doing." Liona was a weapons teacher. That was one of the reasons that Ghosha had her here, Liona had no idea how dangerous this experiment was but would know when to call for help..

 "If I told one of my helpers they would tell Prime. He warned them that I would act like this after...I just can’t let it happen, not again!" She looked at her friend. She saw the disapproval in Liona’s optics but also the love and loyalty. Liona was in danger just being here for this experiment, and she knows it but would not go. "When the dark chip is placed in my circuitry, I don’t know waht I will act like. So I want you to press the button to turn the computer on and go to the observatory, if anything goes wrong just press the red button. It will alert anyone who is capable of handling me. Don’t argue. Just let me have the piece of mind that I did not hurt the only person that I really care about." Liona looked like she would argue. Then she looked like she was deciding her options, and nodded.

 She turnedand walked toward the observatory, then walked back to where Ghosha was standing. "You can’t die on me. You are my best friend and I will not lose you." Liona’s opticals filled with tears, "I love you." She whispered and walked to the observatory.

 When Ghosha heard the click of the door she laid herself down on the table and nodded to her friend. I have to do this. The cuffs slapped into place. The tests went fine. The cuffs locked into place. It will work! The robotics came to life. If it does not then I will join Dowst. Then her power was shut off and she fell into unconscienceness.

 Ghosha tried to sit up but fell back into the stasis bed. "Sir."
 "Ghosha, what were you thinking? A very dangerous experiment without your staff on hand." He shook his head knowing he would never get through to her. "I’m just glad you had the sense to have Liona there. If she didn’t call an emergency you would have joined the matrix. When we got a team to the lab there were sparks flying off your circuit board. Apparently your system tried to wipe out the dark chip. I should have known that something like this would happen if I put you in charge!"

 "I believe that is why you put me in charge, because I would try something new...Sir."
 "You’re right. And now it will cost you that job, you have been re-assigned." Prime could not meet her optics, knowing that her job was the most important thing to her since the accident. "Your new assignment is a spy bot. You will report to your new superiors where you will be briefed, after you recover. We will be using your new invention to form a party of spies of which you will be in. I will see you then."Ghosha shut her optics and heard Optimis shut the door behind himself as she drifted off to sleep but in the back of her mind something stirred, some thing that had never been there before. Something Decepticon.
