As some of you might recall the necessity of a multi-universal law enforcement system has been brought up.

All societies have the right and duty to establish their own laws to protect their people and bring the victims among them whatever restitution they're due.While this planet may not fit the traditional definition of a society according to each individual's standards there are commonalities binding all of us and situations occurring which fall outside any individual jurisdiction. A committee of law officials, a police force and a general system of redress are necessary to prevent more violations of people’s rights.

The obvious question you might have now, I suppose, would be: who would compose this committee of law officials? Who would regard them as worthy of their position and respect? And, of course, how to deal with criminals who are beyond normal bounds of civil behavior?

The law committee members would be determined by popular vote and you all are free to submit an application. The issue has already brought up briefly to some of the FirstForged, sir Vector Prime and sir Prima. I plan on asking them if they can make sure that above else there won’t be any sort of bias or corruption in regards of the vote/selection. We need a stronger power.

The basic idea is for law officials of different worlds to come up with a system that could be posed for everyone to see and then voted on. We're looking for volunteers to serve in the law-making body of the organization and especially those who possess a background in the fields of law enforcement. Below you have a formal application to fill out if you are interested.

Regardless, once the committee is established and a list of laws is set, if some citizens do not agree with a law, they can demand a referendum. Nothing would be done without a consensus. We have to work on all this together, not make our lives harder. And we will need to build up some more structures to make this work.

Committee and Laws aside, I would like to take responsibility for the Police Force. Law enforcement is a high-stress, people-intensive profession. Those who are interested in join the police force will have to fill a job application, pass a psychological evaluation and perform a fitness test. I won’t be making those up, there are standards police entrance tests. The new recruits that need some training will also be assisted by one or more Drill instructors.

Thank you all for your attention, any sort of input is appreciated as well as questions.

I think I'm already disqualified, Blurr. I'm not exactly felony free.

[a deep vented sigh. This is what he wanted, so why does he feel so...

nervous?]


It's not the work. And I trust you. Implicitly. And that makes me question myself, actually. Look. ...Blurr...

--You're gonna blow a gasket trying to do all this yourself. I want to help you. But I want you to know I have reservations.

[attached document;
Full Name: Starscream
FirstForged alignment: Liege Maximo
Credentials: Postwar Decepticon Representative on (homeworld) Cybertron, mediating disputes between Bumblebee and Metalhawk. During the war I served the Decepticon cause under the mighty Megatron and challenged the corruption of the entrenched Senate, as well as its supporters, who would later become Autobot High Command and co.

For my part as a high ranking officer in the Decepticon Army after losing the war, crimes against sentient species etc, I was held in custody briefly in the Kimia Facility and outfitted with a killchip, before the Autobots released their prisoners in exchange for assistance putting down a neutral riot. I then attempted to work towards better housing conditions and did not petition for the removal of the chips. That was Metalhawk's idea.

Technically I'm still under watch. Back there.

Here, I haven't done anything worthy of criminal note, though I did assist one incredibly self-effacing Elite Guard (answers to 'Blurr') in capturing Prism after he repeatedly outraged a number of Autobots and Decepticons alike.

I'm proud of you, it's big to ask for help when you know you need it but you don't want to appear ...weaker. [he considers the question, and then shakes his head] I don't want to disappoint you.

Oh, I didn't mention the killchips before, huh. They detonate inside the brain module. Instant death. Of course, that was only if we didn't behave. [good old Blurr, he knew he could count on him to be morally outraged by the Autobots' ...questionable ethics in his world. Blurr is a decent guy.]

Thank you. I'm not expecting anybody's going to vote for me, and probably ten mechs will have a specific problem with me, but. ...You deserve an attempt.

I understand how that feels. When I led the Decepticons I could've used some advice, but I was--[a stubborn dick terrified into static indecision]--trying to fake it until I could make it.

Bumblebee had it, yeah. And I'm trusting you by telling you this--I haven't had it removed. It's just deactivated right now, but that could change. [and if the surgery weren't pretty complicated, he'd already be in trying to get it out.] ...so keep it between you and me. [hesitates] Please.

[dammit Blurr this being cute thing has to stop.] Uh huh. If I get in, that'll be what I work for, too. I like seeing all the angles.

Well, I trust you to tell me when I'm going overboard. ...and maybe I can do you the same favor.

[snerks at that--poor Bumblebee.] It's not like he didn't try to use it, either. Not on me, but--Bee's the kind of mech who has a hammer and thinks his problems look like nails.

Thanks, Blurr. ...Barricade? [he sounds surprised.]

My thoughts exactly.

Bee as good as did. He tried to activate Horri-Bull's chip, Ratbat had already hacked it into deactivation, but in order to make Bee believe he wasn't tampering with the devices, the 'Bat had Horri-Bull killed. Not that 'Bull deserved anything less than execution, but you understand why it made me nervous.

[he hesitates] We'll make time. If you'll be around, I mean. While it happens.

[and then he's all confidence again] I don't need luck, but it can't hurt. Thanks.

You're right. And there's not much opportunity to make up for mistakes if you're not functioning anymore.

[he's beyond touched by that, so it takes him a second of clumsy fishing to reply] I-... you're the best Autobot I've ever met.

That or you don't understand how good you are. [firmly] I know we're both stubborn, but I'm not losing this one.

I think I wouldn't mind losing a war to you, is all I'm saying.
