If I could have your attention for just a moment-
[Dinobot is standing with his back against a wall, which can be seen behind him. His optics are just a little wider than usual, and he keeps glancing up warily from the comm screen, looking around as he talks. By his standards, this behavior is close to panic.]
There is a new danger in the forest. Not one of the typical inhabitants, I think, and I'm not sure where it came from. Armored, anthropoid, nearly a meter taller than me, armed with a sword that makes mine look like a toothpick. Most alarmingly... [He hesitates briefly, trying to find words that will do justice to what he saw.] It seems to be able to dissolve solid matter. Living matter. It generates... tendrils, apparently made of nothing but shadow, and whatever they touch... it... disappears. [Did he just suppress a shudder? Yes, yes he did.]
If you see this thing, I advise you to stay away from it. I didn't attempt to fight it, and I won't, without a clearer understanding of its abilities. I'm not even sure my weapons will affect it. If anyone here has experience facing similar threats, I would like to know. [Another pause.] ...Slag. I should have tried to record it. [Okay, so he'd make a terrible spy. But he knows how to give a tactical report.] I will offer a more detailed account to any who request it. If you'd rather see the thing for yourself- [A harsh bark of laughter.] Just go to the forest and follow the screams. It is hard to miss.
