The Epsilon unit opens up and emits a hologram of Delta.
Caboose: It's you!
Epsilon-Delta: Hello, Caboose. It seems fitting to say that it is good to see you again. Although, technically, that is untrue...
Caboose: Delta! Wait, but Slade has Delta? (gasps) Are you two twins?
Slade: A.I.s can't be copied, Caboose. This has been said before, lad. Though I am just as curious as to why you're appearing as Delta when the real Delta is here.
Epsilon-Delta: Actually, this is not Delta. We simply thought that you would be most comfortable speaking to Delta.
Delta: That is logical.
Epsilon-Delta: Indeed.
South: Wait, time-out? We?
Epsilon-Delta: Yes. Epsilon strongly remembers all the other AI in fragments. When Alpha went insane, Epsilon carried the burden of those memories. We can appear as anyone, in this case, Delta, whom, from your stories, was a trusted source of information for you. Therefore, we felt it best that we take his likeness for this conversation.
Caboose: Oh. That makes sense.
Epsilon-Delta: Yes. We thought you would say that.
Caboose: So you can... appear as anyone?
Epsilon-Delta: Theoretically, yes. Anyone in our memory banks.
Caboose: What about a chair?
Epsilon-Delta: If you felt that was fitting, the holographic technology in this room allows us to project ourselves in any matter. It is surprisingly advanced.
Caboose: How about a giraffe?
South covers Caboose's mouth.
South: Caboose, later.
Rho: Keep going, Delta.
Delta: I am Delta.
Slade: D, log off so we don't get anyone else confused.
Delta: Affirmative.
Delta then disappears.
Epsilon-Delta: We regret that we will not be able to appear to you or communicate with you outside this room, so you must listen carefully. ... Caboose, did you understand what—
Caboose: I'm listening carefully.
Epsilon-Delta: All right. It can be hard to tell. Caboose, we need you to find a way to help us. Washington said that when Epsilon was recovered, that our memories could be used to punish people who tortured Alpha.
Caboose: Okay.
Epsilon-Delta: Washington will not trust us, and our new recent attempts to build a new body are not working.
South: No kidding. There were a LOT of fires.
Epsilon-Delta: We remember. Your friend from Red Team described a location nearby with a strange energy source.
Caboose: Oh, that's where Tucker is.
Epsilon-Delta: We don't have many memories of him.
Caboose: Yeah, I never really liked him so... I leave him out of most of the stories.
Slade: Wait, we're just gonna believe something that Donut said?
