User blog:Bzero/Aegis - Command Reaction

The mysterious Aegis appears on screen, her expression grave. In her slight Vosian accent she reports, "The assault on Ratchet so soon after our most recent infiltration is more than disturbing. Ironhide - I need a complete overhaul of Iacon’s security practices. These attacks must stop. Question Electra and report back immediately. Someone is breaching our defenses and it’s looking more and more like an inside job. We need to find the mole and shut them down.

"Flareup, with the additional reporting by Dust Devil I assume the dragon you witnessed must be Bulwark leading the Fallen away from Valvolux. In the meantime we can’t leave that city undefended. Kup, unless Chromia has counter-orders you have my approval to bring command and control officers to Valvolux to assist in their training and defense. It might not be much against the Fallen if he returns but we cannot simply sit back and do nothing.

"Benin-Jeri, your silence in regards to the Requiem Blaster left us dangerously uninformed. If the Fallen had gotten a hold of the Blaster, Primus knows what kind of destruction he could have wrought. I’ll leave your discipline in Chromia’s hands but in the future I require that you and your team be more forthcoming with your activities. We Autobots have more than our share of heroic ‘go it alone’ types. Put your ego away and ask for help when it’s needed.

"Spike Witwicky - good job with Fortress Maximus. For now he will stay and defend Iacon in case the Fallen or the Decepticons come calling again. Remain on Earth when possible and try to get your wife Carly to assist in running the EDC while Commander Faireborn is indisposed. For now the Decepticons are focusing on Cybertron and outer territories, but we can’t leave Earth undefended. Takedown, send Operations personnel to Earth to assist Spike in helping G.I. Joe rebuild damaged areas of the US.

"Tote, we need Imager back. Bring in Nightbeat and whomever else you need and find our lost refueler. Chromia, make sure our defenses are ready and divide up teams to patrol our satellite bases and vulnerable neutral territories. Jetfire - work with Star Saber and find out to where the Decepticons are expanding and what we need to do to stop them. Try diplomacy first, but if that fails, we need to be ready to apply force when necessary."

Aegis’s frown deepens as she leans forward to look into the camera. "Times are dark, Autobots, but we will prevail. We cannot allow the attack on Ratchet slow down our race to cure our people from nucleosis. Skids, use your division to assist Scales in anything she needs. The rest of you, pull together and keep your heads up. Alpha Trion had a plan," she says cryptically, "and Optimus Prime will return. ‘Til all are one." She ends the transmission.
