Okay.

This is easy enough.

I know some of you have been waiting for the Law Committee to become official, right?

Well now it is.

[He holds up a datapad with the current Law Committee Roster listed on it.]

I spent the past few weeks- [Trying to forget about being changed into a Sparkeater] -tracking everyone down and drafting this. Since we're supposed to be a de-facto political organization, this announcement is public so that anyone can make themselves heard if there are any issues.

[He used to work for Senator Shockwave--it sounds close enough to what politicians do.]

This, uh, is the last time I'm going to do this, since from now on I'm in charge of zoning. Speaking of which--who was it that wanted roads built again?

Is that a thing?

Anyway.

Look this over, and speak up if I made any huge mistakes.

((OOC note: If you are on the Law Committee, feel free to assume that Skids has contacted you and gotten your opinion on what branch of the Committee you want to be on~ If you aren't on the Law Committee and want to be, give a poke here too!))

Auto...? He, uhm. He's the medic for the Decepticons, actually. He's my direct superior here...

[Boy, this just got awkward.]

I see.

He's a Decepticon, is he?

asldjfjfk I'M SO SORRY SKIDS

[redshirtrobot]

... Yeah.

I'm. I'm sorry. Really. He... he should have told you. I don't know why he didn't.

[Aside from the whole 'not supposed to be divided' thing they're trying to do.]

HE IS GOING TO NEED A WHILE

[skidaddle]

I--

Huh.

I mean, it shouldn't matter right now, anyhow. I'm sort of starting to think every friend I've made here has been a Decepticon.

But.

I...

[Usually he didn't want to do that with a Decepticon.]

SOB, HE UNDERSTANDS

[redshirtrobot]

Well. We aren't all that bad, and all. Some of us.

[... Wait.]

You, uh. Like him. Don't you?
Like-like him, I mean.

1/2

[skidaddle]

Yeah.

Here, most of you have kind of been.

Good.

You know?

And the fact that a lot of you didn't fight in my war has made it easier, because your war might have gone differently.

Heck, I didn't even fight in most of my war.

It's just...

2/3

[skidaddle]

Wh--What?

I don't even--

I mean he's--

...

3/3

[skidaddle]

...

yes.

[redshirtrobot]

Sorry.

[Today is awkward and inappropriate day apparently.]

So... if you like-like him... then whether he's a Decepticon or not shouldn't really matter. Should it? He's. Still the same bot, no matter what faction he is.

[skidaddle]

Its easy to say that in theory.

I guess there's just a big difference between learning to like Decepticons...

...and being able to trust one enough to recharge by them every night.

[He was happy to be killing them not long ago. He suspects there were cons that felt the same about bots, too.]

[redshirtrobot]

Of course! I understand, I mean some things are just. Too intimate. You're hesitant to trust certain people with them. Especially if you really haven't in the past, for whatever reason.

[Especially with the whole war.]

[skidaddle]

He's giving me a hard time about it.

[Skids is not happy about that.]

But it's kind of nice to have someone understand. So...Thanks.

[redshirtrobot]

I'm not surprised. But I'm sorry he's doing that.

[That seems pretty terrible, really.]

Well, sometimes Decepticons are pretty awful. Especially to each other. It makes sense that... someone would be upset about it.

[skidaddle]

Yeah.

Me too.

[He was really sorry, because Knock Out really had those beautiful, sculpted shoulders, and...well. It could have been fun.]

Wait, don't tell me he's hurt you before?

[redshirtrobot]

[It could still be fun, though. It's not like this makes Knock Out a different person. Which Fracas would mention, if Skids didn't say that.]

What? N-no. Honestly I never saw him before I got here. I didn't get injured and he wasn't. One for mingling with the troops. Other officers, though, they sometimes... swatted us around, I guess you could say.

[skidaddle]

But not him?

[You're actually making a pretty good case for forgiving the sports car, Fracas.]

[redshirtrobot]

Not to my knowledge. I-I mean, obviously I don't know what happened behind closed doors.

[Being hurt by officers was common enough that it never ended up as gossip, really.]
