S7 • E13 - Called Up

Fade into the UNSC Maximum Security Detention Facility.

Washington: "I'm sorry, but do we know each other?"

Chairman: "You are special Agent Washington, former member of Project Freelancer, also known by the designation, Recovery One."

Washington: "Also known as Prisoner 619-B."

Chairman: "Convicted, three counts dereliction of duty, eight counts of conspiracy to commit treason, and my personal favorite, seven counts destruction of protected classified military property."

Washington: "And you are...?"

Chairman: "I am someone extremely disappointed by destruction of the said property. That, is all you need to know."

Washington: "I want to make a deal. I have information that you want."

Chairman: "All the information that I want, was lost in the destruction of Project Freelancer."

Washington: "Not all of it."

Chairman: "Agent Washington, if you knew anything, that could have kept you out of prison, I am sure it would have come to light during your trial. So if you're quite through with wasting my time, will—"

Washington: "I know you're missing the Epsilon unit, and I know where to find it."

Chairman: "... You have my attention."

Washington: "It disappeared after the events of Freelancer Command. You searched everyone associated with the program. Even the Red Team Troopers you found."

Chairman: "Yes? The ones who were found bickering around the stalled jeep."

Washington: "There's another group of soldiers, a Blue squad. They escaped with Epsilon."

Chairman: "I show no record of these soldiers."

Washington: "And you won't, but I know where to find them. So here's the deal: I give you that missing module, you get me out of here. I get a clear slate, and we forget we ever knew each other."

Chairman: "That sounds fair."

Washington: "I have someone on the inside. He gets a clean slate too. But, I'm gonna need some equipment. Invisibility, overshields, anything left over from Freelancer."

Chairman: "I think we can point you in the right direction here."

Cuts to Valhalla; Simmons is screaming, jumping, as his busted motorcycle flies to the side. When he lands, he runs off in the same direction his motorcycle landed. The Meta is chasing after him, shooting at him with his brute shot.

Simmons: "Noooooooaahhahhahah!!"

Cuts to Sandtrap. Sarge, Ash, South, Alexis, Grif, and Caboose are beside the temple's entrance, shooting at whoever is approaching them. Caboose backs inside the temple and Tucker and Dani run in.

Tucker: "Guys, hold them off! We'll get the door!"

Grif, Sarge, and the rest of the blues move inside as well. The door closes.

Tucker: "There!"

Caboose: "Tucker!"

Tucker: "Hey, Caboose."

Ash: "Good to see you man."

Tucker: "You too. Hey where's Zeta?"

As if on cue, Zeta appears sitting on Ash's shoulder with her leg crossed over the other one.
