"I don't recall being in such a situation," Minimus murmured as he glanced to the side. "Was this when we were inside Skip?"
The blank look (minus the deep frown) Ratchet gave him was an explanatory enough answer.
Minimus huffed and adjusted his mustache. "The time at which I recall the timeline split was above Mederi after storming the Grand Architect's ship -" The corner of Ratchet's mouth twitched - "But otherwise, we have been in different universes for the past year or so."
The fact that split timelines was not an unheard occurrence to the two Cybertronians gave them cause to groan in their mind, and it added to the credulity of Minimus' statement. Not that Ratchet was happy about it.
"Hah." It did not sound like a laugh. "So now we have another quantum duplicate issue. Anyone else who's actually alive?"
As hopeful as the possibility would be...Ratchet did not entertain the notion for long.
"He frowned at S'ree, who was at head height to him, but frowned at Papyrus. "Sure, like believing that some other force is going to save us all did any good to stop Adaptus and his pet project. Might as well sit in a circle and sing in the hopes the noise'll drive him away from destroying Clemency, too!"
Minimus' head jerked back two degrees of an angle. "Adaptus? He's behind this?"
Ratchet folded his arms. "Yeah. Destroyed the Functionists with his new tech, hijacked this planet-eater called Unicron, and you can see what happened next."
