re_alignment | [video][private to the law committee]

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.

We do need to organize ourselves and start planning some basic laws..

[ Saber goes quiet to think about the Dead End situation. She had heard about it, however.. ]

The lad has not killed anyone yet, and seems to have a few trustworthy friends who are watching over him. Maybe they should be told outright they are expected to .. keep him in check, per se? I see no reason to have Dead End feel imprisoned or punished as he has not harmed anyone. We do need to keep an eye on him, however.

[ The knight looks back up at the video directly. ]

Does this Dead End situation not also concern the Police Force?

Huh. I've been worried about this same issue, myself.

[Dead End--menace to all therapists, while also being attractive to them.]

I think we probably need to make some laws before we can arrest him for them, though...

Wait.

Hold on.

Who put you on the law committee?

[Last he checked, Starscream spent more time impersonating politicians than he did...being one.]

Honestly, I agree. Especially if he admitted it himself.

Of course, if it is possible we should seek to cure whatever...affliction plagues him, but in the meantime the temptation should not be overlooked.

And he likely has been tempted at the very least since arriving here, given those intrusions some time back.

[The upset minibot that camped out on his couch was proof enough of that.]

Given the nature of his public confession, perhaps he will voluntarily comply with at least some of these suggestions. If we could be so fortunate.

I agree.

Dead End's getting to be a problem and I think the only solution is imprisonment.

Is there anything that can hold a Cybertonian?

[ Wing feels a little remiss because he knows he's been neglecting this. No matter how hard he tries, there seems to something that slops through the cracks. ]

It's definitely something that needs to be addressed, and proactively not retroactively.

But I hesitate to impost restrictions on a mech who hasn't actually broken any laws. He should be treated fairly as the rest of us. If we can find evidence of him harming someone here, and convict him of a crime, then we can met out a punishment that's appropriate.

But limiting his quality of life simply due to his biological needs is far from fair or just. If we start acting against a mech's threat potential then 70% of the mechs here would be end up with restrictions.

[ He frowns, because he also wants to keep people safe. ]

I'd like to exhaust all options for solving or mediating his needs before we limit his already poor quality of life.
