You have one representing each of my kin? [he regards McCrane seriously in this. if this was a matter of oversight...]
Before Vector spoke to you, we discussed it between ourselves. What it would take for us to grant to you such responsibility, and short of severe crimes as murder, minimal influence by us. As a matter of courtesy we would like to know what punishment are intended, but...
[he shakes his head]
You ask for autonomy. We ask for supervision and the right of intercession. I do not think it a large thing to ask for.
[he pauses, here, fingers tapping on the railing of the window as he chooses his next words]
I do not...agree with Megatronus' decision. I understand it, but Overlord is dangerous. [he makes a slight face] I am forced to trust Megatronus can control him. If nothing else, Megatronus is even more so.
[dangerous, that is.]
But it is because I trust him in this matter, because he is as near to my equal as any can be, because I respect his judgement that we avoid war. I, too, have heard its stories. And while we do not dismiss them lightly, they are still...other stories.

We do not intend to make the mistakes in them.
