## Plot

The Discovery Corps is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to exploration, research and defence of the Sub-Atomic Realm, an parallel, microscopic dimension. Billionaire Anton Baxter is appointed mission commander of Isis III, the third manned mission to the sub-atomic kingdom of Instinctia, which goes awry when the evil Xenu is unleashed upon Earth, but not before seemingly killing Baxter and taking his body as a vessel. The Discovery Corps's Commander Solomon Burnham enlists Baxter's subordinates - Laura Jacobs, Daniel Elahi, Jimmy Sophocles, and Erin Tucker - and reluctantly his own son Michael as the Discovery Rangers to protect Earth from Xenu and his army of sub-atomic mutants, and later Scermazu, an intergalactic bounty hunter. They are later joined in battle by disabled hacker and Discovery tech expert Lester Crest - who previously served as the Isis III's mission director - as the Continental Ranger, as well as Commander Burnham, who becomes the Avalon Ranger.

## Characters

#### ***Michael Burnham***

* 1
* 2
* 3

The half-Human, half-Chimerian hybrid son of Discovery commander Solomon Burnham, Michael is a zoologist working in Discovery's species management unit. When he crosses paths with the Isis III crew and tells them that he knows lots about Instinctian culture, he offers to help them further - against his father's orders - and becomes the Red Ranger of the team. Michael shows great determination in guiding the Rangers, and is often shown to question authority, which puts him at odds with Daniel. As the series progresses, Michael gains access to an alternate, stronger "Gorilla Form" which he is later forced to discard it after learning that it fed on Zyncado, and became the second Whale Warrior after losing his Omnimorpher in a duel with Xenu, before regaining his default Eagle form when Lester found a spare morpher.

* **Roll Call:**
	+ "*To Discover the Skies! Discovery Red!*" (Eagle Form)
	+ "*To Discover the Jungle! Discovery Red!*" (Gorilla Form)
	+ "*One Soul to Rule All - Whale Warrior, Defender of Ideals!*" (Whale Warrior)
* **Arsenal:** Omnimorpher, Primal Defender, Sky Saber, Whale Command Cannon
* **Omnizords:** Eagle, Gorilla, Whale Titanzord

#### ***Laura Jacobs***

A high-ranking Discovery Corps operative, Laura is the daughter and heir to the owner of a large automotive company, and dreams to become a top race car driver. She is chosen as the pilot of the Isis III mission, and as Xenu was unleashed, her DNA was fused with that of Master Michelle Fieng's, and she becomes the Blue Ranger. Laura acts as the team's big sister, and is very compassionate and caring, usually being the one who steps in to defuse tension among the others. She is the closest of the Rangers to Michael.

#### ***Daniel Elahi***

A senior operative at Discovery Corps with many years of experience, Daniel previously served in Iraq, before becoming one of Discovery's most reliable operatives. He is appointed first lieutenant to Anton Baxter of the Isis III mission, and as Xenu was unleashed, his DNA was fused with that of Master Lion's, and he becomes the Yellow Ranger. Daniel is smart, structured and no-nonsense, and is extremely loyal to Commander Burnham. As a slightly serious ranger with a military background, he is often at odds with Michael's more reckless nature.

#### ***Jimmy Sophocles***

The youngest member of the team, Jimmy was previously a slacker, unable to be educated as a result of her mother losing money to loan sharks. He is recruited to join the Isis III mission to serve as its systems operator, having previously impressed Lester by building a robotic bird, Digit. As Xenu was unleashed, his DNA was fused with that of Master Master Donald Trunk's, and he becomes the Green Ranger. A rookie member of the Discovery Ranger team, Jimmy is optimistic, energetic, and easy-going, and somewhat cowardly, and has a heated rivalry with Michael. He is best friends and has a relationship with Erin.

#### ***Erin Tucker***

A college student and daughter of a scientist working at Discovery who was killed in an accident involving a quantum portal, Erin was recruited to join the Isis III mission's science officer. As Xenu was unleashed, her DNA was fused with that of Master Beria's, and she becomes the White Ranger. A rookie member of the Discovery Ranger team, Erin is very quiet and timid; she is the loner of the group and does not socialize very much. Despite this, she always abides by the commander's orders and doesn't hesitate to help her teammates when they are in danger. She is best friends with Jimmy.

#### ***Lester Crest***

* 1
* 2
* 3

Lester previously served as Isis III's mission director. A senior employee at Discovery Corps with near-genius intellect - especially in technology, computing and quantum physics, Lester suffers from a wasting disease that left him wheelchair-bound, though he was able to walk for short distances with a walking stick. Initially, Lester serves as a technical advisor to the rangers, but after the Rangers retrive an ancient weapon known as the Continental Tricon, Lester take it upon himself to activate the Tricon, purifying his disability and gaining the Instinctian Power of a Rhino, Wolf and a Crocodile, to become the Continental Ranger.

* **Roll Call:** "*To Discover the Planet! Continental Ranger!*"
* **Arsenal:** Continental Tricon, Continental Control Rod
* **Omnizords:** Rhino Wheeler, Crocodile, Wolf

#### ***Commander Solomon Burnham***

Solomon Burnham is the commander-in-chief of Discovery Corps and Michael's father, who serves as the Rangers' mentor, who is from the fallen planet of Chimmeria, which was decimated by Xenu years ago. Solomon is first shown to lead his team verbally rather than on the battlefield, and is shown to have a grumpy side when the rangers are not taking their job seriously however, he is also shown to care very much for his ranger team by giving them time off once in a while. In the second series, Solomon is given the Avalon Morpher as a present from Master Bird, and after some hesitation, he becomes the Avalon Ranger; however, this power is later revealed to be limited towards the end of the series.
