((Optimus/Optronix's first appearance! here))
There he is. Sitting in front of 3 monitors, keying and wading through third party reports and the occasional data on some small "incident" at Kaon.
But other than that, it's all routine to Optimus.
That is, until a few days ago, there has been a lot of noise pollution outside of the Vault... possible a few miles from here. It seems strange, since being near the Forum of Enlightment has always guaranteed peace and quiet, the way this passive but slightly uptight(been that way lately) archivist. But knowing how those rowdy tourist from halfway across Cybertron can occasionally cause a ruckus, He'd let it pass, and work, work, and work as usual...
And then he hears laser blasts being shot here and there.
"By the Source!" He jolted. "... since when were they allowed to bring weapons to this area!?!"
Curious, he initiated system lockdown and ready's the auto-backup in event of some freak accident, like blaster fire hitting one of the data storage units in the Vault, and cautiously walks down. It pays to be careful this days.
"Optimus to security. What the slag is going on out there?"
No response. He tries again, but still no response. Now this is worrying. But against his better judgement, he decides to walk out to the balcony...
And sees not the Forum of Enlightment... or the Iacon he's used to seeing. What he sees in front of him is Cybertron turned into what he thinks is a battleground. He looks at the situation with such bewilderment, not believing what he's seeing.
"...I shouldn't have come out."
