I think this story is great! I hope you finish the next chapter soon!

I saw something interesting on the T.V the other day, and it made me think about this story. Have you ever heard of self domestication? It’s when a species realizes it can gain from changing its behavior and basically domesticate themselves.

Humans are self domesticated. Somewhere along our evolution, we realized that we could gain more from sharing and living together peacefully, and we lost most of our natural aggression and became more docile. I could see the Decepticons in this story somehow using that as an excuse to explain why some humans are more tame then others.

And also just have to say I love this story, and always look forward to more!

*takes deep breath* First things first. I was re-reading this fic recently (because I was going through withdrawals) and I discovered a few typos that I felt I should point out. They appear as follows: Ch. 6 "He withdrew has (his) hands and pointed at the creatures" Ch. 11 "His pets stopped at (and) accepted the treats" Ch. 12 "So Prowl had focused him (his) mind on the task at hand" Ch. 13 "Afterwards he he felt this (his) stomach drop a little" Ch. 13 "Now was the perfect time to log the results of the discussions he'd just return (returned) from" Ch. 13 "There weren't strange mechs to fear, and so, at time (times), they even dared to get several lengths ahead of him"

Now that business is out of the way...

I absolutely love this fic! It is without a doubt one of the best Transformer fics I have read! You manage to keep everyone so in character; it is easy to imagine the scenes you describe! Keep up the good work and update soon please (if time permits)! I hope that you had (are having?) a wonderful time down here in the South!

I have been reading this story for the past little while and all I have to say is that it rocks. You have a good story line going and everything you write seems to flow. I cannot wait for the next chapter to come up.

Where'd you go? i miss you!

I found this story while searching for something (it's been like, two days- can't remember what I was searching) when I came across this. It took me two, three days to finish chapter 1 through 14. And I loved it all! I mean, I stay up till midnight trying to finish at least three or four chapters before going to sleep! And when I'm at school, I sometimes squirm in my seat at the last period, I just couldn't wait to go home, finish my homework, and go straight to my laptop! I just love it! It's funny, calming, suspenceful and enjoyable to read! You have such a way of words that when I'm reading it's like watching a movie! The images are so clear in my head! I just love it! When I checked the date of when it was last updated, I was relieved that you weren't one of those authors that abandon their story without an expanation. It's been a month, but I know you have other buisnesses to attend to. I mean, I love this story! I bet I said that at least three times, huh? But I just can't help it! I can't wait for the next chapter!

Please update as soon as possible! Pretty please with all the goodies in the world with energon (or a cherry, whatever you prefer) on top!

I liked this chapter!

I don't know if I've ever reviewed this fic, but I've been following it basically since you started posting and I love it.

I've also tremendously enjoyed how you address people's inquiries about why certain things happen, thought processes of the bots, etc. So, I figured I would mention one or two things that I've been thinking about.

Most recently the end of this chapter brought up a question in my mind. How could Jazz be so slow on the uptake that this was a human city? I mean, you imply that he simple doesn't want to believe it but the evidence piles up around him. But really, it's not as though humans are subtle. As soon as he saw a billboard for a local lawyer (or a mural, or a shop w/ mannequins, or any number of other things) it'd be obvious. You're telling me he doesn't encounter any pictures of humans?

Earlier questions have sort of been answered. I was wondering why neither Sam nor Mikaela had started singing to alleviate their boredom. Humans are very musical animals - I'd be amazed if they never even hummed to themselves. Now you've mentioned Annabelle doing it, and it sort of boggles me that the teenagers who've probably been plugged into their mp3 players for years (and have a much larger repertoire of songs) didn't think to do it first.

The other thing I'm very curious about is why Annabelle hasn't started to figure out the Cybertronian language yet. It's clear that humans can hear the sounds, though they may not be able to reproduce them. If you stick a four year old in an immersive environment of a foreign language, it really doesn't take very long for them to spontaneously produce words, and from there to speaking sentences. I could understand if she simply can't produce the sounds, but I'd imagine she'd be able to understand simple things at this point, and she'd probably try to speak it (pronunciation abominable, but still try). This brings to mind a very cute Annabelle trying to say something and Ironhide and Ratchet being all "?" I suppose it's possible there's something about the language that makes it impossible for humans to learn - though I find it difficult to imagine what. Human beings speak such a wide variety of languages with completely different ways of expressing things.

Anyways, my ponderings on a couple aspects of the fic that have confounded me. I love that your fic does this thought - it sparks questions of hows and whys that really add to the realism suspension-of-disbelief that this could really happen.

YES!

I've waited so long for this moment, and at last it has arrived!

The LAST horse crosses the finish line, and the Autobots trudge slowly towards the truth!

There will be sooooooo much delicious guilt! XD

At first, I expected this to be garbage, but I was hooked pretty quickly. It's not bad at all, no sir.

Keep up the good work!

Oh yes! yes,yes yes! You have done it again, theres no denying that you are brilliant, I can hardly express how much. The build up of this story is so intelligent, you think of everything, nothing, even the tiniest bit of information we recieved perhaps 8 chapters ago, is random. The solution with Sam yelling in the com is pure genius. First Bee has to be unconcious and then lying down in order for Sam to reach it-I never saw this coming but it is

simply an amazing idea. You WOW me with every chapter you write. Im almost scared of the wait you promise us, Im utterly addicted.

Im trying a little guessing here...I think Jazz and Crosswise will meet...Will on Earth. Just a guess, but it just feels right. But time will tell XD: I really cant wait, you are amazing;P

Glad Bee is better. And, hey, progress on the sentience issue. Liked this.

Oh, when you said you had something to say, I thought you were gonna "bail" on your reviewers. Wasn't it you that said you wouldn't or some other female author. I know you weren't going to tell, but I thought it was one of those ex-Decepticons who wanted to silence Jazz and shot Bee by mistake.

another awesome chapter! :)

excellent chap, the mechs are finally getting it. more percy please?
