It has been two weeks since Snorkland was brought to it's knees by Seaworthy's Disease, a vicious illness that kills it's victims 60% of the time. If the host survives, it changes them into monsters.

News had already gotten out thanks to Radio Seaworthy, a green snork who happened to be Patient Zero of the disease, managed to use his highly advanced technology to get the word out using Radio Waves.

Thankfully a cure for the virus has been found and the population was treated for it, AllStar and the gang had been hold up in the Snorkland Steam Plant for 72 Hours before returning to their homes.

The trouble started after AllStar decided to go visit Radio in his "Secret Bunker", in a desolate place called The Outback south of Snorkland. There, he and his friends found the Snork lying sick in bed along with his pet green octopus Rex. The gang picked up the virus and brought it back to Snorkland without their knowledge, almost the entire population contracted it and either died or go berserk.

Now, everything is started to return back to normal like nothing even happened. Radio and Rex managed to recovered from the virus but didn't immediately returned home. They were seen all over Snorkland for a few days, showing signs of depression. At one point, a Snork found Radio crying right behind a dumpster with Rex in his arms, also crying.

Finally, AllStar and the gang had gotten together in AllStar's house and sat in the living room. When Radio and Rex came in, they weren't themselves. They still had dark circles around their eyes and they were frowning, simply to put they were broken inside.

"I need to talk to you guys about a serious issue," said Radio as he sat down on a chair, "It's about you guys, me, and the fate of our lives."

"What's wrong Radio?" asked AllStar.

"When I was down under, I haven't returned home." explained Radio, "The thought of you going there awhile I was sick gave me hope, but in the end I have to save you guys from danger. But that's not what's concerning me, what's really concerning me is my ability to trust you guys."

"Due to your track records, you are worth trusting but after what AllStar did had put my research and technology at risk by simply knowing where it is. It may be wise to have you guys know where to go if I'm in trouble but I'm totally independent out there, I have a few choices and they're not good, I either relocate my home somewhere else, trust you guys until you die, or do something we'll all regret."

"And what would that last part be?" asked Daffney.

"You'll sleep better tonight if I didn't tell you what I'm going to do to you guys," answers Radio, "If I did it, I could never speak to you guys again and nor you would speak to me again. Over my dead body would I make that decision."

"Oh, uhh what you need us to do?" asked AllStar.

"I need you to solemnly swear not to tell anyone where I live," instructed Radio, "Even if it threatens your life, because if that technology gets into the wrong hands all of Snorkland and possibly the whole ocean would cease to exist."

"It's that bad?" asked Casey.

"Worse, I have the power to take control of Snorkland in a snap of a finger," claims Radio, "Don't believe me? Those Feral Snorks out in the Outback are a prime example of such take over because they are... oh I'm not going there."

"I swear I won't tell anybody," answers AllStar.

"Me too," said Casey.

"My lips are sealed," claimed Dimmy.

"I'll keep it a secret," said Daffney.

Tooter simply tooted in response.

"Even if your life is threatened you won't tell," claimed Radio, "That technology would end all life on earth for all I know."

"But why did you make such technology?" asked AllStar.

Radio sighed and said, "It's for the Snork Race, I'm developing technology that would change our place in the ocean. Imagine a world without Snork Eaters or any other creature that preys upon us, people like Bigweed will cease to exist as we would reach common goals. This ocean covers 70% of the world, the technology I'm developing will help make it a safer place. I could literally free you from Snorkland for all I know, able to travel the world to explore it and learn whatever there is to learn."

"Wow, that's one commitment," comment AllStar.

"A commitment that cannot be shattered," said Radio, "AllStar, our family will be one of the first to become an entirely new Snork species. I'm already altering Snork Evolution, I'm already altering my own body. I want you to promise me to peruse your interest in science like there's no tomorrow, maybe one day I could breathe easier once I know your future is safe."

"Okay Radio, I promise," said AllStar and he shook Radio's hand.

"If you come back to my bunker, I'm going to have traps set out and make your day a living hell," said Radio, "They're not going to kill you but they're going to hurt a lot, if you keep coming back then I'm relocating. Only come to me in an emergency, and only an emergency you guys cannot handle alone. Got it?"

"Yes Radio," said the gang in unison.

"Thanks guys," said Radio, "Your the best."
