   > Chapter 4: Optimus Prime.   
   >   
   > When Roxanne, Will and Ironhide got to the base in Diego Garcia   
   > Roxanne saw it was in a shambles. She looked to Will and he   
   > shrugged.   
      
   MIKE: [Will] Yeah, I don't know why we're here, either.   
      
   > "We're in the process of being moved" he said.   
   >   
   > Roxanne lifted an eyebrow.   
   >   
   > "Oh yea...where to?" She asked.   
      
   BILL: Will, buddy; "Need to know."  "Classified informantion."  Any   
   of those ringing a bell?   
      
   > Will tapped his nose and took her into the base.   
      
   KEVIN: [dismayed] That was a signal for sex, wasn't it?   
      
   > She had to weave around many things and finally got to a blue   
   > Peterbilt truck with red flames.   
      
   MIKE: [Roxie] Huh... I was expecting a red-and-white Kenworth.   
      
   > "I'm likin' the decals" Roxanne said.   
   >   
   > Will smiled and walked up to her, he then tapped the Peterbilt on   
   > the hood and it began to transform.   
      
   BILL: Optimus must've gotten stuck in truck mode again.   
      
   > Roxanne looked up and watched the Peterbilt split apart and put   
   > itself back together in the form of a robotic organism much taller   
   > than Ironhide.   
      
   KEVIN: [Roxie] I guess now I find out if I can still wet myself.   
      
   > "Wow, un, feelin' a wee intimidated here" Roxanne said.   
      
   ALL: Ya' think?   
      
   > Optimus finished transforming and came down to Will's and Roxanne's   
   > level.   
      
   MIKE: That makes it sound like he transformed, then shrank.   
      
   > Will stepped forward.   
   >   
   > "Optimus...this is Roxanne. She's been my friend for...well, since   
   > I can remember really. Umm, I think she'll be useful in the rest of   
   > the war" he said.   
      
   BILL: [Will] Still working on the "how", but it'll come to me!   
      
   > The big mech looked from Will to the 'human' female with him.   
   >   
   > "You are the human femme Ironhide informed me of?" He asked.   
      
   KEVIN: "He asked," as he armed every weapon he had.   
      
   > Roxanne nodded, not bothering to tell him she wasn't human. Optimus   
   > nodded too.   
      
   MIKE: [Optimus] Yeah, the "not breathing", "no heartbeat" and "no   
   body temp" gave that away.  You're either a vampire or the world's   
   most intact zombie.   
      
   > "My name is Optimus Prime, we are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from   
   > the planet Cybertron...however, the humans here call us Autobots...   
      
   BILL: [Optimus] Of course, if paid any sort of attention to your news   
   sources, you'd already know this.   
      
   > This is Ratchet, our medical officer, Mirage our spy, WheelJack our   
   > engineer and scientist,   
      
   KEVIN: Which is totally the same thing.   
   MIKE: I suppose when you're millions of years old, it can be.   
      
   > Bumblebee, our scout and you already know Ironhide, our weapons   
   > specialist" he said.   
   >   
   > Roxanne nodded and said 'hello' to all of them, before looking to   
   > Will.   
      
   BILL: [Roxie] How did three other giant robots manage to sneak up on   
   us like that?   
   MIKE: [Will] Eh.  You get used to it.   
      
   > "A'right Will...I'm feelin' a wee bit intimidated here, an' I'be   
   > beginnin' teh get hungry" she said.   
   >   
   > Will's eyes opened wide and then he remembered.   
   >   
   > "We have some food rations if you want them" he said.   
   >   
   > Roxanne shook her head.   
   >   
   > "I've been through both the wars Will, I think I've 'ad enough o'   
   > rations" she said.   
      
   BILL: Yes, because in the three centuries she's been alive, there's   
   only been TWO wars - ANYWHERE, EVER.   
      
   > Will nodded.   
   >   
   > "You want some...?" He asked.   
   >   
   > Roxanne nodded.   
   >   
   > "Where can I get some?" She asked.   
      
   MIKE: For those coming in late (or more likely, completely forgot)   
   Roxanne is a vampire and they're talking about blood, not heroin.   
   BILL: Or sex.   
   MIKE: Or sex.   
   KEVIN: And, yet again, we must point out that the druid gypsy woman's   
   "gift" of being able to eat normally?  Thus far - completely useless!   
      
   > Will swallowed and apologised to Optimus before taking her outside   
   > and pulling down his collar. Roxanne shook her head and walked off,   
   > her eyes flashing golden.   
      
   BILL: [Roxie] Mmm... Home cookin'!   
      
   > "How dare ye" she said.   
   >   
   > Will was confused.   
      
   MIKE: He ain't the only one.   
      
   > "What do you mean?" He asked.   
   >   
   > Roxanne turned on him and pressed him against the wall of the   
   > hangar.   
      
   BILL: [Will] Aw, dammit!  You were talking about sex, weren't you?   
      
   > "I...will...not...drink...from...yeh" she said.   
   >   
   > She then walked off.   
      
   KEVIN: [Will] So... what?  Were you expecting me to serve up one of   
   the base staff?  "Hi, this is my vampire BFF.  Mind if she snacks on   
   your jugular?  What a pal!"   
      
   > "None of the others will let you Roxie...and there're no humans for   
   > a few miles, you'd be starved by the time you found one...and you   
   > know what'll happen if you're starving" he said.   
      
   MIKE: [Will] You'll go all Angelus and one of the several large mind-   
   blowingly armed robots will have to...  You know what?  Let's run   
   with your plan!   
   BILL: This isn't something you guys factored in when you flew off to   
   the middle of the freaking Indian Ocean?   
   KEVIN: Once again for the record: Deep.  Personal.  Stupidity.   
      
   > Roxanne looked back at him and growled, before turning and walking   
   > off.   
      
   MIKE: [Roxie] How dare that jerk try and be considerate!  The nerve!   
      
   > ******TF******   
   >   
   > A few hours later   
      
   BILL:...The base was still in chaos after Roxie's hunger-induced   
   rampage.   
      
   > Roxanne was beginning to feel even more hungry now. So hungry, that   
   > her eyes were beginning to change colour, from her beautiful blue,   
   > to the golden/brown they did when she was hungry. As she walked by   
   > humans, her nostrils flared and she could see the veins beneath   
   > their skin, her jaw began to ache as her fangs slipped into place,   
   > but she shook her head.   
      
   KEVIN: [Roxie] Damn things keep slippin' out of allingment.  Gonna   
   have to hit the dentis and have my fangs rotated.   
      
   > 'I'm not a monster...I will not feed mercilessly on humans...I must   
   > not let my hunger rule me, I do that, things get messy' she   
   > thought.   
      
   MIKE: Messy for about as long as it takes for an Autobot to find and   
   crush you, anyway.   
      
   > Then she felt a presence in front of her, she looked up to see   
   > Will.   
   >   
   > "Go away William...you're in terrible danger bein' here" she said.   
      
   BILL: [Will] Don't worry; you can't hurt me.  I'm in the other two   
   movies.   
   MIKE: For those of you for whom this isn't exactly clear...   
   KEVIN: Probably most of you.   
   MIKE: Probably most of you:  Will is actually Captian Will Lennox,   
   the hunky lead soldier from the movies.  And this story takes place   
   sometime between the original Michael Bay movie and Revenge of the   
   Fallen.  Why are we just mentioning this now?  Because up to now, it   
   wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference as to what we said.   
   BILL: And now you know... The Rest of The Story.   
      
   > She got up, on shaky legs and stumbled off, she almost fell over   
   > from her hunger, but Will caught her.
