I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life.


Tiring of the eternal civil war on their home planet of CYBERTRON, the heroic AUTOBOTS embark on a deep space mission to colonize a new planet. However as their ship departs, a raiding party of evil DECEPTICONS lead by the cruel and ruthless MEGATRON boards the AUTOBOT ship and causes a crash landing on a distant planet: Earth. The crew, Autobot and Decepticon alike are knocked into a deep stasis by the impact.



Centuries later, seismic activity from the volcano causes the ship's life support systems to reactivate. TELETRAAN ONE, the Autobot's onboard computer sends out probes to find new EARTH FORMS for the robotic crew, but in the confusion cannot distinguish between AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON. Unfortunately, the Decepticons are the first to awaken.



Quickly seizing the advantage, the merciless MEGATRON and his conniving lieutenant STARSCREAM set about a devious plot: by replacing all the AUTOBOT'S heroic insignia with HEAT SENSITIVE RUBSIGNS, no one can tell what faction anyone belongs to!



Now MEGATRON has left behind a handful of his most covert agents, tasked with only one objective: MAKE SURE THE AUTOBOTS NEVER LEAVE THIS SHIP ALIVE!

How many votes are needed to lynch with 26? Even if people get on board with a turbolynch is the number required low enough to be possible on day 1? Is votefinder on its way or are you still fixing the missing players GM?

Hey gaspy, what are you doing for absent / lurking players? I've seen other games state they'll mod kill absent / lurking players. I'm wondering because with 26 it could be very easy for people to just not post and fly under the radar.

The AUTOBOTS gather around Teletraan One, trying to find some clue as to who among them might be a DECEPTICON.

A security officer muses, "yeah, one of us could even be STARSCREAM,"

"Hold on," says another Autobot, "how do YOU know Starscream??"

"What? Everyone knows Starscream," says the officer, "He's one of the famous ones,"

"Seems like something STARSCREAM would say, I reckon!" chimes in another Autobot.

"Yeah lets see if Starscream can fly his way out of this one!"

The Autobots en masse drag the protesting officer to the top of Mt. St. Hilary.

"This is stupid, you idiots are just always looking for an excuse to pick on me! I've done nothing wrong!"



"Tell it to the sky, DECEPTICREEP!"

and the security officer was smashed to pieces on the rocks below.

RED ALERT - HEROIC AUTOBOT SECURITY OFFICER, has been killed.

The Autobot whirls around, "It's you!" he cries, and brings his blaster to bear.

Too late. Two shots are emptied into his chest.

Warpath: "If you guys want to BLAM wait around to get scrapped by Decepticons then ZOWEE be my guest!"

Warpath gathers up his most precious possessions, a small sackful of bullets.

Warpath: "I've left some prime POW munitions in my quarters for another Autobot, but if you guys need me I'll be back on ZAM Cybertron! Better to wage war for an eternity than get picked off in our KABLAAAAM sleep!"

And with that heads to try to sneak aboard the DECEPTICON SPACE BRIDGE.

Mourning the loss of their stalwart defenders, the AUTOBOTS gather in the ships recreation chambers to drink some oil and drown their sorrows.

"Prowl was a great officer, loyal, dedicated, the best," one slurs into his cup.

"Yeah he was an amazing sleuth," says another.

"And a great friendfriend," says a third.

"Hold up," says one turning to the last, "I know that voice..."

The Autobots as a unit turn on the interloper.



It's the INSECTICON master of electronic warfare: SHRAPNEL!

"Foolish Autobots!bots! you may have uncovered SHRAPNEL, but you will never-"

The Insecticon gets no further though before being blasted to pieces in a hail of blasterfire.

DAY OF THE DECEPTICONS

Episode 3



An assailant stalks the halls of the AUTOBOT base, poking his head into various rooms. Where IS everyone tonight?? Soon he is greeted by an ornery Autobot.



Ironhide: "I knew you'd come snooping around here, Decepticrumb, now lets see how you pick on someone your own size!" opening with a fearsome barrage of superheated liquid from his fingers.

Assailant: "With pleasure you washed up old rust bucket!"

The sound of their combat draws a crowd, elsewhere...



Bumblebee: "Okay this is it, Prime tasked me with investigating these Decepticons and that is exactly what I'm gonna do! They'll never suspect that their whole operation will be taken apart by BUMBLEBEE!"

Bumblebee rounds a corner to see an angry Transformer loaded up with munitions stomping through the halls.

Transformer: "TARGET ACQUIRED, PREPARE TO BE ANNIHILATED" and unloads a volley of bullets into Bumblebee's chest.

Bumblebee: "My chassis."

The attacker focuses a devastating blow on the tiny Autobot, flooding the hallway with a searing, burning light.

Bumblebee flips open his communicator, sending one final message to Optimus Prime:



Bumblebee: "I am.. a..a hot.. ffffff-"

--------

Ironhide's opponent has bested him, and Ironhide now struggles to function.

Assailant: "Give it up you idiot, there's no beating us now!"

Ironhide: "Nooooooo!"

Assailant "Such Heroic Nonsense.."



----------

Trying to move unnoticed back to the recharge chambers, a DECEPTICON finds his path blocked by a furious warrior.

Warrior: "Thought you could hide from me eh? Nothing gets past me. Nothing."



Skywarp: "I don't know who you're talking about you little punk, I don't even know what a Decepticon is, I'm not some kind of geek like you."

Warrior: "Yeah okay, good one, idiot..."

Skywarp is so convinced that his awesome ruse has worked he doesn't even see the blow that shatters him against the wall of the spacecraft.

"Yeah, we got that."

"I mean I know you're slow and all but even a DINOBOT could see I was right."

"Yeah okay thanks"

"Prime should just put me in charge of this investigation, I'm the only one doing any work!"
