LOMBAX A-GO-GO (a semi-SI Ratchet & Clank fic)

Ratchet grew up alone on Veldin.

He can build a spaceship out of scrap, fix just about anything with a wrench, and somehow knows almost nothing about his own people.

Rocket grew up near a Lombax enclave in Blackwater City on Rilgar. She has a foster family, a passion for flying, and a strange collection of memories from a life she can't explain.

Then she meets Ratchet.

Within a day, they've accidentally become teammates, gotten tangled up in an illicit Megacorp prank-device incident, and discovered that Ratchet and his little robot friend are carrying evidence of a plot that could threaten the galaxy.

Rocket has a vague idea of what they're walking into but no idea how to explain her inexplicable memories from a prior life.

And Ratchet? He has no idea what he's gotten himself into.

A Ratchet & Clank Semi-SI AU.

Short, punchy, chaotic, a little saucy—and containing 200% more Lombaxes than is strictly healthy for a quiet neighborhood.

Under a Fastoon Sun is a Lombax cultural facility incorporating a medley of public bathhouse customs derived from various Lombax subcultures originating on Fastoon in the Polaris Galaxy. While they primarily serve as a social bathing facility for the Lombaxes residing int he Fastoontown of Blackwater City, Fastoon Sun accepts all reasonably behaved customers who agree to follow the rules.

All customers are to leave their clothing, weapons, personal items, and weird devices in secure lockers in the changing rooms. Only bathhouse staff are permitted to wear anything past the changing rooms and even then, they are supposed to wear only their staff uniforms. Exceptions are made for robots and cyborgs within reason. Towels and toiletries are provided as part of the service, and bathing and grooming assistance is provided at no additional cost upon request. The towels are big enough to be worn around the waist if a customer is so inclined, but this is neither required nor forbidden.

The changing rooms and laveratories are gender segregated, but the actual bathing and soaking chamber is unisex.

Under a Fastoon Sun would like to remind all customers that this facility is a social bathing facility and not a bordello. Anyone caught engaging in overly intimate behavior will be turned out into the street as they are, with anything left in the changing room lockers made available for return on the following business day.
