User blog:Bzero/Lightspeed - Stolen Data

Lightspeed appears in the Iacon Observatory. His handsome face looks troubled, but he tries to sound positive. "Well, good news," he reports. "I've analyzed our data breech and figured out what The Swarm was after. By examining the information that was stolen, I've discovered something we'd originally missed."

Lightspeed brings up the datasets, and renders them as images of Cybertron's night skies. "Several objects were launched into space from Decepticon territory. They didn't target any Autobot or neutral regions, so they weren't flagged by our systems.  One of them, however, intersected the Conrad's course, here:"

Two paths are traced in space, and a bright light flashes where they cross. "Shortly thereafter, everyone aboard the Conrad was killed. Another of the objects impacted on the Planet of Junk, and is likely the cause of the recent problems there.

"I'm tracing out the rest -- if I can find them in time, we might be able to get ahead of The Swarm and maybe prevent more loss of life. I'll continue my data analysis and report back the moment I track down the rest of the objects.  Lightspeed out." Lightspeed turns and is already working again on the problem before the transmission ends.
