Alien temple ambush was a bad idea.

"Just finish them," said the growly one. "Don't make a spectacle of it."

"I'd say I was sorry about this, Tucker, but you've been a pain in my ass."

"Did you try special cream?" asked Caboose. "Donut could give you some!"

"That's it. Locus! I'm doing the stupid one first."

Wash made another broken-jaw noise and Mister Sergeant yelled and the end of the rifle barrel was too close and—

"You need a key to get in!" shouted Tucker.

The rifle lowered.

"He's stalling," said Locus.

Felix slowly shook his head.

Tucker nodded to the pile of their weapons, probably because the sword was the key. Memory was also the key. Also prox-mity.

"Come on, Felix," Tucker drawled like he was talking to a lady. "You know what I want."

Felix picked up Tucker's sword. "It doesn't work."

"Not for you."

Locus looked at Wash and Caboose and Mister Sergeant. "One," he said.

Then he wasn't tied up.

"Tucker?"

"It's okay, Caboose. Just run."

Run and get help was a good idea. He was running fast.

He kept running.
