After Clank escaped imprisonment within the Great Clock with assistance from Sigmund, he was trapped on a balcony with no escape and confronted by Nefarious and Lawrence. After a short conversation, Nefarious ordered Lawrence to prepare the device. He then walked away from Clank's position so that he would not be caught in the blast. Lawrence pulled it out, and upon activation, it began spinning and floated towards Clank. It then turned into a cylindrical shape and spun much faster as it let out a small energy blast. This paralyzed Clank, causing him to freeze solid and fall to the floor, stiff and unconscious. He was then recaptured.
