Church and Tucker had been behind the rock, while being fired at by the mini-gun and sniper rifle.

It had been twenty minutes and that keep is not running out of ammo and the sniper shots kept on coming.

Church: My god, doesn't that thing ever run out of bullets? Also who the fuck is shooting at us with a sniper rifle?

Tucker: Don't know, but you know, in hindsight, we should have brought the tank.

Church: Hey, Tucker, what good is a tank gonna do us if nobody here knows how to drive it?

Tucker: Yeah, I can see how hiding behind a rock is a much better strategy.

Church: Well, yeah, but... oh man, I guess I gotta give that one to ya.

Back with Caboose who jumps into the Tank as the door closes, the tank turns on.

Tank: Hello, and thank you for activating the M808V Main Battle Tank. You may call me Sheila.

Caboose: Hello. Sheila. Big tank lady.

Sheila: Would you like me to run the tutorial program?

Caboose: Oh, that'd be very nice. Thank you.

Sheila: Tutorial program activated. This program is intended to instruct non-certified personnel in the use of this Scorpion class tank. Let's begin with some driving.

Caboose: Okay.

Simmons kept on firing the warthogs gun with Grif behind him.

Grif: Simmons! SIMMONS!

Simmons finally stop firing and got out the jeep.

Grif: Man, that thing is loud.

Behind them Sheila drives behind them in the background.

Simmons: ...WHAT?

Grif: Come on, let's sneak around the back of the rock and get 'em out.

Simmons: OKAY.

Grif: Keep it down! Jesus. Let's go, before they figure out what's going on.

Back with Caboose who somehow got the tank stuck on a rock.

Sheila: Now that you've mastered driving the M808V, let's move on to some of the safety features.

Caboose: No, no, wait, go back! Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?

With Lara

Lara activates the coms.

Lara: What the bell is going on? Why are you guys not firing at the Blues.

Back with Church and Tucker. Church was peaking out, while Tucker was behind the rock doing nothing.

Church: (whispering) Psst, hey, they stopped firing.

Tucker: Why are you whispering?

Church: (whispering) Uhm... I don't know.

Simmons and Grif stood at the front from base of the cliff and they cut of their communication with Lara who cursing up a storm.

Grif: Aw, crap, I don't think we're gonna be able to get around this way.

Simmons: Tell me again, uh, why did we get out of the jeep?

Sheila rolls up right behind them.

Grif: Well, I guess it was this or sit there and watch you shoot rocks all day long.

Sheila's turret looks at Grif, then at Simmons as they speak.

Simmons: Well, at least that was fun.

Grif and Simmons turn simultaneously to see the tank.

Grif: Holy CRAP. What in God's name is that thing?

With Church and Tucker who were looking at the vacant Warthog.

Church: Tucker, don't be stupid. They're just trying to draw us out.

Tucker: No they're not, look - they left the jeep. They're gone.

Church: Well, I don't know about this. It seems pretty fishy, but... alright screw it, let's go get it.

In the view of Sheila's HUD. Her cross hair slowly homes in on Grif's head.

Grif: Dude, hold still. I don't think it sees us.
