[Blurr is sitting in front of a door and those familiar with the structure will be able to tell he’s in Liege Maximo’s Temple. He a scratched all over but still has all his limbs, the only thing missing is the Elite Guard badge on his chest but that’s Swindle’s fault. The door behind him has the letters [C.A.U.T.I.O.N.] written in it under a drawing of the Elite Guard symbol. It also seems to have seven millions of locks and then more. Blurr finally speaks, sounding a tired but serious.]

686 Ebullient Prism is under the Elite Guard custody now. [Don’t mind the fact that Blurr’s the only Elite Guard agent in the whole planet.] His psychopathic tentacle pet monsters was intercepted as well you all can thank Starscream for that. I ran away in the end though.

I know that many of you would like to have a few minutes alone with Prism but I’ll give you three reasons why that’s a bad idea:

The ^first one: if you try to override my locks and get inside this room that will make me be a very unhappy mech. [And no one wants that, Blurr would make sad puppy eyes at you. And then put a pair of stasis cuffs in your persona too.]

The ^second one: not just because someone deserves to die that gives you the right to kill them. [Blurr even delivers the line at normal speed, he wants to make sure everyone gets it.]

And LAST BUT NOT LEAST no one is allowed to kill him or torture him, Barricade and Starscream I am looking at you two, because we need Prism alive to make sure he deactivates the explosive he put inside the mechs he attacked.

Wheeljack in case you are looking for one of the bombs you made that's now missing...Prism has it. INSIDE HIM.

[Is that true, is that a ruse...it's actually hard to tell because Blurr's face is blank of emotion. Blurr is silent for a few seconds after that, letting the information sink in. At this point the camera swings over to reveal that Starscream is actually standing nearby, with a couple dings and scrapes up and down his frame and wings, adjusting his shoulder-mounted weapons uneasily--his optics widen a little at that last sentence and he shoots a look over, but doesn't say anything--yet.]

Thank you for your time and take care.

[and now Starscream butts in with an engaging, appreciative smile--first at Blurr and then at anyone who might be watching] I'm happy to report nobody was hurt badly and there was no major property damage, and that Blurr and I--Starscream, of course, your humble helper--were overjoyed to assist in making you all lead safer, more stable lives. [Torture references or no torture references. He adds] If anyone has further problems, don't hesitate to contact me about them.

[Not exactly locked to Barricade and Ratchet but this is only interesting to medics.]

We have one tentacle intact from that machine Prism was controlling ANY of you want to give it a look and figure out how it works and if that can help us to fix Soundwave and the others?

[...there's a pause before Vector responds. his voice is rather...neutral.]

I would not go behind my own brother's back.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Alright, look, it's not like it would be a bad request or something, I just don't want him knowing I wanted something and didn't come to him about it.

It's not my intention to offend either of you.

[vectorianpolarity]

Hm. What would you ask from me that you would not from him?

[ex_dishonestly997]

Nothing necessarily, it's just that it looks like we did you a favor, and what I'd be asking would also benefit everybody.

Just hear me out?

[vectorianpolarity]

The favor done was to your fellow Refugees. I simply offered my commendation.

[but he seems as though he's listening.[

[ex_dishonestly997]

[forges ahead with this suggestion] We need a temporary holding facility for dangerous individuals, in the future. There's no legal system, there's no police force - except Blurr, and let's face it, even he can't be everywhere at once. Just locking multiple murderers in their rooms is a stopgap.

[vectorianpolarity]

...I can understand your reasoning, but why would you want this hidden from Liege?

[ex_dishonestly997]

[after a beat, he taps the glyph] Because I don't want to end up serving two masters. I'm happy where I am, but I don't know how he feels about consorting with other FirstForged, yet. I'd rather he not kick me out.

[vectorianpolarity]

Mm. I will tell you it is not the first time that one from one has sought another's aid, and it will not be the last.

I will also tell you that I will not lie to him...but I will not bring this up, myself. [it's about the most he can - will - do.]

With all of that said...a facility may be of an aid with...dangerous beings, but our experience with such has been primarily with those without Marks of Primus. We do not hold those.

[they kill them. :|]

[ex_dishonestly997]

Thanks, I get that that's the best you'll give me.

--I'm guessing execution is your go-to.

If I thought that would get support, I'd probably be for it myself, but there are a lot of vocal autobots here who believe in imprisonment, we just don't have the facilities for it.

[vectorianpolarity]

The Glyphless become more and more powerful over time. If there is a way to restrict their power from the Lambda, then it has yet to be put in to use. Containment only works for so long, even for those of us with...facilities...to perform such.

[read; not him.]

..is all that is needed, then, for it to be constructed?

[ex_dishonestly997]

Something else we should be getting to work on. If we can't go home. You know, personally I'm a little worried there won't be a home to get back to.

Yes. That's all I ask. I'm sure we'll find people willing to help man it. Autobots online for that stuff.

[vectorianpolarity]

Sending you home is one of the projects I have taken under my personal consideration. If it is possible, then it will be done. [he's firm on this. it just may take...time.]

And...perhaps there would also be an 'Autobot' who was online when one was constructed?

[ex_dishonestly997]

Well, I appreciate that.

...Sorry?

[vectorianpolarity]

My knowledge in constructing that type of building is...limited, to say the least. I would not know where to begin. But if there was someone else who was experienced in that construction...

[ex_dishonestly997]

...Then I'd ask you for a different favor.

[vectorianpolarity]

Such as?

[ex_dishonestly997]

No idea. I'm winging this.

[vectorianpolarity]

[there's a noise that could be a suppressed chuckle]

When you decide, I will hear it.

[he's not promising anything. but he's at least, apparently, receptive to the idea.]
