48th Scream
Herr Major.
You've made yourself an enemy. I imagine that makes you giddy with delight.
I think the human expression is... what... “Be careful what you wish for?” Yes.

Gentlemen. I have been watching you four on the comms for some time, and I have determined that you are the best people to contact for a task I require some help with.
You see, I have a grand and glorious plan to truly show this city what we are made of. Indeed, if all goes well, this city will be ours. And from that stable starting point, we may soon be able to move onto the world.
The plan involves a device I have constructed that will turn the population of this city - yourselves and any individuals you designate excluded - into machine life that will be docile and subservient to us. From there, we will have a perfect machine army with which to systematically take over the rest of this country.
I require your assistance in setting up the machine, as in order for it to have optimal broadcast range I must place it at the top of the Empire State Building. Obviously, this will be somewhat, ah, difficult. I have an army of machine drones, but I cannot command them all on my own. I will further need some support.
[Hey, have some plans sent to your comms. Obviously, he is leaving out the bit about how he's trying to turn the city into a new Cybertron and how you're totally not immune to the robot device; in fact, these modified plans have devices listed that say they'll protect you from the transwarp radiation of the machine. This is all lies. Delicious lies. Mostly, the plans he's sent you seem to be your average normal Kekeke World Domination plot.]
My one other stipulation is that we must avoid casualties wherever possible. Every dead civilian is one less obedient robot servant for our glorious empire.

Slipstream, my dear, do you recall when you hacked into my files and found that delightful little thing - I think I called it Project Genesis? With the Vector Sigma device?
It is all systems go. You will be my Air Commander for this mission; Terrorsaur, you are to report to Slipstream. The two of you will be my air support.

I've had to recruit some individuals you would likely consider villains for our operation, I'm afraid. They've been instructed to avoid casualties. Once the device is complete, you may, of course, arrest them all if you have any evidence against them. They were simply all I could recruit on short notice what with Shockwave disabled as he is.

…
How are you doing?

… Raven.
You recall how I mentioned at the barbeque that I had a friend who... he might be experiencing some emotional difficulty in the near future?
[ Have an IC link to this post]
He is... unwell. Obviously. I... well.
Is there anything you can do to help him? I admit that this sort of thing is beyond my ability to deal with.
