The day after the age crisis, the judicial center had a new agenda.
[The Chief Justice undergoes a routine medical check-up.]
[The Chief Justice's mandatory rest period.]
These projects were jointly launched by BICk0 and Ambulance, and the vector has resisted them multiple times, but to no avail.
She discovered that BICk0 had evolved to a terrifying degree.
As long as it's "for the Chief Justice's health," the secretary can arrange a whole host of things without batting an eye, enough to make the Chief Justice himself want to jump out of the window of the judicial center and experience bungee jumping.
She's even starting to miss the secretary who wasn't so good at uniting external forces back then.

97's resignation application was not the only one.
Following her, several applications from the Decepticons' grassroots level were submitted to the judicial central government.
The number of copies was small, and each one was written with care.
Organic applied for temporary asylum; Organic only wants to open a small shop in Crystal City or the Neutral Zone.
Some wanted to switch to being repairmen; others wrote in the notes that they hoped to participate in the Felix Knights candidate test.
There are also several applications for clerical positions, with applicants willing to handle file organization and logistics.
The vectors are processed one by one.
After the civil war ended, factions were no longer the only thing that allowed them to survive, and there was always a chance to escape being forcibly pushed onto the battlefield.
BICk0 has compiled the screening results in case there are more applicants in the future, indicating that the asylum process, identity verification, and occupational triage criteria need to be expanded.
And the esteemed little K0 secretary said calmly:
"I had prepared a budget long ago. I anticipated this after submitting my resignation application in 1997."
Vector Silence: Did she really not seek further training in sound waves?
Fortunately, she only likes sweet wine and doesn't like using tentacles and ubiquitous surveillance to listen to the entire universe.
-
In the afternoon, the Knights of Justice were summoned to the training hall of the judicial center.
BICk0 was also called over.
She had assumed it was a briefing on the new system and brought budget comparisons and emergency implementation templates.
After the projection is turned on, the first line is:
[Rewards for wartime judicial cooperation will be issued retroactively.]
second line:
[Aquitron and Post-War Recovery Special Prize.]
Third line: [Fresh time allowance compensation.]
Fourth line: [New paint and armor maintenance quotas.]
The Knights of Justice initially looked serious, but when they saw the fourth line, several of them visibly stumbled.
The vector indicates a serious expression.
"Money is the most basic form of respect."
"Holidays are the second guarantee."
"A beautiful new paint job is a reward that no one can pretend not to appreciate."
Someone in the training hall couldn't help but chuckle, and then the laughter grew louder.
The actual benefits given by the vector include bonuses, holidays, maintenance of outer armor, formal employment status, injury and death compensation, and psychological recovery.
There is also a more refined and organized training system for the Knights of Justice.
"From today onwards, the Justice Knights officially become the armed force of the judicial center."
The training hall gradually quieted down.
"The Knights of Law have their own disciplinary standards, cycles, promotion paths, mission boundaries, and rest system."
"The judicial system doesn't need a bunch of cannon fodder who just obey orders and charge forward. Your fight is to protect the covenant, and you should also know that the covenant protects citizens."
She released the final document.
"The reward arrived today, and the holiday will be arranged in batches. You can choose the color of the new spray paint yourself."
This time the laughter was even louder.
BICk0 stood to the side, looking at the payment notification on the data panel—it was a somewhat frightening amount.
Not to mention her salary was increased again.
Her salary was already quite high, and this incident made her briefly suspect that the judicial system had been compromised by a fraudster.
"Was my prize money amount recorded incorrectly?"
"No. I don't want you to resign; if I do, I'll lie down in front of the judicial office and act like a liar."
BICk0 suddenly looked up: "I will absolutely not resign."
"That's why I'm offering you a high salary."
The BICk0's door flaps sway gently, despite the secretary's efforts to maintain professionalism.
"You've got an extra half-week of vacation," Yoyo added, having seen the vector.
BICk0's car door flaps swayed again, and finally, unable to resist, he smiled and went online to buy his newly acquired Shanks.

There are also new developments on the Giant Frenzied side.
Their basic education curriculum finally began to proceed steadily.
The video content includes a brief history of Cybertron, its basic laws, the fact that the Transportation Tower is not a teething toy, and the difference between waste zones and residential areas.
Not all monstrous creatures are appealing to watch.
Some people would lie down and fall asleep while looking at the rules; others had no interest in the rules, but reacted noticeably only to the words "areas where demolition is permitted".
Another animal, upon seeing the schematic diagram of the traffic tower structure, opened its mouth and made a biting motion, only to be silently tapped on the head by the supervisor next to it.
But the biggest one looked at it very carefully.
His massive body mostly lay quietly at the edge of the platform, his optical lens falling on the projection, trying to discern the images that were still somewhat unfamiliar to him.
When the Cybertronian history reached the ancient era, he looked up.
He didn't understand everything, but he was very interested.
Shockwave is responsible for recording and caring for them, although in a way that is still very shockwave-like, making it difficult for bystanders to judge whether it really counts as "care".
After confirming the vectors several times, and only after the giant monsters were no longer used as experimental subjects, was he temporarily released.
The giant monstrous fossils collected by Shockwave were also included in the preservation and historical archive process because cloning is prohibited.
The shockwave was executed rather reluctantly.
One day, the largest monstrous creature stopped outside the transfer platform, looked down at the sealed bone fragments, and remained motionless for a long time.
He slowly approached, emitting low, muffled breaths as he looked at these things that he didn't yet understand, yet which naturally moved him.
Something seemed to flash quickly in the optical lens.

On a very ordinary afternoon, Rumble, Confusion, and Mechanical Dog returned.
At that time, the vector was processing the Decepticon grassroots detachment application.
BICk0 casually gave her a glass of energy drink, noting that the ambulance driver had asked her not to work on an empty stomach.
The vector felt that the ambulance was a persistent ghost.
There was a very soft noise at the door, and then a rumble came as half a head popped in, and a confused figure squeezed in from beside him.
The robotic dog quietly walked past them into the office, its paws treading softly.
Yin Xiang's expression relaxed: "You're back?"
With a rumble and a confused nod, the mechanical dog walked to her feet and lay down.
"Are you done talking?" Yin Xiang asked.
It started moving toward her with a rumble and climbed onto the table.
Confused, he said, "I talked a lot with Soundwave."
The mechanical dog let out a soft whimper.
They haven't been following the index vector consistently during this period.
She told them to go find the sound waves.
The fact that Soundwave removed the emotion module had a much deeper impact on the Miniature Titans than many people thought.
For them, a center that once responded to them has suddenly become an untouchable void, and the sorrow is beyond words.
Soundwave is terrible at explaining, but this time it finally didn't make the decision for them by remaining silent.
They talked for a long time about the past, leaving, emotional modules, and that painful silence.
It didn't get completely better all at once, but at least I can talk now.
"and then?"
"We still want to come back to you," said Boom Boom seriously.
Without asking any further questions, she reached out and rubbed her rumbling head, then touched her confused face.
"Then come back."
The rumbling optical mirror gleamed, and the bewildered woman nestled into her arms.
The mechanical dog's head rested at her feet, squinting through its optical glasses.
Then, the vector editor casually moved some files aside so that the little guys would all have a place to stay.
The office atmosphere was unusually relaxed and cozy, and even the vector control system moved a little slower.
After a while, the mechanical dog suddenly looked up: "The circular sawbird wants to come too."
The finger pointing at the vector stopped.
Confused, she whispered, "He's back."
Rumble added, "He had been hiding."
The round-sawbirds left the sound waves even earlier than they did.
He was always sharp, vigilant, fast, and adept at concealment. That's how he survived by constantly hiding and running away.
After the Civil War ended, he emerged to see the judicial center and the new landscape.
So he came too.
Yin Vector looked up at the window, where a flying miniature King Kong had landed at some point.
The wings are mainly black, gray and yellow, with lines like a jet engine, and a sharp outline like a raptor.
He remained silent, only staring at her through his optical glasses, looking like a tough nut to crack.
The office was silent for a few seconds, then Yin Vector pondered again - why is the judicial center now starting to collect miniature King Kongs again? Is it because the giant and ferocious ones aren't enough?
"He's afraid you won't want him," said the rumbling voice.
The round-saw bird immediately turned its head and glared at him.
Confused then added in a low voice, "But he's too embarrassed to say it himself."
The round-saw bird turned to look at Confusion, who grinned and sneered.
The robotic dog completed the final triple kill under the table: "So we say..."
The round-sawbird looked like it wanted to fly away, but its claws lingered hesitantly on the windowsill.
The vector waved to him.
He first assessed her intentions before gracefully flying over from the window ledge with his wings spread.
When it landed on the vector's shoulder, the claws retracted carefully, without causing any scratches.
"You want to come too?" Yin Xiang turned his head to look at him.
The circular sawbird took a long time to nod.
"Alright," Vector said, "but you have to follow the rules. You can't fly around in the judicial center, you can't eavesdrop on confidential meetings, and you can't peck at security cameras."
Sawbird: "...Okay."
The circular sawbird seemed surprised that the vector pointer had made so many clear and numerous demands right from the start, but it nodded nonetheless.
After processing the file again, I casually said:
"If you behave yourself and follow the rules here, you won't need to accept orders from any other faction in the future. As for whether to return to Soundwave, or how to communicate, that's your own business."
The Sawbird glared at the three Miniature Titans who were listening with their audio receivers raised, and moved its vector vector closer:
"I won't go back yet."
She said, "Okay, then let's all stay here for now."
