Ratchet and Kim Possible Chronicles: Anti-Corporation-Part 10
On their way to Markazia, Talwyn contacted them. Talwyn: “Guys.” Ratchet: “Hey, Tal, what’s the sitch?” Talwyn: “I was able to sift through few of the data. There’s still lots more to go, so we’re no where near finished.” Kim: “Yeah, we figured as much.” Talwyn: “But I do know this: there’s lots to deal with; perhaps far too much for you guys to handle, so, I’m going to call out to some of our friends to help you out with this.” Kim: “That would be greatly appreciative, Talwyn.” Talwyn: “I, of course, will also be pitching in, so don’t think that you’ll be leaving me out of this.” Kim: “We wouldn’t have it any other way, Talwyn.” Talwyn: “I’ll remain here for the time being and sift through the data with Wade.” Kim: “Alright, we’ll see you out there soon.” Talwyn: “Gook luck, you guys and please hurry.”
The screen shut off. Ratchet: “OK, double time, guys. Let’s go.”
They continued flying off at great speed.
They kept flying until they arrived at the planet Markazia. They then landed within a massive, wide open area and got out of the ship. Immediately afterwards, the Kimmunicator went off. Kim answered it. Kim: “Yeah, Wade?” Wade: “Guys, I’ve managed to figure out a few things when Talwyn and I have been sifting through the data; it involves the planet’s natural acid that’s being distributed. From how much work that needs to be done and how much that’s already done, I was able to calculate how much time it will take to finish it up. If my calculations are correct, which I have checked and rechecked multiple times, you guys have 15 minutes to find and shut down that factory, otherwise nothing will be safe once that planet-wide acid rain kicks in.” Kim: “Then we don’t have any time to lose.” Ratchet: “Yes, every second counts.” Wade: “I’ll send the info-bot to you guys.”
Wade’s vendor reappeared, transporting from it was the info-bot. She leapt out and attached herself to Kim’s back. Wade: “Now get going!”
From there, they rushed out as fast as they could.
They hurried through the area as fast as they could. They knew that they had a lot of ground to tear through and not a lot of time to get through it. Their robot companions helped them out a lot, which was incredibly effective with getting them through much of the area within a small amount of time. However, the fight through was anything but easy, as to be expected. Along the way, they ran into numerous creatures coming at them continuously. They made strides to fight through the massive hoard. This slowed things from them. Ratchet: “Dang! What’s with all of these creatures!?! Do they even know that we’re trying to save this planet!?!” Kim: “Ratchet! Look!”
They looked over and noticed the creatures crawling out of the acid lakes nearby. Ratchet: “Whoa! Those creatures can actually live in the acid?” Clank: “Apparently, they can. I am also able to ascertain that they can also survive the acid rain that we need to prevent.” Ratchet: “Great, so they don’t need to be afraid of what’s to come.”
Regardless of what they found out, they continued through. With each step that they’ve been taking, they knew that time was slipping away from them bit by bit. They were really fighting as hard as they could to make their way through.
It took them a lot of time, but they were finally able to reach the factory. Kim: “Look! There’s the factory!” Ratchet: “Come on! We already lost a lot of time trying to reach this place!”
They ran into the fast without hesitating. As they made their way in, they came across a lot of robots that were in their way. Kim: “You’ve got to be kidding me!!! We really don’t have any time for this!!!” Ratchet: “Guess we have no other choice. We’ll have to fight through them!”
And with that, they rushed out to fight the robots. There were indeed a lot of them. They group fought through them much harder than before as they were really short on time. Soon enough, the Kimmunicator went off. Kim answered it. Kim: “Yeah, Wade?” Wade: “Kim! Ratchet! Clank! I need you to head for the facility’s main computer room.” Ratchet: “And where exactly is that!??!” Wade: “It’s at the far end of the factory; just keep going down that hallway and you’ll be there before you know it!” Ratchet: “Being there before it’s too late would make me really happy!” Wade: “Don’t worry, it’s not improbable, you would need to hurry through the place, though.” Ratchet: “Easier said than done!!” Kim: “Hm…not if I try something.”
And with that, Kim leapt up, then did a handstand on one of the robots, then flipped off of it. She jumped from one robot to another in spectacular, athletic fashions. Ratchet looked over and watched as Kim carried out these feats. He seemed very mesmerized by this. Ratchet: “Wow…! She is just…incredible…!! Amazing…!” Clank: “Um…Ratchet?” Ratchet: “What is it, pal?” Clank: “We should be following after her?” Ratchet: “Huh? Oh! Right! Um! We’re…coming, Kimberly!!”
He followed after her as he attempted to mimic the same kind of stunts that she had been doing.
Eventually, they arrived at the main computer room. Kim switched on the Kimmunicator. Kim: “Alright, Wade, we’re in, now what?” Wade: “Just leave the rest to me.”
At that moment, the info-bot detached herself from Kim’s back and went over to a massive monitor within the room. There, she attempted to scan the monitor. Kim, Ratchet and Clank stood by and watched as this was taking place. Wade: “Oh, no!” Ratchet: “What’s wrong, Wade?” Wade: “The computer’s mainframe is being blocked by highly advanced security program! I can’t penetrate it through the info-bot!”
Clank walked up to the monitor. Clank: “Perhaps I can be of assistance.”
He went on to hacking the computer. Kim: “Please hurry, Clank! We’re not going to survive here if we don’t shut down this factory!”
It was a tense moment. Ratchet, Kim and the info-bot stood by and watched as Clank frantically hacked the computer. It was really down to the wire as there was barely any time left. Each second was indeed nerve-wracking with no way of knowing if he would make it in time. Soon enough, they caught a break. Clank: “We are in.” Ratchet: “Thank goodness!” Kim: “Go for it, Wade!”
From there, Wade penetrated the computer with the use of this info-bot. Kim, Ratchet and Clank stood by for a brief moment as they watched this take place, waiting and hoping that they were able to make it in time. Wade: “Alright, that did it. I was able to access the factory’s main control and shut down the distribution of the planet’s natural acid. The threat to the entire planet has been halted, permanently.”
The group let out a sigh of relief. Kim: “How much time did we have left?” Wade: “We were down to less than a minute. Almost immediately afterwards, the entire facility would have been flooded with that deadly liquid.” Ratchet: “We barely made it.” Kim: “I know; that was too close.” Wade: “Now to dispose of this facility the right way.” Kim: “Sure thing, but first, let’s get out of here.” Ratchet: “Yeah, let’s go.”
And so, they ran out.
They made their way out of the factory and ran from it. As they got to a far enough distance, they stopped to look back at it. Ratchet: “Alright, we’re clear.” Kim: “Now’s your chance, Wade! Do whatever you can to bring it down.”
At that moment, acid began to secrete directly below the factory. From that, the entire building caved in on itself and collapsed completely. Kim: “Well…that’s that.” Ratchet: “Come on, let’s get back to Aphelion.”
They made their way back to their ship without hesitation.
After they made their way back, they had the info-bot sent back to Wade before they got back into their ship. They were about to take off. Just then, Talwyn appeared on the screen. Talwyn: “Guys. You did it. You saved the entire planet. Thank you, both of you. And you, too, Clank.” Kim: “Don’t thank us just yet, Talwyn; this is far from over.” Talwyn: “No, I really needed to thank you guys; this means a lot to me, more than you realize.” Kim: “Um…OK, don’t know why, but…you’re welcome, I guess…”
As the screen shut off, Kim and Ratchet exchanged confused looks with each other. Ratchet: “Let’s…just make our way off this planet.”
They took off and made their way to the planet’s skies.

⚠️ Fandom is Moving Forward with Generative AI ⚠️
Tumblr media
As of December 15, Fandom has announced their plans to continue using AI to "enhance" their articles.
In short, they claim to have primarily used AI to
Scan images for "appropriateness" (be that NSFW content or just fitting in with the theme of the show), which still involves scraping tons of images and comparing them to a potentially unethically sourced database. As with all machine learning using images, it is still wildly inaccurate.
Optimizing edits - something they admit is still severely lacking because it can't read tables or variants on simple things like "birthday"
Optimizing SEO - this is clearly what they care most about, since Google likes the "Quick Answers" - as shitty as they were - this means they can continue to dominate the search results and gain more ad revenue.
This is a good time to remember that Fandom is a for-profit company with inverstors, which means their end goal is always to make the most money possible. They don't care about "The Fans" (despite the lip service), and they don't care about the authenticity of user-generated content if they can figure out how to automate the process.
STOP USING FANDOM.
Alternatives/Workarounds:
Indie Wiki Buddy is an extension that will redirect you to non-Fandom versions of wikis if it's in their database.
BreezeWiki displays all Fandom wikis in a clean, ad-free format with just the article content (no links to their forums, autoplay videos, etc)
If you must use Fandom, install UBlock Origin. It's available on all desktop browsers and Firefox Mobile. Hit them where it hurts. And encourage the wiki teams to leave Fandom if they can.
Also, be sure to support independent wikis! You can disable adblockers while on their sites, as they usually have much less obtrusive ads which directly fund server maintenance rather than CEO salaries. Change links on your posts/pages to direct to non-Fandom Wikis (even wiki.gg is better).
Keep information free from corporatization.

A new Dawn Brings New Opportunity
Just another day, just work. Find the fun, it is there somewhere. Life working at the bottom of the pyramid.
Sitting at the bottom of the stairs drinking the day’s first brew waiting for the time to tick around. It is nearly 05:30 or 5:30am in the old parlance. It is time for a new day. My first workday of the week, after a three-day weekend. Although I work five days a week, I only get one-in-four Saturdays off accompanied by the following Monday.  The car is already taking a second or two longer to…

This new fucking property management
I'm fucking glad I'm moving.
Their first move when taking over was to padlock this awesome back gate door that leads to the main shopping and public transit area. Oh, and the fucking high school. But fuck high schoolers, amiright?
When someone repeatedly cut their bolts, they fucking WELDED it shut.
So....... naturally, someone, presumably a fucking resident, cut a hole in the fucking fence.
So NOOOWWWWW, management is apparently putting some kind of panels along the chainlink?? Gaaaawwwwwddddd I'm fucking glad I'm leaving.
They're a fucking corporation from out of state. They're fucking out of touch and clueless. We tried raising a stink about the gate, but they wouldn't fucking hear it. I'm assuming most of the residents using the fence either have vehicles or are teens whose parents told them to suck it up. Or just fucking left.
Fucking hostile bullshit.
I'm assuming this out of touch corporation is assuming transients are destroying their stupid fucking fence. But fucking why?? Once they go out through the front gate with the fucking electronic bullshit, they can't come back, unless they're a fucking resident.
Fucking.........
Fucking ridiculous. Incredible. Fucking fences, fences, fences. Property values go down, but hey, the prices go up. After all, it's resident s e c c u u u u u r r r i i i i t t t t t t t t y y y y y y. Gag.
Without that fence, this property become hostile to people without vehicles. Hell, I'd argue that it's hostile to people with cars who have to drive halfway around the fucking block to get to places across the fucking street.

Ratchet and Kim Possible Chronicles: Anti-Corporation-Part 6
They made the hard trek back to Aphelion. Along the way, the Kimmunicator went off. Kim answered it. Kim: “Hey, Wade, what’s the sitch?” Wade: “Guys, I looked into the records regarding the Sargassium and I just found out that a large shipment of this chemical had been sent to Stratus City. You guys still remember that place, right?” Ratchet: “Stratus City? Of course! We haven’t been there since we first arrived in Polaris.” Kim: “We should head over there and investigate that shipment.” Ratchet: “Yeah, I agree. Let’s go.”
They made their way back towards Aphelion, got in after Kim had the info-bot transported back to Wade, then they took off and left the planet.
After another long flight, they arrived at the planet Kortog. Upon entering the planet’s atmosphere, they made their way to Stratus City. They found a place to land and got out of the ship. Kim switched on the Kimmunicator. Kim: “Wade, are you able to pick up on the Sargassium shipment?” Wade: “I’m picking up on massive Sargassium readings somewhere deep within the city.” Ratchet: “Point us in the right direction and we’ll head over there now.” Wade: “I’ve located the source. Make your way towards this direction.” Kim: “Got it. Let’s go.”
They got their robots placed on their backs and then headed out.
They hurried through the city as fast as they could. Along the way, they had a chance to look around the city. The streets and traffic seemed as busy as the last time they were there. However, there were some things that were different, which made them very happy. Kim: “You know, this city is as busy as it’s always been, but…it seems somewhat different after we defeated Tachyon and overthrown his empire.” Ratchet: “Yeah, this place seems so much better, almost as though everything here became much happier.” Kim: “And much less annoying without all of those jumbo screens displaying him reciting all of those terrible speeches. I swear, having to listen to those speeches infuriated me so much that I just had to rip out those screens and smash them.” Ratchet: “Can’t say I blame you for feeling that way and I did enjoy seeing you rip out all of those screens. Too bad it also got you into trouble with the empire.” Kim: “I really didn’t care; it was so worth it. The only thing that would have made me feel even better was if I were to toss them back at that evil twerp and shoved all of those horrible words back down his throat.” Ratchet: “Yeah, I would have liked you to do that, too.” Kim: “Well, it’s good to see all of Polaris completely liberated from that evil Cragmite brat’s rule.” Ratchet: “Oh, I feel the same way, Kimberly. Let’s free this galaxy from this other horrible epidemic.” Kim: “Oh, I’m so there.”
They made their way through the city. Despite it being freed from Tachyon’s rule, it was still not completely peaceful. There were still robots that cam at them they were not very friendly. Kim: “Whoa! What the…?” Ratchet: “Hey! What’s with all of these robots?” Kim: “I don’t know! I thought that they would stop attacking us here!” Clank: “Hm…they appear to be very similar to those that were used by the Cragmite Empire, however…there seems to be something very strange about them.” Ratchet: “What do you mean by that, Clank?” Clank: “I am picking up on some unusual modifications that were brought on to these models. They are very much the ones issued out by Tachyon, but not quite.��� Kim: “Could those modifications have been done by Hench Co.?” Ratchet: “That is a possibility; I would not put that past them. Let’s try to find out what we can, Kimberly.” Kim: “OK.”
They kept going. More robots came at them, but they fought through. As they made their way further into the city, they were bombarded by more and more robots. The battle was really on. Ratchet: “Whoa! Where did all of these robots come from!?!” Kim: “Something tells me we’re getting closer to our intended destination.” Clank: “Ratchet! Miss Possible! I am picking up on signals coming from these robots. They are coming from a landing dock several miles away.” Ratchet: “Any chance that could be where the Sargassium shipment is?” Kim: “I wouldn’t doubt it one bit.” Clank: “Hm…I do detect small traces of Sargassium within that same vicinity, however…there is something…unusual about them.” Ratchet: “What is it, pal?” Clank: “I am…uncertain…” Kim: “Guess we’ll need to head over there to find out.” Ratchet: “Alright, let’s keep going.”
They continued their way through the city until they arrived at a large hanger bay. From there, they immediately noticed some large barrels. Kim: “There! That must be the shipment of Sargassium.” Ratchet: “Let’s take a closer look, you guys.”
They went over towards the hanger bay. As soon as they arrived, they were immediately ambushed by many robots. Ratchet: “Oh, man…!” Kim: “Of course, it’s never this easy.”
From there, they fought off the robot. It was a long and enduring battle that seemed to have gone on for a real long time. With each robot that they brought down, more of them came. Kim: “It’s no use! They just keep coming!” Ratchet: “There has to be some way to stop these robots from respawning!” Clank: “Hm…I think I may have a way. I just need to have myself and the info-bot emit a jamming array to shut down the machine that is respawning them.” Ratchet: “Well, what are you waiting for, pal!?! Get started already!” Clank: “We are on it.”
Clank and the info-bot switched on their jamming array and from there, the machine that respawned the robots shut off, thereby stopping the robots from coming at them. Soon enough, all was quiet. Kim: “Phew, thought that would never end.” Ratchet: “Let’s get to taking a closer look at this shipment.” Kim: “Of course.”
They made their way to the shipment and had a chance to look around. It didn’t take long for one of them to notice something. Clank: “Hm…most peculiar.” Ratchet: “What is it, Clank?” Clank: “The amount of Sargassium that is present here does not match the records of how much was shipped here.” Kim: “Hm…you seemed to be right about that, Clank. There are much less barrels here than what Wade had received from that shipment report.” Ratchet: “So, where could the rest of the shipment have gone?”
Kim thought for a moment. Just then, the Kimmunicator went off. Kim answered it. Wade: “Guys, I’m picking up on some new data regarding the Sargassium. Apparently, some of the shipment have already been sent out from your current location.” Clank: “But where could they have gone?” Wade: “I’m not sure about that, Clank, the data is inconclusive.” Ratchet: “Well, keep at it, Wade, we need to find out where that chemical is being shipped.” Wade: “I’m on it. In the meantime, we’ll need you guys to head over to the Planet Terachnos next.” Kim: “Why? What for?” Wade: “The Terachnoids have been working on data collecting data regarding Hench Co.” Kim: “Oh, great, what is it this time?” Ratchet: “Guess we should head over there to find out.”
They made their way back to Aphelion. Kim: “I really hope Pollyx isn’t up to his old tricks again.” Ratchet: “Heh, he’d better not be trying something when we get there.”
They got back to Aphelion, took take of what they needed to have done before they got back in. They then took off and left the planet.
