Does anyone know exactly how old Ratchet is in...

@spaceoutcat shout out to you because fam that is some god level knowledge shit right there! So damn, our Lombax could be anywhere from 21-32?

It’s more like he is both 21 and 32 at the same time. It’s not a range - it’s two solid numbers based on different rotations. It makes no sense but at the same time it does.

Basically: Polaris Calendar: 18 Months Earth Calendar: 12 Months

I assume that the timeline, which I linked previously but here it is again (http://ratchetandclank.wikia.com/wiki/G2.14.173), is based with the Polaris calendar in mind. For all intents and purposes, Ratchet IS 21. If you put him anywhere else, he will probably and most likely say he is 21 because he’s lived in a galaxy/collection of galaxies that run on an 18-month calendar.

If a human tested his physiology (or something sciency like that), a human would declare him to be 32. He is still 21, but based on Earth’s rotation and calendar, he would be considered 32 by anyone with a 12-month calendar. Does... that make more sense...? @zombiy (sorry I’ve never talked to people on tumblr so I don’t know how this works and if i actually need to tag you for you to see this or what)

Post Spider Encounter.

05 July 1891

Did it really take me that long to be able to write again? Was I really so affected?

Well... I should recount it all properly. A week ago today I was dead. I am not entirely certain how I managed to get back, I believe there was a lot of luck involved. Both in my having enough of a body to come back to and in playing the game. It's strange; scars remain but there are a few aches I had become accustomed to which are now gone. I do not seem to have any of the wounds I received near my death.

I am not particularly eager to study this phenomenon.

The cause? Spiders. Spider colonies are intelligent. I tried talking to it. Well, I know they have some interest in "The Correspondence" now. Why would they? Why would spiders TALK? I had just gotten to grips with what they do with people's ey

I won't write that down. I fear I might break my pen if I try to write it down now.

I hate to think of that spider colony still being there. 

I have to do something.
