(Barnacles's pov)
It's been a few days since my birthday, Nora has been going on a few missions here and there "hello love" I greeted Nora as she entered the HQ, "hello to you to barnacles" she laughed as she walked over and gave me an eskimo kiss, I turned back to my screen that I was working on and Nora started massaging my shoulders to which I purred in response, Nora laughed at my actions "I didn't know polar bears could pur" kwazii remarked, "um..kwazii they can't" saber explained, "it's more like a low deep growl but it does sound like purring" Nora explained and I nodded in agreement, just then an alert came though from tracker at the polar scout emergency post "tracker, what's going on?" I asked as the young polar bear appeared on screen, "we just got a call for help sir...um who are the new faces?" He asked curious, "they're Kwazii's sisters Kateleen peace ocean and his daughter saber and this is Nora" I explained, "Nora is the captain's girlfriend" saber added, much to my dismay, I try to keep my work and relationship separate from each other but sometimes it's unavoidable

"wow, it's nice to meet you" tracker responded, "this is tracker, he's an old protege of mine, he works at the polar scout emergency post in the arctic" I explained, "that's right, before he was the captain of the octonauts, he trained polar scouts for the emergency service" tracker explained while showing a picture of me and him from when I was a polar scout leader, "now, what seems to be the problem?" I asked, "right, I just got a call for help from an anarchic research station, I'm sending you a map now captain" tracker revealed, saber pulled up the map and I immediately noticed something "that's not right" I exclaimed, "what's not right?" Kwazii questioned, "there shouldn't be any one living in that research station, it's been abandoned for years" I explained, "well obviously someone sent the sos captain" saber remarked her father's cockney accent coming through strong, "that's why we're going to investigate, tracker, we'll keep you posted" I responded, "cool..I mean, right sir, tracker out" the young bear replied before disconnecting the call, he certainly hasn't changed much

(Saber's pov)
"Is he always like that?" I asked turning to Barnacles, "yep, he's not as professional acting as you saber, just goes to show age doesn't count for much" the captain responded, I guess me meeting tracker in person would be interesting, he's a young adult trained emergency service worker and I'm a young kitten who was found in the middle of the ocean, I come by mapfinding and navigating naturally but I've always been an octonaut for as long as I can remember, yet somehow I'm more mature than him, it's like I told my little cousins Orson and Ursa, you age with experience not the number of birthdays, that's especially true for captain barnacles
