User blog:Bzero/Aegis – Domestic Orders

The mysterious image of Aegis appears on-screen, in a message recorded in an undisclosed location. The pale Autobot Seeker has a soft voice and a thoughtful frown. Through the recorded medium she announces, “As Star Saber focuses on galactic defense I will assume command of domestic operations until such time as Optimus recovers.

Aegis continues, “Ratchet, you are to be given every resource available to find and cure the ravages of Nucleosis. No harm is to come to Pharma – however, I more than authorize the seizure of his research for use in finding a treatment to this hideous malady.

Prowl, take a small contingent of ground forces to support the defenses in Valvolux. Keep the rest on alert to defend our installations on Cybertron. Wheeljack, we need you to develop weapons that can specifically counter the Fallen – Backblast has shown some interesting results in attacks that target the dark energon that fuels him. Work with him if possible.

“Jazz, I need to know the Fallen’s location and his movements. Do not engage him, but keep tabs on him as much as possible. Ultra Magnus and Spike, the defense of Earth is in your hands. With threats on every front, we need to enhance our mobility. Skids – Windblade was able to access Metroplex’s space bridge and us it to transport the entire battle station between planets. Find out how. We could use that with Grapple’s latest project. Also work on shorter one-way interplanetary bridges if possible.

“With so many of our command staff felled by Nucleosis, we need everyone to step up and do their part. I will do what I can to help. Project leader Aegis, out.” The transmission ends.
