We open to a familiar scene. Armory, weapons, Cal, music.

He pauses it and looks at South, who was pacing angrily back and forth.

Cal: She did what?!

South: Both of them! Fucking BOTH OF THEM!

Cal set down Maine's knifle and shook his head.

Cal: Having one is enough of a hassle- no offense, Rho.

Rho: None was taken.

Cal: Trust me, before long she'll be begging to have them ripped out.

South: Agh, she's always like this! Doesn't think about the rest of us, just as long as she's on top! Selfish bitch!

Cal puts a hand on his chin thoughtfully.

Cal: Hmm, reminds me of someone.

South: Who?

Cal silently stares at her.

South: ...

Cal: ...

South: ...

Cal: ...

South: ...Shut up.

Cal: Heh.

Later

Cal: They're having a what?!

Wash: A match, yeah.

Cal: But Carolina just got out! She needs to take it slow.

York: I tried telling her that, but you know how she gets.

Cal sighed.

Cal: Can't believe the Director would sign off on this.

Wash: ...Well...

Cal: The Director doesn't know, does he?

North: No, he doesn't.

Cal: Who wants to bet this ends in a trainwreck?

Wash: Oh, definitely.

York: Yup.

North: I'd bring a medkit, or two. Just in case.

Cal: I'll bring five.

Training Room

FILSS: A new challenger has arrived. Today's match up is Agent Texas vs Agent Carolina.

Cal finished stuffing his last medkit into his seemingly bottomless softcase as Carolina and Tex started gearing up. Sigma popped out of Maine to watch the match himself. Cal didn't really like that one.

York tried to give Carolina some emotional support, but a combination of FILSS's insistence and Carolina's scary glare made him leave fast.

From the observation deck, Cal briefly saw Eta and Iota appear by Carolina before disappearing. Also in the observation deck was Wyoming, Maine, Wash, and North. South was off somewhere, fuming in anger.

Cal: Holy shit, she actually got two of them...

North: Anyone want to bet that one of them gets killed?

Wash: Are you kidding? I'm hoping one of us doesn't get killed just by watching.

York arrives from the training floor and stands next to Cal.
