Opening Theme:

Excuse Me, Excuse Me…

I guess I'll have to be direct

If you're gonna' stand on my neck

Then you'd better check under the sea

Cause that is where you'll find me

Underneath the Sealab!

Underneath the water

Sealab!

At the bottom of the Sea!

Episode 002: The Great Happy-Bake Trial

Date: Saturday, Sol 28th, 2021

Inside of the main control room of Sealab, several personnel were tied up to a couch and several chairs. Captain Murphy paced back and forth in front of them, while Brittany Taylor stood by, holding a flamethrower, along with a concerned look on her face.

"Um," Brittany began, "Do I really need to hold a flamethrower?" "Yes!" Captain Murphy exclaimed as he briefly looked in her direction before turning his attention to the people strapped to the seats. Jodene Sparks looked up from his spot and rolled his eyes.

"Come on, Captain," Sparks said, "I don't think anyone here knows the location of your tasty-cake oven, and most likely, it's probably in your quarters." "Oh, that's what you want me to think!" Murphy retorted. "Well, yeah," Sparks replied.

"Captain," Daria Morgendorffer spoke up, "When was the last time you saw your Tasty-Cake Oven, and where was that location at?" Daria asked him. "Hmm, I remember it like it was yesterday," Murphy began. After a minute of silence, everyone looked at each other. "Um, okay, and…aren't you going to finish that thought?" Daria asked him.

"Finish what thought?" Murphy asked her. "The time and location of when and where you last saw your Tasty-Cake Oven," Daria replied. "Why would I think about that?" Murphy asked her.

"Because it's missing," Daria replied. "What!? My Tasty-Cake Oven is missing!? I'll bet one of you bastards stole it!" Murphy said, pointing his finger at the people who were tied up. Brittany just shook her head and stayed quiet. "Good going, Morgendorffer," Sparks reprimanded her. "Sorry," Daria said quietly.

"Actually," Jane Lane began, "We're tied up here because the thief didn't want us to interfere with his plans to take your oven." Murphy gasped in shock. "If you were to untie us right now, we could help you look for it," she said with a smile. "Really?" Kevin Thompson asked.

"Yes, Kevin," Jane said firmly. "Huh. I thought that-" "Shut up, Kevin!" Brittany shrieked as she aimed her flamethrower at him. "Yeah, wise guy, shut up!" Murphy said as he walked over and smacked Kevin across the mouth. "Um, ouch, that hurt!" Kevin protested.

"Keep it up, and it'll hurt again!" Murphy said with a manic grin. Just then, a console screen turned on and Upchuck's face appeared on it. "Um, excuse me, but could someone-" "Not now, Upchuck!" Jane shouted. "But there's a-" "We said, not now!"

Upchuck sighed and turned off the connection. "Um, we could have asked him to send someone up here to help us," Daria said to Jane. Jane blanched at the realization that she'd blown their best chance of getting out of this mess. "What did he want to tell us about, anyway?" Daria asked rhetorically.

Five minutes later, the console came back to life. This time Hesh's face was on it, while Upchuck was wearing a Hazmat suit in the background. "Hey, some idiot plugged a-" "Not now He-" Daria stomped on Jane's foot. "Hesh, what's the problem?" Daria asked him.

"Some idiot plugged their Tasty-Cake oven into the reactor!" Upchuck shouted through his Hazmat suit. "Yeah, what he said!" Hesh shouted. "Say what?" Murphy asked. "Someone plugged a toy oven into the reactor!" Hesh shouted.

"That is not a toy! It is a real oven! It makes cookies, cupcakes, and so much more! It even comes with little sprinkle packets! But the secret ingredient, that makes it all work, is love!" Murphy proclaimed. "Uh, yeah, but you still aren't supposed to plug it into the reactor!" Upchuck shouted, holding the oven with a pair of large tongs.

"Well, why not!?" Murphy asked.

Two minutes later, Sealab exploded.
