001 ☪ awakening

Oddly enough, he hadn't remembered falling asleep.

His reserves had still been at full capacity, the gentle pressing and steaming of the vents on his back pumping out waste, refreshing his systems and keeping him alert enough to trek along the exhibition. Though here he was, head bowed and eyes closed almost in meditation, metallic arm th-thumping against something dull and thick, with the other following.

Except that one wasn't metallic. And he felt something that was not native to Torren IV, or anything he could remember. The hand moves with urgency, patting the walls, pushing, nudging breaking.

Breaking? Yes. Yes, it was breaking. It just needed some more weight. More force, more energy, and--

CRACKLE!

He was out.

The metallic skeleton in his legs makes the weight reverberate a little more in the dreary, hollow room, echoing through its endless walls, but... he's out. His good ear flattens against his head, breath catching in his throat as he realizes - this is not Torren. This is not home. He might have just taken a step back, to the remains of where he had been--

A prison. Sarcophagus, by the looks of it, and what he remembered from Vullard lore about the technology of olden days. Devices used to kidnap and torture others, and he had just been someone's victim.

Who? Why? What planet was this, and why was he alone? Where were the Vullards?

Where was anything?

"You're in a castle. Not sure what it's called, or what the planet is, or even what galaxy we're in. You were brought here by the fountain. That's about all we know. We're trapped here." Ratchet kept his description short and to the point. He didn't want to overwhelm the other Lombax but he deserved to know everything. They were lost and trapped here.

Ratchet stared up at the once General and for a moment he saw him. That determination in his eyes, that drive, that fearless gaze. The younger lombax could only stare up at the reconstructed elder in awe, much like the first time they met after all the explosions. He really was still him deep down; this was Alister Azimuth. Ratchet gave a not and mimicked the gesture.

"We'll do it together."
