[This is the opening sequence, introducing viewers to the season.]
Dr. K[A black screen appears.] Listen carefully, okay. We don't have a lot of time. [Animation plays in the background as she narrates.] It started three years ago. The World Internet Federation reported the appearance of an aggressive new computer worm: the Venjix Virus. A year later, it was estimated that Venjix had already infected thirty-seven percent of the world's computer systems. By then, it was too late: Venjix took control of the world's communication, power, and defense systems. He built armies of advanced robotic soldiers that laid waste to everything in their path. There was no stopping him, and Venjix declared victory.
Venjix [Appears as a glowing red disc.]: I am Venjix. Your world is now my world, and your time is now over!
Dr. K
But it's not over, not yet. If you can hear my voice, please, go now to the domed city of Corinth. It's the only place we can be safe. But you have to make it inside the city walls before the defense shield is activated. Please, hurry!
DDillon
Where did all this stuff come from?
Dr. K
It came from me. Come in. I'll show you. [The doors to her lab open, and the Series Operators enter.] Three years before the Venjix virus attack, I was the leader of a research team developing exoskeletal robotic suits to amplify human strength and speed. We were attempting to harness the human body's natural electrical output to prolong the suits' battery life when we had a breakthrough: the discovery of a universal bio-electric field, an unseen energy grid that connects the life force of all living things. Manipulating this field allowed for unimagined advances in technology--including these: the Ranger Prototype Series Covert Infantry Bio-Suits. [Lights come on in the housing compartments containing the Series Red, Blue, and Yellow suits.]
DDillon
[sarcastically, while looking at the suits] Right, because nothing says "covert" like bright red, yellow, and blue, spandex.
Dr. K
That is not spandex!
Doc K can get a little defensive about his work.
Dr. K
The material is a self-assembling nano-fiber formed with an inter-cellular shape memory alloy.
DDillon
My mistake. Now is that machine washable, or strictly dry clean only?
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
It's time to celebrate your first year with us here at Alphabet Soup. Happy birthday, K! [He and his partner clap as K blows out the candles on her cake.]
Young K
Can I go outside now?
GWGovernment Worker (Female)
K, we've been over this: You're a very sick little girl, and the sun makes you unwell.
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
Maybe next year. [The handlers remove the table and the birthday cake.]
GWGovernment Worker (Female)
You know what could be really fun in the meantime? [They present her with a board with complex formulas.]
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
You could try cracking these series of encrypted rocket codes.
GWGovernment Worker (Female)
Or you can designs us a thermal-sensitive guidance system.
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
How about deducing the macro-molecular origin of these bio-toxins?
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
Happy birthday, K. [He and his partner clap as K blows out the candles. They then remove the cake from the table and replace it with a notebook computer.]
GWGovernment Worker (Female)
We need you to write us a very special computer program.
K
Can I go outside?
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
"Outside"? Sorry, honey. You're still very, very allergic to the sun.
GWGovernment Worker (Female)
Maybe next year. Now don't forget to make your birthday wish.
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
You do have a wish, don't you?
K
[sighing] I wish I could remember my name.
Dr. K
[As she runs up the steps to her room with Gem and Gemma, with a notebook computer in her hand.] I'm getting out of here, and I'm taking you two with me!
Dr. K
Don't you get it? We aren't allergic to sunlight. We never have been! It was all a lie.
But we don't have access--
To Alphabet Soup security computers!
Dr. K
I don't need access. I just need to blind the servers for a few minutes with this--a wireless upload of the Venjix virus. [Puts down the notebook at her desk, powering it on.] It's a self-aware, self-generating computer virus. Meet Project: Venjix. [She presses a button, activating the Venjix virus. Guards from Alphabet Soup then enter her room and detain Gem and Gemma.
Dr. K
No! Gem, Gemma, no! [Panicking, she takes out a flash drive that contains the firewall to contain Venjix. Guards come in and attempt to detain her.] NO! YOU HAVE TO LET ME INSTALL THE FIREWALL TO STOP IT! [Dr. K frees herself from the guards' grip.] OR VENJIX WILL SPREAD BEYOND ALPHABET SOUP! [Guards finally capture her.] NO! I JUST WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE! NO, PLEASE, IT COULD INFECT THE ENTIRE WORLD!
[Mockingly] You pride yourself on how smart you are, don't you? But you still royally messed up, didn't you? [Dr. K angrily fires her sound cannon. Another flashback begins, this time to Alphabet Soup, now under attack by Venjix forces.]
Dr. K
[Recording a message into a computer, putting on a white cloak in preparations to escape Alphabet Soup.] A year later, it was estimated that Venjix had already infected thirty-seven percent of the world's computer systems. But it's not over, not yet. [Explosions in the background.] If you can hear my voice, please, go now to the domed city of Corinth. {She puts away the Ranger Series technology into a black briefcase.] It's the only place we can be safe! But you have to make it inside the city walls before the defense shield is activated. Please, hurry! [Explosions rock the compartment, and Dr. K leaves, but not before being intercepted by her handlers.]
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
Sorry, Dr. K. Give us the computer. It's for your own good.
GWGovernment Worker (Female)
Sorry, K. No one can know that Venjix started here. [An explosion rocks the compound.]
Dr. K
This Ranger technology is our only chance of fighting Venjix. I have to get it out of here!
GWGovernment Worker (Male)
[As he and his partner draw weapons.] I'm sorry, Dr. K. [The two handlers are taken out off screen. Gem and Gemma reappear.]
Dr. K
I'm glad we're friends!
Are we! [An explosion rocks the compound, triggering an alarm.]
Head for the exit, Doctor.
We're going back for the classified Gold and Silver Series. [The two head off to another compartment.]
Dr. K
Gem, Gemma, wait! No, we don't have time! [An explosion kicks up dust as Gem and Gemma go past it. Dr. K fears that they have died.] GEM, GEMMA, NO! [Return to the present. Dr. K appears guilt-ridden and emotionally exhausted.]
Dr. K [observing Summer]: I understand your dilemma.
Summer [incredulous]: Sorry, what dilemma?
Dr. K [as she makes her cereal]: You find Ranger Series Red attractive because he represents the guy who can give you solid security: the boy next door, trustworthy, responsible, the kind you take home to Mother. At the same time, you're hopelessly drawn to the excitement and danger of Ranger Series Black, the tortured and mysterious bad boy you think you can save.
Dr. K
Comparing the raw data on a cuteness scale is also difficult, with one scoring a solid nine, while the other registering the cuteness scale's maximum score of ten.
Summer [curious]: Which one do you think is the ten?
Dr. K
Why? Which one do you think is the ten? [Klaxon blares.]
Dr. K
Gem and Gemma have confronted me with the possibility that, in an effort to protect myself from future emotional trauma, I may have treated some of you with a degree of forced emotional detachment, perhaps even bordering on coldness.
"Bordering on coldness," you say?
Summer [sarcastically]: That's ridiculous, Doctor.
Dillon [sarcastically]: You must be imagining it.
Dr. K [not grasping the sarcastic responses]: No, no, I'm afraid it's true. My insistence on referring each of you by your color series instead of by your real names is a perfect example. And, so, as your mentor--
Mentor? How can you be our mentor? Aren't we all older than you?
Dr. K
As your mentor, in an effort to make my feelings clear in an official capacity, I have the following announcement. [Looks at Gem and Gemma, who prod her on. Paces quickly towards Scott.]
Dr. K
Ranger Series Red, I greatly admire your honor, integrity, decision-making ability, and unusual hair. I feel lucky to have you as the leader of my team, Scott.
Scott [surprised]: Well, thank you, Doctor. [Gets a hug from Dr. K.] Whoa, what are you--what are you doing? [Dr. K lets go and paces towards Summer.]
Dr. K
Ranger Series Yellow, as the only other female in the group, I want you to know that my feelings of fondness for you are so strong, they override even my base biological instincts to undermine and sabotage you in an effort to monopolize the attention of the males. Thank you, Summer.
Summer [surprised]: Sure, Doctor, the feeling's mutual, I think. [Gets a hug from Dr. K. She lets go and then paces towards Flynn.]
Dr. K
Ranger Series Blue, your passion, optimism, and delightfully musical, though often incomprehensible accent, are what make you the heart of the Rangers, Flynn.
Happy to help out in whatever--okay. [Gets a hug from Dr. K. She lets go and then paces towards Dillon.]
Dr. K
And Ranger Series Black--[Dillon turns around, whistling and walking away, when Flynn stops him. He turns around to humor her.] Even though you are clearly psychologically unstable and here against your will as part of a work-release agreement, I still consider you a true hero, Dillon. [Scott snickers. Dr. K gives Dillon a hug. She then lets go and walks up to Ziggy, who offers her a hug.]
Dr. K [seeing Ziggy with his arms held out]: You, too, Ranger Series Green. [She then regroups with Gem and Gemma and talks to the group as a whole.]
Dr. K
You five are the only family I've ever known. I love you all very much. [Turns around and paces hurriedly back to her lab with Gem and Gemma.]
Well, that was certainly . . . awkward.
Can we please just forget that didn't happen and get back to work now?
Ziggy [upset that Dr. K did not acknowledge him]: Hey, hold on! What about me? What about all of the nice things you wanted to say about me? [Klaxon blares.]
SScott
We've got a shield breach. It's an inverse vector.
Oxygen regeneration plant at gate 43.
What about my real name? It's Ziggy. Zigg-y. Z-I-G-G--
Dillon [grabbing Ziggy]: Come on, Ranger Operator Series Green, it's playtime.
Dr. K
Are you going to arrest me, Colonel? [Sees Colonel Truman looking at a picture of himself with his late son Marcus.]
Dr. K [softly]: We all do things in life we regret. But if we don't learn from them, and move towards a brighter future, we pay twice.
Colonel Truman [sadly]: I've already paid more than most.
Dr. K
I know. And if I could access the space-time continuum long enough to undo what I did, I would. That's not possible.
Colonel Truman [hearing the Series Operators call for Dr. K's help]: Can you help them?
Dr. K
That's all I can do.
CTColonel Truman
Then help them. [Withdraws blaster.]
