[Frontdated to a day before the mission takes place]
No matter where on Earth you are, the ground underneath your feet rumbles. The sensation lasts for a mere moment, but not too long after everyone is called for an emergency briefing. And this time, the situation really calls for it.

"Is this being recorded? Good. We may not have much time so I'll keep it short. Did you listen to Fleet Commander Britai's warning about the Bodolza Main fleet coming? ESUN did, and built a Grand Cannon to deal with it. Shame they couldn't predict everything..."
The World Eater, Unicron, arrived in the Earth Sphere. The newly christened Grand Cannon fired upon it - but its firepower was not enough to penetrate Unicron's thick armor, and the giant retaliated. The rumble was from the cannon and everything in its vincinity being destroyed.
And THEN the Zentradi arrived - with the Boddole Zer class flagship (the small dots around it are normal Zentradi ships). They folded in nearby Unicron, probably using its massive form as some kind of beacon.

"The good news is Zentradi and Unicron are hostile to each other. The latter destroyed any of the former that got too close, and even with that, even now they keep on trying to attack it. The bad news is that each of these threats is still individually powerful enough to end all life on Earth - or Cybertron. Yes, that planet is where Unicron's heading. The Zentradi are spreading around, but their main force is slowly but surely making its way towards Earth. Everyone who has a space fleet is mobilizing theirs, setting up a shared defensive perimeter as we speak."

"Let's consider the defensive fleet. It is, optimistically speaking, a hundred times smaller than the Zentradi force. I don't see it lasting very long, hmm? What we need is a sneaky, clever plan that targets weaknesses of our enemies - both Zentradi and Unicron. Commander Britai, a minute of your time?"
A handy screen begins a transmission - the Britai fleet is allied with humanity, and a connection is established to its flagship.

"Yes. As I informed your leaders already, standard Zentran procedure when the acting commander is lost is to withdraw. Moreover, Bodolza's soldiers had almost no exposure to Culture. These are their weak points, but exploiting them will be extremely dangerous."

"Exactly the kind of operation Unity Group is needed for, then..."
