Fade in to Blue Base, with Tucker moaning.
Tucker: Uuuuuuuhuuugh.... Uuuuuuhhhohgaawwwwd..
Church: Man, he sounds terrible.
Caboose: Yeah, he's been like that since the swamp.
Church: Swamp? You guys were in a swamp?
Caboose: Yeah. It was dark and swampy. I wasn't scared at all.
Church: Is this why you guys came home so fast?
Caboose: No, we came home because the alien died, and because the uh glowing sword turned out to be a, uh, glowing key.
Church: Yeah, a glowing key that can still stab people.
Caboose: Right.
Church: So it is a sword. It just happens to function like a key in very specific situations.
Caboose: Or it's a key all the time, and when you stick it in people, it unlocks their death.
Church: God damn man, I would love to live in your world for about ten minutes.
Caboose: Yeah. I have a really good time.
Church: Ehehehyeah, it seems like it. You know I don't think I'd get anything done, but I probably wouldn't care that much.
Tucker: Uuuuuhhhhhhhoh...
Sheila pulls up beside Church and Caboose. Rayner's jumps out of the driver's seat before Sheila drives off again.
Church: Oh, you guys done?
Rayner: Yup. I kinda wanted to make a Mount Rushmore but with anime characters, but the cliff wasn't big enough for that. So I did the next best thing.
They turn around as the view pans over to the cliff with a crudely made Mjolnir helmet carved into it.
Caboose: Neat.
Church: Eh, could've used more work.
Rayner: Anyways, hey Caboose. Welcome back. How'd your little quest went?
Caboose: It was a lot of fun. We fought a dead monster, crunchbite hugged Tucker in his sleep, we found a base full of people that Tex beat up, we found a ship, the alien took the ship, the ship got shot down by Wyoming, Tex went after Wyoming, an-and now we're here!
Rayner: Wait, Tammy's dead? Sweet.
Church: In short, they fucking failed.
Rayner: What, were you expecting something different?
Church: Good point.
Tucker: Uuuuuoooohoho...
Rayner: Woah, what's gotten into him?
Church: I don't know. He's been like this ever since they got back. Hey Tucker, you okay?
Tucker: Ohh, why don't you guys come in here?
Church: Uh, because it might be contagious? Aaand because we've got to think about the health of the unit as a whole. I came up with that pretty fast.
Caboose: And because you threw up ten minutes ago! And that's just gross!
Church: Hey wait a second, you don't think that sword-
Caboose: You mean the key?
Church: No I mean the sword. You don't suppose that sword is makin' him sick, do you?
