Zone enters the facility and sees Wash and Carolina. Carolina was staring at the turbines inside. 

[Looking for something?] 

"Leads, information, anything. Wash, you said Maine had been through here, right?" 

"Well, yeah, but that was ages ago." Wash reminds her. 

"Then look closely. Don't tell me hanging around those morons has turned you two soft." Carolina turns to them. From on top of a balcony Tucker and Epsilon sneak in, watching the three Freelancers. 

"Hey, she said morons, that's us." Tucker whispers. 

"Tucker, shut up, let me listen." 

"The Meta was attempting to transfer energy from these turbines into his suit. It was the only way he could keep his equipment running." Wash explained. 

[Geezoloo...Dax...] 

"Poor Maine." Carolina sighs. 

"Carolina, it wasn't your fault." Wash places his hand on her shoulder. 

"But it was my AI." Carolina brushes his hand off. 

"None of us could have known what would happen." 

"Yeah? Well sometimes I'm not so sure." Carolina walks past them, her back facing them. 

[What?] 

"We were told that the AI were specifically designed for each of us, right? North was chosen for Theta, York had Delta, Zone you have Xi, but Sigma was mine." 

"What are you saying?" Wash asks. 

"You really think the Director didn't know what would happen?" 

Zone and Wash look at each other. [Carolina, that's ridiculous.] 

"He always had his little experiments. He just forgot to take a few extra variables into account." 

"And what about now? The whole world thinks you and Zone are dead. Do you think he knows we're coming for him?

"Yes, I do. And for once, I look forward to proving him right." Carolina says with determination. 

[(Sighs) The Director was always hard on you.] 

"Dude, he said hard on. Bow chicka-" 

"Shut up. They're gonna hear you." Church seethes. 

"He was hard on all of us, Rex." Carolina says putting her hands on his arms.  

"Oh come on, you've got to let me have that one." Tucker mutters persistently. 

"Quiet, you're going to give away our position." Church protests. 

"I've got about five positions in mind for her. Bow chicka-" 

"Tucker, I'm serious!" 

[Yeah, you're right.] 

"But you have to admit, he was also pretty hard on himself." Wash adds. 

"That's it, I'm doing it." Tucker stands up. 

"Tucker!" 

"BOW CHICKA BOW-" Carolina turns around and fires her weapon, hitting the wall next to Tucker. "WHOA! SAME TEAM, SAME TEAM!" 

"What are you doing here?" Carolina demands. 

"Okay, take it easy, Carolina. We just wanted information." Church explains. 

"Epsilon?" Wash says surprised. 

"Look, if you two are planning on dragging us around wherever you want, the least you could do is fill us in."
