Scene opens with agents York, California, Hawaii, Washington, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the Freelancer locker room. South paces angrily in the background.

South Dakota: What?! This is bullshit!

MOTHER OF INVENTION LOCKER ROOM. MANY YEARS AGO...

North Dakota: South, calm down!

South: Calm down?! That's easy for you to say; you already have an A.I. Who the fuck is she to take away our place?!

California: You'll get your turn.

Washington: Ya Our turn will come. They've already put me back on the list for...

South aproaches him, forcing him down on a bench.

South: What?! Ugh!!

South kicks over the bench adjacent to Wash in frustration.

York: You ever notice every time you open your mouth you make things worse?

Washington: Sorry...

Hawaii: Just keep your mouth shut.

South: And two A.I.?! Why is she so special!? What's so special about either of them?!

Enraged, South punches Texas' locker open, causing the nametag to fall off. Tex walks in behind her.

Tex: Pick it up.

York: What're you doing in here? You never come in here.

Tex: I've come for Carolina.

Tex turns back to South.

Tex: Pick it up.

The two angrily glare at each other for a brief moment before South picks up a half of the nametag that reads "Tex". She shoves it towards Tex's chest and walks out of the room, angrily punching a wall on her way out.

North: I...I should probably uh....I better go.

North stands up and quickly leaves.

Tex: Where is she?

York: Look, Texas, I don't know if you're looking for a fight, or whatever it is you want, but now is not the time. Carolina just went into surgery. We don't know when she'll be out so we're headed over to recovery to wait for her.

As York is speaking, Tex walks over to her locker and finds a dog tag. She picks it up and briefly stares at it. York and Wash walk up behind her.

Washington: Yeah, Recovery One.

California: You should take that as a name it sounds kind of cool.

Washington: I'll keep it in mind.

York: Maybe you should come with us.

There is a brief pause as Tex continues to look at the dog tag.

York: Let's go. You coming, Texas?

Tex: Yeah, go on York, I'm right behind you.

York and Wash leave as Tex watches them go. She looks at the dog tag one last time and pockets it inside her armor, then closes the locker door.

Cut to the Blue base at Valhalla where Tucker Will, Ava, and Caboose are seen talking.

OUTPOST 17-B: VALHALLA. PRESENT DAY...

Tucker: This is the awesome new base? Looks the same as the shitty old base to me.

Ava: But smaller.

Caboose: Oh! You are gonna love it here! You know, its like our home away from home, that we can't ever get away from.

Tucker: So, let me get this straight, its just two bases, in the middle of a box canyon.

Will: We can't escape.

Caboose: Yes. But on one side, instead of a wall, there's an endless supply of water.

Tucker: Wow. You guys really know how to upgrade. Lemme guess; I bet this time, we've got a tank with eight pedals instead of six.

Caboose: Aw, don't be silly, we don't have a tank.

Will: We had a Jeep but the Meta blew it up.

Cut to the crashed Pelican. Washington and South walks out from behind it and over to the front where Carolina is investigating.

Carolina: All right, what have you got?

South: Nothing but parts.

Washington: Not much, a few shell casings, a dog tag and a photo...

Carolina: I was talking to Church....

Washington: Oh, sorry, I-

Epsilon appears on the windsheild of the Pelican.

Epsilon: Hey, whats up? Somebody call me?

Carolina: Yea, find anything yet?

Epsilon: Oh, not yet, but the onboard computer program is an old friend of mine; she's doing her best to help me out.

Carolina: Good. Keep it up.

Epsilon vanishes.

Carolina: Wash, South,  is there a reason you're just standing there doing nothing? Get back to it.

Washington: Umm, right...yes sir, boss.

Washington and South turns and walks away.

Carolina: Can't keep your secrets forever, Texas. Not from me... never from me.

Cut to the surgery room on board the Mother of Invention. Carolina lies on an operating table as two doctors prepare to implant her A.I.

MOTHER OF INVENTION MEDICAL LAB. MANY YEARS AGO...

The artificial gravity is disengaged and Carolina begins floating. One of the doctors holds her steady while the other one brings over a tray and picks up a shot. He gives Carolina the shot and procedes to implant the first of her two A.I.

Cut to the Recovery room. Carolina is lying asleep on a bed while Wyoming sits on a chair next to her. York, helmetless, walks in with Wash and sits down. In the background, Maine can be seen sitting on another bed while being examined by a doctor.

Washington: How's the patient?

Wyoming: Should be coming around any moment.

California: Ya.

York looks over at Maine.

York: What's he in for?

Washington: Probably for all the headaches he's been having. Did you ever get them after you got Delta?

York: At first, they went away pretty quick though. The other side effects were way worse.

Washington: What other side effects?

York: You know, bleeding from the eyes, ringing ears... inverted penis...

Washington: Inverted what?!

York: Dude, I'm just fucking with you, ok? Couple of headaches, that's it.

Washington: So whats different about Maine then?

Carolina begins to wake up.

York: Hey! She's awake!

York stands over her.

York: How you feeling, champ?

Carolina awakens and suddenly sits up.

Carolina: I want a match. Right... now.
