Director: Dear Chairman. Sir, while I appreciate your concern, allow me to correct you in one area. I value all our subjects' well being, but I revere above all else our ability to continue as a species; our ability to survive. And no committee, no bureaucrat, will ever convince me otherwise.

Slade and Wash run up to the Reds, collecting themselves after the chase around the valley.
Grif: Hey I have a question, why do we agree to come along on these things if we're just gonna be the decoy the whole time?
Washington: Looks like you have it under control.
Slade: You lot stay here. Wash, watch their arses. I'm gonna go get Church.
Wash: What?! Why do I have to babysit? This isn't the Project!
Slade: (yelling) Yet, ya still complain like ya did back then!

Inside the base, Church looks around, still possessing the guard.
Church: Tex? Tex, are you here? Tex, come on. Tex! Allison?
He hears a gun cock and looks behind him to see the other guard aiming his pistol at him.
Guard 2: Alright, freeze.
Church: Ahw, what?
Guard 2: They told us to be on the lookout for someone acting odd, and you're acting odd. So, hands up.
Church: Hehey, buddy, come on. You don't need to be like all...
Slade comes up behind the guard and grabs him by the collar before throwing him into the wall to the left.
Church: ...knocked out. Thanks Slade.
Slade: Church, what the fuck did we tell you? Get out of that guy.
Church: Uh yeah, one sec-
Church appears next to the guard he was previously inhabiting.
Church: There.
Guard 1: What happened? I feel kinda...
The guard falls over, unconscious.
Slade: What are you bloody doing here?
Church: I had to see Tex's body I uh, ... why am I even explaining? You've seen for yourself already! She's like me!
Slade: Church, you need to stop clinging on to her. Constantly chasing after ghosts isn't going to help you. It's only gonna make the pain worse.
Church: But where is she? She should be here, right? I mean, shouldn't she?
Slade: (sighs) Just go outside and get back in your body, please.
Church: Not until-
Slade: NOW CHURCH!
Church huffs begrudgingly and stomps off angrily. Slade makes sure he's out of sight and opens his hand as Tex appears.
Slade: He misses you.
Tex: Yeah, well, he's just like the Director. Can't seem to let go.
Slade: The arsehole is based off of an arsehole. Even when they broke you all off him, he's still the same loudmouth.
Delta then appears.
