THE THIEVES WHO STOLE JACKIE - THEY'RE GOING INTO THE CYBERPOWER VAULT BUILDING.
<Inez> JUST AS WE THOUGHT - THEY'RE AFTER THE PODDLES' CYBERPOWER!
<Matt> YOU'VE GOT TO GO IN THERE, PODDLING!
<Poddling> BUT...BUT I'M NOT ALLOWED IN THE VAULT BUILDING.
NONE OF US ARE.

IT WORKED!
WHY'D IT WORK?
<Buzz> I DUNNO.
JUST KEEP STUFFING 'EM IN.
<Delete> BUT WE'VE SPENT FOREVER JUST GETTING TWO PODS IN.
I MEAN, GEE, THIS COULD GO ON FOREVER.
<Hacker> I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE ALMOST FINISHED.
<Buzz> OH, I THINK WE ARE.
<Hacker> AS USUAL, THE BRILLIANT, EVIL MASTER-MIND MUST DO ALL THE WORK.
NOW LET'S CRACK THIS CODE... <Jackie> (GASP) OH, IT'S YOU!
<Poddling> AHUH.
<Jackie> IS THERE ANOTHER WAY INTO THE VAULT?
<Poddling> THERE'S A BACK DOOR, BUT IT'S ALSO PROTECTED BY A POD LOCK.
<Jackie> QUICK!
GRAB ONE OF EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT AND LET'S GO!
WE'VE GOT TO SOLVE THE PATTERN BEFORE THEY DO AND BEAT THEM INTO THE VAULT!
THEY GOT TWO PODS IN JUST BY GUESSING... THAT GIVES US A START.
<Jackie> GO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM WHILE I TRY TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT.
<Hacker> NOW MY NATTERING NUMBSKULLS - OBSERVE THE MASTER!
<Buzz> YEAH, EXCELLENT.
BRILLIANT, BOSS, BRILLIANT!
YEAH, IT'S DUMB LUCK, REALLY.
<Poddling> THEY'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE!
<Jackie> WHAT DO THEY HAVE NOW?
<Poddling> IT'S A TRIANGLE 7, BUT I THINK IT WAS JUST A LUCKY GUESS.
<Jackie> ALRIGHT, NOW WHAT'S THE PATTERN?
... LET ME SEE...11, 9, 7... <Jackie> I GET IT!
I GET IT!
THE PATTERN IS ODD NUMBERS GOING DOWN FROM 11.
SO, THE NEXT NUMBER SHOULD BE A 5!
HAND ME A 5!
IT WORKED!
<Poddling> YIPPEE!
<Jackie> 11, 9, 7, 5...
SO THE NEXT NUMBER HAS GOT TO BE... OH NO!
IT DIDN'T WORK!
SO WHAT IS THE PATTERN?
<Buzz> ALL RIGHT, BOSS!
<Delete> ALL RIGHT, BOSS!
<Jackie> OH NO!
THEY'RE CATCHING UP!
WE NEED HELP ON THIS.
<Jackie> MATT!
INEZ!
...CAN YOU HEAR ME?
<Inez> JACKIE!
YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.
<Jackie> I NEED YOUR HELP FIGURING OUT THE PATTERN FOR THE LOCK ON THE VAULT.
<Matt> WHAT'S THE PATTERN SO FAR?
<Jackie> I'VE GOT AN 11, 9, 7, 5.
<Inez> IT SOUNDS LIKE ODD NUMBERS.
<Jackie> ...IN DESCENDING ORDER, I KNOW.
BUT WHEN I TRIED A 3, IT DIDN'T WORK.
<Inez> HMMMM... <Matt> SHE TOLD US THE NUMBERS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SHAPES?
<Inez> YOU'RE RIGHT, MATT!
JACKIE!
WHAT ARE THE SHAPES?
<Jackie> OKAY, THE SHAPES GO SQUARE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, SQUARE.
WAIT A MINUTE!
MAYBE IT'S A DOUBLE PATTERN.
NUMBERS AND SHAPES!
AND IF IT'S A DOUBLE PATTERN...
..THE NEXT ONE SHOULD BE A... <Poddling> ...CIRCLE 3?

DO THEY HAVE ONE?
OF COURSE THEY DON'T HAVE ONE!
I WAS DISGUISED AS A TRIANGLE 1 - THAT'S WHY THEY KIDNAPPED ME!
OH MAN... WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
IF WE GO OUT TO FIND A TRIANGLE 1, WE MAY GET CAUGHT.
<Poddling> NO!
WE CAN'T GET CAUGHT!
<Jackie> WAIT A MINUTE...YOU'RE A TRIANGLE!
