Agent Alaska: Recollection and Freelancer

"Upon Further Review"

Agent Washington walks up to Doc

Washington: "Doc. What did you find in your scan of the Meta?"

Doc: "Umm, it's hard to say. He's added so much non-standard equipment to his armor that I can't really get a good reading on him."

Washington: "I didn't ask you to run an intelligence report on him. I wanted a medical one."

Doc: "His power systems are stressed from trying to maintain it all. Is he missing some component that controls all this-"

Washington: "Physically. Is he fine, physically?"

Doc: "Yeah, I guess."

Washington: "Good. Next time answer the question I ask. I'm watching you two. Give me any trouble and you're dead. Don't believe me? Ask your buddy about his friend Donut."

Doc: (to Simmons) "Hey, he does realize that I'm the one who scanned Donut's dead body, right?"

Simmons: "I think he was just making a point. Hey! I have an idea! Give me your scanner."

Doc: "My scanner? Why? It can't be used as a weapon."

Simmons: "Maybe it can. If I can overload the power-cell, you may be able it will be able to fire an over-charged burst. It could short out the Meta's systems, either that or..."

Doc: "Or what?"

Simmons: "Huh? What? Na na na na, No 'or', just that, forget the 'or'."

Doc: "You were going to say explode, weren't you?"

Simmons: "...Nooooo."

Doc: "Were you thinking explode?"

Simmons: "Just give me the damn scanner."

Washington and the Meta spot Sarge from across the canyon.

Sarge: "Oh, Simmons... Simmons... Where are you? Yoo-hoo."

Washington: "Looks like just one of them."

Meta: (growls)

Washington: "I don't know if he has it. I can't see from this far."

Meta: (growls)

Washington: "No you stay here, guard these two. I'll go out there."

Meta: (growls)

Washington: "If he gives me any trouble, just kill the prisoners and come help me."

Doc: "I hope your friend doesn't give him any trouble."

Simmons: "If its one of my friends, he won't stand a chance."

Meta: (growls)

Cut to the desert

Tucker: "YO! Dudes! Sarge! Alpha! Grif! Where'd you go? Aw, great."

Caboose: "Hey, Tucker"

Tucker: (faces the other way) "Yeah, what's up dude?"

Caboose: "Have you seen Church?"

Tucker : "No, I'm looking for the red guys. Looks like the fixed one of the jeeps and took off"

Caboose: "Oh, well that's not good."

Tucker : "Maybe Church went with them, or maybe they took him, I don't know dude."

Caboose: "Oh, I wouldn't say that. I don't think that would happen."
