Medic: (muffled) He's waking up.
Tucker opens his eyes and sees Doomguy, Felix and a New Republic medic staring at him. Tucker attempts to sit up, but Doomguy stops him.
Felix: Woah woah woah, easy now. You've been knocked out for a while. Just take it easy, there's nothing to worry about. You're safe, Tucker.
Tucker: Ugh...what?
Felix: You took a rock to the back of the head. Good news is, we made it back to base undetected.
Tucker: Back to base?
Felix: Welcome to the New Republic.
Tucker: Slade, Felix, what the fuck is going on...where is everyone?
Felix: Grif, Simmons, and Caboose are up in the main compound.
Tucker: Well what about everyone else? What about Sarge? What about Wash?
Medic: Umm... I'm gonna go.
The medic leaves.
Felix: Thanks, doc.
Tucker: Dude, do not fuck with me right now.
Rho: (appears with his head lowered) We... left them behind, Tucker.
Tucker: What?!
Felix: Look, the Feds were closing in. If we stayed any longer they would have taken you too.
Tucker: No! That's bullshit!
Felix: That's war, Tucker! Not everyone makes it back! You guys put up a good fight. I can see why Kimball wanted you.
Tucker: Who the fuck is Kimball?
???: I am.
Doomguy, Rho, and Tucker see a female Rebel with a blue visor and accents on her armor.
Kimball: Vanessa Kimball, leader of the New Republic. I'm very glad to meet you. I wish it were under better circumstances.
Tucker: Uh, yeah.
Kimball: Your friends are waiting for you up near the mess hall. It's just north of here. Why don't you go catch up? We'll talk later.
Tucker: Yeah.
Doomguy extends his hand to Tucker and the aqua soldier takes it, getting yanked up from the bed. Rho disappears as Tucker and Doomguy exit the medical bay.
Kimball: You're not getting paid the full amount.
Felix: I know.
Kimball: You're lucky you're getting paid at all.
Felix: I know!
Kimball: Are they as good as we hoped?
Felix: I think so. Either that or they're just really lucky.
Kimball: Well they probably don't feel very lucky.

Caboose, Grif, and Simmons are outside the closed mess hall.
Simmons: It's a small rebel army, Grif.
Grif: It's poor customer service!
Simmons: You were eating everything!
Grif: I'm an emotional eater! What can I say?
Doomguy and Tucker approach them.
Caboose: Slade? Tucker?
