Optimus Prime knew a state park was probably not the smartest location for a meeting. After all, it was open and it would be quite easy for Megatron to send a spy. However, the location had not been his choosing and Optimus had decided to respect the humans and meet on their terms. The only the way the alliance worked was being willing to meet some of their requests. It had be a partnership. He didn't want the humans to think the Autobots were dictators.<br/><br/>"I hope so."<br/><br/>Optimus replied to Prowl. The death of General Kozik had been a tragedy. He had been a good soldier and a good man. It would be hard to replace him. Optimus did not sit as they waited. Instead, he took in the sites. He shook his head at Prowl's question.<br/><br/>"No, I didn't get much from them."<br/><br/>All he knew was that the new task force leader was a woman and obviously she had an impressive military background to get her new position.<br/><br/>"Have patience, Prowl."<br/><br/>Optimus told his Autobot. While he preferred people, Cybertronian or human, to be punctual, there was no point complaining about it. All they could do was wait. At Wheeljack's question, he said.<br/><br/>"Perhaps the new general wanted to remind us what we are fighting for."<br/><br/>Not that Optimus could forget. He only wished they had gotten here sooner, before Megatron had started to build his empire. They had stop the Decepticons before more of this planet was destroyed. Earth could not suffer Cybertron's fate. He heard a vehicle approach and stepped out in front of his comrades to greet Kasey. He was surprised to see her alone, other then a driver. He would have thought she would brought herself back up. He looked down at her.<br/><br/>"It is an honor to meet you as well, General Williams. This is Prowl and Wheeljack."<br/><br/>Optimus said, introducing her to his Autobots.<br/><br/>"I wish we could have met under better circumstances."<br/><br/>While Optimus did like meeting new human comrades, he wished it wasn't because others had passed on.
