--uh.

[Oh hey there Ratchet, where've you been? Stuff happened on the ship while you were gone.

...but something about the Lombax just doesn't look quite right. His fur's a bit bristled and it doesn't look like he's been sleeping very well at all. Scorch-marks cover some pretty broad sections of his armour, notably his hands. But he ignores all that and tries to address Cambot with as casual a demeanor as he can manage.

Which isn't that good.

Something's definately bugging him, other than their current predicament.]

I was gonna say something along the lines of how the heck I got tossed back and forth like this but, ah...

Could someone tell me why there's a talking dinosaur plastered all over the place?

[punsofiron]

Oh, yeah, that's Captain Salt Lake. He thinks we need to be penned up or something.

But enough about that, what happened to you?

[guardiano_perduto]

...





I've got about five seconds before I just turn my butt around and go back the way I came.

[punsofiron]

I'm afraid we can't do that, Dave. Somebody pressed some sort of reality-warp button and we got zapped here.

[guardiano_perduto]

...on second thought, I think I'd prefer the hyper-evolved deathlizards over everything else right now.

[punsofiron]

That bad, huh?

[guardiano_perduto]

You have no idea.

[punsofiron]

Wanna talk about it?

[wavesinherheart]

Ah... we hopped dimensions, I think.

[guardiano_perduto]

Someone go messin' with that time machine again?

[wavesinherheart]

Not this time.

[guardiano_perduto]

Soooo... what did happen?

[wavesinherheart]

The Mads shot something at us, so we had to move the Satellite.

[guardiano_perduto]

So I'm hearin'. Man, what I wanna know is what happened to tick 'em off that bad?

[colorbymemory]

Hello again, Ratchet.

The Mads sent something after us, so we had to move the Satellite. The dinosaurs live on the world we're closest to.

[guardiano_perduto]

What, some kind of dinosaur-launcher? Who the heck thought it was bad enough to move everything to another dimension?

[colorbymemory]

No, not that. But it could have destroyed the Satellite, so Gypsy moved us.

[guardiano_perduto]

Wow, who the heck'd you tick off?

[colorbymemory]

Joel--the person who was here before us--was trying to come help us, and the Mads didn't like it.

[guardiano_perduto]

You said there was a missile involved - whatever happened to the guy?

[optimistickey]

Oh, Ratchet! I guess the same thing happened to you that happened to Riku and I, huh?

Hey...you all right?

[guardiano_perduto]

What, gettin' knocked back home and here? That's common?

...and yeah, why wouldn't I be?

[optimistickey]

I dunno how common it is, but I know it's happened to at least a couple of us!

You just look a little...down, I guess.

[guardiano_perduto]

Yeah, well...

It was probably better if I didn't go in the first place, y'know? I found Clank again, but...

[optimistickey]

What happened?

[guardiano_perduto]

You ever have something happen, something that finally made your life feel full, just to... have it taken away in the worst way imaginable?
