User blog:Spikewitwicky/September 6, 2017 - Spike's Journal Entry



I'm back home, but I took DJ to help out with hurricane relief, along with Typhoon. For anyone who may be reading this in the future - hopefully way into the future - Hurricane Harvey slammed into Texas. Death toll is high - around 60 - but not near the horror and devastation that you saw with Katrina, though environmentally, it was pretty similar.

We were stopped by Cobra because, again, if anyone will stroll upon this in the future - right now, Cobra occupies a number of cities in the United States. I didn't realize how foolish I was to bring DJ down here. Cobra was there. And I didn't realize this, but it dawned upon me later...I had the son of Flint and Lady Jaye in Typhoon. True, Typhoon could have easily overpowered any Cobra creep, but I'm sure if Cobra Commander were to have heard that the son of not one, but two of his sworn enemies was there alone for the taking...let's just say, I'm guessing that Viper would be out of a job.

The Joes seem to have every angle covered in this rescue operation.And I mean every angle. A few days ago, I met a guy who was only in the states for a few days...and his main specialty...shit you not...is rats. Yes, he has a bunch of trained rats to go out and sniff out mines. Another guy acted as the veteran of said rats. Crazy.

Back on Cybertron, because, again, if anyone reads this, they should get a bit of a history lesson, and just not the boring happenings of my life - there's this Autobot named Encore. And he specializes in energon, specifically brewing. It's like he's half a brewmaster, and half one of those potions experts that Daniel or DJ would go to in one of their video games to attack an enemy. And much like Earthen spirits, they are far too many variations to go into now. Some high grade. Some aged. Some new. Some to make you feel aggressive. Some to calm you down. Seeing his operational base was like going into a massive brewery, but if said brewery was run by Dumbledore.

Also, so you know (and who knows, maybe no one will read this stuff) - just as we're catching our breath for Harvey, it looks like EDC is going to ramp up again. There's another hurricane bearing down and threatening the east coast. This one's name is Irma. Spikewitwicky (talk) 18:22, September 6, 2017 (UTC)
