Speaker 1: Hey, fam, Before we get back to the show, I
Speaker 1: have some major news to tell you. For over a year,
Speaker 1: I've been building a brand new app called Button Plus
Speaker 1: spelled bttn. So if you love our shows like Miles
Speaker 1: the Brave, Pixel Quest or Critter Protectors Parents, You're gonna
Speaker 1: need to download our Button plus app to get unlimited
Speaker 1: access to all of our Story Button and Mister Jim
Speaker 1: shows completely add free. Thank you to everyone who has
Speaker 1: supported us so far. It's truly amazing to have you
Speaker 1: a part of our family. From all of us here
Speaker 1: at Story Button, we really couldn't continue to do this
Speaker 1: without you, so it would be really helpful to us
Speaker 1: if you went to the app store and searched for
Speaker 1: Button spelled bttn, gave it a download and a five
Speaker 1: star review. That would be awesome.
Speaker 2: Thank you, and now back to the show.
Speaker 3: Professor Roger Anderson the key to figuring out in Endangered Enterprise.
Speaker 3: Who would have thought that a professor at our town's
Speaker 3: community college would be the one? And when mister Luke
Speaker 3: met him after class, even he wasn't so sure Roger
Speaker 3: would be the guy to piece it all together. I
Speaker 3: remember mister Luke packing his backpack up and heading out
Speaker 3: the door. It's kind of funny how he actually looked
Speaker 3: like a student going to his first day of class.
Speaker 3: I guess it was good that he blended in, though,
Speaker 3: after all, he wasn't there to be a bother walking
Speaker 3: in with a whole critter protector uniform would probably draw
Speaker 3: a bit too much attention. Mister Luke parked near the
Speaker 3: main entrance and headed in towards the science wing.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: I made pretty good time grab a snack or something.
Speaker 5: No way, I can't believe it. An American green tree frog.
Speaker 5: And right here on the light post of all places.
Speaker 5: Hey there, little guy, what are you doing out in
Speaker 5: the open like this?
Speaker 4: Hey there, boy? Oh, what do you got there?
Speaker 5: A green tree frog? He must have braved it over
Speaker 5: here for all the nighttime bugs. It's like a feast
Speaker 5: around these lights.
Speaker 4: Well, there's a pond right there at the back of
Speaker 4: the parking lot.
Speaker 5: Thanks. I'm pretty sure this guy is an American green
Speaker 5: tree frog. He wouldn't make it in water like other frogs,
Speaker 5: but those trees back there will be perfect.
Speaker 4: Ah, you learn something new every day, I guess. Well,
Speaker 4: now the missus is looking for me to get home,
Speaker 4: and they must be going. Don't want to keep her
Speaker 4: waiting too long. I have a good night now, boyo
Speaker 4: you two.
Speaker 5: Let's see the science wing. Ah, there it is wing
Speaker 5: se second floor, and there's the elevator. Man, I didn't
Speaker 5: realize how late it was already greater time just seems
Speaker 5: to move slower than real time.
Speaker 4: Going up.
Speaker 5: Yes, second floor, thanks, okay, even numbers are to the right.
Speaker 5: Almost there. Well there it is two o.
Speaker 6: Two now really really fascinating stuff.
Speaker 5: I guess I'll just camp out here until he's done.
Speaker 5: There's no way I could slip into class now. Who
Speaker 5: puts the door at the front of the classroom? This
Speaker 5: guy sure seems like he knows his stuff, though, I
Speaker 5: wonder what he did with Endangered Enterprise?
Speaker 3: Why did he leave?
Speaker 5: I'll just have to try and get some answers without
Speaker 5: seeming like a bad guy.
Speaker 3: Mister Luke sat at a small study table outside Professor
Speaker 3: Anderson's classroom for two more hours. He tried to come
Speaker 3: up with some way to ask him all the questions
Speaker 3: he had without being too suspicious. The last thing we
Speaker 3: needed was someone thinking we were the ones who need
Speaker 3: to be stopped. Really, Roger wasn't anyone to be worried about.
Speaker 3: He was used to questions. Being a professor, you have
Speaker 3: to be okay with questions. I think what startled him
Speaker 3: was the that we were up against a villain he
Speaker 3: knew personally, a villain he wished he could forget.
Speaker 5: Hey, mister, I mean professor Anderson, that's my name.
Speaker 6: What can I do for you? Questions about geode structures,
Speaker 6: undiscovered diamonds, something else.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I'm not a student. I mean those sound cool
Speaker 5: and all, but I was hoping I could borrow a
Speaker 5: few minutes of your time.
Speaker 6: Sure, I have a minute, but you're not selling me
Speaker 6: any of those candy bars with the drama team down there,
Speaker 6: are you? I already brought home too many of those
Speaker 6: things to the kiddo back home. That sugar had miles
Speaker 6: wide awake until ten pm last night. Ha Hey, anyways,
Speaker 6: sorry you're saying, don't.
Speaker 5: Worry, not selling any candy this evening, But I might
Speaker 5: just have to get myself one of those on my
Speaker 5: way out. Anyways, my name's Luke. I actually came down
Speaker 5: from Biology Squad HQ. Well, Gritter Protectors HQ. Maybe you've
Speaker 5: heard of us?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yes, who hasn't heard of Biology Squad? Around here.
Speaker 5: Our division specializes in helping animals, removing unfilters from algae
Speaker 5: filled ponds, saving animals. Oh okay, sorry anyways, the reason
Speaker 5: I'm here is because we desperately need to know about
Speaker 5: Endangered Enterprise.
Speaker 6: You better step into the classroom. Endangered Enterprise. How'd you
Speaker 6: hear about that group? How did you know to find me?
Speaker 5: Well, we kind of stumbled upon your name. You see,
Speaker 5: we've been on the search for some answers about operations
Speaker 5: of Nature's destruction THEND heard of them, Yes.
Speaker 6: I've heard of them. They shouldn't be active anymore. The
Speaker 6: tree should have.
Speaker 2: Stopped at all.
Speaker 5: That's what I thought, Professor. We have reason to believe
Speaker 5: the OEND has broken its treaty with Endangered Enterprise. But
Speaker 5: if we don't really know anything else, I was hoping
Speaker 5: you'd be able to help.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 6: Look, I left in Dangered Enterprise years ago. It was
Speaker 6: too dangerous, dangerous. They're not dangerous. The work was traveling,
Speaker 6: protecting geological wonders, fighting off groups like the OND. Not
Speaker 6: quite the work for a family.
Speaker 5: Guy, I see.
Speaker 6: But if you're looking at talk with them directly, your
Speaker 6: best bet isn't.
Speaker 5: Me, Professor. We have to get in touch with them.
Speaker 5: Time isn't necessary something we have a lot of. We
Speaker 5: think the OND might be scheming up something much worse.
Speaker 5: We got some kind of ENCRYPTID message and there's this
Speaker 5: strange marking on everything they use, like an eagle eye
Speaker 5: or something. It's like they have a bigger plan, one
Speaker 5: we don't know about yet.
Speaker 6: Eagle eye. Ugh, it's a Falcon. That's the project we
Speaker 6: were supposed to have shut down with that treaty years ago.
Speaker 6: If they're back at it, you're gonna have to act fast.
Speaker 6: Here take this card.
Speaker 3: What is this?
Speaker 6: This is the only way to contact Endangered Enterprise. You're
Speaker 6: going to need to call this number, but only when
Speaker 6: you have an SOS call. This line goes directly to
Speaker 6: their headquarters and directly to their emergency line. When they
Speaker 6: ask you for your account number, what they're really asking
Speaker 6: for is a password only EE knows. Rebel Falcon returns
Speaker 6: this SOS message will bring them straight to you.
Speaker 5: Wait straight to me. What do you mean you'll see?
Speaker 6: Trust me? That's all I can help you with. I've
Speaker 6: already told you too much, but what you're up against
Speaker 6: is bigger than me keeping EE secrets.
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 5: Really, I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 6: You're welcome and good luck, Luke. I'm afraid you're sure
Speaker 6: gonna need it.
Speaker 3: Although mister Luke left that night with more questions than ever,
Speaker 3: he knew that what Professor Anderson told him was the
Speaker 3: most important piece of information we'd gotten so far.
Speaker 5: My tire, the unfilter. Could these just have been the
Speaker 5: O and d's ways of distracting us? Were those just
Speaker 5: planted there for us to stay busy on the wrong things?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 5: I just don't know.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 5: That's a new sound and it's coming from my wallet.
Speaker 5: It's the SOS card. Is this like a tracer or something?
Speaker 3: Thinking back, the real problem was that they the ond
Speaker 3: that is, had our batteries the source of power for
Speaker 3: the beginning of their big plan. If only we'd known
Speaker 3: what exactly this project was a little earlier, maybe we
Speaker 3: would have stopped it in time. Maybe we could have
Speaker 3: saved ourselves a lot of trouble. But then would we
Speaker 3: be the critter protectors I think of today? Would we
Speaker 3: really have stuck together if our problems weren't so problematic?
Speaker 3: Who knows? What I do know is that the next
Speaker 3: series of events almost pushed us to our breaking point,
Speaker 3: and It led us to our real mission to save
Speaker 3: the world.
