AllStar and Radio slept through the rest of the trip, they weren't aware that they've just reached land a few hours later and were taken off the Research Vessel by the humans. They had blackout curtains over their fish bowls so no one would see them as they were taken through a city in a car with black out windows, they were heading out into the middle of nowhere to a Science Facility.

Once they arrived, the humans took AllStar and Radio inside the building as armed guards keep lookout. When the scientist got a first look at the two Snorks, they were astonished at their appearance. They soon set out a 20 gallon fish tank placed on a table up against the wall, just around waist level. It was filled with Salt Water before AllStar and Radio were carefully taken out of the fishbowls and placed into the tank via the use of tongs.

"We don't want to touch them," said a scientist as he hooked up a air pump, a light, a filter, and a water heater. The kind of stuff that you normally find on an average home aquarium, "Once they wake up, we would then communicate to them to see if they talk."

"Derek, you would be in charge of them," said another scientist, "You keep an eye on these two for the night until tomorrow morning."

"Roger that," agrees Derek as he pulls up a chair as his fellow colleges head back home. Scrawny man in his late forties, he has short black hair and was wearing the scientist lab coat with his name tag and everything. He pretty much sat there all night sleeping, by next morning he woke up to find the Snorks still lying on their backs still sleeping.

He tapped on the tank and Radio woke up, he sat up and stretched his arms over his head as he yawns. After rubbing his eyes with his fist, Radio looked at AllStar and shook him awake. "AllStar, wake up." he said.

"Wha, what happened?" yawned AllStar as he sits up.

"Someone's here to see us," said Radio as he looks at Derek.

AllStar gave one look at Derek as the scientist stares at him, the Snork shot backwards and slammed his back against the wall terrified. Radio looks up and sees theirs a cover on top the tank, he swam up, pushed it open, and stuck his head out. "So your the guy who will be watching us for the meantime," said the Snork.

"And you can talk," said Derek.

"Of course I can," insist Radio, "We Snorks are amphibious but we can't breath freshwater, AllStar here knows that by experience."

AllStar got up and swam next to Radio and stuck his head out, "Where are we?" he asked.

"We're in South Carolina, in a Research Facility in a rural area." explains Derek, "No ocean for miles."

"I use the Metric System," explains Radio.

"So you know human measurement well, just the metric system?" asked Derek.

"Yeah I know it quite well because I'm a scientist as well," claimed Radio, "Which is probably why I'm kidnapped."

"So if your a scientist, what are you researching?" asked Derek.

"Robotic Technology, Neurology, Nanotechnology, and my favorite Nuclear Research and Development." claimed Radio.

"Nuclear Technology?" asked Derek.

"Yeah, E=mc2 kind of thing," said Radio, "Had been playing around with Uranium and Thorium for awhile, I managed to make a Nuclear Reactor out of the stuff."

'Well then, explain more later but right now are you hungry?" asked Derek.

"Now that your mention it, my stomachs growling." explained AllStar.

"What do you eat?" asked Derek.

"Our technology is quite similar to humans and so is our diet," explained Radio, "We pretty much eat what you eat, but if you must insist fish food will do."

"Fish food?" asked AllStar.

"Don't complain AllStar." insist Radio.

More scientist came in and saw Derek talking to the Snorks, they soon got interested and begin to group around AllStar and Radio. "Wow, real Snorks," said one of the scientist, "This is what we're researching for the day."

"What are you Oceanographers?" asked Radio.

"And they talk too?" asked another scientist.

"Not only I'm a Snork, I'm also a Scientist as well." claims Radio, "So I'm pretty much familiar on what you're going to do to us."

"He knows E=mc2," said Derek.

"Energy equals the mass multiplied by the speed of light in a vacuum, yeah I know the atoms and Nuclear Physics so don't try to outsmart me." said Radio.

Suddenly, the boss walked in and see's all the Scientist gazing at the Snorks. A bit frustrated, he soon intervenes, "Oh right you eggheads, get back to work," he ordered, "Derek, your job is to take care of the Snorks. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir," said Derek.

As Derek ran off to fetch the Snork's breakfast, the boss glances at the Snorks with a mean look on his face before storming off. Radio and AllStar soon floated back down to the bottom of the tank and simply just sit there for the time being, "Well he don't seem happy," laughed Radio.

"How are we going to get out of here?" asked AllStar.

"Why your so worried about leaving?"

"How are you enjoying this?"

"They're not going to hurt us, in fact there's no where to go sort of speak." explained Radio, "They know where we live, if we leave we would be plucked out of the ocean again and brought back here. So make the best of this experience, we'll might as well learn something from mankind."

"I didn't say if they're going to hurt us, I'm asking why are YOU enjoying this?" repeated AllStar.

Radio just stared at AllStar for a moment and come up with his answer, "Cause I know what they're going to do to us because I'm also a Scientist, if Dr. Gallio were here I swear he would tell you the same thing but he might be afraid himself. Don't you see, these humans want to learn from us and if we cooperate we'll might get something back in return."

"So is that it, you're not worried about our safety because you know what to expect?" asked AllStar.

"I'm worried about you for the moment," said Radio, "If you keep up your current behavior, your going to strain yourself."

"Okay then, fine." spat AllStar as he gets back up to his feet, "Be that way, I'm getting out of here."

"Knock yourself out," encouraged Radio as he kicks back and used his hands to support his head.

AllStar slammed against the wall of the tank, the glass is rigid and strong. It bounced back AllStar and he landed onto his back, he clutches his head as hard as he can awhile moaning in the process. "Your done yet?" asked Radio.

"Yeah, I'm done." agreed AllStar as he examines his hands, "Is my head bleeding?"

"No, your just as pretty when we got here," joked Radio.

When Derek came back, he had a jar of fish food in his hand. He opened the jar and sprinkled fish food and sprinkled fish food into the tank, Radio swam up and took a bite out of flakes of fish food as it floats on the surface. "Mmm, taste like Reefberries," said Radio, "But we can't live off of this stuff in the long term Derek."

"I'll see to it that I get better food," said Derek as he closes the lid of the fish food container, "I better run off now, I'll see you guys later."

As Derek leaves the room, AllStar swam up and took a bite out of the fish food as Radio swam back down to the bottom of the tank. "This tasted quite good," approved AllStar.

"Eat a little, maybe that would comfort you." said Radio.

"I'm not going to sit in a claustrophobic fish tank and eat fish food all day," said AllStar.

"I would."

"Well that's because your lazy, Couch Potato."

"Your damn right I am, and if you stop bickering for the time being and sit down to collect your thoughts you might see ho..."

AllStar began to pound away against the side of the glass, Radio just shut up and grabbed some fish food as it floats to the bottom and start eating awhile he watches the Yellow Snork pound away against the glass with his fist and his body. "Maybe I'm going to love this misadventure," thought Radio as he takes a bite out of the fish food, "I'm here for you AllStar, don't kill yourself."
