re_alignment | [Audio]

[An audio feed starts with the sound of scuffling, probably jostled into turning on. An unknown voice is heard, then Thundercracker's.]

N-no, what are you doing!? GET AWAY FROM ME!

Hold still, you fragging glitch. It'll hurt less.

HOLD STILL!? You're going to shoot me!

Yes, I am. Before you go insane and do worse to others. [There's a cold matter-of-fact tone to his voice, though no real maliciousness. Just a determination that brooks no argument.]

I-I won't-...you can't-...I WON'T LET YOU!

[The sounds of struggle renew, doubled in effort, until there's the sharp rapport of a rifle and howls of pain. The screams cease abruptly at the second and third cracks of rifle fire.]

...I told you to hold still, you glitch. [Then he growls.] Fragging comm.

[The feed ends.]

((ooc: I'm assuming there are more Glyphless around than the event PC's. This is just a nameless NPC Glyphless, no one in particular. Just that TC's out "helping" with the problem, Decepticon-style. At least he's trying to be somewhat humane about it?))

I have no idea . . . but I'll keep working until everyone's dealt with.

[Is that a hint of exhaustion? No, of course not, he's just been busy.]

[He thinks he recognizes the voice, though he can't place it. He'll switch to video, hoping the other does the same, and he makes sure his Glyph is visible to the camera.]

I don't think we've met. I'm Thundercracker.

[Sure enough 004 brings the camera on him, showing his glyph just the same.]

004. I'm with the police force. I might be able to help.

[Thundercracker nods.]

I'd say 'well met' but these aren't exactly the circumstances for it.

What's your fighting capability? If you think you can keep up, I won't turn down back-up.

[He doesn't mean to sound arrogant or dismissive. Just...well...]

My hand doubles as a gun and I can carry missiles in my legs.

[There's no real way to sugar coat that.]

Plus I can at least put up more a fight than a non-modified civilian.

[He can't really help that his optics brighten some in surprise. Or that he really only focuses on one part of all of that, at least initially.]

Organics can get modifications?

[He didn't think that was possible. Okay, now you've really gotten his
attention. Because . . . just what.]

[004 shrugs. It wasn't something he felt proud of.]

It wasn't my idea, trust me.

[That gets a frown from the Decepticon.]

Experimented on against your will or something?
