::Wait, thing? It’s… It’s been spreading, right? And with the smell… Is it some kind of monster?:: Maybe he did find the covenant for a reason, then…
::That is what we’ve been trying to detect. Whatever it is, we have found no reference to its name in any existing record. It may just be nonsense the cultist spewed before succumbing.::
::Really? I, uh- I found a, uh, history book that talked about it.:: Not technically a lie! ::I didn’t see its name, but I read about how it apparently hit Cybertron before, in the past, and how these bots were chanting something to make it come and eat cities in an un-Unicron way, that there’s this super-dangerous book that’s supposed to stop it somehow? If that cultist was chanting… Whatever it is- then it could be the same thing.::

::Let me see this book. If it has the answers we seek, we need them as soon as possible, and if it too is a danger, then it too must be contained.::
