Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, friends, Welcome to his Biology Squad. We are a
team of spies who specialize in science. You see, Doctor
Stinky Breath in the Purple Ninjas are trying to take
over the world through science, and it is up to
us to stop them before it is too late.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
On the last episode, we saw that some kind of
stinky vine thing has started covering the entire city like
a giant green blanket, and the Purple Blimp has just
taken off for who knows where. Ava is gonna follow it,
but let's see what happens next. Meanwhile, the blimp had

(00:47):
just left doctor Stinkybreath's house and was headed towards the
Queen's castle. The Purple Ninjas were headed out to gather
a whole fields worth of that skunk vine, you know,
that really smelly vine. Queen Ginger had genetically modified this
skunk vine so that it's super stinky vines, grows incredibly

(01:07):
fast and can take over a whole ecosystem. It's a
good thing that it was now nighttime because it helped Avus.
They hidden behind the blimp.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
A kind of like driving at night.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yet me neither, I'm scared of owls. They always come
out at nighttime.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
You're scared of owls. Owls aren't very scary.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Oh, yes they are. It's the look at their eyes
very creepy. Hey, I think David have lasers they shoot
out of their eyeballs. Right.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, anyway, I think we should be safe here in
the blimp. I think you have maybe another hour or
so and then we should be there. Steve, Steve, where
are you going?

Speaker 4 (01:56):
I'm gonna go get a bush, like, I need to
make sure there's no owls in here.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Steve, there's no owls in the blamp.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Back at HQ, mister Jim and Jayden were in the
back room grabbing two more flamethrowers. Oh, mister Jim on
like coming in this back room all these cobwebs.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Not a fan?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh yeah, remember when we came back here to get
the time machine, you got.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Covered in cobwebs? Yes, how could I forget? Said Jaden.
I can even still feel it.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But anyways, Uh, why do we need flame throwers with
the help of the fire department. We need to start
killing vines before they take over the whole town.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Now that we know.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
From your testing that we are dealing with skunk vines,
we know that we have to get rid of those
invasive plants. Mister Jim, what does invasive mean? Oh, invasive
means that it's something that doesn't belong here. You see,
every ecosystem has plants and animals that have always been there.
We call those plants and animals native to that ecosystem.

(03:08):
Every ecosystem works to find its balance with the plants
and animals that natively live there. Oh, I get it,
mister Jim. So if something comes in that doesn't belong,
does it mess up that balance? Exactly, Jaden. Invasive species
can often run wild because there aren't any predators or

(03:30):
other species to keep them in check. That's exactly why
we're worried about the skunk finds. We don't want them
to destroy the balance of our ecosystem. Oh, those skunk
finds are gonna pay for this.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
It's flame dough in time.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Whoa, whoa whoa.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Jaden controlled burning is a very dangerous job that requires
us to be super duper careful. That's why we're gonna
be working together with the fire department on this job. Wait,
mister Jim, if we use a flamethrower, isn't that also
gonna burn the native species too, Yes, that will happen, Jaden.

(04:10):
Fire though, is a natural part of ecosystems. It's kind
of like giving this ecosystem a fresh start. It removes
all the old dead things and the invasive species, which
give the native plants and animals the chance to reset
that balance. But don't worry, We'll make sure the fire
moves slow enough to give all the animals the time

(04:31):
to move out of the way.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Oh gods, smooth.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Hey guys, this is Ava. Are you there over? Sh Hey, Ava,
how's it going? Sh The blim looks like it's starting
to land by a huge field that is completely full
of those vines.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Sh Oh, no, there's more, Ava.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm gonna send our water drones to you to help
you do a controlled burn of all those vines. The
Purple Ninjas must be the ones spreading the vines everywhere.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Sh roger that.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'll prepare my flamethrower.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Over and out.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Sh Meanwhile, in the blimp, the Purple Ninjas were preparing
to land next to the skunk fine field.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Holly, smunks, that's a lot of skunk fines. Skunks where
elsetee that skunks skunk fines? Remember the whole pint of
this trip was for the vines.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Oh yeah right, Oh wow, How in the world are
we gonna bid all those vines in here? Hey look
as big as trees.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't know, Steve. I think we're gonna need a
bigger blimp. Well, now that we're landing, I need you
to help me grab the stuff we need.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
What was that? What was what I thought? I so
als looking at me from the trees.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Steve. I promise you that owl is way more afraid
of you than you are of it.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Nope, I don't think that's possible, because I'm very afraid.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Just hand me that rope over there, Steve, Steve, are
you okay?

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I can't move.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
I froze it.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Okay, okay. I'm gonna get to work tying the vines
up to the bottom of the blimp so we can
at least drag them back home. You just stay right
here here, hold this walking talking. Let me know when
you're ready. Yeah, I'll be right here.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Ava was just finishing sitting up her flamethrower. When the
water drones arrived, they would help contain the fire in
the places that it needed to be, and if the
fire happened to spread, the place as it shouldn't be.
Then the water drones would squirt the fire to keep

(07:07):
it under control.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
All right, should be ready to rock, said Ava. Here
it goes.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
She flipped on the switch as flames started shooting out
from the flame thrower onto the skunk fines. The skunk
finds immediately erupted into flames. Yes, it's working now, I
just need to burn this whole field down. On the

(07:36):
other side of this field, the Purple Ninjas started to
smell something burning.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Sh Hey, Steve, do you smell something burning? Can you
check the blimp and make sure the engine didn't blow
up again?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Sh it's the os s, s ow.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'll smell like smoke. Steve.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Shh, it's their laser eyes. I told you they have
laser rise. I'm getting on here, Steve.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
What do you mean you're getting out of here?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Just then, the Burble Ninja watched as his blimp started
to fly away.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
But that wasn't even the worst of it.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Steve, get back here. Don't leave me here alone. We
were supposed to wait. What fire fire, Steve, save, get
back here. The field is on fire.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I told you the owls have laser eyes. I'll throw
rope down for you. Just just climb up. I'm not
landing by those owls. Shh.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Wow, great jobs, Biology Squad.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
You saved the day.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Ava Jaden, mister Jim and the fire department work together
the rest of the night and day to burn up
the rest of the skunk finds in time before those
invasive plants ruined the ecosystem.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I didn't know it was so important to keep our
ecosystems in balance like that. But I'm so glad that
we were able to get rid of those stinky skunk
finds in time before it was too late. I have
a feeling that doctor Sinky Breath has another plan up
a sleeve. We'll have to wait and see what happens
on the next adventure of Spiology Squad. We'll be right back.

(09:33):
After a brief word from our sponsor, it's time for
Biology Squad shoutouts. I want to say hey to Mason
from Montana, Grayson from California, Miles from Connecticut, Jason from Langley,
British Columbia, Theo and Miles from San Antonio, Texas, Aliyah,

(09:55):
