I don't understand it.

[Wow someone sounds upset. Again. Just when things were kind-of-sort-of looking up, too.]

We have a police force. We have a place to lock criminals away.

So what good is it if they just go free, and nothing's done to put them back! It's useless, isn't it!

[He's really upset right now, wow. Possibly with good reason... since there's a private message incoming.]


[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO: BRAVE POLICE UNITS]
There's another Ratchet here. He's... he's wrong. And he's interested in us.

Please. Tell me you're all right.

[Because he screwed up and attracted the crazy bot's attention. Oops.]

[it made ratchet very happy to see this pop up on the network during his daily "stalk everyone" tromp.]

You know, I thought the same thing!

[thxforthememories]

I have nothing to say to you.

Re: audio

[letmefixyou]

Will your police force not even give me the chance to clear my name? Hurting the moron who let me out of my cell was the one thing I have been charged with that I'm innocent of!

[and he really can't abide by that.]

You people have detectives, right? Use them!

Wow, sounds like I got here just in time for some fun police drama.

[thxforthememories]

Where are you?

[That may or may not be a little urgent-sounding.]

voice; private

[badboybikerbot]

I dunno, out. I'm trying to get used to this place.

[AND Gunmax sounds chill as fuck]

[Audio; Private]

[kungfugeek]

Oi, Kagebird! You gonna be a little less cryptic or are we gonna wonder what exactly's 'wrong' with this other Ratchet?

[Because all these current events are mind boggling--he could use something clear-cut for once.]

[Audio; Private]

[thxforthememories]

Tell me where you are, first.

[Yeah, good luck getting anything out of him just yet, PJ.]

[Audio; Private]

[kungfugeek]

Agh, you always make things complicated...


I'm at Solus's, happy?

's the nature of hero work. There always seems to be a next time.

[Someone is philosophical when short on sleep, apparently.]

[Voice-private]

[thxforthememories]

But why?

That doesn't make any sense! What's the point in this if it never gets any better!

[The questions of an AI barely over a year old. He's a frustrated, guilty child, more than anything.]

[0perator]

Because unfortunately being an evil prick is an easier way to get what you want than being decent. Even if you don't have persistent lunatics, there's always someone new.

Kagerou, you are a member of the Police Force yourself. The next time you feel this way I would appreciate it if you brought the issue to us before sharing it with the public.

This not only damages the reputation of the Police further but helps make the people more wary of coming to us for aid. What were you trying to accomplish with this?

We are trying to catch Ratchet, it's just not easy.

[thxforthememories]

I didn't have time to find you! To make a report!

How long has he been out? How come no one was warned? No one told to watch out for him?

locked | text

[raceme]

I didn't ask for a record. I'm sure there was someone in the headquarters to talk too, you didn't have to do this.

McCrane posted about it and everyone was warned about him when it happened. Where you not paying attention?

audio

[primest]

You've been here longer than me, how many times has this happened?

[because seriously this police force is pretty pathetic compared to what he's used to.]

audio

[thxforthememories]

Often.

The firstforged are to blame, sometimes.

Re: audio

[primest]

I want to be surprised that they've been involved before. Really, I do.

[that doesn't stop the soul searing rage from pressing at his spark, though. oh, how he missed it. except not.]

Do you have anymore information on how they break out? Or should I just expect it to have been "conveniently" lost?

[because that's probably what would happen back home. this is just embarrassing.]

[Video | Private]

[thankyou4myheart]

You mean the one who tried to put me in the medbay? Or do we have another "wrong" Ratchet running around?

[Yep, sarcasm. He's actually capable of it on rare occasion. Right now, he's more than a little upset himself, thanks. Over a small number of things.]

Something is being done, Kagerou. We are trying to find and arrest him! And the jail is built as strongly as was possible, but from what I've been told, it was cobbled together from whatever building materials could be found. It's not like the fortified prisons we have back home.

["You're a member of the police force, and you're the one with the spy systems, why haven't YOU found him yet?" - he's thinking it, but...he won't say it. DAMN does he wish Shadowmaru were here right now, though!]

[Video | Private]

[thxforthememories]

Yes! That one!

Then it needs to be made stronger somehow, or... or he needs to be restrained. They can do that here, can't they?

[He blames himself enough right now, more probably won't help anything.]

[Video | Private]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Which is why he's not saying. Perennial peacekeeper of the team, though that doesn't keep him from thinking things sometimes.]

…I don't know. You've been here longer than I have. If you find or hear of something stronger than what's already been used, we'll take it up with the Build Te-… ["team"…half-team, all /two/ of them…] …with…McCrane and Power Joe. And some of the other construction mechs, like Bulkhead.

Let's just concentrate on finding him first, then we'll worry about how to deal with him. What about your spy systems? Have they not turned up anything?

[It's not an accusation, merely suggestive, in case the distraught ninjabot hasn't thought to employ them himself for whatever reason.]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

If you think nothing's being done, get out more, Earth bot.

[That fragged-up excuse for a medic hurt McCrane . . . not to mention the talk about Seeker wings and threatening his firelizards. That glitch had better hope Thundercracker /doesn't/ find him before anyone else.]

[Video]

[thxforthememories]

Don't tell me what to do.

He's still free, so it's not good enough.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Perhaps the law is more in the hands of the police force now that the Firstforged are gone. Or at least their representatives. I'm not sure.

[Ye of little faith, too.]

[audio]

[thxforthememories]

It always should have been. They shouldn't be allowed to just free whoever they wish.
