... There's a good amount of humans here, right? So, uhh...

[Being social. It's clear that Dead End hasn't been social in a long time. But when you spend most of your time brooding in the dark, you don't really have much time to talk to people... About things that aren't power cores and death.]

Someone want to tell me about your species? ... Maybe?

[Hound have been paying attention to what the others had been talking about, even if he'd kept mostly to himself. He didn't like to think about the idea of going crazy, of losing who he was but if that was going to happen...

He was at least determined to do something to help out those that would be left behind.]

This is Hound, reporting in.

I don't know what's going to happen at this point, I'm really not sure if anyone does completely considering some of the broadcasts I've been hearing and seeing--

[There's a weak smile there, his optics dim though they flicker every now and then, the scout fighting a wince here and there.]

--but whatever's going to happen, looks like it's going to happen.

This place is really amazing, really big too--and I've put together a map of everything from the border of the Badlands throughout almost all of Haven. Just impu-ulse I guess.

[He pauses for a moment, optics flickering some as he puts a hand to his head.]

There's also notes about the terrain and how easily accessible things are. Just doing what I do best I guess. I can transfer it to whoever would like it--whoever might want to fi-inish it, given I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

[The backdrop is definitely the organized interior of the Police Headquarters. McCrane, however, is standing in the open doorway, and the sound of a high-speed racecar can just be heard zooming away.]

This is McCrane, of the Brave Police. I am alive again, for those I have not had the chance to get in touch with yet.

[There were a few, and he felt badly. Especially since he was still coming to terms with having died.]

Blurr and I have encountered a Priority One situation. Overlord has...

[How can he explain this?]

...has been released by Megatronus Prime. Please exercise caution if you are outdoors. We will be attempting to rectify the situation.

[They already were, as Blurr was racing off to keep an eye on Overlord and talk to Megatronus while he made this announcement.]

We have also apprehended the murder suspect Pharma. Law Committee, I am awaiting further instructions on what course of action to take.

((OOC NOTE: REPLIES WILL BE FROM BOTH MCCRANE AND BLURR.))

[The video is a bit fuzzy, the screen smudged with what appears to be soot, or some other dark material. Perceptor himself is much the same, though he doesn't appear to notice in the slightest.]

[He actually looks amused. He holds up one hand, to gesture at the camera -- and there are blackened rings of something around each wrist.]

Good news! I've managed to make progress in several projects I've been working on recently, and they may prove of some use to the populace.

For starters... there was a personal defense weapon for a specific individual...

[Cough - Ambulon - cough.] So. If they would be so kind as to inform me of their coordinates, I can send the prototype there with all due expedience.

Secondly... In response to the ah... issue at hand, that involving those without Glyphs, I may be able to offer a temporary solution to any sudden bouts of destructive mania.

[He holds up what appear to be a perfectly normal pair of... handcuffs. Cybertronian style, but still.]

Temporary. The effect I've designed won't last terribly long, but. It's a start.

....help......

[Voice first, quiet and strained.  After a moment, the feed switches to video, panning around the small room Ironfist's been using as a workshop.  It's littered, now, with broken bits of metal and cloth, that may look suspicious like Liege Maximo's Acolytes.  They look as though they've been...exploded somehow. ]


Please. I couldn't stop myself.

I'm bad.  

My head.

It's...

[The feed cuts, abruptly.]

((OOC: People involved in the Ironfist takedown, let's do it! Also, anyone else is welcome to respond, too.))
