User blog:Spikewitwicky/January 23, 2015 - Spike's Journal Entry



Gave up writing these in the morning, because dad 's always up at least a half hour before I get up. Seems like the only time I can write anymore is when Megan goes to bed. We're at an Econo Lodge. We buried Alpha Trion's plasma energy chamber key yesterday. It's encased in a detect-proof box. I feel like I need to be back there, but given that A3 told me that this thing pretty much could save or destroy a world, I thought it's probably best just to leave undetected. The Decepticons (and more than a few Autobots) have called us humans weak and overly-sentimental. And now, that very emotion is going to prevent that asshole Galvatron from obtaining this device. Yeah, I'm sentimental. That's why I hid the device in the last place mom, dad, Buster, and I were together - at a drive-in theater.

Dad's helper bot continues to grow and evolve. Thanks to Ratchet and Blaster 's personality upgrades, it literally feels like another person is with us right now. Dad's certainly taken to him.

We're going to take a few more days off while this entire Galvatron thing is brewing to lay low. Thought this would be a good opportunity to head to Washington to see Aunt Judy and Uncle Ron. Dad hasn't seen them in almost a year. And dad's time on this Earth is finite, I know. But he seems to be doing great. Obviously age has slowed him down, but on his best days, it's like it's 1993 all over again. I'll call Carly tomorrow. She's loving her job in Houston. I just wish it were closer. But she's doing what she loves. She's certainly sacrificed enough for this family. She deserves all the success she earns.

Closing thought/take: I'm worried about Optimus. If Galvatron comes to Earth, I know he's going to pull that ridiculous "honor calls for a duel to the death" card. I keep hearing how far advanced the Transformers are, but this "fight to the death" stuff sounds awfully 19th century in my book. I don't care if Cybertron code calls for Optimus to accept the challenge. He is NOT fighting that psycho to the death. He already reduced Megatron to paperclips, and he's very likely cheating - using something to cause him to be that freakishly powerful.

OK, off to study for the medic exams. Then about 5 hours in the car before we make it to Ron and Judy's tomorrow.
