"Sarge is in denial, he's Sarge." Blake chuckled, "Grif doesn't care and Simmons follows Sarge no matter what. Donut wasn't there when Washington told them they were practice so he doesn't know."

"And I don't think it matters to the blues." Jaune added.

The camera pans low enough to reveal Doc

Doc: "Command? Come in? Come in, this is Medical Officer Dufresne. I have reached FPS Outpost 17."

Jaune snorted, "FPS, nice."

Ruby and Yang chuckled along with him.

"Frames per second?" Ren asked, "I don't see how that acronym makes sense here."

"That's not what FPS means? I mean not what it means here I think." Ruby frowned.

"First Person Shooter." Jaune explained, "It's a type of game where you're in first person and you shoot at things."

"Nice explanation." Yang chuckled.

"Hmm so would I be wrong in assuming that's what the game this show is set in is?" Ren asked.

The three gamers pursed their lips in thought.

"I mean it makes sense, there aren't a lot of third person shooters that are competitive instead of solo story games." Yang said.

The other two nodded as Ren took note of it, literally.

Cut to Simmons watching Doc from afar.

Simmons: "Hey, down here, we're over here! Hey, come down here!"

"Hmm I guess this means Washington and the Meta left." Weiss guessed.

"And Donut is alive!" Nora grinned, "You can't call a medic for a dead person."

"Yeah, he's supposed to comfort Donut while he dies." Yang quipped.

Weiss groaned, "I still do not like their definition of a medic."

Doc: "Never mind Command, I think I see the objective. Stupid radio doesn't work anyway. What else is new."

"The radio doesn't work? Suspicious." Blake mumbled.

Ren nodded.

Doc runs down to Simmons and dead Donut

Doc: "Holy cow, Simmons! Is that you?"

Simmons: "Oh, hey Doc. Man, I didn't know they'd send you."

"Simmons sounds weird?" Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. He does." Blake shook her head.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Jaune added.

Doc: "Yeah, we got the radio call and I was the closest medic so they sent me. But I didn't know it'd be you guys! Small galaxy, huh? Man, we got a lotta catching up to do. So what's up, somebody hurt or what? What's going on?"

Simmons: "Him."

Simmons gestures to Donut's dead body

Doc: "Him? Um, he's dead."

Nora sagged and let out a tiny whine.

Pyrrha wordlessly patted her on the shoulder.

Simmons: "Yeah, he is. He was shot."

Blake winced involuntarily.

Doc: "Um, Simmons, I know it's been a while since we've seen each other, and I have increased my skill as a medic in that time, but dead is still pretty much outside my jurisdiction."
