[Please, have Alpha Trion sitting at a desk, looking very distinguished while he sorts through a stack of datapads and musty-looking books.]

Hm.

It seems that I may have...misplaced...something.

No need for alarm, it's nothing pivotal this time.

[He looks around the library, managing to appear only slightly less sheepish than he feels.]

However, given the recent events, I took the liberty of checking for the Tome of Possibilities, and...ah.

It wasn't there.

[Oops.]

Has anyone noticed any missing pages floating--perhaps literally--about?

Barring that, could anyone give me a list of what has changed?

[If he couldn't get the pages back, he might at least be able to set a few things to rights. Maybe. Hopefully before there was any major damage done.]

It changes the fabric of reality to reflect a different history.

Nothing overly damaging, if corrected in time.

[Thanks, Lambda, for making all of this possible.]

Tell me, have you seen any pages lying around?

[Well, that's a relief. If it was something dangerous, there could be a problem.

But she falls strangely silent at that last part, putting her hand to her chin like a kid who doesn't want to tell their parents about the broken vase.]

Uhm...

It would be incredibly useful, if you have.

[A bit sheepishly, she pulls out a folded up piece of paper, opening it up to show her drawings.]

I...I think I found it just outside the temple.

[That...is definitely one of the pictures.]

These remind me of your other work.

You certainly think about robots a lot.

[She rubs the back of her neck a bit bashfully.]

It helps keep my mind off the rest of what I think about.

Which is?

[Don't ask these things, Alpha Trion.]

Ah, I should ask you, though...have you been experiencing any changes yourself?

Oh, you know! My friends back home! I miss them.

[She'd say her dad, but...her dads are Ratchet and Wheeljack at the moment.]

Oh uhm...well I don't really think so. There's musical notes above my head sometimes...OH! And this guitar that I think is one of my friends.

[She pulls it into her lap, showing it off to Alpha Trion.]

Say hi, Cliffjumper!

[The guitar, needless to say, does not say hi.]

He must be charging his energy like he told me.

[Choo choo all aboard the crazy train!]

[If a robot can make a o.o face, you're getting a look at it right now.]

I...see.

Are there any changes you'll be wanting to...ah...keep, then?

[It's better to stick to the simple questions.]

[Don't worry Alpha Trion. You're not alone in your thinking.]

N-No, not that I can think of. The bubbles are annoying and Cliff isn't a guitar, he's a cow.

[He'd kill her for saying that...but she's a little frantic.]

A cow, hm?

[He makes a few marks on a datapad, intending to set everything to right.]

I will also need you to bring me that page.

Woah, hey, slow down there. Don't listen to the tiny girl. She's a liar and a deceiver.

W-What?! Don't call me a-...

CLIFF?!

Ah, so you would be the guitar, then?

[Funny, you don't look like one.]

No, I'd be the Cliffjumper formally known as the guitar.

[Gosh.]

But no, really, it was just a prank that I didn't expect to last so long. Was kind of banking on short stuff here to have a little common sense. My bad.

[Oh gosh...

Well, someone feels silly.]

A prank?...

Then am I to assume that you are neither a guitar nor a cow?

[He does need to make sure to get this right.]

That would be a big 'no' for both of those, chief. Not that I'm one to complain, but I'd also like to keep it that way if it's all the same to you.

No offense to guitars or cows, of course.

[Kay twists her hair sheepishly, backing off from this conversation for a moment.]

I'm sorry, Mr. Trion... I really thought-

I...I should go.

[Click!]

[Poor Kay.]

I see...

Well, this clears that up, at least. Thank you for speaking up, Cliffjumper.

[Because that would have been difficult to explain.]
