Loud House: Where in the world is Lincoln Sandiego

The Chasing Paper Caper

Maelstrom: Esteemed fellow VILE faculty. As you know, I, Gunnar Maelstrom, have been called demented, deranged, psychotic even. justifiable? Perhaps. But I feel these are merely labels. Safe ways to categorize my unique intellect, which enables me to see opportunity where others do not. So allow me to draw your attention to this: the very foundation of law and order in the Western World.

A huge slide show appears

Brunt: Looks more like a Lion cub sniffing it's own tail if you ask me.

Maelstrom: Uh, wrong slide. This. The Magna Carta!

The slide switches and a picture of the Magna Carta appears.

Brunt: Your saying words I don't understand.

Maelstrom: Ugh. Coach Brunt, I suspect you are familiar with the U.S. Constitution?

Brunt: Darn right. I'm Texas proud.

Maelstrom: Think of the Magna Carta as the British version of it, written more than 500 years earlier. And for the first time in history, every known original copy of this historic document, all 17 of them, will be on display under one roof. Here, at this renowned museum, in Mumbai, India. Which means we have an opportunity to steal it in the name of law and disorder.

Shadowsan: Would I be correct in assuming that you have a particular operative in mind for this misdeed, professor?

Maelstrom: The crime involves paper, does it not?

Shadowsan: she is far from ready

Maelstrom: Questioning my sanity after my compelling intro, dear Shadowsan?

Shadowsan: Carmen Santiago was unruly and undisciplined when she was a student here, and your newest star pupil is cut from the same cloth.

Maelstrom: Shall we vote? All in favor.

All other faculty members raise their hands

Shadowsan: Hmph.

Mumbai, India

Player: You sure about this, Red? I'm not picking up chatter about VILE operatives in India from any of our usual sources.

Carmen: They'll be here. I know how Professor Maelstrom's twisted mind works, and he'd never pass up an opportunity like this. Stealing the Magna Carta would be VILE's way of symbolizing that evil can triumph over law and order. At least, that's what they'd tell themselves.

Lincoln: Or, they just like causing general chaos.

Player: Maybe Lincoln. Wouldn't surprise me. in the year 1215, England was ruled by some guy named John. And if he were alive today, he'd probably feel right at home on VILE island with your former teachers Red. King John figured he could take anything he wanted just because he was in charge, he abused that power constantly.

Lincoln: So, that was the 1973 Robin Hood is based on.

Player: Yeah, and then the Archbishops of Canterbury stepped in and helped shape a set of new laws that gave citizens rights. Basic stuff like you can't be arrested for no reason, or have your house taken away from you just because the king wants it.

Carmen: These combined laws were named the Magna Carta, Latin for "The Great Charter of the Liberties." It was the chief cause of democracy in England and a huge influence on the American Constitution.

Lincoln: However didn't Ancient Athens helped start and created the first democracy.

Player: Speaking of democracy, India has more people then any other democracy in the world, which is where you happen to be sitting right now.
