Nemesis Prime arrives on the bridge of a massive warship cutting through the multiverse. Red energy from his construct frame reflects across armored consoles and vaulted command glass.
Vehicons, a formation of lean, humanoid robotic soldiers with dark armor, glowing blue optics, and angular helmets occupy the pilot stations in rigid formation, their optics tracking streams of conquest coordinates as starfields fold and reform beyond the hull.
Vehicon commander
All vectors remain aligned. The next universe is within transition range.
A hostile signal suddenly clamps onto the ship. The bridge lurches hard, warning glyphs igniting while the navigation core fractures into cascading errors.
Vehicon commander
Unknown lock on the hull. Navigation integrity is failing. Something has followed us through the crossing.
The Vehicon commander, a tall masculine-presenting robot with a narrow visor-like face and crimson optics turns from the controls, a broad gunmetal frame marked by a white tactical crest. Behind him, the route splits into three impossible trajectories.
Vehicon commander
Commander, we are losing the route. Awaiting your orders.

Director's note
me in this case
“Nemesis Prime commands his troops to get warships controls back online and to scan the entire vessel to find out what happened”
SUCCESS (Superb Command, rolled +1)
Nemesis Prime
Get the warship controls back online. Scan the entire vessel and determine what happened.
Nemesis Prime’s command cuts through the alarm tones. Vehicons abandon formation, converging on the fractured navigation core while sensor drones unfold from the bridge ceiling.
Vehicon commander
Acknowledged. Control recovery and full-vessel scan are underway.
Blue diagnostic beams sweep through corridors, engine vaults, weapons bays, and sealed maintenance spaces. Red fault glyphs collapse as the Vehicons reroute the core through redundant command trunks.
Vehicon commander
Primary controls restored. The hostile lock did not breach the hull.
The scan resolves into a precise tactical map. A foreign signal is embedded in the ship’s transition wake, wrapped around the navigation systems like an external tracking filament.
Vehicon commander
Cause identified. The signal followed our dimensional crossing and distorted the route. No intruder is aboard, and the vessel is fully under our control.
