IC: Elita ::Cursed to herself she knew she would have to put her foot in her mouth for saying that:: "I would have to agree there also Sunstorm I had a feeling would put my foot in my mouth for saying that. Indeed we don't need another Great War." Elita said as she slightly lowered her head.
IC: Stingray ::for the most part was quite as she listened to the coverstation. She had seen the great war and she cared not to be in another one. She also knew that she wasn't part of the council either she had something to say but she kept quite it wasn't her place to say anything::

"War of the Spark was bad enough. I can't imagin what it was like in the Great War." Cheets said.
"Elita, I'm more inclined to agree with you. Each sector has a right to defend it's self and a secuirity force won't cut it. Besides, they won't take the order to stand down and disarm very well." Discord said before turning to the other fembot. "Stingray, you have anythoughts?"

IC: Stignray ::thought for a few moments before she spoke, " I was thining along the lines of each state have a small elite group of soliders or warriors for a line of defense, instead of a small army that might contain thousands of Soliders. the small elite group would consit of 500 to maybe a 1,000 soldiers or warriors this would cover air, land sea and if need to be space. This is more or less my own thoughts. This was done on my home world before it was destoryed and the system worked out very well," Stingray said quitely
IC: Elita ::Was kind of impressed with Stingray's thoughts, "nice idea Stingray, you think that this could work for each state? If so this would save time rising armies for each state," Elita said.
IC: Stingray: "I don't know if it would work out to be honest with you Elita never tried this on a scale like this. It would take several months to train soliders for military work. Like Discord said the seperate states won't tkae the order to stand down and disarm very well," Stingray said quietly again.

Sunstorm thinks about this lightly, bringing his hands together and resting his chin on them. "I think.... we should have these elite groups train together. I've heard stories of the terran World War II that on one of their holidays, some soldiers ended up celebrating it together due to the terrain and the roughness of the war. As a result of this, some of the soldiers had to be relocated because they refused to take arms against those that they found were just like them... I guess my point is in that case, it might help prevent another great war by familiarizing the troops with each other. Much like our society today exists with much less prejudice then the first reign of the maximals was caused by uniting against the threat of Megatron the second."

Tera took an opportunity to speak up. "If I may... we Predacons, bred from the Decepticons, have the mech fluid of warriors running through our systems. Many of us are already trained in combat. The only thing missing is a structure, an order to which we can organize ourselves... I know that if Cybertron were to form defense forces, we Predacons would gladly serve for the opportunity to once again take pride in our military heritage.
We know that some are worried that it may lead to another Great War... but Sunstorm is right. We Predacons have known in the past the bitterness that comes with being in the aftermath of a war where your side lost. If the Maximals can move beyond prejudice against us for our heritage, we can also move beyond our resentment against them. In the end, we are all Cybertronians."

"So, in other words, you guys are going to wise up and make peace finally?" Rock said finally, listening in on this while playing with Rush.
"Maybe you guys might wanta take a page from my Cousin's playbook then."

"I fought along side Predacon warriors, and grew to respect them." Cheets said softly. "Sunstorm, you idea is a good one. We'll leave the actual set up for that in the hands of the sector goverments."
"Which we still need to set up." Discord said. "I believe we ahve atleast one representitive for each sector here, correct? How about that bot be apointed as the head of the emergency goverment and given the power to choose their council."

Dirge nods in response to the suggestions. Though there's a sudden pause as if he remembers something... "Uh... my fellow council members, there is something you should know... as a result of the beast decepticon's limited council power and forces, combined with the biological monstrosities attacking our citizens... I was kind of forced... into giving Starscream a seat. His Combaticons and their offspring have been helping our forces finally repel the creatures, but I figured it was better to hear it now then later... part of the agreement was that he would be bolstering our military forces at the time."
Sunstorm bristled lightly when he learned of this information, not realizing the implications of it earlier. His brother has always had a plan or two in store... and could not be easily trusted. "I see... thank you dirge." He glances towards discord and nods lightly in agreement to her statement. "Agreed.... which leaves Jazz in charge of the Autobot council, Tera in charge of the Predacon council, yourself in charge of the Maximal council... and Dirge in charge of the Decepticon council, correct Cheetara?"

Huffer nodded agreeing what Dirge has said but when he said he was forced to give Starscream a seat, he was livid. "YOU DID WHAT?! Out of all the people you could have chose, you chose that guy?! Galvatron would have made a better council member than him! You know what he's capable of?"

"Sounds about right." Cheets growled, ears back.
A loud thunk sounded as Discord banged her head into the table before raiseing it, her eyes a glowing red. "Dirge did you learn nothing about Starscream back in the day?" she said, her voice becomeing deeper echoing almost. "You dangle the bait, get him to do what you wish, then blast him back into his place or dispose of him for good. Or skip the incentive compleatly and kick his skid plate until he does his duty. He may have been a scientist, but he is a slagging idiot when it comes to leadership."
She stood slowly leaning on the table, her cannons out and on her forearms. "He needs a firm hand. While I don't doubt your leadership Dirge, you are not the bot to do that. Eaither give me a seat, or give me advisor status and I will keep him in line."

Dirge blinks for a few moments, looking towards Discord carefully. There's something familiar about this person, it can't be... can it? "... yes, it would be best to give you a seat on the decepticon council ma'am. I tried to think of something better, but it was a matter of waiting and losing more citizens... or submitting something to him and getting the help we needed." He responds, with a tone to his voice and a look on his face as if he's guessing her origins.

Discord gave a slow nod before sinking back into her seat. Ravage caught a small head nod and backed away from the table.
"If you will excuse me, I need to sound the regroup alert and gather what officers we still have." the cat mech rumbled.

IC: Stingray ::Winced when she heard Startscream was part of the council that Dirge was part of. Shaking her head she knew all to well what Starscream might do if he was given the chance::
IC: Elita ::Just shook her head she knew too well what this might lead too and it just sends chills down her back::
Both Grapple and Cliffjumper ::Cringed at the name of Starscream and they huddled closer to Stingray::
IC: Jazz ::Nodded to Cheetara for being head council for the autobots he knew what Starscream was capable of doing and hoping to primus that they could keep Starscream in line::

Sunstorm nods slowly in response, considering the options. "Understandable Dirge... considering the circumstances. Screamer has been gathering his own resources over the past few years, at the least we found out about this before he could do anything of any real damage at this point." He pauses for a moment before looking to Cheetara. "So Cheetara... is there anyone amongst our midst you think would be good for the maximal council?"

Cheets looked over the gathering slowly. She hoped she'd feel a tug of guidance from the Oracel. "At the moment Storm, I don't. But I will make my selection shortly after I have some time to think." she finaly said.
