The novice time-traveler was having to do a lot of calculations outside the safety of her lab today. As amusing as it was to see Ratchet grapple with the implications of Botanica's admissions, he did still bring up a few concerns that she would do well to address. In the meantime however, she popped the old powerless relic back into her chest; no reason to have it oxidize any further. "When I say that there 'will' come a time, I am of course speaking relatively. Time is relative, after all; there's no one direction that it flows in."
Botanica twirled around gently in the air, something she usually did out of habit as her mind buzzed with possibilities. "Time flows in trillions of directions! But it's much easier to call each direction a branch. I may be from the branch where Rodimus becomes a Prime, but who's to say that this branch we're standing on is similar or not? As far as continuum is concerned, the branch that I hail from is still distinct from your particular branch of time. Even if Rodimus does not become a Prime here, I won't suddenly cease to exist. But... if he does... ooohhh...."
A very nice thought popped into her head. "Two Botanicas...." It was certainly interesting to think about, but it wasn't enough to deter her in her quest to return home to her own time.

No one direction that time should flow in.. Then that meant that they should be able to control what does and does not happen, right? Nope. No Rodimus Prime. That boy was so not becoming a Prime if Ratchet had anything to say about it. If he matured? Maybe. But for now, oh heck no. Even the thought of current Rodimus being a Prime was on par with the threat level of 'Unicron appearing' in the CMO's processor.
"It's times like this that I'm glad that I'm a medic and not a specialist on the space time continuum.. Far too complicated and too many variables, but I can't say there isn't proof to any of it if you are here I suppose.. Regardless, I don't think we can have any intentional affects on the flow of time, but that doesn't mean that we can't attempt to change things that we know about. Well.. not that we should know about them to begin with. Even if your being here wouldn't necessarily affect things for you, who knows what it could do to us. I don't think we need an additional faction to this war."
Ratchet couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
However, he did get the feeling that Botanica was messing with him a little bit, especially with the teasing of two of her. It was one of those things that he knew that if he didn't react, then maybe she'd drop it. It didn't actually stop him from reacting though.. "I don't know if we could really handle two of anybody. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are a pain enough as it is, and that's probably the closest we are going to get to two of any one bot."

Botanica was mesmerized as Ratchet spoke, as any youngster would be when their elders tell a story. Ratchet's wasn't that much of a story however, although the mech did have an amazing voice for speech. Seriously. She didn't doubt that he had the pipes of a singer, or a movie star. Anyway. He wasn't too off with his conceptualizations of time, and was dead on the money about Botanica being an unknown variable added to an already delicate war. She tilted her head to the side at his last comment, her expression quizzical.
"A faction? Me, by myself?" She asked. "I can see your point though."
She felt a vocal reassurance would help to best alleviate some of his fears. "I'm certainly no soldier, so I feel that my largest contribution to the war will simply be that of the observer. Perhaps a tourist, too..."
"I've been both the tourist and the tour guide, these past few weeks, actually."
Ratchet's comment prompted Botanica to double-check her facts, and then with a slip of the tongue, she asked, "What about Nemesis Prime?"

Ratchet could tell stories if he really wanted to, but if you really wanted to have a storyteller the best mech to go to for that sort of thing was Kup. The mech could make just about any tale sound exciting and keep the young ones entertained for more than five astro seconds. Had a habit of coming up with sides of the story he couldn't possibly have known, but maybe he was just that good at fabricating what he believed the other side to be doing and saying.
"An observer.. like a Data Clerk or something of the sort? I suppose someone has to be archiving the histories of the war, but can't say I've encountered anyone actually doing something of the sort." Optimus maybe, but his opinions would be biased as it was given that he was the leader of the Autobots. That wasn't even going into the whole memory loss thing his friend was experiencing, not that he'd tell that to Botanica or anyone else for that matter that didn't need to know. Only if Optimus gave permission first, and even then the CMO would be hesitant. There was such a thing as doctor/patient confidentiality.
"Nemesis?" Ratchet turned to the techno-organic, optic ridge raised. What in the name of the Allspark was she even talking about? There had been a great number of Primes in the history of Cybertron, but never once had a Nemesis Prime been among them. "Can't say I've heard of such a bot. Is he Optimus' successor?"
