Subject: Reanimation

The mechanical yet feminine voice of the computer systems broke the silence abroad the Scalar. "Commencing reanimation in cryo-stasis pod three. Approximate reanimation time: thirty cycles"

In the chamber the middle of the five cryo-stasis pods began to hum, slowly warming the liquids that had kept its patient in suspended animation. Within seventeen cycles the life form in the pod's vital functions had almost returned to normal. After twenty-five cycles the specimen began to move. At 29.999999999 cycles the pod opened, revealing a large, purple, blue, and grey locust within.

"Reanimation in cryo-stasis pod three completed. Your orders sir. "

The locust within shifted, raising its appendages to his head. After a few minutes of trying to regain focus, the locust spoke in a low, harsh voice.

"Computer� did your analysis find anyway of reversing this condition?"

"Negative, sir."

The head of the locust began to twitch in disgust and anger. "I would like an explanation for my reanimation then�" the locust began to gag for a few moments. "Agh� and a report of travel so far while I am awake."

"Sir, as we were departing Cybertron several blasts from the planet damaged the Scalar and disabled primary meta-processors. The meta-processors were came back online just three point five megacycles ago. The chronometer and the navigation equipment were also among the damaged equipment. It is impossible to determine how long we were traveling, and impossible to determine where we are."

The locust twitched again. "So we are, as the saying goes, 'Lost in Space'? Fitting. I would not be the first of my heritage to be lost in such a manner�" Another gagging fit hit the locust. "Agh� That still does not explain why you awakened me."

"Sir, sensors indicate that we have arrived at some civilized outpost� sensors also indicate that there might be Cybertronian based life forms."

The locust finally rose from the capsule, hovering in the air. Another gagging fit fell over him, and he then spoke. "I see� send a distress signal. Ask for aid� nothing else. No specifics."

"Sending distress signal along all known frequencies� ' This is the Scalar requesting aid� Please respond�.'"
