[Open to All][Dual-post from Ultra Magnus and McCrane]

[mccrane]

[There is a lot McCrane has to get through in this, but it is less daunting with assistance. He stands by Ultra Magnus, barely fitting in the same frame due to their size difference.]

As you may have heard, both Ultra Magnus and I have taken over as head of Police since Blurr's resignation. We will be conducting all affairs pertaining to the safety of the populace residing within Haven, so if you encounter a threatening situation or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us or our new secretary, Cody Burns.

All members of the Police Force should check in at this time, as well as any prospective applicants.

[You'll get a nifty badge for doing so. Also, it'll help them figure out who they can send on assignments~]

We won't be able to do our jobs to the best of our abilities without set laws, however, so we are requesting the Law Committee to designate a Head of Operations to organize new laws and report them to us.

[Without official laws, the police are technically nothing more than a well-equipped band of enforcers.]

Pharma will need to undergo his trial, as well, since we do not have the manpower to keep him confined to Liege's temple for much longer.

[McCrane has been over there roughly once per day, and really...there was nothing to prevent him from walking out beyond the threat of Tarn.]

Finally, a number of our data-pads have gone missing lately. We are in the process of an investigation, but if anyone has any information or a similar crime to report, it would be appreciated.

Thank you.


[Locked to Cody]
Cody, if you would not mind could you put out a call to all medics and determine where they operate out of? It would be useful to be able to direct both organics and robots to the appropriate facilities in case of emergency.



[Locked to Tarn]
I would like to speak with you a moment about an incident that occurred over Christmas, please.

Comments

[thxforthememories]

I... should check in then, shouldn't I?

audio;

[mccrane]

I appreciate it, Kagerou.

Do you still want to keep working with the force?

I have a badge for you, if so.

[Audio]

[copperkitty]

Cheetor checking in!

[Omg is stuff happening? Because it looks like stuff is happening!]

[Audio]

[thehardway]

Cheetor. Very good.

I take it you intend to continue to be part of the force?

[Audio]

[kungfugeek]

Oi! McCrane!

Power Joe checking in!

[What is a Magnus.]

Guess I gotta take orders from big blue over there?

[Audio]

[thehardway]

Ultra Magnus is my designation, Power Joe.

McCrane and I are equally ranked. [Which is probably the easiest thing in the world, since they tend to agree on a lot of things. Which is refreshing.] So you will, from both of us.

[Audio]

[mccrane]

Power Joe!

Has your engine upgrade been functioning well?

[He has no reason to believe it wouldn't, but it is a strange procedure.]

Ultra Magnus has been policing the galaxy for millions of years. He is a very competent, experienced officer.

[Granted, that never gave Gunmax any reason to take orders from people, but you have more sense than Gunmax don't you Power Joe~]

[Locked/Video]

[toguidethem]

I can do that for sure!

[Cody is delighted to be given something of importance to do, and he's determined to do it well.]

So you want me to get their names and locations? Do you also want me to make note of what they specialize in?

[Locked/Video]

[mccrane]

Thank you, Cody.

[He knew he chose right with you.]

That would be useful information to have. We could keep it posted by your desk so that you can help direct the injured where they need to go in an emergency.

It would be good to have it in a central location as well.

[The Hub, maybe.]

[Locked/Video]

[thehardway]

Acceptable. You are well experienced at this.

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

I bet Starscream took 'em.

Or Jetfire. There's something not right about that mech.

[...says Whirl (?)]

[video]

[mccrane]

I am not familiar with those individuals...have they engaged in suspicious behavior before?

[You have not been the most reliable narrator in the past, Whirl, but you have given him some good tips.]

( video )

[pendragon]

Saber reporting in.

[ She raises her hand to her chest. ]

I am also a member of the Law Committee, but I will admit it's extremely scattered and I am not too sure of its current state.

[ Saber recognizes McCrane now, but not the other. ] I don't believe we've met.. Ultra Magnus, is it? I look forward to working with you.

( video )

[mccrane]

It is appreciated.

I am not certain of its state, either, but I believe there has been no unifying factor to hold it together. Perhaps we should hold an election, since it is supposed to act as a sort of government?

( video )

[thehardway]

No, we have not.

It is appreciated, Saber. I am also a member of the Law Committee. It's safe to assume that we'll be working consistently together.

[Video]

[furryfarkinfiend]

I still want in.

[Video]

[mccrane]

Thank you for reporting in. If you stop by headquarters, I can provide you with an official badge.

We...have not been formally introduced, have we.

[Now he feels remiss about this.]

[Text - locked to the Police Force]

[raceme]

Agent Blurr reporting in, sirs. [It feels weird saying this but it looks like you two are doing a great job and for that he's happy.]

I've been keeping an eye on Tarn, even more so after Rung informed us that he, probably, was the one who killed Four. I also checked which ones of the datapads where stolen and they don't really contain important information. [Who would want to steal those?]

And I..have a request.

Text - Locked to the Police Force

[thehardway]

Blurr. [It's a bit strange to not take orders from you anymore, but he's glad to hear from you.]

What is your request?

audio;

[sciencetank]

Who on Cybertron would be taking datapads? What's been taken?

... Ah, Commander. Good to see you're still with us.

audio;

[mccrane]

A small stack of reports.

Thankfully it is nothing sensitive, but I like to know who patrols, and when, and what they find...

[And doing paperwork is his, Blurr's, and Ultra Magnus's thing.]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

I agree, the law committee has been slacking.

[video]

[mccrane]

[He's been hearing some unsavory things about you from Whirl, Starscream. However...well. 'From Whirl' was part of that sentence. Still, he hasn't forgotten the castle request, so he treads warily.]

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I offer the police station, if you need a place to convene...

AUDIO;

[engrishdetective]

Ahh, McCrane. You're such a little busybody. Don't overwork yourself, baby. Someone might worry.

AUDIO;

[mccrane]

It would be easier, with more experienced officers on hand...

[He'd like you to come back, eventually. However, he might currently be a little distracted due to the fact that 'baby' was directed at him. That's endearing.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Let me know if there's anything I can do for Pharma's trial.

[audio]

[mccrane]

We are still in the process of collecting information about the murder--if you can tell us anything about it or the suspect, it would help.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Ultra Magnus? Where were you?

[Wait, more important stuff to worry about. He shakes his head a little, getting back on task.]

Thundercracker reporting in. I am interested in remaining on the force if you'll have me.

...and what's this about a trial? Who is Pharma?

[He's out of the loop on that one.]

[Video]

[mccrane]

We would be very happy to have you, Thundercracker.

Pharma is currently a suspect in a murder that occurred a few months ago. Without proper laws or a method of proceedings, however, we haven't been able to prove his guilt or innocence.

[video]

[catwoman]

Someone has some nerve stealing from a couple of big guys like you. Who would even do such a thing?

[video]

[mccrane]

I am not certain, but...

It does not surprise me. There must be someone who does not like the idea of a police force getting off to a start.

[He'd have to watch the pattern of crimes to see if something like this surfaced again.]
