User blog:Bzero/Megatron – New Orders

Megatron stands in the command center of Decepticon Headquarters in Tarn. Behind him, Constructicons continue their rebuilding efforts following the attack by Metroplex on that city. Megatron himself seems to have recovered from his encounter with a driller below ground and Knightmare above. If anything, he looks angrier and more determined than ever. His fist clenches and his crimson optics narrow as he addresses the camera.

A cruel smile touches the corner of Megatron’s mouth. “Starscream – have your Seekers patrol Autobot supply routes to and from Iacon. Use the hit and run tactics you so enjoy to harry them constantly while minimizing our own losses. Launch airstrikes against any pilgrims or refugees approaching Autobot polities – I want it known that association with the Autobots brings only death and destruction to those that fraternize with our enemies.

“Soundwave, even after your recent defeat, I am placing you in charge of Decepticon Intelligence as I have other uses for Cyclonus and Scourge. I want the Dominicons found, as well as the location of their base. Shockwave, be ready to move with your Assault Infantry as soon as the loathsome turncoats are found. Knock Out, I want every cybermeter of Trypticon inspected and repaired – he is the linchpin of my plans to retake Cybertron.

“Decepticons,” he addresses his mechs and femmes, “our hour is at hand. Trypticon has returned to our ranks, and Cybertron swells with energon, ripe for conquest. Each of you will have a role to fill on our coming triumph. Traitors and would-be usurpers will be captured and put to death, and the Autobots will be vanquished once and for all. After Cybertron is quelled, we will travel outward to conquer the galaxy! The time of the Decepticon Empire is upon us!”

Megatron puffs up with pre-emptive accomplishment, and the transmission ends.
