Fade inside of the cave where Lopez is standing in front of Simmons. His armor is maroon with a brown trim. Simmons wakes up, chained to a stone ball.

Simmons: (moans) "Ugh, what happened?"

Lopez: "Hola." [Hello.]

Simmons: "What, am I dead? I see my body, am I in heaven?"

Lopez: "Estoy tomando su lugar en el equipo Rojo." [I am taking your place on Red Team.]

Simmons: (moans) "Ugh, why is my body speaking Spanish? Oh no, did I go to Mexican heaven by mistake? That's like white people hell."

Lopez: "No. Reemplazándote es la única manera de que obtenga acceso al equipo que requiero para estudiar estos terremotos." [No. Replacing you is the only way I can get access to the equipment I need to research these quakes.]

Simmons: "I knew it! You just wanted to become super popular so you take my place!"

Lopez: "No tendría que ser súper popular para hacer eso." [I wouldn't need to be super popular to do that.]

Simmons: "You're gonna regret this Lopez."

Lopez exits the cave leaving Simmons alone inside.

Lopez: "No veo como." [I don't see how.]

Simmons: (yelling) "We'll all regret this!"

Lopez: "¡Eso ni siquiera tuvo sentido!" [That didn't even make sense!]

Cut to Sarge and Grif atop Red base.

Sarge: "I still don't understand, how does more breaks make us more efficient?"

Earthquake briefly occurs.

Grif: "It's simple, if we have less hours to do work, we got more done in less time. It's all ratios."

Lopez:  "... Hola." [Hello.]

Sarge: "Simmons, where in Sam hell have you been?"

Lopez: "Estudio...de cuevas." [Cave... study.]

Grif: "You sound weird."

Sarge: "Yeah, almost like he's speaking a foreign language, but he's speaking very slowly and clearly, so I understand what he means."

Grif: "Me too."

Sarge: "What have you been up to?"

Lopez: "Ya sabes. Las cosas típicas humanas como: orinar, y equivocándose en problemas de matemáticas sin razón alguna." [Oh you know. The usual human things like: urinating and getting math problems wrong for no reason.]

Grif: "Sounds boring."

Sarge: "I didn't understand that one."

Grif: "Me neither, but boring is always a safe bet with Simmons."

Sarge: "Good point."

Lopez: "Por favor discúlpenme.Debo revisar algunos equipos." [Please excuse me. I need to check out some equipment.]

Grif: "Okay. Bye Simmons."

Sarge: "Good luck at whatever you're doing."

Lopez: "Gracias." [Thank you.]

Lopez leaves and goes inside the Red base. Cut to Blue base where Tex and Alpha meets up with Church, Tucker, and Caboose, who are all disoriented.
