//Hmm, there was no mention of an Egg in the reports, but this is a different reality, so if it doesn't interfere with your other duties, it might be best to follow up on it.//

Pz-Zazz, concurrent with Pawn Star
//I have Holi on trace, triangulation, and re-encryption.//
//Now, who do we have that will kill other Autobots under orders? Ultra Magnus? My aim's not good enough.//
Emirate Xaaron said he learned better after the Micromasters. No sending Autobots to go kill other Autobots when the Decepticons capture them. But by the Celestial Spires, the Micromasters were vivisected and tortured, and they still didn't give away secret Autobot frequencies to the Decepticons!
Rodimus Prime probably needs to talk Emirate Xaaron down a bit.

//What?! Emirate, we can't kill him! This is our mistake! We underestimated how... well, naive he is. We can't kill him over what's our screw-up!//

//Even Long Haul knows better, and he’s a civilian from before the war and the rest of his team’s gone evil and keeps trying to seduce him away! //
//The longer we let that leak fester, the more he’s going to endanger the rest of us. Our frequency now, next, schematics for the Event Horizon…//
//And by the Spires, where are those frakking jets I ordered scrambled!?//
At this rate, he’ll take his jets sunny side up, if only he can get them.

//Long Haul is Cybertronian. This guy's some human's digital camera. It's like someone used the Matrix to give life to a piece of alien technology without bothering to provide groundwork programming or a briefing once he's alive. We've never stopped to think about how that might affect him. Back home, Transformers are 'born' fully programmed, but this guy was created by accident.//
//Sir, I say we pull him out, we take him back to the ship, we keep him there until he understands why he can't... can't do that.//
//Xaaron, Spy Shot is... he's an innocent like no one else in our crew, in our species is. Like none of us can be. We're already doomed to destroy that. We've got no choice. Do we really have to murder him for it, too?//

Damn and blast him, but Rodimus Prime has some good points, and Emirate Xaaron cannot deny them.
//Very well. Still, the Decepticons forcing us to drop everything and rush off to a rescue is nearly as bad as acceding to ransom demands. For all we know, we could be running headlong into a trap.//
//Note to self: have Kup toss together a hostage scenario for training.//
Finally, he admits, //…yes, you’re right. I’m sorry.//

//Well... it's not like any of us are used to thinking of members of our own species as 'innocent,'// Rodimus replies bitterly.
//You're right about having to rush to rescue, but hopefully a bit of training will make that less likely.//

//It does seem like Swindle was, improbably enough, telling the truth about not having informed Shockwave.//
//Though Shockwave does know now.//
Two can play at stupidly reckless!

//Hmm. While keeping him busier should hopefully distract Swindle from Spy Shot, doesn't that mean anyone we send in might have to deal with Mayhems on top of everything else?//

OOC: Concurrent with Rock and a Hard Place.
Rodimus's tone is sour. //Think my frequency's been compromised, Xaaron. I'm going to have to ask you to take over running radio intervention for Grimlock and the motorcycles. Tried to send Bambi to meet them at the safehouse, but somehow the mimic found out about it. We need to find out what happened to Bambi, and... unfortunately, unless we can send people to them in groups, Grimlock's crew may be on their own for the moment.// Rodimus's tone is frustrated and perhaps a little self-recriminating. //Trying to direct just a single medic to them is asking for a repeat.//

//Sorry about that, Prime. I'll do what I can. I guess we must be doing something right if we're making enemies like this already, eh?//

Rodimus allows a brief bark of a laugh. //Ah, is that what that means?//

//They say you can judge the quality of a man by the quality of his enemies, after all.//
Planet destroying gods? Rodimus Prime must be gold plated latinum.

//You're being crazy,// Rodimus answers cheerfully enough.
//What the heck are you being crazy about?//
