text, after meeting Prowl

[legalcy]

Longarm Prime:

Having spoken to Prowl, he and I are in agreement that the nudge gun should be destroyed as soon as possible. Please prepare a meeting with all three of us to smelt it down and ensure it will not be used again.

[ Already?! He'd barely been able to study it at all with the constant interruptions following the investigation. He had expected to have more time than this. ]

Ultra Magnus:

I will speak with Captain Sparkarrow and secure the necessary equipment. Once I have done so I will notify you immediately.

I do have several questions about this Prowl. I assume he is from your own universe? If so I would appreciate a description of his character. I get the feeling he is going to be rather different from the one I am familiar with, considering he would not be at all involved in these kinds of matters.

[Oh Primus, this will be difficult.]

Longarm Prime:

Unfortunately, I do not have many positive things to say about him. Prowl has burned many metaphorical bridges with Autobots, includes supposed friends and former partners. He has used others as pawns in his plans and ignores what befalls them. He assumes that his is always right, and that all conflict would be over if he were in total control of every plan.

However, he has mentioned that recent events has forced him to reconsider his course of action, and he is willing to act in an supporting role in the security team. I would trust his knowledge of the rulebook and assessment of time-sensitive and dangerous situations. I would trust him as a consultant, but not as a friend.

Ultra Magnus:

I can't say that aligns at all with the Prowl I'm familiar with, so I appreciate the intel. Between your description and your original message, I take it he is familiar with the nudge gun or similar weaponry? "Thought warfare" I believe is how you described it previously.

I trust your judgement, sir, but welcome any assistance he can offer. Goodness knows it looks like we will need it.

Longarm Prime:

It is my suspicion that he is well aware of said weapon. The fact that thought warfare is banned won't stop him from bending the rules to better fit his goals. It is for this reason that we should be careful in how much power we give him as a Security Advisor.

[ Not the answer he was fishing for, but maybe he could get more information out of Getaway if he was careful. ]

Ultra Magnus:

Understood. I will take that into consideration moving forward.

I'll call you once I have gathered the necessary equipment. It shouldn't be long.
