Ugh, it's always handcuffs!

Someone come and get me out of these things; Blurr slapped some kind of cuffs on me and I can't even move now.

What a pain!

Gunmax.

Deckerd.

Please tell me what happened.

... [Ugh, you said please.]

I was going to shoot Prism. Eventually.

... Gunmax, I know it's upsetting, but what if killing him activated those explosives?

More over, when have we ever seen it fit to execute a prisoner? No matter what they're threatening.

And what if it didn't?

In case you hadn't noticed, there apparently isn't a single damn law here! The Firstforged don't care what we do unless it's picking on their acolytes. And Prism definitely had no business messing around with one of our own! Or am I alone in that sentiment?

You don't know that for sure. Acting rashly right now is the exact opposite of what we need, Gunmax. And it's not that I don't understand. I do. What he did to our friends is... it's damn wrong on so many levels. But we've dealt with these kinds of things before, and we came out on top. Don't lower yourself to that level, Gunmax. You're a good officer.

You aren't alone, he had no right to do what he did to anyone. I think we do need a set of basic laws here and a police force beyond vigilantism here. But right now, we need to get this sorted out without throwing our morals away and making killers of ourselves.

Right, we don't know anything, I just...

[Gunmax eventually gives a frustrated noise, because he knows he can't fight Deckerd on this. Maybe it was stupid and impulsive, sure. And Gunmax hasn't acted this way since they first met, even.]

...I would have taken responsibility. I can work by myself when I have to, you know!

[Ha ha, no. He really can't.]

You are a part of a team, Gunmax. It means we all take the fall together if one of us does.

... but it also means you're not alone. You never will be as long as I'm around.

Please don't throw that away because of someone trying to work everyone into a panic. We've dealt with people like this before. As long as we stick together, we'll all be okay.

...Damn it, Deckerd.

[He sighs, almost a bit miserably. No. He's not alone. Not anymore, he knows that, he just. Kind of couldn't help his reaction, bad as that is.]

Don't make a promise you can't keep, okay? What if you disappear like Breakdown?
