805-AMOT
Mitchell showed
the teens a video of scientists in protective
suits handling a top-secret fuel
cell, loading it into a device or case; this did not take place in
Mariner Bay, but related entries are listed
here due to the similarity to other independent laboratories in Mariner Bay which cooperated with Lightspeed.
The fuel
cell was extremely powerful, and sensitive to high temperature, so
they had to keep it away from high heat at all costs; at this point, the
video showed a scene of a nuclear blast laying waste to surrounding
land, alarming the teens.
Mitchell said
they'd meet Dr. Hanson at the airport to make sure the fuel cell got back to the Aquabase safe and sound, although he did not
mention its intended function.
As the teens left, Mitchell kept Dana, wanting her to pick up his old friend and give
him a ride to the Aquabase; what the teens didn't know was that this Earl character possessed the real fuel cell while the others
unwittingly ran a decoy operation.
The four teens soon
stood by the Rescue Rover at a landing
strip where a blue and white helicopter landed; two men in black then
furtively escorted the suited, balding Dr. Hanson away from the
helicopter.
Dr. Hanson had a silver case handcuffed to his
wrist.
As the teens greeted
him and took him to the Rover, Dr. Hanson
asked (perhaps skeptically) if they were with Lightspeed.
The teens then drove
through the city in the seemingly unsecure, open-topped Rover as Dr. Hanson looked around nervously;
red blasts suddenly caused them to swerve and get out to investigate, at
which point Fireor attacked with
Batlings, demanding the fuel cell.
Confronting Dr. Hanson, Fireor soon slashed the box off his
wrist but found the box empty, and the startled Rangers had the guilty-looking Dr. Hanson get
somewhere safe.
807-CybR
As the Cyborg
Rangers made their debut, nearby was a black Humvee bearing a red
and gold version of the Lightspeed sigil,
by which stood three people in suits and gray trenchcoats; among them
was the smug Dr. Harlen,
coordinator of the Cyborgs.
On the left breast of the trenchcoats was a red
sigil matching those on the military
uniforms of General McKnight and
his two accompanying officers.
Clipped to Harlen's coat was a green generic
Aquabase security card with a standard
gold-and-blue sigil, like the ones worn by
the officers accompanying McKnight.
823-FiCr
At night, Vypra was
dressed as a cat burglar along with two Batlings; they rappelled down to the window of a
highly secured lab featuring security cameras and infrared lasers.
Vypra cut a circle into
the glass, then, crawling along the ceiling, put a device on a security
camera to make it show an empty room.
Vypra then hung down and
used a device with a keypad to crack a security code on a containment
device for the yellow Starlight Crystal, which
was kept in blue light on cottony white material.
826-ATRO
At 11:42, eighteen minutes before pods on the teens' arms were to release toxic spores, Mitchell told them of a lab on the east
side with a poison that should destroy the pods, and they to meet people
from the lab at a location halfway between them.
At roughly 11:56 in an empty parking lot, the teens in the Rescue
Rover met a white van looking like a repaint of Professor Phenomenus's van, with a red siren
light on top and a red/white/blue stripe down the side, with label "East
Side Lab" on the side.
Three scientists in labcoats got out and
presented a case containing a syringe (sans needle) and four vials full
of green liquid.
Kelsey asked if they
were sure it would work, and the bald scientist holding the case snidely
told them it would absolutely work.
An orange energy bolt blasted the case,
destroying the contents as it was dropped, and Vilevine vanished after telling
them the pods would release the spores in four minutes.
The teens stood in
despair until Carter was suddenly inspired to
call for the Solarzord, realizing the
spores couldn't hurt anyone in outer space.

Earl

- old friend to Captain Mitchell; brought fuel cell to Lightspeed Aquabase (805-AMOT)
805-AMOT
Mitchell showed
the teens a video of scientists in protective
suits handling a top-secret fuel
cell, loading it into a device or case.
The fuel
cell was extremely powerful, and sensitive to high temperature, so
they had to keep it away from high heat at all costs; at this point, the
video showed a scene of a nuclear blast laying waste to surrounding
land, alarming the teens.
Mitchell said
they'd meet Dr. Hanson at the airport
to make sure the fuel cell got
back to the Aquabase safe and sound.
Mitchell meanwhile assigned Dana to pick up his old friend and give him a ride to the Aquabase, giving her his address, as he had bad eyesight.
In a run-down alley, Dana
knocked on the metal screen door of the address she'd been given for Mitchell's old friend, and Earl anxiously
looked out the door.
Earl was a man perhaps in his late sixties who
spoke with a Southern accent and wore fishing clothes, although the
accent was merely an act.
As Dana said her name, Earl was suddenly friendly and hugged her, realizing she was Bill Mitchell's daughter; he then retrieved his fishing nets and a tackle box from inside, to Dana's annoyance.
Earl told Dana he'd let her drive "old blue," his old blue pickup truck.
As Dana drove, she received an emergency call from Carter, at which point she swerved the truck to join the others, but Mitchell ordered her to return to base; she then angrily swerved the truck back around in the original direction.
Soon, Earl nervously asked how much farther, clutching the tackle box.
The city then began to heat up; as Dana fanned herself, Earl said it was getting too hot; at this point, it could be heard that his Southern accent was a ruse.
Fireballs suddenly rained down from the sky, making Dana crash, and Earl spilled his box and ice inside; after scrambling to pick up the box, Earl piled ice from a nearby ice machine, at which point Dana coyly realized he'd had the fuel cell the entire time.
The fuel cell revealed inside his ice-filled tackle box, Earl explained he and Mitchell had hoped nothing would happen, but that if anything did, her presence with him would ensure he'd get to the Aquabase safely no matter what.
Vypra's blasts struck around Earl and Dana, knocking the tackle box to the ground; his arm hurt, Earl crawled for the box, then wrapped the cell and some ice in his jacket, which had been removed.
After retreating from Vypra with Earl, Dana put Earl's arm in a sling as they hid behind a crate, but he reassured her with a grimace he'd be fine.
Admiring Dana, Earl remarked that she looked just like her mother; Dana was startled that Earl knew her mother, and he added she would be so proud of Dana if she could see her now.
Dana rushed Earl to a
waterfront dock, where they were confronted again by Vypra.
Backing up to the edge of the dock, Dana told Earl to trust her; she then used a pipe to deflect Vypra's blast, and the two disappeared into the water below, where they would soon be picked up somehow by an Aquabase submarine.
In Rescue Ops, Earl attributed their arrival to Dana; Mitchell then allowed her to join the others in battle.

Dr. Harlen
-
- scientist responsible for creating and controlling Cyborg Rangers (807-CybR)
807-CybR
As Strikning prepared to finish off
the Lightspeed Rangers after stunning them
with a lightning bolt, the monster was blasted by the approaching Cyborg Rangers' version of the Rescue Blasters, and the human Rangers awoke startled.
Nearby was a black Humvee bearing a red and gold
version of the Lightspeed sigil, by which
stood three people in suits and gray trenchcoats; among them was the
smug, balding Dr. Harlen, who held strapped around his neck by his
stomach a bulky remote device with a black joystick.
On the left breast of the trenchcoats was a red
sigil, although clipped to Harlen's coat
was a green generic Aquabase security card with a standard
gold-and-blue sigil, like the ones worn by
the officers accompanying McKnight.
Harlen smugly greeted the Rangers, telling them the title of the Cyborg Rangers which made the Rangers realize they were robots.
Harlen was wearing a gold wedding band.
Harlen flipped switches on his remote, making the
Cyborgs stiffen, then told the Cyborgs to "return to base," causing them
to pile uncomfortably into the cramped rear of the black Humvee as Harlen moved the joystick
slightly.
Carter asked what was
going on, but Harlen smugly said they had to go, knowing something they
didn't, and he waved with mocking cheeriness at the Rangers as they drove off.
The Cyborgs soon
entered the Aquabase's Transport Bay followed by Dr. Harlen as
General McKnight relieved the teens of their duties.
In the lab later, Miss Fairweather tended to the standing
Cyborgs as they recharged; Dr. Harlen
was not present.
As Strikning later attacked another
building downtown, the Cyborg Rangers
appeared on the scene in mid-jump kick from green gridlines, and the
black Humvee drove up, Harlen and associates briefly guiding fleeing
people away.
As Strikning charged for Dr. Harlen,
he called out for the Cyborgs to stop
the attacker.
Working a tiny joystick, Harlen ordered the Cyborg Rangers to attack; beside him, a
trenchcoat associate was taking notes on a clipboard.
As the Cyborgs
utterly pounded Strikning,
Harlen triumphantly called for them to use their Cyborg Rescue Blasters, but the monster shot his
spikes into the ground at their feet, and lightning struck, causing a
huge explosion which dropped the Cyborgs, and Strikning vanished laughing.
As Dr. Harlen crouched by the Cyborgs worriedly, seemingly unsure what to
do, they suddenly got up despite sparking burnt patches, and Harlen said
in astonishment that they were all right.
As Harlen reached for a sparking hole on Red's
arm, the five Cyborgs turned and lurched
toward him, making him recoil in horror.
As the three men retreated toward the Humvee,
Harlen repeatedly ordered them to stop and return to base, but they kept
approaching.
Captain
Mitchell radioed for Dr. Harlen to activate self-destruct, which he
eagerly tried on the remote, but it wouldn't work, and the three
scientists fled in terror.
The scientists rounded a corner, but the "male"
Cyborgs broke through the wall, and the
three fleeing men were blasted out of a building with an explosion by
the "females," then surrounded by the others.
Carter suddenly leapt in
and pulled Dr. Harlen aside, the teens helping
the scientists.
After being kicked by Carter, Red spoke, "Human Rangers are no match for Cyborg Rangers. You will all be
terminated."
Agreeing that they were no match for the Cyborgs, Harlen told Carter nothing could stop them, but Captain Mitchell screeched up in the Rescue Rover and threw the teens their Morphers.
Upon destroying both the malfunctioning Cyborg Rangers and giant Strikning, the teens giggled and conversed in Ops as Mitchell and Miss Fairweather stood somberly, Dr.
Harlen quite embarrassed in front of McKnight's two infantrymen, and they
all stood at attention as McKnight
entered before telling them, "At ease."
After McKnight had apologized and told Mitchell he wouldn't interfere again,
they walked off, and an infantryman behind Dr. Harlen patted him to
walk, and Harlen trudged off; during this entire scene, Harlen's hands were clasped together in front of him (perhaps handcuffed, although little justification would exist for such an action, given McKnight's personal remorse over the incident).

Clark Fairweather
-
- brother of Miss Fairweather; designer of Ranger technology, assisted Lightspeed (828-MMBa)
828-MMBa
As Mitchell
discussed needing something more against Infinitor, he asked Miss Fairweather about Clark's new
technology, and she excitedly realized he'd have some great ideas.
Miss
Fairweather called Clark a brilliant scientist, telling the teens he'd written the book (said figuratively)
on energy transformation.
Mitchell asked
if Clark would help them, and she remarked for her, he'd do anything,
and she giddily said she'd call him right away.
In an Aquabase
hallway, Clark, a broad-shouldered man with brown hair down to his
shoulders, wearing glasses and a generic green ID card, and carrying a gold box of
flowers, asked Joel where Miss Fairweather's lab was, thanking him
with a smirk as Joel directed him.
Twirling his sister around in a hug, Clark told
Angela her smile was still like a ray
of sunshine, coincidentally using the line Joel
had been practicing in the hall.
Angela happily
pressed her cheek to Clark's when he gave her a bunch of flowers in a
long box.
Inviting Joel in to meet
Clark, Miss Fairweather said with him
on their team, Infinitor didn't
stand a chance.
Clark hoped he could be of some help, and he took
Joel's hand and shook it as Joel stood unamused.
Miss
Fairweather remarked of Clark, "He can build a Megazord blindfolded," giddily saying it would be
so great to work together, and he agreed with a smile.
Miss
Fairweather led Clark away, arm in arm, saying she just loved a guy
with a complex mind.
With Clark in a labcoat too, he and Miss Fairweather watched as the green Mega Battle buzzsaw blade cut through a thick
piece of metal; the blade was even stronger than they'd thought, and Angela amazedly laughed he was a genius.
As Joel entered wearing a
labcoat and glasses, Clark and Angela
approached grinning, and Joel explained he'd
thought his scientific expertise might come in handy.
Miss
Fairweather began to turn down his offer, but Clark took him aside
telling him they were about done, but there was only one more test.
In the booth, Clark asked him to help with some
very complex wiring, which he said should be no problem for someone with
his skills, and he grinned as he shut the door behind Joel.
At a complex wire setup, thin red wires were
hooked up to a panel in the control booth, some going up into the nearby
blue Mega Battle torso armor.
Clark suggested he and Angela go out to celebrate later, and she
agreed after a brief pause.
As Joel wielded pliers,
Clark knocked on the glass and told him just to hook the wires up into
standard configuration, grinning and giving an O.K. sign to Joel as he began.
When Joel guessed he was
done, Clark had him try it, and Angela
panicked to stop him, but Joel mashed the red
test button, making sparks fly, and the Aquabase momentarily blacked out.
Overlooking the lake, Clark and Angela sat in his black convertible
compact car with the top down and toasted to the Mega Battles, which she said she couldn't
have finished without him.
Miss
Fairweather thought to get something out of the back seat, and she
shared what looked like cake with him.
As Miss
Fairweather was gigglingly wiping off Clark's mouth with a napkin, a
sprinkler began spraying the car, and Angela squealed between giggles; Clark
raised the convertible top, and she remarked he was brilliant.
As Angela
confronted the mischievous Chad and Joel nearby, a volley of missiles struck the car,
making an explosion which left Clark unconscious in the burning car.
As Joel pulled the
semi-conscious Clark from the car, it exploded behind them, knocking
them forward.
Recovering, Joel tried to
stir Clark, but he stood back as Miss
Fairweather sobbingly tried to wake him, hugging him tearfully as he
groaned her name.
Angela and the
weak Clark watched proudly as Joel and Chad summoned the Mega
Battles.
At a table in the galley later, Clark was
whispering something in Angela's ear;
the teens came in, and he greeted them.
Clark had a hurt spot on his head from the
explosion earlier.
Clark politely asked Joel
to have a seat, but Joel just wanted to thank
him, as the Mega Battles had really saved
them out there.
Clark instead thanked him, but added it had all
been worth it to spend some time with Angela.
Clark headed out with a lingering touch on Angela's shoulder which she returned, and
he left with a briefcase, waving.
As Miss
Fairweather admiringly watched Clark leaving, Joel asked, "You really love him, don't you?" and
she smiled after Clark and replied she couldn't live without him.
With increasing disbelief after Joel had thought Clark was her boyfriend, Miss Fairweather said, "You didn't think
that he and I were--" and Joel stammered about
only joking, saying anybody could see that was her brother (although at
least Chad had thought the same as Joel).
