The next adventure began one normal, uneventful day in Meridian City. Kim was going along the streets of the city with Ratchet and Clank, doing some errands; mostly shopping. She was holding an electronic clipboard, checking off a few things. She was in her regular clothes, which consisted of a white t-shirt with a heart on it, pink pants and white sneakers. Kim: "Alright, so that's a few things that we managed to find. We just have a few more stores to check and then we should be all done."

Ratchet and Clank were carrying a few huge bags containing a lot of stuff. They both seemed very unhappy. Ratchet: "Well, that's just great. Let's hope that Clank and I don't end up collapsing before we make it to those stores." Clank: "Honestly, Miss Possible, are obtaining all of these objects really quite necessary?" Kim: "Oh, Clank, of course it is; I could never too much." Ratchet: "Too bad the same can't be said for us carrying this around!" Kim: "And besides, not all of this is for me. Monique asked me to pick up a few things. You know, for her new job?" Ratchet: "Oh, yeah! I know about that! She found employment at a designer warehouse." Clank: "Ah, yes. I hear that she is applying her skills most effectively." Ratchet: "Plus, her employers and co-workers are actually listening to her. About time, I mean, geez, she was being wasted at Club Banana, so I'm happy that she's found someplace better." Kim: "So am I."

She looked up towards the sky for a bit. Clank took notice of this almost immediately. Clank: "Is there something the matter, Miss Possible?" Kim: "Hm?"

She looked back towards the guys. Kim: "Um…it…it's nothing. I just…"

She looked back towards the sky again. Kim: "I…I want to thank you guys for helping me with this. This is a very important step in Monique's career and I really feel that she will make a life for herself from this." Ratchet: "Oh, no problem, Kimberly. You know that we're supportive towards her career choices."

Kim looked back towards Ratchet with a somewhat humored look on her face. Kim: "Even if her choices involved staying with Club Banana?" Ratchet: "Uh, yeah! Of course! I've always supported that!" Kim: "Uh-huh…yeah…kind of hard for me to pick up on that during all of those times that you've insulted the store as well as the entire company; you even mentioned that she was dumb for working for the company." Ratchet: "I didn't say she was dumb! I said it was stupid of her to continue working for such an idiotic chain store! Then again, I expect nothing less from a bunch of primitive creatures who believe that one major difference between 2 very similar sets of clothes is a flimsy little banana sticker, which I despise more than the worst case of stomach sickness possible." Clank: "Ah, yes and they have very much improved upon your seemingly flawless marksmanship." Ratchet: "Oh, yeah, but….you know something? I honestly believe that Club Banana would have become a better company if Monique had stayed with them. There would have been a lot of improvements made to the company if the CEOs had just listened to what she had to tell them instead of shutting her out and treating her like a lowly, insignificant employee, but no, the bigwigs thought that they knew better just because they run the whole thing, so….they seriously lost out." Clank: "Oh, I agree, she would have most certainly been a most valuable asset to them had she been given the chance."

Ratchet nodded once, Kim seemed awfully touched by their words. Just then, a portable screen came on from within Clank. Clank: "Incoming call from Talwyn."

The screen turned on, displayed on the screen was Talwyn. Talwyn: "Guys, we need you over here at Mission Control. There's something that you should check out." Kim: "Alright, Tal. We're be on our way. Let's go, guys."

Kim ran off. Ratchet: "K-Kimberly, wait!"

Ratchet and Clank went after her as they were still carrying all of the bags of stuff that she made them carry around. Ratchet: "Can't we at least call for a taxi…or something to send all of this stuff to your apartment? Kimberly? Kimberly!"

Later on, they arrived at mission central. Kim: "Alright, Tal, we got here as fast as we possibly could. What's the sitch?" Talwyn: "I'm glad that you guys did get here. There's something that's been going on and I don't like it one bit. Within the past few hours, we've noticed an unusual increase in criminal activity throughout the entire galaxy. They seem to be slight, though because they're spread out to many of the different sectors, but still, it's alarming." Ratchet: "Do you have any ideas on what could be causing this?" Talwyn: "Well, I've spent a lot of time talking about it with Wade and he's been looking into what could be causing this." Clank: "Did he manage to find out anything?" Talwyn: "Well…last time I spoke with him, he found some unusual readings on the planet Tourmalia." Kim: "Tourmalia? Isn't that the planet with all of those glamorous cities?" Talwyn: "Yep, the very same." Ratchet: "Huh, we haven't been on that planet since that time we chased down Camille." Clank: "Ah, yes, I remember that very well." Ratchet: "So, what do you say, guys? Should we take on this mission?" Kim: "Tch! You kidding me? I am so all over this."

She then pulled out the Kimmunicator, placed it on her right wrist and dialed on it a bit. Ratchet: "Uh, yeah, of course, why did I even need to…"

At that moment, a strange sound was heard, Ratchet, Clank and Talwyn watched something with awestruck looks on their faces. Within a few seconds, Kim was in her mission outfit. Kim: "Let's summon Aphelion here so that we can head over to planet Tourmalia pronto."

Clank and Talwyn nodded, however, Ratchet was still awestruck, he then became mesmerized. Ratchet: "That still looks as amazing as ever." Clank: "Um…Ratchet?" Ratchet: "Huh, was is it, pal?" Clank: "Are you not going to summon Aphelion here?" Ratchet: "Um, right! Yeah! Of course! I'll…I'll get to it!"

Ratchet walked off, Kim and Clank exchanged awkward looks with each other, Clank held his hands up and shrugged his shoulders. They then walked after Ratchet.

Shortly afterwards, Aphelion arrived. Kim: "Aphelion, we're glad to see you again." Ratchet: "This isn't a social call. We have another mission. We need to return to the planet Tourmalia." Aphelion: "Certainly. Hop in."

All 3 of them got into the ship, took off and flew out of the city and off the planet.

They were flying through space on their way to the planet Tourmalia. Ratchet: "Clank, see if you can get Wade on the line."

Clank did just that. Shortly afterwards, Wade appeared on the screen. Wade: "Hey, guys. I'm so glad to be speaking with you again." Ratchet: "Same here, Wade. So, what's the sitch?" Wade: "I guess Talwyn had informed you on what's been going on. My readings indicate that you guys are heading for planet Tourmalia." Kim: "Yeah, she did inform us on what's been happening, but…" Clank: "It seems as though you do not have a lot of intel regarding this current situation." Wade: "Unfortunately, you would be right about that, Clank." Kim: "Well, this is an indication that this is just the start of the whole thing." Wade: "That's true, too. There is a lot that we don't know, which is very typical at the start of any mission. I'm currently looking into this. In the meantime, I did pick up on a strange reading within once of the cities on Tourmalia named Quartz City." Kim: "Got it, we're on our way now."

They continue through space until they arrived at the planet Tourmalia. There, they made their way towards Quartz City. They soon landed in the middle of the city and got out of the ship. Kim went on the Kimmunicator. Kim: "Wade, can you track down that strange reading within the city?" Wade: "I'm able to pinpoint where it's coming from. It's due North-North West of your current location." Kim: "Got it, let's go." Wade: "Uh, one other thing before you get started. I have a surprise for you."

Soon enough, Wade's vendor appeared. Emerging from it was the infobot; someone that they haven't seen in a while. Kim: "Hey! It's you again! I haven't seen you since our previous mission!" Clank: "It is good to see you again." Ratchet: "I'll say."

The infobot attached herself to Kim back just like she did before. Wade: "Dr. Possible and I have spent a lot of time working on her modifications. We've made a ton of improvements on her, so she should be able to function a lot better than during the previous mission." Ratchet: "Something tells me that we're going to need it." Kim: "Let's get going, you guys."

Clank attached himself to Ratchet's harness like he always does, then Ratchet and Kim rushed off.
