[Have a robotic Taiitsu. He's black and white, quite shiny, and could not possibly be happier.]

What a fascinating place this is! I didn't think I was going to like it here...not with everything that happened after I arrived. It was pretty scary...I didn't leave my apartment at all for awhile. But this?

[Holds his recently acquired set of glossy white robo-hands up to the camera by way of a demonstration.]

This is spectacular!

I've been running some tests on my systems [Barely surpressed squee at the notion of himself having systems] for the past few days, and let me tell you, they are top-notch! With a little more time, I bet I could create some really excellent modifications. But it seems like most people think this is a temporary state? That we'll turn back eventually?

[Little sigh] Too bad.

Anyway, I've been so distracted with this whole being a robot thing that I completely forgot to post the results of my other project! Since I've been spending so much time in the MAC, when it was too dangerous to go outside, I've had time to take a good long look at that surveillance system everyone's been complaining about. And I asked myself, who in the world would want to go through so much trouble to keep an eye on us? Where is this footage being sent to, anyway? So I rigged something up to track the signal, and guess what I found out?

Well? Can you guess?

[Brief pause]

Ah, I've kept you in suspense long enough. The answer to the question of who's watching the MAC is this: no one is! The cameras are still transmitting, but there's no active receiver. So the transmissions are just sort of floating around the airwaves without ever being picked up and viewed. Unless it's cutting in on people's satellite television in the building next door or something, but that's a whole different problem.

Now I know quite a few people have had concerns about living in the MAC because of this issue, so let me assure you that these cameras are completely harmless. Nonetheless, I'll be happy to locate and remove them for anyone who asks me to.

[Smiles brightly for the camera]

Any questions?

[The comm clicks on, but he doesn't say anything at first. When he does speak, he's quiet and clearly not talking directly into the comm. It's quite possible that he doesn't realize it's already on.]

...He's not coming back.

[He sighs. Then there's a moment of rustling as he picks up the comm before he starts the intentional part of the recording in his usual abrasive tone.]

All right, listen up. As you all know, our position in the City is tenuous, at best. Outside of the obvious dangers involved in our line of work, there is always the possibility of being ported out. Recently, I found myself briefly in the position of being the only member of the police force's leadership able to fulfill his duties, and that is absolutely unacceptable. This department obviously needs a stronger chain of command. So I've taken it upon myself to create one.

Since my presence is vital to the continued functioning of the prison, I will not be delegating my responsibilities there. I will be dividing the functions previously carried out by Optimus Prime. Maza, you'll be backing me up as Assistant Commissioner. McClane, I'm keeping you on as Chief.

Cheney, I'm promoting you to Captain. In the event that Maza, McClane, or myself gets ported out or otherwise incapacitated, it will be your responsibility to step in.

Is everyone clear on this?

Good. Prime out.

[Comm clicks off.]

Well, that was... I guess they need me here more, now.

I'm back, everybody. Anybody care to share how long I've been gone? What'd I miss?

Many things, still have to learn.

Wikipedia not enough.

Where, to find more?

I've been thinking about the rash of people becoming robots.

From what I've read and seen, it seems that their experiences as robots contradict my own. For example, it seems they are unable to sleep, and sleep, for me, is necassary.

My conclusion is that, since robotics appear to function differently in different universes, if we could find out which universe these robots match up to, we'd be closer to figuring out who caused the change.

What does everyone think of this? And please, feel free to volunteer any information pertaining to this.

[This time the feed shows Wally lying on a couch in Raven's home, looking all pale and sickly. He's propped the communicator on a table nearby. There's also a small Australian water dragon dozing on his chest.]

I'm sorry, Raven. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to hog your couch for a while, I really don't feel so good.

But for everyone else there, have fun snowboarding. [He's so sad he can't join, baww.]
