A Freelancer and A Blue Mecha

Head Noob in Charge

Church, Tucker, and Caboose are standing next to the tank outside Blue Base.

Church: Yeah I'll let you in on a little secret, I've uh... I've actually got a girl back home.

Tucker: Oh yeah? Girlfriend or wife?

Church: No, man, she's just my girlfriend, ya know? We were gonna get married, but I got shipped out... ah, you know how it works.

Tucker: Oh, well, you gonna marry her when you get back?

Caboose: I'm not gonna get married. My dad always said, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

Church: Hey, rookie.. did you just call my girlfriend a cow?

Tucker: No, I think he called her a slut!

Church: I'll tell you what, noob, I could sit out here and listen to you insult my girlfriend all day long, but as it turns out, I got a lot more important job for you to do.

Caboose: Great.

Church: See, we've got this General.

Tucker: Right, the General guy.

Church: ...who likes to come by and make random inspections of bases. So what I'm gonna have you do, is I'm gonna have you go in the base, and stand right next to the flag at attention, just in case he decides to come by.

Caboose: When is he coming by?

Tucker: We never know. Could be today, could be a week from now.

Caboose: You want me to stand at attention for a week?

Church: You know, you don't sound very grateful. This is the most important job at the whole base. You're gonna be right there with the flag. Plus Kaikaina going to be right behind you.

Caboose: What's so important about the flag?

Church: Oh, come on, don't they teach you guys anything in training?

Caboose: They didn't tell us anything about a flag. Why is it so important?

Church: Because it's the flag, man, you know, it's the f... it's the flag, it's... Tucker, you tell him why the flag is so important.

Tucker: Well... it's... it's complicated. Uh... It's blue, we're blue.

Church: It's just important, okay? Trust us. So when the General comes by, the first thing he's gonna want to do is inspect the flag.

Tucker: Right.

Church: So just go in there, you know, far away from us, and wait for him.

Caboose turns and heads for the base, but stops half way and turns around.

Caboose: Uh, how will I know when I see him?

Tucker: There's only three of us out here, rookie. He's gonna be the guy that doesn't look like one of us.

Church: Now get in there, and don't come out! (turns to Tucker) Man, that guy is dumber than you are.

Tucker: You mean he's dumber than you are.

Church: Wow, Tucker, that was a great come-back.

Caboose emerges from the base with Church and Tucker in the distance.

Caboose: Uh, Mr. Church? Sir?

Church: Oh my god, WHAT!? (turns to Tucker) Tucker, I swear, I'm gonna kill him!

Caboose: Sorry about calling your girl a slut...

Church: ROOKIE! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY, GET IN THERE!

Tucker: (turns around to laugh) Uh-huh huh huh huh!

Church: (turns around to face Tucker's back) Tucker, are you laughing at me?

Cut to inside the base where Caboose see Kaikaina looking at her computer writing notes.

Caboose: Hey Kaikaina. What are you doing?

Kaikaina: Oh hey Caboose I'm just working on a study I'm doing for myself.

Caboose: What's the study about?

Kaikaina: Oh you wouldn't like it. It's super boring.

Caboose: Oh o-oh Ok I'm stay and guard the flag.

Kaikaina: Ok Caboose! (Looks back at her computer for a bit) Wait what was that about guarding the flag.

Cut to back to Donut stepping up behind Church.

Donut: Excuse me, sir, can I ask you a question?

Church:Dear God in Heaven, rookie, if I turn around, and you are not inside, I.. I can't be held responsible for what I'm gonna do to you!

Donut: What did I do?

Church: One...

Donut: Aw, gimme a break.

Church: TWO!

Donut: Fine!

Donut runs in the base and walks up to Caboose. Seeing Kaikaina writing notes looking at shares about something.

Caboose: Wow, you got here fast!

Donut: Why is everyone so freakin' rude in this canyon?

Caboose: I'm not, sir. What can I do for you?

Donut: Finally, someone with a little respect around here.

Caboose: Yes, sir! I assume you're here because of this... (turns toward the flag)

Donut: Wait, is this all you have?

Caboose: Uh, yes, sir. That's it!

Donut: Aw man, this figures. Shit. What about elbow grease?

Caboose: Uhmm...

Donut: Headlight fluid?

Caboose: No. All we have is this flag.

Donut: Well, I can't go back empty handed. I guess I'll take that.

Caboose: Sure, that makes sense. I guess.

Donut: What's up with her?

Caboose: Oh she doing a study on something. She won't tell me.

Donut: Neat. (leaving with the flag) Man, they're gonna give me so much shit for coming back with just this stupid flag.

Cut to Church and Tucker.

Church:Well, enough gabbing out of us, let's take this bad boy out for a spin. Go ahead and hop in, Tucker.

Tucker: Me? I can't drive that thing.

Church: You're telling me you're not Armor Certified?

Tucker:I ca- I don't even know how to use the fucking sniper rifle. Don't you know how to drive that?

Church: No! ..Holy Crap! Who is running this army!?

Tucker: What about Kaikaina? She has Jet Alone she could drive the tank.

Church: Oh please would drive a tank instead of a Mecha suit.

Tucker: Mecha suit.

Caboose: (emerging from the base) Hey! Just wanted to let you know the General stopped by and picked up the flag!

Church: (to Caboose) Yeah! Okay! Whatever, moron! (to Tucker) Why would they give us a tank, if nobody here knows how to drive the damn thing? ...Wait a second... What did he just say?

Cut to Kaikaina she looks troubled about Zilla.

Kaikaina: Weird it's not by it's usually territory. It's far getting far from it. It's probably growing it's territory. Wait a second.

She types on her computer and then is shocked it is growing it's territory but it's getting closer and closer to blood gulch. Lucky it's heading back now but she needs to finish Jet Alone to be battle read. More importantly make sure that Jet Alone can grow in height.

Kaikaina: I need to finish the power core.
