As discussed in Discord for some time, the Time Skip is now underway. Below is a nice little blurb wrap-up about what has been going on in regards to the major key plot points in the forums. Should you have any further questions, or what something clarified more, be sure to give Administration a poke and we can edit accordingly.
HAVEN
All Neutrals who once resided within Haven are now deceased, MIA, or homeless having escaped the Decepticon's wrath. Haven was purged of all valuables after the mass murder, and used as a ploy to trap and kill Autobots. Dreadwing upon Starscream's command rigged the entire base to explode and cause mass collapses, while Soundwave scrambled the ability to reach base for a half hour's time to try to make certain who remained bled out from injuries, though it was unsuccessful.
--
Optimus and Javelin were within the Meeting Room when the bombs went off. Javelin got wise to what was happening mere seconds before Starscream, Pyrotech, and Dreadwing made their hasty retreats. With the notice of imminent destruction, punctuated by the flickering seconds of the bomb's ticks, Optimus had enough forewarning to grab Javelin, and throw her underneath the metal conference table for protection.
Javelin sustained minor injuries to her leg from the table as it partly collapsed under the brute force of the cascading roof, and minor denting in upper arm from Optimus grabbing and tossing to safety a bit too hastily given limited time. Otherwise, she was mostly protected.
Optimus sustained damage to his back from the falling rocks, bending the smoke stacks and leaving general scrapes, dings, and sheared off paint and metal. In addition there was acute strain to limbs from holding the fall at bay until rescue as long as he did. He had ample time to think and churn over appropriate retaliation.
--
Patch and Carbine were located within the Bar when the bombs detonated. Each were on opposite sides of the stone arch bar top, and thus were able to use it as shelter while awaiting rescue. The wall of High Grade Energon shattered, saturating the floor in highly flammable liquid and glass to add additional duress to an already terrifying situation.
Carbine was forced to the ground in the too small pocket of safety which part compressed Bolo. In the fall his rotors got bent. Dings and scrapes adorn armor, but overall his riot plating protected him from crush damage, he received strain from being pinned in a contorted stance.
Patch was also forced to the ground within a pocket of rock. She sustained large scrapes down left arm that peeled paint and skimmed a layer of metal off the top with long grooves. A myriad of other scrapes and dings joined this injury, but the damage was mostly psychological.
--
Bluestreak and Skystone were within the storage area of Haven when the bombs detonated. Due to the wall structure surrounding the relatively small office they were residing, they were mostly spared from total collapse. The ceiling plate came down and rocks barred the exit until rescue.
Skystone took a hit from some collapsing rocks, obtaining most damage to forearms from the dropping roof. Cuts and scrapes also sheered down her back and wings. She received acute strain to limbs from holding the falling office ceiling at bay until rescue.
Bluestreak, having experienced this already once in his life, went completely catatonic and silent during the entire ordeal. He was spared from physical damage save for basic cuts and dings due to the room's structure and Skystone's aid.
The Autobots at Omega jumped to action once a distress call could be made, working diligently to help unearth those who were buried.
RECOVERY
With Cruor figured out to the extent it is needed for either faction, all who were previously infected will be on the road to recovery. Hostile urges, irritation, and other symptoms of the disease are long gone at this point besides occasional observation or tests to make CERTAIN it will not have a reemergence. All that remains is the memories, the scars, and whatever samples were retained by the resident Medics.
RETALIATION
With the Truce broken in the most violent way possible, the Autobots surged to the occasion and assaulted a Decepticon mine system to lay claim to its resources. Stepping up to the occasion for the assault to make certain there would be no chance of failure, is Bumblebee, Skystone, Javelin, Patch, Carbine, Skirmisher, Pyro and Optimus himself ((other volunteers can be added)). The abnormally understaffed Vehicons within were swiftly subdued, and all resources were pulled free.
BLACKRIDGE
With the Nemesis still under water, and a need for Blackridge to hold so many more individuals than it was ever designed to, the outpost has been under constant renovations. Excavating, coring out, and trying to make any room possible to accommodate a battalion of Vehicons and other soldiers... Accounting for time over elegance, the base itself is weaving and organic to avoid particularly difficult areas to mine free. Luxuries once cherished are now gone, from shared living quarters, to no appropriate frames to mount doors on most rooms, to the walls themselves being rough hewn rock showing drill marks.
Decepticon Commanders ((and the CMO)) are lucky to obtain private rooms, but much to the dismay of others, all non Vehicon and Eradicon soldiers are bunked three to a horrible doorless room. Have fun picking out roommates Decepticons! In the coming days a map will be released so you my lay claim to an actual room on it.
Same for Autobots ((except each get their own room with doors)), but Omega will require more research as Zercon re-watches all of Season One to screenshot scenes and sob grotesquely so it'll take longer to complete.
CONCLUSION
Below, Administration invites players to post blurbs on what their characters have been up to! This is optional, but could be fun to read, filling in the gaps and giving a bit of insight to what people have been doing.
