[Open to all][Originating from Police Headquarters]

[mccrane]

For the time being, it is recommended that all police officers avoid confrontations in Megatronus Prime's quadrant. The police station there is currently inoperable.

[Because Megatronus Prime was dismantling it. McCrane feels like possibly the worst police commander in the history of police commanders for bringing this about so quickly, even if he stands by what he said.]

Given our current state, I am worried that the Haven is vulnerable to disaster or attack. If you feel you are capable of rescue or combat, please let me know so we can coordinate if necessary.

Additionally, if there is anyone who can give suggestions for how to speak to Megatronus Prime--I would appreciate the assistance.

[Private to Ultra Magnus]

I would like your opinion before I go visit Megatronus Prime, also.

[He has more to talk to you about, but he'll start there.]

[Private to Blurr]

I am sorry--

[He doesn't know what to apologize for first, so he stops there.]

I did not want to let you down.

[He shouldn't. He tried his best, and Megatronus wasn't cooperating.]

Leading is complicated and _{it takes time} to get used to things. You have a lot of new responsibilities, it's normal to feel overwhelmed. [There's a reason why Blurr decided to take a break after all.]

That doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong, sometimes things just don't work the way we want them.

[mccrane]

I was programmed to be capable of leading Build Team...

But this is different.

It's more than leading--its having to forge the entire system. Nothing is consistent.

[And he's used to...well, not an ordered world, but having a very particular place in a disordered one.]

I think you managed better than you gave yourself credit for.

Action

[raceme]

I don't think anybody was programed for the sort of situation we have here. Dealing for entities like Megatronus is hard even for creature from his same universe and species. Don't be too hard on yourself, that's what you told me right?

Uhm..could you...? [Blurr makes a few gestures with his arms, asking McCrane to put him on the table or some place higger thant eh ground. That way they can see each other better while talking and Blurr's neck will stop hurting from looking up.]

I'm not sure about that.

Action

[mccrane]

If they would not force changes on us, it would be easier.

But...in that regard, we're working with a higher authority than the law.

[He bends down, offering both hands together for Blurr to climb up up. It...feels so strange to think of this as Blurr, but the eyes are the same, somehow.]

You held us together for months.

I have caused a problem in less than one.

Action

[raceme]

Yes, and that's the main problem. No one should be above the law, specially those in charge. I think we need to reconsider how we handled things so far in regards of the Firsforged. We were supposed to have freedom of action to organize our growing society.

[Thanks McCrane. He tries to be careful and not move much.]

It was different, I didn't had to deal with this sort of situation either.

Action

[mccrane]

That was what Prima told me. I...I thought they all wanted us to be autonomous.

[He sets you on the desk in front of him, wishing you were bigger so that you wouldn't seem so fragile.]

The closer we get to having this be functional, the harder it is to change it. Once the Law Committee has solidified the rules, it will be even harder.

I don't want to stop.

But...maybe it would be best if Ultra Magnus leads, until I'm ready.

Action

[raceme]

And I think he meant it. Prima and Megatronus doesn't seem to get along all that well, perhaps his opinion differs from the rest of the FirstForged. We shall ask them about it.

[Blurr wishes the same. He hates feeling this weak.]

Once the Law Committee has solidified the rules we will try our best to find an agreement with the FirstForged. They need to give us some freedom too if they really want this planet to grow.

[Blurr is surprised by that last statement, but he understands. He understands way too well. He touches McCrane's hand again, trying to be comforting. You are too big for a proper hug now, buddy.]

If that's what you wish, then let it be. I'm sorry that all this happened, you shouldn't have had to deal with all that.
