Noelle dragged Elie away until she was sure no one was around .
Then she stopped , turned around , and Without any hesitation , she launched into a barrage of questi luared straight at her , eyes Are you a transformer toot Why are you here ! Wisch lab are you from ? Whats your mission ? Elsie blinked her big blur eyes in confusion , tilting her head like a curious puppy .
She didnt seem to understand a word Noelle was saying .
Noelle frowned and gave her a light pat on the head , already annoyed .
Why do you look so clueless ! Did you really hit your head that hard ! Can your communicator still function ! Can you contact anyone from your labı ? Elvir thed her head again , still uncomprehending The more Noelle observed her , the more she felt that this girl was seriously out of it .
Shes really just dumb , she fought to herself , half exasperated Since there was no way to get information out of Elsie directly .
Noelle decided to check her communicator She reached up without asking and touched the girls carring , checking to see if it was still functional .
Under normal ciresimstances , the lab would never leave a malfunctioning subject unmonitored .
But when she pressed the back of the earring , there was no signal .
No response .
Hello ? Anyone there ! Can anyone hear me ? she called softly , Silence .
Nothing .
Maybe the earrings broken too , Noelle muttered , frustrated .
Unable to get anything useful , she decided to contact Brandon instead .
Come with me , she said , pulling Elsie along toward the pavilion in the garden .
There , she reached beneath her collar and retrieved her necklace , activating the embedded communicator Within moments , Brandons familiar , warm voice came through .
Noelle , whats up ! Brandon , she greeted quickly Hearing his voice , Elur suddenly leaned in , i , her eyes glued t Noelle quickly smacked her hand away .
Elsie gave a quiet sound of acknowledgment .
Though she didnt try to touch the necklace again , her gaze lingered on Brandon , having heard some of the noise , asked , Noelle , whos with you ? glued to the necklace .
She reached for it , but Not it with even more curiosity .
Noelle didnt hide it . Its like this , Brandon .
My brother Adriel came back today , and he brought a girl with him someone like me , from a lab .
But somethings wrong with her .
Shes got memory issues and cant speak properly .
I was hoping you could help me figure out which lab shes from , and maybar reach out to them ,, There was a brief pause before Brandons one grew noticeably more serious .
What kind of communicator is she wearing ! Necklace or earrings Larring , Noelle replied .
Check tie serial number on the back .
Does it start with a Dor an 57 Noelle did an instructed .
It wart Brandons answer came without hesitation .
Shes In s from the Serpaton Morria Alliance Laboratory Noelle nodded slowly , then added , Brandon , her brains messed up right now she cant talk at all .
Her communicators probably broken Ton Cand you help her ? Or contart saneone from her lab Brandons tone turned cold .
Thats not my responsibility .
Sure , shes a transformer like you , but the three regional labs are competitors .
I have no prastas to help a rival Libis subject .
If shes lost her memory , the best thing is to dispose of her quickly What dispose of her ? Noelle was shocked .
But Brandons voice softened again , with a teasing smile .
Whats wrong ? You getting attached already ? Didnt Adriel just bring her back ? You cant possibily be this sentimental Noelle hesitated , then spoke her thoughts aloud .
Brandon , I can tell Adriel really cares about her .
And since Im still working on winning over the rest of my family , hes the last one I havent gotten close to yet .
I was thinking , maybe I can use Elsie in build a connection with him Brandon thuckled .
So thats your plan , huh ? Alright .
If you want to keep her around for now , fine .
But listen to me if she ever becomes a threat .
you deal with her immediately Noelle grinned , her tone sweet Thanks , Brandon .
Brandon laughed lightly at her cheerful voice .
Everything on my ends almost wrapped up .
Give me another week , and Ill come visit you like to see this girl for myself .
Really Youll be here in a week ? Noelles eyes lit ups .
She smiled so brightly it showed in her voice .
I cant wait to see you , Brandon .
Its been way too long He laughed again .
Then you better look forward to it will she replied with a happy hum .
Thave things to take care of now , so 171 talk to you later Okay , bye , Brandon Goodbye , Noelle Once the call ended , Noelle carefully tucked the necklace back into her shirt .
She noticed Elsie was still staring at her chest , so she reached out and grabbed the girls hands , swinging them gently with a teasing smile .
Elsie , I think Adriel really likes you .
Elsie blinked , confused , then tilted her head again , making Noelle laugh .
Shed made up her mind .
She was going to befriend Elsie and use her to win Adriel over .
Smiling warmly , she said .
Lets get along from now on , okay ? Elsie didnt seem to fully understand , but she smiled back and nodded .
Mhm At the Atoraka Nowedon Laboratory , Reid had just finished reporting on his current assignments .
Thats everything for now .
If theres nothing cle , Ill take my leave .
But just as he turned to go , Brandon called him back . Wait .
Yes ? Reid stopped and turned around .
Brandons expression was calm , but his voice carried weight .
Look into Adriel .
Theres a transformer with him one from the Serpaton Mocita Alliance Lab Shes with the Anderson family now .
I suspect Serpatons up to something .
Investigate .
Serpaton Morria Reids expression turned serious .
Understood Two hours later , Reid returned , urgency written all over him Brandon looked up at the file in his hands .
You found something ? Yes , Reid replied , face grim .
He handed over the documents .
Adriels been overseas on business .
A month ago , there was a massive explosion in the area he was stationed .
The girl he brought back the transformer was the only one rescued from that blast .
The official report blamed it on a flammable gas leak , but several of the bodies pulled from the wreckage were clearly transformer subjects .
Some of them were even from our own lab .
That incident was quickly buried , but we took a closer look once we realized wed lost some of our own .
We reviewed the emergency signals that were sent out during the explosion .
All of them had one thing in edinmon Brandons is gaze slurprised .
What did they say ? Rejil hesitated , his face pale .
They all said the same thing Help me .
