After safely traversing the distance of the Hypertube and settling down on the opposing end for a moment of rest for the group, Ramattra had taken the time with Sandaphlon to help reassemble the interior of the Stagecoach. Seeing as how, other than the two new guests, they were the most technologically intelligent, it only made sense for him to help clean up the clutter from within. Perhaps he and Edward could have taken the time earlier to quickly secure and fashion the interior for transport. Everyone else held to their assigned tasks, which left Ramattra with a lot of upkeep work for the stagecoach. 

Along with that, he held onto equipment he wished to inquire about with Eve in their passing moment. The Omnic would excuse himself from assisting the Archangel with cleaning up to approach the cyborg woman and ask about the coming area. “So, I’m unsure about a lot of the landmarks in the Highlands. Would there be someone who could help me install a part into my frame ahead, on the opposite side of the Spire where we are headed?”

He produced the exospine for Eve to see and even allowed her to see the back of his metallic chassis for reference to its installation. There seemed to be more than enough room for the hardware to be installed against, but whether the technology was fully compatible or not was also what the Omnic was concerned about. “The equipment would go here and would require access into my chassis… but do you think it would be possible?” Once he had his answer, the Omnic was content and thanked Eve for her time before pocketing his equipment again and looking for more tasks to do while they were parked. 

Which was until Tenna approached the poor Omnic he believed he had befriended, and hugged him from the side. Having seen a wide variety of oddities now in this world, the TV man’s silly nature had slowly dulled Ramattra’s temper toward the wild card. It seemed that the only one who still had work left on building the fusion machine was. “Ah. Tenna. Would you mind coming with me? You seem horribly… preoccupied,” Which had been the Omnic’s way of challenging the CRT’s competence on such an important journey. Tenna joined without much convincing and followed behind as Ramattra led them towards where the fusion machine was being arranged.

After Edward had assembled and tinkered with the fusion machine according to the blueprints, he created two beasts and left the assembly of the rest to Ramattra and Tenna. Ramattra was unsure whether Edward had fully explored the machine's full capabilities or if assembly had worn him out, but the task was simple enough once The Omnic got a handle on the controls.

“So… It appears we can swap out various parts, add unique ones, etcetera…” Ramattra wasn’t super comfortable going in-depth, explaining how the machine worked, especially given he didn’t fully expect Tenna to listen, but the[url=https://imgur.com/pOFEwxh] console screen[/url] made it somewhat self-explanatory at the very least. “And we have collected plenty of samples on our trek…” 

Tenna scratched his smooth head for a moment. “If we were using those reindeer monster-guys to pull us along before, why not use their samples as a blueprint!” He was annoyingly optimistic in Ramattra’s opinion, but Tenna’s idea was pretty good, quick-thinking, and earned him some merit. Plus, the donation of more samples from Geralt meant Ramattra had quite a playground to work with. 

Selecting out various parts from the creatures they’ve surveyed so far on the Midnight Walk, Ramattra opted to keep the fusion creatures as simple as possible, to avoid making a mess of a creature, which, with a bit of playing around, he found was very possible. Inserting samples of the Reindrix, Shieldon, and Somnacanth, they had come across. Although they had collected quite a hoard of bio-material to work with, the Omnic thought it best only to replace what of the steeds they had lost. Along with that, Ramattra thought that the marsh was an example of what damage the terrain was capable of. The Omnic thought it would be smart to create a beast capable of traversing through shallow water. 

Though another thought that crossed Ramattra’s mind was capturing the monsters, he knew some of his party members used capture devices for the original Reindrix and small companion beasts, but was worried about the nature of the simulated monsters. Before creating any creatures, Ramattra would make use of the Armory, taking two of the rope coils from its storage if the beasts were hostile. 

Following the machine's instructions, Ramattra would finally begin simulating a new team of creatures to pull the Stagecoach throughout the rest of the Midnight Walk. 

[hider=FUSIONS]

6x ShielDrix - A beast nearly identical in appearance to a Reindrix; however, its head and short neck now seem to share the hardened shell of Shieldon. The Impossible Creature is notably weak when it is unshielded and has heightened aggression, which it inherits from its unfused counterpart, Shieldon.

SomnaDrix - A large semi-aquatic beast that seemingly lost a lot of its abilities in fusion. The beast shares the large fins and torso of Somnacanth, but has the head and neck of Reindrix to nullify its sleeping powder ability and aggressive nature. [/hider]

With the beasts generated and ready for deployment on the Stagecoach, Tenna waited nearby with the Rope Coils, tying those of the fusion beasts he could until a permanent solution for them could be met. He split into Tennalings and apprehended as many new lifeforms as he could.

While Tenna cleaned up the end of Ramattra’s experiment, the Omnic had hoped one of his team members had capturing devices at the ready, or a way to tame the beasts to be more docile. 

The Omnic also took note of Roxas’ Rotom, and how its previous form was some form of Encyclopedia for monsters. He wanted to investigate the device before he knew it was a lifeform that was now transformed; however, that brought a new curiosity to Ramattra’s mind. Were there any other encyclopedia-type devices that may share insights into other worlds like that Pokedex?... Could they perhaps expand it to other worlds? He hummed at the notion, [i]That will have to be something to discuss with Sandaphlon later… Hmm…[/i] he thought, before returning to the group with the bound, albeit somewhat aggressive ShielDrixes, ready to be coaxed into pulling the Stagecoach, along with the aloof Somnadrix, that looked entirely landbound with its waterlegs.
