[So.

Wheeljack saw that cute little broadcast to the network looking for a police force. He had to give the little guy credit, he sure stuck to his job like glue. They were both pretty alike in that aspect, to say the least. The feed clicks on to show Wheeljack sitting, tossing his grenade up and down in one hand. After one or two tosses, he catches it, putting it back to it's home on his waist.]

So. Blurrk's makin' some kinda police force? Noble idea, guy. I'd join, but it ain't really my thing. Rules? Just get in the way, if ya ask me.

[There's a slight shrug.]

What can I say? I'm a 'loose cannon'.

So here's my proposition to ya. How about we make our own team of Wreckers? Dunno what a Wrecker is? Well here's the real deal, kids. Black Ops, guys who take missions the law enforcement's too scared to do. Warriors. That kinda deal, ya get what I'm sayin'? Workin' outside the chain of command on this one, not that there's one here really to start with.

No forms needed, they just clog the channels up anyway. And...let's be honest, ya might not make it past the first mission anyway.

[He leans back again, drawing out a sword and inspecting it.]

How's that for a nice alternative?

Can't really say I was goin' for 'inspiring'. More like 'admittin' the truth'.

[Because he's NEVER heard that combustion joke, Ambulon )8< ]

About the same need as a police force, don't ya think?

[ooc: WHY DO THEY LOOK ALIKE FUCK]

[ooc: laughs violently into the void]

Then you have to admit, it's probably a behavior you ought to rectify. You know, in case your 'loose cannons' cause an accidental 'badaft explosion of epic proportion'. [He will have NONE of your crazy Wrecker shit.]

A police force offers organization and basic laws to follow, but it also puts a restriction on certain actions. Because not every culprit needs to be beaten to deactivation upon capture or interrogation. I'm not saying the law is always just, and certainly there's corruption in any society, but that doesn't mean we should choose anarchy or violence in its place. So, yes, a police force sounds logical.

Wreckers are a last resort called in for more dire, non-negotiable situations, and certainly those are bound to arise - but where's the harm in taking part in the force until they do?

If I had a cube of energon for the amount of times I've been told that, probably could starve off all the Cons for the rest of the war. ...And ya got a problem with explosions? Get the job done if you ask me.

[The next part is just met with a deadpan stare, even if you can't see it, with his eyes deviating to other parts of the area. That wall sure is metally. Did he leave the Jackhammer running? Miko doin' okay?

Oh right. back to this.]

Logical, yeah. Police force just ain't my thing. Can't be tied down like they probably want.

Because explosions lead to extensive amounts of damage, and higher chances of unnecessary injuries and causalities. Because when the Wreckers are involved, you can bet there's going to be one Pit of a mess to take care of afterward.

[And you can't see his face but he's giving you SUUUUUCH A LOOK; old lecturing grandmambulon.] And we're not exactly at war here. And not all - not all Decepticons are as crazy and violent as you think, you know. At least not to the point where you have to deal with them using explosives.

Whoa, easy there, Captain Killjoy.

Not sayin' we're gonna go out bombin' Cons or anythin'. Specially in this world. Ya know 'Wave's good here? News to me.

[Don't give him that look MOM you don't understand his problems.]

[you're getting SUCH a time out right now]

[insufferable "confound these kids" sigh] I've treated dozens of patients with injuries due to reckless behavior, you see, so you you can probably understand why I'm wary of reckless behavior in general. But then you wouldn't be called the Wreckers, I guess, if you weren't. Medic's worst nightmare, sometimes.

[UGH...MOM...Drink your prune juice!]

Yep. Our name pretty much says it all, doesn't it.

[A beat.]

Ratchet says the same thing.

Maybe it's just a shared opinion between medics, or perhaps words of reason. [smug dick] Just think about it, though, because we may be facing an era where Wreckers may no longer be needed. [He's not trying to sound mean; actually, quite gentle though frank.]

Do you all throw things at our heads too? [Honest question there.]

[But the next part makes him slightly more serious.]

...Here, maybe.

Now why would I do that? That sounds completely unprofessional, for one. Secondly, I find a quick sedative injection to dermal seams along the neck when the patient is distracted to be more effective and fast acting, putting the subject out in a nanosec. [Is he joking? We will never know.]

[pause] Well, so far no one seems to have found a way to return back to their respective universes. We might be here a while. You might as well also consider other avenues to pursue in case your career as a Wrecker comes to a rather anticlimactic halt.

[This so feels like a parental talking-to. Ambulon you are like, his mom.]

...Ooookay! Glad to know. I'm sure that's useful.

[There's slight wavering in his voice.]

Guess I never thought about it. I'm a mechanic, but that's about it. Nothin' really left for me after this war. Not like I got anythin' to go back to.

[Lol self-appreciation issues ahoy.]

[Well, if you're thinking Ambulon's going to make you lunchables, mister, then you are wrong HMPH.]

Vector Sigma, we could always use good mechanics. Especially on a planet that may be lacking a great deal of them. Sometimes, you know, putting things back together can be more satisfying than blowing them up.

[pause] I'm sure the war took out a lot of our future plans in our universes; doesn't mean we can't make more. With your craft, that's what you can do, you know. Make a future; and again, working alongside the law would also ensure you'd still be in action. Just have a different set of protocols to follow, instead of the Wrecker's. [Wait do Wreckers even have protocols OH WELL listen to mommy she knows best.]

Ah, well. In the end, you just do what you think is best for yourself, even if in the end it really isn't. Especially given the new setting and all that scrap. Just please try to keep the explosions and damage to a minimum, okay? Assuming you don't irritate the Firstforged, well, first.

[Good because he wants hot lunch instead.]

Both are pretty satisfyin'. [There's a soft shrug.] What can I say? I'm uncouth.

I know you're tryin' ta look out for me, but sometimes a Wrecker's just a Wrecker.

[A sigh.]

Can't promise nothin', but I'll try. Learned pretty quick that makin' grenades in your room is a no-go.
