Grapple stands out on the warm, dry Autobot City landing pad. Behind him, construction workers stand on scaffolding, adding new layers of armour to Metroplex’s buildings. Grapple looks tired but in good spirits. The artistic architect offers this account: “This is Grapple. I’m pleased to announce that Autobot City is back in business. While not yet fully repaired and armoured, we have enough working that personnel can start transferring back from the Ark. The Roboto-zoo is still closed to the public, and civilian visitation is restricted, but most medical and military functions of the city have been restored. I want to thank everyone who made this possible.”

Grapple’s smile falters slightly. “The only bad news is that Teletraan II is still down, and Metroplex’s higher functions are damaged worse than we’d originally thought. If it wasn’t for Windblade we wouldn’t be able to communicate with him at all. Rest assured, however, that we have our best minds working on the problem, and soon Metroplex will be back up and running as well or better than before. Grapple out.” The transmission ends.
