[Once everything has died down, no pun intended, Kagerou figures he may as well say something. The video feed clicks on to show the bird sitting against a wall in what is more than likely the medbay -- and though he is pretty beaten up, he doesn't appear to actually need to be in the medbay. Nothing is leaking and all his limbs are attached.]

[He stares into the video for a moment or two too long, debating what to actually say.]

... I've made the first arrest of my life. I was... part of a team, today. I felt... as if I had a place.

[He trails off -- this is huge, why don't you look happier, birdbrain?]

But it feels wrong. None of that was anything... [He shakes his head.] ... Maybe a stealth unit isn't made for combat like that.

[His visible optic flicks over to something off-screen.]

Maybe none of us BP units are.

[It ends there. Except...]

[PRIVATE TO: KAY FARADAY]
I'm all right. I kept my promise, this time.

Life is hard to figure out. You get something you think you want and it doesn't always live up to what you imagined. For one reason or another.

[Oh hey, it's the lady bot. ... And that's a nice way of saying Life Sucks. Better than he's used to hearing.]

I should know that by now, you would think. After being here so long.

... Has it happened to you, too?

It takes a lifetime to learn.

Not quite, no.

A lifetime from your perspective... or a human's?

I would say that you were lucky, but. "Not Quite" doesn't mean no, does it?

I'd say it really depends. I've never been to Earth to have much experience with human lifespans.

Fitting in is... difficult. Figuring stuff out is hard. You might find that things that made sense before... don't. But mostly, I've just seen it happen to other people.

Such battles hardly ever turn out the way one wants. At least it's over now.

I... yes.

At least there's that, I guess.

[Guess what Kagebird, in medbays an clinics is were you can find the elusive Knock Out mech. He heard the ninja talking and approached him, a datapad in his hand.]

Or maybe you are all a bunch of idiots who tried to take down a decepticon who can destroy a whole planet single handedly. But who I am to judge the Police Force's decisions, hm?

[His shoulders tense, wings mantling up behind his shoulders. He doesn't lift his head.]

Don't. Call those who gave their lives idiots.

They will be back in a few days. [Knock Out shrugs. To him, this whole confrontation was a really stupid thing to do.] So will Tarn, with time. Mechs like him never really go away.

What were you thinking, though? You are going to leave the Police Force?

Tarn was never killed. Arrested. Locked away. [He shakes his head.] It doesn't matter if they'll be back or not -- they still died.

When did I say I was doing that?

I know he's not dead. My point still stands. [Remember Overlord and the others, Kagerou? No one seems to stay in jail for long here.]

That's how your announcement sounded like, you giving up.
