[The backdrop is definitely the organized interior of the Police Headquarters. McCrane, however, is standing in the open doorway, and the sound of a high-speed racecar can just be heard zooming away.]

This is McCrane, of the Brave Police. I am alive again, for those I have not had the chance to get in touch with yet.

[There were a few, and he felt badly. Especially since he was still coming to terms with having died.]

Blurr and I have encountered a Priority One situation. Overlord has...

[How can he explain this?]

...has been released by Megatronus Prime. Please exercise caution if you are outdoors. We will be attempting to rectify the situation.

[They already were, as Blurr was racing off to keep an eye on Overlord and talk to Megatronus while he made this announcement.]

We have also apprehended the murder suspect Pharma. Law Committee, I am awaiting further instructions on what course of action to take.

((OOC NOTE: REPLIES WILL BE FROM BOTH MCCRANE AND BLURR.))

[There are no words to describe Wing's expression right now.]

Overlord.

...was released...

By Megatronus.

[WHAT EVEN.]

Was Overlord allowed to leave of his own accord or was Megatronus taking him into his custody? [One could hope the latter.]

I will speak with Magnus and the rest regarding Pharma. [That's at least one bit of good news.]

[Locked]

[mccrane]

Yes.

I...I know. [He understands your befuddlement.]

Overlord left in the custody of the Acolytes. He was apparently being escorted to an arena?

[He locks this.]

Meanwhile, we are moving Pharma to one of the temples for safekeeping.

[winged_knight]

An arena? [Wing sighs.] I have a...suspicion what this about. Megatronus has the only arena in this area.

[He nods.]

And not the jail? Do you think he's in danger?

[Locked]

[mccrane]

You have a suspicion?

[Please, Wing, if you have evidence, he needs to collect that. He's practically leaning forward in interest, because the only other lead involves Megatronus releasing Overlord for less-than-savory reasons.]

I have received multiple warnings about an individual named 'Tarn.' Are you familiar with him?

[Locked]

[winged_knight]

Well, a theory I suppose. If Megatronus's namesakes are anything like the First Forged, then arena combat is a favorite past time.

[It's not a whole lot to go on, pure speculation really.]

Not directly. Tarn is from my universe but I've been so removed from the war discovering his existence was new to me as well. But he seems to be an open threat to my kind dependent on faction. All my information is second hand, from either Drift or Ambulon though.
