Ratchet barely moved an inch for the long hour that they were forced to wait inside the sanitation room. Not a single word was spoken from Ratchet nor Clank, who was still sitting in his friend's lap for the sake of comforting him. The Lombax was trying to process a single thought. Anything that would take his mind off of the news he was told a short while ago. His eyes were lifeless and half closed as despair kept crawling up his being. The same words kept echoing in his mind as he tried to pull himself together just a small bit.

Cor Venenati.

The disease that was poisoning his heart. And only five years to stop it. Five years would sound like plenty of time to anyone who heard it. Plenty of time to cure the disease. But to Ratchet, those five years felt like they were merely going to be five minutes from then. The thought of having his life cut so short when there were still so many things to see in do out in the universe crushed his spirit completely. He already felt like that he didn't have a fighting chance. Dr. Dexter and Clank had tried to cheer him up with the odds of his survival, but the fear of death that the disease brought haunted his mind. It might not be enough. He might actually die in just five short years.

"Ratchet?" Clank asked quietly, looking up at his friend.

Ratchet frowned and glanced at the concerned robot. He didn't move a muscle, but he did speak. "Sorry I've been so quiet, pal. There's just...a lot to take in."

"I am aware of that. And I know that you are more than likely thinking about your possible death in five years. But you cannot forget that you have a fighting chance."

"Yeah, I know…" he sighed a bit. "I wish that I could tell everyone goodbye before we're moved to this quarantine planet."

"I wish that you could, too. But Dr. Dexter will leave a message to everyone you want to inform. And that is better than leaving them in the dark."

"I guess so."

After an hour of having his head on the table, Ratchet finally sat up his ears drooping. Even though the situation was grim, he appreciated Clank for encouraging him to stay the least bit positive. He didn't know what he would do if Clank wasn't coming with him. He would definitely be in much worse condition, that was for sure. Ratchet opened his mouth to say something, but the door to the room clicked and Dr. Dexter came in with something in his hand.

"I'm sorry about the way, but we're reaching the quarantine planet now."

"Wait, what about all of our stuff back on Veldin? Are you just sending us in empty-handed?" Ratchet asked.

"We'll be sending you with everything you'll need," Dr. Dexter assure him. He reached out and handed what seemed like a pamphlet to Ratchet. "I grabbed this if you wanted more info on the planet you'll be staying on. A little something handy from the sanitation force."

Ratchet raised an eyebrow. He didn't exactly expect info for a diseased planet to be packed down into a resort-like pamphlet. But he still decided to look at it with Clank, as some info was better than no info at all.

The planet was a grayish brown color with small patches of green and blue, not the nicest looking planet, but they've seen worse. However, Ratchet had to speak up when he saw the name of the planet.

"Kuaran...Tene...it's just pronounced 'quarantine' but it's spelled differently!" He said, a little offended that they would make a clever name out of a diseased planet.

"It wasn't my decision," the Terachnoid said. "And for the record, I thought it was clever when I first heard it."

Clank shook his head at the name of the planet and read some of the information inside with Ratchet. Planet Kuaran Tene was an empty planet on the edge of the Polaris galaxy. Because of its livable conditions and location, it became the living place for people with contagious diseases. There was fresh water and plant and animal life, along with valleys with cliffs. Small villages were made in the flatlands of the planet for the infected people to live. Despite the name, Kuaran Tene seemed like a decent little planet.

The pamphlet also read that the Polaris Sanitation Force starship, Starship Purity, constantly hovered over the planet. It provided assistance to people who were injured and sent down a daily tote of food to the villages. There was also a team of scientists on board who were working hard to find a cure for the disease. This part caught Ratchet's attention.

"So they're working on the cure to the Cor Venenati disease on this starship?"

"Oh yes! They're working very hard! And they do it here so they can get the cure to the infected people as soon as possible."

"Can...can we see the place where the cure is being made?" Ratchet asked. Maybe seeing the cure in the works would give him a bit more hope. He was desperate for just a drop of hope at this point.

But his dreams were crushed when Dr. Dexter shook his head. "Eh...I-I'm afraid not. S-See, if you see it, you'll...you'll contaminate the whole area! The cure might not be good if it's exposed to the disease prematurely."

"Oh…" The Lombax's ears drooped again.

Dr. Dexter was quick to change the subject after that. "So, we might as well get ready to send you down. But first, is there anyone you would like me to contact about this...situation?"

"Yes, actually."

"Alright, I'll need their names and the message."

Ratchet sat there for a moment. He turned his head away for about a minute, both Clank and Dr. Dexter staring at him. They could feel the upset atmosphere around him. This was already too hard for him. After a few deep breaths and wiping his eyes, he turned back around. He tried to sound confident as he spoke in a serious tone.

"Send a message to Talwyn Apogee and Captain Qwark. They'll tell everyone else after they find out. And tell them I said that, even with odds stacked against me, I'll try my best to come home someday. And...if I don't make it...that they're the best family that I could ever ask for. And Talwyn needs to take good care of Clank if that happens."

Clank looked up at Ratchet and frowned. He held his friend's arm to comfort him. Dr. Dexter nodded as he took notes on the message. "I understand, thank you for the message. I'll tell them as sincerely as I possibly can."

"Thanks, doc," Ratchet said sadly.

The Terachnoid opened the door and motioned Ratchet and Clank to come out. People in hazmat suits were waiting outside the door. "Come now. We'll send you down to Planet Kuaran Tene."

Ratchet and Clank glanced at each other before they got out of their seat. Ratchet took a deep breath before reaching down and swinging Clank onto his back, quickly following the people leading him out of the room. This felt like it was happening too fast. Several hours ago, he was doing just fine and relaxing in Aphelion. Now he was diagnosed with a fatal disease and being moved to a new planet. It was amazing how quickly his life could change. The universe really did have a sense of humor. But its jokes weren't always the best.

The hazmat team lead Ratchet across the large Starship Purity. Everywhere he walked, the hazmat team reported was contaminated and that it needed to be cleansed. Ratchet didn't exactly like the sound of that. They were making it sound like that he himself was a disease and not just a carrier of one. He got that the disease was very contagious, but they could at least keep the cleansing protocol to themselves instead of saying it clearly for him to hear. Hsi large ears weren't just for show.

The group came to a stop outside a silver sliding door. One of the hazmat-suited people walked up to a keypad and typed in a code, making a light above the door go from red to green. Inside was what looked like the escape pod bay. It was a very barebones room, with just the escape pods and a very large tote. Ratchet and Clank recognized the tote, as it was the same one that was shown in the pamphlet. It was the one that was sent down to give the people on the planet food. Clank guessed that they sent it down and brought it back with the tractor beam so they didn't need to send a new tote every day.

After looking at the tote of food, Ratchet and Clank were brought to a loaded escape pod that had its coordinates set for the planet. Dr. Dexter scuttled in behind them with a large hovering trunk. He offered the handle to Ratchet, "This trunk has everything you'll need for your life down on the planet. You'll have to get help from one of the villagers to find a house to live in because we're not sure what kind of housing they've created down there. You'll also get to keep whatever's stored in your friend there."

Ratchet grabbed the trunk's handle and pulled it towards him, "Thanks."

Dr. Dexter noticed the tone of the Lombax's voice. He frowned, "Ratchet...I'm still so sorry about this. I promise you, the scientists are hard at work on finding a cure. You'll just have to put up with these new arrangements for a while. I know that you'll be able to make it through this."

"I hope so. Don't forget about the message I want to give to Talwyn and Qwark. That's what's most important to me right now."

"Yes, of course, I will deliver it as soon as you're sent off. You have my word that they'll get every word you said."

"Alright then," Ratchet said, turning around. "I'll see you around, doc."

That was all Ratchet had left to say to the Terachnoid. Clank gave a wave to Dr. Dexter as Ratchet climbed into the escape pod that the hazmat team was leading him into. He sat down at the controls, which were disabled, and sat the trunk next to him. Clank simply stood next to the trunk and watched as the door to the escape pod was closed, a guilty look remaining on Dr. Dexter's face. And, after a few moments, the escape pod activated and began leaving the terminal. Ratchet stared out the front window as they began their descent towards the planet. They were on their way.

Dr. Dexter watched the escape pod leave. He let out a sad huff and shook his head, turning around so he could leave for the communicator to leave the messages to Ratchet's friends. "That poor, poor boy…"

The escape pod didn't take long to enter Planet Kuaran Tene. The black and star-studded space around them became a blue sky with clouds scattered throughout it. Clank attempted to get up and see what was near the planet's surface, but he was unable to due to his short stature. Ratchet was able to see it, but he wasn't quite processing it. The feeling of dread was still hanging over him. Part of him was interested in what his new living conditions would be like, but the other part of him just wanted to lay down in a bed and never get up.

Though, on the way down, he did see the village that they would be living in. It was a small one, with small houses made of bricks and stone and wood and some made of metal. There were several people out and about, some looked like they were chatting while some looked like they were working. It looked like that this village had a system going on for awhile. But he couldn't simply assume things by just looking at them. Maybe some of those people were freaking out just like he was. He guessed that he would find out soon.

But, as they were landing, it appeared that they had caught the attention of someone, as they watched their escape pod come close to the ground and began walking towards them. Ratchet stood up, "Well, looks like we're here. And we might have some company."

"Do they look hostile?" Clank asked, trying to see out the windshield.

"No, they look like a...Markazian," Ratchet replied, squinting his eyes a bit.

Both of them curious about who this person was, Ratchet grabbed his trunk and opened the door to the escape pod, which both of them quickly stepped out of. They couldn't help but notice the pleasant breeze that they were greeted with. Many trees around the area made soft 'shhh' noises as they blew with the wind. Their different shades of green colors shined in the warm sunlight. Despite being a diseased planet, Ratchet felt like that this planet was meant for camping. It was more pleasant than he thought. The cliffs and mountains in the distance made for a decent looking view. This place looked more pure than diseased.

After taking in their new environment, Ratchet and Clank walked to the side of the escape pod and saw the person who had been walking towards them. They were clearly a Markazian with the pointed ears, spotted skin, and thin tail. But they both noticed something off about him. His skin was extremely pale, nearly white. And while it really made his brown eyes and spiky brown hair stand out, it wasn't something they've seen in a Markazian before.

He approached them with a smile, Ratchet having a bit of an urge to grab his Omniwrench just in case he was hostile. But, instead of mugging them or attacking, he offered a small wave, "Hey there. I saw your escape pod coming down from the Starship Purity. Looks like you turned out like the rest of us, huh?"

"Uh...yeah?" Ratchet said, caught off guard by the guy's nonchalant attitude. He expected people with the disease to be more...on edge like he was.

The Markazian put out his hand and smiled again, "Well, don't worry, everyone here knows exactly what you're going through. I thought I'd tell you that right off the bat because you must be freaking out after hearing that you had the Cor Venenati disease. I tell this to everyone who firsts land here to help them feel just a bit better. I'm Rylus."

"Oh...well, that's kind of cool of you. I'm Ratchet," Ratchet replied, shaking Rylus's hand.

"You're the first Lombax that we've ever gotten here. And that's...rather unfortunate, actually," Rylus said, trailing off at the last part as he realized that someone part of an endangered species has a deadly disease. He quickly shifted the subject when he saw Clank. "Who's this little guy? We don't have any robots here, either."

"I am Clank," Clank said with a small smile. "It is nice to meet you, Rylus."

"Ooh, he's polite, I like that." Rylus stretched his arms before putting his hands on his sides. "Well, guess I'll just cut to the chase because you two are probably drained after all of this. Like they told everyone else that came here, you'll need some help finding a place to live. Why don't we go see what kind of houses they have available."

"You're so quick with this," Ratchet said, surprised at how fast this was all moving. Rylus was really cut-to-the-chase with all of this. "How many times have you done this with new people on the planet?"

"Ehh...way too many. I've gotten a little too used to it." he replied, looking a bit sad knowing that so many people were forced here by the disease. But he tried to keep his spirits up for the new people. He motioned them along, "A-Anyway, if I'm going to fast for you, just tell me. In the meantime, let's go into the village and find you a house."

"Oh, alright then. I hope we get a decent place to live," Ratchet said, shaking off the speed that all of this was going and grabbing his trunk.

Ratchet and Clank followed Rylus through the grassy flatland, which was home to many flowers and plants. It was like one big garden. And at the end of the garden was the small village Ratchet had seen through the window of the escape pod. He was surprised at the different species that were living here. Markazians, some Kerchu, Tharpods, and even Fongoids. And despite the diversity of the people in the village, there seemed to be a sense of peace among them. Some were happily chatting, some Kerchu and Tharpods were playing card games, A Fongoid child was playing with a Markazian teenager, it was almost enough to make Ratchet smile.

However, his smile soon faded, as he remembered one grim thing: all of these people had five years or left to live. The peacefulness of the village nearly made him forget that they all had the Cor Venenati disease, and they were all most likely suffering in their own ways. Ratchet then realized that the disease was most likely the reason for Rylus's pale skin. Upon closer inspection, the skin seemed a bit flaky as well and almost cracked. The Lombax frowned and looked at himself, wondering how the disease was going to affect him, but he didn't exactly want to think about that.

He sighed to himself and looked around once more. At least the village he was going to be staying in was peaceful. It was nice and mostly quiet, and there didn't seem to be commotion whatsoever-

"Excuse me! Pardon me!" Yelled a voice behind the three.

Ratchet and Clank looked behind them and were startled to see a cart with a crate on top rolling towards them. Acting fast, Rylus pushed the two out of the way and let the cart speed by him. Ratchet took a glance at the careless person pushing the cart. With a view of their back, he could see that it was a brown furry creature with large ears. They were wearing a short white dress with black leggings, and two long fluffy tails sprouted out from underneath the dress. Whoever this person was, they were obviously not one to look where they were going.

Rylus shook his head as he released Ratchet and Clank and stepped forward. "Delta, be careful! You almost ran us over!"

Delta's large ears twitched and they turned their head. Clank squinted his eyes a bit as he realized how much this person resembled a bat, with a rather large purple nose and long fangs. The part that stood out the most, though, were the two turquoise horns coming out the top of their head, which matched the color of their large eyes. This Delta has an interesting look indeed.

Delta quickly turned around and faced the group of three, looking rather guilty. They scratched the back of their head and shrugged, "Sorry, Rylus. I guess I didn't see you there. Who else did I almost run over? Who's beside you?"

Rylus placed a hand on Ratchet's shoulder and then pointed to Clank when introducing them, "This is Ratchet and this is Clank. They're new to the planet."

The bat-like creature tilted their head, "So we got some new people today, huh? I guess they wound up like the rest of us. Sorry about this bad circumstance that you guys are involved in."

"Eh, it's uh...alright, I guess. I mean, you must have it, too..." Ratchet stammered a bit, not quite sure how to discuss the disease with other people infected with it. He cleared his throat and tried to clear the awkwardness, "Anyway, Delta was it?"

They smiled and nodded, taking a step closer, "That's me, alright. Sorry for almost running you down with the cart, by the way."

"Well, you didn't hit us, and that's what's important." Ratchet held out his hand towards Delta, "Like Rylus said, I'm Ratchet. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too."

Ratchet kept holding his hand out, waiting for Delta to take it and give a nice introductory handshake. However, their hands remained where they were, though they were smiling and looked happy to meet him. Ratchet looked down at Clank who looked just as confused as he did. Clank stepped forward and spoke up, thinking that this awkward silence had gone on for long enough.

"Pardon me, but I believe that my friend would like to shake your hand."

"Huh?" Delta said, tilting their head again. Their ears twitched a bit and suddenly they looked a bit embarrassed. "O-Oh! Are you holding out your hand to me? Sorry, I didn't realize."

"I'm holding my hand right in front of you," Ratchet said, his ears lowering a bit. How did they not see his hand? It was clearly right in from of them! Ratchet was about to say something before Rylus grabbed his shoulder and leaned a bit. The Lombax looked at the Markazian out of the corner of his eye and muttered, "What?"

"You'll have to forgive Delta. You were told about the disease on the Starship Purity, right? Did they tell you that the disease affects different species in different ways?" Rylus asked.

Ratchet nodded, "Yeah, I remember."

"Well, this is what the disease did to Delta. It took their eyesight about a year ago. They're blind. See how their eyes are completely glossed over with the turquoise color?" Rylus told Ratchet.

The Lombax looked at Delta and did notice that their eyes were just one solid color. There was no pupil. "Oh..." Ratchet's ears lowered again. He frowned, "Sorry, I didn't know. That's...really terrible."

"Don't worry, it's fine. Delta has gotten really used to it. They're even comfortable enough to make jokes about it. Though a lot of them are either in bad taste or just straight up terrible."

"I heard that," Delta said, pointing at Rylus and lowering their ears.

"But they have really good hearing as you just clearly witnessed," Rylus said, glancing at his friend.

Clank couldn't help but notice something about the way that Rylus was addressing Delta. He spoke up about it as he was curious to know."Excuse me, but why are you calling Delta 'they'? Do you now know the gender of your own friend?"

"Of course I do, but Delta is genderfluid. They don't identify as male or female. They'll be whatever they feel like. Though they're wearing a dress today because they were feeling more feminine."

"Oh...that's neat," Ratchet said as Clank added 'genderfluid' to his database. But Ratchet raised an eyebrow as he realized something, "Wait, you said that Delta is blind. How did they know that we were here next to you?"

"I can answer that one," Delta said. They grabbed their ears and gave off a proud smile, "In case you didn't know, I'm an Ekoid. And us Ekoids use echolocation to get around in the dark caves we like to live in. So, after I went blind, I started using my echolocation all the time to see my surroundings. That's why I could detect the two of you there."

"An Ekoid. Interesting," Clank said, adding that to his database as well.

Delta let go of their ears as they began twitching. They looked down at Clank as they thoroughly checked Clank with their echolocation. They got down onto the ground and laid on their side, staring at him. "You seem to be a tiny little guy. What species am I looking at that made you so little?"

"I am a robot, actually," Clank said, taking a step back from Delta.

"Oooh! A robot! We haven't had one of you guys before!" They said excitingly, their tails waving a bit. They put a hand on Clank, ending up on his back, and smiled. "Ah, you're metal is so smooth. I don't get much contact with robots. I wish I did, though."

"Well, I am...happy to help you finally come into contact with a robot," Clank said, feeling a slight bit uncomfortable, but happy for the Ekoid nonetheless.

"Alright alright, quit feeling up the robot. Shoo!" Rylus said, pushing Delta away from Clank and back up onto their feet.

But Delta was quick to step out of Rylus's grip and in front of Ratchet, "So, what species are you?"

"I'm a Lombax," Ratchet said simply.

"Oooh, fancy," they said, feeling Ratchet's fur. "Furry and exotic. I like it."

Rylus grabbed Delta's collar and pulled them back. He looked at Ratchet, "Sorry about Delta, guys. They're obnoxiously curious, as you can see."

"Pardon?" Delta said, looking over their shoulder and glaring at Rylus.

The Markazian let his friend go and stopped them before they could get into anything else. "Nevermind. Look, we're trying to find a place for these two to live. Do you know if there are any empty houses around?"

"Pfft, how do you expect me to know which ones are empty? I'm as blind as a bat." They said with a big smile, their two long fangs hanging out. But the smile soon went away as they realized that they were actually a bat. "Wait a minute... "

Clank chuckled a bit as he actually found that to be rather humorous, but Rylus rolled his eyes at the joke. "Alright, looks like we'll have to find it ourselves."

"Well, actually…" Delta started, shaking off the joking attitude. They put a hand on their fuzzy chin looked back at the group. "I think there might be a free cottage near the end of the village. There are usually some free ones there anyway. There aren't that many people here, after all."

"Alright. Thanks for the info, Delta. Though next time you should just tell us instead of making a joke about being 'blind as a bat.'"

"Hey! I heard one of them laugh. They liked it...whichever one it was."

"It was me," Clank said, raising his hand.

"You have a great sense of humor," Delta said, smiling sweetly down at Clank.

Ratchet stepped in as he was getting a bit tired of the bickering. "Look, can we just...get to the cottage? We're pretty tired and had a long an...shocking day to sat the least."

"Yeah, we can," Rylus said with a nod. He looked at Delta, "We're gonna head over there now. Get these guys settled in."

"Alright. Make sure that they're comfortable, Rylus. We want you guys to feel welcome to our village," Delta said with another smile.

"Thanks. We'll see you around," Ratchet said, grabbing his trunk and pulling it with him as Rylus guided them away.

"It was nice to meet you, Delta," Clank said, following closely behind Ratchet.

Delta gave them a friendly wave as they walked away, and then continued to push the cart through the village, their two fluffy tails flowing behind them. Ratchet looked over his shoulder at them before looking forward again. Well, that was definitely an interesting encounter. Delta was kind of annoying, but at least they were sincere and rather positive. That was admirable for someone who lost their sight from a fatal disease. In fact, Rylus was like that as well. Maybe he would pick up on their positivity and gather the hope that he was desperately needing. It wouldn't hurt to make a few new friends, after all.

Rylus took Ratchet and Clank to the edge of the village, where some smaller houses were scattered about. They looked around and noticed that a lot of them were unoccupied like Delta had told them. Most people lived in the center of the village so they had easy access to everything, so no one lived near the end of the village. Bt at least Ratchet and Clank had a choice. Though it was a quick choice because they just decided to live in the one that was closest to the village. Also they all were practically the same, so the decision didn't quite matter house-wise.

They entered the small cottage, which was a simple gray stone house with a brown roof and a few windows, and were met with the cold wooden floor of the neglected of it. It was more like a motel room than a house. With a bed, a small kitchen, and a small bathroom, nearly all packed into one. Rylus scratched the back of his head as he knew the two weren't impressed with how their new home looked.

"It doesn't look like much, but it's all we can offer you. People do services in the village like washing and sewing, so those will be available if you need them. You won't have to worry about a lack of washing machine or anything."

"Well, it's not the most ideal living place," Ratchet said, placing the trunk next to the bed. "But if it's just me and Clank, then it'll do fine."

"It is at least easy to maneuver," Clank said, walking around. "We shall adjust to the size of it."

"That's good," Rylus said, clasping his hands together, even though he knew that the duo wasn't exactly happy with it. He decided that they should have some time to sit back and get used to their new surroundings. This was a big change for them, so they would need some time alone. "I'm going to leave you guys to get to know your new place a bit better. If you need me or need to know something, I'll be in the house with the sunflowers planted in front."

"Thank you for all of your help, Rylus," Clank said sincerely.

"Yeah, thanks for showing us around," Ratchet added.

"It's no problem. We're all suffering from the same thing. I would be making matters worse without offering some help," he said with a friendly smile. He grabbed the door handle and exited the house, "I'll see you guys later. And welcome to our village."

The door closed with a click and Rylus was gone, leaving Ratchet and Clank alone again. As soon as the door closed, Ratchet fell onto the bed and put a hand on his face, letting out a distressed sigh. "Oh my stars...I can't believe that this is where we're going to live."

Clank looked around the house, understanding what Ratchet meant. He placed a hand on the side of his head, "Well, like Rylus said, it is not much, but this is all they can offer us. I am sure that it will not look so bad after we spruce it up a bit."

"I really hope you're right about that," Ratchet said, keeping his hand on his face. "Because I feel like I'm living in a prison cell right now."

The robot sighed and brushed off some cotton webs off of the well, "I suppose that we will simply have to get used to it. Hopefully it will not be that hard."

"Yeah. Hopefully."

Ratchet uncovered his eyes and looked at the ceiling. A sense of tiredness was falling over him and he didn't want to get up from the bed. This place was going to take more than getting used to. It was almost a test of endurance to see how long he could put up with it. As much as he wanted to have a shred of positivity, he was just too exhausted to bring himself to feel anything other than disappointment and dread.

The Lombax rolled over onto his side and let his body lay on the stiff mattress. Today was most definitely the worst day of his life. Nothing could even come near topping it. Not Qwark's betrayal, not being trapped in the Dreadzone, not even the late General Azimuth. Ratchet sighed as bad memories rushed through him, but a single thought formed a silver lining through all of it.

If today was the worst day of his life, then tomorrow would definitely be better. Even if it was just a little bit.

Looks like Ratchet isn't exactly enjoying his new home...though I wouldn't mind my bedroom also being my kitchen.

So, looks like you guys met Delta, my new OC. Rylus is a new OC as well, but Delta is the more exciting one. Now, I'm sure you guys notice that Delta is a made-up species, an Ekoid (eck-oid), and the species is based on bats. Though I decided to add a twist and give them horns and two tails, so they're not just a plain old anthropomorphic bat person.

And, about why they're genderfluid, I have a story for this. So while I was talking about the idea for Delta, I hadn't decided on their gender, so I kept calling Delta 'they'. But I did it for so long that I thought that the 'they' pronoun fits Delta better, and I worked with that by making them genderfluid. I thought that it would add a nice unique personality to them. So that's what they ended up being, a blind and genderfluid Ekoid! And they're my beautiful baby bat (that term for them makes sense in context, I swear)!

Next time, Ratchet and Clank will get a taste of what it's like to live a day in the village and the services provided there. Stick around to see how that goes...well, I mean, you don't have to actually stay here until I update. Go home. Get some sleep. I'll come get you when I finish Chapter 4.
