User blog:Bzero/Around Cybertron – Attack on Trion Square

Cassiopeia appears on-screen behind the ”Around Cybertron” desk, the expression on her golden face somber and subdued. A box over her left shoulder shows scenes of Autobot medics carrying injured soldiers and civilians into the Iacon Medical Center, interspersed with shots of Trion Square on fire. With a muted, even tone, Cassiopeia delivers her report:

“Iacon is still reeling from an unexpectedly vicious attack that took place in the very heart of the city. Late last cycle an explosion ripped through Trion Square, injuring dozens of Autobots and civilians and doing extensive damage to the shops and infrastructure in the area. The assailants, later identified as the Seacons, then waded in to attack the survivors with hand weapons. Cassiopeia pauses, then smiles slightly. “Thankfully Optimus Prime himself was on hand, and with a team of Autobots with him from a nearby dedication ceremony, he drove the Seacons out of the city, although they remain at large. Security forces led by Prowl are investigating the incident, as well as how the Seacons managed to get in and out of the city though tunnels beneath the state.

“We’ll continue to give you live coverage as the story progresses. This is Cassiopeia for ‘Around Cybertron’.” The screen turns to more footage of the damage done to Trion Square, with shots of Hosehead, Hot Spot, and Inferno putting out the flames while medics continue to treat victims both inside and outside of the overflowing Iacon Medical Center. The coverage continues all cycle.
