User blog:Bzero/IC Post: SG-Cyclonus – Dark Times

Cyclonus appears on-screen, the burning anger in his optics nearly eclipsing his flame-red armor. In his deep, resonant voice, he begins, “With Megatron lost to us, it is now more important than ever for us to pull together in his absence. Instead, we seem to be fracturing more by the nightcycle. A false prophet claiming to be Alpha Trion has seduced several of our most trusted officers away from our vision for the salvation of Cybertron. Our movement’s very founders have been compromised by this charlatan.

“Commanders Bug Bite, Razorclaw, and Starscream are all missing, evading custody and believed to be consorting with the Autobots in the Temple of Knowledge. All have been stripped of command and are to be arrested on sight. Enforcer and Takedown, I want you to work with Venom and go through our ranks, weeding out any more possible defectors. Krunix, report in with what you’ve learned spying on our enemies in the Manganese Mountains.

“In the meantime, all security procedures are to be changed and overhauled to prevent further infiltration. A curfew is to be instituted throughout Polyhex, and until Megatron returns, Skymount has been rechristened Darkmount to reflect that fact that this is our darkest hour.

"One small note of comfort – I am in discussions with Autobot commander Elita-One about a temporary cease-fire until the Junkion invaders have been repelled. I will report on our ongoing process.  ‘Til all are one.”

The screen goes dark.
