At Blue base Tucker was on Blue Teams radio trying to contact command for help with Caboose was watching him from behind.

Tucker: Come in, Blue Command. This is Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha. Do you read me?

Caboose: Okay, that is the last of it. Your armour is now clean!

Tucker: Did you get all the black stuff off?

Vic: This is Blue Command. Come in, Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha.

Tucker: Hello, Command! We need help!

Vic: Roger that Blood Gulch. What is your request?

Tucker: I don't know the technical military term is for it, but, uh we're pretty fucked up down here. We need men!

Vic:......Dude, how long have you guys been down there?

Tucker: No, no, no n-not like that! We need more men to help us.

Vic: Roger that. Did you get the tank we sent you?

Tucker: Yeah, that got blown up too.

Vic: Wow, sucks to be you.

Tucker: Yeah, we know

Vic: Okay, here's what I can do. The nearest Blue forces can be there in 16 days, or I-

Tucker: 16 days?! That's almost 2 weeks!

Vic: Or I can hire a nearby freelancer and get him there within a few hours.

Caboose: I like the "In the hour" one.

Tucker: Yeah, me too. Roger that, Command. We prefer the quicker solution.

Vic: 10-4, Blood Gulch. We'll contact Freelancer Tex and have them there post-haste. Command Out.

Tucker: Whoever he is, make sure he can fix a tank.

Caboose: What's a freelancer?

Tucker: Freelancers are independent. They're not red or blue. They're just guns for hire who'll fight for whoever has the most money.

Caboose: Like a mercenary.

Tucker: Right. Or your mom when the rent's due

Caboose:...oh, that's funny.

Tucker: Yeah, you didn't think that was too obvious?

Caboose: No, no not at all. It it was good.

Meanwhile at Red Base Steve, Simmons and Grif were standing above the base looking around. 

Steve: Hey?

Simmons/Grif: Yeah?

Steve: Why do you call me by my first name instead of giving me a nick name?

Simmons: Because your files read that your last name is "Unknown." And unless that isn't your real name. We're gonna keep calling you Steve. It's quicker and easier to say.

Steve: Alright, what about your names then?

Simmons:..*whispers*...Dick....

Steve: Scuse me?

Simmons: IT'S DICK!

Grif: HAHAHAHA!

Simmons: Shut up fatass!

Steve: Dick is short for Richard, you could've said that. But now I'll refer to you as Dick forever and ever.

Simmons: Shut up Steve!
