The Greatest Day In Decepticon History Ever!

================================= Decepticon ================================= Message: 2/41 Subject: Promotion Author: Galvatron -- "I have been less than impressed with the activity of some of you as of late. Ask yourselves each morning -- each moment, what have you done for my Empire? For most of you, the answer is very little, which makes me reconsider your presence in my Empire. Today, I punish all of those who have been . . lacking and give a small, sadly deserved reward because... Backfire is the ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING ON A REGULAR BASIS.

It sickens me that we have come to this.

Backfire is hearby promoted to rank five with all of the privelidges of command that this entails.

If you wish for this to change. . you need only be better than Backfire. That is all." ==============================================================================

================================= Decepticon ================================= Message: 2/40 Subject: *NEW* Aerospace Captain! Author: Backfire -- * The spinny fades away, replaced by none other than.. BACKFIRE. Strutting back and forth, he's surrounded by a host of gumbie workers and a large pile of scrap. *

"Greetings, fellow Decepticons!" he announces, an air of.. chivalry and sarcasm in his voice. "It is I.. Backfire, your newly appointed Captain of Aerospace!" he pauses, one can hear crickets chirping.. before the Seeker points a gun at one of the gumbies. Suddenly they break out into a chorus of applause.

"Ah yes, yes.. okay.. OKAY, WE GET IT!" Backfire rages, the gumbies silencing their standing ovation. "Our powerful and wise leader, Lord Galvatron, has bestowed upon me the GREATEST of RESPONSIBILITIES! But fear not, my dear Seeker brethren.. I do not take them lightly!" he smiles, crossing his arms over his chest.

"First order of business, all Aerospace personnel.. excluding my commanding officer Fusillade and partner Astrotrain of course, are to report to me IMMEDIATELY! Secondly, I've found Aerospace lacking in natural camoflague to blend into their surroundings. The terrans being a frilly lot, I am now ordering that glitter is -mandatory- in any and all paint applications. Please report to your nearest Constructicon for a scheduled repaint."

Finally, Backfire jerks a thumb to the pile of parts on the ground, "Also, someone from logistics come see me about some.." he grins wide, "Glorious work. Captain Backfire releases you to your duties, All Hail Galvatron!" he finishes, saluting the camera.

* Fade to black, then return of the spinny! * ==============================================================================
