The Danakil Desert is a desert in northeast Ethiopia, southern Eritrea, and northwestern Djibouti. Situated in the Afar Triangle, it stretches across 100,000 square kilometres (10,000,000 ha) of arid terrain. The area is known for its volcanoes and extreme heat, with daytime temperatures surpassing 50 °C (122 °F). The Danakil Desert is one of the lowest and hottest places on Earth. It is inhabited by a few Afar, who engage in salt mining. Local geology is characterized by volcanic and tectonic activity, various climate cycles, and discontinuous erosion. The Danakil Desert has a number lakes formed by lava flows that dammed up several valleys. Among these is Lake Afrera, which has thick saline crusts on its banks. The area is flanked toward the east by the Dancal Alps, a tabular mountain system that has a few volcanic cones which peak in height in Mount Ramlo (2,130 metres (6,990 ft)). A plinth of salt up to 800 metres (2,600 ft) thick can also be found in the Salt Plain flatlands. Other local lakes include Lake Asale (116 metres (381 ft) below sea level) and Lake Giuletti/Afrera (80 metres (260 ft) below sea level), both of which possess cryptodepressions in the Danakil Depression. The Afrera contains many active volcanoes, including the Maraho, Dabbahu, Afdera and Erta Ale. (Sorry, I just got this of Wikipedia, after all, it describes the place better than me)

The desert looks lonely and hot, sand and dust does together with the wind. Everything looks motionless unless the boiling watter of the small lakes in there.
A failling unknow object appears in the uncloudy sky covered by some flames. Maybe it is a metheor close to land in a place forgoten by god. After some seconds the unknown object falls in some metter away from the boilling lakes. the ground shakes a little making some rocks t fall. The impact wasn't powerfull at all, only enough to scare the almost non existing animals in the place.
The object starts to move, it is a stasis pod containing a very armoured Cybertronian in there. The servo with it's big claws starts to move outside scratching the stasis pod. Another servo with claws raises from the same pod and tries to grab something else to let the cybertronian get out. After some minutes the blue Cybertrnian gets out and looks at the place. Where am I', and what is this place? Whispered to herself. The femme started to walk dizzy through the place. The boiling water of a small lake moves under her pedes. With her optics she focused at thre ground and the ground surface of the place. Sulfur and anther toxic gases could be smelled from the lakes. She transforms into his cybertronian jet mode and flies over the zone, but she isn't able to fight for a long time, so, she only gets a view of the desert. After her flight she lands and untransforms. HEr energon amount inside her body is only the enough to keep her alive and no more.
The surface of this planet reminds me a place I visited and I don't want to remind, but this enviromet is really dangerous..I need to find a way to get out...
The pod got broken by the landing impact. Pieces scatered.
The femme tries to fix the pod or find something a bit of energon. Saddly, in there only is a pile of trash in the middle of a exotic desert. Her body can barelly keep here standing up, so, she kneels.
Well, if I have to die slowy in a place like this, I'll do some of my favorite hobbies... She get a small box from the stasis pod and started to collect small rocks of many kinds.
Well, this feels better... maybe, if I contiue like this I would find a bit of energon She would continue crawling and collecting the rare variety of minerals and salts in there. Sudenly, she finds a kind of rare rock that takes her full atantion. Energon?... here? Primus, if you're trying to make me to belive in you, I have to say that is a great attempt... but isn't enought to me! She follows some rocks tracks crawling as she mumbles a song...

A few kilometres away, a dune stirrs. - Oof... So dusty... Can't a mech take a stasis-nap in peace?!
The dune breaks open to reveal a big, grey mech with hazard stripes scattered over his body.
- It didn't get in my servos and pistons... Good. I hate it when dust does that.
I spin my wheels to shake off the dust.
- Now then... Let's find some Energon.

The femme continues following the rail of rocks and with her claws taps the ground from time to time. Energon...please, get out as soon as posiblle, please...damn, I'm getting crazy...really crazy After some minutes she starts to lost the rock trail, Her face looks worried and her energon her is getting lower. This makes her look exahusted and sleepy.

He stretches.
- Urgh... That stasis nap was too long.
Two pistons snap in place, and he relaxes.
- That's better...
He humms a song as he sets up a scanner for Energon, the pieces appearing as he needs them.

She lays down looking at the sky, tired, without any kind of comunication. A beep starts to be heard from inside, indicating the amount of fuel that is nearly finished. Anyway, she does not give up so easily and begins its search again, trying to find the rock trail. Come one..I know I can.. I don't want to end like a lot of crap...

The sensor is set up, and shows an Energon field right beneath him.
- Well, would you look at that.
The sensor starts beeping, because it sees one moving spot of Energon.
- Hm? What is that?

She continues looking for some sign of energon. After some attempts she finds a small crystal in middle of sulfuric and salty rcoks. some metter away another small crystal can be founs, so close of the thermal lakes. The feme sues her last energo n foul to run and start do dig around the zone. The watter close of her could be boiling but she doesn't take care of it., some medium crystals starts to apear in middle of the diging ground. Energon, energon!

- And it's being dug up, too... I'd better investigate.
I dismantle the sensor, store it, transform, and head underground.

The femme gets some energon crystal, She loosk euphoric, but she forot that her energon amout is close to finish. So, after pick some energon, her body starts to work slowy and her optics light starts to turn off. HEr servos drops the energon crystals as she is starting to get in stasis.

I emerge close to the femme, and quickly see what you need.
- Urgh... You there. Can you answer me?
I walk over and kneel next to you.
- This Energon is mine. If you promise to leave, I might patch you up.

THe blue femme looks at the mech and says in a serious voice: This energon is mine, only mine! After those words her gets motionless. Her energon fuel isn't enought to make her to do anything, but her spark continues working as well

- Huh... Wrong choice.
I take some of the crystals, and put them in my chest, where they get refined. From my storage dimension, I take a few canisters of refined Energon, and I inject you with it. I now know you will recover.
- I'm sorry it had to go this way. But, this here's mine. Because I'm online to say it. I know you can hear me. So... I'm telling you what I'm going to do: I'm going to drop you somewhere in the desert, far from here...

- I don't have time for this!
I draw a rifle and aim it at you.
- I don't let anybot die. No Autobot, no Decepticon. Now get out, with or without my help. You have enough Energon to make it out of here!

I watch you go.
- Law of the jungle, buddy! I'm the strongest one around here. And I paid you! You couldn't have refined the Energon in time. I saved your life. Sounds like a deal to me!
I put the rifle away, and start drilling for the Engeron.

Did I ask you to save my life? I don't see you and continue walking, looking another energon source and studying the evyroment. Law of jungle, I've heard that a lot of times, but I'm keep thinkig in some place of this chaotic universe is ruled by laws, fair laws

I tune in to a human radio station as I'm digging. The reception should be bad, but Cybertronian receptors have no diffulty with it.

I contiue tracikng another rock trail around the zone, but for all that I can see, it only goes to lead me to a small energon mine, maybe, to only a medium crystal of it and no more, but I don't regret it, after all, I really need it. Meanwhile I continue collecting the new crystals and minerls I find to my collection.
