The day started out pretty 'normal'. Wash woke everyone up, who wasn't already up. Carolina threatened everyone with pushups. Ashley made a decent breakfast out of what they had, which wasn't much. Doc made sure everyone was feeling okay before going to babysit all of the kids. Caboose talked about everything that stuck in his mind for more than 2 seconds. Tucker said 'Bow Chica Bow Wow' every time he felt it necessary, which was way to often for everyone else. Church and the other AI's popped in whenever they felt like commenting or just hanging out. Sister was god knows where. The Reds were doing who knows what very loudly at their base. Yes, it started out very 'normal'. But that doesn't mean the rest of the day was 'normal'.
"Agent Washingtub!" Caboose yelled, running to the ex-freelancer.
Wash sighed. "What is it Caboose?"
"I found people who don't look like us." He said excitedly, pointing at the cliffs.
"You mean the Reds?" Wash did not want to have this talk... Again.
"Not Reds! They were purple and brown!"
"You mean Doc and Lopez?"
"No!"
"Wash!" Ashley yelled. She ran up to him in her regulation blue armor with pink stripes. "You," huff, "need to see this." She held out her tablet to him. On the screen there were dots, color coded, showing where everyone was, that was listed. At first Wash didn't notice anything that was out of the 'ordinary', until he noticed the two dots in the cliff line, one was purple with a green stripe through the middle and the other was a tan dot.
"Is that? No. There's no way." Wash turned to Ashley. "Is this for real?"
She shrugged. "Unless someone stole their armor, it's them."
Wash was about to scream that this was bull shit and break her tablet until Caboose brought him back to the present.
"I don't get it."
She smiled in her helmet. "It means that we might be getting more friends."
"I'd like that."
