[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.

[Locked to the Decepticons | Excluding Tarn, Frenzy, bayverse Megatron and IDW Megatron.]

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.

[HE CAN HEAR YOU.]

If you have something to say, just say it.

[perfavore]

I could say the same about you, polizia.

Feeling guilty?


Although I will admit, I had Shockwave more in mind than you.

And...him.

[namesnotprowl]

Strange choice of phrasing if you had Shockwave in mind.

Not guilty. Just curious what warrants stripping the rights of half a demographic in this... burgeoning society of ours.

One that your boyfriend is convinced I still belong to.

Or would you hold everyone here accountable for all that killing they've done? Because I dare say if you did, there wouldn't be enough people left to bother with government systems.

[perfavore]

He murdered Jolt.

I do not see how giving the same rights to a mass murderer is equally as fair. And no offense to the cause you no longer belong to, but they come from there ninety percent of the time.

...We are not dating.

[Those wings fold down immediately, as if it struck a nerve.]

And I have had my words with him on that subject. I...as they say...stuck neck out for you.

[namesnotprowl]

And he and the other 'hide behind righteous reasons', do they?

Mm, ignoring all those... oh-so charming folks on your side of the fence, I see. I do have files on your people, after all. Sure they weren't updated after our ship crashed, but it's fascinating reading. Especially the kill counts.

[Barricade quirks both his right brow ridges.]

Yeah? And when were you planning on telling him you wanna change that?

You think he's gonna listen? His head is thicker than the Hoover Dam; ain't nothing getting though there. And I can handle myself. I'm not afraid of him, or whatever he thinks he knows or does with what he thinks he knows.

...Sentinel did.

[His voice is disgustingly venomous at even mentioning that name.]

...I'm not going to tell him. I am having enough trouble deciding how to break it to him. He's...noticing a difference in me.

[His wings flutter though, perking up.]

He's Sideswipe. Of course he won't listen.

Not about that, he didn't. And Chicago was a matter of what was more important to mechs: their homeworld, or the people producing nightly reports on 'can the Cybertronians be trusted'. Just goes to show our Primes aren't worth whatever trust their troops put in them; in the end both'll make the wrong choice.

Well when you live with someone they tend to notice that you don't sleep. Especially if you happen to share a berth with them.

[He flicks one clawed hand almost dismissively.]

Then why bother 'sticking your neck out' for me to him?

Locked

[perfavore]

Say what you will about Sentinel, but I will not allow you to speak of Optimus that way. You know as well as I do how touchy that subject is. Do not tread in too far.

[A...vague piece of advice? Sorta... More like a subtle threat.]

...

You've aided me. As fruitless as it was, I would do the same. I cannot guarantee results.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

And threatening the mech keeping your secrets is a particularly poor idea. A subject being 'touchy' has never kept me from it before.

[Considering he's willing to needle at servants of Unicron in person...]

Taking on tasks you know you will fail? Careful. Someone might start to think you have a complex.

Locked

[perfavore]

So tell me, Barricade. Why do you keep MY secrets? They do not benefit you in the least.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

To which I ask, why would ask that question? Because now I'm wondering why I bother when there is nothing I get out of this arrangement.

Locked

[perfavore]

It was rhetorical, polizia.

You keep the secret for the same reason I stick my neck out for you. At least that is what I believe.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

And what reason is that?

Locked

[perfavore]

...

It is as you said. I do not know.

Perhaps we're not meant to.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

If we're not meant t'know something so small, what's that say about everything else?

Locked

[perfavore]

That it's trivial, I believe.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

There are very few instances where the things I don't quite understand are trivial, Stallion.

Locked

[perfavore]

We could make this complicated, if you'd like.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

Autobots and Decepticons are always complicated. Whether we admit it or not. Even if they're former members.

Locked

[perfavore]

Then perhaps we are merely idiots.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

Here I thought that was just me.

[The flattest attempt at humor.]

Locked

[perfavore]

As did I.

[Have some humor back, Barricade.]

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

Does this mean I get t'call you idiota now?

[The Tease is strong with these two.]

Locked

[perfavore]

Do not push your luck, polizia~

Is much more complicated than that, as you say.

Locked

[namesnotprowl]

Ruining all my fun.

That's fine. I can come up with more interesting things t'call you. It being so complicated and all.
