I was standing off to the side, away from Tucker and his weird comments.

'Hey, listen in on the reds talking. Think they are up to something.' Tau said.

I subtly moved closer to hear, pretending to be bored and staring at nothing.

"Hmm." Sarge said.

"Hey Sarge, what's wrong?" Grif asked.

"I don't like this, Grif." Sarge said.

"What, the vision?" Grif asked.

"It's a waterfall, it's literally impossible to forget! Like girlfriend dick!" Tucker yelled from the distance.

'I am so glad you said listen to the reds... instead of that.' I thought.

'You are welcome.' Tau thought smugly.

"Yeah. I've never been what you'd call a "new age" kinda guy." Sarge said.

'Hey, Sarge, you know nothing about tech.' Tau thought.

'Shh...' I thought.

"You don't say." Grif said.

"But this bowling ball seems to be on a heck of a roll! Pun intended. What with the flying and the laser shooting and all." Sarge said.

"And he can lift stuff without arms. That's pretty cool." Grif said.

"That too. What if there's something to this whole vision thing? We need to call Simmons. Find out if he's seen anything out of the ordinary." Sarge said.

'Uhh.... I don't think it works that way Sarge but, eh, it's probably a good idea to check on those guys.' I thought.

"How? Our long range radio here got destroyed, and we don't have enough signal power in the jeeps to reach him." Grif said.

"I think I have an idea how to fix that." Sarge said, looking at Epsilon. I stayed behind as they moved towards Epsilon and asked him a favor. I followed them with my eyes to the other side of the temple. I followed from a good distance and hid in one of the tunnels to watch and listen.

I smirked as I watched Sarge stick Epsilon's body on the antenna.

"Hey, cut that out!" Epsilon said in annoyance.

"Alright let's try this. You ready antenna ball?" Sarge said as he stood next to the radio.

"I told you not to call me that! And hurry it up. This metal rod isn't exactly in a comfortable place." Epsilon said.

"Hey, do you wanna find out about your vision or don't ya?" Grif said.

'Huh, so that's how they bribed him.' I thought.

'Sounds like it.' Tau thought.

I listened as the static of the radio began to clear.

"Come in Valhalla Outpost Number One. Come in! Red Base, do you read me? Come in! Give me some more power, shotput." Sarge called to Epsilon.

Finally the radio cleared and I could hear Simmons.

"Uh, Sarge? Yeah, hi." Simmons said nervously.

'Is it just me or does he sound fucking terrified.' I thought.

'Running scans of voice changes and, yes, something is up.' Tau said.

"Who is this, identify yourself." Sarge said.

"It's me, Simmons. Sorry Sir." Simmons said slowly.

'Ya, something is definitely up. Listen close, we might get hints.' Tau thought.
