Darla Gratch: We continue our live coverage from Veldin. Just hours ago, the planet was attacked without warning by a terrifying alien race known as the tyhrranoids. Officials believe that an evil robotic super villain known as Dr. Nefarious is the mastermind behind the tyhrranoid attack. As you can see, the Galactic Rangers are putting up a valiant fight, but they are no match for these tentacle-eyed terrors. Indeed, this backwater planet may be completely be destroyed in a matter of hours. Darla Gratch, Channel 64 News.

Qwark Comic Introduction

Narrator: These are the real life adventures of Captain Qwark, the greatest superhero the galaxy has ever known.

Qwark: Hey, is this thing on?

Narrator: Ahem, meticulously reconstructed by our crack research team with the aid of eyewitness accounts, bathroom gossip, wild speculation, and a Magic 8-Ball. In the early days of the fifth Solarian equinox the Solana Galaxy was terrorized by a notorious pirate known as Captain Blackstar.

Qwark: Ahoy! Anybody else got a craving for fish'n chips?

Narrator: Though still in the prime of his youth, Captain Qwark-

Qwark: (rawrs)

Narrator: Was already a living legend.

Qwark: I was beating 'em off with a stick!

Narrator: However, no previous adventure could have prepared Qwark for his encounter with the dread pirate Blackstar and his crew of- Oh, please tell me this is a typo.

Qwark: That's Robotic Pirate Ghosts. Guess reading wasn't your subject, eh, professor?

Narrator: I mean, I've worked on some real junk, but this one takes the cake. Pirate ghost robots? What, do they think we're idiots?

Qwark: Hey professor, snap to it!

Narrator: (grunts) Once again, the citizens of the Solana galaxy owed their lives to the dauntless courage of the remarkable man behind the Q. With great reluctance, Qwark accepted a meager fee for his services and promptly donated the entire sum to the Qwark For Tots scholarship fund, a charity providing makeovers and buxom bimbos for needy people named Qwark.

Qwark: I've got a big heart.

Qwark: Mr. President? Yes, I got the fruit basket, thanks. It turns out I'm allergic to prunes. Yeah, who knew? What?! Blackwater City is under attack?! Yes, sir. I'm on my way!

Narrator: The exciting all true, right, adventures of Captain Qwark continue in Episode 2.

(After the cutscene plays.)
Qwark: Well, who's that handsome devil?

Clank: It appears Qwark has regained his memory.

Qwark: Hey! This dressing room isn't fit for a pig! What kind of shotty production are you people running?!

Ratchet: That's him all right.

Sasha Phyronix: He may need a little while to adjust. In the meantime, I've got a mission that's perfect for you two. We've just learned of a prototype holographic device that can disguise the user as a tyhrranoid, even allowing him to speak Tyhrranese.

Qwark: Is it just me, or do you smell bananas?

Sasha Phyronix: Anyway, heh, the device happens to be the grand prize on this week's Annihilation Nation. Check it out.

Annihilation Nation

Captain Qwark Returns

Qwark: Qwark personal log: entry 101301. After I personally vanquished the Prototpet menace and revamped the Megacorp testing facility, I decided to focus my efforts on protecting the endangered creatures of the Florana jungle. But when news arrived that Dr. Nefarious had again risen to power, I knew where my true destiny lay.

Qwark: The training necessary to get back into tip-top shape has been exhausting and my mind overflows with brilliant concepts. Though, I still yearn for the bittersweet stench of my simian companions. (sighs)

Qwark: The time has come to resume my duties as the greatest hero the galaxy has ever known. Captain Qwark!

(After the cutscene plays.)
Sasha Phyronix: You're not going to believe this, but the President put Qwark in charge of the fight against Nefarious. Our new commander just called his first team meeting. You'd better get back to the Phoenix right away.

Ratchet: (speaking unintelligible tyhrranese)

Clank: I agree. This does not sound good.

On-screen: You got the Tyhrra-Guise!

Phoenix 3

Return to the Starship Phoenix (gameplay)

Qwark: Ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and Helga. Welcome to the Q-Force! You have been assembled here because each of you is an expert in your particular field. From Al's mastery of electronics, to Skidd's nerves of steel—

Skidd McMarx: Hey!

Qwark: —to Helga's sensual powers of seduction (rawrs). Each of you has shown that you are worthy to wear the Q! Years ago I single-handedly defeated Dr. Nefarious, but like a rash on the galaxy's backside he has flared up again. Our first mission will be to infiltrate the doctor's top-secret base on planet Aquatos. Impossible, you say? Perhaps for a lesser strategerist. Behold, my brilliant plan!

Mission Idiotic

Qwark: First, Ratchet and Clank will descend to the sea floor and wade through a series of tunnels flooded with waist-high raw sewage.

Ratchet: What?!

Qwark: Please hold your questions until the end of the presentation. After infiltrating the base, our agents will split up. Clank will enter the base's ventilation system, where he will locate and deploy this Banana Guided Autonomus Monkey Device, or BGAMD.

Skrunch: (monkey noises)

Qwark: Meanwhile, Ratchet will use his extensive knowledge of the tyhrranoid language and customs to win the trust of the bloodthirsty alien guards. Finally, our agents will make their way to Nefarious' personal office, steal everything that isn't nailed down, and exfiltrate the base completely undetected!

(After the cutscene plays.)
Ratchet: That's crazy!

Qwark: But it just might work!

(After the cutscene plays.)
On-screen: Downloaded coordinates for: Deep Sea Hideout, Planet Aquatos

Al (communicator): Ratchet, I urgently need to know how the Qwark vs. Nefarious vid-comic series ends. When are you going to play your new comic?

Emergency Plan Number 2

Narrator: Qwark Comic episode two: Arriba Amoeba.

Narrator: A new evil was gathering in the shadowy swamps of Blackwater City. A horrific breed of monsters, known as amoeboids. Born in the laboratories of a twisted scientist named Dr. Nefarious.

Nefarious: To think, they called me insane, Lawrence! We'll see who's insane when my pets have exterminated all life on this miserable planet!

Lawrence: That should clear things right up, sir.

Narrator: When Captain Qwark encountered the amoeboids for the first time, he immediately executed emergency response plan: number two.

Qwark: Hey, wait just a minute!

Narrator: Qwark then proceeded to stall for time while he coordinated the city's defenses from the women's restroom at Galaxy Burger.

Qwark: Give me that thing, you lying no good!

Narrator: Ooph!

Qwark: Right, now where were we? From the moment I touched down, I knew the situation called for a head-on assault. Without hesitation I rushed to do heroic battle with the monstrous amoeboid horde!

Qwark Holds His Breath

Narrator: His amoeboid army defeated, Dr. Nefarious had no choice but to flee Blackwater City in disgrace.

Nefarious: You've not seen the last of me! I will have my vengeance if it takes a thousand years! (laughs)

Narrator: Dr. Nefarious was right about one thing: he and Qwark would meet again and sooner than he realized, for a true hero like Captain Qwark will stop at nothing in the name of justice!

Qwark: What?! I held my breath!

(While traveling to Planet Aquatos.)
Clank: Incoming call.

Ratchet: Oh no.

Director: Clank, bubby! You're killing me!

Clank: Excuse me?

Director: I'm trying to make a picture here and mister big-shot star is nowhere to be found!

Director: Right, right. I get it. You want a bigger trailer? Done. You want a daily oil massage? Done! I need my star on the set, pronto! Capeech?

Ratchet: (Makes fuzzing sounds) Uhh, you're uhh, breaking up! (fuzz).

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

Ratchet: Oh, yeah? How about now?

Ratchet: He'll figure something out, we've got work to do!

Slim Cognito: Psst!

Skidd McMarx: (screams)

Slim Cognito: Well, if it ain't two of my best customers.

Ratchet: Slim Cognito?! What are you doing down here?

Slim Cognito: I had a small run in with the cops concerning a Suck Cannon upgrade that was mistakenly sold to a minor. I swear, the kid looked eighteen! Anyway, I needed to find a less conspicuous place to do business. I take it you two are still in the market?

Ratchet: Well, let's see what you've got.

Find Nefarious' Office (gameplay)

Clank: There is the ventilation shaft. We must split up here.

Ratchet: Clank?! What are you doing here!? You're supposed to meet me on the surface!

Clank: I thought I would help.

Ratchet: Well, you can give me a hand searching Dr. Nefarious' office. Hmm, let's see.

Ratchet: Whoa, look at this, the complete Secret Agent Clank holo-vid collection! This guy's your biggest fan!

Clank: That's is rather disturbing.

Clank: I have downloaded an encrypted star map. Perhaps Al can decode it.

Ratchet: Great! Let's get back to the Phoenix!

Gather Sewer Crystals (gameplay)

(Upon approaching the Plumber.)
Ratchet: Woah, déjà vu!

Plumber: Ow! Oh, it's you two again, right on schedule. This here's one of the nastiest, smelliest, sewers in the galaxy. Most guys wouldn't set foot in a place like this. But me- (sniffs) I just can't get enough.

Ratchet: Right. Well, we were just passing through. You can get back to whatever you were doing.

Plumber: Hey, if you find any sewer crystals, I'll pay you for 'em in bolts. I'm making something special for the missus.

Ratchet: Sewer crystals, uh-huh. We'll keep that in mind.

(Upon approaching the Plumber with sewer crystals, where X is the amount of crystals and bolts.)

Qwark (communicator): Ratchet, bring that star map you stole from Nefarious back to the Phoenix. I've got a plan, and I think you're gonna like it.

(Upon giving the Plumber at least the first two crystals.)
Plumber: (sniffs) Ahh. Fresh from the bowels of a king amoeboid.

(Upon giving all sewer crystals to the plumber.)
Ratchet: That's the last of 'em.

Plumber: Now, I can finally make my wife that sewer crystal necklace she's always wanted.

Ratchet: Say, what are sewer crystals, exactly?

Plumber: Ooh, pfft. Trust me, it's better you don't know. Well boys I'll be seeing ya, one of these days.

Dirty Laundry and Whatnot

Lawrence: Sorry to disturb your work, sir. But you may want to know that your impenetrable secret base on Aquatos has been penetrated.

Nefarious: Impossible!

Lawrence: If you say so, sir. They apparently stole some sort of data disk. Well, I must be off now. Dirty laundry and whatnot.

Nefarious: Who is responsible for this outrage?

Lawrence: I believe it was a Captain Qwark or something.

Nefarious: Qwa..!

Lance: Oh Janice, you'll always be the love of my life.

Lawrence: You really should have that looked at.

Nefarious ...ark! That moron could never hope to match wits with the likes of me!

Lawrence: If anyone can beat a moron at his own game, it's you, sir. He has, however, assembled a group of elite agents known as the Q-Force.

Nefarious: What!? This Q-Force must be stopped! Destroy them! Eradicate them! Annihilate them all! (laughs)

Lawrence: It's on my to-do list. Right after folding your under-garments.

Phoenix 4

Return to the Phoenix (gameplay)

Qwark: Well team, I believe some congratulations are in order! Heh, after all, my plan worked even more perfectly than expected. Well?

Skidd McMarx: Uh, way to go, dude?

Qwark: Don't mention it! I'm just doing my job.

Ratchet: Ugh!

Qwark: Now that I know where the tyhrranoids are coming from, I can put a stop to this alien menace once and for all. With utter disregard for my own safety, I've drawn up an ingenious plan for an attack on Tyhrranosis!

Plan of Attack

Qwark: First, I shall humbly step aside allowing Ratchet to free-fall down and take out the mortar launchers at the landing site. Once the mortars have been silenced, the dropship will make its descent.

Qwark: Next, Ratchet will take the assault vehicle from the dropship, make his way to the four plasma cannon turrets, and destroy them. Once the turrets have been knocked out, Ratchet will personally lead the assault on the main enemy base.

Qwark: All right! Let's get to it! Yes, you there at the front.

Ratchet: Uh, yeah, hi. I was just wondering, what are the rest of you going to be doing while I'm down there getting blasted?

Qwark: We'll be monitoring the situation. Closely, from here.

Qwark: Actually we'll be down at the lunch buffet on deck five. It's meatloaf day! But we'll be rooting for you every step of the way!

Skidd McMarx: Yeah, man. We got your back!

Helga: Yeah! The plan is excellent!

Nefarious: I will annihilate them!!

Announcer: Lawrence, tell us a bit about this top secret super-weapon being constructed on planet Daxx?

Skidd McMarx: Okay, I'll zip it. Man, the guys aren't gonna believe this!

Skidd McMarx: Like, destroy all squishies, dude.

Ratchet: Wha-? They turned Skidd into a robot?! That's impossible!

Klunk: Not for Dr. Nefarious.

Courtney Gears: Don't be afraid, Ratchet. The transformation doesn't hurt. (giggles) Much.

Courtney Gears: Besides, I think you'll enjoy being a robot.

Ratchet: Let's see if you can fight better than you can sing.

(Randomly throughout the fight.)

Courtney Gears

• Yeah! Work it!
• Ugh! All right!
• Break it down!
• Shake that booty!
• We are the future!
• You'll make a nice fur coat!
• Ha-ha! You squishes can't dance!

(Upon being hit.)
Dancer: Ow!

(Sometimes upon defeating one of the dancers.)
Courtney Gears: Melissa! She was one of my best dancers! You're gonna pay for that!

(Upon taking damage in last half of the fight.)

Courtney Gears

• Oops I did it again!
• Ouch! That looked like it hurt!

(Upon damaging Courtney in second half of the fight.)

Courtney Gears

• Ow! My hair!
• Aww! I broke a nail!
• Is that all you've got?!
• Ow! Security! Get me security!
• You'll pay for that you nappy little rat!

(Upon defeating Courtney Gears.)
Courtney Gears: No! My fans can't live without me!

Klunk: One disposable pop-star, disposed! (chuckles)

Ratchet: Uh, you okay, Clank?

Klunk: Transmission from the Phoenix.

Sasha Phyronix: We've located the Nefarious' star cruiser. It's refueling at the Zeldrin Starport. Qwark is already on his way there.

Ratchet: It might be a trap. I think Courtney Gears was setting us up. Even so, it could be our only chance to stop Nefarious. We'll meet Qwark at the starport.

Sasha Phyronix: Be careful, Ratchet.

Ratchet: Come on, Clank. We'll come back for Skidd later.

Skidd McMarx: Uh like, destroy all squishes and stuff.

Ratchet: Captain my (unintelligible). Wait, oof, don't sit on the flight stick!

Qwark: (yells)

Ratchet (whispering): It's too quiet. I don't like it.

Qwark (yelling): Once again my brilliant plan has caught the enemy completely unawares!

Klunk: (chuckles) Message received.

Ratchet: What's that, Clank?

Klunk: Nothing.

Qwark: We'll have to split up and search the ship. Just remember, Nefarious is mine.

Ratchet (whispering): Unless we get to him first. Come on, Clank. Let's get some payback for Skidd.

Lawrence: Come in, gentlemen. We've been expecting you.

Lawrence: The riffraff have arrived, sir.

Nefarious: Captain Qwark! You've put on a bit of weight since last we met.

Qwark: Yeah? Well, Courtney Gears didn't seem to mind.

Nefarious: Qwa..!

Lance: That's what makes it so good, Janice. Feel it? My heart is pounding like an anvil!

Lawrence: Oh, this is the best part of my day.

Nefarious: ...ark! I'll have the last laugh. I lured you here so that I could witness your demise! (laughs)

Overhead speaker: Auto-destruct sequence initiated. Prepare to die.

Nefarious: (laughs) Lawrence, teleport us out of here.

Lawrence: Of course, sir.

Sasha Phyronix: I, um. Well, we are all very glad you made it back safely.

Ratchet: Did you detect any other craft leaving the star cruiser? An escape pod? Another shuttle, maybe? Anything?!

Sasha Phyronix: I'm sorry, Ratchet. We heard the whole thing over the comlink. You had no choice. Captain Qwark died a hero.

Helga (crying): And we would frolic in fitness course unto the wee hours of the morning!

Ratchet: Captain Qwark had so many, um, wonderful qualities I just don't know where to begin.

Klunk: Such as?

Ratchet: Oh, err, okay. Uh, he was really tall! And ah, he had a unique fashion sense. And he had a really big chin with a kind of a, sort of a, well, you know butt shape. Ah, well, you know, I think I've droned on long enough.

President Phyronix: I just heard what happened. I wanted to offer my condolences to the team. Qwark's loss is a true tragedy. The man was a hero. Brave, honest, kind, and humble to the core.

Skrunch: (crying)

Klunk: What a load of bull-..

Ratchet: Shh!

President Phyronix: Captain Qwark may be gone, but his indomitable spirit of heroism lives on in each of you. I know the Q-Force will make our fallen Captain proud. Carry on, men.

Al: This came in the mail for Qwark. It's chapter four of the Qwark vid-comic series. He'd want you to have it.

Narrator: For six days, Captain Qwark clung to the ship like the dung of a giant green space bird. Finally, the ship arrived at its destination- a secret robotic laboratory on Planet Magmos. Drawing on his mastery of the ancient art of disguise, Qwark slipped into the laboratory completely undetected.

Qwark: Somebody.. somebody order a pizza?

Narrator: Qwark's plan was flawless. But unbeknownst to our hero, his every move was being watched.

Nefarious: The famous Captain Qwark couldn't possibly be this stupid, could he?

Lawrence: Even drooling imbeciles can achieve success in certain fields, sir. Mad science, for example. Shall I have him annihilated, then?

Nefarious: Let him come to us. I'll have a special surprise waiting for him! (laughs)

Nefarious: Who designed this place anyway?!

Nefarious: I'll say.

9th Grade Biology Class

Qwark: It's over, Nefarious!

Nefarious: Never! I am the greatest genius the galaxy has ever known! You're no match for the likes of me!

Qwark: Hah! That's rich. I used to beat up geeks like you in high school. I'll bet your prom date came in a box that said batteries not included! Say, come to think of it, we've met before, haven't we?

Nefarious: No! Uh.. no, of course not.

Qwark: Mr. Bozell's 9th grade biology class!

Nefarious: (groans) I always hated biology!

Qwark: That's right! You were that freak with the headgear! Remember how I used to clean the chalkboard with your pants? (chuckles) While you were still wearing them?! Ohh, good times.

Nefarious: You were three times my size, you stupid oaf!

Qwark: I was always big for my age.

Nefarious: You were twenty six!

Qwark: Say, how about a wedgie for old time's sake?

Nefarious (screaming): Qwark!

Qwark: I think it's safe to say we've seen the last of Dr. Nefarious. Time to celebrate another job well done!

Narrator: But the danger was far from over. For in defeating one menace to the galaxy, Qwark had created another even more terrifying evil.

Lance: What? Who.. who is the father?

Janice: Oh! Your evil twin brother Englebert!

Lance: But Janice, I am Englebert!

Helga: Guten tag, Captain Flabby!

Qwark: Dargh, Helga?! What are you doing here?!

Helga: Getting you off your lazy butt! You have plumped out like a giant green bratwurst! Hohoho! It is time for the fitness course!

Qwark: Sorry, what's that, stumpy?

Nefarious: This isn't over, Qwark! I swear, I will return some day to destroy you and bring Metropolis to its knees!

Qwark: Uh-huh. Just a word of advice, Nefarious. Quit while you're a head.

Nefarious (screaming): Qwark!

Narrator: And so Qwark believed that the threat posed to that galaxy had been ended forever. But.. huh. Seems the script is missing a few pages. Ooph!

Qwark: Thanks, Professor, I'll take it from here! And so ends the greatest tale of courage and heroism ever told, the true story of Captain Qwark's triumph over the nefarious super villain known as uh, Dr. Nefarious.

Nefarious: Did you hear that, Lawrence?!

Lawrence: You put the wit in twit, sir.

Nefarious: Yes, I do, don't I? (laughs)

Nefarious: Today you will witness the dawning of a new era! For years I plotted in secret suffering endless disappointments. But soon it will all be worthwhile!

Klunk: (chuckles)

Ratchet: Yeah, didn't think so.

Nefarious: (laughs and coughs) Ooh, I've been laughing so hard today my sides ache! I must admit, Ratchet, you've proven to be a far more worthy adversary than that imbecile Qwark. Alas, I have a galaxy to conquer, so our game must end here. It's a shame you won't live long enough to see the rest of your kind exterminated! (laughs)

Nefarious: (coughs) Well, you get the idea.

Klunk: (chuckles)

Galactic citizens are in a state of hysteria, reacting to news that Dr. Nefarious is planning identical attacks across the galaxy. We're live from Planet Marcadia with the Galactic President.

Darla Gratch: Mr. President, how will the attack on Metropolis affect your chances for re-election this fall?

President Phyronix: I'm glad you asked, Darla. Our demographic research indicates that robots will make up one-hundred percent of the galactic population by this time next week. Of course, that's great news for my re-election campaign, because as you know, I'm half robot myself!

Sasha Phyronix: I don't believe this! Everyone's acting like Nefarious has already won!

Ratchet: Maybe he has. If we don't find those Biobliterators soon, we're all gonna be robots. Uh, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sasha Phyronix: Wait a second. Before the star cruiser blew up, didn't Qwark say he was trying to find something?

Ratchet: Yeah! It's a long shot, but I guess it's worth a try. The cruiser went down on Planet Zeldrin. We'll go check out the crash site. Maybe we can find what Qwark was looking for.

Taxi Driver: B20 Crotchetizer, huh? This gets better every second!

Ratchet: I should have known!

Clank: What? That Qwark had a sister?

Ratchet: Huh?! No, no. That he's still alive! That was Qwark!

Clank: Ohhh. But why did he not report back to the Phoenix?

Ratchet: Because he wants us to think he's dead. I don't like it, Clank. Until we know what Qwark is up to, we should keep this quiet. If the Q-Force finds out that Qwark ran out on us, they might lose hope.

Clank: I understand. I do not like it, but I understand.

Skrunch: (monkey noises)

Ratchet: Hey, what's he got there?

Clank: It is a data disk. Qwark must have taken it from the star cruiser.

Ratchet: That must be what he went back for! Let's get back to the Phoenix and decode it.

Ranger: Thanks, Sarge. You got here just in time. We're falling back to base to regroup.

On-screen:

Mission Accomplished.

Reward: 15000 bolts

Assassination (gameplay)

(Upon starting the mission.)
Ranger: Looks like you're going solo on this mission, Sarge. Yeah, the squads got a mandatory aerobics class we can't miss. Anyway, give those four-eyed scum sacs a whooping for us.

(Upon defeating three four-eyed tyhrranoids.)
Trooper 1: This reminds me of the Battle of Hamachi Flats back in 23. When I took on an army of ghost pirate robots with nothing but a Qwack-o-Ray and a half charged crotchitizer.

Trooper 2: Is that why some of the older guys call you "cabin boy", sir?

Trooper 1: Ahem, all units maintain radio silence.

Trooper 2: Haha, that must have been a real feather in your cap, chief! (chuckles)

Trooper 1: Keep talking, J-31. We'll see how you like scrub duty for the next six weeks!

(Upon defeating all of the enemies.)
Ranger: Mission accomplished. All rangers regroup and get ready to take back the valley!

On-screen:

Mission Accomplished.

Reward: 20000 bolts

Reclaim the Valley (gameplay)

(Upon starting the mission.)
Ranger: Sarge, we need to activate those turrets to create a defensive perimeter around the valley.

(Upon activating the first turret.)
Ranger: Uh, I think maybe we should stick around here and guard this turret, you know, in case the 'noids try anything sneaky! You can handle the rest yourself.

(Upon activating the second turret.)
Ranger: How's it going, Sarge? You don't need any help do ya? Uh, sorry, you're breaking up! I'll call back later!

(Upon activating the third turret.)
Ranger: Go, Sarge! Three down, one to go.

(Upon activating the final turret.)
Ranger: All right, perimeter secured! Another victory for the rangers! Hey, maybe you should try pulling your own weight next time, Sarge!

On-screen:

Mission Accomplished.

Reward: 25000 bolts

X12 Endgame (gameplay)

(Upon starting the mission.)
Ranger: We've got the 'noids on a run! If somebody could push through those tunnels, we could launch a direct assault on the enemy base!

(Upon the rangers approaching the enemy base.)
Ranger: There's a room full of 'noids up ahead, Sarge. You go in and clear 'em out while I.. uh, cover the rear.

(Upon the tyhrranoid saucers appearing inside of the base.)
Ranger: Incoming saucers!

(Upon the tyhrranoids spawning from the other side of the bridge.)
Ranger: Take cover! The 'noids are coming over the bridge!

(Upon the tyhrranoid dropship approaching.)
Ranger: Fall back! There's a tyhrranoid ship blocking the tunnel exit!

(On destroying the tyhrranoid dropship.)
Ranger: The enemy base is wide open! Time to finish the job.

(Upon destroying the two turrets on the enemy base.)
Ranger: Inform command that Outpost X12 has been secured.

(The second line of text will appear if you have completed all other ranger missions.)

Ratchet: What the..?

Ranger: Pretty cool, huh? It's called a Warp Pad. Great for running away. Here, I got an extra one.

Phoenix 8

Take Datadisk to Big Al (gameplay)

Ratchet: Hey, Al. What's up?

Al: Let's see, the neural matrix of this autonomous simulacrum retains an imprint of the template's original psyche embedded at its core level.

Ratchet: Um, you lost me after let's see.

Clank: He means it may be possible to reverse the process.

Skidd McMarx: Dude, dude, dude. What a trip.

Ratchet: Cool, I guess. Al, we recovered a data disk from Nefarious' cruiser. Can you decode it?

Al: Of course. Hmm, yes. Ooh! Omega-class asymmetric encryption! (chuckles) Finally, a challenge worthy of my skills! Oh, by the way, we found something interesting in Qwark's quarters.

Ratchet: Hey, if it's another crotchetizer I don't even want to-..

Al: It is a Qwark vid-comic! Specifically, it is episode five of the Dr. Nefarious series. But, as everyone knows, only four issues were ever published. Not even my pals in the Qwark Cadets fan club have ever heard of this issue and those guys are real geeks, if you know what I mean! (chuckles)

Ratchet: I sure do. Thanks Al, we'll check it out.

(After the cutscene plays.)
On-screen: Qwark-Comic Issue 5: The Shaming of the Q

Redecorating the Torture Chamber

Narrator: This is the true story that Captain Qwark hoped you would never see. The unauthorized, uncensored and utterly unbelievable missing chapter of the Qwark Comic series. Viewer discretion is advised.

Qwark: Just a word of advice, Nefarious. Quit while you're a head.

Narrator: And so Qwark believed that the threat posed to the galaxy had been ended forever, but he was dead wrong.

Lawrence: Bottoms up!

Qwark: Somebody say something?

Nefarious: What took you so long?

Lawrence: I was picking out some new curtains for the torture chamber. They're crushed velvet with a gold lamet trim. Oh, I think they really add life to the space.

Nefarious: Never mind that now! Grab Qwark and let's get out of here!

Lawrence: Of course, sir.

Courtney Gears: Oh, Qwark. I've never met a man like you! After you, I'll be ruined for other men.

Qwark: That's what they all say.

Qwark: (screams) Where am I?!

Nefarious: You're in my secret prison, awaiting the most ingenious and depraved punishment I can possibly imagine! Come, Lawrence. It's time for my massage.

Lawrence: Oh, goodie.

Narrator: Using his antenna as a lock pick, Qwark eventually managed to open the door to his cell.

Qwark: Almost got it. Haha!

Narrator: But his escape did not go unnoticed.

Qwark: Uh-oh.

Play vid-comic Episode Five (gameplay)

(Upon obtaining Qwark's blaster.)
HelpDesk (on-screen): Press to fire my blaster. Hold down and move the Left for precision aiming.

Qwark (communicator): Press circle to fire my blaster. Hold down R1 and move the left analog stick for precision aiming.

(Upon respawning after dying)
Nefarious: Look, he's getting away! Do something, Lawrence!

Lawrence: Perhaps we should flood the facility with boiling acid.

Nefarious: Ooh, I like the way you think, Lawrence. Can we do that? Make it so.

(After dying and then going up a narrow corridor)
Qwark: Don't look down! Don't look down!

(While going up a narrow corridor.)
Nefarious: The robot who brings me the head of Captain Qwark gets a free lube job! Everyone else gets disintegrated.

(Upon reaching a hallway after reaching the top of the long narrow corridor)
Nefarious: (laughs) This is getting good! More popcorn, Lawrence.

(Upon reaching a group of ice blocks in the same corridor)
Nefarious: Turn it up, Lawrence. I love this part!

(After traversing the rooms with the ice block stacks.)
Nefarious: (chews) Mmm! Good stuff!

Who's Butt is This?

Narrator: After his narrow escape from the clutches of Dr. Nefarious, Qwark dropped out of the public eye. Truth is, Qwark was holed up in his secret hideout on the Thran Asteroid, terrified that Dr. Nefarious would make good on his promise of revenge. When Nefarious didn't resurface, Qwark assumed he was gone forever and returned to his career as a high-profile celebrity superhero. But the galaxy had not seen the last of Dr. Nefarious.

Nefarious: Ouch! What do you think you're doing, you oaf?!

Lawrence: Do hold still, sir. This is a very delicate procedure. There, that should do the trick. Go ahead, take her for a spin.

Nefarious: What's going on? Where are my arms?! Whose butt is this?!

Lawrence: Oh, my mistake, sir. Dreadfully sorry.

Nefarious (screaming): Lawre..!

Lance: Oh, Janice!

Janice: Oh, Lance!

Lawrence: Oh, my. We will have to get that fixed one these days.

(After the cutscene ends.)
Ratchet: I should've known Qwark was full of it!

Clank: But why would Qwark lie to us?

Skidd McMarx: Dude, Qwark is bogus, bogus, bogus.

Ratchet: You can ask him yourself when we see him. According to this vid-comic, Qwark has a secret hideout in the Thran Asteroid Belt. I've got a hunch he's there right now.

Skrunch: (monkey noises)

Clank: He says he wants to come with us.

Ratchet: I don't think that- uh, wait a minute. You speak monkey?

Clank: Oh, just enough to get by. (monkey noises)

Skrunch: (monkey noises)

Ratchet: Now what?!

Clank: He says you have ears like a Florana dung beaver. (chuckles)

Ratchet: Yeah, hilarious. Let's see if he's still laughing when he finds out his pal Qwark is working with Nefarious.

Skidd McMarx: Major bogus.

Clank: Surely Qwark would never-..

Ratchet: He teamed up with Drek, didn't he? And I know I don't have to remind you about that Protopet business. Who knows what he's capable of.

Skrunch: (monkey noises)

Qwark: Hey, little buddy. How'd you find me here?

Ratchet: We found your secret vid-comic, Qwark.

Qwark: Oh, that. Well, I don't expect you to understand. You probably look at me and think, "I'd give anything for a body like that!". For just one drop of his raw animal magnetism, one iota of his impeccable-..

Ratchet: Can we just skip to the end, please?!

Qwark: Er, let's see. Where was I? Sexy, charming, brilliant, iron hard abs! Ah, yes. But despite my outward appearance of utter perfection, well, umm..

Ratchet: Deep inside you're a cowardly wuss?

Qwark: No! Not exactly. When I escaped from that star cruiser cheating death by mere nanoseconds, I suddenly realized something very important: I could have died! Me, Captain Qwark! Imagine, an entire galaxy with no more me.

Qwark: And for what cause? So a few trillion people get turned into robots? Who am I to say who should or shouldn't be turned into a robot?!

Ratchet: You're pathetic, Qwark! I can't believe I once looked up to you. Let's go, Clank.

Clank: The people of this galaxy need you, Qwark. They believe in you. You can give them hope. You have a chance to redeem yourself and become the hero you have always wanted to be.

Skrunch: (screams)

(Upon returning to the ship landing pad.)
Sasha Phyronix: Ratchet, where have you been?!

Ratchet: We were just-..

Sasha Phyronix: Never mind. The Phoenix is under attack! Our shields are-..

Ratchet: Sasha!

Sasha Phyronix: ..to forty percent. Life support systems are- ..I think they're getting- ..aboard the ship. Whatever's on that disk has Nefarious worried. Do anything to get it back. Hey hotshot, if I don't get to see you again, I just wanted to say-..

Ratchet: Hey, it's good to see you, too. Everyone okay?

Sasha Phyronix: We're fine. You made it just in time.

Ratchet: Any luck with the data disk?

Al: Hmph. Luck, he says!

Sasha Phyronix: Al cracked the encryption. The disk contains a complete copy of Nefarious' battle plan. He's going to attack planet after planet leaving nothing but robots in his wake. The Biobliterator is so well protected Nefarious doesn't believe there is any chance we can stop it.

Ratchet: Can we?

Al: I estimate our odds at approximately one in sixty-three million. Give or take.

Ratchet: Hey, that's uh, well you know, not so bad.

Al: The Biobliterator is programmed to recharge its power cells after each attack.

Sasha Phyronix: It's recharging at a base on planet Koros, right now. And Ratchet, the next target is Veldin.

Ratchet: Yeah, right. Where we gonna get that kind of firepower?

Clank: Found it.

Ratchet: Huh? Woah. Yeah, that oughta do it.

Clank: If you can get me inside the command center, I can override the targeting system and take control of that ion cannon.

Nefarious (screaming) Cla..!

Clank: Incoming call from the Phoenix.

Sasha Phyronix: Nice shooting, Clank. There's no telling how many lives you just saved! But we're not done yet.

Ratchet: Huh?

Sasha Phyronix: Al just finished decoding the data disk. Nefarious secretly constructed a second Biobliterator, a new model even more dangerous than the one you just destroyed.

Ratchet: Where is it?

Sasha Phyronix: Nefarious has a master control center on planet Mylon. We believe the last Biobliterator is there now, guarded by an entire robot army.

On-screen: This is a fire drill! I need you to activate that elevator immediately, then proceed to the nearest swimming pool and throw yourself in.

On-screen: Hmm... how do I know I can trust you? You are a squishy, after all.

(Upon successfully inputting the correct buttons for the second challenge.)
On-screen: Could one Tyhrranoid lie to another?

On-screen: Only if his lips were moving.

(Upon successfully inputting the correct buttons for the third challenge.)

(Upon successfully inputting the correct buttons for the fifth challenge.)
On-screen: Excuse me, sir. Lawrence doesn't like the color of this forcefield. He says it clashes with his trousers and he wants it deactivated immediately.

On-screen: Nice try, squishy. You know, I heard a rumor about a Lombax creeping around here disguised as a Tyhrranoid.

(Upon successfully inputting the correct buttons for the sixth challenge.)

Insomniac Museum

Mike Stout

(Upon stepping on the help message at the Hacker puzzles, the editable effect area, or the Qwark comic section of the museum.)
On-screen: Donated by: Mike Stout

On-screen: Our QA testers put their heads together and came up with a number of fiendishly hard Hacker puzzles. See if you're good enough to beat them! If you can, you can win some bolts!

On-screen: Back by popular demand, you can edit your own special effects. Just enter the debug window and change the values and see what you come up with.

On-screen: Because the enemies appear so small on the screen when playing the Qwark vid-comics, we thought we'd bring them closer for your viewing pleasure.

Cory Stockton

(Upon stepping on the help message at the turboslider model.)
On-screen: Donated by: Cory Stockton

On-screen: Early on, we planned to have Turboslider races included in Ratchet and Clank 3. Due to a lack of time, however, they were eventually cut. However, you can still drive around on the only race track ever to be created.

Ken Strickland

(Upon stepping on the help message near Captain Blackstar or to the left of the TV in the Qwark comic section of the museum.)
On-screen: Donated by: Ken Strickland

On-screen: This is Captain Blackstar, the original boss enemy at the end of Qwark vid-comic 1. He ultimately proved too complex and was cut.

On-screen: Now you can play the original, uncut, uncensored version of the Qwark vid-comic 1, "Booty is in the Eye of the Beholder" featuring different gameplay and the cut boss, Captain Blackstar.

Sean Wissler

(Upon stepping on the help message to the right of the TV in the Qwark comic section of the museum.)
On-screen: Donated by: Sean Wissler

On-screen: This unnamed level was the first level ever designed for the Captain Qwark vid-comic rounds. Because it was very early, many of the concepts we tried here didn't work and as a result we cut the level. It is preserved here for historical purposes.

Scott Reeser

(Upon stepping on the help message near the multiplayer walker models.)
On-screen: Donated by: Scott Reeser

On-screen: Originally, if any team in Multiplayer controlled all nodes in a battlefield, this monstrosity would appear and wreak havoc across the map. It was ultimately cut because it was too complex.

Carl Grande

(Upon stepping on the help message in Hank's room or the cut sandshark model.)
On-screen: Donated by: Carl Grande

On-screen: Hank, the fearless Wiener Dog, was chosen by his owner, Carl Grande, as a De Facto mascot for Insomniac Games. These are pictures made by Carl to push Hank's celebrity status.

On-screen: This was an early design for the sandshark enemy from the original Ratchet and Clank game. It ended up not being the look we were going for, however.

Gray Ginther

(Upon stepping on the help message near the cut Qwark mask and cut hovership model.)
On-screen: Donated by: Gray Ginther

On-screen: This is the original mask Captain Qwark wore when Ratchet first finds him on Florana. It was found to be too silly, and was replaced with one a little more somber.

On-screen: This is one of the early designs for the Hovership vehicle, which can be found in both the single and multiplayer parts of Ratchet and Clank 3.

Steve Moore

(Upon stepping on the help message near the Hound of Doom.)
On-screen: Donated by: Steve Moore

On-screen: This robotic Canine was originally intended as a weapon in Ratchet and Clank 2. The so called "Hound of Doom" was supposed to seek enemies, attack, and then hang onto them until they shook him off or were defeated.

Tony Garcia

(Upon stepping on the help message near the cut Daxx enemies.)
On-screen: Donated by: Carl Grande

On-screen: These enemies were originally for Planet Daxx. They were cut because their behavior was too complex for an enemy that only appeared once in the game.

On-screen: This swarmer was also going to appear with the ape enemies on Daxx. They were cut in favor of the fireflies because the fireflies were much less bug-prone.

In memory of Captain Qwark,

The galaxy's most courageous hero,

and role model to men who wear tights.

He showed us that squeezing into a leotard doesn't make you a wussy,

necessarily.

Ok, usually it does.

Especially if it's green.

Multiplayer Tutorial

Qwark: Greetings, Qwark cadets! This is Captain Qwark, here to teach you everything you need to know about playing a multiplayer game. Let's get started!

Qwark: The multiplayer game can be played in split screen or online mode. Players are divided into red and blue teams. The object of a multiplayer game is to capture the opposing team's base. To capture a base, you must first destroy both of the bases' gatling turrets. Then, teleport inside the base and destroy the power core! (sniffs) Ahh, the sweet smell of victory!

Qwark: This is a node. Nodes are neutral objectives that can be captured by either team. There are usually several nodes placed throughout the map. You can capture a node by turning the bolt crank until the node turns your color. Capturing nodes gives your team access to various advantages including: vehicles, drones, special weapons, vulcan turrets, and spawn points!

Qwark: You can drive two different vehicles in a multiplayer match. The turboslider and my personal favorite, the hovership! All vehicles can be crewed by up to two players. A driver and a gunner.

Qwark: The radar display in the bottom-right corner of the screen shows the position of nearby teammates and enemies. Press R3 or select at any time to call up a full screen map of the level. If you are killed in a multiplayer game you will respawn on the battlefield after a few seconds. You can choose to respawn at any node controlled by your team or at your main base.

Qwark: Joining an online game is easy! Just select quick play from the main multiplayer menu and you will be automatically placed into a game with players of your own skill level!

Qwark: All right! Now you're ready to get out there and kick some butt! Let's get to it, Cadet!
