[Open][A Call to assembly]

[mccrane]

[McCrane and Blurr are at Police Headquarters, the bustle of the main room behind them.]

I understand that some police activity has been under suspicion of late. Although I would like to assure the populace that the matter is being looked into, this message is not about that.

This is about keeping the Haven safe.

We believe a dangerous individual is at large. He has now struck twice, and we have evidence pointing toward an intended third target. There may be others on his list as well.

Currently, we are advising all individuals to stay on alert for the robot known as Tarn, and any of his possible accomplices, from his same world or not.. [A picture from Tarn's most recent transmission would be provided.] If you spot him, _please let us know im-me-di-a-te-ly and by no means try to confront him alone.

If you can help us find him...it would be for the benefit of all.

[Locked to Wreckers]

This would be your chance. We would appreciate your backup.

[Locked to Police Force]

I have divided our current members into teams of two officers each, which will be patrolling the area looking for signs of the suspect. We have secured additional weaponry at the Headquarters. I will be remaining here as backup and to oversee operations. Prowl, Blurr...you may remain with me or form a team together.

Ultra Magnus...

Please contact me as soon as possible.

[Locked to the Brave Police from McCrane.]

Please be careful. [If there is one thing he would leave the Headquarters for...it is all of you.]

[Locked to Nexus Prime from Blurr.]

A word with you, if you don't mind, Nexus's Prime.

Recently one of your glyphled, Ambulon, was severely hurt and driven to suicide. The Police Force is going to arrest the one responsible for it. I would like to know your stand on the issue.

I also know that Ambulon ^{would like} to speak to you. I believe that could help him to get through this hard situation.

[They are going to try arresting Tarn no matter what Nexus says, but having the FirstForged support would be great.]

[thxforthememories]

... I want to work alone.

Carefully.

[locked]

[mccrane]

I understand that desire, Kagerou...

But I'm afraid I have to refuse. This subject may be as dangerous as Overlord.

[And he does not want a repeat of that.]

You may take Drill Boy or Power Joe to back you up, however.

[Voice]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[There's a soft -shing!- of metal sliding across metal.]

Just tell me when and where. I'll have our boys ready and waiting.

[Voice]

[raceme]

it's good to hear such quick reply from you guys. We are almost done assigning partners, I will contact you again as soon as it's done. It won't take much.

[kungfugeek]

...McCrane.

[mccrane]

[No matter how he still tries to divorce himself from emotion, he can't when all of you are concerned.]

I mean it.

[originaldragoon]

It is good to know that something is being done. I will be sure to stay alert.

[raceme]

We wanted to establish a proper plan of action to avoid repeating the disaster that happened with Overlord. Take too, rose. We don't know where Tarn is now.

[Meanwhile, Tarn is just admiring how good he looks]

[songofmypeople]

[Because Damn, son, that is one fine ride.]

[The mask looks good (no it doesn't), not you Tarn]

[raceme]

[Voice]

[neverputincharge]

We'll be there fer the back up.

[Finally some fighting. Been a while since the last time.]

[Voice]

[raceme]

[Time to kick ass and take names.] I sure you are already. Tarn's a considerale threat, perhaps worse than Overlord, so be careful.

[Locked]

[perfavore]

Do you require my services.

[Locked]

[mccrane]

Mirage...

[He's so glad to hear from you, honestly.]

You are willing to help?

[Because he remembers how you felt about the brain needles...which was precisely how HE felt about them, also.]

[arnhaid]

Well it's about time some of you did something!

Primus.

[raceme]

[He's not going to excuse the Police Force because organizing things was hard enough and Blurr know those should have done quicker.]

You are in, I take it. Are you part of the Wreckers, sir? [He's not sure about that, so he better asks.]

[audio] who the HELL let him team up with Arcee

[zer0thassassin]

Let's race, bitches!

[audio]

[mccrane]

Race...where?

[Video]

[furryfarkinfiend]

[Paws resting on his laser pistols, Rocket's ears fall back a bit.]

Ready and waiting for a go.

[Video]

[mccrane]

What's your current location?

[littlecrowgirl]

[No way Kay's missing this opportunity.]

I want to help. Lay it on me, Chief!

[raceme]

Kay you don't have your armor ready yet and Tarn is too dangerous. I know that you are strong and capable but I don't want anything happening to you.

video; privatelocked with lots of padlocks

[fun_police]

I'd prefer it if I stay with you to oversee operations. I'd just slow Blurr down.

[And he's got the most experience in tactics and all.]

A preferable strategy would be to send scouts in to survey the area, and then infiltrate with larger, heavier units commanded by a single officer, rather than go off in pairs.

Thinning our numbers out leaves them open to be picked off by Tarn and any allies he may have at present.

video; privatelocked with lots of padlocks

[mccrane]

This should be fairly straightforward. We need as many individuals out in the field as we can spare, and you are a genius with noticing details.

[He thinks you have a better shot at finding Tarn than he does, and this is not a terribly complicated thing to coordinate.]

That was the strategy that we tried with Overlord. It...would have worked, except for the fact that he did not hesitate to attack the scouts. In pairs, we have a much better chance of one getting a message back while the other defends until backup can arrive.

I...

I don't want to put anyone out there alone.

[He didn't want people dying on a search mission.]

[Video - Locked to Police Force]

[notyourblueangel]

Under suspicion? Who?

[Naturally, he's assuming someone's been complaining about HIM. He /is/ the "token Decepticon" after all. He's been figuring someone would glitch over that sooner or later. Thing is . . . he's been a model member, so he can't think what he could have done wrong. Except...you know...exist. That alone is enough for /some/ people.]

Anyway . . . just tell me what where you need me, McCrane, Blurr.

[Video - Locked to Police Force]

[raceme]

[Oh, Thundercracker...]

Chromedome, after what happened between him and Tarn. I can't say I blame people for not trusting us completely.

Do you have a chosen partner already? If not we will assign you one intermediately and reorganize the strategy.

[Voice]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Damn right you could use our help.

[Voice]

[raceme]

If you need any extra weapons we still have some heavy one available at the headquarters. [Even though he's sure you all Wreckers come plenty equipped. ]

[Video;Locked]

[tearsofsteel]

Whatever I can do to help, I'll do it.

[Video;Locked]

[mccrane]

We are specifically looking to find Tarn, but finding his accomplices would also help. What is your current location?

[video; locked]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

How can I help?

[video; locked]

[mccrane]

Am...

Ambulon.

[It's so strange to keep seeing dead people.]

Could you come meet me at the police headquarters? I would like to talk with you further about Tarn.

[Please come help him make a strategy. Then he can get an official statement while you are there.]

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

[Excuse him while he laughs. Okay, he's done.]

You guys? Take down Tarn? Don't make me laugh [some more]! Yer all a bunch of frizz rats t'him! Whatta gonna do? Speedy gonna run circles 'round him while gabbin' his mouth off? Maybe sic Frank on 'im? An' Prowl's all gruff and talk but he ain't nothin'. Same wit' most of you's guys.

But, hey, it'll be fun t'watch ya'll fail like a buncha weak numbbolts.

[video] oops sorry we missed this

[raceme]

We don't need any insight from the peanut gallery, thank you so much.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Well, it's nice to see something is actually being done.

[video]

[raceme]

We are trying to be better coordinate this time, we don't want a repeat of the Overlord massacre. Kay will be coming to the medbay to help you all.

[Not Comment!?]

[we_re_doomed]

[Oh.

Oh oh oh oh.

Ohhhho no. He knows that face. And he realizes that this makes him an accomplice.

If C-3PO could pale and faint, he would do so. Looks like he'll have to stick to panicking.]

[Double no comment]

[songofmypeople]

[Shhh, little guy, it's okay. Everything is going to be fine.
Don't trust the political propaganda.

And get back to your homework.]

[Locked to Police Force and Wreckers]

[treacherous_widow]

Yeah. Good luck with your hunt. I doubt you morons have what it takes to bring down someone that may potentially be dangerous. Though, how would you like to add a little more weaponry to your arsenal?

You might have better luck with paralyzes and poisons then attempting to blow someone up or whatever it is your idiots do. And this way, no one can say you used excessive force to subdue your target and call foul play.

[Locked to Police Force and Wreckers]

[raceme]

Your faith on us is really touching, Blackarachnia. [How right might she be, Primus.]

Poison?

[Locked | Unhackable] sorry for late

[nexicpolarity]

So long as you've got the proof positive they're responsible, I'll support you.

[Nexus seems unnaturally grim. this isn't a laughing matter for him.]

-and I'll see if I can track him down. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Locked | Unhackable] It's okay! I jsut saw this too

[raceme]

We have Ambulon's word, among other proofs. I can send you a detailed report if you require one, sir.

[Neither is for the Police Force or Blurr.]

Thanks, that will be helpful. Once we caught him, though, we need to makes sure that he doesn't hurt anybody else and that he pays for his crimes.
