Aunt Arctic led me up into the Everyday Phoning Facility, otherwise known as the EPF's cover story. This was what seemed like a phoning facility, with just one phone, but it was much more than that. It was a disguise for the actual EPF Base which was hidden under the ground. Aunt Arctic asked a few more questions. "So, I believe you've tackled the Mysterious Ninja and you were assigned by Gary, in January, to go back in time to test his trekker, but you ended up almost getting stuck in the past, am I correct?"
"Yeah, so could you actually tell me what mission I have to do?" I ask impatiently.
"Alright then. Since you've been so patient, I'll tell you. We need you as a disguise. You're the perfect cover for our other agents. Nobody will ever suspect you, because we made you famous. It was all part of the plan. Anyway, you will lead a group of penguins into the wilderness. Down the wrong side of the Ski Hill, and then behind the mountains. You've been there before, when you were working with the PSA?"
"Of course! I can remember that. Exploring Herbert's cave and all that. Is that what I'm doing?" I asked, standing in the middle of the wrecked Everyday Phoning Facility...
"Not exactly. You'll be exploring, but it shouldn't have anything to do with Herbert. In fact, we must get a search team and find him. He always seems to get away at the last moment."
"Yeah, I've noticed that. You seem to be behind on a lot of jobs. You're not updating the field-ops, the Everyday Phoning Facility is still broken, and Herbert's not been captured!"
"Well, that doesn't matter. We're working on that. Thanks for reminding me, though. I'll get another team and they'll fix this place up. Anyway, you're job is to send a group of other agents with you, and you'll explore the wilderness for signs of other life forms, like puffles, find anything you can. There's something really suspicious going on in the wilderness, so we set you up to find out who and what it is!"
"Oh great, could you be more exact? And who will I be working with?"
"Well, if I told you what you were looking for, then the rumours would spread quickly. so I can't tell you. And the same penguins who were making the movies will be with you. They are all perfect agents! The acting part was just so I can watch a good movie on Friday Night! You, Brownielox, Bubsey, Airplane, Pizzapuffy, Pen Quen, Perapin and if you aren't that famous enough, Polo Field will be joining you! You are all such great agents. Such great actors, too. I love this job.
"Won't everybody be mad when we all disappear, because we're famous, right?"
"Of course, but I'll deal with that, dear. Did you hear, Penguin High 3 will be out soon! I'm going to get it on DVD! Hmm, first I must write an article on that." Aunt Arctic waddled away and I was left standing there. The operation would begin very soon, and when it did, there would be no traces of me and my team. But one question still remained - what were we really exploring? I couldn't believe that Polo Field was coming too! But why would all the famous penguins be leaving? Strange...
