Zoo administration office

9:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time

(Skipper's POV)

"Kowalski tell me you hacked into the new automatic fresh fish deliverly system!" I said. "I'm trying but this is the most advanced encryption I ever seen," Kowalski said, "it's sudoku with fractions…" "I thought you said AES encryption…amateurs?" "That was the first layer of encryption," Kowalski replied, "This is the…fourth…" "four layers of encryptions?" I said, "well played zoo overlords well played." Rico hacked up a chainsaw and attacked the computer tower. "Wow," Kowalski said, "we're in…ergh…we need an administrative password!"

"try um…" Private noticing a billboard outside of the zoo that read TRY HOBOKEN." "…try Hoboken?" Kowalski typed in Hoboken and the zoo system appeared on the screen, "that actually worked...I'm surprised nobody broke that password yet." "process report," I said. "Now I'm in!" Kowalski said. "pretty soon we'll be up to our eyeballs in fish…Private status on the security cams!" "we're in the clear Skipper!" I glance at the door to the office and turned back to Kowalski, "Begin!" Kowalski started to type but then the door opened and the lights turned on.

We turned and found ourselves face to face with one of the zoo overlords. "Wha…WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF YOUR HABITAT!?" "ah heck," rico said. "And why are you on my computer?" "Kowalski shut it down," I said. Kowalski logged out of the zoo system and shut down the computer terminal. "ZOOKEEPER ALICE!" the man shouted into an intercom, "PLEASE REPORT TO ZOO ADMINISTRATION NOW!" Rico hacked up a smoke bomb and we made our escape. Alice rushed in after we disappeared. "What?" "You were right about those penguins…this is something up with them…FIND OUT WHAT THAT IS!" Alice left the office and when the zoo overlord wasn't looking she rolled her eyes. When the zoo administer thought alice was out of earshot, "I should have turned those birds into the government a long time ago." In a corner a shadow was listening intently. In a disguised voice the figure said, "Now is your chance…make the call. This is the Killer Commando Penguins last mission."

The Penguin habitat

11:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time (AKA feeding time)

"Skipper Alice is looking at us more supisiously then usual," Kowalski said. "Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave," I said. And then the penguin researcher appeared, "Your right my nighttime stakeout revealed that the penguin stayed under that water for way too long to still be alive this morning." "And the tracking tags?" Alice said. "showed them being inside the concrete glacier…" "But that's impossible that's solid concrete!"

"I had a helicopter fly over with Lider," he said, "and we found a hollow space that looked dug out of the concrete…and a massive tunnel system under the zoo and several points beyond. A few of them lead into the sewer system." "Now to worry about men," I said, "just keep smiling and waving." "I know I should have put up that anti laser defense system," Kowalski muttered. "and the tunnels were penguin sized," the man said, "also we detected an opening under that penguin food dish…and we have also detected an unknown energy signature under the ground." "I thought you were a penguin specialist…" "I dabble in other areas of science," he said. "Great Scott!" Kowalski said, "so do I!" we all glared at Kowalski. "what?" Kowalski said.

Alice looked thru his reports, "What? This is just a bunch of drawings colored in with markers and colored pencils!" "what?" he said, "this isn't my results!?" "I guess the penguin stole it then…Security!" two burly men we never see before grabbed the researcher and dragged him out of the zoo. "I didn't know the zoo had security," I said. "what about his real results," Private said. "cooking in the incinerator as we speak," I said. "oh," Private said. "see nothing to worry about," I said, "as long as we stay out of the administrative building we should be fine." "Unless Kowalski blows the roof off the base," Private said. "don't jinx us private," I said, "Kowalski wouldn't dare invent something today!" I said. "I guess your right," Private said. "if you need me I'll be down in the hanger," Kowalski said, "I need to do some updates to the superplane's shields!"
