So, what? This is how it's always gonna be? Buncha crazies can't get over old scrap running around killing each other? Aren't the big heads around here supposed to be lookin' out for that kind of thing?

I hate Decepticons much as the next Autobot worth their brand, but scrap if I'm gonna go out of my way to rip 'em apart for looking at me wrong.

... Punch 'em. Sure. But no one's gonna die 'cause of a punch.

Point is, this is stupid. When's someone gonna do something permanent about it? 'Cause obviously, just havin' a law enforcement team isn't doing anything.

Pretty damn near close to picking up my gun and doing something myself...

[And probably the only reason he hasn't is because -- well. What Would Optimus Prime Do?]

I hear you. So much for the so-called truce around here.

[Audio]

[arnhaid]

There's no truce if not everyone's listenin' to it. Which they aren't.

[Audio]

[young_upstart]

Yeah...but what do we do about it?

[Audio]

[arnhaid]

Hn. Beats me. I'm out of ideas.

[Audio]

[young_upstart]

Unfortunately, can't say I have any better. Well, except for the obvious but that probably won't help matters.

[imnotyours]

Don't do something too stupid.

But if you gotta punch someone, ain't no reason you shouldn't. Things are getting really bad and a good blow to someone's head might help.

[So much so that she was almost inclined to actually start using her room in Leige's temple.]

[Video]

[arnhaid]

I don't do anythin' stupid without a good reason to.

[Says the Autobot polishing his gun on camera.]

I don't got a target. Don't even know where to start lookin', so busting heads isn't gonna help anything right now.

[UNFORTUNATELY B(]

[Video]

[imnotyours]

Well, then don't be stupid, that's all I gotta say. Wait until you do, that's what I've always been taught.

[She crosses her arms, Pan appearing on her shoulder as a small falcon.]

And be careful, okay? I ain't gonna be happy if you get hurt!

[Video]

[arnhaid]

That's what I'm plannin' on doing. Which isn't stupid.

Oh yeah? Gettin' worried over me?

Re: [Video]

[imnotyours]

No! I'm just saying!

[Her? Worried? Never!

She huffs a bit, glaring off the side as Pan ruffles his feathers up.]

She is.

PAN!

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

Well, I've tried but no one ever wants to listen to me.

[video]

[arnhaid]

[Cue the flattest of flat looks.]

Huh. Wonder why.

[Can you hear the sarcasm there, Starscream? It's like a tangible force.]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

Yes, but, I've been trying to get them to stop killing one another.

[video]

[arnhaid]

... Uh huh.

I'll believe that when I see it.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

I guess you missed my speech.

[audio] lemme throw some gas on that fire

[zer0thassassin]

You're doing it wrong,
If they don't die when they're punched.
Where is the action?

[audio]

[arnhaid]

...

Say what now?

[audio] zer0 has of course never killed anybody for next to no reason. definitely.

[zer0thassassin]

Who's killing your friends?
I wish to investigate.
Sounds interesting.

[audio]

[arnhaid]

Who're you supposed to be, anyway?

[video]

[soniamwheel]

Decepticons brutally torturing an' killing people?

What a surprise.

[video]

[arnhaid]

Yeah, tell me 'bout it.

You'd think someone'd see this coming.

[kungfugeek]

Count me in with that. I'm ON the police force and it seems like it's sort of hush hush around here...

[Then again, Power Joe's been busy with 'days off' and 'golfing'...]

I'll have to get ahold of McCrane..

[arnhaid]

[You're on the police force. What.]

Why's the police force think it need to keep secrets, anyway?

Get hold of who?

[kungfugeek]

There's a few on there who seem to have their own agenda...

McCrane. He's...pretty much head of the force.

[arnhaid]

... What's goin' on, kid?

[Because THAT doesn't sound good at all.]

He an Autobot, or...?
