Shinoy and the Chaos Crew When Shinoy downloads the Chaos Crew app on his phone, a glitch in the system gives him the power to summon his TV heroes into his world. With the team on board,, Shinoy can figure out what dastardly plans the red-eyed S.N.A.I.R., a Super Nasty Artificial Intelligent Robot, has come up with, and save the day.

1 Call to Action! “Is there anything on the telly?” asked Dad, stretching out on the sofa. Shinoy shrugged and rested his feet on Dad’s lap. Mum and Myra had gone away for the weekend, and they were home alone. “Do you want to do something?” asked Dad. “Or nothing?” Shinoy didn’t give it much thought. “Nothing.” “Shall we order a takeaway later?” “Good plan,” said Shinoy.

Just then Shinoy’s phone, which was on the coffee table, buzzed. He was tempted to ignore it, but it glowed … and then floated! “It’s never done that before,” said Shinoy. “Maybe it’s installing an update?” They both reached out and tilted the screen towards them. It said, “Call to Action, Shinoy!” Shooting each other a worried look, Shinoy and Dad fizzled away from the sofa.

They refizzled into Chaos Crew’s headquarters. Huge screens of data and maps filled the walls. The chairs and desks usually occupied by Crew members were empty. Shinoy couldn’t believe he was now wearing a Chaos Crew outfit! It seemed to give him power and energy. His dad was wearing one too, but he looked more awkward. “Is yours tight around the middle too?” Dad asked. 5

A hologram of the respected and no-nonsense Chaos Crew commander, D, appeared. Shinoy couldn’t believe he was in the presence of such a hero. “I apologise for kidnapping you at such short notice,” she said, “but I have no other options. I’ll be brief as we don’t have much time. Chaos Crew have been imprisoned. S.N.A.I.R.’s armies are at the walls of our capital city, Hope. Everyone here is in lockdown as he has found a way of tracking Treble One.” “Treble One!” said Shinoy, shocked. “Yes, or more accurately called Trinitanium, or T111. It’s the material created over three centuries ago that led to a technological revolution and enabled our civilisation to develop in ways that should have taken thousands of years.”

“Most of our tech contains Treble One. As a result, our atmosphere also contains its particles. It’s breathed in; it’s become part of our food. It’s become part of every living thing on Further Earth.”
Shinoy nodded, remembering this had been mentioned in series 6, episode 4.
“Now that S.N.A.I.R. can trace Treble One, he knows where everyone is at any time. This gives him a huge tactical advantage and has led to him capturing the Chaos Crew.” 8

“So why are we here?” asked Dad. D seemed surprised to see him but continued: “I’ve heard much about Shinoy and his adventures from my Crew. I need someone who’s capable and not tainted with Treble One. Who are you, anyway?” “I’m Shinoy’s dad.” D leaned forward. “You must be very proud.” Dad put his hand on Shinoy’s shoulder. “I am.”
