[Video] [Transmission originating from: Prison!] - Eleventh Offense

[namesnotprowl]

[Oh look, it's Barricade! But he's looking a lot more like himself. He even has his firelizard perched on his shoulder... who is probably the one that got him his Link back, the dastardly creature.]

Mm. I don't suppose I could convince anyone to come let me out of lock-up by showing off these legs of mine. Could I?

Or this new-slash-old facelift of mine.

Well. Even if it don't, I'd be ever so glad f'r a visitor or ten. Does get awfully boring here.

I am. And I'm certain. I've met a mech'r two that worked directly for Unicron. And the FirstForged? Well.

They're basically demigods in their own right.

[thankyou4myheart]

[He's silent for a moment, recalling his encounter with Prima. While he's not prepared to call the great being a "demigod", he does admit that he seemed extremely powerful.]

"The Destroyer", hm? How are we dangerous to him? All of us, or just Cybertronians?

Because all of the living serve Primus, no matter what they do or if they realize it. And everything that we're doing here - the buildings, the exploring, the laws, all of it - helps ready the world to be Primus's body in this dimension.

Which I'm pretty sure Unicron doesn't want. At all. He'll slow us down, turn us, or kill us, to make sure Primus doesn't get a foothold.

[As far as he's heard anyway.]

Others would know more than me, though. Everything I know's been from stories supplied by other folks.

[thankyou4myheart]

[Honestly, it all sounds like much of the same doctrine as some of the religions on Earth.]

[He doesn't know what to make of that.]

I see. You believe the stories, though?

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Ironically, it kind of is. But with the actual thing actually around.]

I believe what I've seen. And what I've seen is a lot of incredibly powerful agents of Unicron attempting to recruit me to destroy various things... this planet included... and taking my decision of 'no' very poorly.

[He believes in the beatings he's suffered and the impossible warping of Ramjet's body.]

[Okay, that brings out the policeman/detective in him as he frowns at the allusion.]

You've been assaulted? When and how, if you don't mind me asking.

It was a long while back. One of my friends... was who he used to be. I didn't join him as an agent of Unicron and he took a lot of offense. With his fists and a rifle.

[And Barricade won't say it, but he'd hoped it didn't end with him just incredibly injured at the time.]

But even if they could be, I wouldn't want charges brought against him.

[Action]

[thankyou4myheart]

[The frown's still in place, but Deckard nods, accepting that.  After all, haven't they all just gone through essentially the same thing –people being affected and committing acts that they'll not be charged for because it's understood they themselves weren't at fault?]

  I'm sorry that happened.  To you and your friend.

  [And…he's at a loss.]

  Is there anything I do to help?  Or anything I can get you until Blurr gets in to get this matter cleared and closed?

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Me too. Just hopin' he found peace, one way or another.

[He never saw Convoy again, after the Glyphless started going crazy. So the best he can do is hope that things turned out all right, somehow.]

Nah, I should be all right f'r now. Rumble here brought me my Link and I think I c'n keep myself entertained for a while.

[Action]

[thankyou4myheart]

All right. I hope you’ll let me know if that changes. I’ll just be over in the bullpen, so I’m not far. I’ll come back later with energon.
