Autobase - Conferencing Hangar

[tangled_metal]

The setup is one that was planned for some time ago, but never used more than once or twice: scaffolding and monitors, cameras and microphones and encrypted hard-lines. There is space here for one mech to speak to multiple humans face-to-face, both in the flesh and on the screen; there is room for others as well, to wait their turn as needed. In

Optimus Prime retakes the podium. It's important that humans get used to the other Autobots, in case... well. In case.

"This is the best intelligence we have, analyzed by sentients with the greatest experience in the field dealing with this opposing force. Our reports have been sent as well, in greater detail, by hand, in case Soundwave has already infiltrated - which we project at a 95% probability."

"This is one of the greatest threats your world has ever faced. But we have pledged that you do not stand alone. We are fewer than they, but that has always been the place of the Autobots, since this war began. I regret that it has come to your word. If I could change it, I would, but the choice was made by fate long before any Cybertronian touched your world, when the Allspark crashed here. But we are here to help. It is our responsibility."

"I do not sleep; if you have questions concerning this, I am available constantly to answer them. The Autobots do not sleep, and we will be ready to move at five minutes notice to take action. We are all gathering here, so that at any time we can roll out."

"Are there any further questions at this time?"

There are a few murmurs, but eventually they dissolve to the shaking of heads. "Not at the moment," says the American representative. "Thank you, Optimus."
