re_alignment | [Open to All][Dual-post from Ultra Magnus and 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.

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

I appreciate it, Kagerou.

Do you still want to keep working with the force?

I have a badge for you, if so.

I don't... think that's going to be a problem.

[But he's not sure. Maybe he should have asked that -- whoops.]

A badge?

I am glad to hear that. I wasn't sure how your free-time would be occupied after your move.

[He didn't want to assume anything.]

Yes. It will show that you're acting officially if you need to investigate a crime.

[He holds up what looks to be a metal sheriff's star that has a magnet glued on the back. He and Ultra Magnus may have spent yesterday doing law-related arts and crafts.]

It's not so busy. Not so far.

[It could be a gold star sticker stuck to black construction paper and he'd still perk up. Like he does now.]

... Can you wear them?

Then it will be good to have your assistance, still, and if anything changes...

We can discuss it, then.

[He places the star on one of his shoulder pieces, and the magnet sticks to the metal, making sure the feed it switched to video so Kagerou can see.]

We have smaller ones for organics, also. What do you think?

Right. If something does... I'll inform you. All of you.

[He sort of hopes it won't.]

[And McCrane might as well be holding the Holy Grail or something long those lines, the way he's staring at the feed.]

[... he knows exactly where it's going to go.]

I think. That I like this idea.

Thank you, Kagerou.

Have you had a chance to speak with your friend about helping us program that system?

[He hopes Kagerou can stay with them, too. It has been nice to have another quiet one on board.]

I am pleased with them, also. We found a box out in the junk yard, and I thought it might help. I'll leave one up in the roost for you?

Not yet. He's... been having difficulties of his own.

[And he's really hesitant to bother any of the Cybertronians. It feels wrong, somehow.]

Yes, I can come get it when I head back that way.

Is everything alright?

[McCrane just wants to make sure he's not being remiss in his patrolling.]

Understood.

Yes, he's fine. Just looking for missing things of his own.

[Like an owl.]

I understand.

Let him know that if we can be of any assistance in that regard to not hesitate to contact us.

Yes... I will.

[He hesitates. He's not sure why he wants to say it, but:]

Thank you.

[It means a lot to hear, and he is silent for a moment.]

You're welcome, Kagerou.

You are always welcome.
