So.

What does one have to do to join the illustrious Police Force?

[Oh god what are you up to Megatron.]

You're taking this awfully well...

[Which actually worries him. Fracas has to pause to think, and when he speaks next it's carefully, like he's rolling the words around in his mouth to see how they taste before he says them.]

Ah. It's. Difficult, sir. T-to be loyal, when you wake knowing that a significant number of those like you are dead and... not knowing if it matters to any of the officers that command you.

Especially when you find out that it. Really doesn't. To the officers that instigated the slaughter.

..."Significant number"?

[The friendly tone he was maintaining immediately disappears, lowering dangerously until it's very clear that he's not happy.]

Explain.

[Breathe. Just give the report. Just give the report. Just give the report. Breathe.]

Knock Out and Starscream turned Cylas into some kind of... Terrorcon hybrid. He started eating Vehicons for their energon and they became like him and started attacking the other Vehicons.

At least a third of us are dead including most of Maintenance and the Insecticons left in the middle of cleanup. Knock Out and Starscream were no where to be found during cleanup; the preliminary reports I heard had them avoiding all areas of combat entirely.

[He clears his vocalizer before adding-]

I'm... willing to submit to a psychic patch if you need more proof, my lord.

[To say that Megatron is furious is like saying a tsunami is just a wave.]

I shall talk to Shockwave and see if we cannot set up a session.

[He'll need proof before he does anything to Knock Out. Starscream's beating is inevitable.]

[redshirtrobot]

Of course, my Lord.

[Fracas somehow manages to limit his terrified shrieking to being mental. He has heard bad things about psychic patches but... well. It was the only thing he could think of. Otherwise it's just his word against theirs.

He's more than aware of what his word is worth if he doesn't step up.]

[deceptionshark]

Shockwave will contact you when he is ready.

In the meantime, try not to go anywhere, Fracas.

[redshirtrobot]

I'll be right here, Lord Megatron. I swear on my spark... and those of my fellow Vehicons.

[Scared as it makes him, wanting some kind of vengeance for his brother mooks overrides his fear.]

[Not a comment but...]

[deadlydoctor]

[Knock Out's going to find you and murder you for this, Fracas. ]
