Grif is still on top of the Base yelling at his squad.

Sarge: Grif, we're gonna need you to clear that blockage.

Grif: How? These pieces are huge! How am I supposed to lift them?

Sarge: Well, they say people in emotional situations can sometimes get super-human strength.

Grif: Yeah? Well, what about people in situations where they really don't give a fuck? What kind of powers do they get?

Sarge: Grif!

Simmons: If you can't lift it, just try clearing it with a grenade.

Grif: Um, is that safe?

Simmons: None of this is safe. You're gonna start analyzing now?

Kan: Quit acting like a child and do your job!

Sarge: Here, Grif, take one of mine.

Sarge throws a grenade at Grif and misses. The grenade explodes as it falls back down.

Simmons: Sarge, you pulled the pin out.

Sarge: Of course I did. Who throws a grenade with the pin still in it? Hey, Grif, catch this one.

Sarge throws another grenade at Grif and misses.

Grif: No! I'm not catching those.

Sarge: Dammit, I can't reach.

The grenade rolls down the side of the base and explodes very close to Sarge, Simmons, and Kan.

Simmons: Aah! Cut it out!

Kan: I concur.

Grif: Yeah! Let me get back to work up here.

A rocket flies past Grif.

Sarge: Ya catch that one?

Grif: Okay, here we go. (throws grenade) Oh shit! Where do I go when the grenade is...

An enormous explosion throws Grif into the air. Debris rains down on Simmons, Sarge, and Kan.

Simmons: Oh no, he's falling.

Sarge: I see that!

Simmons: Should we try to catch him?

Sarge: Catch him? Hell no. He'll crush us. Kan, you do it.

Kan: Me? By the gods, no! He weighs more than a dropship!

Simmons: What do we do?

Sarge: I got a good idea. Let's act like we're gonna catch him, then we don't. It's a win-win.

Simmons: You used to jump out of ships. Give him some advice!

Sarge: Oh, right. Grif, you should never join that unit! The pay is terrible and the officer is totally disorganized!

Simmons: Advice on how to land!

Sarge: Oh, right. Grif, what you wanna do is...

After an incredible amount of screaming, Grif hits the ground. Regardless, Sarge continues to talk.

Sarge: ...Try to tuck and roll at the last second. That will transfer your momentum to inertia, and invert your ker-splat probability.

Simmons: Hey, Sarge?

Sarge: Yeah?

Simmons: I think he's down already.

Sarge: Oh, right.

Grif: Owwww..........

Sarge: (laughs) Simmons, you are observant!

Kan: Well... that was something to behold.

Caboose sneaks around Tex's ship and pulls a panel off.

Caboose: There you are.

A blue light then starts to shine off from the ship.

Sarge looks at the base, satisfied that it's working again.

Sarge: Hot ham and cheese, the power's back on.

Simmons: Um, I think Grif is broken, Sir.

Sarge: Sad. I always thought I would be the cause of Grif's death. Ah well fuck it.

Simmons: Yeah, fuck it.

Kan: Agreed.

Sarge: Let's call Lopez, and tell him we've got power. Robots love that stuff.

Simmons: And oil.

Sarge: Stop helping me. (turns on radio) Come in Lopez, Señor Lopez, come in. This is Sergeant-

Lopez: [Hello? This is Blood Gulch Canyon, Lopez speaking.]

Sarge: Lopez, it's Sarge. Que paso. Whatcha doin'? ...Lopez?

Lopez: [Uhhh... Sorry I couldn't come to the phone. Please leave me a message and I'll...]

Sarge: Eh, heh heh. Lopez, you old kidder. Cut it out.

Lopez: [...call you back as soon as I am able.]

Sarge: Haha, seriously. Program, disable lying mode voice verification Bravo Niner.

Lopez: [COMMAND ACCEPTED...OK. What do you want?]

Sarge: I need you at the new base on the double.

Lopez: [Why?]

Sarge: We got power. Need your help building something awesome. You busy?

Lopez: [Actually. Not really. I just killed that girl over at Blue Base. So I'm all wrapped up here.We won by the way.]

Sarge: Great! Hey Simmons, we won Blood Gulch.

Simmons: Oh, cool. Suck it Blue.

Sarge: Oh, and tell Grif his sister's dead.

Simmons: Yes sir! Wait, what?

Lopez: [OK. I guess I can be right there.]

Sarge: Great, we'll see you soon. I'll forward you some blueprints of what we've been workin' on.

Grif wakes up and moans.

Grif: (weakly) What happened?

Kan: And yet another one of us has surprisingly defied death again.

Sarge: Grif, you're awake, good. Lopez is coming here, I need you to stay out of the way.

Grif: Uh, can do.

Sarge: Simmons, you check the base, make sure everything is online. Lopez is going to need all the power he can get.

Simmons: On it, sir.

Sarge: Lopez, you get in the base, start workin' on the plans I sent you.

Lopez: (standing right next to Simmons) [Right.]

Simmons: Wow, he got here fast!

Sarge: Oh and uh, Grif, one more thing. You might wanna sit down.

Grif: I can't sit, I think both my kneecaps are shattered.

Sarge: Oh, well in that case, Simmons, you'd better be prepared to catch him. He'll probably faint when I tell him his sister's dead.

Grif: My sister is dead?

Sarge: Oh, you already know! Good. I was worried 'bout how to break the news to you. That could've been awkward.

Grif: No way. Not true.

Sarge: Lopez told us himself.

Grif: Yeah, right.

Simmons: You don't believe it?

Grif: I'll tell you what, you produce a corpse, I'll believe it.

Simmons: Huh?

Grif: Listen, once when we were kids, we went ice skating, and she fell through the ice. She was under there for three hours, and when they pulled her out, not only was she still alive, she was pregnant. If you can explain that to me, I'll believe you when you tell me she's dead.

Kan: You humans have the weirdest blood relatives.

Sarge: Hhhh, I wouldn't even know how to-

Lopez: [Done.]

Sarge: Hot damn, Lopez is done already. Did you finish the-

Lopez: [Yes.]

Sarge: Well what about the-

Lopez: [Yes.]

Sarge: And also the-

Lopez: [I am done. That means I did everything.]

Sarge: Caliente daminito, let's go check it out.

Lopez: [It's over here.]

The Reds then enter an elevator.

Lopez: [Just hit the down button.]

Grif: You installed an elevator?

Lopez: [Of course. Now enter your personalized key code. Put your hand on the scanner. Now turn that crank.]

Sarge: Which one, this one?

Lopez: [No. The third one down. Fifth one over.]

Sarge: Ah, okay.

Grif: How did he build all of this?

Sarge: I told ya, he just needed power tools.

Lopez: [Now push your button when I push mine.]

Sarge: At the same time?

Lopez: [Yes.]

Sarge: You wanna do it like on three or like, three and then go?

Lopez: [Just push it!]

Sarge: Okay.

Lopez: [Here we are.]

They exit the elevator and walk to a large empty room.

Grif: What the fuck?

Simmons: What the hell is all this?

Kan: And why does it have to be so far underground?

Sarge: As you know, I've been working on developing a new version of our Warthog. So I had Lopez here build an underground holographically powered simulation room. This is going to allow us, to test the final concepts of my car design. Now check it.

A blue grid appears on the floor, then a Warthog appears above it, and then the grid disappears.

Grif: Okay. Now that was pretty cool.

Sarge: Thank you.

Simmons: Hey wait a second, so you built an entire chamber, capable of running holographic simulations, rather than just build the car itself? That doesn't seem very efficient to me.

Sarge: Simmons, sometimes you just gotta go for style points. Hoo-ah.

Kan: Simmons, efficiency has never been a quality that gets used on a good basis with this team.

Simmons: (sighs) Yeah, I forget that a lot.
