[Blurr will try to keep this short and simple. He made up his mind after talking with McCrane. If he can’t be the mech they need then he shouldn’t be on the way of a more suitable person for the job. Someone, as others pointed out to him, bigger, stronger, and easier to understand.]

This is my formal notification that I am resigning from my position as head of the Police Force. From now all your possible requests and needs will be attended by Ultra Magnus and McCrane.

I have decided that his is the best course of action for everyone and I wish you much success in the future.

[/end of Public message.]

[Locked to Cliffjumper.]

The monsters are gone, we have a trip to make I believe?

Why? I don't understand.

The Police Force needs a leader that looks like one, Kagerou.

This is about appearances?

Among other things, but yes

What other things! That doesn't -- it doesn't make sense!

Leadership is defined as one's ability to get others to willingly follow. I don't have that ability Kagerou.

I'm not all that good with people, I'm blunt, I'm not impressive looking, I irritate peopel with my speech patter and I have not enough patience.

[Not to mention that he lacks of the confidence right now.]

That's not true. I listen to you! Don't the others?

I'm none of those things either. And I don't even belong on a police force. But I haven't...

I haven't stopped.

You do, and that means a lot to me.

I'm not going to stop fighting or working for the law, the only difference is that I won't take the decision or give anybody orders. [That would make some people happy, in his opinion.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. `[He's actually surprised of the reaction.]

But...

You've been here longer. You know how this place works.

Yes, I'm upset. You're leaving, others left. What's going to stop everyone from doing it?

I'm not leavign Kagerou. You can still find me in the headquarters if you need me, or my temple. The only difference is that McCrane and Ultra Magnus will take thee decisions. You trust McCrane, right?

I promise you will always be able to count on me.

It's just that lately I've been feeling....lost and inadequate. I really need a break so I can think about a few important things.

Yes, but... it's not the same. You began this, didn't you?

Then take a break. You can do that, can't you?

Yes. [He's smiling little, too bad it can't be seen.] I'm I'm glad that I was able to see it grow so much, we are quite the group. But I need to accept my limitations and do what's best for the Police Force. I want it to be as great as it can be.

They say 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts', and I'm happy that this is the case here. I will try to take things more lightly and see how it goes.

And changing the subject, did you took a decision about your FirstForged?

And what if it can't be that, without having you? You don't know this is best!

... fine.

[There's a long pause. As if he's not going to respond at all. He's... upset. To say the least.]

Yes.

[Ia weird way, Blurr is touched that Kagerou cares so much. He's also worried that he's upsetting him, since BLurr is upset himself.] No, but I know I need some time. If you still want me I could come back.

Thank you, Kagerou.

[Pauses are even more worrisome.]

Did it go well?

It doesn't make sense for the one who created this force to leave it. To... step down. It's your place.

...

I don't know yet.

Again, I'm not leaving. I will work in the shadows, I like that. I'm better at it too.

How so? Did something bad happen?

... Right. Sure you are.

[BITTER MUCH, KAGEROU?]

No, it's just... it's complicated.

... [Thanks for making him feel he sucks at everything, Kagerou. ~~What is tact~~]

Ah, okay.
