The Earth appears, and then a city by a lake, where many planes fly around an airport.

A song plays and it says ONCE UPON A FUTURE TIME
IN A PLACE CALLED
STARDUST BAY
COUNTIN' DOWN TO
ADVENTURE NOW
ROCKETS ON A MISSION
WE'RE ON OUR WAY!

Three happy space racers take off and fly into space.

The song continues SPACE RACERS
SURFIN' THE SOLAR WIND
SPACE RACERS
TOGETHER THE FUN
BEGINS

The space racers explore the Solar System.

The song continues WAY UP WHERE THE
PLANETS, MOONS
AND STARS ALL SHIMMER
AND SHINE, SHINE
HAVING A GREAT TIME
EXPLORING
SPACE RACERS

The title of the show appears in space: Space Racers.

Starling shows up and says HEY, WAIT FOR ME!

Today’s episode is "Some body for Ava."


(music plays)

The cadets play an Orbo match.

Ava says WHAT A GAME.
THIS ORBO MATCH IS REALLY
COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE.
JUST 10.7 SECONDS LEFT.
ROBYN TRIES FOR THE CATCH,
BUT RAVEN INTERCEPTS IT.
RAVEN GOES FOR THE GOAL.
BUT HAWK BLOCKS IT
JUST IN TIME.
HAWK PASSES TO EAGLE AND...

Eagle says SPIN, SLING, SASSY!

Ava says HE SHOOTS AND HE SCORES.
EAGLE'S TEAM WINS.

Eagle says HA-HA!
DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?
I WAS LIKE YAH!
AND THEN I WAS LIKE WHOA!
AND THEN I WAS LIKE...
[LAUGHING]

Robyn says WAY TO GO, EAGLE.

Hawk says YEAH! GOOD ONE, BUDDY!

Coach Pigeon says NICE WORK, TEAM.
YOU JUST QUALIFIED
FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

They say YEAH!
ALL RIGHT!

Ava says CONGRATULATIONS, RACERS.
ROBYN, GREAT
BACKFIELD DEFENSE.

Robyn says THANKS, AVA.

Ava says EAGLE, IMPRESSIVE SPEED
IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

Eagle says YOU KNOW IT.

Ava says AND, HAWK,
WHAT A GREAT BLOCK.
BEFORE THAT, YOUR TEAM ONLY HAD
A 3.7 percent CHANCE OF VICTORY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN
A BLOCK LIKE THAT
SINCE THE 81ST ORBO
GALACTIC QUARTERFINALS.

Hawk laughs and says WOW, AVA, YOU SURE KNOW A LOT
ABOUT ORBO.

Ava says OF ALL THE 3,943
MOST COMMON RECREATIONAL GAMES
IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM,
ORBO IS MY FAVOURITE.
IN FACT, I, UH...
NEVER MIND.

Robyn says WHAT IS IT, AVA?

Ava says WELL, I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED
OF PLAYING ORBO MYSELF.
BUT OF COURSE, I AM
JUST A COMPUTER PROGRAM.
PLAYING ORBO WOULD REQUIRE ME
TO HAVE AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL BODY.
[SIGHS]

Hawk says HEY, ARE YOU GUYS THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?

Eagle says YEAH, WE SHOULD GO GET BANANA
FUEL SPLITS TO CELEBRATE.

Hawk says NO, NO!
WELL, YES, WE SHOULD GET
BANANA FUEL SPLITS.
BUT FIRST,
WE SHOULD FIND A WAY
FOR AVA TO PLAY ORBO WITH US
IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

Robyn says YEAH!
BUT IN ORDER TO PLAY,
SHE'LL NEED AN ACTUAL BODY.
AND I THINK I KNOW
WHO CAN HELP US WITH THAT.

At his workshop, Coot says HMM, A ROBOT BODY FOR AVA?
[LAUGHING]
NOW, THERE'S A CRAZY IDEA.

Hawk says TOO CRAZY?

Coot says WELL, NO IDEA'S
EVER TOO CRAZY.
IN FACT, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE
JUST THE THING.
NOW, LET'S SEE HERE.
NO, THAT'S...
[LAUGHS]
WHERE DID THAT...
AH, HERE WE ARE!
A BODY FOR AVA!
[GASPS]

Hawk says A ROBOT?

Eagle says BUT HOW DO WE GET AVA
IN THERE?

Coot says EASY.
THIS HARD DRIVE
HAS ALL THE INFORMATION
FOR THE AVA
COMPUTER PROGRAM.
HER MEMORY, HER PERSONALITY,
EVERYTHING.
IT'S WHAT MAKES AVA,
WELL... AVA!

Hawk says YOU MEAN IT'S LIKE
HER BRAIN?

Coot says YUP.
AND IF WE TAKE IT OUT
OF THE STARDUST BAY NETWORK
AND PUT IT INTO THE ROBOT...

Robyn says THEN AVA WILL BE
INSIDE THE ROBOT,
AND SHE'LL HAVE
A BODY!
AND SHE'LL BE ABLE
TO PLAY ORBO WITH US.

Coot says BINGO!
NOW STAND BACK, EVERYONE!
JUST CONNECT THIS HERE,
PLUG THAT IN THERE AND...
WHOA... [CHUCKLES] NOT SURE
HOW THAT GOT IN THERE.
THERE!
HAWK, CAN YOU PULL
THAT SWITCH?

Hawk pulls down a switch.

[MACHINERY POWERING UP]

The robot comes alive.

Coot laughs and says IT WORKED!
SHE'S ALIVE!
SHE'S ALIVE!
[LAUGHING]

Ava says COOT...
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I FEEL... DIFFERENT.

Robyn says AVA, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT.
COOT BUILT YOU
A ROBOT BODY.

Ava says A BODY?
YOU MEAN I HAVE A BODY?

Hawk says SURE DO.
[LAUGHS]

A laughs and says I HAVE A BODY.
[LAUGHING]

She spins and hits something.

She says WHOOPSIE. SORRY.
I'M NOT USED TO HAVING,
UH, THRUSTERS.

Hawk chuckles and says DON'T WORRY, AVA,
YOU'LL GET THE HANG OF IT.

Eagle says COME ON, AVA, LET'S SEE
WHAT THOSE THRUSTERS CAN DO.
FOLLOW US.

Ava says WHOA...
[CHUCKLING]
WAIT FOR ME.
[BIRDS SCREECHING]

They go outside and Eva says WOW. AHH!
THE GENTLE BREEZE.
THE WARM SUN ON MY BOOSTERS
AND THRUSTERS.
LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER FELT
BEFORE.

Eagle says WELL, GET READY, AVA, 'CAUSE
YOU AIN'T FELT NOTHING YET.
PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF.

Ava says OOH, MY FIRST LAUNCH!

Eagle says BOOSTER ROCKETS.

Hawk says ENGAGED!

Robyn says ENGAGED!

Eagle says WINGS.

The cadets say BACK!

Eagle says SPACE VISORS?

Robyn says DOWN!

Hawk says DOWN!

Eagle says READY?

Ava says BLAST OFF!
[LAUGHING]

They dodge meteorites and say
WHOA!
HOO-HOO!
OH, YEAH!

Ava spins and says WHOA!
[CHUCKLES]
ALL RIGHT!
WHOA.
WHOA, WHOA...

Hawk says YEAH!
[AVA LAUGHING]

They go around planets and say HOO-HOO! WHOO-HOO!
YEAH!
[SIGHS CONTENTEDLY]
[LAUGHING]
WHOO-HOO-HOO!
WHOO-HOO!

Hawk says WELL, AVA, WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF YOUR FIRST SPACE FLIGHT?

Ava says IT WAS EXTREMELY
FASCINATING.
BRR!
THE TEMPERATURE IN SPACE FEELS
MUCH COLDER THAN I EXPECTED.
ALERT, FAST-MOVING OBJECTS
APPROACHING AT 36 DEGREES.
TIME 'TIL IMPACT,
SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE...

The meteorite comes towards Ava.

Eagle says HUH? WHY IS SHE JUST
STANDING THERE?

H pushes her to the side and says AVA! LOOK OUT!
WHOO, THAT WAS CLOSE.

Ava says DID I DO SOMETHING
WRONG, HAWK?

Hawk says NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT A BODY,
YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL.

Eagle says HAWK'S RIGHT, EVA.
WHEN SOMETHING'S
COMING AT YOU,
YOU CAN'T JUST SIT THERE
AND THINK ABOUT IT,
OR YOU'LL GET BLASTED
INTO SPACE DUST.

Ava says UNDERSTOOD.
IT-- IT SEEMS
THAT HAVING A BODY
IS MORE COMPLICATED
THAN I PREVIOUSLY IMAGINED.

Robyn says DON'T WORRY, AVA.
I'M SURE YOU'LL GET
THE HANG OF IT BY TOMORROW.

Ava says WHAT IS SCHEDULED
FOR TOMORROW?
ROUTINE SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE?
A PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE?
FRIED FUEL STICKS
IN THE CAFETERIA?

Hawk says NOPE, EVEN BETTER.
TOMORROW YOU'LL BE PLAYING
IN THE ORBO CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!

Ava says ME? PLAY ORBO?

At the game, Crane says GREETINGS, RACERS.
WELCOME TO THE STARDUST BAY
ORBO CHAMPIONSHIPS!
[CHEERING]

Hawk says TRUST ME, COACH, AVA KNOWS
MORE ABOUT ORBO THAN ANYBODY.

Robyn says SHE'LL BE A GREAT ADDITION
TO THE TEAM.

Coach Pigeon says WELL, WE'RE GONNA NEED
ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET
TO WIN THIS GAME,
SO GO GET 'EM, AVA.

Ava says THANK YOU, COACH PIGEON.
WHAT IS OUR STRATEGY?
A CLASSIC SYNCHRONOUS
SPLIT DEFENSE?
OR SHOULD WE MAINTAIN A PARALLEL
OFFENSIVE FORMATION?

Coach Pigeon says AH, WELL, UH...
I GUESS I WOULD SAY OUR STRATEGY
IS, UH... TO WIN.

Eagle says YEAH!

Hawk says ALL RIGHT!

Robyn says LET'S DO IT!

Crane says RACERS, TAKE THE FIELD.

Hawk says GOOD LUCK, AVA.
YOU'RE GONNA DO GREAT.

Ava says THANK YOU, HAWK.

Crane says LET THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
BEGIN.
[WHISTLES BLOWS,
CROWD CHEERING]

Ava says MY FIRST ORBO GAME.
I HOPE I MANAGE TO SCORE
A GOAL OR AT LEAST CONTRIBUTE
TO MY TEAM'S OVERALL
DEFENSIVE OPERATION AND...

Robyn says AVA, CATCH!

Ava says ORB INCOMING AT 37 DEGREES
AT A SPEED OF
30 METERS PER SECOND.
SLIGHT UPWARD ARC, SLIGHT
SOLAR WIND COMING IN AT—

The orb hits Ava in the head.

She says WHAT?
[GROANING AND LAUGHTER]

Eagle says SHAKE IT OFF, AVA.
JUST THINK LESS AND KEEP
YOUR EYES ON THE ORB.

Ava says RIGHT-- THINK LESS,
EYES ON THE ORB.

Robyn says EAGLE, MY POSITION
IS OPEN.

Ava says EYES ON THE ORB.
EYES ON THE ORB.
HA, I CAUGHT IT!
I CAUGHT IT. I...

Eagle says AVA, WATCH WHERE
YOU'RE GOING!

Ava says HEY!

She hits a fuel snack machine and says OHH! AAH!

The crowd says AWW...

Ava says OOH-HOO... OHH.

A space racer says YOU, UH, WANT TO TAKE
THOSE FUEL SNACKS TO GO?

Ava catches the orb and says AN INTERCEPTION.

Hawk says WAY TO GO, AVA.
NOW GO FOR THE GOAL.
HURRY!

Ava says RIGHT. ACCELERATING
TO MAXIMUM VELOCITY.

Eagle says AVA, SLOW DOWN!
YOU'RE GONNA...

Ava starts bouncing around and says WHOA... OHH...
OHH...
DID I SCORE A GOAL?

Coach Pigeon says WELL, UH, TECHNICALLY
YOU DID, BUT, UH...
EH, FOR THE OTHER TEAM.
[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Coach Pigeon says HALFTIME.
EVERYBODY TAKE A BREAK.

Eagle says GUYS, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE
GONNA WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
WITH HER ON OUR TEAM.

Robyn says PROBABLY NOT,
BUT WHAT CAN WE DO?
I MEAN,
SHE'S TRYING SO HARD.

Eagle says I KNOW.
I WANT HER TO PLAY
AS MUCH AS ANYONE,
BUT SHE JUST THINKS
TOO MUCH.

Hawk says AW, COME ON, EAGLE.
SHE'S STARTING TO GET
THE HANG OF IT.

Ava knocks down some signs and says OOPS, I SEEM TO HAVE
MISCALCULATED.

Hawk says UH, OKAY,
I'LL TALK TO HER.
UH, HEY, AVA, UM,
LOOKING GOOD OUT THERE.

Ava says THANK YOU, HAWK,
BUT I AM AFRAID
THAT I HAVE BEEN
UNABLE TO MASTER
THIS NEW ROBOT BODY.
I-- I SIMPLY DO NOT FEEL
LIKE MYSELF.

Hawk says UH, BUT AVA...

Ava says I HAVE PROCESSED
THE DATA,
AND IT IS CLEAR
THAT OUR TEAM
HAS A GREATER CHANCE OF WINNING
IF I DO NOT PLAY.
I HAVE DECIDED TO SIT OUT
THE SECOND HALF OF THE GAME.

Hawk says REALLY?
UH, I MEAN, GOSH, AVA.

Ava says HOWEVER, I BELIEVE I CAN STILL
CONTRIBUTE TO OUR VICTORY
IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

Hawk says SURE.
WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?
[WHOOPING AND CHEERING]

Eagle says ALL RIGHT, TEAM,
WE'VE GOT IT ALL TIED UP.
JUST ONE MORE POINT
AND WE WIN THE GAME!

Robyn says BUT, EAGLE, WE ONLY HAVE
A FEW MORE SECONDS LEFT.

Hawk says DON'T WORRY, GUYS, WE'VE STILL
GOT OUR SECRET WEAPON.
OKAY, AVA, DO YOUR THING!

Ava says EAGLE, THROW THE ORB TO
ROBYN IN EXACTLY FOUR SECONDS.
FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.

Robyn catches the orb and the crowd says WHOO!

Ava says NOW, ROBYN, ACCELERATE
TO TWO-THIRDS
OF YOUR MAXIMUM VELOCITY.
NOW THROW THE ORB
AT AN 86-DEGREE ANGLE.
HAWK, CONTINUE ON
YOUR CURRENT TRAJECTORY.
NOW SPIN!

Hawk says SPINNING!

He hits the orb and the orb goes bouncing around till it enters the goal.

Eagle says GOAL!
HA-HA! WE WON!
WE WON!

Ava says CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU DID IT.

Robyn laughs and says NO, AVA, YOU DID IT.
WE NEVER WOULD HAVE COME UP
WITH THAT PLAY WITHOUT YOU.

Ava says IT WAS SIMPLY
THE MOST OPTIMAL STRATEGY.

Hawk says AVA, YOU JUST WON
THE ORBO CHAMPIONSHIPS.
WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO NEXT?

Hawk says WELL, THERE IS ONE THING
I'D LIKE TO DO.

Ava goes back to being an operating system.

Coot says AVA? ARE YOU THERE?

Ava pops up on the screen and says AH, I FEEL LIKE
MY OLD SELF AGAIN.
I DID NOT REALIZE HOW MUCH
I MISSED BEING AN INCORPOREAL,
SELF-AWARE OPERATING SYSTEM.

Hawk says IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
YOU BACK, AVA.

Ava says NOW, WE SHOULD DISCUSS
OUR STRATEGY
FOR THE NEXT ORBO SEASON.
I HAVE BEEN ANALYZING
OUR DEFENSIVE TACTICS,
AND I THINK THERE ARE
OPPORTUNITIES
FOR FURTHER OPTIMIZATION
IN THE FIELD
IF WE THROW THE BALL...

(music plays)

The end credits roll.
