[02:11] Finn
    The majority of the animals on the island
[02:14] Finn
    are actually robots done up with
    Deco skins. Artificial animals, basically.
[02:19] Finn
    The Neo Animal Museum features a
     variety of these animals on display,
[02:23] Finn
    all created by the Professor.
[02:27] Hack
    Doggo, Doggo, doggy-doggy!
[02:30] Hank
    They're not like Doggo, who I made outta junk.
[02:35] Hank
    And frankly, I like mine better.
[02:39] Hack
    Mister Snuggly-wuggly!
[02:42] Hank
    Mister Watson's not artificial or a cat.
[02:45] Berry
    I've never been to the Neo Animal Museum.
[02:50] Finn
    "It's not a real museum.
    It's like a failed freak show."
[02:54] Finn
    That's definitely the reputation it has.
[02:57] Madam
    And does our new case have
    something to do with this institution?
[03:03] Finn
    Did the pigeon with the
    request come from the museum?
[03:09] Finn
    Seems so.
[03:12] Berry
    "Please save my nue."
[03:15] Berry
    What even is a nue?
[03:17] Smiley
    Nue nue.
[03:18] Berry
    "Nue nue"?
[03:19] Smiley
    You don't know about it? Here.
[03:25] Decopedia Sign
    Information About Nue:
[03:25] Decopedia Sign
    A type of bird whose cry is "nue nue."
[03:27] Berry
    It's so cuuute!
[03:29] Finn
    "A type of bird whose cry is 'nue, nue.'"
[03:31] Finn
    For Decopedia, that's a bit sparse on detail.
[03:35] Smiley
    "It's so cuuute!"
[03:37] Smiley
    That's what all the basics think, anyway.
[03:39] Berry
    Heck of a way of puttin' it...
[03:41] Hack
    Gimme!
[03:42] Madam
    So... are we accepting the case?
[03:45] Finn
    For now, we should find out the details.
    After all, someone's feeling motivated.
[03:51] Hack
    Wild animals?! But they're stinky!
[04:13] Hack
    Hup!
[04:25] Berry
    Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[04:28] Hack
    You're a shaky-quaky nerdy-birdy.

[05:14] Berry
    They're all so Love-y!
    Every single one of 'em!
[05:17] Berry
    And this one...
[05:22] Berry
    It's bugging out?

    I take it you're from the
     Yurei Detective Club, yes?
[05:38] Berry
    Oh, Professor...
[05:40] Professor
    Welcome to the Neo Animal Museum!
[05:43] Professor
    I've been waiting for you.
[05:45] Professor
    Every single animal you see on display
     here was built by me personally.
[05:59] Professor
    And among them, there are also
    species that have gone extinct.
[05:59] Hack
    Hey, nerdy-birdy!
[06:05] Berry
    Get down from there!
[06:07] Hack
    Sniff sniff.
[06:09] Hack
    Smells like Pup. Not stinky at all!
[06:13] Hack
    Whoa! Whoa there, easy!
[06:13] Professor
    You can interact with animals
    that are long gone from this world...
[06:20] Professor
    It's magnificent!
[06:26] Berry
    Are you okay?
[06:30] Professor
    As you can see, I've gone as far as recreating
    the wild temperament of these creatures.
[06:35] Berry
    Um, you're bleeding.
[06:37] Professor
    And yet, my beloved nue...
[06:45] Guest Lady
    What's this thing?
[06:46] Guest Guy
    It says it's a nue.
[06:47] Guest Lady
    No way. It looks totally different.
[06:50] Professor
    I can assure you it's not!
[06:51] Guest Lady
    Wh-What the...
[06:52] Professor
    What you are looking at
    is a really realistic nue!
[06:56] Guest Lady/Guy
    Scary!
[06:57] Professor
    This is my greatest creation, the nue.
[07:04] Berry
    Whoa, it's...
[07:06] Hack
    Looks stinky!
[07:09] Hack
    Sniff sniff. No stink at all.
[07:12] Berry
    It's totally different from
     what's on Decopedia.
[07:14] Professor
    That's because that information is
    incorrect. You're looking at a true nue.
[07:20] Berry
    Is Decopedia ever wrong, though?
    It's moderated by the Customer Center.
[07:26] Professor
    Someone must've overwritten the correct
    data after a case of Zero Phenomenon.
[07:31] Professor
    And now, my darling gets
     treated like an impostor.
[07:34] Professor
    Poor thing.
[07:40] Professor
    Inaccurate information is evil.
[07:42] Professor
    The way my beloved nue gets treated
    like a lie due to false information
[07:46] Professor
    is more than I can bear.
[07:53] Berry
    So when you say you
    want us to save your nue...
[07:56] Professor
    Could you please update Decopedia
    so it has the correct information on it?
[08:02] Professor
    I want you to save my beloved nue.
[08:06] Berry
    And that's what he said.
[08:08] Hank
    Rewrite a Decopedia entry, huh?
[08:11] Hank
    That's gonna mean getting past Customer
    Center security inside the Hyperverse...
[08:16] Hank
    Kind of a big deal.
[08:17] Smiley
    How much is he paying?
[08:18] Berry
    100,000 Love.
[08:20] Smiley
    Sounds tasty!
[08:21] Finn
    Not bad at all.
[08:23] Hank
    Who's going in?
[08:24] Hack/Finn
    Me!
[08:24] Hack/Finn
    Me!
[08:25] Berry
    I'm going!
[08:25] Hack
    No way!
[08:26] Berry
    I wanna go in!
[08:27] Hank
    You can both go, y'know.
[08:30] Berry
    Fine.
[08:31] Hack
    Nerdy-birdy's gonna trip up.
[08:33] Berry
    Well, you'd better not slow me down!
[08:37] Finn
    Something troubling you, Madam?
[08:38] Madam
    Just a little.
[08:39] Madam
    Smiley, I need you to
    take care of something.
[08:44] Smiley
    Kinda busy right now.
[08:46] Madam
    There's Love in it for you.
[08:49] Smiley
    I'm on the case!
[08:52] Finn
    All right. Activating Hyperverse.
[08:57] Berry
    Let's-a...
[08:58] Hack
    Go!
[09:02] Berry
    This is Decopedia's index?
[09:19] Finn
    Steady...
[09:21] Finn
    The information on Nue will be in there
    somewhere. Step one is to find it.
[09:26] Berry
    "Find it"? Are you saying we have
     to look through every entry?
[09:30] Berry
    Can't we run a search or something?
[09:32] Finn
    Sure you can. If you don't mind the Customer
    Center catching on and swarming all over us.
[09:45] Finn
    This section should include
    all the listings on animals.
[09:49] Berry
    Seriously?
[09:59] Berry
    Hey, bombardier beetles.
    Hank mentioned 'em before.
[10:03] Berry
    Wow, it stinks, huh?
[10:04] Berry
    Wait, I need to stay focused!
[10:07] Berry
    Ugh, this sucks! Where is the nue?
[10:16] Berry
    Quit slacking!
[10:18] Hack
    Bored now.
[10:20] Hack
    You do it, nerdy-birdy.
[10:22] Berry
    Our job is to find the nue!
[10:27] Berry
    Come on, Hack!
[10:47] Hack
    Gotcha!
[10:48] Berry
    Finn! We've got something!
[10:51] Finn
    That's the data for the nue.
[10:52] Finn
    Give me a second.
    I'll make it rewritable.
[11:03] Hack
    All done!
[11:05] Berry
    Oh, come on. It looked nothing like that.
[11:07] Berry
    It had a rounder belly, I think.
[11:10] Berry
    Ta-da!
[11:12] Hack
    Nerdy-birdy sucks at this!
[11:15] Hack
    Dora-nue-mon!
[11:16] Berry
    Nue-rril!
[11:18] Hack
    Gimme!
[11:18] Berry
    Quit it!
[11:25] Berry
    What the heck?
[11:27] Finn
    Enough. You're not here to play around.
[11:29] Berry
    Right...
[11:32] Berry
    Hey! Stop!
[11:34] Berry
    Get back here!
[11:42] Hack
    Ragey-rage...
[11:50] Berry
    Gotcha!
[11:57] Berry
    Shoot, that's Customer Center security.
[12:10] Hack
    Oops.
[12:12] Hack
    There!
[12:17] Finn
    If that data makes it out of here,
[12:19] Finn
    it'll get distributed as the
    updated nue information.
[12:22] Finn
    Catch it quick.
[12:23] Berry
    We know!
[12:32] Hack
    Nerdy-birdy...
[12:51] Girl
    What's this thing?
[12:53] Berry
    The nue took off on its own...
[12:59] Berry
    Spreading far and wide...
[13:03] Isda
    What the heck? This is hilarious!
[13:10] Isda
    Oh man, it's blowing up!
[13:14] Berry
    And somewhere along the line,
    the nue started being considered lucky.
[13:21] Berry
    Before long, it was a full-on nue craze.
[13:24] Gal A
    It's all about nue! Nue rocks!

[13:45] Professor
    The comments the museum has been

    gross nue on display."
[13:54] Professor

    I'm really sorry! We didn't
     think it'd turn out like this!
[14:14] Professor
    This museum only displays animals based
    off of scientifically accurate information.
[14:21] Professor
    My beloved nue is weeping in sorrow.
[14:29] Professor
    I'm sorry, but as things stand,
     I won't be paying you.
[14:36] Berry
    What do we do?
[14:38] Berry
    Isn't there some way to get
    rid of all that fake nue info?
[14:43] Hank
    Not after the way it blew up, no.
[14:47] Hack
    Nue-nue is fine, too.
[14:49] Berry
    We can't just ignore false information.
[14:53] Hack
    Why not?
[14:54] Berry
    What do you mean? Because it's not right.
[14:57] Berry
    And we won't get paid, either.
[14:59] Berry
    We need to make sure it's corrected.
[15:03] Madam
    I actually have the truth right here.
[15:05] Smiley
    Yep.
[15:07] Berry
    A book?! A real one?!
[15:10] Finn
    Remarkable.
[15:11] Finn
    It's positively ancient, too.
[15:14] Madam
    Oh? It seems we've dug up something
     even Finn isn't familiar with.
[15:20] Finn
    Where did you find it?
[15:21] Madam
    An old friend of mine let me have it.
[15:25] Hack
    Sniff sniff. Stinky!
[15:27] Madam
    That's the smell of old books.
[15:30] Madam
    That's an illustrated book with
    a lot of old knowledge in it.
[15:34] Hack
    It's super stinky!
[15:36] Smiley
    Still smells better than you.
[15:38] Hack
    Sniff sniff. So stinky!

    Read that page, if you would.

    Nue
[15:48] Berry
    "Nue: A fictional creature,
    passed down through oral tradition."
[15:52] Hank
    Wait, so as a species,
    the nue never actually existed?
[15:57] Berry
    Which would mean both the Decopedia nue
    and the one at the Neo Animal Museum
[16:02] Berry
    are based on false information?
[16:04] Madam
    I heard a line when Moses and I
     were searching through the reeds...
[16:08] Madam
    "The best way to get someone to believe
    a lie is to wrap it up in an obvious truth."
[16:15] Madam
    "You'll never find a more
     effective way than that."
[16:19] Berry
    Uh... What does it mean?
[16:21] Madam
    The truth can be a mistake,
    and a mistake can be the truth.
[16:25] Madam
    And a mistake is a mistake,
    and the truth is the truth.
[16:30] Berry
    Is there any chance the
    info in this book is wrong?
[16:33] Finn
    From what I'm seeing, I'd say it's much
    more likely that the Professor is wrong.
[16:38] Berry
    We'd better tell him the truth, then.
[16:40] Hack
    "Truth"?
[16:42] Berry
    Yeah. The truth that the nue isn't real.
[16:46] Hack
    "True" this, "false" that...
[16:49] Hack
    Nerdy-birdy, you're boring.
[16:52] Berry
    It's not about what's boring or not.
[16:55] Berry
    I wouldn't want someone believing
    something about me that wasn't true.
[16:59] Berry
    Wouldn't you feel the same way, Hack?
[17:03] Berry
    Well...
[17:04] Berry
    I guess, in your case, there's no
     info to be found, true or false.
[17:09] Finn
    Hack's info?
[17:10] Berry
    Oh, when I was looking at the records in
    the Customer Center, I took a peek at it.
[17:15] Berry
    There was no record of Hack's past at all.
[17:18] Hack
    Who said you could do that?!
[17:20] Hack
    Ragey-rage rage rage rage rage!
[17:25] Hack
    Nerdy-birdy, you're in the wrong!
[17:27] Berry
    I was just looking! And anyway, it said we
    were both dead, so I didn't find anything.
[17:33] Hack
    You're alive, nerdy-birdy!
[17:36] Hack
    Data says you're dead,
    but I see you living right now!
[17:40] Hack
    So the info's wrong!
[17:43] Hack
    Ya gotta look with your own
    eyes to find out what's true!
[17:48] Berry
    There are some truths
    you can't see for yourself!
[17:52] Berry
    Diary, I'm feeling awful.
[17:56] Berry
    What am I supposed to do?
[17:58] Berry
    Can it really be wrong
    to tell people the truth?
[18:04] Berry
    I dunno.
[18:06] Berry
    I dunno, but the Professor
    did want the truth, so...
[18:13] Berry
    This can't be wrong, can it?
[18:17] Professor
    I knew all along that the
     nue never really existed.
[18:21] Berry
    Wait, really?
[18:23] Professor
    Really.
[18:45] Berry
    What are you doing?
[18:47] Professor
    Inaccurate information must be erased.
[18:51] Berry
    Wait, you're gonna get rid of the nue?!
    Do you really have to go that far?
[18:55] Professor
    It's the policy of this museum to only
    display scientifically accurate animals.
[19:00] Professor
    It would be wrong to have a
     fictional creature on display.
[19:05] Berry
    But you said you loved your nue!
[19:08] Professor
    I have no need for false information.
[19:27] Berry
    All trace of the nue the

    Professor loved was gone.

[19:51] Berry
    The nue craze was over before you knew it,
    and replaced by something else.
[19:55] Berry
    No one even seemed to
    remember the nue anymore.
[19:58] Berry
    It was like it had never
    existed in the first place.

    But I'm kind of sad that the nue
    seems to be gone completely.
[20:20] Berry
    Nue nue...
[20:26] Finn
    Did you apologize to Hack?
[20:29] Finn
    For looking up data you shouldn't have.
[20:32] Finn
    I think you should apologize.
[20:35] Berry
    Was it really that bad?
[20:37] Finn
    Yurei have pasts, too.
[20:41] Finn
    And everyone has things in their
    past they'd rather keep private.
[21:00] Berry
    Listen, Hack... I'm sorry about what I did.
[21:06] Berry
    What're you looking at?
[21:07] Hack
    Looked up nerdy-birdy's
    school data. Without asking!
[21:12] Hack
