The bright red sports car sitting near the bottom of the large hill was pretty easy to spot. Especially seeing as it was directly in what sunlight there was. Silencer wasn't really trying to stick out, but then again, he wasn't trying to hide very much. He was really just sitting there, not bothering to think of something to do, or go to get an assignment from the higher ups. He could do that later, if he bothered to do it later. Of course, he wasn't paying attention to what anything around him was doing, which was why he almost didn't notice the dog. He revved his engine, scaring the dog away. It had almost lubricated on him! The creature was lucky he wasn't a decepticon. Because he didn't know if his alt. form would attract attention out here, he stuck a holographic "For Sale" sign on his window. It had what would probably be a ridiculously small amount of money for a Lamborghini Countach. $500. He so wasn't used to Earth currency. Plus the cost was crossed out, with a 'free' scribbled beside. Who knew? Most would think it was a police sting.

((question, does Silencer's form have that racing tail like this? www.chooseyouritem.com/exotics/photos/95500/95950.1985.Lamborghini.Countach.LP.400.jpgor like this?http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lsyt_wQ2awY/SKstjgPhBNI/AAAAAAAAP7w/4WbARzy_deI/s400/Lamborghini-Countach_Quattrovalvole_1985_800x600_wallpaper_03.jpg )) Cira was out for a random jog, not really going anywhere, when she came across the look out. The song Fade Away by 12 Stones was blaring in her headphones as she ran. Cira wore black sweats, a black backpack, black sneakers and a camo tank top. Her dark hair was tied up in a pony tail. She sang along quietly to the music. "I find you down the road that I have walked before
And I know you're alone again
You try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe----"Cira immediately stopped singing when she saw a mysterious car parked up ahead on the lookout. She gasped, and her eyes widened when she saw the for sale sign. "Holy shit, a 1985 Lamborghini Countach!" she hadn't seen one of these in quite a while. Best of all its paint job was a cherry red, shining brightly in the sun. "Wow," she whispered in a more solemn voice as she slowed down her pace, yanking out her ear buds. She couldn't believe it was for sale. Why pick the look out for a sales location? There were plenty of places in town... "Sure is an odd location to start a sales business. I wonder where the owner is..." Cira thought aloud, glancing about her as she cautiously approached the car. Cira approached it from the left, looking at the sign. She took a closer look at the sign. "Free?" she shook her head. "That can't be...."((song reference link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTrY6_NSbd4 )) |

A woman was running around the area Silencer was situated in. He quickly scanned her, preliminary findings showed that she was indeed human, and didn't have any weapons on her. THe human part was undeniable, but weaponry could still exist in her possession. They were just preliminary results though. She stopped though, possibly saying something about him. He believed it was confirmed when she walked up to him, saying something about it being an odd location? Then she exclaimed that it couldn't be 'right' that he was free. Why not? He made sure the doors had been locked and the keys he had mimiced were in the drive.

Cira peered closely at the sign, staring into the interior, keeping all clothes and hands off the car like she was avoiding prohibited airspace. She took out her camera and took pictures of the Countach from different angles, just admiring its shiny paint job. She'd always liked this car, among others. But this one, this was high on her list.
"If you were a bot I fear you'd be a Decepticon. Almost every sweet ride I've seen lately has been one." she said, thinking of her encounter with Nightridge, whose form was a pitch black Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. "Why did she have to be a Decepticon..."she murmured aloud. Even her very first ride, her first partner, had turned out to be a Decepticon. She shrugged and took one or two more different shots from the front, then turned away and resumed listening to her music, preparing to walk away as she put away her camera. It was obvious she was not able to sense the vehicle really was an Autobot.
Since more Autobots came to earth the chances of it speaking were a little higher than they were a decade ago. But still not by much. Well at least I got some good photos... she thought, taking a few steps forward away from the Countach.

Was the female seriously taking pictures of his alternate mode? Silencer thought that was a little strange, but who was he to judge? He hadn't been made on this planet. She figured he was one of those stinking Decepticreeps! She didn't really say that he was an autobot or decepticon, but it seemed like she already knew about them. He was pretty much pissed that even though she didn't know him, she was already assuming that he was one of those crazed 'Cons. His car alarm went off, his engine revving as he shot forward, opening the door and cutting her off. He hadn't really thought this through. He quickly scanned the area around, thankfully there weren't any other humans, that he detected anyways.

Cira's eyes widened and stepped back into a fighting stance as the Countach moved forward, but as she turned around in increasing panic, a root caught her heel. Cira had been distracted by....the shininess. "Eep!"she squeaked as she fell. That was smart of me. she thought unhappily. Cira was well known for being graceful, not UNgraceful.
She hopped to her feet, brushing off her sweats, staring at the car. All right so it was an Autobot. It must be mad at her...for something she said. But it had stopped. Apparently not a Decepticon. "Well we all know what happens when we assume." she muttered with a sigh, stepping back a couple times. "So yer an Autobot by the fact that you didn't lawn mow me...I appreciate that. A LOT. My apologies for assuming otherwise." Cira glanced to the right, the way she'd arrived, making sure her route was clear. "So yea...uh...I guess I'll be going now..." she muttered, not knowing if the Autobot was going to speak. Besides, there probably was no need for it to do so.

Silencer was a little surprised when the female fell down. He had a little trouble not letting a chuckle out of his vocal processor, but it had appeared that she was going into a battle worthy stance. That made it all too hard for him to actually keep from laughing, and so he let it out. What did she mean? He hadn't heard the expression of assuming before.
Apology accepted. Why did you say I was probably a 'con anyways? I probably wouldn't've done this if you didn't know of us, pretty much because if you didn''t know about giant transforming robots, then you couldn't've accused me of being a 'con. Well, where are you going? I might be able to assist with that. Silencer didn't really know why he offered, but it could have just been him trying to make amends for nearly running her down. He made sure that he had shut off the alarm, but he had left open the door.

"Well I only wondered if you were because one, I couldn't easily see a symbol. Then the last beautiful sports car I saw was a black Saleen s7 Twin turbo...and she turned out to be a Decepticon. So I was assuming the worst, reminding myself you could be one too. I'm just glad you're not one."
If KITT were here he would have known, and automatically stuck some kind of chat with him, even if it had just been simple. Cira paused a moment, scratching her right temple. "I don't really have anywhere to go right now...I usually just run around in town. But seriously...I'm not trying to be judging or anything but...who can pass up a ride in a Lamborghini Countach?! They're one of my favorites! Uh, thanks..." she said, smiling a slightly cheesy smile. She couldn't help it, she was a vehicle fanatic, after all.
Cautiously she walked up and around the door, cautiously climbing into the drivers seat, wondering if the Autobot had any objections. She knew some might be picky about that...

She had met a Decepticon that was a nice sports car. When he considered the logic behind the thought, Silencer figured that it made more sense than just saying that he was a one of those 'creeps for no reason.
Then she started talking about how she hadn't really had anything to do, but couldn't pass up the chance to take a ride in a Countach. You're welcome. I'm Silencer. Your designation is? She was walking around his driver side door. He didn't really mind her driving, plus he didn't feel like thinking about moving himself, so... Yeah, he'd give her the wheel. He waited a few moments to see what she was going to do. You can drive if you want. I don't really feel like navigating right now anyway.

Cira took a long, very long glance at all the controls. "Wow, I've like, never driven a sports car other than KITT and KARR before they were almost one in the same..." Cira shut the door and started the engine, taking in the moment. It couldn't be helped! This Countach was one of her favorite vehicles...EVER. Carefully she shifted into drive and rolled forward.
She wasn't used to being so low on the ground either, her black Toyota Tundra pick up was pretty high. It was all wheel drive, 4 wheel was optional, and could drive almost anywhere. But man, this was a nice opportunity all right. Cira tried to relax as she rolled out of the Look Out. "I don't really know where to go," she muttered. "I'm off duty and was out for a jog and parkour practice. I guess I'll go see what Alex is up to. Say are you at the NEST much? I don't think I've seen you there before."

She loved cars, but she wasn't sure how to drive a 'sports car'. She was doing pretty good though, so it didn't really bother him. She suggested going to somebody's house, or at least to visit them. Who's Alex? And, what is your designation? She hadn't answered him the first time he asked for her name.
No, I haven't been to the NEST now that you mention it. I haven't even met any of my superiors on this planet yet. He looked up Nest on the net. Everything he found seemed to contradict itself. What is Nest in any case? That pretty much showed that he hadn't bothered to look much up. That could've been a bit embarrassing, but he didn't realize it.

"Oh uh, Alex is my boyfriend." Cira replied. "I'll spare you the story of how we met." she paused a moment, making sure everything was clear as she approached the more open main road. Cira had trouble staying focused, still not over the fact that she was driving such a beautiful car. It's an Autobot ya idiot. GET OVER IT.
"Anyway, there's one NEST base here, and another in India. I don't have any charts on me but...if you want I can direct you there. NEST is a base which is designated for all Autobots to stay. I'm a member, I'm an A10 pilot for the NEST base, patrol and air to ground back up. But when you decide to go, you're in for a long drive...its in New Jersey, which is on the East Coast. You'd travel through 2 additional time zones..." she said and proceeded to drive.

Well now, so the NEST base was where all the Autobots stayed. He'd have to check it out sometime. I probably won't visit the place very soon, but I'll check it out sometime. What is your name? He hadn't yet learned her name, and it was starting to bug him. He just let her sit there driving, but if he had to stop to learn her name, then he would slam on the brakes. That probably wouldn't happen though. Hopefully. Where are you taking us? No pressure, just curious.

"My names Cira Knight." she replied. "Unless you'd rather go elsewhere, I'm taking us to where Alex lives." she shrugged a bit as she relaxed her hands on the steering wheel, headed for the suburbs. "I don't have to leave for duty for a while so I have nothing to do." she couldn't help but be curious about what Autobots Silencer had met recently. "If you haven't met any of our superiors...how long have you been here? Do you know any of the other Autobots?"

Silencer pretty much understood what she meant. He was being lazy though. I don't mind. I've got nothing better to do but drive cross country, and I'm not in that kind of mood. How long had he been here? That was a nice question to ask. Wait, how long had he been here? Probably a few of your human weeks, a month or two at the most. I know of several other Autobots. I don’t really know them though. Let’s see. He knew of Prime, the leader of his faction, and… Huh. He must’ve been more oblivious to their names than he thought. Oh well.
