I certainly haven't. I've been more worried about Megatron.

[Those sure were some words he never thought he'd type.]

How can I, when doing so led me to be stranded and left for dead? Led to the deaths of two people who didn't deserve it?

If you are really worried for him, then make sure that nothing happens to Tarn. Do you think that he can mentally handle hurting another person when his anger subsides? While it may be justified, he's still pretty new to his convictions. It's important that positives are reinforced, not failures.

And I don't know the answer to that, Magnus. It's different for every person. Though I would question why it is so hard. Yes, it led to two people dying but you've forgiven Megatron haven't you? What about Ravage? Brainstorm? Didn't they also kill people that didn't deserve it?

...Didn't you? Didn't I?

That was different, Bee. That was wartime. This is supposed to be peacetime.

Crime is still crime, regardless of it is done during peacetime or wartime.

C'mon. You know this. You KNOW there's really no difference.

There is a difference. The difference lies in 'intent.' We've all done terrible things. But I never killed anyone with malice on my spark. It was duty. Bee, a conscious decision was made to send us to our deaths, and now two lives are snuffed out. How does one reconcile that?

Malice or not, killing is still killing. The NAILs don't think we were justified. Only WE do. Regardless, I'd say for quite a few of us the intent was really all the same. An Autobot puts down a Decepticon with malice in his spark pretty often and vice versa. Just because YOU didn't doesn't make it any less true for someone else.

You're also forgetting that I worked with Prowl for a LONG time. He makes those kinds of choices before breakfast. If reconciling it were EASY, friend, then maybe there wouldn't have been a war to start with.

That's really for you to figure out, not me.

Prowl operates inside of a different cognitive spectrum that only makes sense to Prowl. It's a world where there is no such thing as 'remorse.' Nevertheless... No, nevermind. I don't have a reasonable counter argument to that. You're right.

I wouldn't say he's COMPLETELY without remorse.

And of course I'm right. Again.

It almost sounds like you're keeping score.

Would I do that? :)

Back on topic, did Riptide go to trial? You can't really keep acting like he's a guilty party if he hasn't, you know. Innocent until proven and whatnot.

Yes. No, he has not had a formal trial. Charges can't be brought against him because, for him, they have not happened yet. That's crossing a dangerous line. I've looked into matters of time dilation in regards to criminal activity. We'd have to prove that Riptide knew the outcome of the mutiny before it happened. We'd have to prove that he had intent, and that he had the means to ensure it would happen.

What about a court martial? For conspiracy.

Proving 'conspiracy' in a court of law is tricky. Riptide is also entitled to a defense counsel but there's just far too many from the Lost Light on board. I can't imagine anyone would be willing to defend him.
