All right, it seems as though this group has been slacking a bit in our responsibilities. We need to do something about that since I believe we have representations for all of our glorious hosts. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

With that said, I have another matter I'd like to bring to the table: the mech Dead End.

As you probably are aware, he has made public his cannibalistic nature. When I confronted him, he admitted to being a threat, but refuses to do anything about it. I don't know about you, but after the allegations of him possibly sneaking into rooms, I don't think this is something we should take lightly.

I'm not suggesting termination --

[As that would not work anyway.]

Or anything related, but we do need precautions before something escalates. If not from Dead End himself, from another going after him.

I propose something along the lines of an internal tracker, a limited boundary he must stay in, and his own personal "baby sitter" so to speak. If he voluntarily complies and doesn't try to eat anyone, this could be eventually lifted. If he violates the rules, then harsher measures can be taken.

I welcome any other suggestions, but I still feel we must act before someone is hurt. I assume being eaten alive isn't a pleasant experience.

If I wanted you dead, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[But there's always later.]

Optimus Prime suggested finding a cure. I'd say we at least have the police force obtain him and get all the medics to check him out. The more we know, the better prepared we are to decide on what to do.

[skidaddle]

Would you want me dead, if we're the same rank?

[Though that may be exactly what your point is, he realizes.]

I...agree?

[He has to add the question mark, because its so weird to say on its own.]

So lets authorize that. I vote we make it against the law for breaking and entering too, and probably also against unauthorized power-core sampling. That ought to take care of the rest.

Wasn't there also some trial we were supposed to do?

[aerospacecommander]

[Starscream smirks, but doesn't answer the first question.]

Hopefully that will be enough to deter Dead End, but ...

Even as a Decepticon, I will still say: Dead End is a Decepticon and there is a high chance he will not listen.

As far as a trial goes, I believe so, but I'm not sure of the details.

[skidaddle]

[He is watching you, Screamer. He is.]

So then we'll have to think up some juicy punishments, huh? Something that would deter even Decepticons.

But.

Okay. Separate issue. You know what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking there are too many of us.

I mean, too many of us all working nebulously on one thing. Lets appoint everyone to handle a specific task, come up with a solution, and then we all approve it.

So, like, we get someone to handle trials. And someone to handle laws. And someone to handle punishments. That sort of thing.

[aerospacecommander]

I'm surprised, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Splitting us up into sub-groups could make things go smoother and quicker.

...

In theory, at least.

[skidaddle]

Yeah. Especially since we all have our side-projects in just trying to stay alive here.

It'll help.

[Starscream, maybe you're not so bad.]

[aerospacecommander]

And everyone keeps bumping into each other just trying to figure out what to do.

[Don't tell him that, Skids.]
