We see the blues outside of their base, standing next to their tank.
Tucker: "C'mon, Carmine, give us some details!"
Carmine: "I'd uh... Rather not."
Church: "Why not? Tucker shared some of his... stories. I only think it's fair that you share something too."
Tucker: "See! Even Church agrees with me!"
Church: "I still fuckin' hate you."
Zeta appears over Carmine's shoulder, her arms crossed.
Zeta: "Maybe Carmine still has bad memories here. So why don't you back off?"
Carmine: *sigh* "It's fine, Z. I got this."
Carmine takes a deep breath before sitting on the hood of the tank.
Carmine: "I'm gonna say this now, and I'm only gonna say it once. We weren't ever together. But I liked her. I don't know if she felt the same. We met through work."
Tucker: "And where'd you work? Before this?"
Carmine: "We were in... Boot Camp together. She was hands down one of, if not the best fighter there. She kicked my ass plenty of times."
Church: "Must've been really good to beat you."
Carmine: "She was. Like I said, probably the best one there."
Carmine goes quiet for about a minute, fiddling with his knife.
Caboose: "What happened next?!"
Carmine: "Well, the last time I saw her we had a... disagreement. And then a few months later, I was shipped out here just before Flowers died."
Tucker: "...What's her name?"
Church: "I was thinking the same thing."
Caboose: "Yes! I would also like to know the name of this nice lady."
Carmine: "...Caroline."
Carmine stares at the knife in his hand, specifically at the handle. Engraved into the handle is a single letter: "C". Church clears his throat.
Church: "Well I'll uh... I'll let you in on a little secret. I've uh... I've actually got a girl back home myself."
Tucker: "Oh yeah? Girlfriend or wife?"
Church: "No man, she's just my girlfriend, ya know? We were gonna get married, but I got shipped out... ah, you know how it works."
Carmine: "What's her name?"
Church: "Allison."
Carmine: (thoughts) "Allison... Could it be?..."
Caboose: "I'm not gonna get married. My dad always said, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?'"
Church: "Hey, rookie... did you just call my girlfriend a cow?"
Tucker: "No, I think he called her a slut!"
Carmine: "The fuck? Where'd you get that from, Tucker?"
Church: "I'll tell you what, noob. I could sit out here and listen to you insult my girlfriend all day long, but as it turns out, I got a lot more important job for you."
Caboose: "Great."
Church: "See, we've got this General."
Tucker: "Right, the General guy."
