At the facility, Epsilon and Caboose wander around the halls.

F.I.L.S.S: Please watch your step. Director, since you have a new visitor with you today, would you like me to run the tutorial program?

Caboose: Yes, always run that. No seriously you need to run that. No it's, really you need to, you need to turn that-

Epsilon: Yeah, okay, shut up dude. Yes, please run the tutorial program.

Caboose: Oh, thank God.

A chime sounds out throughout the facility and F.I.L.S.S.'s voice echoes.

F.I.L.S.S: Hello, and welcome to the Freelancer Off-site Storage Facility. Project Freelancer is a state of the art scientific endeavour, with one goal in mind: to ensure the security of humanity in a harsh and violent Galaxy. This bunker has been constructed to guarantee the continued operation of our program, in the event of a primary facility loss. This storage area archives all the components of our Freelancer simulation bases. These outposts test our agents in realistic training scenarios.

Caboose: Yeah, we're on the Blue Team!

F.I.L.S.S: I am sorry, I do not recognize that term. Our simulation outposts are categorized into Red, and [entry missing]. Hmm, it seems as though I have a corrupted database. I will correct that when I have more time.

Caboose: Uheh- there's our old stuff! And there's a teleporter! Man, Tucker hates those.

Epsilon: Don't interrupt. Come on. This way.

F.I.L.S.S: When the equipment is not being used, it is stored here until it can be repurposed for- oh. I guess we are moving on.

Epsilon and Caboose come to a door at the end of a hallway.

Caboose: Well, what's this?

F.I.L.S.S: I am sorry, this area is restricted. Only the Director himself may access this entry. I am sure you understand. The nature of our experiments is such that-

Epsilon: Open it.

F.I.L.S.S: Excuse me, Director?

Epsilon: I want you to open it.

F.I.L.S.S: Are you certain Director? You never bring visitors into this-

Epsilon: I said, open it.

F.I.L.S.S: Alright. Unlocking.

The door unlocks and opens.

F.I.L.S.S: Would you like me to archive your ...personal project?

Epsilon: No. Let's see everything.

F.I.L.S.S: If you say so, Director.

Outside the facility, the Reds were looking at where Epsilon and Caboose had entered.

Sarge: Simmons, what's the status report?

Simmons: Gumball McJones and Caboose just went into that door.

Grif: What door? All I see is a wall.

Simmons: It's a secret door?

Sarge: Simmons, what did I tell you about using Dungeons and Dragons references in combat situations?

Simmons: (sigh) Sorry Sir. It's a concealed door.

Sarge: That's better.

Grif: How did they open it?
