Invasive Plant Flamethrower | P3

0:00Hello friends, welcome to Spyology Squad. We are a team of spies who specialize in science. You see Dr. Stinky breath and the purple ninjas are trying to take over the world through science, and it is up to us to stop them before it is too late. On the last episode, we saw that some kind of stinky vine thing has started covering the entire city like a giant green blanket. And the purple blimp has just taken off for who knows where. Ava is going to follow it, but let's see what happens next. Meanwhile, the blimp had just left Dr. Stinky breath's house and was headed towards the Queen's castle. The purple ninjas were headed out to gather a whole field's worth of that skunk vine. You know, that really smelly vine. Queen Ginger had genetically modified this skunk

1:03vine so that it's super stinky vines grows incredibly fast and can take over a whole ecosystem. It's a good thing that it was now nighttime because it helped Ava stay hidden behind the blimp. Ah, how like driving at night? Yeah me neither. I'm scared of owls. They always come out at night time. You're scared of owls? Owls aren't very scary. Oh yes they are. It's the look in their eyes. Very creepy. I think David have lasers they shoot out of their eyeballs. Right. Well, anyway, I think we should be safe here at the blimp. I think we have maybe another hour or so and then we should be there. Steve? Steve, where are you going? I'm gonna go get a flashlight. I need to make sure there's no owls in here. Steve, there's no owls in the blimp. Back at HQ,

2:05Mr. Jim and Jaden were in the back room, grabbing two more flamethrowers. Oh Mr. Jim, I don't like coming in this back room. All these cobwebs. Not a fan. Oh yeah, remember when we came back here to get the time machine? You got covered in cobwebs. Yes, how could I forget? Is that Jaden? I can't even still feel it. But anyways, why do we need flamethrowers? With the help of the fire department, we need to start killing vines before they take over the whole town. Now that we know from your testing that we are dealing with skunk vines, we know that we have to get rid of those invasive plants. Mr. Jim, what does invasive mean? Oh, invasive means that it's something that doesn't belong here. You see, every ecosystem has plants and animals that have always been there. We call those plants and animals native to that

3:07ecosystem. Every ecosystem works to find its balance with the plants and animals that natively live there. Oh, I get it Mr. Jim. So if something comes in that doesn't belong, does it mess up that balance? Exactly, Jaden. Invasive species can often run wild because there aren't any predators or other species to keep them in check. That's exactly why we're worried about the skunk vines. We don't want them to destroy the balance of our ecosystem. Oh, those skunk vines are going to pay for this. It's flame throwing time! Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jaden. Control burning is a very dangerous job that requires us to be super duper careful. That's why we're going to be working together with the fire department on this job. Wait, Mr. Jim, if we use a flame thrower, isn't that also going to burn the native species too?

4:08Yes, that will happen, Jaden. Fire, though, is a natural part of ecosystems. It's kind of like giving this ecosystem a fresh start. It removes all the old dead things and the invasive species, which give the native plants and animals the chance to reset that balance. But don't worry, we'll make sure the fire moves slow enough to give all the animals the time to move out of the way. Oh, God. Hey guys, this is Ava. Are you there? Over. Hey Ava, how's it going? The blend looks like it's starting to land by a huge field that is completely full of those vines. Shh. Oh no, there's more. Ava, I'm going to send our water drones to you to help you do a controlled burn of all those vines. The purple ninjas must be the ones spreading the vines everywhere. Shh. Roger that. I'll prepare my flame thrower over and out.

5:13Meanwhile, in the blimp, the purple ninjas were preparing to land next to the skunk fine field. Holy smokes. That's a lot of skunk vines. Skunks. Where? Well, Steve, that's skunks. Skunk vines. Remember the whole point of this trip was for the vines? Oh, yeah. Right. Uh, wow. How in the world are we going to fit all those vines in here? They look as big as trees. I don't know, Steve. I think we're going to need a big or blimp. Well, now that we're landed, I need you to help me grab the stuff we need. What was that? What was what? I thought I saw how I was looking at me from the trees. Steve, I promise you that owl is way more afraid of you than you are of it. Nope. I don't think that's possible because I'm very afraid. Just hand me that rope over there.

6:19Steve, Steve, are you okay? I can't move. I froze it. Okay. Uh, okay. I'm going to get to work tying the vines up to the bottom of the blimp so we can at least drag them back home. You just, uh, stay right here. Here. Hold this walkie-talkie. Let me know when you're ready. Yeah, I'll be right here. Ava was just finishing setting up her flamethrower when the water drones arrived. They would help contain the fire in the places that it needed to be. And if the fire happened to spread to places it shouldn't be, then the water drones would squirt the fire to keep it under control. All right, should be ready to rock. Said Ava, here it goes. She flipped on the switch as flames started shooting out from the flamethrower onto the skunk finds. The skunk finds immediately

7:27erupted into flames. Yes, it's working. Now I just need to burn this whole field down. On the other side of this field, the purple ninjas started to smell something burning. Hey, Steve, do you smell something burning? Uh, can you check the blimp and make sure the engine didn't blow up again? It's the owls. Owls don't smell like smoke, Steve. No, it's their laser eyes. I told you they have laser eyes. I'm getting out of here. Steve, what do you mean you're getting out of here? Just then the purple ninja watched as his blimp started to fly away. But that wasn't even the worst of it. Steve, get back here. Don't leave me here alone. We were supposed to wait. What? Fire? Fire? Steve, Steve, get back here. The field

8:34is on fire. I told you the owls had laser eyes. I'll throw rope down for you. Just just climb up. I'm not landing by those owls. Wow, great jobs, biology squad. You saved the day. Ava, Jaden, Mr. Jim and the fire department worked together the rest of the night and day to burn up the rest of the skunk finds and time before those invasive plants ruined the ecosystem. Wow, I didn't know it was so important to keep our ecosystems in balance like that. But I'm so glad that we were able to get rid of those stinky skunk finds and time before it was too late. But I have a feeling that Dr. Sinky breath has another plan up his sleeve. We'll have to wait and see what happens on the next adventure of biology squad. We'll be right back after a brief word from our sponsor. It's time for a biology squad shout out sounds they hate amazing from

9:42Montana, Grayson from California, Miles from Connecticut, Jason from Langley, British Columbia, Theo and Miles from San Antonio, Texas, Alia, Eli and Lincoln from New Hampshire. I'm so glad that you're all on our biology squad. We could not stop Dr. Sinky breath and as crew without you, my friends. If you want to join the squad, have your parents that don't know about biology squad dot com to get your free access card in the mail. This is HQ over and out.
