The large underground base was busy, as always. Throughout the base, soldiers walked around, both Autobot and human. Some decided on quicker transportation, Autobots transformed into cars or armored vehicles, and soldiers taking humvees around the massive complex. In the command center, alerts popped up on the holographic world map. Upon seeing the alerts, several human soldiers grabbed papers and scurried about.
Above ground in a garage, a trooper holding some papers ran up to a Phillip Robinson, the commander of a tank platoon. Orders to move out, and investigate Autobot signatures coming in orbit, with the estimated landing site in a nearby forest.

Meanwhile, Decepticon infiltrators all over Oregon converged to the estimated LZ.
