Inside the med-bay, South opens her eyes and sees Theta and Kan standing over her. She groans slightly and sits up.
Kan: Easy, South. You've been out for several hours.
South: Definitely feels like I have.
Theta: Do you feel better?
South pulls the IV tube off her arm and stands up without any hesitation.
South: Pain's finally gone. Where's Cal?
Kan: He left with Agent Texas and Church to find the Director.
South: The Director?! Why didn't you stop him?!
Kan: He ordered me stay and make sure you fully recovered. Now that you have, let us-
The three then begin to hear an alarm as the room blinks red on and off.
F.I.L.S.S.: Alarm. Incoming recovery beacon. Level Zero. Alarm. Incoming recovery beacon.
Theta: Uh oh.
Kan: Come. Let us acquire our weaponry!
In the control room, Caboose is standing in front of F.I.L.S.S..
F.I.L.S.S: Alarm. Incoming recovery beacon. Level Zero. Alarm. Incoming recovery beacon.
Caboose: Oh no!
F.I.L.S.S: Level Zero.
Caboose rushes out of the room.

Near the ice base, Doc drives Wash and the Meta across a snowy field which is perfectly serene except for Epsilon's motionless body.
Washington: There he is. Something doesn't seem right here. Stop the car.
Doc: Stop?
Washington: I don't like this. How did he get hurt, why isn't anyone helping him?
The Meta snarls to Wash.
Washington: You're right, this is a trap. Those walls there, perfect for a sniper. We walk in to where he's hurt and suddenly, we're boxed in, nowhere to go.
Doc: You think the Reds are tryin' to ambush us?
Washington: The Reds? Hahaha! No. This is an actual military tactic. We drilled it all the time in training. No, whoever set this up is a Freelancer.
Doc: Yeah, but if a Freelancer set this up, wouldn't they know that you guys were Freelancers, and that you would recognize this as soon as you saw it?
Washington: What? No, you're overthinking it. That's just-
10 landmines begin to light up in a perfect circle around them.
Washington: Oh, son of a bitch.
Doc: (sigh) Told you so.
The Warthog then explodes.

Back at the other facility, Caboose rushes up to the Reds.
Caboose: Sargeant! Sargeant!
Sarge: What do you want, Blue?
Caboose: I need your help.
