The camera pans over Sandtrap, where Sarge and Caboose are by C.T.'s jeep. Grif and South are by the wrecked jeeps and other junk, trying to radio the reds at Valhalla.
South: (tuning radio) "Ok try it now."
Grif: "Simmons, come on, Simmons, are you there or what? Shadow? Wade? Come on I'll even take Donut at this point! (No answer, only static) Okay I give up. Something's wrong with the radio now, too. Let's go check their jeep."
South: (sigh) "Let's go."
They leave the radio and walk over to a Jeep near Caboose, Sarge, Alexis and Ash.
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."
Alexis: "Civilian 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."
Ash: "That's called a hat Sarge."
Sarge: "A what now?"
Caboose: "I think you've been in the military a really long time."
Sarge: "Yep. It's been a good run."
Grif: "Damnit, no radio here either? "
South: "Someone's yanked it out."
Grif: "Why would they deliberately pull the radio out of their own jeep?"
South: "Who knows. Something's not right here."
Caboose: "Let me take a look at it, guys."
Grif: "Why? You want to confirm that there's no radio?"
Caboose: "Maybe I can fix it."
South: "How are you going to fix something that isn't even the- You know what, no, fuck it, go for it, whatever." (walks over to Sarge with Grif)
Grif: "Sarge, this place gives me the creeps. Something's really wrong here. I mean, why would they deliberately pull the radio out of their own jeep, and why can't South and I get a signal on long range?"
Alexis: "This is weird."
Ash: "Agreed."
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."
South: "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... (camera and Grif turn to the Elephant) What about that thing? The big freighter? It looks like a mobile base. Maybe it has a radio."
South: "Maybe."
The camera jumps to Caboose by the jeep.
Caboose: "Sheila, is that you? Are you there? Um... Delta? Hello?"
