WEBVTT - E6 | The Missing Pieces

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, fam, Before we get back to the show, I

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>have some major news to tell you. For over a year,

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been building a brand new app called Button Plus

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>spelled bttn. So if you love our shows like Miles

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the Brave, Pixel Quest or Critter Protectors Parents, you're gonna

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>need to download our Button plus app to get unlimited

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>access to all of our Story Button and Mister Jim

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>shows completely add free. Thank you to everyone who has

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>supported us so far. It's truly amazing to have you

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a part of our family. From all of us here

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>at Story Button, we really couldn't continue to do this

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>without you, so it would be really helpful to us

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>if you went to the app store and searched for

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Button spelled bttn, gave it a download and a five

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>star review, that would be awesome. Thank you, and now

0:00:51.400 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>back to the show.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 2>After finding the old school recorder, we headed back to

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>HQ thinking we had the upper hand. The defeat we

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 2>felt when we saw those missing batteries was well like

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 2>something you never want to feel. That kind of kicking yourself,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>guilt and regret isn't something I'd ever wish on anyone,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>But we just had to keep putting one foot in

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>front of another. Yes, Von Smog tricked us big time,

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 2>but we had something valuable to him, and we were

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>about to add another important member to our team. A

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 2>tight knit team isn't something you can steal, that's for sure.

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Chin up, guys, nobody wins with the spirit of defeat.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Now we have a huge job to do. That contaminated

0:01:52.600 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 3>pond isn't going to clean itself. Marcus Gabe, Hello, anyone

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 3>who might be able to help with all this, or

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe someone more.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Qualified, someone interested in cleaning up dead fish.

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>That's a hard one.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 5>Hmmm.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 6>My sister's definitely qualified, probably overqualified, but she's doing an

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 6>internship right now and she's never home.

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that doesn't help us too much. Hey, Marcus, didn't

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>you mention someone you did a research project with this

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>last year? What's her name? Uh? Ali? I?

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I can't believe I didn't think of her first.

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 4>Ali pretty much ran our science class last year, and

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 4>let's just say she's much more qualified than most people

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>even teaching science. She's the one we need for sure.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like we found our person. Let's give her a call.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Wait now, no better time than the president, Marcus.

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 4>If you okay, just just give me a minute. I

0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 4>hope she remembers me.

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 5>Dude, it's been like two weeks since you were in

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 5>class together.

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, Yeah, I guess you're right. Okay, no time like

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 4>the present. At a boy here goes nothing.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 7>Hello.

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Hello? Is this is this Ali?

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? This is Alie.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Hey, this is Marcus from school. From science class. We

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 4>did a project last year.

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 7>Marcus, I remember you. How's it going. How's your summer bend?

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Good? Staying really uh busy?

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I remember mister Luke looked at me in motion to

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>get to the point already. I don't know what it

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>was about talking to kids at school that got me

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>all nervous. I guess it was the fact that I

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't feel like they knew I was good at anything

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>or had anything to offer. But mister Luke definitely pushed

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>me in that area, always making calls and chatting with

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>whoever would lend an ear. He smiled and gave me

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>an encourage thumbs up.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Actually, I was calling you because well, I recently joined

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 4>a team called the Critter Protectors. It's kind of a

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 4>long story and we've had a difficult start to say

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 4>the least, But I wondered if you might be interested

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 4>in hearing us out and maybe well joining the team.

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 7>Oh. I'm flattered that you think of me, but I'm

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 7>not sure if i'd be a good fit.

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 4>Alie. We both know you carried us through that project

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 4>last year. You're basically this mornest one in the whole school,

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 4>and we could really use some help right now.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 7>Well, I guess I could stop by tomorrow afternoon and

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 7>hear you out.

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Great.

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Our headquarters is over at s Biology Squad HQ.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 7>Awesome. I've actually always wanted to get an inside look

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 7>at that place.

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>Cool.

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 4>How about you come around noon?

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 7>Perfect?

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Thanks?

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:52.559
<v Speaker 4>Ali?

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Bye.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>The next day, Ali stopped by and met us all.

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>She loved the research that and the idea of making

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>a real difference. Once Ali saw the place, it was

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that she officially joined the team. We

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't even know how much of an asset she'd actually

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 2>be to us. After getting her all caught up on

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the O and D, the stinky pond, purple blimp spotting,

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 2>and all of our suspicious findings, Ali wasted no time

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>jumping into her role.

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 5>All right, everyone, let's start by cleaning the pond. I've

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 5>been dying to see this mess yikes, this is worse

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 5>than I thought.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's bad.

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, i'd say get a pond that going. We need

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 5>to get this algae taken care of. Then we can

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 5>add in some good bacteria.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 4>More bacteria.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, the good stuff will restore some balance and get

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 5>things healthy again. Break down the sludge and get ourselves

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 5>a clean pond.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, I trust you.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 3>What's first?

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 5>First we suit up and get these nasty dead fish

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 5>out of here.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 4>I was afraid you were gonna say that. Okay, I'll

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 4>go get the waiters.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll let your imagination fill in the gaps with the

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>rest of that job. And yes, we found another unfiltered

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>deep in the sludge that confirmed what we already thought.

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Stinkybreath planted the other one at the marina. The

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>only other thing I can remember about that job is

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>bags and bags of fish guts to dispose of.

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Ugh.

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 2>That smell stayed in my nose for days. Anyways, with

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>us three handling cleanup, mister Luke spent most of his

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 2>day barely looking up from his computer. He clicked and scrolled,

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 2>clicked and scrolled, searching for anything and everything that would

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 2>help us put the pieces together. About von Smogg, the

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>O and D Doctor Stinky Breath, and their next move.

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 3>Let's see something will show up if I search Eagle

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Eye metal logo. No, that's just a bunch of collectible coins.

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 3>How about O and D Eagle projects. This just isn't

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 3>getting me anywhere, mister Luke. Oh sorry, I didn't realize

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 3>you guys were done already.

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, done for now. Marcus went straight home. Too many

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 5>fish guts all over him to walk in here.

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Yikes. Well, I've been reading through articles for hours here

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>without much to show for it. I was hoping i'd

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 3>have made some connections by now. All this stuff, the recorder,

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 3>the strange symbols. There just has to be something I'm missing.

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 5>This unfilter in this metal.

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Thing, it's a stinger that kind of started this whole mess.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.239
<v Speaker 3>Those prongs went straight into my tire. See that mark,

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 3>This Eagle Eye keeps coming back. It seems some kind

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 3>of logo or secret code name.

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, I like research, as you know. If you want,

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.239
<v Speaker 5>I could see if I can make any headway at home.

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>That would be great. Ali, I'd really be in over

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 3>my head without you guys.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'll get a new system rigged for our traveling

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 6>crewter enclosure, but there's nothing to keep them powered when

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 6>we're out. I'm afraid those battery packs and chargers aren't

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 6>the easiest things to replace.

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Wow, thanks Gabe Man again, I'd be lost without you. Guys.

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 5>We're in this together, mister Luke, totally. I'll see you tomorrow. Guys.

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Bye, Alie, see you tomorrow.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>When Ali made it home that night, she didn't waste

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>any time. Her parents were used to her having projects

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 2>to work on. She tried to always have something taking

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 2>up her time. As soon as she finished dinner, Ali

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.199
<v Speaker 2>jumped on her computer. What most people didn't realize, including me,

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 2>at that point, was that Ali used her brains and

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 2>knack for science as a way to kind of cover

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 2>up what she didn't really feel good at. Her sister, Sarah,

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 2>was an amazing gymnast. Most weekends in her family were

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>scheduled around meats and competitions. Ali's parents tried to convince

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>her to do gymnastics too, but it just wasn't her thing.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Staying busy meant less time to be pestered about being

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 2>an athlete.

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Now, to get to the bottom of the stuff

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 5>once and for all, there has to be something out

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 5>there that can give us some answers. This is fun

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 5>and all, but I'm going on two hours of nothing.

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 5>Wait is that a picture of doctor Stinkybreath and Victor

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 5>von Smock.

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Huh?

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 5>Why are they shaking hands with that guy? And what

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 5>is this article? Operation of Nature's Destruction makes Peace Treaty

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 5>with Endangered Enterprise? Wait until I show the team.

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 2>The next day, Ali came rushing into the critter queue

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and startled us all. She flung her bag on the

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 2>closest chair and pulled out her laptop faster than you

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>can say, critter.

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Everybody, look at this. I found something last night.

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Check this out.

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 5>No way, are you kidding me?

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Doctor Stinky Breath and Victor von Schmock. What kind of treaty?

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Is this? An endangered enterprise?

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Mister Luke, haven't we heard of endangered enterprise before?

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 3>The message on my computer? Marcus, You're right. Listen, guys,

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 3>all the pieces are starting to come together.

0:10:54.840 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 5>The structure it's taken. So now the question is do

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 5>we have three villains or do we have an ally?

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 5>This endangered enterprise?

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Great question. I guess that's another thing we need to

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 3>figure out.
