- Oberon,

Oberon.

Oberon, what's going on?

Ever since we retrofit this com array

for 21st century streaming, you've been nothing but trouble.

I told you to let me install these upgrades properly.

There's too many quick fixes.

You should be online, Oberon.

- [Oberon] Sorry, I'm here now.

- What's going on?

- [Oberon} The barbaric technology

these 21st century streams require

seems to have opened up a vulnerability

in the array's power systems.

I'm not sure, I'm working diagnostics.

- Just do the best you can.

Sorry, 21st century earthlings.

Welcome to the first fixed time,

fixed space, public broadcast ever

from the inter-dimensional

observation and inspiration spacecraft, the MUSE.

I'm Mischief Marie, one of its few custodians.

Here in the Quantum Closet, the space between the worlds,

our team has a very important mission.

We secretly inspire adventures

from all the worlds and all time

with the science facts they need

to overcome their greatest dangers.

And even though we exist

in a dimension beyond time and space,

you'll find in your time on the MUSE

that you must always be ready for action.

(alarm blaring)

See what I mean?

On screen Oberon.

- [Oberon] Priority alerts, multiple, five.

It appears my time offline backed up to queue.

I'll try and connect us to all worlds.

- Won't that drain too much power?

- [Oberon} I'll worry about that Marie,

these heroes need our help.

- Okay, it's your call, but we'll do this one at a time.

(electromagnetic buzzing)

- [Oberon] I'm here Marie.

(electromagnetic)

Power systems holding steady.

- Okay, if you can hold it.

Who needs us first?

- [Oberon] Colonial America, during the Revolutionary War.

- All right, Oberon.

Take us to the world of the Cuyahoga River Riders.

(upbeat music)

(crickets chirping)

(gun blasts)

- [Frederick] Follow him.

(suspenseful music)

(footsteps thudding)

(horse neighs) (suspenseful music)

- Stay away from me. - You sound American.

Why are you dressed like a King's man's drummer boy?

- I said keep- - Quiet.

Who's after you? Americans?

- The British, sir.

- Of which you are obviously one.

The British would only chase their own for cause.

I'll leave them to you.

- No. - Out with it.

- I don't wanna die.

- Are you asking for my help?

Then give me a reason.

- Why are you wearing a mask.

- It's not wise to test your time or my patience?

(somber music)

- I've been riding with the British Army, yes.

With Captain Henry Bird and the 8th Regiment of Foot.

I come with urgent words,

an ambush.

(upbeat music)

- Fort Laurens.

The British are going to invade Fort Laurens.

How'd you come by this intel?

- I'm an agent of the Patriots in Detroit, Sir.

I've been in ruins as the company drummer. Six months.

I took off at dusk, but I lost my way.

- This better not be the ruse, boy.

(indistinct shouting)

Hop on, I can get us to safety.

(leaves rustling) (crickets chirping)

(ominous music) (leaves rustling)

- Who's the boy?

I thought we agreed we had a quota of war orphans.

- He's someone who needs our help.

(ominous music) (crickets chirping)

- You're, - Free, my next record.

(suspenseful music)

- And you're a girl?

- Enough.

Never take it for granted

that something is ever what it appears, boy.

- A regiment from the British army of Detroit

plans to ambush Fort Laurens.

The boy had aims to warn them.

From his intel, it also seems the red coats are not alone,

Indians march with them.

Artists from the Wanda, Mingo,

Muncie and Delaware tribes.

- But the fool Macintosh

just moved most of his men away from Fort Laurens.

All but 150 men just returned to Fort Pitt

to ration resources for the winter.

- The British must know it.

It makes the Fort an easy target.

Spies at Fort Laurens.

Nothing is what it appears indeed.

- They'll be slaughtered, we have to warn them.

It's only an hour's ride.

How much separation did the boy get from the regiment?

(horses racing) (indistinct chatter)

- But if you're right as personas before,

I thought we lost them.

- We did.

That's the sound of the entire regiment.

They're cutting Southwest

to follow the Tuscarawas West River,

and we're in between.

- The entire regiment? This close?

We have to buy the force some time.

Any ideas?

(dramatic music)

- Maybe a few.

- What about the boy?

- We'll just shock the regiment.

Delay them as long as possible, but we need his help

doing what he came here to do in the first place.

Warn Fort Laurens.

- I don't know the way.

- Southwest to the river,

it'll lead you straight to it.

(dramatic music)

- But, I don't have a compass and it's night,

I'll get lost.

(somber music)

- What do you see up there?

(somber music) (crickets chirping)

- Stars.

- That's all?

- What did we tell you about appearances?

- It's actually a map, a path.

- You know your constellations?

- Yeah, some.

- They're the lights of distance suns.

And from how we see them,

look like they're in specific configurations.

They mean something to us,

even though they never had that intention.

Do you know the Big Dipper?

- That cluster of seven stars there?

- Right?

Do you see the two stars opposite of the handle?

They seem to form the front end of the Dip.

- Yeah.

- Those are pointer stars.

- Pointers to what?

- To Polaris, the North Star.

The North Star always lies directly overhead of True North.

From our perspective, it's an ever perfect indicator

of which way that direction is.

We'll be traveling Southwest,

so you want to travel this direction, away from this star.

Remember, away from this star is South,

and if you should find your unsure

if you're headed East or West, find Orion.

It's easy to recognize by those three diagonal stars,

the belt.

Orion always rises in the East and sets in the West.

Since it's dawn, the direction it rests now is West,

so head towards it.

- That will lead you to the river surely.

(leaves rustling) (somber music)

Go.

(leaves rustling) (crickets chirping)

- What is it?

- I'm a ruse.

I was found out and I panicked.

I wasn't running to warn Fort Laurens

I was running to save my life.

(somber music)

That's why I was lost.

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

(leaves rustling) (crickets chirping)

- And now you're found.

Sometimes despite intentions, the right path shines through.

You have that path again, a path that means something.

Use it to do what's right, before it's too late.

(suspenseful music)

- You can trust him?

- We'll buy you time.

Stay out of sight.

(dramatic music)

(gunshots blasting)

(upbeat music)

- [Oberon] Questions from Genesis coming on screen.

- Okay.

To travel Southwest, which direction should Gideon go

to find the Tuscarawas River and warn Fort Laurens?

Is it towards Polaris and away from Orion?

Away from Polaris and towards Orion?

Towards Polaris and towards Orion?

Or away from Polaris and away from Orion?

What do you earthlings think?

(upbeat music)

- [Oberon] I'll use my navigational schematics to calculate.

- No, we don't need schematics Oberon.

Frederick told us how to get there. What did he say?

He said it's dawn and Orion rises in the East

and sets in the West.

Gideon will need to head towards Orion and Polaris.

That's the North Star,

which means heading towards it would be heading North,

not the direction we want,

so it has to be choice B.

Away from Polaris and towards Orion.

All right, lock it in Oberon.

Let's Genesis it to Gideon.

(crickets chirping)

- Follow the pointer stars to the North Star,

head away from it, that's wise.

(upbeat music)

Orion.

(upbeat music)

- Tuscarawas, I'm on the right path.

(upbeat music)

- He found his way and he'll save lives.

- I was wrong.

Looks like it was us who needed his help.

(upbeat music)

(engine blasting)

- All right, great work Oberon.

Was our influence detected?

- [Oberon] No signs. We got in and out clean.

- Great, who's next?

- [Oberon] A place a bit more familiar

to our broadcast audience,

the 21st century.

- All right, let's catch up with the Shocklosers.

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat rock music)

- Look, he swings really hard.

He muscles it out of the park. - Nah, he gets under it.

It's like a golf swing man.

- Nah, you gotta choke up.

Like helps with the inertia.

- Guys. I think it's just dumb luck.

If there would've been a trick to it,

someone would've figured it out a long time ago.

- Well, I'm here, for some reason.

- Caleb, I don't think you're supposed to be here.

- Yeah, what are you even doing here at the ballpark?

- It's okay guys, he's our guest.

Thanks for coming. - Okay, it's good.

I thought our channel could use something fresh.

A new perspective, like us playing baseball.

- You really think our subscribers

wanna see Thomas strike out a couple of times.

- Hey.

- No offense man but, seriously?

- All we ever do is make stupid movies

and livestream video games.

- And net 20,000 views per.

- What's wrong with a little branching out?

- You think you're going yard today, don't you?

That's why Caleb's here.

- Look, we've all done our homework,

our swings could work.

Either way, Caleb's getting video evidence.

- One problem there Walt.

- What's the problem Thomas?

- Did you forget who we're playing against?

No one's beat them all year.

- We've never even hit a home run against a bad team.

- I think we are kind of the bad team.

- Have a little faith, would you?

Today, things change.

- Strike three. (crowd cheering)

- Hey, thanks for that. I see you man.

(lighthearted music)

(indistinct chatter) (footsteps thudding)

- Hey, whoa!

Got the video evidence.

- Why don't you make yourself useful

instead of making fun of me?

- How? - I don't know.

Why don't you go find out how to hit a home run?

We're gonna need it if we're gonna beat these guys.

- Okay, that I can do.

(lighthearted music)

- Need to see it again?

- No, I think I've got it.

So what's the problem?

- Have you not been paying attention?

- You wanna hit a home run, right?

- Sure.

- Okay then why don't you?

- Wow! Thank you so much.

I had no idea it was that easy.

- No, I mean with the right formula,

you could probably hit one every single time if you wanted.

- Caleb, that's impossible.

- Thomas, this is little league.

- Hey, it's mini-major.

- I highly doubt it's impossible so,

why don't you hit one every time?

- Look, if you think you're so smart,

why don't you go out there and do it?

- I could, theoretically,

it's just Newton's three laws.

- The fig people? - No,

physics.

- Look, Caleb, I'm gonna be honest with you,

I'm trying to find a way for this to end

without me making fun of you and it's not looking too good.

- What are Newton's three laws of motion, do you know?

No, you don't.

Okay, let's go over them.

Number one, when an object is in motion,

it's going to stay in motion

unless acted on by an external force.

- What now?

- Watch this.

So when Darby throws the ball, he puts it into motion

where it will stay until Ryan catches it,

acting against it and stopping the motion.

Law number two.

The relationship between an object's mass,

the applied force and it's acceleration,

is force equals mass times acceleration.

- Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

- What? - What does that mean?

- You see how Blake is swinging those three bats over there.

Well, you see how swinging kind of slow, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay, now watch this.

See, he can swing much faster, harder now.

When an object has more mass,

say three bats instead of one bat,

less acceleration is needed to get the same amount of force.

It's harder to swing three bats than it is to swing one bat.

- Oh, I got you.

- Number three.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

(metal clanking) (crowd cheering)

You see?

Ball goes up, ball goes down.

Ball hits glove, they both react.

Glove does fine, ball pops up. - [Umpire] Up, up, up, up, up.

(crowd cheering)

- Nice catch Mickey Mandel.

- And Dwight gets a triple.

- Sounds like our whole season.

- Look, it's simple.

You just do the math, you go ahead and shot.

- Hey. - What?

- That's a baseball thing, isn't it?

- You know, the fat guy.

- Babe Ruth?

- Yeah, I'm sure that was his name.

- Look Caleb, baseball is a game about people, chance,

practical application is a lot different than sciencing.

- How so?

Look, average speed is what?

Eyeballing, 55 miles per hour.

- Sure.

Seems to be largely aimed

at good distance between knee and elbows.

- Strike zone? Yeah.

- Okay well, let's see here.

Google says that the mass

of a typical baseball is 145 grams.

Then you need to hit the ball, what?

225 feet at a height of say,

seven feet to clear the fence, right?

Cool. - What?

- Swing when I say swing, you'll hit a home run.

- Don't you wanna talk to the guys about this first?

- Oh, okay.

You said you wanted to hit a home run.

- Baseball is not exactly algebra one.

- Thank you.

- I mean, you've never even played.

- Maybe you guys just need a different perspective, right?

- Baseball is about the people, the players.

We have to put our faith in each other,

not some dumb formula.

- Then put your faith in me.

How is this any different than holding

or swinging your bat some special way?

What do you have to lose?

(bright upbeat music)

Swing.

(crowd cheering) - Strike three.

(bright upbeat music)

Swing.

- Strike three. (crowd cheering)

- And miss.

(bright upbeat music)

Swing.

- Strike three. (crowd cheering)

- And miss.

- They aint listening to you, man.

(bright upbeat music)

- Thomas is up, better gear up.

- Last inning, two outs, game on the line,

cliche much?

- Listen, I'll call it Thomas,

just trust in the laws.

(bright upbeat music)

- [Oberon] Question coming up on screen.

- All right earthlings,

which law of motion explains why Bennett's glove

was knocked off by the missed flyball?

Law one: every object in motion tends to remain in motion

unless acted on by an external force.

Law two: The relationship between an object's mass,

its acceleration and the applied force

is force equals mass times acceleration,

or law three: For every action

there is an equal and opposite reaction.

(bright upbeat music)

- [Oberon] Sure you don't want me to chime in?

- Oberon, we don't need it, we already know the answer.

Bennett's glove was knocked off his hand

because of an action.

The action of the ball hitting it,

which caused an equal, but opposite reaction.

The glove being knocked off Bennett's hand

in the opposite direction, which means it's C, law three.

- [Oberon] Lock that in, Marie.

- You got it.

Oberon.

- [Oberon] I'm online.

- Oberon, the array can't handle this much power right now.

We need to unlock from some of these worlds and come back.

- [Oberon] I can't do that, Marie.

- Why not?

- [Oberon] If you drop the lock,

we leave the heroes in limbo,

we might never be able to help them again.

Our best bet is just to get through them

as quickly as possible.

- Fine.

(bright upbeat music)

- Swing. (metal clanking)

(bright upbeat music)

(crowd cheering)

- Yeah!

(crowd cheering)

- They did good having faith in you.

- Did you get that?

- Video evidence.

- You were right, Caleb.

- I told you, it's just math.

- No, it's about having faith.

- In each other.

- That's what I hear baseball is supposed to be all about.

(bright upbeat music) (crowd cheering)

(beeping)

- Two for two Oberon.

Though the stakes, there were well, not as high as before.

- [Oberon] Ours is not to judge the stakes, Marie.

- Copy that.

I'm sure that home run will mean plenty

down the line to somebody.

Now who's next?

- [Oberon] Alternate postwar, Washington DC,

one of the scarier worlds where we lend a hand.

- Power holding steady Oberon?

- [Oberon] Steady as she can.

- All right, take us to the world of the Mission: Monsters.

(upbeat music)

(gentle music) (fire crackling)

- It's 1947,

the Second World War is over and the world has changed.

Three years ago, American soldiers in the Pacific ocean

stumbled onto an island full of impossible things.

Creatures that were once animals

who can now walk, speak, and think like men

created by mad science over the course of 50 years prior.

The world debated what to do with these others.

Leave them on the island to live like abominations,

or bring them home to live with us.

Those who would come were brought here to Washington DC

in the neighborhood of Benning, where these Benning beasts

could be integrated into human society,

but they're largely left alone to live amongst themselves.

My mission through my faith is to help them

and to help the world understand them.

And sometimes with the help of a private detective

named Valerie Sideco,

helping both, means protecting them from each other.

(suspenseful music)

(clock ticking)

(door squeaking)

(footsteps thudding)

- Hi Inbar,

this is Valerie,

remember? I talked to you,

I told you she wanted to speak with you.

The private detective, you remember what that means, right?

- Like Sam Spade?

- Forgot how much you liked the radio.

Exactly like Sam Spade.

- Thank you for meeting us.

(suspenseful music)

- Oh, Valerie.

Others tend to have a fascination with five fingers.

You see their creator through,

- Father only gave the prophets five.

- We're here about your brother Ivan.

No Ivan, my brother's name is Japthulu.

- Inbar, let's keep it mainland names here, remember?

You're no on the island anymore.

- We know your brother was involved in a robbery,

a stolen side-stripe jackal

from a habitat at the national zoo.

- Yes, Ivan was part of it.

I know where he is.

- Okay,

well, where is he?

- Sam Spade doesn't get it that easy.

- Inbar, what are you doing?

This isn't a game, do you understand?

If you can't help us find him, the wrong people might.

You know others don't have the same protections

as the rest of us.

- I wanna know something.

What have I,

these have my eyes, but which one?

- Inbar, why do you think we would know?

- Make the words tell you.

- I don't really have others in here Inbar.

- Tell me what I was born as.

- Peculiar question to ask a missionary.

- And Sam Spade.

- See, you know what you are.

I was Hiruth, leader of my people,

now I am not.

Tell me what I am and I will give you Japthulu.

(suspenseful music)

- Are you familiar with classification Inbar, the concept?

It's a way that we can organize every living species

here on earth and it can get tricky.

See organisms, that's you and me

are classified into seven different steps

from the broadest level of classification

down to the smallest.

(suspenseful music)

- You're really gonna play science teacher with this creep.

- What would Sam Spade do?

- Nothing this nice.

- Valerie, can you tell us

the different levels of classification, please?

- Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

- Say that five times fast.

- That's the order from broadest definition to smallest.

- Only the master had a kingdom.

- Different kind of kingdom Inbar.

See it's the broadest classifier.

Once we find out what kingdom you are

that can help us determine everything else.

- My kingdom?

I rule?

- You're still not getting it, Inbar.

- Look at it this way, you're not bacteria,

protozoa, fungus, or flower, are you?

- The flowers have a king?

- The animalia, you're an animal.

Okay, so now that we know you're an animal,

we can only look at qualifiers within this kingdom.

This will help take us

to the next level of classification, your phylum.

You get how this is working,

how they're all funnel into each other,

getting smaller like this?

- There's almost 30 different phylum here.

- Most of these are worms.

- (laughing sarcastically) A kingdom of worms.

- There, chordata,

anything with a backbone.

- That's the qualifier.

Having a backbone is all.

- Now, class.

- I heard the master once,

we are of a lower class than man.

- That's not true Inbar.

- The master was wrong?

- A different kind of class.

Now, this is an easy one, mammal.

- Just like us.

- I'm like you.

- Yeah.

Hair, it's the qualifier.

You see, the higher level of classification,

the less specific the definitions are,

so for right now, you're just like me.

- Just like you?

- That'll change further along.

(suspenseful music)

(clock ticking)

(suspenseful music)

I think your genus is canis.

Dogs, wolves, that kind of thing.

- You think? - Then you know what I am.

- Inbar, the further down on these classifications

that we get, the more specific the qualifiers and your,

- Your otherness has altered most of the features

we're supposed to look for. - Right.

I don't know if you used to be moderately sized,

or if you had shorter ears,

or what your original leg length was.

- You said you were someone who would help me.

- We tried to help you,

but I'm finished sitting here

pretending I'm gonna just play games with you,

not when this much is on the line.

We're trying to help your family.

Look, we understand a thing or two

about identity crisis, okay?

We don't fit our molds.

He's a missionary to beast people,

I'm a woman trying to solve a crime no one's paying me for

and you were a bad science experiment.

(Inbar growls) I'm sorry.

Maybe at one time we were all what we're supposed to be.

Maybe Ivan, wasn't always a criminal,

but all that matters is what we are now

and I don't have time to sit here and philosophize about,

(clock ticking)

- What's going on?

- A diversion so that his brother can get out of town.

- You said you would help me, Mason.

- You've been misleading us Inbar.

- Are you a man who keeps his word?

- Tell me where he is or I'm bringing you in instead?

- Who are you, Mason?

- Wait, wait. I think I know.

- Oberon,

Oberon.

- [Oberon] It's better, I have it.

- This is not good.

- [Oberon] New question coming in, but let's hurry.

(beeping)

Okay, what species was Inbar born as?

Let's look at our options here.

First, red Fox.

See if any of these sound familiar.

Kingdom: Animalia,

Phylum: Chordata,

Class: Mammalia,

Order: Carnivora,

Family: Canidae,

Genus: Vulpes,

and Species: V. vulpes.

Next, brown bear.

Kingdom Animalia,

Phylum Chordata,

Class: Mammalia,

Order: Carnivora,

Family: Ursidae,

Genus: Ursus,

Species U. arctos.

Side-striped jackal.

Kingdom: Animalia,

Phylum: Chordata,

Class: Mammalia,

Order: Carnivora,

Family: Canidae,

Genus: Canis,

Species: C. adustus.

Leopard, Kingdom: Animalia,

Phylum: Chordata,

Class: Mammalia,

Order: Carnivora,

Family: Felidae,

Genus: Panthera,

Species: P. pardus.

Okay, which of these four?

We know that Inbar is Kingdom: Animalia,

Phylum: Chordata,

Class: mammalia,

and Order: Carnivora, is the same for all of these,

so we have to look beyond those.

His family is Canidae,

that gets rid of brown bear and leopard,

which means we have to look at genus.

Inbar's is canis, so is the side-striped jackal,

the very thing Inbar's brother stole.

Oberon. - [Oberon] Here.

- Do you still have power to Genesis?

- [Oberon] Let's try it. (beeping)

(suspenseful music)

- He's not far from the Batannic,

An abandoned rail house on 7th and Avery, 2147.

He plans to take the animal back to the island,

where they both can be free.

- I'm on it.

Mason, call it in.

- Ivan must have known,

that's why he stole it, isn't that right?

Because you both used to be one.

Is that the reason for all this Inbar?

I mean, you just wanted to know

why your brother became a criminal?

- You're a good man, Mason.

You know who you are, you're not ashamed,

but I am no longer Hiruth

and that now I'm no longer a brother.

So what am I?

Am I a bad experiment?

A monster?

Should I be ashamed?

That's something I need the answer to,

just like you.

(engine blasting)

(beeping)

- This retrofit really did a number on you Oberon.

- [Oberon] I feel it in my bones.

- But you're right,

there is no way to reroute power,

no way to unlock the worlds.

We've just gotta keep going.

- [Oberon] Right, down to the 1950s, to Mexico,

in pursuit of the out of place.

- The world of Journal Against the Unknown,

take us there.

(engine blasting)

(suspenseful music)

(soft acoustic music)

- The name's John Patton Jr. and I'm an archeologist.

Which I suppose is a $10 way of saying,

"I'm a treasure hunter with morals."

Maybe just scientist is a better fit.

A long time ago, I found something I couldn't explain,

something out of place and ever since then,

I've hunted for answers,

and maybe someday I'll find something else

that's out of place that'll answer my questions.

At least that's the only excuse I could offer Avi

for why I'm spending my summer in these humid foothills

with a know-it-all grad student,

instead of back home with her and the kids.

My gut was telling me it was dirty pool before I left,

I should have listened.

But my gut isn't exactly what science is about.

- Well?

- So Where exactly did you say you found this a Emile?

- I didn't, that one John,

the German farmer Spark did.

- Sorry, Spark where'd he find it?

- Six miles south of Akumbagro, but the trail

that Emile and I took the rest of these.

It continues onto our site here and like the others,

this spot was classified years ago

as a likely settlement of the ancient Guachachile.

- So you think the Guachachile made these

before the Spanish were here?

- Well.

- You realize the implications.

I mean, you know what that looks like.

- A dinosaur.

- An Apatasorous, yes.

A seamless reconstruction of what we expect them

to have looked like based on 20th century science.

Lacking our knowledge of paleontology and the fossil record,

how could the Guachachile have had

such an accurate depiction of dinosaurs, John?

Unless, - Unless they lived among them

- Now that might be a bit of a stretch, Emile.

- Even if these weren't such obvious fakes.

- What?

- I'm sorry, but what my very rude,

graduate assistant meant to say

is that we are skeptical

that these will hold up to scrutiny.

I don't know what to say.

- I found them John,

in the dirt with my own hands.

- It's possible they were planted,

or maybe they're not pre-Colombian.

More recent artisan crafts of imagination maybe.

- And where is your evidence for such claims, John?

- Where's the evidence to prove

that these are what you say they are.

The dinosaurs died 60 million years before humans existed

and it's preposterous and an outlandish assumption

not fit for a scientist.

- What's preposterous is your arrogance.

If you already have all the answers,

then why are you even here?

- Wasting my time apparently.

- My father understands the importance of bold ideas.

Vision and cunning are what led

to the next great discoveries,

not cynical school boy skepticism.

- Well, I appreciate the prognosis but,

- No! She's right Elton.

You're being dismissive.

We are scientists, that means we are objective.

We consider the evidence,

we test our theories and we make the right call.

Not based on assumptions,

not based on our systems of belief, but based on the facts.

- John, the burden of proof is on them, not us.

- I'm not talking about proving anything, Elton.

I am talking about the proper way

for a scientist to do things.

(upbeat music)

- John, I'm obviously quite familiar

with the scientific method.

- I don't think you are Elton,

so let's review.

We ask scientific questions in a very specific way.

The scientific method.

Purpose, research, hypothesis,

experimentation, and analysis.

Those are the steps that you're going to get from us Emile,

not arrogant bravado,

if that's okay with you Elton.

- Fine.

- Okay, so,

purpose.

So we wanna know the date that these artifacts

were actually created, right?

For an archeologist, date is as important a key as location

for determining context,

and redefining what we know about history.

Next is research.

What background information can we provide for our question?

The more context we can give ourselves,

the easier finding a solution will be going forward.

In our case, from what period of Mexican history

have other artifacts to this style have been discovered?

Next, hypothesis.

So what do we think the answer is?

Now, obviously we may differ in opinion on this,

but let's just say for the sake of argument

that these artifacts really are over 500 years old.

Next, experimentation.

Time to test that hypothesis

with a specific set of scientific procedures.

In archeology, to experiment is to excavate.

So Emile, since you've already done that,

we will need all of your notes

and any pertinent details you may have from each site.

Lastly, analysis.

Record what happened,

call together as much information

as you can from that experiment.

If you're a chemist,

you write down what happened when you mixed up the potions,

but us, we are pursuing relationships.

Relationships between things,

how they rest in the dirt

and how they correspond to one another,

and what that may say about our artifacts.

- Well?

- I'm sorry Emile, but the kid's right.

My analysis indicates that these are likely fakes.

- You can't see it John, can you?

I wouldn't expect the kid to see beyond the obvious,

but with what you've told me,

what you've seen.

- Emile, there are a lot of red flags here.

Lack of natural deterioration.

There's no wear from aging, there's no chipping,

there's no missing pieces,

there's not even impacted dirt in the sockets of the eyes.

It's a plant,

and a poor one.

- Circumstantial evidence at best.

You don't want to believe.

- I'm sorry, but whether or not I want to believe it,

is not what science is about.

- Then what about this?

(suspenseful music)

(crickets chirping)

(footsteps thudding)

(suspenseful music)

(footsteps thudding)

(grunting)

(suspenseful music)

- I wanted to believe it,

that's for sure.

For years, I'd searched for a way to explain this thing.

An anomaly I'd taken to calling the itinerant man

and for a moment, I almost forgot what science was about.

(suspenseful music)

You're being played Emile

and science can prove to you by who.

- Oberon.

- [Oberon] I'm here.

- Oberon, what's the new question?

- [Oberon] Coming up now.

- So in what order will John use the scientific method?

We know all the parts.

Analysis, experimentation, purpose,

research, and hypothesis,

we've just gotta organize them correctly.

What do you think?

Oberon, you ready to get this down?

- [Oberon] I reckon you-

- I better arrange these myself.

All right.

In order to begin anything,

we need to know why we're doing it, purpose.

Once we know our purpose,

we know where to start looking.

And before we get our hands dirty,

we need as much information as we can find on our topic,

that's research.

After research, we should know enough about our topic

to start making an educated guess about

what's gonna happen when we start work?

That's our hypothesis.

And once we know what we're looking for and what we expect,

we can start with our hands on research,

experimentation.

Which leads us to the process of determining

our conclusion on a topic,

analysis.

Oberon, can you send this?

- [Oberon] The rate of power, (alarm blaring)

- Oberon.

- [Oberon] Help.

Let's try it.

- Punch it.

(suspenseful music)

- The power of science, Emile,

is despite all its limiting factors,

it can still be trusted to remain objective,

even when we ourselves cannot.

So purpose,

to expose the culprit here, the hoaxer.

Research,

in Argentina, Emile, when we were in Argentina,

I told you about my experience in confidence,

but you didn't keep that to yourself, did you?

That's what I thought.

So hypothesis,

I'm gonna keep this one to myself for now.

Experimentation,

I suppose if I was going to launch

a full investigation, Amelia,

I'd look at your whereabouts for the last few weeks,

I'd analyze your clothing

for any incriminating samples of soil or clay,

I'd interview local artisans about whether or not

materials of the same composition as these

out of place phenomena were recently sold

to someone of your description.

Analysis,

I think it's pretty clear from your reaction

that you've proven my hypothesis correct?

I'm sorry, Emile.

- Why Amelia?

Why would you do this?

- Because I knew you were right dad

and I wanted to prove it.

- By making a mockery of how I've invested my entire life.

(somber music)

- Dad,

dad!

I know it was wrong, but he'd given up,

even though he is right and I couldn't let that happen.

He had to keep searching. The truth is too important.

- Nice job professor.

I mean, I knew they were fake,

but I never would've guessed

they were planted by the daughter.

Can you believe that they buy into such foolishness?

- What's foolish Elton,

is to forget that while science may provide us an answer,

but it will never suppress the question.

Everyone has a right to believe in something,

even scientists.

(somber music)

- You saw something once, didn't you?

What?

- I don't know.

I've gotta hunch, sure,

and I've got my beliefs too,

but that's not what science is about

and until I find out the right way,

I've gotta be okay not knowing.

(suspenseful music)

(soft acoustic music)

- We were connected to too many worlds at the same time

and along with this stream,

and all of our retrofiting to support it,

we overtaxed the array.

Oberon's gone,

I'm on my own, but it's not over yet.

We can still Genesis without Oberon, though it's risky.

But I can't drop our link until we've helped the last world

and with the link on,

there's no way to recycle the system and try to save Oberon.

Getting through this right, is our only hope.

Last stop,

the world of literature's two most famous best friends,

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

(engine blasting)

(birds chirping) (lighthearted music)

(fly buzzing)

- Surprise our sign didn't scare off that huckster, Tom.

You sure his camp's gonna be this far inland?

- That rascal's a smart one, that's for sure.

He reckoned most folks

had to come to your conclusions, Hucky.

And how about the skeeters get hereabouts in the summer?

Well, mostly reckon the same man couldn't stand it,

but he can't outsmart a couple of detectives with pedigree,

like us.

- Now, I've never been accused of having pedigree

my whole life, Tom.

(lighthearted music) (skeeters buzzing)

- How's that vinegar working for you, huh?

- The only thing for skeeters, Tom,

that and possum guts, but I don't got none of them handy.

- Now, this nickle bottle repellent,

seems to be more an attractive.

Could you spare a few splashes

to help me keep those parasites at bay?

- These blood suckers Tom,

but that's how they're made.

You don't gotta call them that mean a name.

- Well Hucky, that's what they are.

- You're cold, Tom Sawyer.

Pap Finn used to call me that, parasite.

I reckon I've been called worse, but I don't know when.

- Huck Finn, you blatherskite, that's what they are.

A parasite is a critter that lives off something else.

Like how skeeters have to suck our blood to survive.

- Kinda wish you didn't know that Tom.

You didn't know Pap calls me as a blood sucker.

- I'm not speak ill of the dead Huck but,

I wouldn't put no stock in anything your Pap Finn ever said.

Besides, he meant it in a metaphorical sense.

Like you live off folk, 'cause you skip out of school

and have no occupation, but he ain't nothing Huck.

- Even so, - Hucky,

you ain't no parasite,

not the blood sucking kind nor the metaphorical kind.

(gentle music)

Now this huckster we're hunting up, Mr. James Holden,

now he's a parasite

and there ain't a place for that kind in this world.

Selling the whole blame town of St. Petersburg

on buying brand new security systems

for their homes and shops.

Starting up all kinds of trouble

and getting the whole town whatever,

some robberies that were 20 miles down the river.

And getting to turn on their friends and neighbors

and not trust anyone.

Even the postmaster and the good, righteous Scarlet

and Janet.

And then, all of a sudden,

during Sunday go-to-meeting time,

ransacking the whole blame town and making for the river.

- That's how I figured it too, Tom.

With no steamboats due till tomorrow morning,

guess he has to be out here.

Unless he powered for the Illinois shore.

- No, that rascal's still here.

(suspenseful music) (birds chirping)

- A deadfall.

- Yep.

Looks like he rigged up

some of his security traps out here too.

Had we tripped the pull line,

the wire would've dropped that counterweight,

and we be captives fast.

I read Hucky,

that wire drops at 32.2 foot per second square.

- Them big words just to say you ain't outrunning that.

- Sure.

It's all account of potential and kinetic energy Hucky.

- I think it's all account on

everything that goes up's, gotta come down.

- Exactly Huck, that's just the way they're saying it.

See that big cage back there had the potential for energy,

because gravity was pulling on it trying to bring it down,

but couldn't, on account of the counterweight.

Once you trip the counterweight,

well, gravity gets a hold and (Huck claps)

Exactly Huck?

See, once gravity gets a hold,

all that energy that the cage had the potential to have,

well it grows into it real quick.

You've got to remember,

that speed and mass affect the amount of kinetic energy

an object has,

so heavy cage way up there just dropping

would be a whopper.

- I don't need all the details Tom,

I reckon I get the big picture.

Huck Finn, this detective business is all about the details.

- Tom. (suspenseful music)

A noise maker.

This rascal's keeping the thrills fresh, ain't he?

- Yep.

- More potential energy gonna make trouble for us

if it finds its legs, Huck.

If this saplings all bent back,

got free of this wire and went back to normal

like it wants to.

- It'd make quite a ruckus, huh Tom?

- Sound travels at about 760 miles per hour, Hucky.

Best to avoid having to outrun that number.

(lighthearted music) (birds chirping)

- Reckon that Holden still has Aunt Polly's Bible

he stole from out of her lock cabinet?

- I reckon he still got all his pilfering Huck.

One fence it to is a few days from St. Petersburg

where I figured.

- I reckon I'd never seen no one

so out of sorts over her book though, Tom.

She didn't even read that one.

Otherwise she would've had it with her

when the crook struck.

- That's what they call sentimentality, Huck Finn.

- Oh, I know that one, Tom.

I had an awful lot of sentimentality

over Joe Harper's dead tooth,

I won one of them been playing marbles.

May not be as good as that golden knob you had once Tom,

but it was the best thing I ever owned,

it was a prize Huck.

And I wouldn't take too kindly to some pilfer

making off with it either.

Taking all these folks possessions

that they care about,

like how I cared about that rotten tooth.

It ain't right, Tom.

- I told you Hucky, a parasite,

ain't a place in this world for that kind of man.

(suspenseful music)

Look past those trees.

- It's his camp, Tom. - Shh.

(suspenseful music)

And I bet that trip wire is his last line of defense.

The warning trap to beat all warning traps.

- How's that one work Tom,

some kind of potential for kinetic energy?

- Well, it's hard to see from where we are Huck,

but that's likely true.

- I think it's best if we ought to avoid it

if we're sneaking in there.

(leaves rustling)

- Wait a minute.

Hucky though, I've got an idea?

- How's that, Tom?

- Listen, we can use his traps against him.

Take the biggest amount of potential energy

and make it kinetic.

You go on ahead to the edge of the woods and hide there,

but be sure to stay clear the trails,

I've got plans for them.

When you see me take off running,

then no good Holden should be right behind me.

If he is, then you go and get back all his loots

and then we take it back to them that belongs to.

- You sure about this Tom?

- Trust me Hucky.

(lighthearted music) (birds chirping)

(upbeat music) (birds chirping)

(tins rattling)

(grunting)

- I see you, come here you cracker.

(upbeat music)

(gun blasting)

- Tom.

(upbeat music)

- All righT, I'm manually toggling up the question.

Which of Holden's traps has the greatest potential energy?

A, The noise maker cans.

B, The falling cans by his tent.

C, The cage trap.

Okay, this should be an easy one.

What did Tom say about potential for kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy, we know is energy

that's actively being spent,

energy in motion.

So for instance, if the cage trap actively dropped,

the energy being spent while it's dropping

is its kinetic energy,

but when the cage is hung at rest, above the ground,

because gravity is pulling on it, it has potential energy,

so do the pair of noise maker cans.

But if they all have potential energy,

how do we know which is the greatest?

What did Tom say?

That, "Height and mass

affect the amount of potential energy and item has."

So more mass means more potential energy.

What's got more mass you think?

A giant cage or some tin cans?

It's gotta be C.

I can lock it in, but it's likely gonna cut off our stream.

My only hope is if we're right,

once we've released this final world,

I can get Oberon back online.

(knob cranking)

Here we go.

(birds chirping)

- You think you're so clever.

- Where's Tom?

- They don't care for you, you dirty street rat.

- I ain't a street rat.

- You pretending.

I knew your Pap, Huckleberry Finn.

You're one of us, not one of them.

You see how quick they are to turn on one another,

to distrust and suspect their neighbors.

They known their whole life of covetous and pilfering.

You think they can think of you

any kind of way besides a filthy, mean-spirited,

son of Pap Finn,

the most useless man this town's ever known?

You owe 'em nothing.

You get me out here and we take off down the river

among our kind, living our way,

'cause boy, we ain't nothing but good old social parasites.

It's how we made it,

it's who we are,

ain't no place in this world for our kind.

(lighthearted music) (birds chirping)

- I'm no blood sucker, nor no metaphor,

least wise, I'm no parasite.

I'm Huckleberry Finn, and I'm Tom Sawyer's best friend.

- You bet you are, Huck.

- Tom.

(uplifting music)

- Sorry, I saw that my plan worked.

That this rascal forgot all about his traps

and walked right into it,

and he's kept on blowing that pistol of his

and trying to get free and I just kept running.

- I don't blame you nothing, Tom Sawyer.

- Did you get the swag?

- Aunt Polly's Bible and all.

- Let's make tracks back to town and get the sheriff.

I'm sure he'll be mighty interested in our day's doings.

(uplifting music) (birds chirping)

- Let me go.

I promise I'll turn myself in.

I'll be a better man, the rest of my days.

I swear. (skeeters buzzing)

- Say we should help him Tom,

at least with those skeeters.

- Now Huck, let it never be said,

that Tom Sawyer won't take no pity on his fellow men.

(lighthearted music) (skeeters buzzing)

- Hey Tom, I thought you called that an attractor?

(shouting indistinctly) (skeeters buzzing)

- Getting worse.

(skeeters buzzing)

- Oberon, are you there?

Oberon,

can you?

- [Oberon] Oberon action, coming at you.

- Welcome back to the world of lucid.

- [Oberon] Maybe let's not lock

into that many worlds again, huh?

- Or maybe we should just finish those upgrades?

(beeping)

All right, that's gonna do it for this stream earthlings,

but our adventures are far from over.

Once I get Oberon back into shape,

together we'll answer our next call

for adventures that make you smarter.
