Speaker 1 (00:17):
I couldn't believe Aunt vector had really discovered a whole
new world, and right underneath ours there were different colored trees,
a purple squirrel with wings, and a fire breathing pig.
And that was just stuff I saw one day down there.
Who knew how big this lost world was or what
could be living down there? The perfect environment for a
(00:39):
junior researcher like myself. Of course, I couldn't exactly go
researching or exploring anything since Aunt Vectra made me promise
not to go off alone. So there I was back
at the main base, stuck inside with Doctor Donna and
her bugs. So how exactly do these aphid lions help
(01:05):
us learn more about the lost world? You said the
other day? They give us clues, clues to what?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Hmmm, ah, well, terribly fascinating, isn't it. So these little
beauties carry junk, you see, everywhere they go, they collect
these little trash souvenirs. Well, we can study the junk
they've collected to discover where they've been.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So I'm not going to bore you with the grown
up sciencey breakdown doctor Donna gave me. Basically, I learned
that Globotech had been using a fed lions to pinpoint
where the entrances could be. Since the Lost world had
its own unique soil and trees and stuff, any a
fed lions that had been through or around the Lost
(01:46):
World entrance or opening would have collected tiny samples on
their back, kind of like mini tracking devices. Even I
had to admit it was kind of genius. That's actually
really cool.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, indeed, in fact, it's actually how we pinpointed Station
one's entrance.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, I get using the bugs, but you had to
know there was a lost world to find, right? How'd
Global Tech even know it was in this jungle?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's what everyone wants to know when they first doing
Globo Tech. The answer is the books. Of course, you're
on vector must have told you about the books.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Don't remember any books?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh how dreadful you a junior researcher and no clue
about the books. Let's remedy that, shall we. I have
one here.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Doctor Donna handed me this old looking book, I mean,
like really old looking. The cover was this dark brown,
cracked leather, and the pages were this yellowish coffee kind
of color, and they were really thin and almost crispy feeling.
I was pretty sure it was going to turn into
dust at any moment.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Believe it or not. People falling in out of different
worlds all the time. Imagine if you had found yourself
in a new world, what would you do as soon
as you got back?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I guess I would tell.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Someone, Yes, you would tell someone, and they would tell
someone else or ask you to repeat it over dinner,
And then over time it becomes a crazy story everyone
laughs at. But then more time goes on and details
get tweaked or exaggerated. Now your crazy story has become
a myth or a legend tucked away in a book
or a journal like this one you were.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Telling me Globotech used old stories and fairy tales to
find the lost world.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well this one, yes. It also helped that a solar
diamond found its way into our possession. A solar What
the solar diamond? Well, there's more than one now, so diamonds,
I guess. Agent Eleven's team brought a few back last night.
That was their mission.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Levin was carrying a bag back with him before the
fire pig attacked.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I can bet my right shoe that bag was filled
with solar diamonds, which means they should be in the
testing room. Now have you seen one yet? Oh well,
judging from your earlier confusion, I guess not. Would you
like to see one?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Would it mean taking a break from studying aphed lions?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Huh, we would need to walk over to the other
side of.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The base, then, of course I would excellent.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Don't worry, my little beauties, Petra, and I will be
back in a jiffy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Even if Globotech hadn't had things called solar diamonds, I
was desperate to stop staring at tiny bugs carrying garbage.
My dad always says that every creature has a special purpose,
But uh, I don't know. Hoarding trash isn't exactly something
I would call special.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The testing room is right at the end of the hallway.
There not just anyone is allowed inside. You know, you
need a special pass like this one.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
The testing lab was huge, bigger than any room I'd
seen in the main base so far. There were scientists everywhere,
some with lasers, some with microscopes. All were holding or
studying a shiny rock.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Welcome to the testing room. Globotech uses this room for
various things, but right now it's fully dedicated to the
study of the solar diamonds.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Study was an understatement. The scientists were doing everything from
trying to crack them open with hammers to blasting them
with lasers.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh, Dot, must get your wits about you in here.
Never know what might come flying towards your head.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
There's so much many of these solar diamonds. What's Global
tech using them for?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Do you see those scientists over there, the ones melting
the solar diamonds down. Recently we discovered the solar diamonds
can be used to create an incredibly strong metal alloy.
The Globo tech is going to be using this alloy
to help countries build stronger, safer buildings. At least that's
what I was told. Incredible, isn't it all that from
(06:26):
just one lost world?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was incredible because, according to doctor Donna, this alloy
made of solar diamonds could help a lot of people.
We stayed for a little bit watching the scientists melt
more solar diamonds down and mix it with metal to
create metal bars. Before I knew it, half an hour
had gone by.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh would you look at the time. Our poor aphed
lions must be wondering where we went. Come along, Petra, I.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Figured half an hour was long enough to avoid studying bugs,
so I follow doctor Donna back to her office. We
were just passing the lab holding the giant lion when
I heard it again, that voice. But this time it
wasn't saying help me. This time it was saying almost free,
almost free. That's when the alarm went off. One of
(07:21):
the animals that is gave this dade, not just any animal,
the giant lion.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
He just knocked down the middle door to the lab
had drop get back.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I should have been really scared seeing a lion walking
toward me, but something about this lion was friendly. No,
not friendly. Safe. Yeah, that's the best way to describe
what it felt like. I didn't get the feeling he
was going to hurt me. The voice is that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You agents get that lion.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Wait, don't hurt him, careful, true.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Shooting a pulse ripe one here is dangerous. What if
you hit the emergency sprinkles?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Said dumb.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
On that trip, look out, don't let that creature escape,
Miss Shade. Are you all right?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Just to scratch? I forgot how big that lion is
compared to our small hallways. He was tranquilized when we
brought him in, so his height and strength were not
things we had planned for. Really, we hadn't planned on
him escaping at all. I need to keep that in
mind for the future. But you're okay, right, Oh, nothing
(08:51):
some bandages and a good night's sleep won't fix. Besides,
our agents are trained to handle surprises like this. The
lion should be back and custody soon, Misshade. Agent eleven,
I hope you're here to give me some good news.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
He escaped, but one of the agents managed to catch
him with a tranquilizing dart, so he can't have gotten far.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Not ideal, but better than nothing. Ready, your best agents.
If we're going to recapture this line, I'm going to
be there to make sure it's done right. We leave
in twenty minutes. Doctor Donna, you'll be coming along as well.
If the line made it back to the Lost World,
I want to know where he's headed and why your
research skills would be invaluable.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Of course, Misshade.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Now, I'm not really scared of animals. Mom and Dad
always taught me that as long as I respect their territory,
they won't harm me. But when I saw Aunt Victor
holding her arm in pain. Suddenly, the idea of her
going into the jungle after that lion and leaving me
behind at the base, well kind of worried me. On
top of that, I was pretty sure i'd heard the
(10:04):
lion speak, well kind of. He was definitely connected to
that voice I'd been hearing, and I had to find
out how and why. I was the only one who
could hear it. So obviously, I asked my aunt Vectra,
in a very mature way, if I could come with her.
I'm coming too, Miss Shade. You can't allow this, absolutely not, Petra.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
We'll be tracking a very dangerous animal. Besides, it's getting dark.
The jungle, especially at night, is no place for a
kid teen and I know that. Yes, and what if
we find him? What then you could get hurt? Yes,
he only scratched me, But what if he does something
worse to you? No? No, no, no, your mom would
(10:48):
never forgive me after that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Please, please, please let me come with you, ont Vectra.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I I can help.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, you know, Mom and Dad taught me how to
track and interact with wild animal. I can help you
find him.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It would be helpful to have another researcher in the group.
Misshade allow us to cover more ground.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Of course you would encourage a child to come along.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Shouldn't you be gathering your agents?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, I should for a mission that should only consist
of adults. Please, I'll be very careful, I promise.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Fine, but only because the main base is currently in shambles.
Funnily enough, the safest place you can be is out
here in the jungle with me.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yes, I mean thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
You will stick by Doctor Donna the entire time. You
are not to approach the line or as it's the
agent's and its capture, and if anything goes wrong, I
am sending you back to this base immediately. Is that understood?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yes? Aunt Vector?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
What do I feel like I'm going to regret this?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Later? Within twenty minutes, Aunt Vector, Doctor Donna and I
were ready to go oh an Agent eleven and his team.
Of course, Agent's well vout. Turns out Aunt Victor would
regret taking me with her, and I would regret going
(12:14):
with her. But I guess that'll have to wait for
next time, won't it
I couldn't believe Aunt vector had really discovered a whole
new world, and right underneath ours there were different colored trees,
a purple squirrel with wings, and a fire breathing pig.
And that was just stuff I saw one day down there.
Who knew how big this lost world was or what
could be living down there? The perfect environment for a

junior researcher like myself. Of course, I couldn't exactly go
researching or exploring anything since Aunt Vectra made me promise
not to go off alone. So there I was back
at the main base, stuck inside with Doctor Donna and
her bugs. So how exactly do these aphid lions help
(01:05):
us learn more about the lost world? You said the
other day? They give us clues, clues to what?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Hmmm, ah, well, terribly fascinating, isn't it. So these little
beauties carry junk, you see, everywhere they go, they collect
these little trash souvenirs. Well, we can study the junk
they've collected to discover where they've been.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So I'm not going to bore you with the grown
up sciencey breakdown doctor Donna gave me. Basically, I learned
that Globotech had been using a fed lions to pinpoint
where the entrances could be. Since the Lost world had

really cool.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, indeed, in fact, it's actually how we pinpointed Station
one's entrance.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, I get using the bugs, but you had to
know there was a lost world to find, right? How'd
Global Tech even know it was in this jungle?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's what everyone wants to know when they first doing
Globo Tech. The answer is the books. Of course, you're
on vector must have told you about the books.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Don't remember any books?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh how dreadful you a junior researcher and no clue
about the books. Let's remedy that, shall we. I have
one here.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Doctor Donna handed me this old looking book, I mean,
like really old looking. The cover was this dark brown,
cracked leather, and the pages were this yellowish coffee kind
of color, and they were really thin and almost crispy feeling.
I was pretty sure it was going to turn into
dust at any moment.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Believe it or not. People falling in out of different
worlds all the time. Imagine if you had found yourself
in a new world, what would you do as soon
as you got back?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I guess I would tell.
Speaker 2 (03:14):

And then over time it becomes a crazy story everyone

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Telling me Globotech used old stories and fairy tales to
find the lost world.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well this one, yes. It also helped that a solar
diamond found its way into our possession. A solar What
the solar diamond? Well, there's more than one now, so diamonds,
I guess. Agent Eleven's team brought a few back last night.
That was their mission.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Levin was carrying a bag back with him before the
fire pig attacked.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I can bet my right shoe that bag was filled
with solar diamonds, which means they should be in the
testing room. Now have you seen one yet? Oh well,
judging from your earlier confusion, I guess not. Would you

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Would it mean taking a break from studying aphed lions?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Huh, we would need to walk over to the other

Speaker 1 (04:23):
The base, then, of course I would excellent.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Don't worry, my little beauties, Petra, and I will be

Even if Globotech hadn't had things called solar diamonds, I

My dad always says that every creature has a special purpose,
But uh, I don't know. Hoarding trash isn't exactly something
I would call special.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The testing room is right at the end of the hallway.
There not just anyone is allowed inside. You know, you

The testing lab was huge, bigger than any room I'd

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Do you see those scientists over there, the ones melting

can be used to create an incredibly strong metal alloy.
The Globo tech is going to be using this alloy
to help countries build stronger, safer buildings. At least that's

I should have been really scared seeing a lion walking

not friendly. Safe. Yeah, that's the best way to describe
what it felt like. I didn't get the feeling he
was going to hurt me. The voice is that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You agents get that lion.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Wait, don't hurt him, careful, true.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Shooting a pulse ripe one here is dangerous. What if
you hit the emergency sprinkles?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Said dumb.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
On that trip, look out, don't let that creature escape,

He escaped, but one of the agents managed to catch
him with a tranquilizing dart, so he can't have gotten far.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Not ideal, but better than nothing. Ready, your best agents.
If we're going to recapture this line, I'm going to
be there to make sure it's done right. We leave
in twenty minutes. Doctor Donna, you'll be coming along as well.
If the line made it back to the Lost World,
I want to know where he's headed and why your
research skills would be invaluable.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Of course, Misshade.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Now, I'm not really scared of animals. Mom and Dad
always taught me that as long as I respect their territory,
they won't harm me. But when I saw Aunt Victor
holding her arm in pain. Suddenly, the idea of her
going into the jungle after that lion and leaving me

that voice I'd been hearing, and I had to find
out how and why. I was the only one who
could hear it. So obviously, I asked my aunt Vectra,
in a very mature way, if I could come with her.
I'm coming too, Miss Shade. You can't allow this, absolutely not, Petra.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
We'll be tracking a very dangerous animal. Besides, it's getting dark.
The jungle, especially at night, is no place for a
kid teen and I know that. Yes, and what if
we find him? What then you could get hurt? Yes,
he only scratched me, But what if he does something
worse to you? No? No, no, no, your mom would
(10:48):
never forgive me after that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Please, please, please let me come with you, ont Vectra.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I I can help.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, you know, Mom and Dad taught me how to
track and interact with wild animal. I can help you
find him.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It would be helpful to have another researcher in the group.
Misshade allow us to cover more ground.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Of course you would encourage a child to come along.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Shouldn't you be gathering your agents?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, I should for a mission that should only consist
of adults. Please, I'll be very careful, I promise.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Fine, but only because the main base is currently in shambles.
Funnily enough, the safest place you can be is out
here in the jungle with me.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yes, I mean thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
You will stick by Doctor Donna the entire time. You
are not to approach the line or as it's the
agent's and its capture, and if anything goes wrong, I
am sending you back to this base immediately. Is that understood?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yes? Aunt Vector?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
What do I feel like I'm going to regret this?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Later? Within twenty minutes, Aunt Vector, Doctor Donna and I
were ready to go oh an Agent eleven and his team.
Of course, Agent's well vout. Turns out Aunt Victor would
regret taking me with her, and I would regret going
(12:14):
with her. But I guess that'll have to wait for
next time, won't it
