Andromeda and Rook report on some "dirty" happenings
Synopsis
On ANN, Andromeda reports on the weather. The temperature is 126 degrees, with no smog, but a 12 percent increase in oxygen. In addition, she tells viewers heading into North Axiom on the 5293 to be careful, as small group of offworlder Decepticons attacking a waste fuel depot, thinking it to be an energon refinery. On the scene, Rook reports that the security cameras recorded the Decepticons-Ruckus, Needlenose, and Crankcase-breaking in, and causing several gigaliters of sludge to gush onto the humiliated Decepticons. Rook and Andromeda crack about the Decepticons misfortunes. As Andromeda closes out the weather report, Rook steps in some sludge and is disgusted, his co-host oblivious to his plight.
