I cannot sleep... I have a lot in my mind...

Chapter 1

It was now several weeks that Orion Pax was on the Nemesis . And all this time the young data clerk had remained unaware of his past and his real role in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. Megatron had ably filled his processors with lies. Lies about his identity , about his past , about the Autobots . Although it was still hard to believe for Orion that the good old doctor, his longtime friend , Ratchet , had lost a button for power and glory .

But, basically , Orion had no reason to doubt his close friend, the one who was once called Megatronus . Why would he cheat him ?

Despite passed almost all the time in his quarters or what his friend and leader had called, in his office, Orion wasn't unhappy or bored. He was happy , happy to be reunited again with Megatron and their cause, happy to be able to make his contribution, an active contribution, against the Autobot,s their mortal enemies . And he was happy to do what he was born to do: decrypt .

Maybe someone would find it boring or even tiring, but Orion didn't like to do anything else , encryption was his life , it always had been since his spark had begun to shine, since he had set foot for the first time in the Hall of Records in Iacon , since Alpha Trion ... yeah, Alpha Trion , his mentor , friend , father figure.

A veil of sadness enveloped Orion . His fingers stopped beating and let out a long, deep sigh. Until then he had never stopped to think of the old chief archivist , who had been like a father to him , always ready , always there for him.

Orion made a mental note to ask Megatron if he had been aware of the chief archivist. Now he had a job to finish and knew as his friend had run out of patience. He smiled, shaking his head, and began to beat on the buttons with greater force and speed.

The young data clerk was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice the big metal door was opening and a slim and elegant figure was making her entrance into the large room, lit only by the lights of the monitor. This figure was approaching the shadows at the desk with a slow and calm pace.

"And so this is where you spend most of your time" A female and alluring voice broke the silence of the room.

Orion, taken by surprise, turned to the source of the voice, immediately leaving the work that he was performing. At first he said nothing. He stared at the femme in front of him with neutral look. He didn't seem scared, maybe you could read a bit of curiosity on the features of his face.

The former Autobots leader observed her better. The leaner body was that of a warrior, the look was fierce and strong, eyes, purple, were mysterious and alluring at the same time. Orion didn't realize that he was missing himself in those eyes.

The laughter, sweet and light, of the femme brought him back to reality.

"And who are you?" Orion asked, once his speech processors decided to coöperate. He did not understand why, but that femme made him uncomfortable ... or not?

"My name is Airachnid" the femme promptly replied, beginning to approach the young mech. Orion instinctively took a half step back, but the console prevented him from further retreat.

She was enjoying the moment. She laughed again "I am Lord Megatron's second in command" and she stopped just inches away from Orion. Her eyes were staring at him as a hunter sets his prey.

"I'm here to welcome you among our troops. I was on a mission on behalf of Lord Megatron and just today I heard the good news" she said, lying shamelessly.

"What good news?" Said Orion, a little confused.

Still a laugh "Well, the news of your return" she said. Airahcnid placed both hands on Orion's shoulders, she slid them around his neck and kissed him firmly on the lips. Then she put her mouth to the audio receptor of the young mech and whispered, in a seductive way "Welcome to the winning team." She slid her hands from the neck to the chest of Orion and then, as she had arrived, she left the room among the shadows.

Airachnid came out of the big room with a happy smile on her face. Although she hadn't turned over to be sure , she knew that Orion Pax had been greatly impressed by her and by her gesture.

She had always considered Optimus Prime a deadly enemy . He was an obstacle between her and Arcee . Whenever the femme Dcepticon seemed to prevail on the Autobot femme, appeared the prince who saved the damsel in distress, as usually this hateful and insignificant human beings said.

This time, things would be different. The brave and powerful Prime would not have been at the side of his precious Autobots. He could not save any of them.

Airachnid's plan was simple and well thought. She dropped the young archivist at her feet and she would have used him to strike and break the Autobot femme morally and emotionally. She did not know what type of bond linked the two Autobots, but she knew that it was a deep bond. And then, if she had to be perfectly honest, she had always felt a certain physical attraction for the leader of the Autobots.

The mechanism was activated. She did not know how long it would take, but one thing was certain: Orion Pax would have been the key to the total destruction of Arcee.

Orion had been petrified . He would never have expected that the encounter with the beautiful and proud femme would end with a kiss. He was not shocked or offended , it was just very, very confused. In his processors continued to spin the same question: who was that femme and what did she want from him?

It was not the first time that a femme kissed him . He had done his experiences when he was still just a data clerk at the Hall of Records. There was even a time when , in a sense , he was given to the "mad joy", as his close friend Jazz told. He had attended several femmes , until then he had not known Ariel . They were beautiful Jorns with her, she was the first in everything: his first love , his first real kiss , her first interface , the first time he said I love you to someone.

But when the young archivist devoted himself to the cause of caste along with his friend Megatronus , things between Orion and Ariel began to go wrong. Until, placed in front of a choice, Orion chose to fight for his planet , against the detriment of the femme she loved. Since then, he never saw her again.

Orion remembered Ariel with sadness, but the figure of another femme pushed through his processors. She also agile and lean as Airachnid, compassionate but determined gaze. And those eyes: big, blue and deep.

Orion couldn't remember the name of that femme, nor where and when he had met her. Maybe she was present only in his dreams.

He turned off the big console and went to his quarters. He picked up a datapad and a stylus from the table. He sat on the berth and began to draw that unknown femme on the datapad. When he had finished the drawing, it was night and he fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.

Please tell me what you think. I already have in mind how to continue, but I need reviews! ;)
