| See! What have we told you!? He doesn't believe in you. He knows you are nothing but a useless excuse of life that should have been taken by the meteors!, the benefactors roared, driving all of the thoughts out of Hamish's head. The overwhelming noise drove Hamish to his knees, clutching his hands to his ears in order to try to drown out the sound, but nothing would work. The bombarded him with insult after insult, trying their hardest to get him to kill Ratchet and take what he needed. They wanted him to go back to his lab, lock himself away, and build for them. The pain of their combined voices brought tears to his face as he fought to flood, but behind those tears held fierce determination. Some part of Hamish's psyche held on to the fact that he was doing something good. Hamish was clinging to that part with all of his mental strength. | |

| Without thought, his hand was already on his pistol, his thumb flicking open the drop latch securing the colt to the holster. Backing away as slow as possible, ratchet maneuvered himself between some of the shelving units, in an attempt to create a sort of barricade. His eyes narrowed as he steeled his nerves in case he needed to kill this weeping man in front of him. | |

| Hamish didn't even register any movement because the pain in his mind was paralyzing him. He didn't want to be let the benefactors control him this time. He told Ratchet that he would help him; gave his word that he would help him. Suddenly, a flashback of a man, clad only in a simply shirt and a pair of pants, ran through his mind. The man, faceless, muttered, "All a man has is his word." The short sentenced shattered through Hamish, giving him just enough power to shatter through the hold of the Benefactors. He knew his reprieve was only going to be brief. He had to think of someway to get away from the benefactors. He just wanted to escape. The want to get out of his own mind had not been a new thought, but never had he felt it so hard right now. He kept on repeating get me out over and over again until a bright light flashed through his mind. On the outside, his body slumped down; a steady breath coming from his body, but, otherwise, immobile. | |

| Ratchet stayed still as Hamish collapsed to the ground in a heap, wait for movement and hoping for none. After a few minutes passed, Ratchet took his hand away from his colt and he approached the body. He was still visibly breathing, but Ratchet leaned down, removed a glove, and checked for a pulse. It did not take long to find, the pulse was slightly weak but still very consistent. Letting out a sigh as he pulled his glove back on, Ratchet contemplated the different options. He could leave the man here, but that would get problematic if he continued to have these episodes. Or he could kill him, and be rid of him forever, but Ratchet still had some sense of morals, and coldblooded murder still went against his being. Well, he was leaving so can start with that. Getting on his knees, Ratchet worked his arms in with Hamish's and flipped him onto his back fireman style. Shifting again, he started to head down the hallway that connected to his "garage." | |

| The first thing Hamish saw was the bright light again. It slowly dimmed away until he was left looking at the light of the sun, but it didn't look like anything he had ever seen. It held a slight greenish hue. In fact, everything held a weird green hue, and there were numbers dancing across his vision. In his mind, he felt a strong presence wrap around him, cocooning him in protection that the benefactors could not breach. Finally, he looked down and saw the metal body of Goliath. The surging panic that started to grow was quelled by the protective force that Hamish finally recognized as Goliath. The consciousness that had formed with the experiments wasn't complex enough to form thoughts, but emotions swam through Hamish. Taking the time to gather the rest of his bearings, it was obvious that Hamish had traveled through the mental link he shared with his construct and entered Goliath's "mind". | |

| Ratchet shuffled down the hallway, his movement made awkward by having to carry Hamish on his back. The man wasn't heavy, in fact he was much lighter than Ratchet expected, but carrying an unconscious man is a difficult task regardless of weight. This continued on for several more minutes as Ratchet progressed down the path that lead to his 'garage.' He left the corridor into daylight, or this gloom that pasted for it these days, and proceeded toward the entrance past the walker. Standing there, like a hound waiting for its master, was Goliath. Setting Hamish down near the large construct Ratchet spoke without expecting a response. "You'll look after him, Right?" | |

| Hamish/Goliath looked at Ratchet and then at Hamish's body, It was a very surreal experience to be looking at your own body and know that it wasn't a reflection, but actually you. It was something that equally fascinated and disturbed him. He looked up at Ratchet and simply nodded Goliath's head before reaching down to gently pick up his body. Turning around, he began his journey back to his lab back in the scarp yard. He had weapons to build, as he was still going to hold his end of the bargain, but he also had something more to do. What had happened between him and Goliath was something that had never happened in the world, or even he would have heard about. It was time to start a new round of experiments. | |

| Ratchet looked at the obvious display of understanding from the construct. It clearly recognized whose body it was, and reacted with a kindness that he had not expected, especially from one of Hamish's projects. It truly was something that changed how he looked at the man, and at his creations. It also gave him a hope, a lightness to his heart. He wasn't sure what for, but was there. Giving one last nod to the departing construct, Ratchet headed back into his shop, the long day coming to an end. | |
