Of course, you can't help wondering what the heck is going on here, or how you even got on the boat, but the vessel seems to be approaching a harbor with what appears to be.. are those floating islands? They sure are! And as if that isn't mind boggling enough, no one seems to have answers. But you are greeted by some lovely locals who offer you a map and a communications device and send you on your way. Perhaps the questions can wait for now. There's a new place to explore!

Ratchet's eyebrow rose. "That, actually. I can make everything if I had the materials and the technology level to support it. And I could shift, but I need someone else who I can teach to help with the hookups."

[samsluck]

Sam blinked. "Really?" And as he thought about it, things fell into place in his head, hurting, but clear. "I--- I know how to work that. I could work the hookups and alignment and even tune it, but I'm not sure I could make even the components here."

Then he paused. "But, you...can shift? If you can, I could..." And he clutched his head, whimpering. "Okay, maybe time to stop thinking about this for awhile." He panted a little. "Sometimes things come easy, like the language, and reading it, but some things... I guess maybe if they are too complex? They hurt, a lot." Like his brain wasn't designed to handle it.

He shook his head. "I thought, after the third conflict, that I had managed to dodge any more complications, but when things went completely batshit again, and I was watching it all on television, unable to get there, I felt like my head was going to explode. And I started having nightmares, and headaches. And every machine seemed simple to me, to fix, build, improve."

He shook his head.

"I don't know anything after Chicago, Sam." Ratchet said quietly after he had rambled and came to a stop. "I know only of what I actually lived through, and I don't think I've done that yet."

[samsluck]

Sam stared at him then closed his eyes and turned away, stepping a few steps away. He fought his emotions, his memories of Ratchet being dead, and he took a long breath, then he turned back.

"Good. Don't. It sucked. Stay here, wherever here is." He spoke fiercely, feeling like he was floating, like he was riding a wave of... too many different emotions to name.

he gritted his teeth and nodded. "Never go back. Humanity will only disappoint you."

[hummerdoc]

"On a whole, they haven't. But being here instead of there? At least I have the belief that those who've died can come here. You know the last place I was at Jazz was there."

A pause.

"Yes. I can shift to answer an earlier question. It's exhausting, but I am whole again. My Spark's in a display case, but I haven't checked to see if it transfers. I should test that sometime."

[samsluck]

Sam raised his eyebrows. Then maybe there were chances, ways and hopes past the end.

He shook his head, then smiled. "I'd love to help, if I can. And if you can change... that's cool, really cool. I'm glad, Ratchet." He smiled warmly. That was about the best news he knew, yet.

"How many worlds like this are there, out there?"

[hummerdoc]

"The worlds the people are from, or the location? For the second part, three that I know of. This place, the place I was before, and another place a patient told me about."

Ratchet grinned. "You missed the fun. It was bunnies. Four feet tall, and venomous and with a taste for human flesh. I got a lot of humans to safety or elsewhere. Squished a fair number of the creatures. They were harming humans, so it didn't break the code."

[samsluck]

"Bunnies? Really? Like Monty Python but on steroids, it sounds like." Wow.

Sam was glad he'd missed that.

"No, yeah, you did right. People and things that attack without reason and wont stop, well... " He remembered killing a Decepticon, after pleading with them to stop, and his stomach lurched. He remembered killing a human, after he tried to doom the human race, and he almost threw up. Death and more death.

He swallowed and nodded. "You have to defend those who can't defend themselves."

[hummerdoc]

"Of course. I've done that for longer than you've been alive, Sam." Ratchet sighed.

"Of course, then I was yelled at by one of my fellow doctors and one of my nurses for daring to show my face at the clinic. They threatened to tie me down to my bed."

[samsluck]

Sam nodded. "Yeah. Sorry."

Then he laughed. "Why? I mean.... were you hurt?" Sam's eyes flicked across the man, as if to find the wound. Sure, this was weird, but still... Ratchet was a part of his world.
