[ Arcee doesn't really want to stay hidden forever, as much as Prowl would prefer she did. She's been off the radar so long it was sort of second nature; it was what she knew and was familiar to her. It was a free world for her though. Prowl isn't her keeper.

The video is on and Arcee is out perched on one of the balconies on Leige's mountain, frost clinging to the thick cloth cloak she'd donned since her arrival. There's some tears, neat little slices in the looser parts of the fabric, the holster of her swords decorated in a dozen sharp blades-- remnants of her experience in the Badlands.

She pushes down her hood, pulling off her mask, and shakes her head as if clearing cobwebs out of her thoughts. Her helm has a few bits of scratched paint, a little bit of wear here and there. ]

I want to hire myself out to the police force.

[ Very peculiar choice of wording. ]

I'm experienced with handling the punishment of individuals who won't stay dead. Looks like you may be in need of that.

[ Spoken like someone who genuinely believes that this is a good experience. Her expression is almost uncharacteristically soft and sincere. To be fair, she really cares about the well being of Cybertron. ]

The Haven must be safe within the borders; what's outside is dangerous enough.

I figure you might be interested in hearing about my little trip. Megatron and I got to have some quality bonding time.

[Arcee why are you making public comm posts.]

[Look what happened. You could hear Ultra Magnus's frown through the audio feed.]

Consider me curious, Arcee. What did you find in the Badlands?

[ It's a free world, Prowl. And she wants to fit in. ]

Monstrosities, of course. Worse than the wilds of Cybetron had to offer. I'd say somewhere on par with the D-Void, though.

That's not what interested me, though. Megatron was fairly willing to indulge me in his experience with 'The Call'. Should he become a problem -- and he will -- we can probably use that.

[He gets an intrigued look on his face as the topic turned to Megatron. Monsters were expected, but having leverage against him was an opportunity that was too good to pass up.]

And what would we be using, exactly?

[fugitrix]

Well, wouldn't you know. He's still affected by the Call! And since he's so willing to leave the borders of the Haven, wouldn't it be convenient if he just... never returned?

[And a few things begin to click into his head. Arcee can probably recognize that he is pleased at the news.]

That outcome may not be so far fetched.

I know, right? I had an opportunity to make it a reality, but those humans you like so much are attracted to pink.
