    Summary

    When Sam is 10, his parents die in a car accident.
    Afterwards, he’s sent to live with an uncle he has never met.

    When he is 17, he goes to college.
    There, he catches the unwanted attention of the Autobots Search & Retrieval.

     

    Set in a world where the Autobots are known and have been quietly (and also not so quietly) meddling in human affairs since the late 1800s.

    An AU of Fission - A bit of an alternative way of Sam getting to Diego Garcia (that started as a small what if but quickly grew out of proportions).
    I don’t think you need to read Fission to understand what’s going on here, but it’s an absolutely delightful work, so you absolutely should go read it.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    He's practically Switzerland.

    Summary

    ::I do not believe I’m familiar with the term. One moment while I consult your-::

    “NO! Nononono!” Jazz said, waving his hands at the console. He slapped his hands over his mouth, face going red.

    ::Jazz? Are you alright?:: Prowl- bless his spark- sounded so concerned. ::I promise not to look it up. You said this is an… intimate cycle?::

    “Mhm,” Jazz said, burying his head in his hands.

    Summary

    It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.

    The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.

    So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…

    Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.

    Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.
