Red alert
In Aqua City, dentist Bobby Choo (secret identity: Supershark) had just finished a tricky filling on a fangtooth. Suddenly his laptop flashed red.
“That can only mean one thing,” thought Bobby, “a message from Action Squad HQ!”
As his satisfied patient swam out, four shapes appeared on the screen. Bobby recalled his training. “I need to match each shape with a number to open the message.” Using his photographic memory, he remembered the key from his notebook.
What is the 4-digit code number?
KEY
= 3 = 4 ...and so on.
= 5
Attention

ANIMAL ACTION SQUAD
Shark spotting
B obby swam home and popped on a fancy bow tie. By the time he arrived at the club, it was packed. Pausing only to grab some plankton nibbles (he’d missed dinner), he put his super vision to good use. Scanning every guest at lightning speed, he quickly spotted the suspect.
“Got him!” thought Bobby with a grin.
Can you find Nat Nash?
Table talk
“
No sign of Nat’s contact,” thought Bobby. “I hope I’m not too late.”
Seconds later, a squid swam up to Nat’s table and they began talking. Bobby was desperate to know what was being said. His super hearing was good, but the club was so noisy, all the conversations were jumbled together.
Can you work out what Nat and the squid are saying?
Who’s the singer?
Would you like a drink , Angel?
In here.
What do you want to eat, Spikey?
Billie Halibut.
Here it is, Selina. Where’s my money ?
A seaweed smoothie with ice, please.
The algae burger looks good.
Reef route
When Selina leaves, Bobby follows...
She’s got a high-speed sub scooter !
WHIZZ!
Time to use my turbo swimming super power.
Goodbye Bobby, hello...
Supershark zooms after Selina...
Better not get too close in case she spots me. Supershark!
Selina darted into a maze-like coral reef. “Sprats!” moaned Supershark. “I’ve lost sight of her. I’ll have to use my electro sense to detect the path of the scooter.”
Can you find a route through the reef?
The missing squid
Supershark finds the scooter abandoned...
Hmm. Where has Selina gone?
Ah, she left her satnav on...
