[video] Transmitting from the Hub

[raceme]

[Blurr knew that his post is mostly aimed to Cybertronians. However, he hopes the organics will listen to as well. Considering, the last problematic events and the recent anniversary he felt like speaking up.]

Some of us had been here for a whole year. Many ^{things have} happened, good and the bad. Some of them really bad. [Blurr huffs, briefly, the shadow of a smile in his lips for a second before it’s gone.]

For all is worth, I plea to those who have trouble forgetting the past to take a moment of their time to remember _{that no matter what universe} you come from, what factions ^{you sympathize} with, we all came from the same place and we will be all reunited again in death. Perhaps it’s time to be brothers again here before our time comes.

There was that organic… I learned about him when I was on Earth. He said "A house divided against itself cannot stand".

The last time we lost our freedoms, the last time we lost our home, and it was because we destroyed it ourselves. I’m not asking you all to get along; I only hope that we don't repeat the same mistakes we did in the past.

Thank you for your attention.

I know that some of you might be nervous after the recent announcements and actions of your leaders. I already talked to some about this but I’d like to extend my offer to all of you.

A mech’s freedom is his own business and it’s the Police Force duty to prevent and redress all possible wrongs. If you are coerced into doing something you don’t agree with or you believe that you might be in danger please let us know.

We will do our best to protect you. You have my word.

Your little police force hasn't been able to do much of anything so far. I doubt that's going to change anytime soon.

[raceme]

No society is without flaws, we are learning from our mistakes and trying to improve every day.

Do you think a world ^{without order or law} would be better? A place where _{people could kill each} other because they didn't like how they looked at them or who they were dating?

[He's not saying anything specific in an open post because he doesn't want Dead End or Rung in trouble, but you guys should be more careful when you make out in the open.]

[dinnerdate]

We already live in a world like that. Barely anyone here listens to your laws to begin with.

[raceme]

If you say so, Dead End. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but we will still keep trying.

[audio from prison]

[my_own_trope]

Sounds like someone's worried about gathering Decepticon power~. If you want to surrender, you'll just need to try harder.

If I were you, I'd give begging a shot.

[>8/]

[raceme]

Hardly. You have an interesting way of thinking, though, I can't say I'm surprised.

Not my thing, sorry to disappoint.

[if you were to look over, he'd wave]

[my_own_trope]

It won't be much of a disappointment when your spark is snuffed by whomever it is that's got you shaking in your casing.

[namesnotprowl]

[Why did you have to start off with the whole 'reunited in death' thing, it just makes him wistful to go back home and face the inevitable so he can see his old friends again.]

But you didn't lose your home. Now did you?

[He pauses for a moment.]

And will you protect us from yourselves?

[raceme]

[He didn't mean to make you melancholic, Cade, honestly.]

Not in the same way you did, no, but I'm not a stranger to War either. I never claimed to understand the level or you pain, just to give this new world a try.

Someone who wronged me were here as well, time ago. Do you think I didn't want vengeance? Do you think I didn't crush him like he did to me?

[He can't say h wasn't expecting this. Blurr nods.]

If necessary, yes.

[namesnotprowl]

[Really, his choice at this point is melancholy or paranoia.]

I've been trying... but it's starting to look very much the same around here. Especially lately.

[Between his own Megatron and Chromedome it's starting to look exactly the way it has for him since forever. People trying to rein him in to their war effort and someone with sticky cables - or finger needles - looking for a place to jam them in.]

Mm. Then I pray you can. I like you, Blurr... but I don't have much patience for those that would use me instead of ending me. And those sorts of folks would reflect poorly on a great many people here, I think.

[tearsofsteel]

Abraham Lincoln's a guy we can all learn from. Well said.

[raceme]

That one! That was his name. [Blurr smiles. He's glad someone agree.] The things I've read about him on the net were interesting. Did ever meet him?

[tearsofsteel]

I'm too ahead of his time. He was one of those few guys who fought for his beliefs.

[perfavore]

I will never make peace with them.

[The only one who came close was Barricade, who'd given up his badge. Even then, he had to hold himself back from clawing out his face.]

Not after what was taken from me.

[raceme]

I can understand that. I also know that nothing I can say will assuage the anguish of your bereavement.

Seeking them and kill them _{will really make} you feel better? It won't bring the loved and ^{lost back. Vengeance} is one of life's great motivators but also the most self destructive one.

[perfavore]

Please. I am no idiot. Killing them will only bring them back.

You can preach to us all that peace will be our only alternative, but reality will set in soon enough, dragonfly. I am impressed by your ambition to unite us.

But as demonstrated by Tarn, it appears not everyone wants to play the same game.

You adapt, or you rust.

[winged_knight]

Blurr. Thank you for saying this. [He smiles fondly.] It's amazing isn't it, realizing we've been here that long?

[raceme]

Thank you for listening, Wing. I don't _{know if it will} helps matter but it was worth a try.

[He's not getting a very positive response, but he was expecting that. He gives the white mech a smile too.]

Times flies so fast when you are busy, I barely noticed it.

[winged_knight]

It's always worth the attempt, thank you for the effort. Perhaps the more of us they hear it from, the more who will listen.

[A sad fact. This place already seems too rooted in negativity. In a way, it feels like failure for Wing.]

It does. And you work hard Blurr, Haven is lucky to have you.

[aerospacecommander]

It's nice to know that I have your support.

[video]

[raceme]

I support the idea that we need to get along. [Not the same as supporting you, Stascream. Close enough, perhaps]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

That is essentially what I said, isn't it?

[Private: Video]

[treacherous_widow]

[Blackarachnia can be seen clapping her claws.]

Nice speech.

[Private: Video]

[raceme]

[Blurr's not sure if that's an ironical clapping or not.]


Thank...you?

Re: [Private: Video]

[treacherous_widow]

[You can take it however you want Blue.]

You're welcome.

So I have a question for you Blurr. What do you think of a bot that isn't a Decepticon or an Autobot attempting to run for Overseer?
