"Hey have you guys seen Doc? I need him to babysit for a while."

"Why?"

"Yeah well I've got him talkin' to Sheila. She's been actin' real wacky lately." Church say point over to the two

"Oh yeah? You mean weirder than your average talking tank?"

"Don't be snarky."

"Sorry dude, it's the hormones. I just had a baby!"

"Yeah, Sheila's been acting kinda distant and weird. Plus she's been saying these random threatening things. Kinda reminds me of somebody else."

"She a tank church how does her threats surprise you?"

"So why is Doc talking to her?"

"What, you didn't hear the "threatening" part I just said? I'm not goin' over there."

"Why not send Price she does ok with machines or better yet Caboose? Aren't they like, in love or something?"

"Dude, I've had all the cross-species babies that I can take for a while. The last thing I need is a junior Caboose runnin' around with a hundred and thirty millimeter cannon for a head. Your little devil-spawn is enough for me."

"That's just rude man."

"Don't talk about my kid like that."

"What's your deal Tucker?"

"I don't know, I think I'm kinda getting in to this whole parenting thing. I caught myself looking at minivans the other day. Gruuhgh."

"Of course you are. That's why you need a babysitter for a newborn. I'll be sure to nominate you for Dad of the Year."

"Don't judge me."

"Anyway, Doc's gonna figure out what's wrong with her and give her a little tune-up."

"But Doc's not a mechanic, he's a doctor. 'n not a doctor, a medic. I guess he's not really a medic either 'cause he's never really helped anyone. He's just some annoying guy that we know, with purple armour, who's annoying. Point is, Doc's not a mechanic."

"I know. I figure Doc's mechanic skills are probably about as bad as his first aid skills. He's either gonna fix her by accident, or make her completely inoperable, and then I can go down there and figure out what's really goin' on. Either way, I win. Oh, he might also get blown up by her, that's also good."

"How is that a good thing."

Church ignores me and looks at Sheila through the sniper rifle.

"Uhhh, yeah... I don't feel as good about my plan as I used to."

"Hey Blues!" Grif shouts

"Aw crap, here we go. They must have figured out how fucked up our team is right now. Oh shit, they even brought their new guy to"

"Girl."

"What ever! Just play along. Act like our team is okay, and we have everything under control."
