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 (00:24):
On the last episode, we saw that the Purple Ninjas
have done something terrible to the water. It is now
stinky purple. Oh dear, And it sounds like Ava, Jaden
and mister Jim are just now getting started and solving
this problem. Just as they arrived at the water treatment facility,

(00:46):
they barely missed catching the Purple Ninjas who drove away
in a truck. And Jaden is gonna follow that truck.
Let's see what happens next. After Jaden blasted out of
the window in his jetpack to follow the truck that
was driving away, Ava called out to mister Jim to
see if he had seen any clues. Hey, mister Jim,

(01:08):
do you see anything wrong back there? She had her
hands on her hip as she was standing in front
of all the ginormous pieces of equipment. Uh not yet, Ava,
So how exactly does all this work? There's so much stuff?
This is what it takes to clean water. Yes, Ava,
it is a lot of different pieces and steps to

(01:31):
cleaning water. You see over here is the intake pipe.
That is where the dirty water is coming into the
water treatment center. Wait where is all that water coming from,
asked Dava. Oh all kinds of places, kitchen sinks, street trains,
and even toilets. Oh, please tell me you're choking. No,
we have to be good stewards of the water in

(01:54):
our world, so that's why we reuse the dirty water
after it's already been used. He's a little cleaning. Wow,
I had no idea. So have you found anything that
points us towards some purple ninja clues?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Asked Dava.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, take a look at this over here. I found
why the water is turning purple. At least, mister Jane
walked over towards the clean water on the other side
and pulled out a rope that was tied to a
big block of purple food coloring.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
You see.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
The good news, Ava, is that this gets rid of
the purple color by removing it. But unfortunately there's something
else wrong here. Clean water is not supposed to smell
like that. Oh yeah, that's pretty gross. Mister jim. Uh,
but can you keep telling me about the process of
cleaning water. Oh yeah, So once the water comes in,
it pours through that screening over there that separates the

(02:47):
larger objects from the water.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Gross.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Ava got closer to that screen and said, there's an
old shoe and oh, is that someone's hair brush.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, there's some strange things that might get flushed down
the toilet or fall down the drain on the street.
That's disgusting, said Ava. So after the large particles get
removed from the water in that screen, next the water
has to sit very still to allow particles like sand
and dirt to fall to the bottom. Oh yeah, I

(03:22):
remember doing an experiment at school where we filled a
water bottle with pond water after like an hour of waiting.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
It was weird.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
The water at the bottom was really dirty and the
water at the top was almost crystal clear. Yeah, that's cool, Ava,
So just like what you did at school in your experiment,
they do that here. Then they take that clear water
at the top and add a special bacteria to it.
Wait a second, mister, Jimmy lost me there they add
bacteria to it. That sounds like the opposite thing to do.

(03:54):
It might seem that way, but this is a special
kind of bacteria. This bacteria it actually eats the tiny
dangerous germs that are remaining in the water. Whow those
sound like some cool bacteria? Can I see some?

Speaker 6 (04:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Sure, Ava. They should be over here in this Uh
wait a second, this is empty. It should not be empty.
I think we might have just stumbled on a clue.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Let's go check the back room to see where they
keep their extra bacteria. If it's missing bacteria in the process,
it's gonna leave the water very stinky. Meanwhile, the Purple
Ninjas were driving back towards doctor Stinkybread's house in that
truck that they stole at the water treatment facility, and
they saw someone following them.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
Hey, Steve, look out your window. Why what am I
looking for? I think we're being followed?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Are you sure?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh? I see baby. I don't know. Maybe he's just
headed in the same direction as us.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
Steve, that person has been following us everything. I'll turn
and he has a jetpack.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
So what does that tell you?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Duh, he's in a hurry to get some cookies.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Oh, Steve, he's a spy, probably his biology squad. What
what where ah, why do I even try with you?
Just just hold on. I gotta lose him.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
The Purple Ninjas turned and started driving the truck super
fast and zoomed off the road and into the forest.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Hold on, Steve dun.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Jaden was following close behind in his jetpack. He has
a pretty strong feeling that that truck is being driven
by Purple Ninjas.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
WHOA, said, Jaden? Did they just.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Swerve off the road and into the forest like that?
He looks like they're headed straight for doctor Sinkybread's house,
and I'm guessing they're trying to lose me. I don't
care where they would steal a truck though that says
it contains bacteria. Hmm. But since I know where they're going,
maybe I'll just hang back and let them think they

(06:08):
lost me. Then I know exactly what to do. Jaden
slowed down his jetpack and landed carefully in a clearing nearby,
but out of sight from the Purple Ninjas.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
He's Steve, do you still see him?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Sorry? I have my eyes closed. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Why art when you do that? Well, you're driving pretty
crazy through the foresstead. It was a little scary, Oh.

Speaker 7 (06:38):
Steve, Well, it's because of that crazy driving that it
looks like we lost him because I don't see him anywhere.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Ooh good, Well, where should we put all this bacteria
in the trunk? Let's park it out back?

Speaker 5 (06:54):
I want to surprise the boss.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
But you got his glasses though, right? Yep?

Speaker 7 (06:58):
I got it right here, Steve, take those off your face.
You look ridiculous. I just don't forget to lock your
door when you get out.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Ava and Jaden had been searching all over the supply
closet back at the water treatment facility for more bacteria,
but it was all gone. Hey, mister Jim, looks like
we're out of luck, shouted Ava. There's none of that
bacteria we need to clean the stink out of the water. Okay,
I'm gonna call Jaden, said mister Jim and let him know.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Sh Hey, jaydon are you there.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
I'm here.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
How's it going at the water treatment facility? You guys
figure out the problem? Sh It's not good. It looks
like all the bacteria we need to clean the water
has been stolen. Sh bacteria, said Jaden. Wait wait, we
must not have a good connection, because I thought you
said bacteria cleans the water.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
But that can't be sh Uh, you heard me right.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
There's a special kind of anaerobic bacteria that's an important
part of the process in cleaning water. Sh No way.
That truck that I've been following this old time, I
think it's it was stolen by the Purple Nines, but
it said something about bacteria on the side of it.
Sh you're a genius, Jaden, shouted mister Jim. That's gotta

(08:22):
be the supply truck of the bacteria we need us. Okay,
do you do you know where the truck is now?
Sh I know exactly where it is. But uh, mister Jim,
I'm gonna need you to get to my location and
drive that truck for me since I don't have my license.
Sh I'll be right there, over and out. Sh Hey, Ava,

(08:46):
could you hold down the forty here? You got it,
mister Jim, said Ava. Meanwhile, the Purple Ninjas weren't about
to tell doctor Sinky Breath about their big fine with
all the bacteria, but they had also set up a
surprise for him.

Speaker 7 (09:01):
Do him over spreading the bacteria all over this room
like you said, Oh, good jobs, Dave. It looks great
in here. Nice and disgusting. Let's go get the boss.
Hey boss, it was surprise. Are you.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
What are you talking about? You better have my glasses?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Oh, sure thing, Here you go.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Doctor Stinkybreath grabbed the glasses from the Purple Ninja and
put him back on his face.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Oh great, I can finally see again.

Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, now that you can see, come check out this room.
Isn't it disgusting?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
As doctor Stinkybreath walked in, his first impression was great,
but then he smelled something he didn't like. Wait a second,
why doesn't it smell.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Stinky in here?

Speaker 5 (09:57):
What did you do? He's all the stink lam?

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Steve?

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Are you sure this is the bacteria?

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yoh, I'm positive.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
I don't know what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Ceese was my favorite stinky room and you ruin it.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
It smells cleaning here, fair Boninia.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
While all that was going on, mister Jim had arrived,
and thankfully Steve had forgotten to lock the passenger door,
and mister Jim and Jayden were both able to climb
into the truck and drive away.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Who we did at, mister Jim? Yeah? Jaden, why don't
you call Evan let her know we're on our way.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Hey, Ava, this is Jadon and mister Jim here, we're
coming and we have the bacteria.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
Whew.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Good thing, said Ava, because I.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Don't think I can handle this stink here anymore. Wow.
Great jobs, Biology Squad.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Isn't it uh insane that bacteria is a part of
cleaning the water?

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I had no idea, but I'm so glad that Spiology
Squad was able to solve that mystery and save the day.
It's time for Spiology Squad shout outs. I want to
say hey.
