Prologue
A Markazian woman appeared in the doorway of the Orvus Chamber in the Great Clock, where a small robot was watching a collection of screens carefully. "Clank?" she asked. The small robot turned and stared at her sadly with his neon green eyes. "Zephyr just shut down, and Quark…" She closed her eyes, refusing to finish the sentence. She had no need to. She looked back at the robot. "What should we do?"
"Talwyn," Clank said after a short pause. "Unless Ratchet found Sasha…" He stopped, unsure what to say. "I do not know what to do, and our options are very limited."
Both grew silent, lost in their own thoughts. Talwyn was the first to speak again. "What can we do?"
"I am able to perform a scan of the Far Reaches, but that would take time. Time we do not have."
"What of our other option?"
"The alternative is to send out a probe," Clank replied. "This probe will seek out living organisms and AI robots. Once found, a message will tell them to come to the Clock. I believe it is the safest place."
Talwyn blinked. "So they'll end up here."
"Precisely," Clank said.
"What would they do afterwards?"
Clank looked back at the screens. "I have a theory I have been working on. Once it is finished…well, I just hope it works." After this was said, another long silence followed.
"This is the only reasonable course of action, isn't it?" Talwyn inquired.
"It seems to be that way, Miss Apogee."
Talwyn sighed as Clank activated the probes. "Let's just hope this works."
Short? Yes. Confusing? Yes? Excellent. This is just to get us all started. Chapter one will involve confusion, sadness, and my favorite fluffy Lombax!
Ok, that sounded a tad weird…
(Ya think?)
Shut up, Daniel!
(Yeesh. Bossy much? Anyway, review please! We look forward to hearing opinions. More Reviews = Faster Updates. Laters!)
Oh, also, I do not own Ratchet & Clank or any other media in this fanfiction. (Is it illegal not to say this?)
