User blog:Bzero/Tarn, Jetfire, and the Dominicons

Megatron appears in shadow, recording from the throne room of his castle in Kaon. Only his silhouette and the burning crimson of his optics can be clearly seen. In his deep, gravelly voice, he records the following:

“The Autobots have paused in their attacks against us, and I can only assume they are preparing for another big push. Tactical analysis suggests they’ll next hit Tarn – the ruins surrounding our new base there would limit civilian casualties, and they may falsely assume that since the base was relatively recently constructed its defenses will be weak.

“Starscream, schedule continuous aerial patrols over Tarn’s airspace to anticipate and interdict any planned attack. Shockwave, prepare ground forces for possible assault. Soundwave – direct all intercepted Autobot transmissions to me immediately – I want to know what the Autobots are doing at all times.

“On another matter – the former Decepticon Jetfire has decided to return to the fold, but the Autobots are preventing him from rejoining us. If you become aware of where they are holding him and have the opportunity to spring him, do so – with as many Autobot casualties as possible. He has valuable information and technological data we can use before we destroy him for his treachery against us.

“Finally, in regards to the Dominicons, who have been raiding both Autobot and Decepticon outposts and generally been making a nuisance of themselves – if you encounter them, report in immediately with information as to their whereabouts, and if you do not have the necessary firepower to take them alone, wait for backup before engaging. They are dangerously misguided, and must be brought in or destroyed.

“You have your orders. For the glory of the Decepticons!”

The transmission ends.
