Where did all this stuff come from?
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.
SummerDoc K can get a little defensive about his work.
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?
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.
Summer
I don't think you...
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?
Why? Which one do you think is the ten? [Klaxon blares.]
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?
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.]
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.]
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.]
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.]
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.]
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.]
Summer
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.
Summer
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.
