Fade in to Grif, Thea and Simmons in the underground lair. Thea was humming 'Hey brother' by Avicii to claim Grif down.

Grif: I heard something that time.

Simmons: You didn't hear anything.

Thea: Stay claim Grif, freaking out won't help with your fear.

Grif: There, did you hear that?

Simmons: Yes, I heard water dripping.

Grif: Sounds like bats!

Thea: That's not what bats sound like.

Simmons: Bats, aren't made of liquid. Bats don't drip.

Grif: Bat-water!

Simmons: There are no bats!

Thea: I didn't pick anything up with my TACPAD. We're safe.

Grif: You don't know, what if you're wrong?

Simmons: Okay, idiot, let's assume I'm wrong. Let's assume there are bats. So what? You're wearing state-of-the art, biomechanical body-armour. It's designed to deflect bullets and absorb explosions. What can a five-ounce flying rodent possibly do?

Grif: ...So basically you're saying that you think there's bats.

Simmons: Sure, why not.

Grif: I'm getting the hell outta here.

Grif tries to leave but Simmons stops him.

Simmons: No you're not, Grif, we're standing right here. I told Sarge we wouldn't move, and we're not moving.

Grif: At least let's go stand by the light.

Thea: They would be able to see us better if we're in the light.

Grif: See?!? Even Thea agrees!

Simmons: No, that would be moving, and thus would violate our strict "no moving" policy.

Grif: But the light-

Simmons: No.

Grif: -would help us see the bats!

Simmons: NO.

Grif: And their fangs!

Simmons: NO!

Grif: Hey, you know what else might be in the cave, Simmons? Snakes.

Simmons: You're an asshole Grif, why would you bring up snakes?

Grif: I'm just saying. I know you don't like snakes, and snakes do live in caves, and we are in a cave, and snakes like to crawl right up next to people in caves, and then they-

Simmons: Alright, screw it, I'm gonna go stand by the light.

Simmons runs towards the lighted area while Thea and Grif walk.

Thea: That's one way to get him to move.

Grif: Works every time.

Cut to Blue Base, then to Doc approaching

Doc: Okay, I talked to Sheila, you guys were right: she definitely seems a little odd.

Church: Yup, so whaddaya think?

Doc: I think she seems like there's something wrong.

Church: That's your diagnosis? That's why we sent you down there, man. Because we knew something was wrong.

Doc: I'm a medic, what do you want from me?

Church: How about fixing her?

Doc: Well, surprisingly, my medical training didn't cover internal combustion.
