Prelude to a home

[tillallareone]

1)
[With the events taking place after the latest engagement, Optimus has finally decided to act upon something he had been pondering for a while now.]

Commander Antov, if there is no trouble I would like to discuss something with you.

[Well whatever it is, he's taking it up with the commander... the results thereof...]

2)
[Are shown on a worldwide broadcast. Similar to Hetepheres announcing the Gebians, Optimus has revealed the presence of the Autobots to the world. A number of ESUN officials of course already knew but this time it was all out in the open. The reason for this wasn't just to have an alliance out in the open, but also a deeper reason than that.]

Arrangements have been made with the heads of the Earth Sphere United Nations to allow my people to build a settlement on Earth. In a show of good faith in the hope that our two species can work towards a future in which we stand together, we offer those who have been displaced by war or tragedy a place of safety to rebuild your lives.

We have felt the pain of such as that for many millenia. We will do our best to help those who have suffered the same.

[This was why. Not just to build a safe haven for Autobots or Cybertronians who want to flee from the war, but for people on Earth who have suffered.The talk carries on for a long while, many questions asked - some things people knew, some they didn't. Optimus deals with the questions with surprising patience despite how outright offensive some of them got.]

(OoC: While this is primarily a mingle/react prompt, you can also choose to speak to Optimus after the speech.)

3) [Frontdated to a few days later] [Keep to one thread]
[Optimus and a few of the Autobots have went to survey the site that would be the birthplace of Autobot City. Already construction crews are working, but that was not where the Autobot Leader was. Rather... he and a few people from the Unity Group who are with him are investigating some strange energy readings coming from a small cave network down below the construction site.]

Carefully now... it is quite difficult to maneuver here... Wheeljack... is this where the readings are originating from?

[The Autobot scientist's voice rings over the comms.]

"Positive Optimus. And from the looks of it its only getting stronger. What I don't get is the patterns... they look really familiar but I just can't place them..."

Rising Flags

[ugyuuya]

[1]

[Yuuya and the Argos flight have been scarce for UG group functions outside their required duties and today is the day it's revealed why as they announce the Blue Flag excercises out of the Yukon base. Several flights have made their presence known from around the world including the Bao Feng flight from China and the Infinities from the United States. As the festivities begin to kick off the units are on display parked in formation and the flights are welcoming guests and providing photo ops, including a rather tired looking Yuuya who seems on edge.]

[The mock battles aren't the only reason for so much excitement at the Yukon base either. There's a big ceremony going on concerning a new "fast-response" brand of machine finally getting the clear for combat usage too. Although not taking part in the mock battles, exhibitions to display the machines' capabilities are scheduled. Before long those displays begin, the "Breaker" models taking to the sky to show off their maneuverability and speed... announces and various individuals involved with the program talking abut the breakthrough "RE Drive", a scientific marvel discovered by someone outside of the ESUN who nevertheless provided them with the details of creating them. But duing one display, several Breakers engaging in complicated maneuvers with each other, someone speaks up nearby you.]



You know what's funny? Up until about two weeks ago they were still trying to fix the defects in their fancy systems. I'm willing to bet any of the project heads are still sweating bullets and praying that there aren't any more gremlins biding their time.

[And the Mock Battles begin! Knowing that the Unity Group has been working with TSF test flights for several operations and that they may want to participate as well there are training weapons available in a wide range of forms and functions. For those with mecha less capable of using the pain equipment there are also several production units capable of using them available for use by anyone with proper piloting credentials.]
