Radio noises are heard as the camera fades from black. Caboose is standing behind Tucker.
Ash: Come in, Blue Command. This is Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha. Do you read me?
Caboose: Okay, that is the last of it. Your armor is clean now!
Tucker: Did you get all the black stuff off?
More radio noise is heard. Cut to Vic sitting at his control panel.
Vic: This is Blue Command. Come in, Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha.
Ash: Hello, Command! We need help!
Vic: Roger that, Blood Gulch. What is your request?
Ash: Not good. We need more men.
Vic: (pauses) Dude, how long have you guys been down there?
Ash: No, no, no, n-not like that! We need more men to help us.
Vic: Roger that. Did you get the tank we sent?
Ash: Yeah, that got blown up too.
Vic: Wow. Sucks to be you.
Ash: (agitated) Yeah thanks Sherlock!
Vic: Okay okay calm down! Look here's what I can do. The nearest Blue forces can be there in 16 days, or I-
Tucker: 16 days!? That's almost 2 weeks!
Vic: OR I can hire a nearby Freelancer and get him there within a few hours.
Caboose: I like the "in an hour" one.
Tucker: Yeah, me too.
Ash: (To Tucker and Caboose) Ditto. (To Vic) Roger that, Command. We prefer the Freelancer.
Vic: 10-4, Blood Gulch. We'll contact Freelancer Tex and have them there post-haste. Command out.
The radio cuts off.
Tucker: Whoever he is, make sure he can fix a tank.
Ash: Oh and I can't?
Caboose: What's a Freelancer?
Ash: Freelancers are independent. They're not Red or Blue. They're just guns for hire who'll fight for whoever has the most money.
Caboose: Like a mercenary.
Tucker: Right. Or like your mom when the rent's due.
Ash shoots a glare at Tucker but he ignores it.
Caboose: ...Oh, that's funny.
Tucker: Yeah? You didn't think that was too obvious?
Caboose: No, no, not at all. It- It was good.
A semi-transparent Church fades into view between Tucker, Ash, and Caboose.
???: (ghostly voice) Ash... Ash...
Ash raises his gun.
Ash: Who the hell are you!?
???: I am the ghost of Church, and I've come back with a warning!
Caboose: You're not Church! Church is blue. You're white!
Church: (normal voice) Rookie, shut up, man! I'm a freakin' ghost! Have you ever seen a blue ghost before?
