At the NEST base, Cira was escorted in an SUV towards the hangar. Today was the day she would make her final decision. The 18 year old girl sat in the passenger's seat, still in 'civies', coming with nothing but her pocket knife, which the airmen at the entrance acknowledged and cleared. Cira's posture was identical to the way an airman sits when he sits at attention. She was anxious-she sat twiddling her fingers, her army-style boots tapping against the thick mat under her feet.
"You're meeting Sergeant Lennox, correct?" the Senior Airman asked Cira. "Yes, Airman." Cira replied, still gazing forward out the front window. She adjusted her hair, which was tied up in a bun, stabilized by a few bobby pins and a bit of hairspray. The Airman nodded as he slowed the SUV, approaching the tarmac, driving perpendicular to the aircraft parking spaces.
The SUV came to a stop by the side of the main hangar where most of the Autobots parked themselves. The driver got out and waited for Cira. Stepping out, she rolled her shoulders back and took a breath, trying to keep her composure since she was somewhat nervous. Well, here goes. A new life...

Lennox exclaimed, "This life will be hard.. if you want to quit now.. you can.." "No one is stopping you.." "But after the hard work it pays off in the end.." Lennox replied, "You have to do basic simple drills with the rest of us.." Lennox led her to the drilling area where they trained. They went through several obstacles such as going under barbed wire. He showed her how to do these things. He also told her that, "We care about physical fit so we also exercise and eat plenty.." "Understood cadet?" He was saluting to her and said, "Welcome.." He shouted to the comrades, "Today there is a new girl comrade.. treat her well.."

Cira saluted back, her four years of JROTC shining through. "Thank you, sergeant! I'm not going to back down." Cira was motivated, full of energy. All though nervous, she was also excited about what challenges and adventures would lie ahead.
Not ONLY am I skilled with drill and color guard, I'm pretty fit, I do parkour on a regular basis! Though I've been to boot camps before, this is THE real deal!
She proceeded to stand at attention unless told to stand at ease. Cira's sharp eyes gazed at him confidently for just a moment before resuming a typical military bearing."I'm ready!"

Lennox yelled, "At Ease everyone.." He saw that everyone was at attention. He saw the beautiful and scorching sun. He exclaimed, "Let's do some physical training.. just unarmed.." The comrades replied, "Sir yes sir." They took out all their guns and weapons and put it on the floor. William then snapped and there were some fake decepticon machines that came out. He then kicked and punched them to their deaths. He wanted to see how Cira reacted. He then saw his friends knock a lot too. He then felt some raindrops on his forehead. He saw up from the sky and it was pretty cloudy. He said, "Wow.. ironic weather.." "I wish it was sunny."

There were several fake robots left for Cira to tackle. "You guys have fake robots? Coool! Woah!" Cira darted out to the right and stuck out her left leg as she went, catching a charging robot by surprise as it tried to give her a metal bear hug. Just then from her right, another bot came forth, trying to grab her neck. Cira pivoted briskly and lunged froward. Her arms shot outwards from her center line with knife hand strikes which parried away the two robotic arms that swooped down for her fairly tiny neck. She shot a left snap kick up for the robot's neck. Her booted foot hit it with a metallic clang.The force sent this second bot reeling back, away from the first bot that was attempting to get up behind her, reaching out with a hand.
She grabbed the extended hand with both her arms and stuck out her right leg, swinging it to the left slightly. She used brute force and momentum to sweep the robot off its feet again, but this time, hurled it to the second bot, which barely moved out of the way in time, and semi collided into it, back first with a loud bang. Sparks flew everywhere. The bot catching the victim fell back onto the ground with a thud, also smashing into one running by that was planning on getting at Cira from another angle, forcing it to trip.
"Nuh uh uh! Yer not getting away!" Cira scampered over the fallen bots, her boots purposefully smashing onto their heads as she went. She kicked off the 2nd bot on the ground and jumped onto the robot from it's left side, head butting it twice. Okay, they're way too hard to do that! Cira thought as she began to see stars. But her energy was still finer than ever. She began sending hook punches to the robots face and neck repeatedly. It's important units fried, it too fell to the ground in a heap close to the other robots.
She stood on the robot's chest, stomping on it, grinning like a mad woman as she began stomping on its head. the bot to her left tried to get up weakly. But, Cira leaned her left leg down (Which was actually her stronger leg because she broke her right when she was little), and executed a nasty snap kick for the bot's head, which sent it sailing off towards a fourth bot that was running at her.
Her aim was decent, and the flying head smashed into the robot's neck. Sparks flew again. "Perfect shot, YAY!"
A fifth bot attacked her from behind, catching her slightly off guard. Flying down at her with quite some force, Cira nearly got sandwiched between the bot she'd been standing on and her attacker. "Eep!" She twisted around just in time and used her muscles to push against the bot as it tried to grab her. She chicken kicked it numerous times before leaping up and delivering a right upper cut to the robots jaw, sending it flying back. Knowing it wasn't completely dead, she leapt onto it and began stomping on its head and chest as she had the other one.
"This is the best work out I've had yet!" She glanced around the area with a victorious demeanor about her pose, hands on her hips. Cira whiped the rain and sweat off her forehead. She kept one of her feet planted on its head as she stood atop the robot. The other bots near her didn't make a sound. She took a breather, but kept her posture. "Is that all?"

Lennox was surprised how she was like without no weapons. He opened his mouth wide and said, "Woo hoo.." "Good job.." He high fived her and said, "I think you are ready to be a cadet.." He then gave the other comrades their weapons back one by one. He said, "You guys can take a five minute break.." He sat on the ground and drank some water because he was thirsty. He said to Cira, "Wow first time seeing a girl move that fast.." "I am impressed.." He finished his break and then went onto the next course. He realized it was raining harder. He said, "Perfect weather now.." He said to the comrades, "Come and crawl in the mud.. under the wire.. faster.." They replied, "Sir yes sir." They crawled so fast and it was unbelieveable. He answered to Cira, "You can join them now.."

Cira took her break, hopping off the fifth robot. She thanked Lennox for the compliment. Spending almost 8 years doing Karate really helped make the scene easier for her. Cira followed the rest of the soldiers to the mud.
"Ah yes...fun in the mud...this brings back oh-so-wonderful JROTC bootcamp memories, and mud fights!" Cira got to her knees and followed suit of the troops, crawling like she'd learned in her boot-camps. She was ruining her outfit, but she didn't really care. Keeping her arms low to the ground, she kept crawling through the mud as the rain began to pour. Her bun was a bit annoying with the wires, but it didn't slow Cira down-all she had to do was keep her neck as low as possible...

While the humans were busy training, Waspinator was busy making himself look more like a Decepticon, putting on a device that masked his energy signature, applying a sticker of it over his new Autobot vigil, etcetera.
"Waspinator ready for simulation." He said, pressing in a small part of his head where his ear would have been, opening the communications line with Captain Lennox. "Tell Waspinator when to come out, Waspinator scare rooks good!"

Lennox heard from the line that Waspinator was here. He then got out of the training area and it was raining and whispered in the line, "Come out in like ten minutes.. or when I cue you okay?" He then went back to the area and said, "Good job.." "Now let's go to the target area so we can practice how to shoot guns and then it is a robot demo okay cadets?" They replied, "Sir yes sir.." and stopped crawling under the wire. He answered, "Good.." The rain was still pouring. The cadets ran to the target area and got their guns ready. He examined everyone carefully and said, "Shoot.." The guns fired and the shots were close to the targets. He saw his watch and said, "Now time for a robot demo. He realized that he had to do paper work for Cira so he ran ahead and said, "I will be right back.." He went to the headquarters and said, "Dang.. why is there so many?"

Cira went after the troops, getting off what mud she could. The pouring rain helped somewhat, and she was glad for it. She huffed a satisfied sigh, pleased that things were going well. She looked forward to target practice, figuring she would get a gun soon. While she waited for Lennox, Cira observed the other uniformed rookies, taking their targets. She grabbed some ear plugs, and paced about several a yard or so behind their feet, watching.

Waspinator laughed a little. He was usually on the end of real guns, but now it was just fake guns. This was probably the best day of his life, actually. He'd much rather be shot with paintballs than with nuclear rockets.
"RAAAAAH!" Waspinator shouted, leaping out at the soldiers. This would be a lot of fun.

William Lennox was finished with the paperwork and it took him like fiveteen minutes and decided to get Cira a gun and uniform. He went to the cabinets and looked for the smallest uniform and any gun. He was holding it under his uniform jacket because he didn't want it to get wet. He walked outside and saw that they were still shooting at the targets and shouted, "Let's go inside for robot practice.." They dropped their guns and took out plugs and ran to where he was. Lennox led them to a little building where all the demos were. He turned on his communicator and said, "Earth to Waspinator come in.. come out now.." He then saw Cira all the way in the back of squad and handed her the stuff.

After thanking Lennox for the equipment, Cira dissappeared for a moment to go hop into her uniform. she didn't want to change out completely since there was no changing room around. She kept on her tank top underneath the black shirt and BDU's. She came back with the gun and the rest of her supplies, and saw that a Decepticon was scaring the rookies. Taking out the ear plugs, Cira ran into the gaggled group.
Cira ran a wide arc around Wasp to the left. She recognized his basic figure somewhat, but could not tell that he was really an Autobot. She joined in on the barrage of fire, aiming for Wasp's upper body. Paintballing was always fun. "Eat paint, Decepticon!"

Waspinator was glad he'd worn the forcefield that Lennox had suggested. He wouldn't have been able to scrub the paint off for weeks, and if it got into his alt mode's eyes, he wouldn't be able to see when he transformed. He shot blasts of electricity from his lower hands-- Not at full power, but strong enough that the humans would get a static shock from it.
He dashed forwards and slashed the dirt ahead of the troops, covering them with dirt and mud.

The soldiers were covered in mud and dirt but still laughed.Lennox saw that they were having fun and fighting. Lennox laughed when he saw Wasp was all getting covered with paint. He finished doing the thrill and screamed, "Stop guys.." It passed like thirty minutes and said, "Good job.." "Let's take another five minutes.. wo hoo.." He checked outside and it was becoming sunny so that was good. He looked at the time and it was like 6: 00 p.m. He went to the kitchen and said, "Can you cook us some meals?" The chef said, "it will be done in twenty minutes.." He went back to the building where Wasp and everyone was and said, "Twenty minutes till dinner.." He saw them all happy and jumpy.
