User blog:Bzero/Valour - Kansas Oil Raid

Valour appears on-screen, recording from Decepticon City’s communications room. He looks seriously injured, but he remains composed and professional during his brief report.

“Decepticon Aerospace Executive Officer Valour reporting. Last night Scourge and I accompanied Commander Starscream on an energon raid deep into enemy territory. The Autobots’ response time was amazingly fast, suggesting that their surveillance of our launches from Decepticon City have improved. We were met by a resistance group led by Jetfire, who Starscream engaged in personal combat and soundly defeated.

“However, I was not as successful in my part of the mission. Although creating and amassing a large number of energon cubes, I was attacked by at least three Autobots and my energon supply scattered. I was able to fill my tanks and reservoirs and carry back several cubes, but the rest of the gathered energy was captured by the Autobots. I accept full responsibility for my mistake and will be sure not to allow it to happen again.

“Interestingly, one of the foes I faced is not one I have encountered on Earth before. It was quite stealthy for its size, and was able to shatter and reassemble itself to avoid attacks. It was a quite interesting foe, and I am uploading footage to Trypticon’s mainframe for further analysis. If Commander Soundwave or Scourge wishes to debrief me on this new threat, I will make myself available as soon as I complete repairs.

“Valour out.” The screen changes to uploaded video of Valour’s attack by a large, shape-shifting arachnoid, from Valour’s point of view. When the video is complete, the screen returns to the report menu.
