Second Gold Bolt [Video]

[There is an agitated Lombax on the screen today. He has dust and fairy guts all over his face. He was trying to get a closer look at it when it exploded. F-in fairies man.]

So this thing followed me around, never talk to me, never did anything, and the one day explode...in my face. Really?

What was the point of these things?! I've had malfunctioning synthenoids more helpful. Can anyone answer this question for me? Why did my fairy just explode? I would really like an answer. Did me staring at it engage it's self-destruct?

...And does anyone know how to get fairy guts out of fur?

Your smouldering good looks was too much for your fairy to bear. So yes, you're a fairy murderer.

In fact, seeing you on screen just caused mine to explode.

[He gives you a very shocked look.]

...Wat?

[Not just one person...but two now. Why was this happening to him?!]

All this wet, sparkly dust all over my clothes... I expect some kind of compensation for the tragic death of my dear, dear companion. I'm not sure how I'll be able to sleep at night now, thanks to you.

...What kind of compensation?

[He's a little too broken thanks to the previous comment to use common sense just yet.]

How about a little favour? You see, I don't know you very well, so it's awfully difficult to think of decent compensation when I hardly know what you're capable of.

...So you want to know more about me?

Of course! But your introduction won't count towards paying off your favour.

My names Ratchet. I'm a Lombax. And I've saved three galaxies and the entire universe from evil several times over.

My, how impressive! But any run of the mill hero can do that. I'm thinking smaller scale; you can't really save this world, can you?

How good are you at running errands?

I've saved plenty or worlds too.

And yeah, I am. What do you want me to do?

[Poor Ioder looks a little shaken, and paler than usual, but he's forcing a smile.]

Y... yours, too... ?

Yeah...

I'm kind of used to it. Synthenoids tend to explode when they're used up. But...they never sprayed guts on me.

Th-they do... ? I'm sorry, I don't know what a Synthenoid is...

A Synthenoid is a small robot that shoots things that gets too close to the person they are protecting. When they run out of ammo or take too many hits they explode.

Only with more metal and no squishy guts.

Synthenoids?

I'm afraid I can't answer, mine appears to have exploded as well.

Synthenoids are small robots that basically shoot and destroy anything that gets close to the person they're protecting. When they're used up or take too much damage, they explode.

Only with more metal parts and less squishy guts...

Ahh, I see. It sounds like something my world would make.

Perhaps without exploding.

They explode so your enemies can't reprogram them. And to take out any enemies they're next to with them.

It still seems a bit too extreme for me but I can see the reasons why they would.

I'm impressed that you know how to reprogram certain machines though.

Well, not to blow my own horn, but we Lombaxes are known for our ingenuity. Give me some tools, scrap metal, and time and I'll make you something awesome.

Oh? What kind of things can you make outside of the synthenoids you have mentioned?

Well, I invented a nuclear powered rocket sled once. Oh! And another time I invented an anti-matter bathroom buddy and another time I invented electroshock underwear! Called them Stunderwear! They were a big hit on a planet called Umbris first but them spread everywhere.

I should remake them here.

Anti-matter bathroom buddy? Can I ask what was its purpose?

[And the eletroshock underwear...really?]

Mostly to look pretty. The anti-matter was inside a clear shell and you could see it. There were some variations on it later but...that shouldn't be talked out on a public communication.

...Or with a lady. I'd feel weird.

Oh, I-I see.

I should have known about that before I spoke.

Well...the changes weren't my idea. They were someone else's.

But who would suggest such a thing? Especially something such as...that!

...Perverts, I guess.

It's still rather unsettling...

Anyway, I must say. You are a rather creative person, a lot more than I am.

Thank you. It just comes with being a Lombax I think. We can never leave anything alone, or that's what I've been told.

You certainly do make very interesting things...

I wonder if we have any kind of metal here that could be of use.

Do you know if there is a junk yard around here?

Not that I know of but it would be interesting if there was one.

Or perhaps a store that sells them.

I'll have to look and ask around then. Someone is bound to know.

It shouldn't be too difficult...

While I do not need any, I'm on the look out to see if there is a place where I can find weapons.

Oh? What kind of weapons are you looking for?

It's nothing complicated. I'm looking for a sword or some knives, either one would be lovely.

Sword or knives huh? I'll keep an eye out. A little low tech for my tastes but I'll let you know if I see any.
