Kit sat at her desk staring blankly at the holographic projection before her. The lights in the room were dimmed, and the projector cast a blue glow onto her crimson metal frame. She scrolled down the document, skimming it but not actually reading. Her thoughts wandered elsewhere, anywhere other than inside this office building.

She glanced out her window then at the Senator's door. The work she was doing wasn't extremely important, and she was sure the Senator wouldn't mind her taking a break. Her com-link beeped as she sent a message telling him she was going out and that she would be taking her portable instant messenger. She closed down her com-link and holoprojector and stood from her chair. From her desk drawer she pulled out her messenger and strapped it around her wrist.

As she stepped into the hallway and the door shut behind her, she began to feel uncomfortable about leaving her Senator alone in his office. She glanced up at the security camera mounted on the wall and felt somewhat reassured. This building was probably one of the safest on Cybertron.

She tapped the elevator button then stepped back, waiting for the doors to open. She stroked the delicate leaves of the technorganic plant beside the door. Cybertron was a changed planet, much different than the world her ancestors, the Autobots, had grown old in. She wondered how they must feel seeing their home change before their eyes; seeing their kind dwindle away only to be replaced by technorganics. She knew many of the Autobots and Decepticons despised technorganics. Technorganics like herself. The elevator doors opened, and she stepped in to find it empty.

The elevator's ding sounded too cheerful to her as the doors slid open on the ground floor. She brushed past others trying to get into the elevator.

"Good evening, ma'am."

Kit looked to the door-man who had spoken. He nodded and gave a partial salute. She returned a cheerful smile.

"Not especially, but that's subject to change."

He smiled once more and opened the door for her. She thanked him and stepped out onto the streets of Cybertron.
