Author's Note: For those who don't know, no "Big Brother is watching" was not for Caboose. The phrase was a propaganda slogan for the book 1984 by George Orwell, just for future reference. New chapter for yall hope you enjoy. Also, man am I lazy, just started playing Rainbow Six Siege, not the most productive way to be spending my time. Slowly but surely I'm gonna fix it….or relapse, one of those things.

Catching Up

"Private Donut, we want to debrief you now that your tour at Blood Gulch is over," the Counselor explained.

"Great!" Donut chirps, he then frowns, "Wait… over?"

The counselor continued "I'm just going to ask you some, standard questions to rate your experience, and I will be filling out a form based on your responses. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir," replies Donut.

The counselor nods "Alright, then let's begin. During your employment, you were assigned to the Red Team. Is that correct?"

Donut nods enthusiastically "That's right! You can tell by my lightish-red armor."

The counselor, now confused asks "I'm, a bit confused. By "lightish-red…" do you mean "pink?""

Donut slightly annoyed, shakes his head and replies "No. I mean "lightish-red."" What followed was a brief period of awkward silence.

Finally, the consular speaks "Let's come back to this during the free-form period."

"Okie-doke."

The Counselor moves right ahead "Now, as to your experience in Blood Gulch, would you say it was…" Counselor pauses and the options appear on the screen in front of Donut as he lists them out "Satisfactory, somewhat satisfactory, or, unsatisfactory?"

Donuts hmms "I would say… satisfactory."

Counselor then adds "All right. Now I want you to look at this picture." He then lists out the options, "Would you say it is, A: the new location where you team was assigned; B: the source of a mysterious energy reader; or, C—"

Donut cuts in and simply says "That's just where we landed."

The Consular immediately stops his listing, he curiously asks, "…where you landed. Can you elaborate?"

Donut cheerfully nods, "Yeah. We were diffusing a bomb by this guy "Omega," but then the bomb went off, and it was just this huge explosion that it totally threw us into the future, and we landed there in that place."

The Consular, even more confused now, asks " I'm not sure I understand… The future?"

Donut then explains "Sarge said that since we were surrounded by ice when the bomb went off, and then it was all sand, the Ice Age must've ended, and that would've taken a really long time. So, it must've pushed us into the future." A few long seconds of silence pass as the Consular just stares with his mouth open.

He finally says "…I… don't have a check box for that. So I'm just going to write down "other…""

Donut shrugs and adds "Yeah, "other" works. I like other!"

The Counselor lets out a sigh and says "Well, I suppose there's no reason to ask the rest of our questions. Thank you for a very… enlightening interview."

Flashback Ends

"So, then after that, they transferred me to that new base. I guess we left before we were supposed to do what they wanted us to," Donut finished

Caboose was heavily invested into the story, Carrie on the other hand as just confused. Finally, after a few moments of silence, her mind finally finishes processing the story she was just told.

"Huh?!" she asks.

She then looks over to Caboose who as if on cue, says "That's a pretty crazy story, Donut." I mean, his voice treats it like it's an everyday occurrence but whatever.

"Donut," Carrie breathed, "What does this have to do with Tucker?"

"Oh, I'm getting to that," Donut replies. He then continues "But when I got there, all I found was the distress beacon from Tucker."

"Well, what did it say?" Carrie asks.

"Well," Donut replies "It said to get Church. I think Tucker was captured. There was something there." Donut shivers as he recalls the moment, "Something scary."

"That sounds scary," Caboose murmurs.

Somewhat worried now, Carrie asks "Any idea on what it was?"

Donut shakes his head and says "No." Donut then looks at the Epsilon unit beside him, he comments "Hey, this thing sure makes a racket."

Carrie shrugs, "Yeah, well he tends to do that when we talk to him, we like it but, sorry if that bothers you."

Donut cheerfully replies "No it's fine, I like it too." He then looks back at Epsilon, "So, you've been telling it stories?"

Caboose nods "Yeah, both of them," he motions to Carrie and Epsilon, "Yeah you know, to the best of my memory."

"The best of your memory?" Donut mimicked incredulously. He glances at Carrie who just sheepishly shrugs and her murmurs "I bet those were some pretty weird stories." He then asks "So, what is it?"

Caboose replies as if on queue "Oh, it's a memory component from a bigger A.I. that a bunch of scientists wanted to copy to make more, but they couldn't. So they drove it crazy until it developed this split personality, and then they harvested all the different personalities for their experiments. Yeah." He then turns to Carrie for confirmation.

"Good job!" she whispers and holds up a thumbs up and gives him a reassuring smile.

Donut takes a moment to process the story, "Pretty weird," he muses.

Carrie nods "We're using it, parts of Tex's body and parts of Sheila to make Caboose here a new super best friend. …but it's not going so well. … he kinda lit himself on fire, and by default me aswell, not that I can feel it."

"Where did you get it?" Donut asks.

"Where he got me," Carrie replies.

"Okay?" he murmurs, he then asks "What happened there?"

Caboose cheerfully replies "We were on a big adventure, kind of like your adventure, and then we needed help kind of like you need help, and then we needed some help and we got help from somebody. It was very helpful."

"Was this person Lockett?" Donut asks.

"No….but he was helpful too!" Caboose smiles, "We'll uh…." he glances at the Epsilon capsule, "We'll call him….later."

"Oh," murmurs Donut, "Well….who was the other person, and can he help me too?"

"Oh," scoffs Caboose, "OH?" he then asks releasing Donut's request?

Somewhere with a Prison

A guard walks up to a prison cell and shouts "Washington! Got a call for you."

Wash looks up surprised by this, he asks "Call for me? Who even knows I'm here?"

The guard explains "Tune in on your personal secure channel. They routed it to us," as Washington begins to leave, he continues "You can take it in here if you want."

"Thanks," he lazily replies.

"Three minutes!" the guard reminds.

Slightly confused, Wash stops and asks "What?" he then realizes what he meant, "Oh, yeah, okay." Washington then walks up to the ringing phone and answers it. "This is Agent—um" he pauses as he remembers that he lost his former title, "… this is Washington. Who's there?"

"Agent Washington!" Caboose joyfully cried.

"Oh dear lord!" Wash cried in disbelief, "Caboose?! How did you even find me?"

"You are on my computer screen!" he replies, "I just looked at it!"

" No, I mean… never mind," Was quickly moves on and asks "What's going on, are you okay? I haven't heard anything about you."

"We're doing great Wash," Carrie replies cheerfully.

"I can see that," he snorts, "I see you still have Iota."

"Carrie," she corrects.

"How have you been Agent Washington?" Caboose asks cheerfully.

Wash scoffs and says "All things considered, guess I should be glad to be alive." While they were talking, they all fail to notice Rowe who has walked up behind them and is now leaning against a wall with a somewhat amused look on her face.

Caboose continues on "Yeah… did you get a big medal from beating Project Freelancer?"

Wash laughs and says "Yeah. Sure. I got a bunch more metal in my life now. How about you?"

Caboose shouts excitedly "They gave us shiny new bases! The Reds have their place, and we have our own place! It's kind of cool! I think I'm gonna get a drum set."

"You deserve one Big Brother," Carrie smiles, "specially with all the work you've done."

Wash smiles "…yeah," he then frowns and asks, "Wait. Seriously? You have a new base? Iota-" she shoots him a glare, "Uhh, Carrie, is this true?"

She nods, "For the most part. I mean, they're not brand new, they're the ones in Valhalla. You know, the ones left over from that whole debacle with Project Freelancer."

"They gave you a base," Wash comments, emphasizing "gave."

Caboose incredulously asks " What, you didn't get a new base too?"

Wash deadpans "… No. No, I didn't."

Carrie then offers "Well, if you want, you can always come and stay with us. Oh, and by the way, we need your help. We were wondering if you were available."

Still deadpanned, Wash replies "No, I don't think I am."

"Oh," Carrie mummers, "Well, thanks anyway." Wash then hangs up.

The guard approaches him from behind and says "Alright, Washington. Back in your cell."

Wash turns and says "Guard, I need to see the Commander. Now."

The guard scoffs " Yeah, right. Why the hell would I let you do that?"

Wash replies "Because I think I just found the missing piece to his puzzle."

Meanwhile back at Blue Base

"Agent Washington are you still there?" Caboose asked the black screen.

"That was abrupt of him," Carrie mutters.

"Hello?" Caboose asks. "Hello? Hello? Hello?"

"Caboose," Donut calls out, "I think he hung up."

Caboose didn't seemed convinced, "No I don't think he would do that," he turns to Carrie and asks "Carrie what do you think?"

"Hmmm," Carrie pondered, "He hung up for sure, just kind of wonder if there's something else going on."

A voice from behind asks "What are you three doing?" All of them jump and turn to face Rowe who has been standing there watching them to whole time.

"Doc Rowe!" Donut cries out in surprise.

"We just uh…." Caboose stammers, "We were just uh….staring at the um….black scre-"

"You were talking to Wash weren't you Carrie?" Rowe asks.

Carrie hangs her head and gloomy says "Yes."

Rowe rolls her eyes and places her hands on her hips and like a mother scolding her children "Donut I'll look you over later, to the rest of you, why did you call Wash?"

"We needed his help!" Carrie cried.

"For what?" she asks.

"To help Tucker!" replied Donut.

"Tucker? Fine, why are you calling Wash though?" she asks.

Carrie and Caboose shared a glanced and said, "He was the first person we could think of."

"Whatever," she then continues "Speaking of Wash, I wonder why he's still in prison."

"Prison?" asks Donut.

"Yeah," Rowe nods, "Wash got arrested after our adventure, Locket's been trying for months to try and get him out, but nothing's come up."

"Really? Nothing?" asks Carrie in surprise.

Rowe nods again "Yeah, Locket's been going on about how they wouldn't release Wash without anything to help clear him of his charges."

"Evidence?" Carrie and Caboose asks, slightly nervous now.

"Lockett says that they should have found the memory unit when they picked you guys up," Rowe explains, "but the MPs say they never found the memory un….." she then glances to the right of the two and sees Epsilon and her arms fall to her side and she deadpans. "Caboose? Carrie?"

The two, now shaking, they answer "Yes?"

Rowe continues "Tell me that's not what I think it is?"

Carrie and Caboose share a glance and reply back "It's not what you think it is." She narrows her eyes on them and they visibly gulpo.

She then facepalms and grumbles "I should have know." She let's out a sigh and says "I gotta make a phone call."
