((OOC Note: Please wait for Part 2 before responding))

[Longarm does not have a presentation. If it weren’t for the involvement of the slaver lords, he wouldn’t have considered their mission to have any link to the others at all and therefore not worth participating in this meeting, so he wasn’t about to waste his time prepping something more involved than a simple summation of events.

While he was aware Magnus had alerted the security team, he had seen no public notification of his true identity, and so was attending the meeting as Longarm Prime, seeing as he had run the mission as such and did not need the conversation derailed to focus on him. When it was his turn to speak, he presented his information in a brisk, matter-of-fact tone.]

For those unaware, I led a mission to infiltrate a highly secure, highly classified research and development facility sponsored by Lord Acumen Nébuleuse du Crépuscule and the Galactic Council, following a lead provided by Vicia Nébuleuse du Crépuscule supplemented by additional intel provided by Mass-byte. The facility was working on the development of a weapon of mass destruction: a bomb, specially designed to target Cybertronians en masse. If this bomb were completed, it would pose a significant threat not only to the R2 but any other surviving Cybertronians in this universe.

[He does not point out the intended purpose was to battle Megatron’s undead army. They did not need to get sidetracked arguing the morality of the mission.]

After months of research and intelligence gathering, I led a small team comprising of myself, Moonracer, and Knock Out with the intention of infiltrating the facility, destroying the prototype weapon, and wiping any information that would allow for its re-creation or further development. Upon arriving at the facility, we discovered that the slaver lords had launched an attack shortly before we arrived and were in the process of capturing any individuals present. Using various disguises we were able to make our way through the facility without confrontation. Moonracer was able to rescue a researcher who provided us access to the deeper levels of the lab.

We encountered a powerful blood mage enroute to the target, who had separately infiltrated the facility and who informed us of a previously-unaccounted for Cybertronian captive, her intended goal as she was seeking energon. This was later confirmed to be Malara de la Prairie D'orage, also known as “Malady”, acting through a Warden proxy.

We reached our target and encountered Lord Duam of the slaver lords himself. We were unable to determine their purpose for attacking the facility, but through stealth and subterfuge we completed our mission successfully. Lord Duam had an object of apparent import in his possession, and while I attempted to acquire it via proxy Lord Duam was alerted to our presence. Thankfully he misattributed the attack to Malady, and himself completed our secondary objective of destroying the weapon by blowing the facility. While the Cybertronian captive was present, Malady had beaten us to the target and they perished before the bomb went off.

We were able to escape the facility before the explosion, successfully completing our mission.

[There were a few details Longarm had omitted: the presence of Baki Songfang (irrelevant) and the fact he had obtained the blueprints of the weapon and could feasibly build a smaller-scale version (likely to cause a stir given the recent reveal about his identity as a Deception scientist), but the report contained all the information he was aware of. His team, however had further insight.]
