1/0: Okay, sounds----
*Numbuh 65.3 appears on the computer screen.*
1/0: Hey! The radium was almost dried!
65.3: Never mind that, we've got a major problem in Sector ¥ right now!
1/0: Yes?
65.3: You know the earthquake that just occured....
1/0: Is the treehouse collapsed and/or radioactive?
65.3: Well, it isn't collapsed. I'm not sure about radioactivity.
1/0: That's why I always carry a Geiger counter at all times! I also strapped a chunk of uraninite to my remote so I don't lose it.
65.3: Okay, good idea. So, how quickly can you get there?
1/0: Do we have any catapults here?
65.3: No.
1/0: Looks like it's time for Plan Z.
65.3: What about Plans B through Y?
1/0: I'm skipping those because they are potentially life-threatening and probably illegal.
*1/0 calls Sector ¥.*

One of the members of Sector Yen picks up.
Sector Yen Operative: We are radioactive and slowly mutating! Send help immediately!

1/0: Okay, I'll try calling the highest authority I know.
*1/0 calls 362. He waits a little bit, and gets VoiceMail.*
1/0: Well, that didn't work. I'll try calling the SECOND-highest authority I know.
*1/0 calls 86.*
86: Hello?
1/0: Numbuh 86! There's an emergency in Secto----
86: YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, YA STUPID BOY! I TOLD YOU SO MANY TIMES TO STOP CALLING ME UNLESS IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE EMERGENCY!
1/0: But it IS a----
86: ENOUGH!
*86 hangs up.*
1/0: Third-highest?
*1/0 calls 11-Teen. It, too, goes to VoiceMail.*
1/0 (to himself): Ugh... What the hell is wrong with the beaurocracy....
1/0 (to Sector Yen): Well, do you have a Geiger counter in the treehouse? I need to know how intense the radioactivity is.

Sector Yen Operative: Our Geiger counter just blew up a few minutes ago.

1/0: I'll catapult mine over!
*1/0 catapults the Geiger counter to the Sector Yen treehouse.*
1/0: Okay, there's a display on there showing the counts per minute. Can you tell me what it says?

Sector Yen Operative: It says a thousand per minute.

1/0: Thousand counts... that's about one millirem... converting to metric, dividing by 100... 0.00001 sieverts.
*1/0 pulls up the Wikipedia article for the sievert.*
1/0: According to this chart, that isn't very high at all. No acute radiation symptoms at all. In fact, a dentist X-ray has more energy than your surroundings. You're pretty lucky. You also shouldn't worry about food: at the current does, eating a year's worth will give you as much radiation as you would in a CAT scan, and it'll only be a problem if you keep eating radioactive food for the rest of your life. This better not be a joke, though. All humans are slightly radioactive, due to carbon-14. And yes, genetic mutations do sometimes occur. Nothing major, though.
*1/0 catapults over his Np.D. (Doctor of Nuclear Physics) and Ge.D. (Doctor of Genetics) Degrees*.
1/0: You see what I mean? So you should have nothing to worry about. I still have one major concern.

Sector Yen Operative: And what is that?

1/0: Our work with K.I.B.I. Has she been damaged in any way?
(K.I.B.I., codenamed Numbuh 1024, is a robotic KND operative. 1/0's joined with Sector ¥ to start building it/her.)

1/0, imitating that guy from the movie "300": This... is... BAD!
1/0, normal: No, seriously. It's bad. Very bad. I'm coming over NOW!
*1/0 catapults himself into the Sector Yen treehouse.*
1/0, while flying: So Plan A would've worked after all....
*1/0 crashes into the treehouse. *
1/0: Where is she?

The Sector Yen Operative points to a robot lying on the floor.

1/0: Ouch....
*1/0 takes a closer look.*
1/0: Doesn't seem to be too much damage.... Just some external damage. Anyone got some silicone?

(My ship is going underway in a few days, more specifically, on Friday.)
Numbuh 67: Silicone? Let's just ask Britney Spears. She seems to know a lot about it.

(What ship?)
1/0: I'll take that as no. Now, silicone is made from silcon and oxygen. Sand is also made from silicon and oxygen. Where can we get some sand?
