[Kyzil Plateau, Planet Veldin - 11:13am local time]

The scene opens with Ratchet walking over to a ship outside his garage for a home. He jumps onto a crate, then uses his wrench to start working on the engine inside it. After a few seconds, he stood back in silence, and then pressed a button on a glove on his left hand.

Helpdesk girl: Final step - attach Robotic Ignition System. Thank you for using helpdesk technology.

At that sight, Ratchet sighed, as he knew that he was getting much closer - but not quite - to his dream of becoming a space explorer.

[Meanwhile, in a factory on a nearby planet]

We see a conveyor belt, producing large robot warriors in great numbers. But all of a sudden, an error message came up on a computer screen. That resulted in Clank being spurted out. He looked at his surroundings, and came across a yellow robot at the other end of the room - an infobot. He looked at it, and it displayed a message for him. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a large sentry bot looked towards him. Once the infobot reached the end of the message, the robot came to try and swipe it from Clank, but he immediately took hold of it, ran out of the factory and slid down a slide, which lead right into a space shuttle. He took a grip of the controls, and that sent him blasting up high towards the sky. Two other large robots came soon afterwards, and they entered their respective ships and started chasing him.

[Approaching Planet Veldin - 11:47am local time]

The chase continued. Two plasma shots were fired towards Clank, who evaded them. With utter panic, he continued to try and lose the robot warriors, until a shot hit his ship in the back, sending him flying down towards the planet's surface.
