Summary of Developments: The Shadow of Vigilem

The Arrival of the Flagship

In the early hours of January 3, a massive Cybertronian flagship entered orbit over the planet. The vessel remains an enigma; it has ignored all communication attempts and has not yet engaged in hostilities. However, its presence has put planetary defense forces and high-level intelligence on high alert.

Intelligence Report: The Aborted Vigilem Operation

An infiltration mission led by Howlback and Garboil was recently aborted. While the original objective was to destroy invasion data within the titan Vigilem, the team discovered intelligence so critical that it necessitated an immediate emergency extraction.

Key Discoveries Inside Vigilem

The intelligence gathered suggests a terrifying escalation in enemy capabilities:

• Spark Harvesting: The team confirmed the use of a massive spark extractor. The sparks stolen from the Hot Spot are being processed immediately.

• MTO Mass Production: Unlike standard drone manufacturing, Vigilem is mass-producing high-end MTO (Made-to-Order) style frames.

• The Thundercracker Clones: A dedicated foundry is churning out specialized aerial units based on Thundercracker’s chassis.

• Numbers & Scale: Approximately 200 harvested sparks have already been integrated into these combat-ready bodies. The report estimates that the sheer output of these assembly lines likely gives the enemy numerical superiority over the Kaon garrison.

Moving day!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that tomorrow (Sunday, October 5) I will be moving TFU over to my hosting service. The process will begin at rougly 10AM EST, so any changes made after that time will not be migrated. The move shouldn't take more than a few minutes, but there could be some delay when I move the DNS over to my host. With that being said, if you haven't updated your clients, please point them to tfu.mu-world.net 1976 to avoid any connection issues moving forward.

WHEN CHAOS REIGNS, THE SERPENT RISES

The transmission flickers to life, revealing COBRA COMMANDER, his chrome mask reflecting the cold blue light of his command center. His voice carries the weight of megalomaniacal destiny: "My most ILLUSTRIOUS lieutenants of COBRA! While the world's so-called 'leaders' wring their hands in bureaucratic impotence, WE shall be the architects of humanity's salvation! And naturally, its subsequent subjugation. "DESTRO! Your strategic acumen serves us well. The Trench-Vipers shall fortify Spitsbergen with the efficiency that only COBRA engineering can provide. Bayonet's arctic expertise may yet redeem his previous... disappointments. The frozen wastes shall be his crucible of redemption - or his frozen tomb! "INTERROGATOR! Your Nebulan intelligence proves most illuminating. While you secure Earth's genetic legacy in the arctic vault, our operatives delve deeper into that alien world's secrets. Soon, we shall have both an ark AND its crew! Mirazh - acquire us a specimen. I want to know EVERYTHING about these technical parasites! "ZARANA! Your assessment of the Supreme Court's corruptibility is deliciously accurate. They wear their price tags like medals of honor! Take Cesspool - his corporate machinations will ensure our influence spreads through their chambers like a perfectly legal poison. The Baroness awaits your triumphant report. "BARONESS! Dr. Fujiyama's Nightbird technology will elevate our Ninja-BATs from mere machines to shadows of death! Over Kill shall ensure any resistance is... permanently deactivated. The future of automated assassination belongs to COBRA! "Vapor, Zero-G - your special assignment approaches. Prepare yourselves for a mission worthy of your... unique talents. "To all COBRA forces - remain vigilant! When alien invaders rain chaos from above, we shall rise from below! The world's populations will BEG for the stability only COBRA can provide! Their fear shall be our foundation, their desperation our strength! Soon they will see that I alone can guide humanity through these dark times - and into a glorious new age of COBRA DOMINION!" Cobra Commander Raises his fist, voice rising to a fevered crescendo "COBRA! COBRAAAAA!" The Transmission ends with a crash of static

Rock Out

.. And one of those odd life changes that’s crossed Ghost’s path is a development into a carrier-host. That’s fine, she thought. She came to in a new frame, deckspace in place, spark shifting and itching. Which was much better than before where her archives were destroying her from the inside out. 

With Omen. One symbiote. Spark-split. She can handle that. She’d asked about a symbiote, something to help with her -other- issues.And them Omen just -happened-. 

Be careful what you wish for.

A few weeks later this special someone scampers out of a lab and like Ash Ketchum, chooses Ghost as his carrier. Much to her surprise. She was simply taking him to Soundwave, thinking he was one of his many (many) symbiotes. Nope.  I mean, there’s not a manual on this at all - She’s asked. Repeatedly. Ravage just laughs at her (smug cat) and Soundwave.. well..He’s too delighted in her being of carrier spark like he is. It -explains- so much to him. 

Rock Out, OC of Dunmurderin at TFMUX. Character by Dun, art by moi And yes, he’s a fighting cockera with colors based on Hei Hei.

Ghost - a description

An opalescent white wraps about an angular form that stands at least 32 feet tall. The light seems to be pulled into the colour, a rippling opalescence that captures and steals the light with reflections and refractions rippling as if darker shadows live just beneath the surface. With a closer inspection, details can be made out such as the rich, dark blue hue striping the trailing edges of multi-paneled, downswept wings and a deep emerald green thinly lined against the dark blue. Twisting, angular slashes of matte black are inset into the blue, darker shadows against the already deep color. Angular, lithe, and rapier thin, her form gives the illusion of being female without the softness so common in others of her gender.

No seeker nor skyraider nor commonly configured flight-frame, she does share some base configuration elements such as vernier-thrusters adorning heeled legs, elements of her canopy cover split with part inset into her chest, the other acting as part of her hip array, and wings. Torso plating angles sharply into a thin waist, layered and angular panels over panels nestled under one another with venting slats higher to her shoulders. Her canopy is a darker shade of 'white', violet tinged. Between the thicker armor plates, glimpsed of biolighting can be seen in peeks and flicks of a dark violet, approaching ultraviolet, fully exposed along her midrift in lines that span from chest to underneath hip plating, bright-dark against an ash hue of underplating. Her wings, set high to her back, angled downwards 'at rest' are composed of multiple panels segmented for additional expressiveness and maneuverability. Etched into the wing panels against the blue are words in white, written in an elder script. "Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum." on the left wing with "Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la" on the right.

Sweeping lines of that rich blue and deep green wrap about her vambraces in intricate spirals that twist into stark black scrollwork, ending at the back of each finger. The triple color bands trace lines down her thighs and shins ending with that inky, coal black at her thrusters and boot tips. No obvious weapons grace her, nothing so mundane as arm rifles or shoulder rocket pods, only a lone pistol mag-locked to her right hip. Upon her right spaulder is a stylized sigil in green that depicts Trypticon's head in 3/4 profile. Against her left upper chest plate in elder script are the words 'Cabur Trypticon'keldab'.

Violet optics ringed with golden-green sit in a face shaded a darker 'white', adorned with slashes of coal black, deep blue and deep green in war-paint patterns from ages gone past. Her helm has a browband or even a circlet: An angled chevron touched violet with angled panels that rise into sweeping spikes to each side that, at a glance, could be a stylized Decepticon emblem. To each side of her helm sits slight sensory domes with wing-like finials again touched with a violet glow when fanned outwards.
