"Working! It's working! It's alive! MWAHAHAHA!" Loco laughs like a villain.
"For real?" Temple says shocked.
"Yes, the resonance cascade is going! The drill is drilling! And the door will be opening too! Hooray!"
"Loco, you magnificent idiot! I love you right now!" Temple says shaking Loco's shoulders.
"Let's not pop the champagne just yet." Surge says entering. "The Reds and Blues are inside the facility. They have breached the outer defenses!"
"CRAP! Oh, well, whatever. Surge, hold them off. You just need to buy us time." Temple orders.
"But I don't have the re-"
"But nothing, Grunt! A soldier follows orders, no matter what. You taught me that. So, make good on that, and buy us some freaking time."
"Sir, yes, sir!" Surge nods and runs out of the room,
"Ooh! They're here! Oh boy! I-I have to get something from the ship." Loco starts to leave but Temple stops him.
"Woah, heck no! You need to stay here and watch these controls!"
"It runs itself!" Loco protests. "Plus, I'll be real quick!"
"Fine. But listen, Loco. The Reds and Blues are our mortal enemies. If you see them, you have to kill them. Got it?"
"Okay." Loco then runs off.
"And make it quick." Temple adds. Shadow then walks in. "Ah, Shadow there you are. Well done powering up the machine. Come with me, time to put an end to this." Temple walks out with Shadow on his heels.

The Reds and Blues and Dylan and Jax are all huddled together.
"Listen up, mission's simple. Find that crazy machine and shut it down." Tucker states.
"Uh, which way?" Simmons asks.
"No choice, we've got to split up. Reds, head thataways. The Blues and me and Carolina will take the other door."
"That was a heck of a hike up here, Carolina. Are you sure you don't need a minute?" Dylan says.
"Yes, I'm sure. If I take it easy, I'll be fine." Carolina says confidently. "Zone needs me. You, on the other hand?"
"Jax and I will stay here where it's safe for us. It's better that way."
"Let the record state that we all know you're lying." Tucker scowls.
"Duly noted." Dylan nods.
"Take Donut for protection at least."
"I knew I wore my latex armor for a reason!" Donut says cheerily.
"Why does Dylan get both the human shields?" Grif asks.
"Reds! On me! As far as days to die go, it's a little overcast. So, let's check our corners and make these animals pay!" Sarge declares.
"Blues! Let's light the fires and kick the tires!" Tucker shouts.
"Reds! Let's dance with these monkeys and give 'em what for!"
"Blues! Let's put the pedal to the metal and the rubber to the road!"
"Reds! Let's get jiggy with it!"
"Does this sort of thing happen often?" Dylan mutters to Carolina.
"I think the record is two hours." Carolina says back.
