#608 - Chapter 45 Activating the Natural Enemy (Part 2)

They walked along the road, talking about Sam's encounter today.

Sam: "At the company today, an Asian engineer recognized me and gave me some information, asking me to remind you. He only mentioned the 'Shadow of the Moon,' but he was killed by the Decepticons shortly after."

William flipped through the information Sam brought back, most of which were clippings, some from fifty years ago. He said in confusion, "Then why would the Decepticons kill these people?"

Sam: "How would I know? I thought the Decepticons' only enemies were the Autobots."

"Hey! What are you doing? This is a restricted area," Charlotte walked over and questioned them impolitely.

William: "Director Mearing, this is Sam Witwicky..."

Charlotte: "I know who he is, just a civilian. What I want to know is why they are here? And who allowed them in? Who is this girl? And this Asian... have they been cleared?"

Sam: "Who are you? I'm here to find my car. Why do Mr. Liu and my girlfriend need to report to you?"

William: "This is Director Charlotte Mearing, head of National Intelligence."

Charlotte: "Seeing as you're still young, I won't pursue you for contempt of a federal officer. Just know that I'm in charge here..."

Sam: "I almost had my head chopped off by a Decepticon today and obtained important intelligence, of course I want to share it with my Autobot friends."

Seeing that the situation was a bit stiff, William quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Just today, a senior technician at Sam's company was killed. He had participated in NASA's lunar mapping project. Before he died, he managed to hand over some things to Sam, and soon after, the Decepticons began attacking Sam, even appearing openly at the company."

Charlotte took the materials, flipped through them a few times, and handed them to her assistant: "Okay, Colonel Lennox, we can't entrust national security to civilians. Especially these young people. If you leak things from here, I'll lock you up for life. And you... understood?" Then she turned to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan spread his hands: "That's a bit difficult, Ms. Mearing. I'm afraid you can't control me. I was invited here."

Charlotte looked over, and William introduced: "This is Mr. Liu Yuan, an old friend of ours, who has participated in two Decepticon invasion events. The key item to revive Sentinel Prime was provided by him."

Charlotte gave him a deep look: "I hope Mr. Liu enjoys his time here. I'll take my leave first."

Sam gave a thumbs up: "You're the only one who can make that old woman eat crow."

Liu Yuan: "Shhh, I've heard of her. She's Simmons' old flame, you should be a little more polite."

In a spacious room, Sentinel Prime was placed on a repair platform, with Ratchet and Wheeljack continuing to tinker with the instruments next to him. All the humans stood at a distance to prevent being accidentally injured if something happened.

Carly: "What are they doing?"

Liu Yuan: "It's a bit complicated to explain, just think of that robot as having run out of battery, and they're replacing it."

Mudflap and Skids stepped forward with two small boxes and, following Ratchet's instructions, placed the energy blocks flashing with silver-blue light into the instruments.

"Alright, let's begin," Ratchet checked the instruments and started them up. After the machine started running, it emitted a buzzing roar. He gestured to Optimus Prime.

"Sentinel Prime, former leader of the Autobots, we welcome your return!" Optimus Prime grabbed a nearby plug and pressed it against Sentinel Prime's chest. The azure blue light illuminated the entire room, and Sentinel Prime's body began to twitch. "Bang~ Bang!" The metal frames used to secure his limbs snapped in the violent struggle, and a piece of metal shrapnel pierced deeply into the reinforced glass of the observation room.

Sentinel Prime's electronic eyes lit up. As his consciousness returned, his first reaction was to pounce on Optimus Prime in front of him, press him hard to the ground, and shout loudly: "Revenge, you damn Decepticons! No fair..." The metal battle blade extending from his arm was already stabbing at Optimus Prime's head, and with just a little more force, it could split him in two.

The surrounding Autobots were a little flustered, wanting to step forward to stop him, but afraid of provoking Sentinel Prime. It was Optimus Prime who spoke up: "Calm down, Sentinel Prime, I am Optimus Prime. You are safe now, put down the blade!"

Sentinel Prime released Optimus Prime. He straightened up and looked at the approaching Autobots. Ironhide took two steps forward and said, "I am Ironhide, you don't need to be afraid. It is safe here, you have returned home."

Sentinel Prime was actually awake just now. Although the Autobots have changed their appearances after coming to Earth, he couldn't possibly not recognize the large Autobot symbol on Optimus Prime's forehead. The counterattack was just a habitual way for him to stay vigilant. He suddenly thought of something: "The war! How is the war on Cybertron?"

Optimus Prime: "Unfortunately, we lost the war. The entire planet Cybertron is almost a ruin."

Sentinel Prime: "Where are we?"

Optimus Prime: "This is Earth, we are temporarily taking refuge here, these humans are our allies."

Sentinel Prime: "What happened to my ship? I only remember the ship being hit during the escape. Right, where are my pillars?"

Optimus Prime: "The Ark crashed on Earth's moon. When we found you, there were only five pillars left."

Sentinel Prime: "What?"

A trace of despair flashed in Sentinel Prime's eyes, "How could this be? I used to have more than three hundred of them. Relying on only five pillars is far from enough to rebuild Cybertron."

Optimus Prime stepped forward and comforted him: "As long as you are still alive, there is hope to manufacture more."

Charlotte spoke up and asked: "Sorry to interrupt, but can I know what you are saying the pillars are used for?"

Sentinel Prime looked down at the human in front of him: "This is a technology I invented, and currently only I can control it. It is difficult to explain clearly with your level of technology. A matrix composed of a large number of energy pillars can tear space to form a relatively stable transmission channel, forming a space bridge for large-scale interstellar immigration, which can transport materials."

Charlotte: "I think it can not only transport materials and refugees, but also transmit troops and weapons, and even high-powered bombs. This is clearly military equipment."

Sentinel Prime: "So what? This is our Cybertronian technology and must be returned to me."
