Tex:(Voice over) "Okay I'll take the lead. Give me fifteen seconds then follow, sync?"

York: (Voice over)"Sync."

Aur'an: (Voice over)"Sync."

Alpha: (Voice over) "Sync."

Delta: (voice over) "Fire detected. Cover recommended."

Tex: (voice over) "Damn it! Damn! Cover, cover, cover!"

Alpha: (Voice over)"York! Shit!"

Aur'an: (Voice over)"York!"

A battle rifle is heard firing, with a scream of pain from York following.

Alpha: (voice over) "How bad is it, D?"

Delta: (voice over) "York will not survive."

Alpha: (Voice over, Quietly) "Not again...not James..."

Cut to a blast mark in a corner of the fortress.

ABANDONED ISLAND FORTRESS. PRESENT DAY

Cut to Carolina staring at it.

Carolina: "I'm sorry, York. You were like a friend and brother to me....and Alaska...Sorry I didn't listen, guys. I just...I don't understand. Why her? Why Tex?"

Epsilon appears on Carolina's Mongoose which is not far behind her.

Epsilon: "Tex?"

Carolina turns around and notices Epsilon.

Carolina: "You."

Epsilon: "Ah, shit."

Carolina walks over to Epsilon.

Carolina: "Let me guess, just... wanted some information."

Epsilon: "Carolina I don't-"

Carolina: "You don't have a clue, do you? You and your friends just think I'm some blood-thirsty merc with a bad attitude. But you know what? You're wrong. I'm much worse."

Epsilon: "Look, you go and round up everyone I know just to bring me back, and then you keep us all in the dark? What the hell did you think was going to happen, Carolina? Of course no one trusts you!"

Carolina: "Well I don't trust them, Epsilon. I don't trust anyone anymore."

Epsilon: "Oh, why not? Because having friends would ruin the whole "psychotic loner bitch" thing you got going on? 'Cause that would be a real shame."

Carolina: "It's because I had a team once."

Epsilon looks at Carolina, surprised.

Carolina: "A team with the best training, the best equipment, and despite everything that they had that made them the best, they still lied, and stole, and tore each other to pieces! So you tell me: How the hell am I supposed to trust a rag-tag team of idiots when I couldn't even trust the people that were close to me?!"

Epsilon looks away for a brief moment and then vanishes.

Carolina: "That's what I thought."

ANCIENT ALIEN TEMPLES. PRESENT DAY.

Cut back in to Grif, Simmons, and Tucker inside the temple at the desert.

Grif: "I never thought I'd say this, but I can't sleep."
