Shockwave was wrapping up the finishing touches on his ultimate creation.
The perfect Decepticon Warrior, powered from a spark stolen long ago, and implanted into a body built to his specifications.
The body was equipped with curved blades that could pop out of her servos and he had specially modified this body to allow it to channel it's own energy and turn it into a weapon.
All designed to turn this new breed of the Decepticons the perfect killing machine, To lay a final blow to the corrupt senate.
When his assassin was ready, Shockwave flipped the switch, allowing Energon to flow through it's veins.
The protoform blinked. The first thing it saw was Shockwave's emotionless face.
"You are now online." Shockwave said coldly "What do you know?"

Energon coursed through Shockwave's creation, slowly stirring it to life. Before the gaze of the Decepticon scientist was a relatively petite femme for a Decepticon with lilac and silver-colored armor. Her helm was sleek except for a few small pointed spikes decorating her helm. She was clearly built for stealth as opposed to strength, but perhaps looks were deceiving. For the most part her appearance wasn't initially threatening. As her optics fluttered open, they gleamed with a pinkish-ruby color and she seemed confused and disoriented as she gazed up at the purple Decepticon with one glowing emotionless optic.
Whether instinctively or pre-programmed, she was aware she had been asked a question, and felt compelled to answer despite having just come into consciousness.
"...I... I know I am awake?" Her words were slow as she tested out her voice box. As more time passed she began to have thoughts. Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here?

Shockwave took in his creation with awe. It had clearly identified as female. This was perfect, the female form was better for stealth. No one would ever see her coming.
"Yes. You are awake." Shockwave confirmed.
"I am Shockwave, I am your creator, you are my creation, my personal assassin," he explained,
"Now I repeat, what do you know? What is your name?"

It took a moment for the femme to comprehend the words spoken to her, as there was still a fuzzy feeling in her processor from recent consciousness.
“…Shockwave?” She paused at the next word, attempting to search her memory banks for reference, “My purpose is to be an assassin…” Despite saying the word, she had yet to fully comprehend what this would entail.
Then there was the same question Shockwave had asked before, this time it seemed slightly impatient. “…I know I am your creation and an assassin,” she sounds unsure if she’s answering correctly but knows not of the concept of consequences to incorrect answers. “My name?” This one is difficult for her as she struggles to search her young mind for the answer. “…Q-11N I think. But…. I think Quinn is more suitable?”

"Your designation is Q-11N, and do not forget it," Shockwave said coldly.
He inspected his creation, "But otherwise you are correct. It is good that you know your place young one, You will be my finest weapon against the Autobots".
He swerved around and gestured with his hand. "Now come with me. It is time to practice your skills."
Shockwave took Quinn to a custom-made training room. Shockwave flicked a few switches and holograms of Autobots appeared all over the room.
"Before we deploy you into battle, we must first test your weapons capabilities. Now go." Shockwave ordered.

The femme lowered her helm slightly in submission at his cold reply. “…Yes. My name is Q-11N..” she replied, albeit disappointed with his decision.
Quinn obediently followed Shockwave through the halls. She was searching through her memory banks to glean information on ‘Autobots’ and why they were her creator’s enemies. As she entered the training room she observed the various holograms which were to be her practice targets.
Having literally been just born, Quinn struggled with figuring out her internal controls for her weapons. “…I am not sure how to?” As she spoke, she felt a slight twinge of fear, although she wasn’t sure why.

If Shockwave could have he would have scowled. How could she not know? He made sure she got the relevant data upon activation.
"Focus! The information is in your memory banks! Q-11N I order you to attack!"

Quinn jumped as Shockwave barked orders at her, filling her with adrenaline and panic. With her new sense of urgency, Quinn searches her memory banks and finds the data she needed. A long sharp blade extend from each of Quinn's wrists and her optics lock onto the holograms before her. She charges at the holograms and instinctively slashes at each of them across the neck.
After running them through, Quinn pauses, waiting for Shockwave's next words.

Shockwave was furious. Q-11N had completed the task and used the weapons well but there was one problem.
"Too slow." Shockwave said coldly, "Get it right or not at all. Are we clear?"
Shockwave pulled out a small button and pressed it, a shock shot through Q-11N's system.
"Now. Do it again." Shockwave ordered as he set the course back up.

As she turned to see if Shockwave approved of her completion of this task, Quinn was taken by surprise as an agonizing jolt of pain wracked her frame, causing her to stumble to her knees. Her ruby pink optics were wide and she struggled to catch her breath. Quinn tried to comprehend what had just happened to her and looked towards Shockwave to notice the small button in his servo.
..He did this to me? She thought, realizing there were in fact consequences to disappointing Shockwave.
Quinn got to her pedes and solemnly went back to the starting point of the course, now spurred on by the fear of more pain. "...Yes, Shockwave," she said blankly, before dashing forward as fast as she could, cutting down the targets with more vigor this time.

Shockwave coldly noted Q-11N's performance this time.
"Better." he said "But still could use improvement. You need to be perfect if you are going to take on Autobots."
He took out the button again.
"Now run the course four more times," Shockwave ordered, "If you fall behind your previous time, I will not hesitate to shock you with even greater power. Go."

Again? Will I ever be good enough for him?
As her optics saw the button again, fear motivated her once more. Quinn continued to run the course, pushing herself harder and harder each time. During the last run, she was afraid she wouldn’t beat the previous time, as closing the distance between targets would cost her.
She pulled from her memory banks and suddenly glowing shards of purple energy appeared on her forearms. With a swift motion, Quinn shot them at the targets surrounding her, hitting each one.
Tired from expending this much energy, she couldn’t help but feel her knees buckle. Quinn struggled to remain standing and she fell onto her knees. Out of fear she braced herself for another shock, terrified she had disappointed her creator.

Shockwave looked over her creation.
"Perfect performance Q-11N." he complimented, "You have done well."
He then grabbed her by the throat, "But know this, do not let yourself become complacent. That leads to weakness and failure."
Shockwave released her and she dropped to the ground, "As a reward, you may ask me any three questions."

A brief wave of relief washes over Quinn at hearing she's done well. This relief is broken by the sudden pressure of a servo around her throat and her frame being lifted up. She clutches the servo instinctively as she stares into Shockwave's yellow optic, his threatening words searing into her mind.
Quinn manages to choke out a few words, "...Y-yes, Shockwave."
After she's released by Shockwave, Quinn's frame lands back on the floor where she attempts to regain her composure. She looks up at her creator slowly, realizing this would be a normal occurrence in her life.
Quinn thinks carefully before asking her first question, "...Shockwave, why do you need me to kill Autobots?"
In asking her question, Quinn’s tone of voice is of hesitation, as she is still nervous asking anythingof what she could consider her ‘master’
