Something Else Entirely
The intel Tucker brought back reveals the remaining Reds and Blues are being held in another base before being moved to the capital. Kimball gives the others one week to put together a team that can pull of a rescue.
Tropes
- Call-Back: Grif tells the Rebels about the time they fought the Meta at the end of Revelation.
- Chew-Out Fake-Out: Felix tells the others in a disappointed tone how Tucker disobeyed orders and took it upon himself to retrieve intel of Federal Army secrets, which got two of his men killed, only to then enthusiastically say how that's a damn good trade and praise him to the others, saying how badass he was. He does make it clear he was very angry at Tucker and wanted to "beat [his] worthless skull into the ground until it was paste" but acknowledges that him taking a risk paid off.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Felix refuses to help the Reds and Blues save their friends for free, and points out that the four of them didn't even want to get involved in the war in the first place and are only sticking around now because their friends were captured and if that hadn't of happened they'd probably still refuse to help, even if it was the "right thing to do". The silence that passes for a moment indicates that Felix is absolutely right.
- "Not So Different" Remark: When Tucker gets on Felix's case about being Only in It for the Money, Felix points out that the Reds and Blues didn't want to get involved in the civil war until they needed help rescuing their friends.Felix: Everyone has their price. I learned that out a long time ago. And you're no exception.
- Practical Currency: The Rebels don't have spare money lying around, so they pay Felix for his services with old broken alien tech, since Chorus turns out to be filled with extraterrestrial artifacts. Felix says he accepts them as payment since he believes someone will be willing to pay a large sum of money for them.
- Sidetracked by the Analogy: Felix declares that breaking in to the compound Wash and the others are being kept would be suicide, while breaking someone out of it would be like "suicide and a bunch of puppies dying". After he says he is speaking from experience, Caboose just continuously asks if the puppies were okay.
