1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hey, fam, Before we get back to the show, I

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: have some major news to tell you. For over a year,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: I've been building a brand new app called Button Plus

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: spelled bttn. So if you love our shows like Miles

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: the Brave, Pixel Quest or Critter Protectors Parents, you're gonna

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: need to download our Button plus app to get unlimited

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: access to all of our Story Button and Mister Jim

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: shows completely add free. Thank you to everyone who has

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: supported us so far. It's truly amazing to have you

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: a part of our family. From all of us here

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: at Story Button, we really couldn't continue to do this

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: without you, so it would be really helpful to us

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: if you went to the app store and searched for

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: Button spelled bttn, gave it a download and a five

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: star review, that would be awesome. Thank you, and now

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: back to the show.

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: After finding the old school recorder, we headed back to

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: HQ thinking we had the upper hand. The defeat we

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: felt when we saw those missing batteries was well like

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: something you never want to feel. That kind of kicking yourself,

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: guilt and regret isn't something I'd ever wish on anyone,

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: But we just had to keep putting one foot in

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: front of another. Yes, Von Smog tricked us big time,

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: but we had something valuable to him, and we were

25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: about to add another important member to our team. A

26
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: tight knit team isn't something you can steal, that's for sure.

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: Chin up, guys, nobody wins with the spirit of defeat.

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: Now we have a huge job to do. That contaminated

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: pond isn't going to clean itself. Marcus Gabe, Hello, anyone

30
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: who might be able to help with all this, or

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: maybe someone more.

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: Qualified, someone interested in cleaning up dead fish.

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: That's a hard one.

34
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 5: Hmmm.

35
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 6: My sister's definitely qualified, probably overqualified, but she's doing an

36
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 6: internship right now and she's never home.

37
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't help us too much. Hey, Marcus, didn't

38
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: you mention someone you did a research project with this

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: last year? What's her name? Uh? Ali? I?

40
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: Yes, I can't believe I didn't think of her first.

41
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: Ali pretty much ran our science class last year, and

42
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: let's just say she's much more qualified than most people

43
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: even teaching science. She's the one we need for sure.

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: Sounds like we found our person. Let's give her a call.

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: Wait now, no better time than the president, Marcus.

46
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: If you okay, just just give me a minute. I

47
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: hope she remembers me.

48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 5: Dude, it's been like two weeks since you were in

49
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 5: class together.

50
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I guess you're right. Okay, no time like

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: the present. At a boy here goes nothing.

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 7: Hello.

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: Hello? Is this is this Ali?

54
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 7: Yeah? This is Alie.

55
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: Hey, this is Marcus from school. From science class. We

56
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: did a project last year.

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 7: Marcus, I remember you. How's it going. How's your summer bend?

58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: Oh? Good? Staying really uh busy?

59
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: I remember mister Luke looked at me in motion to

60
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: get to the point already. I don't know what it

61
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: was about talking to kids at school that got me

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: all nervous. I guess it was the fact that I

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: didn't feel like they knew I was good at anything

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: or had anything to offer. But mister Luke definitely pushed

65
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: me in that area, always making calls and chatting with

66
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: whoever would lend an ear. He smiled and gave me

67
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: an encourage thumbs up.

68
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: Actually, I was calling you because well, I recently joined

69
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: a team called the Critter Protectors. It's kind of a

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: long story and we've had a difficult start to say

71
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: the least, But I wondered if you might be interested

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: in hearing us out and maybe well joining the team.

73
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 7: Oh. I'm flattered that you think of me, but I'm

74
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 7: not sure if i'd be a good fit.

75
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: Alie. We both know you carried us through that project

76
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: last year. You're basically this mornest one in the whole school,

77
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: and we could really use some help right now.

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 7: Well, I guess I could stop by tomorrow afternoon and

79
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 7: hear you out.

80
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: Great.

81
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: Our headquarters is over at s Biology Squad HQ.

82
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 7: Awesome. I've actually always wanted to get an inside look

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 7: at that place.

84
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: Cool.

85
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: How about you come around noon?

86
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 7: Perfect?

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: Thanks?

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 4: Ali?

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: Bye.

90
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: The next day, Ali stopped by and met us all.

91
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: She loved the research that and the idea of making

92
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: a real difference. Once Ali saw the place, it was

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: as simple as that she officially joined the team. We

94
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: didn't even know how much of an asset she'd actually

95
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: be to us. After getting her all caught up on

96
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: the O and D, the stinky pond, purple blimp spotting,

97
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: and all of our suspicious findings, Ali wasted no time

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: jumping into her role.

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 5: All right, everyone, let's start by cleaning the pond. I've

100
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 5: been dying to see this mess yikes, this is worse

101
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 5: than I thought.

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bad.

103
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: Well, i'd say get a pond that going. We need

104
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 5: to get this algae taken care of. Then we can

105
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: add in some good bacteria.

106
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 4: More bacteria.

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: Yes, the good stuff will restore some balance and get

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: things healthy again. Break down the sludge and get ourselves

109
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 5: a clean pond.

110
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I trust you.

111
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: What's first?

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 5: First we suit up and get these nasty dead fish

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: out of here.

114
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: I was afraid you were gonna say that. Okay, I'll

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: go get the waiters.

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: I'll let your imagination fill in the gaps with the

117
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: rest of that job. And yes, we found another unfiltered

118
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: deep in the sludge that confirmed what we already thought.

119
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: Doctor Stinkybreath planted the other one at the marina. The

120
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: only other thing I can remember about that job is

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: bags and bags of fish guts to dispose of.

122
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: Ugh.

123
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: That smell stayed in my nose for days. Anyways, with

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: us three handling cleanup, mister Luke spent most of his

125
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: day barely looking up from his computer. He clicked and scrolled,

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: clicked and scrolled, searching for anything and everything that would

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 2: help us put the pieces together. About von Smogg, the

128
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: O and D Doctor Stinky Breath, and their next move.

129
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: Let's see something will show up if I search Eagle

130
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: Eye metal logo. No, that's just a bunch of collectible coins.

131
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: How about O and D Eagle projects. This just isn't

132
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: getting me anywhere, mister Luke. Oh sorry, I didn't realize

133
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: you guys were done already.

134
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, done for now. Marcus went straight home. Too many

135
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: fish guts all over him to walk in here.

136
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: Yikes. Well, I've been reading through articles for hours here

137
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: without much to show for it. I was hoping i'd

138
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: have made some connections by now. All this stuff, the recorder,

139
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: the strange symbols. There just has to be something I'm missing.

140
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: This unfilter in this metal.

141
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: Thing, it's a stinger that kind of started this whole mess.

142
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 3: Those prongs went straight into my tire. See that mark,

143
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: This Eagle Eye keeps coming back. It seems some kind

144
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: of logo or secret code name.

145
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 5: Well, I like research, as you know. If you want,

146
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 5: I could see if I can make any headway at home.

147
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: That would be great. Ali, I'd really be in over

148
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: my head without you guys.

149
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 6: Well, I'll get a new system rigged for our traveling

150
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 6: crewter enclosure, but there's nothing to keep them powered when

151
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 6: we're out. I'm afraid those battery packs and chargers aren't

152
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 6: the easiest things to replace.

153
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: Wow, thanks Gabe Man again, I'd be lost without you. Guys.

154
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: We're in this together, mister Luke, totally. I'll see you tomorrow. Guys.

155
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 3: Bye, Alie, see you tomorrow.

156
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: When Ali made it home that night, she didn't waste

157
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: any time. Her parents were used to her having projects

158
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: to work on. She tried to always have something taking

159
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: up her time. As soon as she finished dinner, Ali

160
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: jumped on her computer. What most people didn't realize, including me,

161
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: at that point, was that Ali used her brains and

162
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: knack for science as a way to kind of cover

163
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: up what she didn't really feel good at. Her sister, Sarah,

164
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: was an amazing gymnast. Most weekends in her family were

165
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: scheduled around meats and competitions. Ali's parents tried to convince

166
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: her to do gymnastics too, but it just wasn't her thing.

167
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: Staying busy meant less time to be pestered about being

168
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 2: an athlete.

169
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 5: Okay, Now, to get to the bottom of the stuff

170
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: once and for all, there has to be something out

171
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: there that can give us some answers. This is fun

172
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 5: and all, but I'm going on two hours of nothing.

173
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: Wait is that a picture of doctor Stinkybreath and Victor

174
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: von Smock.

175
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: Huh?

176
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: Why are they shaking hands with that guy? And what

177
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: is this article? Operation of Nature's Destruction makes Peace Treaty

178
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 5: with Endangered Enterprise? Wait until I show the team.

179
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: The next day, Ali came rushing into the critter queue

180
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: and startled us all. She flung her bag on the

181
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: closest chair and pulled out her laptop faster than you

182
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: can say, critter.

183
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 5: Everybody, look at this. I found something last night.

184
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: Check this out.

185
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 5: No way, are you kidding me?

186
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: Doctor Stinky Breath and Victor von Schmock. What kind of treaty?

187
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Is this? An endangered enterprise?

188
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 4: Mister Luke, haven't we heard of endangered enterprise before?

189
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: The message on my computer? Marcus, You're right. Listen, guys,

190
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: all the pieces are starting to come together.

191
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: The structure it's taken. So now the question is do

192
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: we have three villains or do we have an ally?

193
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: This endangered enterprise?

194
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: Great question. I guess that's another thing we need to

195
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: figure out.
