[quote=@Guy of Z] "An Alien city! But there has been people on mars for decades...how come no one has seen this before" "Maybe they didn't want to be seen" The city sent forward a probe "We're picking up a huge surge of energy...We're under attack!" Ebony preemptively attacked the probe with missiles which annihilated the city in a blinding flash. The once golden glow turned bright red and white. "What have we done?" "It was coming straight for us!" "It could have been some kind of scan!" "Come on Paul what were you expecting me to do wait until we were blown to pieces before firing back?" "We've destroyed the whole city..." A green circle appeared before them and the city miraculously returned "Not yet we haven't. Let get out of here!" Outrage they felt, absolute outrage. His people were destroyed in the blast even though he could recreate himself he could not recreate them. These insects had doomed his people to extinction, they had to repay these fools in kind. The duo sped away from the city and a second probe was sent to intercept them. They were perused until they ran down a hill and crashed into a land formation Three green circles hovered around the vehicle "Earthmen this is the voice of the Hystorons, we have watched you for centuries your violence disgusts us...and now you visit it upon us. You cannot destroy us earthmen but now we will crush your world." A large green light visited them both and all the two men could do is scream in terror.

'What the hell is going on, did someone get attacked? Is that why comms aren't working? I'll head back to the hangar, I'll be a sitting duck if they cross over here' Mikhail swiftly about faced and headed back towards the Delta. 'If they don't head this way it won't be a problem but better safe than sorry' Mikhail ducked low during his run hoping to avoid catching the attention of anyone deciding to fly pass at that moment.

Two soldiers broke from their run and saluted as quickly as they could in front of Commander Gueler while delivering their report. Gueler remained composed while addressing the soldiers, "Hm... this is slightly concerning. We will delay the Operation until we can confirm if this unknown faction will become an interference. Ensure all the officers are informed of this." "Yes Sir!" the scouters turned to the aides relaying the message to be delivered to the officers. Gueler began preparing a report to be sent back to the Gradosian homeworld on the status of the Operation. "We must not fail this time, even if these supposed "Transformers" are the enemy" Gueler thought to himself as he began opening the communication link.
