Dammit, here we go again. Don't these Reavers ever shut up? ...and cue Zombi!
*taped applause*
...I don't care what the warranty says, that is definitely NOT a silent setting!Greetings, peasants!
We have our airwaves back again! These interruptions are really damaging my ratings! What exactly does Soundwave actually
do around here? May as well just employ Blaster and go back to voicing over hip-hop YouTube virals…
What? The Reavers? Ugh. OK,
whatever.
So, like, our specialists over at The Senate headed up by Mal Practice, Starsurge and that barrel of laughs called Perceptor have released an in-depth analysis of the Infection. They have determined it is a modified strain of the
Hate Plague that befell Cybertron many centuries ago, and in light of these recent annoying broadcasts by those Reaver basics, they have imaginatively named it the ‘
Brood Virus’.
Seriously? That's the best they could come up with? Even Hard Wired could do better than that and he is literally a shambling corpse!Anyway, it consists of nantes of non-Cybertronian origin that have been cybernetically engineered to adhere to our
CNA, the chemical strain within our sparks that give us life and free will, and simply reprogram us to serve these Reaver douchebags like a badly-rooted iPhone.
The nerds are still working on a detection method and are using the samples taken from the twelve identified as 'resistant' to formulate a cure, but they claim these tests need time. Personally I'm pretty sure if they all stopped arguing like a pair of Predacons in heat for more than a breem we'd have the cure already...
The one thing they have said that is
actually of use however, is that the resistant twelve have a far better chance of bringing a team back from inside the Inferno than the rest of us, so to try and concentrate exploration around these individuals:
KludgeBehemoth, Orobus, Colossus Prime, Shunt, Rioghan, Mendem, Pandaemonium, Suspiria, Tarantulas,Nosferatu, It is however worth nmentioning that the original 12th member, Emergency, may have been 'accidentally' stabbed with a contaminated scalpel when Mal Practice found out she was defecting to the Autobots with the Warhawks, so can no longer be considered 'resistant'. In her place we've dumped
Nemesis Wheelie into the mix as he is so annoying that no one actually cares whether he is controlled or not.
Meanwhile, in related news, both factions have sent recon teams to monitor the mouth of the Inferno in the almost-certainly-futile hope that they can head off any Reaver Brood that strike out in an effort to begin the invasion of our home early. Reports from the front vary, with our
spies contacts in Iacon claiming that there is little to no reported activity as yet, whilst the rumour mill in Kaon says that
NAIL’s, that's Non-Aligned Indigenous Life-forms to everyone else, are beginning to arrive in increasing numbers and are even attempting to enter the Inferno itself.
All we can do for now is hold our ground until either the Geek Squad stop dicking about and actually do some work, or the Reavers begin their offensive and hope the 'undiseaseable dozen' can tip the balance. Either way, I'm going to put my little rampant rabbit paws up on the Toaster and enjoy the show!!
Til next time! Zombi out.
Oh, and that buzzing you might have heard is obviously Hazard...
Campaign for Cybertron: Extinction
Round 2 - The War of Violence
Round 2 begins TODAY!
This is a WAR round.
Watch for the special missions, you'll know them when they appear!
Rules this time are simple:
If you see a Campaign mission, enter and try to win it.
No need to post every victory, we got toys backstage for that now, just concentrate on getting the win!
The Seibertronian Accord is irrelevant as NAIL (all non signed-up players in this case) involvement also counts, so make sure you get in those missions fast!
Results will count regardless of how many players are in them, unless they are empty in which case the Reavers will gain a win!
Additional reward game for signed up players only:
Twelfth Knight.
Any mission
victory with one of the 12 characters listed above
from their own faction in it can be posted here. The faction with the most posted wins that include one of the 12 will get a bonus at the end, which will be doubled if their faction also wins the war of Violence.
Each mission can only be posted once, so work together!
The Seibertronian Accord will be active, allowing the outnumbered faction to choose NAIL commanders as Drones to even the sides.
There will be a prize for the faction that wins each competition, and these will give a strong hint of the final reward at the end of the Campaign.
You have 24 hours to sign up for the forum game (8am Sunday UK time), but the war starts as soon as the first mission appears!
As always, put your questions and signup posts below and once the Twelfth Knight game starts, feel free to brag, taunt and smacktalk away!!
Enjoy!
