William Lennox’s Rules For Humans of NEST
WL Rule # 1 – Do not be afraid to ask the Transformers for reasonable help on or off the battlefield.
WL Rule # 2 - NEST team members should not lie or encourage 'white lies' in their fellow soldiers and never to the Transformers.
WL Rule #3 While NEST and the Autobots are part of our lives, do not let it become your only life. Marriage and children with a separate home are possible, even in this war. Hard to do but worth every effort.
WL Rule #4 Don't bug the Transformers with stupid, silly human size ideas. One of them #%Q% off is not worth satisfying a question of curiosity. Their weapons are bigger, their reach longer and you cannot run faster than a targeting lock.
WL Rule # 5 - Do not underestimate the size, speed and power of Cybertronian weapons.
WL Rule # 6 Transformers try to blend in with us and our customs but are not human. Their actions reflect their concern for our well being, not that they share our weaknesses.
WL Rule # 7 Transformers look like cars but their parts are not available at the local parts store so don't assume those parts are easy to replace or adjust.
WL Rule# 8 Never prank a Prime unless you know he will laugh at it. You do not anger the biggest, most war experienced, intelligent bot and expect to use the excuse, 'we thought it would be funny,' and expect to remain online.
WL Rule# 9 Never upset a budget liaison without being prepared for the consequences. They have no sense of humor and your budget can be cut down to cardboard boxes, two screwdrivers, crayons and a shoelace. MacGyver we are not. NEST needs weapons and replacement parts.
WL Rule# 10 Do not underestimate a wife or girlfriend's strength or temper just because they seem nice when around us. And remember to warn the Transformers! They think their vast knowledge and handling the femmes of their race equips them to handle ours. Don't let them get killed because of that.
WL Rule# 11 Just because we understand the Transformers and think they are wicked cool doesn't mean everyone else will. Forget secrecy and national security, they deal with enough without screaming fan girls, conspiracy theorists and the media wanting to prove they exist and why they should return Elvis and Bigfoot.
WL Rule# 12 Experience, skill and commitment are more important to Transformers than delegated authority or assigned titles. Bumblebee is their youngest and best scout. Older or bigger does not always mean better but never tell Ironhide, Chromia, Optimus, Elita and Ultra Magnus that.
WL Rule# 13 We have been fighting for thousands of years with ever increasing rules and official procedures. To the Transformers, survival and their friends are all that matter. Everything revolves around that, not following procedures. They follow our rules when they want for our sakes, not because they have to obey or are under our control. Never forget that.
WL Rule# 14 The Autobots can research any and all information on our behaviors, likes and actions from the internet but information does not mean they understand what we are doing. Never assume they know what to do based on the why behind a situation.
WL Rule # 15 Any changes to Annabelle's possessions using Cybertronian technology must be cleared with Autobot command and both her parental units, no exceptions. Including piggy banks.
WL Rule# 16 Do what it takes to survive in a Transformer battle. No handheld weapon or body armor we have comes close to theirs. The Decepticons are faster, stronger and could care less if our entire planet is toast. We are brave enough to be on the battlefield, smart enough to know when we are outgunned and clever enough to find a way to survive even if it means retreating.
WL Rule #17 Our race is not known for sharing or intelligent decisions. Do not let idiots ruin our relationship with the Transformers. They have saved our world and will die before letting us, why should we not do the same for them?
WL Rule #18 Do not expect the Transformers to be emotionless, logic driven robots. They suffer loss, feel joy and pain, know hope and have endured thousands of years of war. You would treat a fellow soldier with respect when upset and the Autobots more so.
