Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Autobots Report Decepticon Activity Worldwide
Major Lennox:
We have intel that I believe warrants an immediate debrief. But with your permission, I can't let you see him, but I would like you to hear it from the leader of the Autobots.
General Morshower: [Optimus transforms into robot mode leaving Director Galloway in awe]
Proceed.
Sergeant Epps: [To Director Galloway]
You gotta wonder, if God made us in his image, who made him?
Optimus:
General, our alliance has countermanded six Decepticon incursions this year, each on a different continent. They’re clearly searching around the world for something, but last night’s encounter came with a warning.
Demolisher: [From unknown pre-recorded source]
The Fallen shall rise again.
General Morshower:
The Fallen." Meaning what?
Optimus:
Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained within the allspark lost with its destruction.
Director Galloway:
Excuse me! With this so-called all-spark now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?
Major Lennox: [To General Morshower]
Director Galloway, our National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison.
General Morshower:
Well, I guess I didn't get that memo.
Director Galloway: [To Optimus]
Forgive the interruption, general. Excuse me, coming through. Excuse me. Excuse me, General. After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is hard-pressed to say the job is getting done. Now, under the classified Alien Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry.
Optimus:
We've witnessed your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good.
Director Galloway:
But who are you to judge what's best for us?
Major Lennox:
With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years.
Sergeant Epps:
We've shed blood, sweat, and precious metal together.
Director Galloway:
Solider, you’re paid to shoot, not talk.
Sergeant Epps:
Don't tempt me.
Director Galloway:
And the, uh, the newest members of your team.
Optimus:
Easy.
Director Galloway: [To Optimus]
I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House.
General Morshower:
Let me stop you right there, Mr. Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgment of both Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach.
Director Galloway:
Well, be that as it may, General, it is the position of the president that when our national security is at stake, no one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE One, aka Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only known remaining piece of your alien AllSpark is locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world.
Soundwave:
Decepticons, we have located the shard.
Director Galloway:
And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after, well, there's only one clear conclusion! You! The Autobots! They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? "The Fallen shall rise again?" Sounds to me like something's coming. So, let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave peacefully?
Optimus:
Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it. But, before your President decides, please ask him this. What if we leave, and you’re wrong?
Major Lennox:
That's a good question.
