Emirate Xaaron points out, "You wouldn't just be doing it for the humans, Rattrap, you'd be doing it for you. Anything Shockwave is allowed to do unfettered will likely harm us in the end." So why is Emirate Xaaron smiling?
He nods to Nightbeat. "That's exactly what I want to do. We lose surprise and gain... personhood. It's one thing to steal and take apart a fancy robotic car. It's another thing to assist in kidnapping and torturing a person you saw helping out tsunami survivors on TV."

Rattrap, ever the optimistic and helpful person he is, makes a disgusted noise at Rodimus – and another at Xaaron. Maybe this won't be so bad if Rattrap can get up to business the way he likes. He won't do the Autobots any good if somebody gets the idea that Rattrap needs to go on diplomatic outings.
Unless the humans are all about the kind of diplomacy that involves slinging insults and holding blasters to people's heads. Rattrap can do that.
"There ain't no way this can possibly go wrong," he drawls in a low, insincere voice. Because their plans have always worked out so smoothly before, right?

"And saying things like that don't ever guarantee that they'll go wrong in the worst possible manner," Rodimus answers Rattrap brightly, wide grin on his face. He looks around at the others, then. "So we've got the broad outline of and time to work out the broad details on the way in. Anything else for now?"

"Pfff. Don't count on 'personhood' to protect us, Emirate. It's too easy to take away and the glitches you really have to worry about don't care whether you have it or not," Nightbeat says. Then he shrugs. "You're the boss. I'll just be sure to be ready for when things go wrong."

While the main crew is putting on a nice show for the hairless monkeys, Rattrap will have plenty of time to slink and skulk.
"I don't count on anything to protect us but us, and sometimes, not even that," Emirate Xaaron assures Nightbeat. Then he turns to Rodimus Prime and adds, smirking, "Well, there are those details..."
OOC: Fade out on planning nitty-gritty, with the assumption that appropriate officers would be called in when needed?

If Rattrap's free to work the best way he knows how, that improves the situation. A little. He still reserves the right to grumble about it.
"The fact we're people is half the fun fer wackos like Tarantulas," is all he adds on the status issue. "As fer the rest of this, I figure…."
OOC: Sounds like a plan.

When does Rattrap not reserve the right to grumble about something?
Rodimus's shoulders slump a little as Emirate Xaaron makes it clear that it's time for boring stuff right now. He sits on the edge of Rattrap's desk and listens to what the rodentformer has to say, ready to interject when appropriate.
OOC: Sure, sounds good to me.

"Unicron is in the details," Nightbeat quotes, laying his hands on the table.
OOC: Fade it out.
