Sit-reps.

After leaving Cover-Girl in post-op, the other two Joe women returned to the intel room, and Scarlett knocks. "Password." Stalker says from inside.
"Simon says; throw 391 nickels on a Pogo Ball." She says, and the door opens.
"Any new snake speak?" Lady-Jaye asks him as he heads back to the computer.
"Just more about being unrelated to the Challenger disaster." He says.
"No indication they know about our missing guys?" She asks next as she picks up some papers on the table.
"From what Breaker mentioned, they don't even know you and the rest are back yet." He replies.
"Too busy with us taking Renault, and that base of theirs?" Scarlett asked, and he nods.
"How about that "monocle man" Duke told us about?" She asks again as she leans over his left shoulder.
"Just that he's European; MI6 says he's German, but not sure which half." He replies, then the two jump in surprise when a rock falls behind his right from above.
"Holy sh-Beachhead!"
"What are you doing up there?!"
"An' yer dead, y'all should 'ave been watchin' yer backsides." Beachhead says, as he lowers a rope and slides down.
"This is a restricted area, dammit!" Stalker shouts to him as he places him in an arm bar.
"Yuh think eneh snake's gunna give a shit 'bout dat?" Beachhead scoffed as he struggled. "Now, turn me loose, dats an order."
"We change the password every twelve hours, Beachhead." Lady-Jaye says as she folds her arms.
"Dat's awl yah gat?" He asks, then they hear a knock. "Paz'werd!" Beachhead says, and the three glare at him.
"Simon says med check." They hear from Simmons. "Med team's exempt from the cycling, for obvious reasons." She says to Beachhead as Scarlett lets her in. "And you should be back doing your physical therapy."
"Ah don't need no damn therapy!" He shouts as she and another medic escort him out.
"How far along is he now?" Lady-Jaye asks, and Simmons stops to say he's about 88% healed.
"Hear dat; jes' half a year buhfore ahm runnin' dis place!" Beachhead says to all of them.
"Yay." The three of them say in a deadpan tone before Scarlett goes to shut and lock the door.
