You can plot and conspire and scheme as much as you like, but there are some things that are simply beyond your control. There are things you will never accomplish, simply because you will never have the opportunity to. Where you are, when you are, who you are... these are things you simply cannot mediate yourself.

"Well THAT hadn't happened before," Ratchet scoffed in minor irritation, then frowned in puzzlement before turning to Clank, "That hadn't happened before, right?"
Punching in the security code, Clank started to form a response about how limited organic memories were before remembering for himself that Ratchet had slept the way to Orxon, making the joke distasteful. Instead, he completed the sequence and turned to the Lombax, his expression neutral, "No, it had n
