Fade in to the Mother of Invention, in Freelancer-land

Alpha:    Okay, well, I just ran everything again, all calculations are up to date, taking into account standard delays for communication and response time. Our window looks good.

Director:    I agree.

Alpha:    Well you should - I'm sure you'd make the same calculations I did, just, you know, more slowly.

Director:    Arrogance is a rather unbecoming trait, Alpha.

Alpha:     Are, you seriously giving me a lecture on arrogance right now? Pbbt. Heads up you got a visitor.

Carolina:    Director?

Director:    Log off.

Alpha:    Yeah yeah, way ahead of you bud.

Director:    Yes, Agent Carolina.

Carolina:    The team is ready Sir.

Director:    Excellent. Let us begin.

The Director and Carolina walk to a hologram-displaying table where the other Freelancers are waiting for them

Director:    Agents, your mission today is by far the most important you have undertaken to date. As our temporary number one because Grim is out of commission for the time being. Carolina will be leading from the field.

As Carolina talks, the holo emitter shows things in support of what she's saying, and some relevant scenes are overlaid over her voice in the video

Carolina:    Okay, here's what we have. As you may have heard, there is suspected insurrection activity in this area. Our intel says that members of the UNSC loyal to the insurrection have acquired a high level asset, and are holding it in this secure location. It's a hundred and ten storey building in the middle of an urban environment.

Wyoming:    What does security look like?

Carolina:    They have enough troops to fill a hundred and ten storey building.

Wyoming:    So... that's a lot of security.

Carolina:    We're up to it. Our job is to infiltrate the building, work our way up to the floor where the Sarcophagus is being held, and secure it.

North:    The Sarcophagus.

Director:    That is what we are calling the primary objective.

Carolina:    But since this is a high level asset we need to access a key code to open the Sarcophagus.

Wyoming:    I'm guessing they don't keep that just taped to the side.

Carolina:    It's held by an official of the program who will be moving in a vehicle along the freeway between inspections. That's when we'll hit the facility. We need to acquire both targets within minutes of each other. If we fail that, the remaining target will enter lockdown and we miss our window.

Director:    We will not have another chance at this.

Wyoming:    So that means two teams.

Carolina:    Two teams. Team A will consist of me, Wash and Maine. We will work infiltration on the package's storage facility. Grim is still in the infirmary so Wash, you will have to pull the heavyweight.

Washington:    Uhm... okay. Guess I'll need new gear.

The door slides open and someone walks in, but he is covered by darkness

???:    Hey, Don't just go and give my fucking job away.

Washington:    Grim?

Carolina:    I thought you were in the hospital?
