Narrator's POV

It was the start of a new day; the sunrise began peaking through the blinds of the windows. Everything in the treehouse was quiet, other than the sound of the fellow operatives' snoring.

That was until a notification ring for a video chat went off.

Numbuh 1 could barely open his eyes. Still trying to keep them shut, he reached over to his nightstand to feel for his go-to sunglasses that he couldn't live without. He let out a loud and long sigh as he hopped out of bed, and dragged himself towards the sound of the computer. The screen read 'FROM MOONBASE'. It was none other than the Supreme Leader, Numbuh 362.

What could she possibly want at this early hour?. Nigel thought as he stared at the screen. Should I pretend I didn't hear the call and not answer? No no, if I don't she'd think we're lazy and maybe look down on us. I can't have that. He proceeded to click 'Answer' and Numbuh 362's face popped up on the screen.

"Good morning Numbuh 362, sir. What can I do for you?" he said while rubbing his eyes.

"Hey, Numbuh 1," Numbuh 362 answered. "I'm sorry that I had to call you so early, but I need Sector V here at Moonbase stat."

"Say no more. We're on our way."

"Numbuh 1, what's going on?". Numbuh 4 whined. "It's so early!"

"Numbuh 5's also really curious," Numbuh 5 chimed. "What's happening?"

"Just hush up and get in the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. We're headed for Moonbase, Numbuh 362 needs us" Numbuh 1 answered. "She sounded serious."

Following their leader's orders, Numbuh's 2, 3, 4, and 5 followed him into the shuttle and they headed off.

As Sector V landed, they found that Numbuh 362 was already waiting for them outside.

"Hey Sector V," she greeted with a blank expression on her face. "Let's head inside". They all followed her back into the base.

Numbuh 2 ran up to keep up with Numbuh 362's speed. "Uhm, Numbuh 362. What's going on?" he asked quickly.

Numbuh 362 was quiet for a moment before answering. "Well," she started. "Remember that whole incident with Numbuh 274 before his 13th birthday?"

"Don't even get Numbuh 5 started on that," Numbuh 5 said. "Numbuh 5 can't believe he had us decommissioned!"

The thing is," Numbuh 362 replied. "There was a sector that wasn't as lucky as you guys. Because of the accident, Sector Q has lost all of its members except for one."

"And?" Numbuh 4 said impatiently. "What does that have to do with waking us up so early and having us come here?"

Numbuh 362 sighed and stopped in her tracks. "I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm hoping you guys are okay with it."

Numbuh 1 furrowed his eyebrows. "What is it?"

"I want to reassign Sector Q's remaining member to Sector V," she announced. "You'll be getting a new team member."

Confused looks were exchanged between the five members. "Is that even allowed?" Numbuh 3 asked as she scratched her head.

"It's never happened in Kids Next Door history, but it's a complicated case and I had to make the executive decision." Numbuh 362 answered. "It was either this or they get the boot.. they don't really have anyone else. I hope you all understand".

There was a moment of silence as the members took in the news. "Well, if it's okay with you then I guess it's okay with me". Numbuh 1 announced.

Numbuh 362 perked up. "I'm so happy to hear you say that! C'mon, I want you to introduce you to someone".

Excited and nervous about the news, they followed their leader further down the hall.
