re_alignment | [Open][Video; From Police Headquarters]

[The video is taken from inside the Police Headquarters, as it usually is from McCrane. It is zoomed in closer to him than normal, and those with high perception may notice a strange screeching noise in the background. However, McCrane begins as if nothing is wrong.]

This is a status report and also an inquiry.

The murder suspect Tarn and his associate, Kaon, were apprehended approximately a week ago. They are in our custody, restrained, with Tarn's vocal synthesizer...

[Hm. What is the right word to use for 'mostly ripped out and we decided to leave it that way but I feel vaguely bad about it but not as bad as I'd feel if he hadn't killed people who mean the world to me?']

...Offline. If any wish to reach him, they may do so through text. I would like to put it to the Judicial Committee and the Defense Committee to determine an appropriate punishment for the pair, though if anyone has any suggestions I will note them here.

Many of our downed officers have since resurrected, but there are a few individuals unaccounted for. Please, if you get word of them let me know.

[His constant state of worry has been higher lately, but at least this was not as bad as it could have been. Other inconveniences, however...]

[The background screeching intensifies, and McCrane's winces in pain just before the video cuts out.]

[Locked to Prowl]

[He looks normal enough by the time he sends this message at least.]

How should we go about feeding Tarn and Kaon?

...

Have we been feeding Tarn and Kaon?

[Locked to Gunmax]

When you come within transmission range of the Haven again, please let me know. I've been worried...

[Locked to Laharl]

[The close up view of McCrane finally pans out, to reveal a very demonic-looking penguin that was attached to McCrane's pointer finger--by its penguin teeth--the entire time.]

It has your name on it. Please stop by Headquarters to retrieve your lost belonging, and in the future kindly inform the Haven when a dangerous creature is loose?

About time, let's hope they stay that way.

[McCoy asked him about what the next step is, and now he too is wondering how this will go.]

He oughtta be kept silent, whatever the outcome. [Watching two people be affected by that voice is cringe worthy.]

That would be the most convenient, if...

[If terrifying Megatronus Prime hadn't told him otherwise.]

If we could. Our deal with the Firstforged states that we cannot have long-term incarceration, however...so we will have to come up with an alternative punishment.

I don't know that I had the opportunity to thank you, either. Without the help of the wreckers, this would have gone much worse.

Oh right, that. Uh...heard anything from them yet about it? [They should be saying something, right?] Maybe we can at least talk to them about keeping Tarn mute.

[At the thank you, he just nods. Giving a smile.]

Yeah, we worked together pretty well, didn't we? [Kind of surprising given this was the first time the PF and Wreckers had worked together, but it worked out well that's for sure.]

Just glad there were a lot less deaths this time.

They have not contacted me, no. Tarn seems to belong to Prima, however... [He sighs.] And he has been difficult to access in the past.

[Granted, he'd made time for McCrane before...which had always been appreciated.] I'll do my best to contact him.

It seems we all want the same thing, I think. The Wreckers, the Police...the Autobots and the Decepticons.

We all want the chance to live here peacefully.

I hope.

Huh, hope you can get a hold of him, then.

[Then again, all of the Forged always seemed tricky to contact to him, uness they contacted you first.]

I can't speak for every Cybertronian here. But I know I'd rather not see a war break out on this Cybertron. Not after the one back home killed ours.

But ain't gonna be easy with 'cons here looking to cause trouble.
