Nearby Red Base, South is crouching, sneaks out then sneaks back inside.
South: Okay, here's the plan. We run straight for Blue Base. Keep your heads up, and stay in formation. Lopez, you take the lead.
Lopez: [Why do I have to be in front?]
Simmons: Exactly. We'll follow you, Lopez.
Donut: I'll handle your rears!
South: Okay! Change of plans. I'll be last. Simmons, you go out in front.
Simmons: What?! Why me?
The four exit from the base.
South: Because I fucking said so! Lopez, you get behind me.
Lopez: [Right.]
Simmons: Donut, you be in the middle.
Donut: It'll be a Donut Sandwich! Mm-mm!
Simmons: Dammit, Donut! You can ruin anything!
They head a different direction and cut through the river, pausing once they reach the other side.
Simmons: Do you see anything?
Lopez: [If I saw something, I would be shooting, dumbass.]
South: Just keep your eyes open.
The four head towards the tree-filled region.
Lopez: [Why do you guys always ask me questions if you never understand the answers? South may not understand me, but at least she doesn't pretend to.]
Simmons: Geez, quiet, Lopez! God, we've been over this!
Lopez: [Goddamn it.]
South: Both of you! Shut the fuck up!
Donut: Simmons! I'm scared!
Simmons: It's okay. We're all scared, Donut.
Lopez: [I'm not scared. I made back-ups of myself this morning.]

Back at the temple, Caboose, Tucker, and Slade take off after Epsilon while Sarge, Grif, and Kan watch them run off.
Caboose: Church, wait.
Sarge: I knew it. This was a trap!
Grif: What's a trap?
Kan: (sighs) This should be interesting....
Sarge: Don't you see, Grif? The Blues now have an advantage over us!
Grif: What, you mean they have a decent leader?
Sarge: No! I mean, they have three people! They've got almost their whole squad together to take us all down!
Grif: You honestly believe that the Blues orchestrated all of this just to get their entire team back together?
Sarge: Of course. They've been leading us along this entire time! It was all a diabolical scheme to get the drop on us! We just didn't see it until now, because it was so cunningly crafted.
Grif: We're talking about the same Blues here, right? There's not some, other group of Blues that I haven't heard of?
Sarge: Of course not!
