This is Ultra Magnus.

Some order of business must be addressed, an announcement that will impact everyone.

While it had been temporarily determined that both McCrane and I would command the law enforcement team, we have both agreed that I will come into full command of law enforcement. All officers will report to me. McCrane, from this moment forward, will be your second-in-command. As such, your respect to him will not change.

However, I also realize that I am additionally part of the law committee. I am fine with having the responsibilities, but I am not interested in causing conflict with both teams. So I request the law committee to please take a vote on whether or not I will remain on your team. Whatever reason you have is your own; a simple "yes" or "no" will do.

To the Firstforged, I request a clear explanation on what you would determine to be a fair due process in how to detain criminals and suspects that bear your glyph. We should be working together, not against each other.

Should anyone have any questions, I am available to answer them.


[to: VANDAL]

Are you, ah.

...Are you all right?

[tearsofsteel]

Whatever you say.

[Just ignore the fact that he's a stitchpunk now, Magnus.]

So are you on board with the Megatronus situation?

[thehardway]

As much as I can. I don't think we have much of a choice.

[tearsofsteel]

I thought so. Well, if worse comes to worse I can be there. At least then you have a witness.

[thehardway]

I appreciate that. Thank you.

[tearsofsteel]

I have no illusions: this is going to be a hard fight.

But I want justice brought to Frenzy and it's worth it to bring that justice.

[thehardway]

I know.

I don't disagree. Justice will be made, in due time. Patience is what we need for the moment.

[tearsofsteel]

I can give all the patience I have.

Just don't wait too long. Can't say I'm a fan of the the sudden changes of command.

[thehardway]

I don't imagine anyone is. Least of all me.

[tearsofsteel]

Just as long as we do our jobs, I'm willing to look past it.

[thehardway]

A good attitude to have. That is all that I would ask of you.

[tearsofsteel]

And all I ask is we take care of this as safely and swiftly as possible.

[thehardway]

Understood.
