After a moment of stunned silence and staring at the passed out girl on the ground, Captain zips up his pants and looks over his shoulder at Steve, his right-hand man and the only other man he doesn't find it too weird to sit with in a tank for a few days.

"Hey, uh, Steve?" he shouts.

"Yeah, Captain?" Steve shouts back. He's still surveying the remains of the helicopter they shot down earlier. He stoops down beside the wreckage, ignoring the burnt corpses and instead searching for cash or dirty magazines. He picks up a piece of metal that had melted and twisted into a curved shape . His gloved hand dusts away some of the char and dirt, revealing a painted insignia that looks strangely similar to their side's insignia. He flips it around a few times before realization dawns on him.

"Oh crap," he mutters. He hurries towards Captain.

Captain is nudging the still body on the ground with the toe of his boot, like she's a spider he squished that might suddenly spring back to life. "I think I might have just ... scared a girl to death," he states to Steve, once his friend is standing next to him. Steve, who was still holding onto the scrap metal, nearly drops it when he sees the girl.

"Ho-ly crap, Cap! The first girl we've seen out here for months, and you go and kill her. Great going," Steve folds his arms and shakes his head in disappointment. He sniffs and recoils. "Why does she smell like piss?"

Captain puts his hands on his hips and gives Steve a defiant frown. "Look, I don't need all of these questions right now, Steve; we've got a dead girl on our hands and enemy soldiers on our tails. Were there any survivors on that enemy copter you told us to take out?"

Steve averts his eyes and hides the metal behind hs back. "Nope, no enemy soldiers."

"Really? You're acting kind of weird, and it's making me doubt you."

Steve hurriedly stammers, "Uh, we should probably head back to base, Captain. We're almost out of fuel."

"Oh, right. But what to do with the bod... y...?" Captain turns back to face the girl ... and finds that she's gone.
