Here is chapter 15... I have currently stalled at the end of 16... if my state of mind doesn't improve then I am delaying updating it next week...
Well here it is...
Chapter 15 Prowl sat patiently listening as the humans bickered over what course of action to take. He wasn’t used to attending these meetings, which were solely Prime’s responsibility. Prowl found himself wondering how Prime found the patience to decipher what they were saying and still manage to contribute effectively, apart from the usual formal greetings, not one of the humans had spoken to him although Epps and Lennox had cast some questionable looks in his direction when things seemed to be getting a little too heated.
“Gentlemen let’s get some perspective here, they have detected the asteroids near Jupiter, that doesn’t mean that they are on a direct course for Earth. They have probably been pulled into the planet’s gravity by now. There is no need to be alerting the President to this situation and causing a potential mass panic.”
“But Admiral Sir, don’t you think…”
“Major those are my orders.” Admiral Morshower dropped his head slightly with fatigue. “Will there’s nothing we can do if the asteroids are heading towards Earth except shoot nukes at it, which as you know will probably make the situation worse.”
“What about evacuations Sir?”
“We don’t even know where they’d hit, our scientists can’t pin point or predict a trajectory, that’s why they don’t think these are just any asteroids.”
“You’re saying artificial, controlled?”
The Admiral sighed in acknowledgement.
“A singularity device.” Prowl’s even tone resounded around the room, startling the humans into silence. Epps turned to the quiet mech, who looked surprised at the sound of his own voice.
“Say what?”
Prowl looked distinctively uncomfortable. “Um I was hypothesising as to how someone could manipulate asteroids or large inanimate bodies to be used as projectiles while in the vacuum of space.”
“A Singularity device?” Lennox repeated, puzzled. While being the first to admit he did not have a scientific brain the concept was vaguely familiar to him. “You mean singularity as in like a worm hole or a black hole?”
“Yes Major precisely!” Prowl was rather pleasantly surprised by the soldier’s answer. Epps leaned back towards his friend.
“You got that off Star trek didn’t you?”
Lennox frowned and whispered quietly as Prowl began explaining, “Star gate actually.”
“Ah good show.” Epps grinned before turning his attentions back to Prowl.
“How can this device be used Prowl?” Admiral Morshower could be heard asking, as his senior scientific advisors clustered behind him muttering quietly to themselves.
“I am not entirely certain Admiral.”
“You don’t know?!”
“It has never been attempted before to my recollection.” Prowl’s tone took a sombre note, “there are a number of possible outcomes to the deployment of such a device however.”
“I take it these aren’t good outcomes?” Lennox questioned candidly.
“I’m afraid not Major.”
“Care to elaborate.” It was not a request, Admiral Morshower’s patience was wearing thin, they had multiple problems and no solutions. He did not like these odds.
“The first most serious outcome is that the device will implode under the strain of the gravimetric forces that the created singularity would induce. This would leave an unstable singularity existing within your very solar system. Worse case scenario; a black hole that would devour your solar system over time, but its effects would undoubtedly be felt immediately on this planet if it is created close to any of the larger planets thus altering its orbit and/or mass. If it is near the gas giant, this would only serve to feed the black hole and create a gravity well so strong, it would destroy your solar system in less than fifty of your years.”
Epps’s jaw had dropped open at the explanation. “I don’t even know what, half of what you just said, actually means, but that sounds bad to me.”
“Indeed Sergeant. It would be catastrophic.” Prowl replied softly.
“So if that’s the worse case scenario… I almost don’t want to ask about the rest.” Lennox prodded lightly.
“The other scenario is that it would create a wormhole, rather than a black hole. It would also be unstable, but a much smaller threat to your solar system. It does have a risk of jumping around in its instability and a planet cannot survive a wormhole opening within it. The final possibility which, I suspect is what Megatron will have developed the device for, is to be used as a, what you humans would describe as a ‘slingshot’. It would create a tiny singularity allowing for enough of a gravimetric field to be used to hurl bodies such as asteroids in this case, at a target. The aim is not considered accurate but the asteroid would be hurled at an incredible speed and would be almost impossible to prevent an impact if it wasn’t detected early enough.”
“They all sound as bad as the first possibility Prowl!” Lennox exclaimed worry etched across his features. Prowl glanced at the men in the room, his expression unreadable. “There is one other thing.”
“How can it possibly get any worse?” Epps muttered under his breath.
“Megatron could transport the device on the very singularity it creates, if it is situated on one of the asteroids and he calculates the aim accurately enough to prevent it impacting the Earth.”
“What good would that do him? We could just nuke it from the ground if he puts it in orbit.”
“It would not be that simple Major. The device can be converted into a weapon. A high powered laser that would obliterate any of your weapons from orbit before they were even launched.”
“You have got to be kidding me!”
“I am sorry major I would make no joke about this. We can only hope that Megatron doesn’t have the energy to power such a weapon. It would require vast amounts of energon.”
“There’s no way he could have found a source within our solar system is there?” Morshower questioned.
“I do not think so Admiral, although he may have discovered a way of utilising raw energy sources to create a basic form of energon, he would need pure energon such as that within the Matrix to power it.”
“The Matrix.” Lennox mused absently. He looked at Prowl sharply. “What if he’s planning on trying to get the Matrix?”
“That is not possible Major. It is kept with Optimus Prime at all times.”
“He’s missing Prowl. Could Megatron get the Matrix from Prime?”
Prowl’s optics widened at the line of questioning, his logic circuits rapidly calculating the odds. He mentally kicked himself for not considering the possibility before.
“At this point, having not heard from Prime or the others I can only assume that....” Prowl’s normally calm voice was now laced with concern. He visibly straightened and held Lennox worried stare. “Megatron could already be in possession of the Matrix.

Trailblazer was rapidly losing his temper at the irritating humans in his front seats.
“I am sick of you bossing me around, just who died and made you boss?!”
“Well as a matter of fact kid I…”
“I don’t care about your sector seven crap. Did you not get the memo; you were shut down because you did a suck ass job!”
“Don’t you talk about my work like that kid!”
“Why what you going to do? You going to have me shot?” Leo laughed shortly. “Bring it on old man!”
“You two just SHUT UP!” The sound of Mikaela’s angry command silenced both men in mid-sentence.
“Don’t you guys think we have enough to deal with? We don’t need to listen to you two bicker like an old married couple on hormone therapy! So just sit and be quiet for five minutes!”
Trailblazer couldn’t help but smirk at the outburst; his respect for the human female had just increased slightly. He heard her try to continue a more civilised conversation with the now sullen men, when he was interrupted by a proximity alarm.
“I hate to interrupt but brace for impact!” His normally calm voice commanded urgently. The humans tightened their seat belts while glancing out of the window to try and see what was heading for them.
“Are we being attacked?” Mikaela was scared, Sam wouldn’t survive another attack and it was highly likely that they wouldn’t either.
“I don’t know, something is following us and it’s close. I need to get off the road.” He veered sharply to the left, his tyres screeching as he dived down an embankment. Leo could be heard squealing in the car and they bounced over rocky uneven ground finally sliding to a halt at the bank of a small river. Trailblazer flicked his doors open.
“Get out!”
“Wait you can’t just leave us here!” Mikaela cried out as they were unceremoniously dumped onto the moist grass. Trailblazer bent down to meet her panicked glare.
“Mikaela Banes I will return for you. Stay out of sight, keep Sam safe. All of you remain here. I can’t defend you and worry about you at the same time. I will return.”
She nodded at the intensity burning within his deep blue optics. Simmons grumbled quietly as he watched Trailblazer climb up the embankment with more agility than one would expect from a twenty foot mechanoid.
“When did he start sounding like Prime?”
Trailblazer could sense its presence now, this was no mere drone. He had felt this presence before a long time ago, on that ship above Cybertron. He charged his weapon and stealthily crept to the top of the embankment. The lighting was virtually non-existent this far out in the desert, he could just make out a large shape looming in front of him. He noticed the feet first and gradually drew his head up to the shadow’s full form. Looking down on him with contempt and irritation were a pair of red glowing, angry optics. Trailblazer was terrified, this Decepticon was massive compared to his small frame; he could not hope to win in a fight. It had seen him. Freezing to his spot, he shuttered his optics as the large mech raised its weapon, pointing it at his face. A large scraping of metal against concrete could be heard; he opened one optic to find the Decepticon had taken a few steps back to allow him to finish his ascent. Trembling, he crawled up and righted himself, pointing his weapon shakily at the much larger bot. A weird noise, that could almost be called chuckling came from the Decepticon, Trailblazer was now afraid for his life and confused.
“Is this just a game for you!?” He yelled frustrated, unwilling to be the first to open fire and start a fight he would not win.
“Youngling, if this was a game, I most certainly would not be playing it with you.”
“What do you want?” Every nerve and sense was screaming at Trailblazer to fire and run, to forget his charges and just run. He held his ground as the Decepticon stepped forward; it jerked and winced painfully its left foot dragging on the concrete. Trailblazer switched on his headlights, the light caused the larger mech to wince and cover its face with a snarl. He dimmed the light to a more bearable level.
“I want… a truce…”
“What?!” Trailblazer almost dropped his weapon in surprise. The Decepticon came into view, his tattooed helm menacing in the light. Trailblazer’s optics widened in horror as he recognised the Decepticon standing before him. Flashbacks of his escape from Cybertron filled his visions. He could not speak or move, the Decepticon glowered at him impatiently, oil and coolant dripping from his broken, battered body. He spoke with difficulty as his jaw was all but shattered.
“Are you stupid Autobot, or just stalling for time until your precious humans can escape?”
Trailblazer in his shock could only mutter two words as he continued to stare at the tall seeker glaring down at him.
“It’s you…”
The Decepticon frowned at the recognition in the young Autobot’s voice. He scanned through his memory files and came across an early file of the war. A time when he had merely been a soldier in the Decepticon army, before he’d risen through the ranks to be Megatron’s second in command. A smirk crossed his features as he recognised the bot that was no longer a sparkling, in front of him. He leaned in closely, trying to be imposing as possible.
“Yes you know who I am, so you will obey my request.”
“Star…scream, I…”
Starscream’s damaged systems finally gave out, he had to recharge and he collapsed forward, almost crushing the young bot, who managed to stay upright surprising the seeker with his strength. He looked up at the Autobot who now held his weight and was still too stunned to speak.
“You… owe me… your life…. Remember that…” With those words he slipped into darkness, leaving his fate in the hands of the troubled and panicked young Autobot.
um....
I am British is it that obvious? 
I'll be waiting...
