User blog:Bzero/Chromia - Castle attack

Chromia appears in the captured command center of Castle Decepticon, still looking a bit beaten up and tarnished from the battle to capture the fortress, as well as new injures from a more recent skirmish. She is, however, unbowed, and her silver face is hard with determination as she gives her latest report.

“Last cycle the ‘Cons instigated a raid on Castle Decepticon. Aside from weakening our defenses, they seemed to have two goals – wiping the fort’s mainframe to keep us from getting any intelligence from it, and freeing the prisoners of war we’d captured while claiming the citadel. With the assistance of siege weaponry and infiltrators they managed to free their prisoners, but quick action by Tonka prevented them from wiping their harddrives before we could get what we wanted.

“The Decepticons are obviously preparing for a major attack to retake the stronghold. Since it has little strategic use to us, I plan to abandon it if we start taking losses and then detonate the explosives we’ve laced it with since taking it over. If we time it properly, we can trap the invading force inside when we blow the keep. If Elita or Prime have any additional orders for me, I might need to hear them soon. In the meanwhile, I’ll prepare for the inevitable attack. Chromia out.”
