"Well we've learned the cubes can be set to different frequencies. For example, if I throw a cube set to frequency A, it will absorb an object." doc said as he throws a cube at a traffic cone."If I then throw a second cube on frequency A, that object will reappear." Doc demonstrates as he then throws another cube and the cone returns.

"Meanwhile, if I have a cube set to B, I can throw it like so." grif said as he throws a cube at a nearby crate along with doc.

"Yeah-" doc said he then saw it land near him and got caught in the cube blast "Hey wait!" The crate and Doc disappear.

"I can then throw a second cube set to B, without ever messing with the stuff sucked up by the cube set to A." grif said as he throws another cube. The crate reappears but there's no sign of Doc.

"So all they do is teleport things? No explosions? No violence?" sarge said

"Nah." grif said making sarge and rubrum looked at each other and both looked disappointed and sad

"Well I suppose we could make them absorb grenades. Then we could throw the grenade filled cubes back at the enemy." sarge said

"At that point wouldn't it make more sense to just throw grenades?" grif asked not understanding sarge's logic

"We're not here to make sense, Private! We're here to win! Now take Donut and figure out how to make your stupid cubes do somethin' useful." sarge said

"Sigh. Fine." grif said as he left and Donut followed suit.

"I'll go check on blau i trust you can handle everything here with cc and the lopez's" rubrum said

"Of course sir" sarge said as he gave a salut and rubrum gave one as well before walking off

"And at last we have the Lopezes. Stop standin' next to each other! I can never tell you two apart!" sarge said as Lopez 2.0 looks at Lopez's head and then at Sarge.

"¿Está jodidamente serio?" Lopez 2.0 [t:Are you fucking serious?]

"I need you two to get to work repairing CC's fuel tanks." sarge said

"¿Reparar el robot descompuesto?" Lopez said [t:Repair the malfunctioning robot?]

"¿El que trató matar a todo el mundo?" López 2.0[tThe one that tried to kill everyone?]

"I can't wait to see her, triumphantly leading the charge on the front lines, glistening in the sunlight, with the blood of her fallen enemies!" sarge said

"¡Esa será su sangre! ¡Ella cree que todo es su enemigo, idiota!" Lopez 2.0 said [t:That will be your blood! She thinks everything is her enemy, you moron!]

"Wait a minute, this is a terrible idea!" sarge said realizing something

"Gracias a Dios."  Lopez 2.0 said [t:Oh thank god.]

"Solo espera." Lopez said [t:Just wait.]

"I can't trust an idiotic robot with a job as important as this!" sarge said

"Ahí está." Lopez said [t:There it is.]

"¡¿DISCULPE?!" Lopez 2.0 said [t:EXCUSE ME!?]

"Change of plans. You two go prep the work station, and then wait for me to arrive to do the job myself. I'm gonna go find my favorite welding torch." sarge said

Sarge walks off. Cut to the Lopezes.

"...Está loco. Están todos locos." Lopez 2.0 said [t: ...He's insane.They're all insane.]

"¿Oye, dónde está Doc?" Lopez said [t:Hey, where's Doc?]

Cut to Blue base. Cut to Tucker backing up from Caboose.
