Fade in, revealing Tucker and Wash working on the comm tower.
Tucker: I'm just sayin' I feel like somebody should have found us by now.
Washington: Hm?
Tucker: You know, it's like if a plane crashes and disappears that's fine, civilians, whatever.
Washington: Not sure if I agree with you on that.
Tucker: But this was a fucking spaceship. That's like national tragedy level important.
Washington: It was a big ship.
Tucker: And what about GPS? The Galactic Positioning System should have been able to inform Command of our location within seconds of a mayday.
Washington: How... do you know that?
Tucker: Uh...
Cut to inside the spaceship, before the crash
Spaceship Operator: The Galactic Positioning System would be able to inform Command of our location within seconds of a mayday, so even the ship were to crash rescue would be practically immediate. Isn't it that rad?
Tucker: Cool, nerd stuff. Hey, is it just me or is that blonde over there checking me out?
Spaceship Operator: Who? The pilot?
Tucker: Yeah she's definitely checking me out.
Tucker walks over to the pilot
Spaceship Operator: Wait! You can't go over there!
Tucker: Hey baby, I hear you're a pilot. Think you could pull up on my throttle? Bow chicka bow wow.
Alarms and red lights go off. Cut back to the canyon
Tucker: I read it in a book?
Washington: I don't believe you. (returns to work on the comm tower) Then again, I don't really care.
Tucker: Phew...
Washington: (straightening up again) Hey.
Tucker: Oh-oh what? Nothing.
Washington: What happened to my soldering iron?
Tucker: Ooh I don't know.
Washington: Dammit. This would be going so much faster if I didn't have to keep tracking down equipment every five minutes.
Tucker: What, you think the Reds took it?
Wash cocks a shotgun and imitates Sarge
Washington: Men, it appears our shitty fortifications aren't meeting my ridiculous standards! Let's steal Washington's tank and fire it at our walls! That'll fix it.
Tucker: ...
Washington: Yes, I think the Reds took it.
Tucker: Man, why are you so wound up all the time?
Washington: Because every second we're here is another second closer to death. Or worse.
Tucker: What's worse than death?
Washington: I don't know. I just thought it sounded dramatic.
Tucker: Come on, it's not that bad. I mean, if we were back in Blood Gulch, we'd be doing the exact same shit, you know.
