Episode 17: Spiral

For those of you that haven't seen the series and don't know what's going on (that's most of you) Tex and Church and all the teams in blood-gulch are only a memory inside of  a computer program. Church is the memory of alpha (the main computer program in the Free-lancer progarm).
Ahhhhh!!!!! The first time that Church and Tex have had a time to talk. This heartfilled moment is the first time that these 2 lovers have ever connected this way (too bad they're both computer programs in a memory device so it's not a real moment). While Tex is fixing the tank, Church tries to get information from her about her days in trainging and where she came from.
In the Free-lancers story , Maine has just captured the briefcase with the codes for the sarcophogus and York, Maine, and Carolina are leaving in their jeep to the extract point. The security forces have massed their force and are attempting to recapture the stolen briefcase. The forces are split into 2 sections. The jet pack troops and the Pelicans (the flying vehicles) are getting the briefcase. The second section is back up troops in jeepsgoing to reinforce the other men when the brief case is retrieved. The first group drops off their jet pack troops to engage the Free-lancers and recover the briefcase. They have 2 normal jet troops and one sniper. While the troops engage in a mini firefight, the sniper sets up to take out the agents. His first shot goes straight into Maines chest and knocks the big guy out. With the sniper now known about, Carolina takes cover.
Meanwhile Tex takes care of the second group with the help of her motorcycle and her rocket launcher. She is going solo on this mission and is attempting to take the briefcase back to HQ by herself.
With Maine out, Carolina is forced to defend the jeep by herself. The jetpack troops are relentless. They manage to overpower her and take the case. The jets troops and Carolina are flung onto a nearby truck and fight hand to hand (with a few guns) for the case. Maine eventually regains consienceness and manages to get rid of the sniper and joins Carolina in the fight. She kills one but the other trooper uses his pistol and shoots Maine in the throat. He manages to get up and blows the truck up and sends himself and the other troops flying. A trooper grabs the case just as the rest of the forces are coming. He gets on a ship and locks the raod down. Tex and Carolina begin a race to get the case back. Tex uses her motorcycle to take out the ship the troop was in and Carolina uses her speed to chase him down over the roof tops. She eventually catches up to him and knocks the case away from him. She slides down the road and hits a building and is knocked out. When she comes to Tex is standing over the case calling HQ that she aquired it and is heading back. A drop ship comes to pick Carolina up and inside you see the team all beat up and looking like they were just defeated.

Episode 16: Hell's Angel

    The episode starts with the guys back in Blood-gulch arguing about....nothing of real importance (nothing new for them). The Blue team is attempting to get Tex to stay with them so Church can complete his mission for saving Tex. Can Church convince her to stay? With the help of Cabooses argumentative skills (and $100) he convinces her to stay to help the team.
    While Tex and Caboose attempt to repair their tank, Church walks up to try to talk with her alone but Caboose is making it difficult. While Church is trying to get him to leave, Caboose isn't getting the clue. When asked to leave so church can talk alone he questions how he can talk to anyone when your by yourself.
     After Lopez (the robot that was impersonating Simmons) was shot Griff and Simmons are arguing about how the team should've known that the mexican speaking robot was actually an imposter. Griff thinks that because they don't know much about either Simmons or Lopez it was hard to tell the difference between them. Simmons thinks that because Lopez speaks in spanish and Simmons doesn't, they should easily be able to tell the difference between them. This does make sense but of course Griff is too lazy to continue to argue and eventually gives up. When they stop arguing Simmons notices the equipment Lopez was using to measure the seismic activity and continues the research, after acting like a 12 year old saying "It looks like we have a mystery to solve" (quoting Scooby-doo).
    Back at Red base the Red team is up tp their old ways with creating ridicolus missions to save the world. After discovering that the planet is "trying to kill them" they create an "ingenious" plan to stop the planet. The plan to "kick the planet's ass" to stop the earthquakes is being led by Doghnut and Griff.
    In the other story (the free lancers story) the team has just escaped the building that was blown up and are in route to the evac. point. With half the team either wounded or under fire the team is desperately trying to escape with the package. Maine manages to jump on the targets car and kills him and takes the briefcase with the codes for the sarcophagus. Meanwhile Tex was given a motorcycle and a rocket launcher to try to retrieve the package.
