Autobot City

[tillallareone]

[1] [Mingle Post]

[Construction of the city was going pretty well from what you can see. Residential areas for refugees of both species had already been constructed for the most part with work crews continuing to construct everything else that was required. Already a few small businesses crafted by both human and cybertronian have sprung up along the slowly growing buildings. Though there was some friction and discomfort, both races got along well for the most part. Off in the distance you can see shuttles landing ever so often, either carrying ESUN work crews, supplies and observers or a few more Autobots in varying condition.]

[But one has to ask, what are you doing in this slowly growing settlement?]

[2] [Security Woes] [Red Alert]



-THUD- -THUD- -THUD-

[Anyone passing by the 'office' of the Autobots Chief of Security in the hangars of Sakihama would find him continuously dropping his head into his large, makeshift desk and making everything that was on it rattle precariously. Between the numerous betrayals (Ingram being the foremost important one given his rank), lack of care for proper security protocol (Sarah and Ken) and the horrific security nightmare that was sorting out the influx of human refugees as well as the ESUN members coming in and out of Autobot City it was easy to say that he was not having a good day at all.]

-THUD-

[Red lets out a noise that sounded halfway between a scream, a sob, a wheeze and a large amount of mechanical static as he just lays his head on his desk. This. This is the sight of an Autobot that has just had way too much to deal with.]

[3] [Education] [The Young Spark]

[For those of you remember how that excursion into an underground cave network beneath Autobot City went and are interested to know the current status of the spark that was found, you would find it in what would be the Cybertronian equivalent of a creche. Already fitted into a containment unit to allow it continued existence until its body could be built as well as a brain module it would be educated and slowly learn how to operate the systems of a body through a set of sensors and rudimentary limbs, though sadly it has yet to be able to speak. Still though somewhat slow and careful it is extremely eager to learn, and when its sensors catch sight of you it pulses excitedly as if happy to see you.]

[How are you helping in the development of the new life and enriching its existence?]

[4] [Interview with an Earthling] [Rewind]



[As you go through your daily routine, you'll notice an Autobot - one of Blaster's cassette robots in fact waving at you. Letting out a momentary stutter of Cybertronian, he pauses for a moment before looking at you sheepishly despite the lack of visible facial expression.]

Sorry about that, was just so used to talking to other Cybertronians so much I keep forgetting to switch languages.

I'm Rewind, and I'm hoping that if you don't mind... you could let me interview you for a while for a video file I'm putting together for any Autobots coming to Earth.

[A small, black-haired head pokes out from a ventilation shaft in the office.]

'Hang in there'....uh...'Stick with it'..um...'Success comes to those who persevere.'

[Red Alert slowly raises his head before looking irritably up at Eva.]

And that's just another thing I need to speak to the security teams about. I gave them fifteen different requests to restrict access to the vents.

[He presses his hand to his face and slowly moves it away - the sound of metal grinding screeched through the air.]

How and why are you still doing that Barton?

[brought_it_back]

There's always a hole somewhere.

[Eva spools out a line of cable from the vent, and begins sliding down it towards Red Alert's desk.]

Some of the buildings on the outskirts have not been fully updated yet, and construction team delta has not changed the building plans from the old model. The interconnected vents of the city are dangerous, but navigable if one is patient.

[She reaches the desk, and steps off onto it.]

It relaxes me, and provides some benefit to you-the situation may be frustrating, but I set off...three alarms, on the way in. An intruder could enter the city, but not easily escape.

[Had he lungs, Red Alert would be sighing now.]

Fourteen Memos, thirteen messages and twenty two calls and they STILL haven't done anything. I'd speak to them personally if I could even-

[Yeah, that's a bit of a problem when the teams are in areas he can't fit in. his jaw clicks shut before he just tries to calm himself.]

But what if while Security were chasing the alarms you set off, their attention gets drawn away from alarms in other locations? The response teams could be running all over the place with no idea which contact is an actual threat and be spread too thin!

[brought_it_back]

This city possesses more firepower than many nations, and has an unusually large military population. I don't think you need worry about that, today.

Overall, espionage actions by various human governments and agencies seem most likely. Direct attacks and sabotage, less so.

[tillallareone]

Less likely doesn't mean they won't happen. There needs to be preparation for situations like that.

[brought_it_back]

Indeed. Someone should go around at random intervals and examine the security systems for any exploits. Then, they should detail those exploits to the head of security...

[tillallareone]

... Just ensure the reports are sent as soon as possible so I can actually do something.

[Like Kagura, Red Alert has honestly run up against the wall of what he can take. At the very least though Eva was being helpful.]
