There are entirely too many cuts in this post.
((Affected Sentinel is affected. Also forward-dated to tomorrow morning.))

[Video clicks on to show Sentinel at his desk, tie loosened, "World's Greatest Boss" coffee mug in hand. He's smiling and looking entirely too perky for this time of day.]
Good morning, team. I just wanted to take a few minutes to let all of you know how much I appreciate you and the work you're doing.
[And the scary part of all this? He is being ABSOLUTELY SINCERE.]
I know that protecting this city isn't exactly the easiest job. We're understaffed, underfunded, up against some of the worst lunatics in the known multiverse, and trying to serve a public that doesn't think we're doing anything right. But I know that's not the truth. You are doing things right, all of you. No matter what new obstacle gets thrown in your way, you keep on fighting. And that's what makes it an honor to serve with you. Keep up the good work.
[Salutes the camera, then takes a sip from his mug.]
Mm. Who made the coffee today? This is fantastic.

I know you three especially have been under a lot of stress lately. I wouldn't be able to keep things running around here without you, and I want to know what I can do to make your lives easier. If you have any suggestions, just stop by my office. The door's always open.
For the time being, though, let's see if we can get some conflict resolution going here, okay? You guys are the most important part of this team, and I can't have you fighting with each other. Why don't we get together for lunch, talk this out, and do a little team-building? My treat.

Bumblebee and Metabee...you guys have learned your lesson, right? You're off punishment detail, effective immediately.
[Private to Blurr:]
Can we talk?
