I'M GOING TO SEE THE RATCHET AND CLANK MOVIE! Because for those who don't know, Insomniac released a BRAND NEW TRAILER TO THE RATCHET AND CLANK MOVIE! It was released on 15-10-2015, and I don't mean to swear but the trailer was FUCKING AWESOME! And it really did change my thoughts on the movie. When I saw the first teaser trailer, I wasn't really interested. But after seeing the first official trailer, I had mixed thoughts. But now that I've seen the new trailer, I'm actually hyped! I wonder how people think though of the new voice actor of Chairman Drek. I mean he's okay, but I would rather have the actor from the game. And I thought I heard the actor who played Doctor Nefarious. Because if my theory is true, I think he's playing as an organic in the movie, or "Squishy" and not in his robotic form. I'm not sure though, this is all speculation, I just thought I heard and saw it. I also do wanna say thank you for all your support again as we now just hit 1,000 VIEWS ON THIS STORY. Keep up with it, it is all very much appreciated. But I do want to apologize as what you are about to read may possibly be the shortest chapter in this story. I still keep to my standard of making a planet or place a chapter and when I was looking up the disposal facility, it was indeed a place. So I had to make it one chapter, despite the fact that barely any combat is involved with it. They just destroy a few things and then there's a cutscene and that's it. I did add a little thing at the end, but it's not much, It was just all I could think of. Anyhow, I'll stop talking now and let you guys read this surprisingly short chapter.

False Truths
As the group was entering the the facility, Jordan got ready to input Fizzwidget's code. "Alright. input the password...now." Ratchet said.
"On it." Jordan replied. Jordan slowly pressed the buttons, careful not to press a wrong button. He slowly typed Q-W-A-R-K-T-A-S-T-I-C and once he was done, he pressed the enter button and waited for the message that confirmed access had been granted to them. Then a message arrived...
"Access Denied." a robotic voice said from the dashboards speakers.
"What?" Jordan said.
Suddenly a loud bang came from the right side of the ship as it shook from the impact. The sudden jolt made the group jump. Once they looked over, they saw that there was a large turret firing at them, with four other turrets in the distance starting up. "Uh, Jordan? Did you put that code in right?", Ratchet said.
"Every single letter!"
"Well the defences are attacking us!"
"Don't put this on me! Put it on the imbecile who gave us a phony code!"
"Ah forget it! We'll just have to hold them off until Fizzwidget gets here!"
Ratchet's mind switched to attack mode. Ratchet saw one turret begin to reload and he immediately flew at it. Once he was close, he fired one missile and a rain of laser fire at it. The group saw parts of the turret disintegrate until soon, it blew to smithereens, bits and pieces flying around the large structure.
Ratchet turned to face the next turret,who, apparantly, just finished reloading and started to fire green lasers at their ship. Ratchet focused on this turret now and rolled to the left to dodge one laser, then rolled to the right to dodge another one. He then turned to the right and the group saw that the turret moved so slowly that it couldn't turn around in time to see Ratchet launch the rockets at it that would blow it to pieces mere seconds later.
Only three turrets left. Jordan then noticed something shiny floating around and pointed it out to Ratchet. The Lombax flew over to it and immediatly the ship sucked it up. They recieved a notification on the dashboard that told them they had collected one Raritanium, and the group knew all too well that they could use Raritanium for ship upgrades.
But then they saw a turret moving down towards them, that fired a laser that hit their left wing, taking a small chunk out of it. This made the Lombax angry and he quickly jerked the ship to the left and saw the turret, that began to reload. Ratchet then slowed the ship down and started unloading his somehow infinite amount of lasers at the turret and destroyed it. The group then saw another piece of Rareitanium come out of it and Ratchet quickly grabbed it, now having collected 2 Raritanium. With only two left, the group one to their left and chared at it. As the turret readied its weapon, Ratchet realized that he'd forgotten about the built in shields that he always had and pressed the button. A blue dome then surrounded the ship and the group saw the turret fire at them, but saw the shield deflect the bullets. Ratchet was now ready to finish the turret off and he fired two missiles at it that blew it to pieces.
Only one turret remaining. Ratchet made an upwards U-turn and quickly rolled to the right to avoid being hit by the lasers the turret was firing at them. While charging at the turret, Ratchet performed an aileron roll to make the wings less easy to hit while firing everything he had at the last turret.
One giant explosion later, the defences had been dealt with. Jordan looked around to see if there were any threats left.
"That looks like the last one." Jordan said.
"Good. Now let's call Fizzwidget." Ratchet said.
Ratchet dialed Fizzwidget's number through the number pad on the ships dashboard and soon enough, the CEO's face appeared on the screen. "Come in gentlemen, can you hear me?"
"YOU GAVE US A PHONY PASSWORD!" Jordan yelled.
"Implausible! Unless... uh... is this Tuesday or Wednesday?"
Jordan sighed in frustration and facepalmed.
"Anyway, sorry to have missed our meeting but I was called away to film a commercial for our weapons facilitory.", the Megacorp CEO continued.
"B-b-but sir. What about the-" Ratchet said.
"Commercial?" Fizzwidget interrupted. "I was great! Here, watch this."
Fizzwidget disappeared from the screen and what popped up was indeed the commercial. The camera was zooming in on the weapons facility in question, while Fizzwidget spoke "Megacorp. Keeps you warm, keeps you healthy, and now, keeps you safe!"
Then the camera switched to Fizzwidget. He was standing very close to the camera on the left side of the screen, and he was standing in front of the weapons facility. "Hello! I'm Abercrombie Fizzwidget, and I'd like to welcome you to the new Megacorp Weapons facility."
The screen turned towards a group of robots; a modern robotic family, and what was clearly a robotic version of Fizzwidget. They were all entering the building. "We offer guided tours to show you how our weapons are made." the video then showed the inside of some kind of factory that was making very large missiles. And inside were two robots working on a conveyor belt, but stopped and turned around as the 'tour' entered.
"Our highly trained experts spend their day creating the latest heavy-duty weaponry to protect you, and your whole family." as the robotic Fizzwidget and the robotic couple left, the smaller robot that must've been the child stayed to observe the bigger robot a little more. But the supposivly acclaimed "Expert" used his blaster and accidentally blew the small robot to pieces.
The screen then quickly turned to a missile that was being built and showed the robotic Fizzwidget and a robot that must've been the wife of the couple quickly zip past the screen, leaving a robot that must've been the husband behind as he tapped the tip of the missile, and as a result, the rocket and the robot exploded. "So stop by today, and bring the kids. Our tours are both informative, and fun." the screen then showed a large worker bot (that was almost identical to the one that accidentally destroyed the small robot earlier) give a red balloon to the last surviving robot in the family. But this moment wouldn't last long as the balloon mysteriously exploded and killed the wife. The video then showed Fizzwidget again and he was now giving his concluding speech. "And who knows, you might just learn something."
The video ended and Fizzwidget appeared back on the dashboard again. "That was one handsome fellow, eh, boys? Ha, ha, ha! Fizzwidget out."
"WAIT A SECOND!" Jordan yelled, but it was too late, the Megacorp CEO was gone. "FUCK!" he yelled.
"Relax Jordan. He'll probably be at the weapons facility." Ratchet said.
"I better hope so." Jordan replied, trying to stay calm.
Ratchet flew out of the dispocal facility and blasted off to the coördinates they received; planet Todano. While Ratchet was flying, Jordan decided to explore the ship some more and as he looked into the glove compartment of the ship again, he saw that hidden all the way in the back was a bottle of purified water.
Jordan wasn't really thirsty at the moment, but he knew he could use it to wash the dry blood off his face.
Jordan twisted the cap off and poured a small amount of water onto his left hand. He then placed it to the side and rubbed his hands together to moisten them. He then started rubbing his face and Jordan looked through a side-view mirror on the right side of the ship and slowly saw the blood slide down his face. He then used his jacket to dry it off and repeated this process about three more times. Once he dried his face off, he looked into the mirror again and saw that it was now blood free. As he was putting the bottle back into the little compartment, he looked over at Sophia and remembered what she said back in the Maktar Nebula.
"Here." Jordan said as he handed the bottle to Sophia. The Lombax hesitated while Jordan held it out, but Jordan twisted the cap off then held it out again. Sophia accepted it and Jordan saw her slowly chug the bottle down until there were only tiny droplets left. Sophia then gave the bottle back to Jordan, who took it and put it back in the compartment. "Thank you." she said.
"You're welcome." Jordan replied.
"What about me?" Ratchet asked.
"You should've asked."
"She got it without asking."
"Well sorry that she doesn't have a needless stomach like yours."
"Oh, gimme a break."
From that moment on, it was silent in the cockpit as the group flew to the weapons facility.
There's chapter 17. I really don't have much to say here today. But to anyone who follows my Deviantart, or sorta keeps up to date on what I put up, I've decided to draw an idea that I said I might do and that would be Jordan with his armored jacket on. I decided to draw him since I am restocked on black colored pencils (I use a lot of black pencils), and also since I said on DeviantArt that I have run out of ideas to draw, and I wanted to upload a new image about this story. So expect that a week or so. Anyhow, stay tuned for when the group explores the weapons facility in chapter 18.
