So, now that the committee groups have been announced and we're done murdering each other, I have a few thing that need to be brought to the attention to the rest of you.

[Blackarachnia doesn't do sympathy. Get used to it.]

First, I'm on the bureaucracy group and that means I need to talk to the other person on the list. A human child named Miko. Which also brings me to the next order of business. It seems that some people have expressed concerns about a few members of the committee and it's up to me to arrange a vote or two to deal with the issues..

First, whether or not human children should be allowed on the committee. I just want a yes or a no. I don't care for your reasons. I just need a yes or a no from everyone. If you don't vote, whatever. You're choice.

Second, there have been concerns about Tarn being on the committee. Again, simple vote. Yes or No. I don't care about your reason.If you're worried, just make your vote private. Whatever. I'm just the person arranging the votes on things brought up to me. It's your job to decide.

Otherwise, lets try not to slag each other for awhile.

....I think I'm going to be needing that upgrade soon.

What is a "human child" considered? Up to what age are they a child? I think this designation should be made first. Depending on the age group, a few years can matter a significant amount.

[ Saber figures an eighteen year old would be much capable than a sixteen year old, usually, but.. ]

And I agree Tarn should not be on the committee. With how many people are bringing up previous concerns with him, it is not something we should ignore.

I don't, what age does a human stop being a child? I haven't had much experience with your young. So, I really wouldn't mind a little enlightenment on that.

[People should really clue in the widow about humans and their ages. Otherwise, she's making a mental note on Saber's answer about Tarn. Personally, Blackarachnia's hoping for a lot of no's. She's just smart enough not to say anything about it.]

I've heard there are some concerns, just not about what.

[Though she can definitely guess.]

In most modern societies, either 18 or 21 can be considered adult age. I am for certain that no one under 18 should be on the Law Committee, especially for their well-being. [ And Saber doesn't mean just physical safety, but how taxing these types of responsibilities can be. ] I do not believe 21 should be required, though.

Huh. Well, that's interesting to note. I'll have to keep that in mind if we ever have to define this again.

[Shrug. She's learned something new about the apes. Wonderful.]

Why is 18 considered being an adult and say, 13 isn't?

By 18, most physical and mental development is finished. In society, this age is usually enough to be considered legal for activities such as voting in government, living on your own, and they're usually finished or near finished their basic and non-optional education. By this point, parental consent is not needed for what it was before. [ A pause. ] At 13, there is still.. much growth for the child to go through physically and mentally.

Huh. Really.

Well, I guess that makes sense.

Aye. [ A nod. ] I'm.. aware you think not the best of humans, but I will answer questions you have if you would like. Your new position may require the odd bit of knowledge here and there.

Then consider yourself my number one resource.

I accept. [ A brief smile. If she wishes to ask Blackarachnia in return for Cybertronian information.. ] I hope that you will return the favor if I require it..? About Cybertronians, I mean.

Sure, why not.

[She shrugs a little. If Saber wanted to know more about her kind, that's fine with Blackarachnia. They are stuck here on Cybertron after all.]

Thank you, I appreciate it. [ A nod. ] Good luck with your duties.

Thanks.
