The HQ
"BOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Kowalski flies across the room, hitting the wall with a thud and landing on the hard concrete. Skipper, Rico, and Private turnaround from their game of Texas Hold 'Em to find Kowalski frantically waddling back into his smoldering lab, which is at this point enveloped in a layer of green smoke.
Skipper: And right when I had the winning hand!
Skipper puts down his deck of cards and storms off into the green smoke.
Skipper: Kowalski! Come out here!
Skipper exits the lab with Kowalski trailing behind him.
Skipper: Kowalski, can you explain to us why you have interrupted our game of Texas Hold 'Em with that deafening blast?
Kowalski: ...Well, I was just working on my new Ultraviolet Food Dispenser...
Kowalski pulls out a completely smoldered mechanism, which after a couple seconds cracks and falls to the floor.
Kowalski: Or, in this case, was working on it...
Skipper: I think it would be better if you just took a break from all this science gibberish, maybe you can go out for a walk in the park!
Private: You have been working on that invention for quite some time now, Kowalski!
Rico: Uh-huh!
Kowalski: Alright, I'll take a break from the scientific breakthroughs, but only for one day!
Skipper: Fine.
Kowalski leaves the habitat and goes wondering off to the park, searching for rest.
The Park
Kowalski strolls about the almost completely empty park, watching the cirrus clouds swirl and meander in the chilly sky.
Kowalski: I guess I do need a break... most of my inventions have failed to reach completion or even function correctly.
Kowalski decides to sit under a large oak and watch the snowcone stand operate. Fred pops out of the oak from a large gap, carrying multiple acorns. About to leave his hole, Fred accidently drops 5 of the acorns upon the almost asleep penguin.
*Ker-plunk!*
Kowalski: Oww! What was that?
Fred: Oh, sorry fat pigeon!
Kowalski: I'm not a pigeon, as a matter of fact, I'm actually a penguin.
Fred: No... you look more like a pigeon. See? You have wings.
Kowalski: Uh.. flippers. And I'm a penguin.
Fred: But how did you switch your wings to flippers in two seconds?
Kowalski: I was born with flippers.
Fred: No, you're a pigeon. Pigeons have wings.
Kowalski: I'm not a pigeon!
Fred: Did you say pigeon or gibbon?
Kowalski: Pigeon, and I'm not-
Fred: I wonder if this place has gibbons... I've always wanted to see a gibbon.
Kowalski: *Face-flipper* You know what? Just never mind, I'm leaving now.
Fred watches Kowalski get up and begin to leave.
Fred: Wait, but are you a pigeon or a gibbon?
Kowalski turns around angrily.
Kowalski: I. Am. A. PENGUIN!!!!!!!!
Back at HQ
Skipper just made some fresh coffee, and Private and Rico are fighting over whether to watch the "Lunacorns" or "Destruction Galore" on TV. Kowalski barges in angry and probably not as calm as Skipper expected. Kowalski storms into his lab and shuts the door.
Skipper: ...
Private turns around.
Private: .....I guess your plan didn't work that well, Skipper.
Skipper: ....Meh, oh well. He'll get over it *Sips coffee*
