My fellow Decepticons, the time has come to step up our efforts to complete the deployment of the Geothermal Actuators. Further expeditions will be planned to areas of high geologic activity on this planet, including earthquake zones and areas of high volcanic activity. Once the key weak points of these areas have been determined, the Geothermal Actuators will be placed there and set off simultaneously, unleashing this planet's contained internal energy for our use. Billions of astroliters of energy will be there for the taking, and we will be ready with energon cube collection points to make full use of it. We will bleed this planet dry!

During these expeditions, Autobot or human interlopers will likely be drawn to our work sites. I will make this abundantly clear: you are NOT to engage them. You will let them make the first move, and if they attack, then you are free to show them the error of their ways, as well as causing as much collateral damage to neighboring human settlements as possible. Such actions will go a long way towards influencing public opinion, which we have discovered is a powerful force among the flesh creatures of this planet. The more we can paint the Autobots as the aggressors in this situation, the more time we will have to seal their doom!

I will be personally leading an expedition to analyze the San Andreas fault in the human state of California. I anticipate this to be one of the largest sources of energy released when we set off the earthquake these pathetic humans have been fearing for so long. The medtech division will begin work on collectors to convert the kinetic energy generated by the quake into energon cubes. Similar collection devices will be needed for the geothermal energy unleashed by the volcanic sites. We will not leave a single drop uncollected. In the meantime, the aerospace division will prepare plans to provide defense during the expeditions in case of attack. It is imperative that we gather this data to achieve maximum effectiveness of the Actuators.

Glory to the Decepticons!

Decepticon Activity Spooks Tourists
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - Park Rangers took steps to evacuate tourists and campers from Yellowstone Park after reports of Decepticon activity in the area. Rangers confirmed that members of the transformer faction had landed at several sites around the park, including Old Faithful and several hot springs. "At first we thought they were going to start collecting those energon cubes, but instead they set up some pieces of equipment and began taking readings and scanning the ground and surrounding geology." one ranger was quoted as saying. "We made sure to keep everyone out of their way, but after about an hour of just examining the place, they flew off." 

Although no reports of damage to the park or nearby towns was reported, a general feeling of unrest has been reported in towns that surround the park. "If they're after the park, there's no telling what could happen to us if they start collectin' energy or God knows what else!" said one local gas station attendant. Local power stations have increased their alerts in case of attack, but thus far there has been no sign that the Decepticons intend to return at this time. This fact has done little to quell local fears, and the confusion about the Decepticon intentions remains high. - AP
