[An audio channel opens up to the sounds of a minor struggle. Metal shrieks briefly, then a loud thud follows. It isn't long before the scuffle is reduced to a painful sounding creak. Any medic could recognize that ring as the dangerously strained hyperflexion of an arm joint, and anyone who's met him might recognize the protests of a just-returned-to-normal Skids.]

Ow--OW, hey, its not like I wanted to eat your spark. Primus, it tasted terrible.

[A less than pleasant new voice cuts in over this.]

Do any of the seven theocrats in charge wish to explain how being attacked five minutes away from one of your 'temples' is supposed to constitute a Haven?!

[The question is rhetorical, there's about a five second pause before the voice chimes in again. And boy, is it as charming as ever!]

The perpetrator in question has been restrained, and I suggest someone direct me to where he can be deposited before this escalates any further.

[In the background, Skids can still be heard struggling clearly.]

Is this because I ate somebody else's spark? Please tell me I didn't. No. I'm serious. I need to know this.

Who arrives carrying stasis cuffs, anyhow?

I figured. He had a distinct lack of cables

That still doesn't change that he's a potential danger.

Of course he does, he's not a... what're they called, sparkeater?... anymore. And he won't be.

The mech wouldn't hurt a fly. He sat in a room and made hats with me for a dance, and I ain't the easiest to get along with. Didn't even swat me once.

And? Are you expecting me to just let him go on your word?

I'm going to transport him to the HQ to prevent any possible incidents. What they do with him is up to their discretion.

Except there aren't going to be other 'incidents' because the mech is harmless. I don't think he even managed to successfully attack anyone to begin with because it ain't his nature. Even if he happened to be... extremely different than usual.

Check the comm archives if you don't believe me. Or you could always ask other folks around here, I'm sure there are at least a few that'll vouch for him.

They can vouch for him after he is transported.

[lel you think he has time to sift through months of comm chatter? nope. not while skids is still in his hands.]

Anything else you want to add?

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if some of 'em call you en route. He doesn't seem like a mech that accumulates enemies.

[Pff, amateur. That's half of what Barricade does normally.]

Yeah. That once I'm back in my normal body I'm prepared to submit evidence of other incidents similar to this one that occurred in other dimensional hubs, and any video I have regarding Skids in particular.

And an inquiry after your designation, Super-Cop.

Go ahead and do so. I assume the situation will be cleared out once everything is taken care of.

[And he's just about ready to cut the feed and continue what he was doing, but Barricade gets an answer first.]

It's Prowl.

Prowl, huh?

[Oh, he likes this. There's the sound of a purr over the network.]

Be seeing you around, darlin'.
