A Reluctant Encounter

Worries

Talwyn was worried she'd not seen Ratchet in 5 days after the explosion of Nefarious's space station, and was briefly mentioned that Ratchet had disappeared on the news. She couldn't admit it but she loved him and her heart ached at his absence. What if he died, she would be devastated and she couldn't bear herself if something happened to him and oh she wanted to scold him to no end, she wanted to cry out in pain but she held it in and pray the he'll come back unharmed.

"Watch were your swinging that thing you darn fool, in my day we didn't use wireless controllers and all that motion detecting what'cha ma call its weren't necessary," a robot named Zephyr said .

"Yeah, but in my day we used controllers made of plain and simple wood, not these metal and plastic ones," another robot named Cronk replied.

"Guys I'm trying to think," the Markazian Talwyn said annoyed. Markazians resembled humans except they had pointed ears and tails that ended in a slight point.

'You still worried about that young whippersnapper lombax?" Zephyr asked, taking his attention from a game they were playing.

"Yeah, I'm worried that he's in danger," Talwyn said sitting down on a chair, She had been restless and had many nightmares of what might have happened, so she was found pacing and constantly sitting and getting up all the time.

"I know that young'uns tough like I was back in my day during the time I fought the undead zombie dung dragons on Folsteriod Plateau using a rusty spork and a roll of toilet paper that I stole on Igliak," Cronk said waving his controller.

"You did, I did that you old rust bucket and watch where you're aiming that thing," Zephyr argued.

"Guys I heard that story more than a hundred of times," Talwyn replied.

"Yes but I'm sure the young'uns fine," Zephyr reassured.

"Fine I know he's fine, I'm and expert in lombax renowned history and them creatures are tough stuff, like me in my day," Cronk replied.

"You, you can't even keep your head on straight ya darn fool!" Zephyr said referring to Cronk's easily removable head.

"At least I don't have 43% chance of CPU failure!" Cronk said insulting Zephyr.

"Guys, guys quite arguing!" Talwyn shouted. "I just hope Ratchet is ok." Talwyn just needed a sign anything, she just couldn't bear to see Ratchet dead somewhere or stranded in an unown place and never to be found again, she hoped that he was alive and well

. There was more urgent matters like that weird blue guy that was pretending to be Nefarious that Cronk commented that it remind him the time when the kerchu ambassador Boogoh was kidnapped and replaced with a florona dung beaver, but she waited for any leads of hearing about Ratchet.

Sigmund had to clear an extremely bad infestation of teratropes large crab-like creatures that fed on Quantum energy in Mnemioc chamber Zulu, "take that you stupid teratropes, hey I think I'm getting the hang of this!"

"XJ-0461 WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER," the female computer mocked.

"Why youuu, I don't need your opinion on anything!" Sigmund shouted with rage.

"MAYBE IF YOU TRAINED IN THE MNEMIOC CHAMBER YOU WOULD BE A LITTLE BETTER, INSTEAD OF WATCHING CARTOONS," it said.

"What a little better, why youuuu! Sigmund yelled. He couldn't take it, that computer was asking for it, it'll get what's coming for it in the future and Sigmund hopes that it was something bad just to change it's attitude. But Sigmund's bad wish would be coming true and he jumped when he heard the computer.

"UNAUTHORIZED SHIP DETECTED," the computer said.

"What a ship! Oh no not again, why does this always have to happen, "Sigmund panicking and ran to the broom closet as he heard the sounds of the same guards that Nefarious had deployed in the Clock last time, he had fixed everything and now he knew that everything he'd fixed would be destroyed and he'd have to spend a day trying to rebuild after the damage if he survived. What was he doing he was senior caretaker and he was hiding in a broom closet once again, he had a responsibility and he wasn't protecting the Clock.

He knew that they would try to hack the computer and open the Orvus Chamber and the universe would be doomed, he couldn't believe this was happening he heard the computer trying to deny access but how long would it be able to withstand those Terachnoid hackers, Then something came in mind that might just slow them down until he could get help, but it might cause the computer to hate him more but now he didn't care he had to stop them from getting in the Orvus chamber.

He rushed in to the orientation chamber trying to avoid being seen. The zoni were flying away and some were blasting the guards in defense just to get away. He grabbed the thing that he'd had mistaken as a controller years ago "Never mess with the caretaker, and sorry for this! He soon started mashing and banging on the controller and then soon everything went black. He hoped he'd brought time and now he had to contact someone anyone he could trust.
