Video Post [locked from known villains]
[[pretend this happened earlier in the day, I fail at getting online earlier. /pacific time]]
[Optimus is standing in a somewhat dingy office, with a rather nice police logo on the wall behind him. He's actually wearing a plain but well-made suit, as well - navy suit, white shirt, red tie. Don't ask where he found the Autobot sigil tie pin. He adjusts his tie awkwardly, shuffles a bit, then smiles and looks into the camera]
uh...
Greetings, people of the City! My name is Optimus Prime.
[he shifts, and folds his hands behind his back, squaring his shoulders]
A couple of decacy-- er, excuse me, weeks ago, my team and I noticed that the lack of a police force in this city was becoming a problem. True, there are plenty of heroes that have been brought here by the Porter, but between attacks from an airship, defending the Porter, and protecting the civilians from anyone else that would try to harm them, how could you be expected to actually do the work the police does?
[clears throat, adjusts tie]
Catching and incarcerating criminals, enforcing traffic law and other misdemeanors, those kinds of things. You can't be everywhere. Additionally, sometimes it's good to have a law enforcement team that acts on the behalf of the state, not on the behalf of individual interests. We - and several others - felt that it was important to reinstate the actual police force.
[looks into the camera, and smiles, actually managing to stop fidgeting]
So, I'm happy to inform you that, thanks to the hard work of others, and to City Hall, the City once again has a police force. Obviously, we'll need more officers - anyone interested in helping and protecting the civilians here, please apply. I hope that ordinary citizens will apply as well, so if you DO have secret identities, you should probably try to use them. I ask that should you choose to come in, you ask for Oliver Price.
Thank you all for all the hard work you've already done, and the measures you've taken towards saving lives. As Police Chief pro tempore, I will do my best to work with you, and ensure that this city stays safe from harm. After all, we're all in this together.
