Officer Orso's Operation

**Officer Orso's Operation** is the third episode of the Nicktoons Unite Adventures Shorts.

## Plot

After the adventure in Zootopia, Officer Orso recounts the events of what happened before she went savage.

## Script

Fabienne Growley: Yes, Dawn Bellwether is finally behind bars today, guilty of masterminding the savage attacks that have plagued Zootopia of late. [They show Bellwether in an orange jumpsuit, in handcuffs, filled with contempt, as she is escorted through the crowd as photographers take pictures.]

Peter Moosebridge: Her predecessor, Leodore Lionheart, denies any knowledge of her plot, claiming he was just trying to protect the city. [Lionheart is seen in prison being interviewed by a porcupine]

Lionheart: Did I falsely imprison those animals? Well, yes. Yes, I did. It was a classic "doing the wrong thing for the right reason" kind of a deal.

Fabienne: In related news, doctors say the Night howler antidote is proving effective in rehabilitating the afflicted predators.

(In a hospital, Claudia was seen waking up in her hospital bed)

Claudia: Ohh... my head... what happened last night? Why do I feel like I just got my sentience back?

???: I'm afraid that's because you just did.

Claudia: Huh? (she turns to see Fabienne with the ZNN crew)

Fabienne: Fabienne Growley of the Zootopia News Network. Right now, you are in the hospital recovering after taking the antidote to the Night Howler formula that made you go savage.

Claudia: Oh... wow...

Fabienne: Tell us, what was the last thing you remember?

Claudia: Well, I guess it started when Judy had a lead on where Otterton was...

(Flashback to the Nicktoons Hero Gang were standing by the TUFF Mobile)

Jimmy: "Certainly less pride reducing than a meter maid car."

Dudley: Come on, we’ll take you for a spin!

Kitty: I’m driving. (they all pile in and they drive around town as Claudia watches them go)

Claudia: Well, better start helping the Jumbeaux's place. Gonna need some backup, though. (she dials her cell phone, and she gets a response) Hey, Axel? Gonna need your help here, bud.

(Axel): "Can it wait? I'm in the middle of wrestling a hammerhead with the ability of money-based magnetism! Lunkhead's a nightmare to deal with!"

Claudia: No problem. Hey, speaking of money, that's what I called you for. This amateur adventure team riding the heels of those Punch Time Exploder guys caused a bit of a mess at an ice cream parlor yesterday here in Zootopia, and I was hoping you'd help cover the damages.

Axel: (Sighs), It always has to be about the Punchers, or adjacent in this case. All right. I'll be over as soon as I finish up here.

(Claudia): After that, pretty soon, Axel and I paid for the damages to Jumbeaux's when I told him that the Nicktoons Hero Gang was working with Officer Hopps. I spent the rest of the day giving out traffic tickets. But that night when I was going to clock out, I got hit by something small. The ZPD officer ran by me to see what was wrong...

(Present day)

Claudia: And the next thing I knew, I'm here in the hospital. (Sighs), Do I even want to know what happened to me during that time?

Fabienne: Well, to make a long story short, you were made to go savage and attacked the ZPD, and then you were detained until the antidote was made. But when Bullman found out, Tricorn originally wanted him to suspend you from the UUPD, but she figured what you went through was punishment enough.

Claudia: Oh, man... I messed up, big time. Also, gees, THAT close I was to losing my freaking job for something I wasn't aware of?!

Fabienne: (to the camera) And there you have it. (Claudia was lost in thought of how close she was to lose her job)

Later...

(Cluadia meets up with Chief Bullman at the spaceport)

Claudia: "Chief, I can't thank you enough for preventing Tricorn from pink-slipping me. But why would she think to just do that when I wasn't even aware of it?"

Bullman: "Try not to take the senator's act too personally, Claudia. She was afraid of bad press for the Initiative and was acting accordingly. Heck, she even tried to pin the savagery problem on being Void's doing which was yet meant to once again make the High Council look like negligent idiots."

Claudia: "Tch, bet she feels stupid it turned out to be a bunch of supremacist sheep and dorky super villains from Petropolis."

Bullman: "Keep this between us, but yes. The Senator looked rather sheepish for lack of an ironic word. Granted she almost still tried to insist Void's hand in this anyway cause of how corruption works, but Quidilin ensured Tricorn was kept from making a fuss of things again."

Claudia: That's good. Now let's go back home to Volcano Island. I just want to relax from all this Night Howler mess.

Bullman: "Who wouldn't want that after what you went through?" (they left)
