[gasps] Bleurgh!

Ooof!

Don't worry, Hoist. It's just a bee.

Humans need to be careful around them,

because bees can sting, but we're safe.

This is fun. It's like giving the ground a hair cut!

[gasps]

Little less soil, Wedge. Good work everybody.

Why are we planting a garden again?

We're providing homes and food for creatures and insects,

like the bees who pollinate the flowers.

And it looks nice.

Yeah, but this job is way too small for Rescue Bot recruits.

We're supposed to be learning how to save humans,

not planting daisies!

Every living thing on earth is connected.

So in a way, planting daisies is saving humans.

-Huh? -Hmm?

I must be missing something.

Where are we going, Sir?

Rather than explain today's lesson,

I think it's better if I show you.

I wonder what simulation he's starting for us.

Whatever it is, I know it'll be exciting!

Yeah! An erupting volcano?

A massive earthquake?

Planet Velocitron? Or even...

...a farm?

There's a forest at the edge of the property.

And the forest is on fire.

Yeah! Now that's more like it!

Your task, however, is not to stop the fire.

What?

But to move farmer Tough Luck Chuck and his creatures

to the "safe zone".

You have four minutes to complete the task.

When you're done, hit the button to stop the clock.

And remember recruits. Everything is connected.

Okay, team, let's split up.

Hot sh*t, you get the chickens...

Consider 'em saved!

Medix and Hoist, check the milking shed. Whirl,

you find Chuck.

Looks like it's you and me, Daisy.

[moos]

This should be easy.

[squawking]

Or not. Hey, slow down!

I'm trying to help you! Ooof! [splutters]

There! That's what humans call a milking shed.

How exactly does one milk a shed?

I think it's for milking cows.

That makes so much more sense.

The anxious bovines appear to be locked inside.

Not for long!

[whirring]

Cows, if you would calmly follow me, we can...

Whoa! Take you to safety.

-[laughs] -[foot squelches]

Ew...

I believe that is called a cow patty.

But "ew" works too.

Hello! Chuck?

Where are you?

Hmm...

Worth a try.

I need a bird's eye view.

Here chicken, chickens. Here chicken, chi... Ugh.

Shoo, bees! Can't you see I'm busy?

[squawking]

Hmm...

[squawking]

-Oh, you like that, huh? -[squawk]

[grunting]

Ugh... wah!

Hmm...

[more grunting]

Well, if I can't push you, and I can't pull you,

I'm just gonna have to carry you.

[mooing]

Yeehaw!

[Medix] Impressive.

[Whirl gasps] That can't be good.

Uh... hey, Medix!

[grunts]

How is he?

For a robot that fell down a well,

he's doing surprisingly... well.

Let's get him to the safe zone.

[crows like a rooster]

Pretty good imitation, huh?

[flapping, squawking]

[engine revving]

[buzzer sounds]

We did it!

And with time to spare.

Easy peasy, energon-squeezey.

Hmm...

It was a walk in the farm! [splutters]

-[alarm sounds] -What's that?

The fail noise. We... didn't accomplish the mission.

-How is that possible? -What did we miss?

It's not a test if I give you the answer.

You need to pay closer attention to the little things.

Ready to try again?

And your time starts... now.

Upsy daisy.

Whoa!

Oh...

[chuckling] I thought by now you'd know not to do that!

-[foot squelches] -Ew.

You were saying?

-[buzzer sounds] -[all cheer]

[fail noise sounds]

Ugh, we've failed again!

What? No. How is that even possible?

Or logical?

There are no significant life forms left to save!

Do you think the simulator could be broken?

Hero hall. Show us what happened to the farm

after the fire went out.

[moos]

But... the farm's a disaster!

I don't understand. What did we do wrong on our rescue?

Were there creatures we didn't see? Hidden somewhere?

There was only what you saw.

Why don't you take a break and think about it.

I can't believe we failed such a simple mission.

What's not to believe? Did you not hear the fail noise?

Not helping, Medix.

Huh!

That looks like a good way to get out your frustration.

-Can I try? -Sure.

Whoa!

[grunts]

Ugh! You make it look so easy.

Don't think about catching the cube yet.

First, work on your jump.

You have to start with good form if you want a great outcome.

You mean I shouldn't look at the end for answers,

I should look at the beginning.

Well, that's what I just--

-Follow me everyone! -Follow you where?

Not where, when!

Hero Hall, show us the farm, please.

What are you doing?

This is how the disaster ended,

but if we want the answer, we need to see how it began.

I like your logic.

That's a great idea, Whirl!

-She got it from me! -[sighs]

Freeze! Look! The destruction started with the flowers.

But what happened to them?

This morning, the answer was on the tip of your nose.

It was?

The bees! We didn't save the bees!

Exactly. Remember what Boulder said.

Everything on Earth needs everything else.

So without bees, there's nothing to pollinate

the flowers, crops and trees.

And those things are food for bigger animals.

No wonder the animals left.

There was nothing for them to eat.

So,ready to try the mission again, recruits?

Does Hoist step in cow patties?

-Ugh! -I'll take that as a yes.

[all cheering]

[moos]

♪♪

Okay team, now we just have to save the bees!

How much time do we have left?

One minute!

Maybe we can tell them to get back in their hives

and carry them out?

Great, you speak honey bee?

Whirl, can you blow them back inside?

How's it... [coughs, splutters] ...going?

Great!

Unless you actually wanted the bees to go into the hives.

Let me give it a try.

This is impossible.

Logic dictates that if we can't herd the bees,

and we can't catch them,

there is only one solution,

and that is to lure them.

With what?

Hmm... got it!

Let's hope this works.

Hey, I smell good!

[Whirl] The bees think so too.

-We did it! -Woo-hoo!

-Victory dance! Ha, ha! -[squelches]

Aw, come on!

[moos]

Nice job. So...

What did you recruits learn from today's test?

That everything on Earth needs everything else.

Like we're all part of one team.

Right. Every creature is important!

And there are no small rescues.

Speaking of rescues, perhaps someone should assist Chuck?
