there, ratchet and clank learn that nefarious has constructed a weapon called the biobliterator, but are unable to find any information on it. they also find a music video produced by pop star courtney gears (melissa disney) (a robotic parody of britney spears), in which she instructs robots to destroy organic lifeforms. clank sets up a meeting with gears, but she renders him unconscious and turns him over to dr. nefarious. aware of clank's fame as the star of "secret agent clank", nefarious asks him to serve as the face of his plan to wipe out all organic races, but he refuses. in response, nefarious creates an evil double named klunk (also voiced by kaye) and has him take clank's place. unaware of the deception, ratchet undertakes a mission with skidd to investigate enemy activity on the obani moons. when ratchet returns to the phoenix, gears abducts skidd and turns him into a robot. ratchet confronts and disables her in combat, then gets skidd to safety. meanwhile, sasha locates nefarious' ship, the leviathan, at a remote spaceport, and sends him and qwark to apprehend the doctor. nefarious reveals that the whole encounter is a trap, and he activates the leviathan's self-destruct system before escaping. qwark refuses to leave, citing the need to gather intel, and seemingly perishes when the ship explodes.
