Agent Alaska: Recollection and Freelancer

"Free Refills"

Years ago...

There was sounds of flames and rocks hitting each other. Conor felt his conscious come back as he slowly opened his eyes. He backs in a corner scared, but gets curious and looks around. It looked like he was in a cave, and a big one at that. He looks down at himself and sees his left shoulder covered in bandage, no blood whatsoever. The bandage also covered his chest, legs, pretty much almost every part of him. He was confused, scared, and grateful at the same time.

???: "Blargh..." [You're awake.]

Conor looks up and sees a giant alien, he screams as he tries to run but fails as his legs give out on him. He looks at the alien, shaking and closes his eyes, waiting for something to happen.

But nothing happened.

Conor slowly opened his eyes and sees the alien handing him cooked beef. Conor's shaking slowly stopped as he stared at the alien in curiosity.

Alien: "Largh" [Take it. You're starving.]

Conor seemed to know what the alien was asking him and he slowly grabs the food, inspecting it, before completely eating it in seconds.

Conor: "T-thank y-you."

His throat was extremely dry due to dehydration, which the alien seems to noticed. The alien nods and grabs a bucket of water for him. He pours the water in a cup and hands the water to the child. Conor gratefully accepts it as he drank it.

It took a while, but Conor got comfortable with the alien. Conor didn't understand what the alien was saying by language, but he did by body and hand movement.

Conor: (shyly) "I-I'm Conor...what is your name?"

The alien was silent as it think of a way to say his name. He grabs a stick and carves the ground.

Conor: "A-Aur'an?"

The alien nods, and Conor lets a small smile in return.

Conor: "Nice to meet you, Aur'an. I'm Conor."

Fade back to the present, with Caboose. He is talking to the Epsilon unit.

Caboose: "Then there was the time we got a tank. Of course no one knew how to drive it, but then there was a big fight, my team got in trouble. So I talked to the tank. She was really nice, you're really gonna like her. Anyways, the team was in trouble, and I had to use the tank to drive out there to help them. ...Well, help most of them. ...Erm, some of them. ...Okay, let's just say this: I drove the tank, and some people got helped... and some other people didn't get helped. ...Details aren't really important."

Alpha, Tex, and South enters blue base and sees Caboose and Aur'an.

Alpha: "Caboose? Aur'an? What're you doing?"

Caboose: "Oh, me? I'm just telling stories to epsilon. Aur'an's listening as well! And helping me!"

South: "Really? That's lame."

Alpha lightly nudges South, who groans as she walks to her room.

Cut to the Red Base. Sarge is running around, searching through multiple areas of the base for Grif. He ends in front of the Warthog.

Sarge: "Grif! Where the hell are ya? Grif! Grif? Grif! Come on!"

Grif: (from in the base) "I'm in here!"

Sarge: "Where are you? Grif, I need you!"

Grif: "In here, in the base!"

Sarge: "I can't hear you! Get out here!"
