In the year 5365, Ratchet was in Grim's Garage working a on a ship's thrusters. Grim said, "Ratchet, you have more customers waiting for you."

Ratchet said, "I'm almost done here, Grim. Just a little more."

Grim heard that and said, "OK. Just reminding you that you got a lot more to go."

Ratchet said, "Understood."

As soon as Grim left, Ratchet wiped his forehead with his arm and then a voice appeared in his head saying, "Take a short break."

Ratchet heard that and then pulled himself out from underneath the ship and looked around and saw that no one was there and Clank asked, "Is something the matter Ratchet?"

Ratchet answered, "No, I thought I heard something."

Clank said, "No one said anything."

Ratchet said, "It seems to be the case."

He went back under the ship to finish it up and then the voice appeared again and said, "Take a little break and go on an adventure. Go somewhere on Veldin that you haven't been yet."

Ratchet heard that and then said to himself, "Now I'm definitely losing my mind. Someone is speaking to me."

2 minutes later, he finished the thrusters on the ship and then rolled out from underneath the ship and said, "Finished."

Clank heard that and then said, "Let's continue to work."

Ratchet said, "Yep."

A voice appeared and said, "Take a break and go on an adventure. You need it. Veldin is a bigger place than you think."

Ratchet heard that and then was about to start walking to the next ship to work on it and then Grim looked at him and asked, "Are you alright?"

Ratchet answered, "I don't know. I'm burning up."

Grim heard that and put his hand on his forehead and his head was hot and said, "My god. Take a break, Ratchet. You aren't feeling too well."

Ratchet said, "OK."

He went to his room and laid down on his bed and the voice appeared again saying, "Don't fall asleep. Head to a place that you haven't discovered yet on Veldin."

Ratchet heard that and said, "I am not hearing things, am I now?"

The voice said, "Go on an adventure. Don't let anyone know about it."

Ratchet heard that and started walking away. So he walked passed all of Veldin's known cities that he's been to, and found a place that he hasn't seen before and said, "This was never here before."

He went to walk toward the unknown section of Veldin and found a sign saying "Welcome to Omor City." He walked around and a Veldarian appeared and said, "Welcome to Omor City. You must be new by the way you are looking around."

Ratchet said, "I'm actually amazed to see something that was never here before on Veldin."

The Veldarian smiled and said, "We've always been here. Protected by an object of unknown origin. Also, I'm Karl Vendel, a Veldarian. You are."

Ratchet said, "I'm Ratchet, a Lombax and a Galactic Ranger."

Karl said, "A Galactic Ranger, huh. That's new here. And Lombaxes have gone extinct a long time ago. So it really is hard to find one nowadays. Come on, you are probably the one hearing the voices that we've been hearing as well. Telling us to go on an adventure."

Ratchet asked, "Do you know who is sending the voice?"

Karl answered, "Nah, I guess that you are here to figure that out."

Ratchet said, "Yes, but the voices stopped as soon as I got here. To this current location."

Karl heard that and said, "You are right. We thought that we were losing our minds."

Ratchet said, "I thought the same thing when I first heard the voice when I was working on a thruster on a ship. Then I got sick out of nowhere."

Karl heard that and said, "Whoever the voice is probably made you sick. And made you come here for a reason. And we were capable of hearing the voice because of your sickness, somehow."

Ratchet said, "You lost me there."

Karl said, "Alright, listen carefully. I'm only going to say this once. You had a high fever of 110 degrees fahrenheit. The sicker a Lombax gets, the more out of control and crazy one gets. That fever created a telepathic portal here allowing us to hear what you were hearing. Meaning that someone here needs you or wants you to be here."

Ratchet said, "If that is the case, then I should find this person and fast."

Karl said, "Yes you should."

Ratchet started to walk around looking amazed at the furry beings known as Vendarians. The Mayor of Omor City, Mareta Omor saw Ratchet walking around and then appeared and said, "You are a Lombax, correct?"

Ratchet heard that and answered, "Yes I am. And you are?"

Mareta said, "I'm Mareta Omor, the Mayor of Omor City. You've come a long way from where you currently are now. You haven't been here long, so I'll give you a little tour."

Ratchet said, "Uh, but I..."

Mareta said, "Don't worry about a thing. It'll only take a little while."

Ratchet heard that and said, "OK, I guess that I can't talk you out of showing me around."

Mareta said, "Of course not. This is an opportunity that we don't get often. To meet a Lombax is rare in this era. That is because a man known as Emperor Percival Tachyon attacked the Lombaxes from the inside."

Ratchet heard that and asked, "How do you know about that?"

Mareta answered, "I know my history."

Ratchet sighed and then Mareta started showing him around and said, "This is Omor Bank of Veldin. It's the most known bank on Veldin. We don't know much about Veldin except that this planet used to be full of Veldarians, but now we don't know where any of them are. That is because we never left this one city that has been kept off the grid for thousands of years."

Ratchet heard that and said, "So cool. You guys are amazing."

Mareta said, "Thank you. My ancestors rebuilt this entire city after one attack that destroyed more than half of the city. The city was attacked by an immortal tyrant known as Emperor Vaden Dionne. Emperor of Citadel Paradise. It's a well known kingdom in Pexrind. They are also quite dangerous."

Ratchet said, "So this Emperor Vader character, is he still, like, alive?"

Mareta answered, "Yes and is probably on Pexrind trying to locate us. That'll be the day the Veldarians on Veldin go extinct."

Ratchet said, "I won't let that happen."

Mareta said, "Thanks for the thought, but you are no match for Vaden."

Ratchet said, "I'm a Galactic Ranger, I can handle it."

Mareta said, "Vaden is way stronger than the Galactic Rangers combined. They already tried to beat him. And failed."

Ratchet said, "He's that strong?"

Mareta answered, "Yes he is."

Mareta appeared in front of the desert and said, "This is the Cursed Desert, no one comes here. Not even me. A lot of people have disappeared in this place. And that's what makes everyone stay away from it. And we have no idea what protects this place to this date."

They appeared in her office and Mareta asked, "So, did you like what you saw in Omor City?"

Ratchet answered, "Yes. I was amazed on how much work you guys have done to the place."

She said, "Thank you. Well, enjoy your visit here in Omor City, Lombax. Have fun now."

Ratchet said, "Thank you."

Ratchet walked out of there and smiled and said to himself, "I'm going to head to the Cursed Desert. That should bring me some adventure."

Ratchet walked to the Cursed Desert and appeared in the middle of it and said, "This place is amazing. But I wonder why people have been disappearing."

He continued to walk around and then found something in the ground and a voice said, "Touch the object."

Ratchet said, "That's not a normal object. That's the very first prototype Time Module from 11000 years ago in the year 5635 BB. Of course I'd touch it."

He went to touch it and then a flash of light appeared and Ratchet covered his eyes and asked, "What is with the light?"

An explosion of light appeared and Ratchet disappeared and appeared somewhere with smoke coming out of his body. Ratchet uncovered his eyes and said, "Oh my god. Where am I?"
