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?

Cheetor checking in!

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

Oi! McCrane!

Power Joe checking in!

[What is a Magnus.]

Guess I gotta take orders from big blue over there?

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?

I bet Starscream took 'em.

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

[...says Whirl (?)]

I appreciate it, Kagerou.

Do you still want to keep working with the force?

I have a badge for you, if so.

Cheetor. Very good.

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

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.

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~]

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.]

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.]

Jetfire made an infestation of bugs.

On my face. That's assault or something.

Starscream is...wait. I really gotta explain Starscream to you? Fraggin' Starscream.

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.

I recall that infestation...

[He remembered his own ability being mistaken for one at the end of it, too.]

You seemed fine when we met in the junkyard just afterward.

[Not that he thinks you are lying, but...he's having difficulty figuring out the crime.]

Who is Starscream?

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?

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?

...You know me?

[Oh right. McCrane.]

Not sure how I feel about that...taking orders from you, I mean.

[But if McCrane trusts him...]

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.]

No sweat on that! Knock Out helped me out with it!

[You can't tell, but he's so thumbs-upping right now.]

...Yeah? He seems like a stick in the mud.

[Also those ears are huge. He is jealous.]

This is how most modern governments are chosen, are they not? By vote? I believe that'd be appropriate. [ She's used to monarchy or being divinely chosen, after all. ]

I think that would be the most fair; someone who is trusted or looked up to positively by most would win, and that would be the best representation. Each person still involved with the Law Committee would still be quite important.

I still want in.

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?

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.

I think you are right.

This way, any major decisions that need to be made with regards to everyone can be made by someone that was chosen to do so. We'll need to get a list of volunteers.

Can you talk with the members of the committee about this?

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?
