Agent Alaska: Recollection and Freelancer

Three's a Crowd

FREELANCER TRAINING FACILITY. MANY YEARS AGO...

The Mother Of Invention's Freelancer training room is shown. F.I.L.S.S. is heard in the background.

F.I.L.S.S: "A new challenger has arrived. Today's match-up is agent Texas versus agent Carolina."

Carolina, accompanied by York and Alaska, enters the training room. Tex is seen in the center of the room as a rack with weapons is deployed. Carolina, Alaska and York stop as another weapons rack appears in front of them.

York: "Okay, just pick a piece of equipment you know how to use already."

Carolina begins to arm herself with various items, not listening to York.

Alaska: "And of course...everything."

York: "...or, just grab everything and anything, that works too, I guess."

Alaska lightly nudges York.

Cut to North, South, Maine, Washington, Wyoming and Sigma overlooking the training room from an observatory.

Cut back to Texas, who is arming herself as well, on the training room floor. Omega appears next to her.

Tex: "Hey, I've got this one Omega."

Omega: (growls) "Next time..."

Cut back to Carolina, Alaska and York.

F.I.L.S.S.: "Agent York and Alaska, please clear the floor."

Alaska: "In a second F.I.L.S.S!"

York turns his head to Carolina.

York: "Okay, now at first the voice of the A.I -sorry, A.I.s', it will feel like a tickle, okay? Just focus on that and it will get clear. Trust them. I know that'll be hard, but I promise they'll help."

F.I.L.S.S.: "Agent York and Alaska, clear the floor, please."

York: "In a second F.I.L.S.S!"

FI.L.S.S.: "Clear the floor or enter the match, York and Alaska. Your choice."

Alaska rolls his eyes as he lets out a groan.

Tex's weapon rack retracts as she cracks her neck and fists.

York: "For the record, I would stay to support you, but she's really damn scary."

Carolina glares at York.

York: "Okay, maybe you're both pretty scary. Gotta go. C'mon, 'Laska."

Alaska: "Alright. (To Carolina) Good luck, okay, C?"

She nods silently.

York and Alaska leaves the training room floor as Carolina watches them. After a brief moment, her new A.I's, Eta and Iota, appear next to her. They are identical, albeit one is gold and the other is teal. After sharing a glance, the two A.I.'s merge and disappear.

North: "Anyone wanna bet one of them gets killed?"

Washington: "Are you kidding?! I'm hoping one of us doesn't get killed just by watching!"

Cut back to the training room. Carolina's weapon rack retracts as she and Tex slowly walk towards the center of the room.

F.I.L.S.S.: "Round begins in three, two, one, begin. Good luck, ladies!"

Carolina/Tex: "Thanks. I won't need it."

Tex and Carolina yell as they charge at each other. The Director and Counselor walk into the training room observatory.
