[challenge] Sentence Prompt

[ajremix]

Back from a nice vacation and in the process of trying to get back into my daily routine- which will start tomorrow with a prompt visit to the grocery store...

So, as I resettle we're going to do another challenge with a twist. Pick a series from the list:

Transformers
MLP: Friendship is Magic
Mass Effect
JLI
Bat-family
Birds of Prey
Young Justice (comics)
General DCU
Ultimate Spider-Man
Slam Dunk
One Piece
Invader Zim
Fullmetal Alchemist
Red vs Blue
Discworld
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Skip Tracers
human!Wreckers

Series only, please NO CHARACTERS. This is will probably be challenging enough as it.

Pick up a book- preferably the closest one on hand. Go to page 42 and type the 6th sentence. I'll have to make a drabble in your chosen series that uses that sentence.

Let's see how long it takes me to rue this challenge.

The report came to Optimus Prime's desk with the warning of, "There is unfortunate news."

He studied it himself, but saw nothing but shapes and colors. "What is it?"

"A spectrometer reading," Perceptor told him, "from our teams taking core samples of Cybertron from various locations."

"And what does it mean?"

"Just what we have feared. The planet has become unstable and is in a state of decay."

Prime put a hand to his helmet, cycling air harshly. "Is there any way to stop it?"

"Nothing short of a mass exodus. Even if we were to end our war this very moment, our continued existence is too much of a strain on Cybertron's resources."

Prime's blue optics burned dim. "So we have to abandon our home?"

"There is little other recourse, sir."

There was a long silence. Then Optimus Prime opened a line, "Prowl- get everyone together. We're in our worst case scenario."
