Our Masterminds were taking over GDI, and we bumped into you, and we realized we look kinda similar:

We are both butt ugly and cool.
We want to make friends with our long lost buddies - do you accept?

Sincerly,
The Overlord.

[commandergoldeneye]

no, you can start multiple projects a day, as long as your overall number of projects is remains four or below.

[commandergoldeneye]

EVENT: INSIDE THE SHIP.

You decide you want to visit botht the control room and the generators, but you decide to stay as a group and take the control room first.

On your way you note that the ship doesn't seem to be of planet origin, it doesn't seem to be made of any recognised material. it also seems beat-up.

Finally you get to the control room, and see that there is back-up power working in here. Some of the computer terminals are working, and your researchers get to work seeing what they do. One notes that the main generator is heavily damaged, meaining the ship may never fly again. There is enough power to sustain the shields and the lighting, but the only way to know how long for is to go to the generator and check it out.

You are about to make your way when a researcher calls out. he's been reading the ships logs and has found references to " a great beast" in the generator room. Well, you think, that explains where the crew may have gone. Do you still attempt to get into the generator room or do you just pack up and go?

[Enigma]

*shudder*

Well, into the breach we go, then?

[Facade [TVTP]]

Aye, then in we go...The Arbiter and I have our own array of weaponry and skill. Also we have guards at our side.

Alright...We're in..and from what we've heard...there is a large Life-Form reading further into the ship...probably a savage beast....I have called 2 Stealth Troopers to tranquilize the beast if they get a clear shot at it...and if it doesn't eat us first...

At meteorite crash site

[Gah, forgot to remove casualities!]


Log:-Prime
Thankfully, we got word of the Maange attack before entering range of the camp. We we too late to aid our fellow Autobots in battle. My spark is relieved that none of their spark chambers have been penetrated, we will be able to fully restore them after some extensive work. I have started the micromasters back at home on reconstructing their bodies. These 49 aircraft are all of the flight-capable autobots I could commandeer for this mission. This is an important lesson, we are not as invulnerable as we think.

The Ore-13 processing technology is completed, which will make the engines and energon-based weapons of my and the Black Hole Army's troops much more powerful, at least for brief spurts.

To Everyone at the Meteor/Mystery ship Crash site
*************************************************************
My abortive diplomatic party and I have arrived. I gladly add my own blaster to the cause of our defense. While we cannot enter this vessel, our energon intended for negotiations may come in handy to power it. My two micromasters are the appropriate size to enter, and can help you assess the feasibility of our fuel. It is my hope that the eventual success of this mission is the beginning of a powerful alliance. I look forward to meeting so many leaders face-to-face.

This terrain is hostile to machines and mechanical beings alike, I recommend we leave the crash site as soon as possible, even a short flight to a more defensible position would decrease further casualties. We must also seriously consider our long-term options with the Maange.

Till all are One,
Optimus Prime
**************************************************************
Facade
********************************************************
I would first like to thank you for your invaluable aid. My Aerialbots alone would not have been able to hold the line. I am saddened by the loss of life. I must say, that this hot environment is not working to our advantage. My ground troops are particularly weakened, as we cannot fly to more comfortable altitudes like our winged brethren. I wish we could fit in that ship and take care of your pest problem. You may want to back up those tranquilizers with blasters.

It is good to hear that the targetmaster project is going well, I believe both of use can benefit from truly smart weapons.

Till All are one,
Optimus Prime
***********************************************************
To Carter
************************************************************
Good news my friend! Our Ore-13 processing machines are complete. I am unsure how to implement the use of this resource, as prolonged exposure is not conducive to Cybertronian sanity. Would you find one unit of production an agreeable price for a unit of ore-13, which can boost performance for one vehicle for an hour?
Till all are One,
Optimus Prime
********************************************************
[OOC: I more or less buy the upgrade and can stockpile for use in battle, saying something along the lines of " I give ten autobots 2 units each of ore 13, increasing their combat effectiveness 30%" or I give my shuttle-bot 50 units of ore-13, he arrives in half the usual time. If you think this is a bad idea rules-wise we can think of something else]

Begin Transmission

To Autobots, SC United, IRTA

First of all, we would like to send deepest apologies for any losses that troops you sent in my aid have taken.

Secondly, we would like to say that you are amazing soldiers, and any reasons to keep the peace have been bolstered by the last few day's fighting.

Thirdly, we shall thank you all by handing over technology for Raptors, Flak Cannons, and Lightning Guns to all of you. We hope that this will more than make up for any losses experienced.
