[video] Backdated to the early days of the event
[The video comes on in the middle of one of the recent battlegrounds, camera display (relayed optic-view) bobbing as the 'bot it belongs to runs along. The sounds of battle and low calls of the largest of monsters are distant, but after a few moments one of the smaller, faster beasts catches up with the speeding cameramech.
The bot deploys a glowing energon-axe as he jerks to avoid a blow, sparks flying off scoured armor, before dispatching the weaker beast with an awkwardly returned slice, not breaking his stride even when he has to leap over the still-glowing pieces.]
-This is Optimus Prime.
[Admittedly, he'd hoped to stay quiet, to largely lay low for a while and see how this newest inter-dimensional kidnapping played out. Perhaps it was benign. Perhaps he would not be needed.
...Unfortunately, he hadn't exactly counted on a full-scale invasion.]
Anyone in the South-western quadrant, adjacent to Prima's Northern-most borders may want to remove themselves from the line of fire, unless they are prepared to defend against two converging waves.
A large group of creatures made up of approximately twenty to twenty five of the heavier-class individuals are making their way into the next quadrant over- Alpha Trion's territory. Another group, possibly newly-arrived of almost the same scale is coming in from the center of the junkyard.
[Alpha Trion. A First-Forged. The view wobbled briefly as he shook his head. That was still...unbelievable.
Not that he had time to contemplate it. The Prime abruptly skid to a halt as he reached the top of a ridge, ducking down, voice lowering. Another large group of beings were on the other side.]
...I will be attempting to lure the bulk of this group and the one still on my tailgate into the junkyard, away from the facilities. If anyone is in the area and able to assist, I would appreciate it.
[A short nod. Right then.]
Prime out.
[And the feed cuts.]

ALL THE LATES
What is your location? Were you attacked by the creatures?
no subject
I think everyone's been attacked. But no, I've got the plague.
So does Pharma.
no subject
...I'm sorry. Plague?!
no subject
Plague. Red Rust. It sort of...melts your insides and you leak them out.
It's...not very nice.
no subject
I'd say not.
[Understatement of the megavorn. What does he even SAY to something like that?]
...Are there no treatment options? Have the firstforged been able to help?
no subject
And Pharma is working on a cure, but, well, no hands.
[So, yeah, complicated.]
no subject
[But still. URGH!]
Can anything else be done in the meantime?
no subject
Pharma's working and it's just...inconvenient, right now. [In a puddly way.]
no subject
But if you or he need anything I might be able to help with, contact me.
[Even if Optimus does not want to know about these 'puddles'.]
no subject
[Drift is so very well aware how gross he is.]
And you, as well.
