Drink Your Ovaltine
Sarge decides to contact Valhalla, and learns more than you'd think.
Tropes
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Simmons is forced to make a radio call to Sarge without telling him that they had been kidnapped by Wash and the Meta. Despite this, Sarge manages to work out every single detail instantly. His reasoning? Simmons answered 'hi' instead of 'thank you for calling Red Base, this is Private Simmons', he said the radio was in disrepair, something that Lopez would never let happen, the time was 17:30 (Donut's daily wine and cheese hour) and there was no sound of clinkling glasses. However, his later analyses, though still correct, dive into Bat Deduction territory, like how he noticed he said the weather was 'rainier' and Mt. 'Ranier' is the largest landmass in the state of Washington, and the Meta is the biggest mass associated with Washington.Sarge: So the Meta and Washington have teamed up to kill Donut and Lopez, and now they're holding Simmons and Doc prisoner.
Grif: We have to help 'em! Wait, Doc? How do you know he's there?
Sarge: Please, Grif, it's so obvious. I don't wanna insult your intelligence by explaining every little detail. - Spotting the Thread: Parodied. Sarge is able to figure out that things are amiss in Valhalla due to certain discrepancies in his contact with Simmons. It goes from Awesomeness by Analysis to Bat Deduction as his reasoning becomes more convoluted.
