[edit] Story
One hundred years ago, Aliens sent a probe to Earth. The purpose of this probe was to monitor the pollution levels of the Earth.
One day the probe surfaces and detects a high pollution level and signals the aliens. A plump little alien, called Ollie, comes to investigate the town of Southbeach because of the probe. The town is also suffering from a mysterious illness found in the children. The local children befriend Ollie, who informs them that the pollution in Earth's atmosphere is causing things created by his species - like the probe - to malfunction. He also informs them that the malfunctioning probe is going to explode and blow the town up.
