"Ok, get a squad out to the Deebee....but subtly....we made a big enough noise with the holo-show out there....last thing we need is a panic. According to ops, here's only four others to bring in, five depending on what the barfly's stance is in this. You five should be able to get the job done."

He watched as the five Autobots headed out to the Docking Bay, then turned to address the prisoner being secured.

"Look at you. You're an Autobot. Like some of the 'bots in my squad. Before the Great War that used to mean something. These days, the lines are so blurred a guy can't tell where he stands. Small wonder Captain Howitzer keeps us isolated from Cybertron and other splinter groups we've heard are out there. Some of my best officers are Decepticons and Predacons, so it goes both ways. I like the balance on this microcosm we've got here in Rugby for the most part, but then I see someone like you--!

When your kind first came to Earth, my ancestors didn't trust any of you. But the Autobots eventually earned our trust. Hell, I wish my own world was so easily divided the way yours was. But it isn't like that anymore, is it? You can't judge a 'bot by his faction any more than you can judge a man or a woman by the color of their skin.

So you save your 'info', pal. Don't think we're going to be easy on you because of that red insignia you're disgracing. You'll get a fair trial I'm sure, but as far as I'm concerned I've seen plenty of rotten apples to not trust what I see on the outside."
