Sarge, Leo and Caboose are by C.T.'s jeep. Grif is by the wrecked jeeps and other junk, trying to radio Simmons at Valhalla.
Grif: Simmons, come on, Simmons, are you there or what? (No answer, only static) Okay I give up. Something's wrong with the radio now, too. Hey, Leo go check their jeep!
Grif walks back to the group.
Leo: On it. (Walks towards the jeep and starts searching it.)
Sarge: What the hell is wrong with this jeep anyway? It doesn't have a turret.
Caboose: Maybe it's just a car?
Sarge: What does that mean?
Caboose: You know, like a car. A regular car.
Sarge: What kind of car doesn't have a massive cannon on it?
Caboose: All kinds of cars. Most kinds of cars.
Sarge: That's ridiculous. That would be like saying there's some kind of thing you can wear on your head that's not armor plated, and doesn't offer a 5X optical zoom.
Grif: Sarge, you've been in the military a really long time have you.
Sarge: Yep. It's been a good run.
Leo: Damnit, no radio here! But, it looks like someone yanked it out. Why would they even pull the radio out of their own jeep?
Caboose: Let me take a look at it, Leo.
Leo: What are planning on doing, Caboose?
Caboose: Maybe I can fix it.
Leo: Caboose, how are you going to fix something that isn't even the- You know what go for it, Caboose. (Walks over to Grif and Sarge) Guys, something is really wrong here. I mean, why would they deliberately pull the radio out of their own jeep!
Grif: Yeah, I can't even get a signal on long range?
Sarge: Something does seem out of place, but maybe we're overreacting. Maybe they're just using the parts from this radio to fix the others.
Grif: And we just happen to only find all the ones that are broken? That seems unlikely.
Sarge: Hmm, maybe they have one enormous radio somewhere that requires a ton of parts, like one the size of a house.
Grif: ... Once again, unlikely. Wait a second... (Grif turns to the Elephant) What about that thing? The big freighter? It looks like a mobile base. Maybe it has a radio.
Leo: You might be on to something, Grif.
While the reds are speaking, Caboose is by the jeep... speaking to someone.
Caboose: (Whispers) Sheila, is that you? Are you there? Um... Delta? (Quieter) Tex?
Sarge: Hey, what are you up to over there?
Caboose: Nothing. (Drops the Epsilon unit) I'm up to nothing.
Sarge: What is that? What are you doing?
In the distance, C.T walking towards them.
Grif: Uh-oh, here comes-
Leo: Caboose, stop messing with their jeep now!
Caboose: I'm not doing anything! Just ignore me!
Leo: If you're not doing anything Caboose, then what would we be ignoring?
Caboose: Ignore what I'm not doing.
Valhalla/Red Base
Lopez and Simmons are standing by two mongoose's.
Lopez: >OK Simmons. Your motorcycles are ready.<
Simmons: Wow Lopez. That's great. You made motorcycles? Thanks!
Lopez: >Now you can catch up to Sarge, tell him about that A.I. unit.<
Simmons: Now I can catch up to Sarge, and tell him all about that A.I. unit he has.
Lopez: >Are you mocking me?<
Simmons: All right. I'll be back as soon as I can. Come on, Donut! (No response) Hey Lopez? Did you see where Donut went?
Lopez: >No.<
Simmons: I bet he's over at Blue Base again with Wade. I'll go get him. Man, why do I have to do everything around here?
Lopez: >You? I'm the one who just built two motorcycles.<
Simmons: Yeah, I know Lopez. I guess I'm just naturally responsible, and people take advantage of that. It's a curse really. (Gets on one of the motorcycle) I'll go grab Donut and bring him back for his motorcycle.
Lopez: >No. That's not for Donut.<
Simmons: No, that's not for Donut? Then why'd you build a second one?
Lopez: >That's a spare. If there's anything I've learned about working with you idiots, it's always build two vehicles.<
Simmons: Uh-huh? I don't even understand- okay whatever Lopez, see you soon!
As soon as Simmons drives off, an explosion is heard with the wrecked mongoose coming back to Lopez. Simmons then goes back to Lopez.
Simmons: Hey, um, I'm just gonna take this other motorcycle.
Lopez: >The keys are in the ignition.<

To Sarge, Leo and Grif discussing. While Caboose, is still crouched besides the jeep.
Sarge: Okay, let's see what we can find out. You guys follow my lead.
C.T, Sarge, Leo and Grif approach each other.
C.T: Hey, what's going on down here?
Caboose: I said nothing.
Sarge: (Coughs) We're just down here scavenging for parts like you said.
C.T: Okay, well hurry it up.
Leo: You do realise, it's not gonna be fixed in the next ten minutes, right?
C.T: Yeah, just the sooner the better.
Leo: Why? What's going on around here?
C.T: I can't tell you that.
Sarge: You can't tell us, or you don't want to tell us?
C.T: I can't tell you which is convenient because I don't want to tell you.
Grif: Why don't you want to tell us?
C.T: Because it's secret!
Sarge: Regular secret, or top secret?
C.T: Top secret!
Sarge: Damnit, the worst kind!
Leo: Well, why is it so secretive?
C.T: I can't tell you that because that information is classified.
Sarge: Classified as what?
C.T: Classified as something I can't tell you, now stop fishing for information!
Grif: ...What information do you think we're fishing for?
C.T: Okay, that wasn't even a good attempt.
Grif: Yeah, I gotta agree with that.
C.T: Look, I'm sure you're curious. We're curious about you as well. All you need to know is what you can plainly see: We're trying to uncover that structure to... recover something. That's already more than you need to know!
Sarge: Mmm, what's your rank, Soldier?
C.T: Not one you would recognize. Now let's- Hey! (C.T. looks around, with no sign of Caboose) Where's your other guy?
Sarge: Uh, what guy?
C.T: The other guy.
Sarge: He's right there. (Points at Leo)
C.T: The other, other guy!
Grif: He's right... there?
C.T: THAT'S IT!! You're either here to investigate us, or you're complete idiots! Either way, I've had it.
Leo: Investigate?
C.T: Grrrrr... Tell me where the blue guy went, or I'll shoot the orange one.
Sarge: ...
C.T: ...Well!?
Grif: Dude, I can save you some time. You just picked the wrong guy to threaten. It'll make more sense when you get to know us.
Suddenly, alarms go off. Soldiers and aliens are seen rushing to the Elephant.
C.T: That's him, isn't it!?
Leo: (Sighs) Probably.
C.T: Move! Up the hill!
C.T aims a gun at them, forcing them to walk up the hill.
The End
