Penguin HQ
(Skipper's POV)
"Stay indoors all of New York State is experiencing a wave of artic conditions," the weatherman said, "We should expect a total of 20 feet of snow." "Expect?" Kowalski said, "We already have a total of 20 feet." "Well we don't have to worry about the thickness of our hockey rink this year," Private said. "Boys it's a great day to go ice fishing," I said, "and there will be no snakeheads to ruin it"
"Skipper we have a problem," Kowalski said, "our friends at the IPSA have detected strange energy fluctuatations in the area." "What about our friends at P.A.A.T," I said. "Penguins Against Alien Threats have detected a cyber-ship in orbit," Kowalski said. "Any landmarks show up that we never heard of?" "I don't think they have the technology to Time-Travel." "Where are these energy fluctuatations," I asked.
"Under…gulp coney island," Kowalski said. "Where in Coney Island the aquatheater or the old octopus exhibit," I said. "Under the ferris wheel," he replied. "Next stop coney island," I replied. "Subway convenient," Private said. "No they'll be expecting that," I said. "The Super-plane." "We haven't tested it in cold weather," I said. "How about the biplanes," Private asked. "I like the way you think private," I said, "To the biplanes!" "I'll leave the Space-Time Teleport here then," Kowalski said.
We entered the hanger with the biplanes and climbed aboard. "Contact!" I shouted. "We are clear for takeoff," Kowalski muttered and we flew out of the secret hanger doors. "Let's find out whats going on," I said on the onboard communication system, "and how the cyber-men connect to this." "We're in the belly of the beast now," Kowalski replied. "I have a bad feeling about this," Private said. "Ka-boom?" "Not now Rico."
Elsewhere…The Cyber-planner was watching our every move, "Ready the Cyber-Tyrannosaurus Rex" "The Cyber-Tyrannosaurus Rex is awakened." Their base shook as their worst creation roared to life. "Upgrade in progress," The C-Rex said in the classic Cyber-monotone. "The Cyber-Tyrannosaurus Rex will prep the city for the Cyber-King," The Cyber-Controller said. "The Penguins are approaching," The Cyber-leader said. "The Cyber-Tyrannosaurus Rex will deal with the penguins," The Cyber-planner replied, "They will be upgraded." "If they evade upgrade they must be deleted." "All life on this planet will be upgraded…starting with this city!"
