[It's a peaceful, melodic sound, washing over the feed. The sound of lapping waves, the light, balmy breeze... and the distant sound of an aged man, moaning softly as the sand begins to shift.
As the view comes more into focus, a large furred husk takes up most of it, pushing himself up from the ocean's grasp to blink slowly at his surroundings.]
Where...?
[He stares for a moment longer, brow furrowing in thought, before his memories catch up with him - the Clock, the explosion...
His last words to Ratchet, and one last look at the pocketwatch he held so dear.
With a gasp, he quickly searches his own pockets, sighing in relief at the metallic feel, grateful to whatever force out there that it had still been in one piece. That, and his Praetorian Omniwrench, which laid a few feet from where he'd collapsed.
Considering this world was still in one cohesive piece, he knows that he'd successfully reverted his mistake. And... wherever he was now, this was where he was meant to be.
Except he hadn't expected death to be so... wet. The Lombax's ears droop over his shoulders, heavy with saltwater and dripping down to the sand. And that's where he spots the SFC, laying right next to his wrench. Curious at this little piece of machinery - certainly not Lombax build, that was for sure - he picks it up.
Hello, Vatheon. Meet the General.]

What do you mean setting up a base?
[Hopefully he doesn't what she thought it meant]
[Video]
[Though the General still smiles softly, shaking his head.]
No, it's nothing to be concerned about - perhaps my years in the Guard have me phrasing things differently nowadays. A 'base', simply in 'a place to duck in'. Not quite home, and not simply shelter, either.

[There was a small pause before she continued her thoughts]
Oh! How silly of me to jump to conclusions like that!
[Video]
And some time away will help me to sort those thoughts out. Is this junkyard reasonably secluded?
[Video]
Hm...I believe so? I'm afraid that I haven't looked much into it, sir.
[Video]
[Video]
Are you that...worried?
[Video]
Like I said, I need the space to think.
[Video]
[Video]
...except to Ratchet.]
I... wouldn't be against it. [His tone is just a little hesitant, struggling to remember how to communicate with people.] But the decision is ultimately up to you.
...I don't even think I got your name?
[Video]
You are, sir?
[Video]
...ah, forget it.
'General' or 'Alister' will suffice.
[Video]
It's very nice to meet you!
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
There's just something about you that's... familiar. Welcoming.
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[Even so, there was a small smile on her end]
Until then, do you need help with anything else?
[Video]
...unless I fall off a ladder and bust my hip, no. Though you're...
Welcome to visit once things are more settled. This is just an unfortunate, awkward time, I'm afraid.

[While Nunnally was still somewhat suspicious of others, that doesn't mean that she wasn't going to be kind to others. Besides, wasn't being kind to others a good thing?]
Let me know when you are!
[Video]
...
And.
Thank you.
[Video]
You're very welcome!
