you Special. They look like us and they act like us. Did you just say you needed a sample of my blood like like from inside my body? I'm sorry. I've been trying to stall the high ups at Whittier, but they want answers. This was a direct order from the monarch. Who's the monarch? The big boss, the head honcho. I've never even met the monarch, but... If I don't return tonight with a blood sample from you, bad things will happen. Cyrus, Casey, where have you been?

The competition is about to begin. Principal Pelé, grab your robot and let's go. Okay, let's go, Hermione. Coming, Cyrus. Monica, do you think the girls are sitting somewhere else? Do you see them anywhere? No, maybe they went to the snack bar? As governor of this fine state, I want to welcome you all to this year's Alaskan STEM Competition.

It's inspiring to see the best and the brightest all in one room. But you don't want to hear me prattle on, so allow me to introduce the first project. Please welcome two students from Whittier Middle School in Juneau. Holiday and Buddy would never miss this. We have to find them. It's freezing in this parking lot. Let's go back inside, Holiday. Birdie, shh.

I can't hear what those Whittier guys are saying. Uh, they said they're going to grab Cyrus the second he leaves the stage. Casey obviously set us all up. What more do we need to know? Does Flashcard know about this? The order came directly from the Monarch. Or maybe she didn't set us up. The Monarch? What are we gonna do? How do we stop those guys from taking Cyrus?

The door to their van is open. I'll distract them while you grab their keys off the front seat. They can't kidnap anyone if they can't drive away. You ready? Ready. Judges, friends, family, meet Hermione. Hello, humans of Alaska.

Hermione isn't just any robot. Not only can she access the internet, speak foreign languages, and interact with humans of all ages... I'm going to the ladies room to see if the girls are there. I'll make another round of the convention hall. Making dinner reservations, scheduling appointments, writing up to-do lists...

You could have picked a lighter box for your plan. It has to feel like it has a science project in it. And it has to be big enough to block my face so they don't get a good look at me. Now, as soon as I unleash the tears, you snatch the keys. On it. Good luck. Excuse me? Um, hi. Hey, where did you come from? What's with the box? Sorry to bother you, but...

I have to get my science projects inside the room. Problem is, it's a superconductor, which means super heavy. Think you could help me? We're busy. I'm so late. The bus was delayed from Fairbanks and everyone from my whole school is counting on me. And if I don't help, I'll be stuck out here in the parking lot. Ah, fine. Just make it quick. thank you so much here you take this end and you sir if you could take this side okay bird go be careful

Oh, shoot. I forgot something in the bus. Can you wait here? I'll be back in like three seconds. Oh, come on. I'm here already behind the car. I got the keys to the van. Barty, you're awesome. The sweater guys don't know what they're up against. You got the keys to the van? I left them on the seat. Well, they're gone. You think that kid snatched them? Uh-oh. Hurry, go get Mom and Dad. I'll lead them away.

Lead them away? To where? Up there? The roof? Huffy's in my backpack. I'll keep it unzipped and he'll fly up and meet me. Ready? One, two, three. Run! There she is! Hey kid! Come back here! What is it that makes us most human, Hermione? Feelings, Cyrus. Yes! Messy, sometimes painful feelings. Hermione responds to feelings. See, even though she was created in a lab, she cares about Cyrus, and she'd never want to see him get hurt.

They weren't in the ladies room. They're not in here either. Mom! Dad! Birdie, where have you been? Where's Holiday? She's in trouble. Wow this roof is higher than it looks from the ground Okay, that's your cue hubby hubby I ever needed you hubby They're catching up to me. This is Ava DeMerry, and I play Brinley in six minutes.
