[Police Headquarters][Open][SLIGHTLY back-dated]

[mccrane]

This is...a general...alert.

[The video shows McCrane, who is trying to look very composed despite his voice sounding haggard and his green optics glowing very dim.]

The prisoner...

Ratchet.

He escaped...from his cell a few...minutes ago.

[Those who know the police headquarters well miiight recognise that McCrane appears to be resting on one of the bunks in the prison, leaning heavily against the wall.]

I am sorry.

[Locked to fellow Police members.]

Prowl. Blurr. I...I am malfunctioning.

[McCrane does not understand the idea of being sick. He was not programmed to be sick.]

I need...one of you...to take over operations here. The rest of you...please begin tracking down the prisoner.

[That is the extent of his tactical expertise right now. He's trying. He's really, really trying.]

Get away with what? Casually walking out of my cell while you flopped around uselessly on the floor?

It's a bit late to make a claim like that.

[This is embarassing. It's one thing to be overpowered by a superior force, its another to be overpowered by an ILLNESS.]

You will not get away with...infecting the Haven. We will capture you...

[He winces, his anger taking its toll.]

And we will find a cure.

I'm so flattered you think I'd be able to engineer a sickness then infect everyone in the Haven!

Try harder, idiot. That wasn't me.

You have...a motive.

You had...an opportunity. I will need proof that it wasn't you.

Re: private

A motive? I've just arrived!

[shrug.] I suppose I cannot disprove you. However, if it was me, you would probably not be alive.

[mccrane]

And you've already committed a crime, and are now insinuating that you would take my life...

You could kill anyone you wanted to with the Haven like this.

Who else would do it but you?
