User blog:Bzero/Floodlight - Intelligence Report

Floodlight appears in a low-lit corner of Trypticon’s communications room. She smiles anxiously. Clearing her vocalizer, she squeaks, "Floodlight here, reporting from Decepticon City in Tarn." She sits up a little straighter. "With Soundwave out of service, I’ve done what I can to gather what intelligence we have and get it into the right hands - including yours, of course, Commander Cyclonus." She grimaces sheepishly.

"The Autobots continue to fortify Iacon and Retoris, although I believe they are more concerned with the Fallen than us. They’ve largely abandoned Kalis since it was partially destroyed by the activation of the planetary engines, but there are potentially useful resources left there. I’ve examined flyover scans and have pinpointed potential fuel depots and ammo dumps that may be ripe for the taking. I can take a field sweep if necessary," she nervously volunteers.

"Harmonex remains officially neutral, with a weak protective forcefield only certain people have been able to access. The frozen forms of Imager and Soundwave remain there for Commander Overlord to collect. Examining their condition may assist us with our Nucleosis investigation. Field agents are working to collect further information from our ‘allies’ in this regard." Floodlight doesn’t offer further embellishment.

"Tyger Pax has been completely reformatted to its appearance before the Great War. It’s gleaming and new with minimal defenses. The Autobots surely plan to reoccupy it but if we move quickly we may be able to preempt their efforts. I’ve uploaded scans of the new structures and highlighted potential attack vectors. Naturally I’ll leave actual military planning to our commanders, but if any further information is needed I will collect and provide it." Floodlight nods her large head and makes a small ‘mm!’ sound.

"Valvolux recently rebuffed another attack by the Fallen. Valvolux’s guardian Bulwark damaged the Fallen badly with the help of the Autobots and the Dominicons and then led the Fallen away from the city. The Autobot reinforcements withdrew once the altercation ended. Knightmare was badly injured and may be unable to form Dominicus or defend the city. With both heavy-hitters down now might be the best chance to make another play for the city if desired," Floodlight reports.

"There have been no recent sightings of Impulse or Nightshade, but I will continue to monitor both intercepts and field reports. With optics all over Cybertron they shouldn’t be able to hide from us long." Floodlight clenches one of her tiny fists and tries to look stern, mostly failing. "With the backing of Decepticon Intelligence, no target may elude us. For the Empire!" Floodlight raises that tiny fist and holds it awkwardly a moment before lowering it to shut off the recorder.
