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.

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!
