Odd Squad: The O Files

Chapter 2: The Arrival

"Thank you!" said Oscar as he walked onto the stage to a standing ovation. Ms. O clapped the loudest of all. She felt proud for the new head of scientists. After all, he had been the faithful director  of her lab for about 15 years, not to mention helping on some of their biggest cases and inventing the first lab of all Odd Squad. Granted, he wasn't the first scientist, but he helped pave the way for modern science at Odd Squad, and obviously they wouldn't be all here today if not for his discovery. She felt confident for Oona, but still missed her old pal.

"Hey guys!" he said humbly into the microphone in front of about a thousand agents. He promptly got back a response of feedback. Some assistants rushed over to try to fix the microphone and Oscar fumbled with his tie.

Meanwhile, Otto's badge phone rang across the aisle. "Probably! I will probably love you forever-" Otto blushed as he struggled to answer it. Olive looked over at Ms. O and winked. "O-T-T-O. Yeah, I'm here. you ready? Uh Huh." Olive looked sternly at her partner. Up on the stage, the assistants had finished. "Okay, let's hope it works this time, hehe." Oscar mumbled.  He cautiously stepped up to the microphone. "Um, Hey guys?"

Blaring from the  speakers all around came Rock Music.

"His tie is green, his coats are clean, his name is Oscar! Oscar is awesome! Oscar is awesome!" The audience laughed and then stood up and clapped again for the blushing Oscar while Otto rocked from side to side. "My work here is done." "Otto!" cried Olive. "Hehe very funny my friend!" Said Oscar from up on stage. Otto gave him a silent thumbs up. "Thanks again everyone. I have gathered you all here today because of our new planet! It's super exciting right? But, The reason we're here is because this planet may have life on it. Take a look at this. "

From inside his lab coat he pulled out a remote and zapped it at the building, slowly the building began to change. A giant screen appeared  on the ceiling and the roof began to open up, revealing a giant telescope that began to protrude from the building and slowly into the sky.

"This my friends," He said, "Is our new planet."

"It's beautiful." Said Olympia next to Ms. O.  "What do you call it?" called someone from the audience.  "We don't know yet." said Oscar. "But for now, I call it: Planet Oprah." He winked toward the audience.  Ms. O  blushed.  "However it was not I who first spotted this planet. Octavia!" Octavia rushed on. Ms. O cocked her head. She hadn't seen Octavia in about half a year. Now she knew where she had been as she walked onto stage with "The Ambassador".

"Right. it was him. As we all know, this the Ambassador of the Cat people across the river He contacted me about a month ago about something strange he saw while stargazing. And now, why don't we let him tell his own story." The Ambassador looked at Oscar impatiently. "Oh, right, sorry, hehe." Oscar took off his bow tie, placed it on the Ambassador and he began to talk.

Ocean ran in to the academy as fast as he could. "I hope I'm not too late." He said to himself. He  raced into the show building. "Ms. O! There's a dangerous creature coming! Whoa. Where am I?" "Shhh! Ocean! The ambassador is speaking." "But Ms. O!" Ocean and Ms. O squabbled. Olive looked over in concern, and even Oscar looked anxiously looked out into the audience.

The Big O stepped out from the sidelines. "What's going on here?" "Excuse me, Sir, but Set is coming!" "Who's Set? The god of Chaos? But that's a myth!"  "No sir, It's a giant-"  "I don't have time for this." 

Then, the building shook, and everyone looked up. The telescope shook. Oscar screamed "It's breaking in!"  "Meow!" The Ambassador hopped off his chair and ran into the corner. Everyone else cringed.

The building broke open and in peered a giant Squirrel.
