User blog:Bzero/Cassiopeia – Decepticons Attack Valvolux

Cassiopeia appears behind the desk of Around Cybertron, broadcast worldwide on ABN. She smiles brightly and reports, “Last night the Decepticons launched an attack on Valvolux, and the damage was pretty brutal!” Over her shoulder a video pops – an aerial shot of Valvolux. A large part of the city walls seems to have just been rotted away. “The Decepticons were driven off, but not without a number of Autobot casualties! We cut to Weatherbot Mesocyclone, on the scene!”

The image changes to a perky pink robot, standing in front of a busy group of Autobot laborers. “I’m here in Valvolux, where the Autobots are already rebuilding, after heroically driving off the Decepticon attack!” Behind her, a blue and orange minibot glances up and her and scowls, but ‘Cyc doesn’t seem to notice. “Already new city walls are being built, and before long the defenses will be better than ever! These guys are really giving it their all!”

Mesocyclone bends down to interview a pair of Micro Transformers, who pause their work to eagerly talk to her. A screen graphic identifies them as “Hammer and Sledge.” Hammer talks excitedly. “We have to work fast,” says the small grey, orange, and purple Autobot. “The Decepticons could attack at any moment!”

“It’s OK,” Sledge chimes in. “When they attack, we’ll be ready for ‘em!” he claims, swiping his fist in a low arc to emphasize his point.

Mesocyclone stands and smiles into the camera, “So that’s the story here on the ground. The Autobots are up and ‘em, and ready for whatever the Decepticons can throw at them!”

The image returns to Cassiopeia at her desk, who laughs merrily. “It sounds like it, Mesocyclone! Well, keep us informed, and,” Cass smiles even more widely, if that’s possible, “And we’ll do the same here at ABN! We now bring you to the Northern Pass, where turbofoxes are making a surprising comeback!” The news marches on.
