User blog:Bzero/Iacon Disappearances

Ironhide appears in Camp Zero. Behind him, refugees from all over the planet can be seen huddled together in tents and temporary shelters. “Ahrn-hide here,” he drawls slowly. “Investigatin’ the disappearances in Camp Zera. Seems lawk earlier this cyba-week somethin’ crawled out of th’ sewers an’ attacked a Mini-Cohn named Sprahte. Left a trial o’ energohn leadin’ back to th’ sewers... an’ this.”

Ironhide turns the camera around to focus on a symbol drawn on the camp wall: the sigil of the Quintessons. Ironhide’s familiar voice continues over the image. “The perpetrator set off an alarm in Sprahte’s tablet to summon security, an’ then led Dust Devil an’ Vigil down under the city – straight into a number of laughin’, non-lethal oil an’ paint traps. It seems like whoever it is is playin’ with us, Prahme – which might be good, if it means we can find Sprahte alive.”

“Worst news,” Ironhide’s voice continues, “Is that three Arms Microns - L.P., Sou, and S.2 - have disappeared from Quadrant Epsilohn – which means if the same perp took ‘em, then they’ve made their way deeper inta th’ city. I might need some help searchin’ th’ area – if you don’t mind, Prahme, I’d like to bring Red, Downshift, ‘an Cuffs ta Iacohn ta help look for whoever’s tryin’ ta make us look baid. We sure ain’t afraid, but I don’t want ta see anyone else get hurt.”

The camera turns to look up at Ironhide’s rugged face again. “I’ll do what I can, Prahme, to keep this city an its citizens safe. You can count on me, Prahm – I’ll get your people back. Ahrn-hide, out.” The transmission ends.
