Credits come in panning down a very tall building

Tex: Okay, I'm officially worried. There hasn't been any movement for days. It looks like they've bunkered down, or left.

Rick: Could be a coincidence.

York: I agree with Zone. What do you think, D?

Delta: If Omega is inside the building, we must enter to locate him. If he has already left, that building contains the only clues to his current location. In either scenario, we must-

York: Let's go.

York, Rick and Tex run along the desert plain toward the building

Tex: Okay then, stick to the plan. We split, maintain visual, no radios, movement on fours. Sync?

York: Synced.

Rick: Sync.

Tex: Go.

York runs forward.

Delta: (in his head) York, I am concerned. I have been monitoring Agent Texas and Arizona, their vital statistics are well above normal.

York: I'm sure she's just tense, D.

Tex and Rick run by.

York: Okay? I am too, and I'm not fighting something that lived in my head for a few years.

Delta: (appearing and running too) Agree, but the anomaly is worth noting. Once we encounter the target her emotions may make her actions erratic.

York: What can I tell ya? Just one of the things that makes us human, D.

Delta: (catching up) Excellent point, York. I was not looking at it from a flawed perspective. I will try to do so in the future.

York: Well it sure would make these conversations easier. Thanks for coming down to my level, D.

Delta: I am here to assist.

Tex, Rick and York run into the base and join up inside

Tex: No vis.

Rick: No vis.

York: No vis.

Tex: There it is, bust the lock and this teleporter will take us up top.

York: Whoa whoa, you said an encrypted lock. This is a holographic lock.

Rick: Is there a difference?

York: Yeah, hence the two names.

Ric: (sigh) Can you open it or not?

York: Of course I can! It's just much harder. I just brought it up 'cause I wanted you to realize how kick-ass I am.

Tex: I'm convinced, get to work.

Delta: (reappearing) York, why are we doing this? Killing Omega will not repair the damage he did to your optic nerve.

York: I'm not doin' it to fix my eye, D. I'm doin' it because my eye is broken.

Delta: I apologize, but that does not make sense to me.

York: Omega and Allison were always the best. No one could compete with them, except Zone. Not me, not Wyoming not anybody except him. Trying to beat them when I should have given up is how I got hurt in the first place.

Delta: Oh, so it is pride. I was registering an emotion, but I incorrectly categorized it as "stupidity."

York: Yeah, they're closely related.
