Ratchet was usually quick to act, but he wasn't stupid.

And though he could usually see right through a villain's cockiness, he could also see the seriousness underneath and that she meant what she said. So he lowers his weapon, but doesn't seath it completely, even as she turns her attention towards the ship.

But he's still got his eye on her, especially with Clank still gone. Maybe the other just stepped away to glance at the blueprints back home - Clank rode with him all the time, but it didn't mean his buddy couldn't have any freedom of his own.

"Thanks for the part, anyway." He shrugs, trying to brush off his previous... brashness. Turning back, he hops back onto the carcass of a ship, opening the compartment where the turbo drive was to be placed. "This actually popped up here a few days ago, you know. I'm surprised it even made it out this far! Veldin doesn't usually get too many visitors."

He pauses, suddenly making the connection. How she would know where it was, the missing drive...

"Waitasec, is this your ship?"
