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..."

I'm not sure what we're supposed to do here. Transformers come to life in a very different way than humans.
But there's someone who knows.

Bumblebee, I need you to go back up and lead Ratchet and the others here.
[The smaller Autobot replied with an affirmative, almost stumbling on his way out and hurrying back to the surface.]
As for how it came to be... hotspots are a natural phenomena, but as far as I have known they only occurred on Cybertron and its moons.
For such a thing to occur on Earth, especially after everything that has happened...
[Optimus looks at the Matrix once more.]
Perhaps it is a sign...

Are you crazy?! It's an alien artifact that does you don't even know what! What you do is get away, not touch it!
Well, it's going to be born. You have to be kind to newborns. Welcome to Earth and everything.

And... I feel it is more than that Ken. Its a sign that working with humanity had always been the correct decision.

That is not a kid, that's a ridiculously strong energy source! It's making my circuits tingle just being nearby!
Hush you.
[And Ashe jumps and sits nearby and basically pets the alien crystal like it was an egg about to hatch, with not a hint of fear or queasiness.]
You know, it's rather pretty from up close. Hey there little guy. You really didn't pick the best moment to come up, but don't worry, Earth's pretty cool.
...wait, do we know if it's going to be a guy or a girl?

I suppose it would be their decision once they have a body.
[Ashe, the feeling under your fingers is... odd to say the least considering the species its tied to. It was most definitely warm and without all the talk, just by touching the Spark you could feel the life within it.]

How much time left before this new... baby robot comes to life? And is there anything we can do? This is not a normal situation after all.

Hey look, she likes it!
So what, it's "she" now?
Well, until she decides, I'm going to go with she. I always wanted a little sister.

[Ken turns his attention to the spark, still in mesmerised.]
But this place... there would be more to come from it, right?
From:
no subject
I do not think I can ask for anyone better for the task.
[Optimus couldn't help but chuckle in a good natured manner at Ashe's antics. As for Ken's question...]
That is a distinct possibility Ken. If anything this area and any connected cave networks may require close observation.

Don't worry, Optimus, I'm going to be a really good example!
An example of what, being suicidally reckless?
But if you think there could be more in the nearby caves, I can go have a look. I'm good at finding stuff. [The Hunter winks]
