Dr. Spike, Daphne and others in “Unfinished Business”

I would like to see who's been holding me captive all this time. (unmasks the one Fish Freak)

Daphne

Ernesto?

Hello, comrade Daphne and her fellow comrade mystery-solving teenagers. (The other 3 Fish Freaks unmask themselves)

Daphne

But aren't you against all this anti-environment stuff?

Funny you should ask. It all started when we were doing a little research into our old foe Destroido. We were going through their trash when we ran across some very interesting information: Dr. Cavanaugh's report on this giant oil deposit off Dead Man's Point. We came up with a plan to make enough money to fund our various protests. We were gonna drill for the oil ourselves and sell it.

You were doing this for cash?

You have no idea how expensive it is to be a grassroots activist! After we found the location of the oil platform, all we had to do was scare off anyone who started nosing into our business. And we would have, too, if that meddling mermaid had kept her fin to herself and never contacted you.

Velma

Hold on. Are you telling us that you were going to cause a major environmental disaster in order to get the cash to protest against major environmental disasters?

Yes! You must be willing to kill the environment to save it.

Uhh... no. I don't think that's right.
