User blog:Bzero/Optimus Prime - The Return of Optimus Prime

The spinning Autobot symbol fades to reveal Optimus Prime himself. Calm and centered once more, he's replaced his mouthplate and resembles his old self once more. In a deep, tempered tone, Optimus states, "I'm pleased to report that thanks to the work of Backblast, Scales and others, I am back to my old self once more. As the new director of Iacon Medical Center, Scales will be administering the nucleosis cure, first to other commanders and medical personnel, and then with their help, all other Autobots affected."

With an appreciative tone, Prime continues, "I offer sincere thanks to Aegis, Elita One, Chromia, and Star Saber for keeping the light burning while so many of us were afflicted with nucleosis. It is good to know that even if I should fall, others are there to ensure the Autobots remain an ongoing force for good. With my return, Aegis and Star Saber may return to their previous duties - Elita One and Chromia, however, need to remain on Cybertron to bring me up to speed on what I've missed while quarantined in Iacon Medical," Prime chuckles.

"I have no intention to countermand Aegis's existing orders," Prime contends. "However, should you require update or clarification, you may feel free to seek me out once more. I'll remain in Iacon for a brief time for follow-up medical testing, and then I intend to return to Earth to review our defenses there. Spike, if you and Ultra Magnus could meet me in Autobot City in the weeks to come, I would like to speak with you about ongoing operations there. You have been operating independently for quite a while now and I wish to offer additional support.

Prime's voice turns grave. "For now, Imager remains missing and Ratchet is in critical condition. Please keep them in your thoughts until they are recovered and healed. 'Til all are one." Prime ends the transmission.
