Ruby and Tucker stood behind Simmons and Kaikaina as they worked on something within Blue Base, Wash and South arriving shortly after.

Wash: What is all this?

Kaikaina: I don't fucking know, he just made me do crap.

Simmons: It's the future.

Tucker turned to the former freelancers.

Tucker: Where the hell have you two been?

Wash: I've been doing everything I can to keep us alive.

Tucker: Oh really? Where were you when Freckles tried to kill me for calling his tiny hat stupid?!

Wash: I thought you didn't need me protecting you, Tucker.

Ruby and South sighed in unison and were about to break the boys up, but Simmons interjected.

Simmons: Hey guys, I'm trying to revolutionize the world of the inter-canyon communication. So if you could just keep it down, that'd be great.

Wash: What is he talking about?

Simmons: I'm talking about. . . the internet!

A Google-type screen appeared but with 'Simmons' in the place of 'Google'.

Computer: Welcome.

Kaikaina/Tucker: Oh my god! Everybody leave! Everybody leave right now! There's something I've gotta do.

Wash: The internet?

Kaikaina/Tucker: Seriously, you're gonna see some shit if you don't l-

Ruby: Kaikaina. Tucker. *glares*

Kaikaina/Tucker: Sorry. . .

Simmons: Well, it's not actually the internet. The only two points of communication are Red and Blue base.

Tucker: Why would you lie to us like that?

South: You put this at Red Base too?

Simmons: Yeah, I had to sneak past Freckles, but it was totally worth it.

Ruby/South/Wash: Why?

Simmons: Behold!

The Facebook home screen was projected, but it was maroon in color and was named 'Basebook'.

Wash: Basebook?

Simmons: Yep, it's a site that lets you post pictures, videos, and even text posts so that your friends always know what you're up to. It's revolutionary!

Ruby: So it's like every other social media to ever exist?

Kaikaina: Yeah, that's pretty lame.

Tucker: Also, there are no friends in this canyon. Only forced acquaintances.

Simmons: Well yeah, but all those social media's just turned into conglomerations of attention whores. Nothing but teenagers who wanted to prove they were cool, and old people who wanted to prove they were still relevant.

Delta: That statistic is not very accurate.

Tucker: So, what's the point of Basebook?

Simmons: Oh, y'know, just wanna keep in touch with my friends on the Red team while I'm your prisoner. Can't let them forget about ol' Simmons! *laughs nervously*

Kaikaina: Your life is very sad.

Ruby: Be nice.

Kaikaina: Ugh, fine.
