We hop out of the ship and start hearing different types of blaring music from classical to dubstep.
"You might want to cover your ears." I say.
We cover our ears and we walk in. On the floor are two modified gadgebots on the floor fighting over the music speaker remote, again.
"STOP!" I have to yell over the speakers.
They come to attention and turn off the music.
"Sorry about that, they are always fighting. One likes dubstep and rock, like me, and the other like classical." I say.
"It's OK, I know how gadgebots get sometimes." says Ratchet.
I go up to the book shelf and push it aside revealing a door.
"This is my lab, I had to keep it hidden from prying eyes." I say.
There is a hand scanner, eye scanner, and even a password lock. I unlock everything and walk inside. I lock the door and the bookshelf automatically move back in place. Ratchet and Clank follow, they look around at the lab sets. There are mixing chemicals, scrap metal, and not to mention, weapons EVERYWHERE. Prototypes, broken rejects waiting to be turned into scrap, ones in progress, completed, ship parts and modifications, and of course, regular store bought ones ready to be modified.
"Whoa." is all Ratchet can say, while Clank is speechless.
"What can I say, I love guns." I say. "And please, don't touch anything."
I walk up to a clean counter and begin working on the RYNO. In a few short minutes, it is done.
"DONE!" I yell.
"Already?" asks Ratchet.
"Yup, here you can take the shooting coarse." I say, opening another door.
He walks in and I close the door and go to a control panel. I activate the coarse. The gun automatically destroys all the mini robots that I made using scrap. After all the mini bots are gone I let out a giant robot. Ratchet fires at the robot for a few seconds and it is destroyed.
"That was made using titanium scrap." I say.
"This thing is awesome!" he says.
"Now you see why I wanted this place so secure?" I ask.
"Definitely." he says.
I walk out to see Clank talking with the gadgebots.
"Hey Clank, If you want i could probably upgrade you." I say.
"Sure, but with what?" he asks.
"Anything." I reply.
"Could you upgrade my geolaser?" he asks.
"Sure." I say.
I pick him up and put him on the table. He takes out the laser and shows me. I examine it for a few minutes.
"This is some pretty advanced tech. But I can advance it even more!" I say.
After a few minutes of modifying, the laser is at its maximum upgrading.
"There you go!" I say, then my phone rings.
I pick up my phone and see the unknown number and name. Obviously Slim.
"One second, I need to take this." I say.
"I need some new um... advances in the ship market, you uh... got anything new?" he asks.
"No, but I can make something." I reply.
"Good, I will need it tonight. Be here by 12:00 in the morning." he says.
"Alright." I say then hang up.
"I need to make something now. Slim needs a new ship "improvement" to his market." I say.
"So that was Slim? Are you the one he gets all his mods from?" asks Ratchet.
"Yeah, I make it, he copies it, we split the bolts." I reply.
"Life of the black market huh?" asks Ratchet.
"Yep. Want to help?" I ask, "I have to be there by 12:00 A.M , you can come if you want, I can tell you know him."
"Yea, I always get mods from him." he replies.
We work on a new booster for hours and finally complete with Clank getting the chemical or tool we need.
"ITS DONE!" I yell. "And man, just a few hours before midnight."
"Cool, now you got any food, I'm starving." says Ratchet.
"Yea, follow me." I say, opening the triple locked door, leaving the new booster inside.
"What cha want?" I ask.
"Anything's good." he says.
"How bout steak?" I ask.
"Sure." he replies.
"COOKERBOTS!" I yell.
A tall chef bot comes in and begins making steak.
"You can't cook?" he asks.
"Nope, last time I tried, I blew up my house and had to move, again." I say.
"Jeez, how did that happen?" he asks.
"No idea. Just never ask me to cook for you." I say, laughing.
