[Open to all][Originating from Police Headquarters]

For the time being, it is recommended that all police officers avoid confrontations in Megatronus Prime's quadrant. The police station there is currently inoperable.

[Because Megatronus Prime was dismantling it. McCrane feels like possibly the worst police commander in the history of police commanders for bringing this about so quickly, even if he stands by what he said.]

Given our current state, I am worried that the Haven is vulnerable to disaster or attack. If you feel you are capable of rescue or combat, please let me know so we can coordinate if necessary.

Additionally, if there is anyone who can give suggestions for how to speak to Megatronus Prime--I would appreciate the assistance.

[Private to Ultra Magnus]

I would like your opinion before I go visit Megatronus Prime, also.

[He has more to talk to you about, but he'll start there.]

[Private to Blurr]

I am sorry--

[He doesn't know what to apologize for first, so he stops there.]

I did not want to let you down.

Suggestions?

[Do not ever put a suggestion box and Whirl in the same room.]

Punch him in the face. It's the only way he'll respect you.

Does that actually work?

Or do you have to be physically capable of defeating him first?

[Whirl, why is that voice making him shiver?]

He hasn't killed me yet.

[Which is a miracle beyond measure, let's be honest. Even Whirl is surprised.]

Pffffft. No. Because a powerful mech punching a less powerful mech is a dirty stinking bully. Or Decepticon.

A less powerful mech punching a powerful mech says that less powerful mech's [~~stupid, has a death wish~~] got diodes.

Mechs respect diodes. [Or crazy. Whatever. It works. ]

What did you do?

I told him no.

Well, there's your problem.

What happened? Why do you need to talk to... him?

He and I disagreed with how a case should proceed.

I did not want him to take charge of one of our suspects, and...

He did not like that.

Shortly afterward, I lost contact with the police station in his quadrant.

He did the same with Overlord. Didn't he?

[He remembers that conversation well.]

... Should I talk to him? Or try to? Since I'm... since I made the bargain. With Trion.

Why, what'd you do?

[If there's one bonus to this whole robot thing, he's feeling remarkably upbeat in the face of dealing with Megatronus!]

I told him he could not take charge of one of our suspects. I believe it would interfere with our investigation, and...

I do not agree with that.

[Blurr is trying to do some work, even as human. The only problem is that his datapad is now the size of a tv screen, but he can still use it, more or less. When he sees the message, he quickly stops what he is doing to go find the other bot.

It takes him a bit, not because McCrane is hard to find, but because he's not as fast as he used to be. He touches MCCrane's leg, trying to get his attention.]

[McCrane is at his desk, responding to his post on the link network. He's tense--more than usual, which is why he almost jumps at the small touch on his metal.]

...

Blurr...

I'm sorry.

McCrane, whatever happened, I'm sure you tried your best. And you'll never let me down. [He doesn't fully know what Megatornus and McCrane talked about, but he knows it didn't do well.]

Do you want to talk about it?

Ah... Trouble with Megatronus, I see.

[ Yeah he understands a bit. ]

What's the situation?

I don't want to be at odds with any of the Firstforged, but I'm afraid we've landed in trouble regardless.

I need to reach a compromise with Megatronus Prime.

He wants to be involved with a case involving Frenzy, one of his glyphed. Since he isn't part of the law system we're creating, however, I told him no.

Many find Megatronus difficult to deal with, so you aren't alone there.

[ He makes a thoughtful sound.

Why can't he be involved? With the law system, that is.

Proceed. I will do what I can.

I am going to speak with Megatronus, if I can get enough information to do so.

I feel like I have done something wrong, though. Should I have given into Megatronus Prime's demands?

I do not like the idea of a suspect theoretically being taken off police grounds for questioning, but the Firstforged are powerful. He could probably do so whether I like it or not.

If this had been in my own universe, I would have done everything I could to keep a suspect in custody until all questioning was completed.

With that being said, McCrane, the complicated acceptance we need to make is that we are forced to play by the rules of the Firstforged. Each have their own preferences on how their marked should be processed.

I think that perhaps you did what was proper in accordance to rules enforced where you are from. But like it or not, we're forced to change our behavior here. This is their home, their laws. We abide by them, even if we do not like them.

For the record, I don't think what you did was necessarily wrong.

[It's unspoken, but he also knows you're very young. For someone so new to the universe, he thinks McCrane does very well and has a fantastic work ethic most could stand to adapt to.]

...inoperable? How so?

It is being dismantled by his acolytes.

What?! Why?

[He snorts.]

I know Megatronus hardly likes us being here, but hasn't he been one of the ones who's been adamant we govern and look after ourselves and keep out of his and his brethren's way? What, suddenly a change of spark? Does he want to dictate over us? Or maybe just over "his" people?

Inoperable?

Why is he doing that? Doesn't he want the Haven to thrive?

I thought that all the Firstforged wanted that.

I do not know if he understands why we're upset by this, however.

[After talking to Prima, McCrane had a slightly different viewpoint. He still doesn't like it, though.]

[That sultry, sexy voice you remember from when you locked him up for trying to blow up Prism.]
