[Priority Broadcast][Video - backdated to Wednesday]
[The feed opens to a view of Megatronus Prime, a bloodied sword in hand. He gives it a hard flick to clear the worst of the gore from his blade, and a chunk of what used to be one of the monstrous centipedes flies off and knocks a nearby Acolyte in the head. It stumbles out of frame. Megatronus doesn't pay it any mind and addresses his audience:]
I imagine few of you will argue with me if I say that our guests have overstayed their welcome. Hospitality has its limits, after all.
[Besides which, he certainly never invited them to visit in the first place. Rude, centipedes. Very rude.]
When the creatures of the Badlands haven't the sense to retreat of their own volition, I find that a concentrated application of brute force is often enough to convince them of their error. My kin and I have determined that these monsters are likely led by a demon hiding at the core of an offshoot of the Badlands – if you've wandered outside of the Haven, you've likely noticed the approaching darkness. That is where we will be applying our force.
- and when I say 'we,' I don't simply mean my brothers and I.
Refugees, I call on you for volunteers who can fight; failing that, I'll accept volunteers who think they can fight. Anyone with a skill that would serve them well in combat, or those capable of supporting combatants. What you lack in size or experience can be compensated for through other means. I am willing to offer what gifts I can to those willing to fight in order to improve the likelihood of your... success.
[Survival. The word he means is 'survival.' Dragging Refugees to the heart of enemy territory often ends poorly for the weaker members of the group, but it's a necessary sacrifice.]
Unless, of course, you'd all rather be subject to regular attacks within the Haven. For those of you that care enough about your friends and your place here to act, I will be waiting for you in my arena. The Acolytes will direct you if you cannot find your way.
If you bear my Glyph, I expect to see you there.
[OOC note: there's a companion log to this post up over here for those who want to sign up their characters and collect a temporary boon ICly!]

no subject
[He's not displeased, though - it's a fitting attitude, for an organic who carries his symbol.]
no subject
And a lot of things are bigger than me, especially around here.
It'll be a nice step up from avoidin' them.
[He might feel like he has a little something to prove here. Maybe.]
no subject
[Which are, keeping in mind the size issue, pretty solidly stacked against Marvelous. But that's all part of the fun of the challenge, isn't it?]
Have you fought any of the creatures yet, then, or have you simply been hiding from them?
no subject
[The ship isn't just for show, Marvelous would be quick to point out. But using the Galleon's robot mode in the Haven had been at first impossible, for the blow to his fuel reserves, and then really just unnecessary after his systems had been switched over.]
no subject
How have you been fighting them, in that case?
no subject
[Of all of the First Forged, Megatronus is easily the least irritating. Marvelous likes a guy whose standards are so pleasant to meet.]
no subject
And, on occasion, he likes to encourage the more worthy among them. Marvelous has been agreeable the few times they've spoken.]
It sounds as though you're performing well for a lone organic. Nonetheless, if you require an additional means of attack, I can provide one.
