The crew of Salvation watch the skies along with them, but see nothing. The New Decepticon fleet was, as of yet, too far away to be seen.
However, Bludgeon and his minions were fast approaching, and the fanatical warlord wasn’t exactly holding all the cards this time. His spy had been oddly silent, the encrypted communique he had sent him only containing a set of coordinates on just above the planet’s equator, to the east of the prime meridian. He knew not what awaited him there, or even if Salvation and our heroes were still at that location. The Knights’s shroud, along with the timing at which our heroes had lowered it, had left the New Decepticon order largely in the dark as to what they could expect.
However, these coordinates happened to be not too far away from Optimus’s colony ship. Looking up, Epsilon could see thirty-odd streaks of orange in the morning sky as the New Decepticon fleet fell through the atmosphere.
The lights in the arena dimmed as the Splitter brothers took the Blue Omega Key out of the fortress.
“Salvation just detected a substantial radiation surge on the far side of this planet’s moon,” Greasemonkey reports. “Those careless spawns of glitches just set the whole rock ablaze.”
