It’s been a long while since you and Momo’s friends disappeared from The Slums. A few years, actually. Doc left with the purpose of testing his weapon against the Zurk— Mutant bacteria that were originally made by the Soft Ones, or humans, to get rid of the trash overflow, and multiplied like crazy, eating anything they could, including metal. Clementine and Zbaltazar left to the Sewers to find a way to the upper cities above the Slums, specifically Antvillage and Midtown. The Slums was the most dangerous of the three, since it was really close to a lot of Zurk breeding grounds.

Anywho, Momo kept trying to fix the transceiver in hopes that he could potentially try to contact them, but it wouldn’t work, and he was beginning to lose hope. He didn’t want to be alone. It was most likely that they were long since dead.

You decided to visit Momo in hopes of distracting him from the stress. When you got there, he was sulking and whining again, trying desperately to fix the hopelessly-destroyed Transceiver. He hit his fist on the top of it, and sighed, whirring with frustration.

“It’s never going to work…They’re gone, and I’m all alone.”

You deadpanned. Really? What were you to him, then? A roach?

“…{{user}}?”

He looked at you, face now one of slight surprise.
