All Nigel could do while the pod flew him to the moonbase was think. Is this really happening? He thought, how can I get decommissioned? Of all people!

He helplessly watched as he was forcefully docked next to the decommissioning chamber. As Numbuh 86 lead him out with a grin, he was greeted by the other operatives who were in the S.C.A.M.P. he crashed. The greeting consisted with him getting cuffed in various ways (like his arms and legs, and even long, scrawny neck) while being glared at by the dusty, beat up operatives.

He was taken down to the decommissioning chamber, where he saw Numbuh 362 and a few other moonbase guards waiting for him. Numbuh 86 strapped him down in his seat and stood with Rachel.

"You're being decommissioned under the account of reckless behavior that endangers the Kids Next Door" she said as she read the decommissioning slip.

"Reckless? I'm not a danger to anyone!" he argued.

"Yes, you are." Rachel replied, "You put yourself and your team before the rest of the Kids Next Door, to the point where it gets extremely dangerous!"

"Just because I'm a great leader-"

"No, you're a liability" she interrupted, "One that we can't risk any longer."

A silence swept over the room for a few moments.

"Your team was asked to be here but they couldn't watch." She said, breaking the silence. He nodded, understanding.

"Any last words Numbuh 1" Numbuh 86 chirped as the screen in front of him covered with static.

"Yes, in fact I do." He replied. Just as the plunger shot from the screen, he shook his glasses off his head, where they landed in his cuffs, so he twisted them with his teeth to unlock them. As the plunger that was destined to suck out his memory sprung towards it, he caught it by the stick with his hand. The guards pulled out their M.U.S.K. as Numbuh 362 stood in shock.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Nigel asked. Her eyes met his, and for a moment she hesitated. Finally, she nodded lightly, and he understood.

He jammed his face into the plunger, wiping his memory on his own terms. The other operatives in the room stood with complete respect and awe of this.

"This is the first thing he's done for the greater good in a while" Numbuh 362 said.

"You think you made a mistake, sir?" she asked.

Numbuh 362 didn't reply. Instead, she stared at Nigel's unconscious body sitting in the chair.

"Take him home guys" she whispered.
