[Video; Originating from the Solian temple]

[tearsofsteel]

[Why, at first it appears there's nothing onscreen, just the floor seem from a low vantage point. Someone must have dropped it, that's all--]

I was wondering when it was going to hit me...

[Lo and behold, onscreen walks what appears to be a talking doll. Stitched in red fabric, it seems Albert has kept the boots and scarf typical to his cyborg uniform. His body even bears the numbers 004. His hand seems to still be missing, now replaced with a crude club of sorts. Getting used to this body is going to take a looong while...]

Least you guys know what you are. Anyone know what I am? Because I'm not really sure.

[Locked to the Police Force]

[No matter, it was still serious business time.]

How many of you have been affected by this...change? If it's a lot, I think we're in big trouble.

[Sigh.]

Hi Teddie.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Uh, hey there! Hehe...lookin' good?

[He's trying so hard not to laugh right now.]

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

Thanks, I guess.

Funny, I see it didn't change you. Must be lucky.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Well lady luck is a lady~ All ladies love Teddie.

[Just you wait, you little--]

Probably the same species as Four... Prior to the human transformation.

[audio]

[tearsofsteel]

Wasn't aware Four had a species. From what I guessed, he--she was an artificial being.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I admit, I know very little about Four in terms of his design. I can only assume, but that's interesting. I'll file that away to remember.

[audio]

[tearsofsteel]

Thanks, I guess. I take it you're a scientist, a doctor maybe?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

A doctor. And if these transformations become permanent, I'm going to have to learn a plethora of new fields. [irritable sigh]

That is so cute

[raceme]

You look a bit like Four. You need to be careful and stay in a safe place. I could go pick you up.

[Locked to the Police Force]

I am. But when aren't we in big trouble, Albert?

/sob

[tearsofsteel]

Figures, didn't count on becoming his species.

[Locked]

More than usual. You've seen what went on with Frenzy, didn't you?

He's also cool looking? .3. I want an Albert doll

[raceme]

No one ever thought about changing species, I believe.

Itsortahappened.

[Locked]

Between him, four and then Rung? Yes I did. [An you should be able to tell judging by the frown on his face that he didn't like it.]

I want everyone to be a stitchpunk

[tearsofsteel]

That's true. Just didn't exactly Four as...a species, per se.

[Locked]

I don't like it either. And now we have a problem with Dead End. I tell you, things are getting a little out of hand.

That would be both great and chaotic.

[raceme]

What do you think he is then?

[Locked]

Megatronus don't allowing us to do our job properly sure isn't helping either.

...

Is that... you?

You're like me now!

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

Hey, Four. Yeah, guess I am.

Whatever that means.

[He's still getting used to not breathing.]

[video]

[deusexraf]

...I take it you know by now?

[video]

[tearsofsteel]

What I've become? Only vaguely. Still, guess I could be worse off.

[video]

[deusexraf]

You don't seem to be having much difficulty, at least.

[video]

[tearsofsteel]

I just hope I can navigate out of Solus' quadrant without getting stepped on.

Glad you aren't affected yet.

[Private]

[mccrane]

[Poor Albert.]

Too many have been impacted to make us an effective force.

[McCrane is starting to suspect that this is EXACTLY why its happening.]

Technically, if we were to be attacked right now...

[Private]

[tearsofsteel]

So we're in big trouble. We're in enough trouble now with Frenzy and Dead end, we need to find a way to coordinate.

[Private]

[mccrane]

I agree. And we've lost our station in Megatronus Prime's quadrant.

[Given how he'd aggravated that firstforged, things weren't looking good from any angle.]

I will make a post to see.

Do you know if the Law Committee got further on drafting the laws?

[He'll need something to go to Megatronus with.]

[Private]

[tearsofsteel]

What--how did we lose Megatronus?

[Um...about that...]

Yeah...well...like you said...the force is in bad enough shape right now.
