While the exhaustion of the past few months of post victory work weighed heavy on her shoulders, she still did her best to smile and wave for the cameras and crowd that swirled around her and Kit. A quick sigh slipped past her lips before she remembered all the eyes that were on her. It soon disappeared down into the swirling smog that concealed the lithosphere far below. Rivet wasn’t entirely sure what was down there, but had been told that the area directly beneath them had been cleared ahead of time just in case. The crowd around them on hovering stands roared with a thunderous approval as it tumbled over the edge and plummeted into the abyss of smoke below.

She had intentionally saved this particular one for last, having walked under its gaze for far too long.

Ratchet and Rivet quickly learned that their ‘pit stop’ in the lombax dimension would have to wait while they dealt with the after effects of his rule.
