6 days later, at Veldin. Ratchet was still on break, eventhough he's working with grimroth on repairing ships. Right now, he's working on Adrien's ship which went through a Large Neferious Fleet to test out the weapon capabilities. Eventhough he did not intend to go against a large fleet, the test was successful anyways. His ship still looked like the original one he had except the warp ring was much smaller, The ship had a black paintjob for camo purposes, and it used an AC-130 weapon/ammo arrangement which would create a space debris sloud which would represent an image of an angel. This scared away the rest of the Nefarion faction forces.
"So how was the trip through the asteroid field" Grimroth mocked eventhough Adrien didn't take it as mockery.
"Good, I got it on video." Adrien replied as he pulled up the video. Grimroth was surprised about this one.
"Hey Ratchet, seems like your kind of guy here! He's got a really crazy modification here!" Grimroth commented.
"Really? I'm actually curious now, is it a warp shield or an EMP?" Ratchet said as he was about to press that button.
"Wait, don't you press that bu-" Too late, he pressed the button and the entire shop blew up. Adrien facepalmed.
"Woops" Ratchet said. "Hey, at least the ship is still intact, right?"
The newly made Portuguest flag that had the Tavirez coat of arms was missing, it probably got destroyed in the explosion.
"Yeah, remind me to get this thing repaired in Kerwan next time." Adrien said. "It's no problem I do need to take off weight so..."
Adrien got two boxes of bolts out of his ship to pay for the damages of the repair shop.
"Here's the deal, since I'm using my bolts, I'm going to need you to take those data importers and go to Earth's orbit, from there I need you to copy all the data from the satalites which I'll provide a list off when you get to your ship. Just one thing, avoid the International Space Station if you don't see anyone of them or if they are dead. If you see them and if they are alive, I need you to pick them up and bring them to my current place here. Tell them that a friend wanted to meet with them. Don't try to help people down at Earth right noiw because the planet is still going to have radiation all over the place. I can't provide you with my AR-15 as a reward, because I trust you less than that racoon that stole my warp drive, which you already know him, we were at eachother's throats for a while. I do have a compromise though. Now, this stuff is more valuable than the shop, so if you do this, I will be considerate and tell you how I got this many bolts, deal?" Adrien said.
"That's a deal!" Ratchet said.
"Hey, one last thing,if you are able to get down to Earth without damaging the ship, and if the ship is waterproof, as an added bonus, if you manage to find and rescue some guys who are living in submarines, you will gain a little trust back from me. Just, when you do so, contact them and tell them who you are. Just because I want them to be helped doesn't mean I don't need anyone hurt in the process. They will be armed and they will get very anxious really fast if they see a ship like yours near them. Clank, you know what happens if Earth Humans get anxious in such an enviroment."
"They get really violent, really fast." Clank answered.
Ratchet and Clank traveled to Solar System in search of those satalites. First, they stopped by Mars to see the red planet, surprisingly enough, there is already spots of green and blue. Human civilization is terraforming Mars.
"Wow, these humans were pretty advanced from what I seen." Ratchet said. "I have a feeling something was holding them back."
"Well, the Earth's atmosphere is pretty dense, Which I guess explains why Adrien has trouble breathing when he's asleep. He's used to breathing much more in." Clank said.
"We are gonna ask him about that, He's been in a nuclear explosion before. It could be that he has lung damage." Ratchet commented.
Taiwyn contacted Ratchet with some very bad news.
"Ratchet, you need to get whatever medical data you can find, and get those ISS users. Everything else can wait!" Taiwyn commanded.
"What's going on." Ratchet asked.
"Adrien is having respiratory failure. Doctors are treating him with an oxygen tank and carbon dioxide vacuum. However, It seems like it could also be radiation poisoning in his veins. I have a feeling that he only has 6 says if we don't cure him! Meet us at the hospital in Kerwan." Taiwyn explained.
"I'm on it." Ratchet said.
Ratchet closed comms with Taiwyn, he checked on the ISS for survivors, no one was alive. He then went to pick up information from a listed medical satalite which was all natural remedies. Luckily, one of them was for a vaccine that could cure Adrien's illness. He went back to Kerwan Hospital right after to give data to the doctors to develop that cure. Adrien is still unconcious. His heart is currently beating at 120 beats per second to filter the blood. It's still not going to be enough. Adrien still has 6 days.
"So do we have these ingredients?" Ratchet asked.
"Yes, a matter of fact, we may already have the cure for it, Potassium Iodide, in his planet, doctors will not tell you what it is because they want to keep their supplies, infact they were using other chemicals just to make money." The Doctor said. "However, we do need him awake as we can only give this to him in pill form at the moment. I need you to call Jacob because he's not answering us."
Ratchet called Jacob. This time, he picked up the phone.
"What's going on Ratchet?" Jacob asked.
"Well, Adrien is sick right now, we do have the cure, but we need him awake to take it." Ratchet said before he was interrupted.
"He wouldn't care if you give him wake up stim. I don't know how he is with needles yet, but he's asleep so he won't notice until you gave it to him. You could ask him though." J said.
"Alright, see you." Ratchet said before hanging up.
"Okay, jab it in!" Ratchet said.
Adrien was given the wake up stim.
"What happened!" Adrien said.
"Calm down and take this, your heart is on 150 and we don't need you to get a heart attack." The doctor said.
Adrien took the medicine and went back to sleep. 6 days later, while Ratchet was getting everything else aside from the submarine users since his ship would burn up otherwise, Adrien's Radiation sickness was minimalized to the point where doctors could get rid of the rest easily. His right leg was also healed and Adrien could take the bandage off without any pain when he stands on his right he got on the running machine, he was running faster too. J came and took Adrien out for a bite to eat as restraunts for their kind were already being developed. Somehow, a lot of naturalized citizens of kerwan and nearby planets were liking the food there. Live stock was already provided since they were stolen barrowed from Earth. It was August 17 when they wnt for a bite at Applebees.
_This is the line I'm talking about_
"Hey Adrien, cheer up, It's a special day today. Look, I'm sure there are people back at Earth who are still alive" J said.
"I know, it's something else. I can't put my finger on it." Adrien said.
"Hey can I get you something to drink." said the woman.
The woman was 20 years old, she was the same race as Adrien was. She had brown hair, green eyes, wore an amulet on her. This amulet was similar to what adrien had stored on his ship. This kind of amulet was for relationships. Adrien didn't recognize her voice at all due to the grief he had despite it not being shown.
"I'll have a coca-cola" Adrien said.
"Pepsi" J said.
"I'll be back with your drinks J and Adripie." The woman said.
"I know only one girl who would call me that." Adrien said.
"She's your girlfriend?" J asked.
"Lucy." Adrien said.
"Hey, that Earthian girl's amulet must be worth a lot of bolts, but she's too ugly for that necklace." A rude customer said. the group around the rude customer was laughing.
"One minute" Adrien said. Adrien walked to the rude customer. The group around the customer was already regretting laughing.
"Do you even know who that girl is?" Adrien asked. Adrien was speaking in a calm voice, but he was already ticked off.
"Look, I can understand if she was important to you, I'll take that back, I'll do anything! Please don't kill me!" The rude customer said as he was already frightened by Adrien's appearence.
"Get out." Adrien commanded,
The rude customer and his laughing group ran out the door right away.
Lucy actually looked beautiful anyways. Lucy was one of Adrien's high school lovers. At high school, Adrien was doing AFJROTC so he had his hair much shorter at the time. Eventhough the first date was free, Adrien and Lucy would hang out after school to either go to the beach, explore they city, or even go to Denny's. At one point, they even went to the mall so Adrien could get an amulet for himself and Lucy. Adrien got the silver one while Lucy got the Gold/Diamond one. They had to move to Texas anyways because of the implant problem. Adrien's grief was not over her, it was over leaving her at Earth.
"You know I thought I was never gonna see you again the moment I stepped on that IXS." Lucy said.
It turns out Lucy was on the 2nd IXS. While Adrien built the 3rd IXS, Lucy was already going on a flight on the 2nd one. Lucy never had an implant on her either, but thre same went for everyone Quark got on his ship. This doesn't mean the 4 billion people who got in the bunkers were implanted. 2 billion were actually implanted.
Other that Adrien was happy that she was still alive.
"I'm just glad you're okay." Adrien was relieved.
As Adrien and Lucy were about to have their kissing moment J interupted them.
"Hey, I know it's normal for us, but please... do it while no one is looking." J said as he pulled the big brother card on Adrien.
"Fine" Adrien said.
"Wow, he does sure mess with you a lot" Lucy said.
"Which other careers do you like?" Adrien asked. "That guy, honestly, was very disrespectful."
"Well, I could do some of that kind of space exploration you do. Maybe join your guys's team." Lucy said. This has shocked Adrien.
"You are not becomiing a Galactic Ranger. It's dangerous." Adrien said.
"You think I haven't handled myself these past 2 years Adrien?" Lucy argued.
"Ugh, Eu odeio quando você está certo.(I hate it when you are right.) Fine. You can join." Adrien said.
