Clank stared at the unfinished silver ship in front of him.
Why won't it start?
The ship had taken nearly a year to build. And now it wasn't working? He was so sure it would!
The Lombax ran a hand through the light grey fur on the top of his head and sighed. He didn't want to resort to using the Gadgetron Help Desk option on his left glove; that was 'cheating' as far as he was concerned. But, then again…
Click.
'Final step; attach robotic ignition system,' The calm female voice told him.
A robotic ignition system?!
Clank sighed again, but was brought up short when he saw a bright orange flash dart from the sky and land a little further across Kyzil Plateau.
What was that?
Common sense told him to stay and try and find some alternate way of starting the ship, but his instinctive curiosity got the better of him and he went to check out the crash site.
After batting an irritating bitey-creature or twelve out of the way with his wrench, Clank came to a skidding halt. A sizeable crater had been blasted into the ground, and a mess of twisted metal was still burning a good few feet away.
Woah.
He blinked in a kind of horrified awe at the carnage displayed in front of him.
Whoever was in that ship is hosed.
