[video] [Locked to Brave Police and Kagerou]

[Drift can't imagine the mechs he saw give their all to help fight the sharkticons as dangerous or threatening. They were good mechs, sparks in the right place, brave and honorable. Gunmax had nearly died, fighting to protect a world that wasn't even his. ]

[But at the same time, he doesn't disbelieve Kagerou. He can recognize that tone of borderline fear and desperation. And if what Kagerou is saying is true...?]

[This is all a mistake. A misunderstanding. It needs to be straightened out one way or the other. If he needs to protect Kagerou, he will.]

[He pings the Brave Police, then Kagerou. The new arrival can listen in, even if he doesn't say anything, so he can hear for himself.]

Brave Police.  There's something I need to talk to you about.

[Ouch. Rough start. He sighs, thinks, starts again.]

Whatever was on your world, your Japan, it's not here. Old grudges, old missions. They don't apply here.

[He frowns.]  You're honorable mechs; can I have your word on that? 

[There's clearly something behind why he's asking.]

Yes. Thank you. And I'm sorry for being cautious. I didn't mean to imply..well, anything.

I can understand.

From Kagerou's point of view we must seem...not like the bots you know. For most of us, it is a situation we regret.

I am glad you spoke with me about it.

I saw you all fight to protect this world which isn't yours. I didn't see what he was saying but, [he gives a soft laugh, ] I've been wrong before.

We've all been there. [They'd been wrong about Kagerou to begin with, after all.] It's why it is important that we all watch out for each other.

[And you watched out for him, and you've watched out for them. It's all even, in the end.]
