User blog:Spikewitwicky/August 16th, 2016 - Spike's Journal Entry



It's been a weird morning. Megan is away at pre-school. Her first day. It was kind of scary (for her, maybe, maybe not for her dad), but we've been going on 'mock runs' for the past few weeks to get her adjusted to the new routine. I'll pick her up in like 2 hours.

Other news, Dr. Arkeville is about to be out of our hands. Jumal has been in contact with me, all nice - but at the same time, fully demanding we have a set policy in writing, stating specifically this will NEVER happen again. That Autobots are not in the incarceration business.

Dude, don't worry about that. This entire incident was one of those 'well-intended, but never to be revisited again anomalies.' We agreed to house Dr. Arkeville in a trade of his knowledge, which helped us retake Autobot City. But of course, that agreement turned sour as he became more and more combative. Of course, there's one case that we'll have to address, and Jumal won't be too happy with. What if we happen to capture another bad guy, like someone in Cobra, or someone like Sean Berger (dead, I know, but say someone like him). They have to go to the authorities, but ... say we have a worldwide flood, or we're a bit busy with the Decepticons trying to take over the world, that we can't shuffle them off to the authorities just at that time?

I'm going to propose to the Autobots that any future detentions will be temoprary - that we will do EVERYTHING in our power to transfer said bad guy/gal to the proper authorities, but if we have to keep them - say for a day - they'll be treated as someone who was quarantine.

Personal note - I can't wait until next week. The next time I see Dr. Arkeville, I promised myself, it will be at his sentencing (unless I'm called to testify against him). I'm so ready for this chapter in my life to be over.
