Prologue: MECH's Counterattack

Date: December 27, 2012, Time: 10:15 A.M.

In the dimly lit war room of MECH's underground headquarters, the atmosphere was tense. The hum of machinery and the murmur of operatives preparing for the upcoming assault filled the room. Nemesis*, stood before a detailed map of Jasper, Nevada, finalizing plans for a retaliatory strike against the Autobots. MECH had suffered significant losses due to their interference, and Nemesis was determined to make them pay. By his side was Airachnid who was deeply invested in this mission, especially because it involved her arch-rival Arcee and her former human partner, Jack Darby, who had caused both her and MECH considerable trouble in the past. Nemesis addressed his military officers with a commanding and confident tone, "The time for retaliation against the Autobots has come. We will strike at the possible town of Jasper to see if this town is the 1 were the Autobot base is nearby to possibly defend the town. Our goal is to draw them out and make them pay for interfering with our operations. Airachnid, are the Damocles satellites ready for deployment?"

Airachnid, exuding calm confidence and a hint of sinister pleasure, responded smoothly. "Yes, Nemesis. The Damocles satellites are at optimal capacity. We can initiate orbital bombardment at your command."

Nemesis nodded, contemplating the gravity of the upcoming strike. 1st MECH would devastate Jasper from orbit, crippling its infrastructure and leaving the Autobots with no choice but to respond. Nemesis in a calm and determined tone "Prepare the satellite targeting coordinates. We'll neutralize the town's local authority forces and cut off any escape routes. We need to make a statement that MECH cannot be trifled with."

As MECH's technicians diligently worked on the satellite targeting, Nemesis turned his attention to the live video feed of the town. As he was looking at the video feed Airachnid speak up in a calm and sinister "Once Jasper is in ruins, our ground forces will move in to surround the town. We'll send a message to the Autobots, forcing them to reveal themselves or watch as we execute the innocent townsfolk."

Nemesis with a cold expression: "Excellent. This is the price the Autobots will pay for meddling in our affairs. They won't be able to resist our challenge."

Time: 10:30 A.M.

The Damocles satellites positioned themselves, particle beam cannons aimed strategically at points within Jasper. As the targeting coordinates were finalized, Nemesis gave the order to initiate the orbital bombardment. Nemesis, resolute "Commence the strike." The war room became tense as the satellites unleashed destructive beams from space, turning Jasper into a chaotic battleground of fire and destruction. MECH's ground forces, positioned at the outskirts, awaited their turn to move in.

Time: 10:45 A.M.

As the dust settled, the once-vibrant town of Jasper lay in ruins. The local police station and highway system were decimated, isolating the town from external aid. MECH's forces moved swiftly to surround Jasper, establishing a tight perimeter.

Scene and location: MECHcon officers and troops at Jasper's Police Station

The front of the police station was in shambles, debris and smoke clouding the area. MECH operatives moved swiftly through the wreckage, their movements precise and coordinated. Captain Williams a seasoned MECHcon officer, led the charge with other of his company officers going to their assigned locations across the town. Captain Williams in a calm commanding tone(speaking into his comms) "Team Alpha, secure the perimeter. Team Bravo, sweep the building for any remaining officers. Move quickly and efficiently."

Operative 1 in a calm acknowledgement tone "Understood, Captain, on it."

The operatives fanned out, weapons at the ready and waiting for any possibly Police officers that are digging themselves out to come out; Or with their follow officers that where outside the building doing their field duties. As his team of operatives searched the rumble for survivors that saw there were 5 Police officers climbing over the pile of rumble searching and listening for survivors buried in the rumble crying out for help. When they saw the 5 Police officers, they saw them that they were in a state of panic and moderately in shock desperately searching for survivors; When the Police officers turned, they turned their attention to them they were again shocked but them time curious and asked from the massive looking humanoid robots that could be some of the massive construction bots; From what they read in new magazine the new massive construction bots are from the company MECH was working on and begin to introduce industrial construction to help in industrial construction help in clearing the rumble and search for survivors in the ruins. 1 of the Police officers turned their attention to the massive humanoid robots and in still moderately panicked and considered tone "Please help us, we need your industrial strength construction to search for survivors."

As the Police officer continued to ask them for help Captain Williams grow impatient and annoyed are the Police officers pleads for help Captain Williams turned his attention to his subordinate operatives that were searching to survivors and prisoners to take and in a growing impatient and annoyed tone "Enough of this BS Secure them. We need to ensure no one can call for help. As well have some of the team to begin searching the rumble to see if there are other survivors for us to take captive that the Police officer said."

Operative 3(through comms) in a calm acknowledgement tone "Yes, Sir Captain."

Captain Williams in a satisfied and accepted tone "Good, we need to hold this location until further orders."

Meanwhile in at the same time at another location and scene MECHcon officers and human MECH troops at Jasper's Communications Center

Lt. Carter, another 1 of Captain William's MECH officer's, stood outside the communications center, his face set in grim determination. His team had already breached the building, and now they were ensuring it was completely offline.

Lt. Carter in calm commanding tone (into his comms) "All teams, report status. Are the communications dish and other communication types disabled?"

Operative 4 in a calm acknowledgement tone "Affirmative, Lt. Main servers are down, and we've cut all external lines. Jasper is isolated."

Lt. Carter in a calm and satisfied tone "Excellent. Set up jamming devices to ensure they can't establish any new connections. We don't want any surprises."

Operative 5 worked quickly, placing jammers around the room while Operative 6 monitored the situation outside.

Operative 6 in a calm tone "Lt, perimeter is secure. No signs of incoming reinforcements."

Lt. Carter: "Keep it that way. We need to ensure our control over Jasper remains unchallenged;(Lt. Carter than switched his internal radio set to Captain Williams radio frequency.). Captain Williams Main servers are down, and we've cut all external lines. Jasper is isolated."

Captain Williams in a calm accepting tone "Very good."

Locations and Scene change: Near Jasper's Highway exits and entrances

Meanwhile in at the same time at another location and scene MECHcon officers and human MECH troops Near Jasper's Highway exits and entrances.

Lt. Mitchell another 1 of Captain William's MECH officer's, known for his strategic acumen, had positioned his team at the main highway exit leading out of Jasper. Vehicles and debris were strategically placed to create an effective blockade.

Lt. Mitchell in a calm commanding tone(addressing his team) "Set up the barricades and make sure no one gets through. We need to control all points of entry and exit."

Operative 7 in a calm curious tone (planting explosive charges) "Lt., should we prepare for demolition if needed?"

Lt. Mitchell in calm calculating tone "Yes. If the Autobots try to break through, we'll need to collapse the road. Position charges at key structural points."

Operative 8 in a calm acknowledgement tone "Copy that.(shited tone to a considered tone.) Sir, we've got movement on the north road. Looks like a civilian vehicle."

Lt. Mitchell quickly in a calculating tone "Stop them and check for any suspicious activity. We can't risk anyone getting out with information." The operatives moved swiftly to intercept the vehicle; weapons drawn but non-lethal measures ready.

Civilian Driver in a nervously tone "What's going on? Why is the road blocked?"

Operative 9 in a calm sternly tone "For your safety, sir, you need to turn back. The area is under lockdown."

Civilian Driver again in a nervous but this time an urgent tone "But I need to get out of town!"

Operative 8 (approaching) and in a calm commanding tone "It's for your own good. Turn back now, or we will be forced to detain you." The civilian reluctantly complied, turning his vehicle around. Mitchell watched as his team resumed their positions.

Operative 8 (into his comms) "Highway exit secured, Sir. No one gets in or out without our say-so."

Lt. Mitchell in calm and accepting tone "Very good,(Lt. Mitchell than switched his internal radio set to Captain Williams radio frequency.). Captain Williams both Highway exits and entrances are secured. No one gets in or out without our say-so."

Captain Williams in a calm accepting tone "Very good."

Time: 10:55 A.M., Location and Scene change: In the dimly lit war room of MECH's underground headquarters

Airachind was analyzing the aftermath in a calm and somewhat concerned tone "The Autobots won't be able to ignore this, Nemesis. They'll come, and when they do, we'll be ready."

With the devastation of Jasper fresh on everyone's minds, Nemesis stood before his assembled forces, his presence commanding attention and Nemesis had a hardened expression "Make no mistake, the Autobots will come for us. They will seek retribution for what we have done. But let them come, we are ready. We have anticipated their every move, and we will meet them head-on with unwavering resolve.(Turning his gaze to the live video feed of Jasper's ruins, Nemesis's voice carried a hint of menace.) To the Autobots who may be listening in know that Jasper is but the beginning.

We will not rest until every trace of your presence on this planet is eradicated. You may have thwarted us in the past, but now the tables have turned. The fate of Jasper lies in your hands. Will you reveal yourselves and face us, or will you cower in the shadows like the cowards you are?" With that, Nemesis concluded his speech, his words echoing through the war room with a chilling finality. The message to the Autobots had been delivered, and now all that remained was to wait for their response. As the message echoed through the airwaves, MECH awaited the Autobots' response, ready for the confrontation that would unfold in the aftermath of their devastating strike.
