fly. I bet you didn't see that one coming!

Clank:  (Knocks the piece back) Check... and mate.

Ratchet: What!! That's cheating!

Planet Veldin. Just hours ago, this backwater planet was invaded by a race
known as the Tyhrranoids. The Galactic Rangers are putting up a brave fight, 
but they don't really stand much chance of defeating the attackers. This 
reporter believes that Veldin will be destroyed in a matter of hours.

Announcer (Audio): Please welcome, our next contestant! He's an unemployed 
rocket mechanic who claims to have saved two galaxies, but most of us know him 
as Secret Agent Clank's bumbling sidekick. Please welcome, Ratchet! Ratchet 
hopes that the Tyhrra-guise will make him more attractive to the ladies!

Sasha: (On screen) Ahh!

Clank: Do not be alarmed. This, is Ratchet.

Sasha: Oh. Well you're not going to believe this, but the President put Quark
in charge of the fight against Nefarious! Look at this.

Quark's Voice: Log entry number (?). After defeating Dr Nefarious, I focused my
attention on the needy one-eyed monkeys of the Florana jungle. I still yearn 
for that bitter-sweet stench of my banana-eating friends. But when I heard that
Dr Nefarious had risen again, I returned to become the legendary superhero,
CAPTAIN QUARK!

Sasha: Quark's just called his first meeting, you'd better get back to the

See the Q-force menu

(Quark is standing on the bridge, and Al, Helga, Skidd McMarx, Sasha, Skrunch,
Ratchet and Clank are standing in front of him.)

Quark: Ladies, gentlemen, oh, and Helga, you have been assembled here because 
of your skills, from Al's mastery of electronics, to Skidd's nerves of steel, 
to Helga's powers of seduction, Rraagh! Each of you has proven worthy to wear
the Q! Our first mission will be to infiltrate Nefarious' top secret base on
planet Aquatos. Impossible, you say? Perhaps for a lesser strategerist. Behold,
my brilliant plan!

(Quark's plan is illustrated on the screen with crudely drawn wax crayon
pictures)

Quark's Voice: First, Ratchet and Clank will wade through a series of tunnels
of waist-high raw sewage.

Ratchet's Voice: What?!

Quark's Voice: Please hold your questions until the end of the presentation.
Then our agents must split up. Clank will enter the ventilation shaft, where he
will deploy this Banana Guided Autonomus Monkey Device, or the BGAMD. Ratchet
will use his knowledge of the Tyhhranoid language and customs to win the trust
of the alien guards, sneak into Nefarious' personal office, steal everything
that isn't nailed down, and exfiltrate the base completely undetected!

Ratchet: That's crazy!

Quark: But it just might work!

II. Bubby
+++++++++

Ratchet and Clank are in their ship, when a message comes up.

Ratchet: Oh no!

Secret Agent Clank Director: Clank! Bubby! You're killing me! I'm trying to 
make a picture here, but mr bigshot star is nowhere to be found. 

Clank: I am currently occupied with a mission of galactic security.

Director: I see. You want a bigger trailer? Done. Daily oil massage? Done. I
need my star back!

Ratchet: (Makes fuzzing sounds) I think we're (fuzz) breaking up (fuzz).

Director: You know I can see you, weasel boy.

Ratchet: Oh yeah! How about now! (Turns communictator off). (To Clank) He'll
figure something out, we've got work to do!

Lawrence: Sorry to disturb your work, sir, but you may want to know that your
impenatreble base on planet Aquatos has been penatrated.

Nefarious: What! Who is responsible for this outrage!

Lawrence: I believe it was Captain Quark, or something.

Nefarious: Qua- (The components in Nefarious' head seize up, and the words from
a soap opera start.

expected! Well?

Skidd: Uh, way to go, dude?

Quark: Don't mention it! I was just doing my job. Anyway, now we know exactly
where the Tyhrranoids a coming from. So, with utter disregard for my own safety
, I have concocted a plan for an attack on Tyhrranosis!

(Same type of wax crayon drawings as before)

Quark's Voice: First, I shall humbly step aside to let Ratchet take out the
mortar launchers at the landing site. Then the dropship will make it's descent.
Using the assault vehicle, Ratchet
will make his way to the four plasma cannons and destroy them. Finally, Ratchet
will personally lead the assault on the main enemy base.

Quark: (Notices that Ratchet has his hand up) Yes, you there at the front.

Ratchet: Uh yeah hi. What are you guys going to be doing while I'm out
there getting blasted?

Quark: We'll be monitoring the situation. Closely. From here. (Goes up to Helga
) Actually we'll be at the lunch buffet on deck 5. It's meatloaf day! (To 
Ratchet) But we'll be rooting for you every step of the way!

Ratchet is in his Quarters with Sascha, Clank and Skidd.

Ratchet: It was the biggest Tyhrranoid you've ever seen. as big as a star
cruiser, and packing twice as much firepower. Closer, closer, what am I gonna 
do? Closer, closer, click click, my blaster jammed!

A hologram of Nefarious and Lawrence appears on the table.

Lawrence: Oh go on, we're all riveted.

Nefarious: So this is the Q-Force I've heard so much about. Pathetic! I could
annihilate you all and it wouldn't even make Supervillain Weekly!

Lawrence: But you'd do the fashion world a tremendous favour.

Nefarious: You can turn it off now, Lawrence.

Lawrence: Oh may I sir? What a treat.

The hologram disappears.

Rathcet: Al, come in.

Al: (On screen) Y'ello.

Ratchet: Someone just transmitted a message onto the ship. I need you to find
out where it came from. 

Al: Let's see, backtracking the signal. Amateurs! (To Ratchet) I've found 
something suspicious. Beaming it over now.

Announcer (Audio): On tonight's episode of Super Villain Weekly, we take a look
into the enigmatic mind of Dr Nefarious, on the weapons facility on planet Daxx
, home to such super-weapons as The Dreaded Rainbow Afrolyzer. Dr Nefarious,
what do you think of critics who say that your latest work is just more of the
same.

Nefarious: I WILL ANNIHILATE THEM!

Announcer: Lawrence, tell us a bit about this super-weapon you're creating.

Lawrence: Well, 'super' is such a strong word, and for that matter 'weapon' may 
be a tad over-doing it. But we do however have a lovely view of the ocean at
sunset.

Announcer: Is Dr Nefarious on the brink of Galactic Dominaion? Or is this just
the first in a series of maniacal pipe dreams? Stay tuned for more on Super 
Villain Weekly!

Ratchet: Planet Daxx? We better check it out.

Ratchet meets Helga by the holo-deck.

Helga: So! You've come to disgrace my training course once again!

Ratchet: Actually, we were just hoping to pick up the gadgets and split.

Clank: We have a spaceship to catch.

Helga: You slackers are always looking for the easy way out. When you pass the
course, you can have the devices.

III. Cocky
++++++++++

Ratchet completes the course, using the hypershot and the hacker.

Ratchet: That wasn't too difficult.

Helga: Oh ho ho! The little man is cocky now! How'd he like to take on Helga
on the wrestling mat. We'll see how cocky he is twisted up like a wet noodle.

Ratchet: Maybe another time.

Helga: Pansies! (Throws the two gadgets to Ratchet)

I. Biobliterator
++++++++++++++++

Ratchet uses his hacker to get to the control computer.

Clank: This computer will give us high level access to Nefarious' project files
(types while speaking). I've found something. It does not look good.

Ratchet: Biobliterator? I see what you mean. What exactly does it do?

Clank: That information has been deleted. Location unknown, however a large 
transport vessel left the facility yesterday, headed for the Obani moons.

Ratchet: The Obani moons? We'd better check it out.

II. Courtney Gears
++++++++++++++++++

Ratchet uses his hypershot to get through the island level and defeats an uber-
dropship. He reaches another computer. The room is covered with Courtney Gears
posters.


Ratchet: Looks like someeone's a big fan of Courtney Gears.

Clank: Courtney who?

Ratchet: You know, that bombshell handing out prizes on Annihilation Nation.

Clank: Ah yes. Her specifications were remarkable.

Ratchet: Well she's not the hottest popstar ing the galaxy because of her 
singing.
 
Clank: This computer has recently used to edit one of her music videos.

Ratchet: Ooh! Let's watch it! I mean, it could contain a clue, or something...

The video comes on. Courtney Gears is singing, and she has some backup dancers.

(Talking)
Hey, what's up people, it's Courtney Gears!
Are you feeling me robots? 
I'm feeling you!

(Singing)
I see the future, and what do I see?
Robots going crazy 'cross the galaxy!
Can't stand organics, they're soft and squishy,
The time is now, where robots must be free!

(Talking)
You wanna be free?
Then shout with me!

(Singing)
This goes out to all you robots 'cross the galaxy,
It's time for you and me to rise up and strike back!
Won't stop until we dominate, won't you feel great,
When we exterminate all organic life!

Clank: Miss Gears may be in league with Dr Nefarious.

Ratchet: Who knew? She always seemed so sweet and innocent in her songs. Except
for that one with the (Ratchet plays a beat with his tongue, and ends up 
bending over as if to kiss Clank.

Clank: Miss Gears may have information about what Nefarious is planning.

Ratchet: And if we win the grand prize on Annihilation Nation we'll get another
chance to talk to her.

III. An Idiot Calls
+++++++++++++++++++

As Ratchet gets into the ship, Skidd comes up on the screen.

Skidd: How d'you work this camera majiggy. Ow! Maybe... Oof! Hey Ratchet!

Ratchet: Skidd?! Can you get Captain Sascha for me?

Skidd: She and Quark are having lunch with the president. I've been left in 
charge.

Ratchet: Is Al there?

Skidd: Out to lunch.

Ratchet: Helga?

Skidd: In the sauna.

Clank: Quark's monkey perhaps?

Ratchet: Just tell Sascha that we're checking out a lead on the Obani Moons.

Skidd: The Obani moons? Sounds like you two could use a little help. I'll just
get my gear. (dashes off)

Ratchet: No no!

++++++++++++++++++++

Ratchet finds Skidd on the second moon.

Skidd: Cover me! (falls over) Man down!

Ratchet: It's all right Skidd, the fight's over.

Skidd: Oh. (picks himself up) I would have come sooner, but I encountered some
heavy duty resistance.

Clank: Enemy troops?

Skidd: Not exactly... The drive-thru at Galaxy burger was like wicked slow...

Ratchet: That last moon is protected by an Omega Class Disintegration Field. If
I had the right tools, I could hack into that generator and turn off the shield
