[Video][Unlocked][BIG NEWS]

[mccrane]

[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.))

[YOU BETTER BELIEVE TARN HAS PLASTERED HIS ATTENTION ALL OVER THIS BROADCAST.

ALL. OVER. IT.

+1 perma-creeper creepin']

AH WHY DO YOU KEEP POPPING UP LIKE THAT

[mccrane]

[McCrane is unaware why he suddenly feels even more chilled than before.]

>:/

[raceme]

[TARN U NEED BETTER HOBBIES.]

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

By what authority has Megatronus made to allow such a release?!

[He doesn't lose his cool often, but this. This utterly enrages him.]

AUDIO;

[mccrane]

[McCrane understands. This is not making his day any better, either.]

He sent acolytes.

Warrior-types.

They provided me with this. [He holds up a message pad.]

AUDIO/he's running

[raceme]

He didn't come but he sent _{us acolytes with a message} I AM going to speak with him right not.

[furryfarkinfiend]

Oh this sounds farkin' wonderful.

audio

[raceme]

Tell us about it I AM trying to see if Ii can change Megatronus's mind. [He doubts up.]

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

Tch. And once again, the almighty Firstforged exercise their impressive power to screw us all over.

Funny how that happens.

audio

[raceme]

[He's not going to commend on that.]

Gunmax I need a small group of agent keeping and eye on him from a safe distance. INTERESTED?

VIDEO;

[mccrane]

You were right.

[He feels badly that he tried to defend them, before. This? It has no sense.]

I don't know what can be done. I believed we would be left alone...

[But they weren't. And now, he does not know if he could talk to any of the other Firstforged about this.]

[video/locked]

[sword_redemption]

Released.

How can we expect to have people trust us to keep them safe if this happens? [First Prism, now Overlord? ]

[video/locked]

[mccrane]

We can't.

We can't do our jobs if there is this interference. [He feels at such a loss right now.]

Blurr is going to speak with him.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

What?

What...is he thinkin'?

[Video]

[mccrane]

I do not know.

Perhaps he is unaware of the dangers that Overlord posed?

[But if so, why leave Pharma?]

Audio

[raceme]

I hope to figure out that soon MEANWHILE take car eyou all and avoid Overlord at all cost.

[audio/locked - cause he knows you're watchin', Tarn]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[No video, because Ambulon would rather you not see him sitting slumped forward with his aching ACHING head and face in his hands]

Have you and the others decided what you're going to do? I figure you'd have someone tail Overlord. But if you're going to do that, it should be at least more than one person. He's probably going after Megatron, but you knew that.

... Also, I have reason to suspect Pharma;s life may be in danger. I think you should consider relocating him somewhere only you and your fellow officers know and have access to. I'll be happy to provide any medical help, should he need it. But Tarn has publicly expressed interest in meeting up with Pharma, and... Well, it wouldn't be good for him or any of you if he came by the station to have his "talk".

But if Overlord's been released, I'd imagine Tarn would seek him out first. He's definitely got to be at the top of his hitlist queue.

[he... takes a moment] There's also been some concern regarding Vandal's disappearance. We believe she may have been abducted. A search party has been sent out, but it'd be nice if there were possibly more hands involved.

I... obviously can't help alongside the others. As much as I want to. But my medical services still stand.

[audio/locked - visible for the police force]

[raceme]

We are assigning different small group of agents to track him and keep and eye on him from a distance.

McCrane, can you take care of relocating Pharma? Put him in my room if needed. Ultra Magnus is from his same world and I don't want him to meet Overlord again so soon ASSIGN him to Pharmas's case. He will complain tell him it's a direct order.

Pair up Gunmax and Cheetor as a team to follow Overlord ^{Cheetor has his speed and Gunmax his bike} that should give them some advantage if they have to flee. Rocket can be paired with my turbofox frank HE CAN RIDE on his back.

Please make it clear that no one should attack Overlord under any circumstance.

Leviathan and Kagerou can help Vandal's rescue party and I need Albert, Drill boy and the other agents in the headquarter in case somethingelse happens.

And no, AMBULON, I appreciate _{the offer but you} need to stay on a safe place for now.

audio; 1/2

[thxforthememories]

... What?

audio; 2/3 i lied

[thxforthememories]

[Wait.]

[Hold on a second. Wasn't...]

[video]

[drillsandballs]

I can fly around to track Overlord. Unless you need me to do something else.

[video]

[mccrane]

I shall relay that suggestion to Blurr.

[Because it is a good one, even if he doesn't want you to get involved. He still worries too much.]

There may be something else I need your help with.

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

Great. Just what we need with all these glyphless losing their mind.

[Video]

[mccrane]

There may shortly be too many occurrences for us to provide support for. [He doesn't like this.]

[winged_knight]

[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.

[Video][Jail cell]

[organ_pharming]

[Pharma's expression is haggard- more than is normal for someone doing time in jail.]

Don't.... don't let him talk to me.

Please.

[Video][Jail cell][Locked]

[mccrane]

Don't let...

Don't let who talk to you?

[He's beginning to suspect, based off some of the other conversations, but he needs to know from you.]

[Video] Erm, p-pretend this isn't three days late. OTL

[notyourblueangel]

What!?

[It's not directed AT McCrane, just...general reaction. Because SERIOUSLY after everything else that happened? All those innocents (he's thinking of Kay) people that fragger hurt and killed. He growls.]

I want to help. Fly aerial reconnaissance, help take him down again, whatever. What can I do?

[Video]

[mccrane]

You can fly?

[Of...of course you can. You have wings.]

You may be able to assist. Which Firstforged are you aligned to?

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

...


[The face is almost enough of a response.]

W-Why would they do that?!!

[Video]

[mccrane]

[That. That is a horrified face. McCrane sympathizes.]

I don't know. [He says, softly, worried.]

But I assure you we are working as hard as we can to rectify the situation.
