User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 12/@comment-5746209-20140813170846

What I think really needs to be talked about is what teams will form to search Crash Site Alpha and Bravo. Since the group has only reunited recently and have quite a dire circumstances, I believe Carolina will give some of the armor enhancements she has obtained to each team so they are better equipped. Anyway, here are the teams I think will form and what might happen.

Crash Site Alpha Search Party

 * Members: Grey, Donut, Caboose, Simmons, and Wash with him being this group's leader. Carolina will give Wash and Simmons an AE (maybe an EMP for Wash and holographic projection to Simmons since they have used them before), as the two are the most overall skilled.
 * Why these characters: I can see a lot of touching and funny interactions in this group. For example: Grey begins to psychoanalyze Caboose, but then becomes obsessed with Simmons after discovering he's a cyborg; Simmons could ask Donut for help to talk to girls (since Donut's feminine and he considers Donut as a "sister"), as he wants to be a more confident leader for his team as he plans to return to the New Republic; or Washington showing interest how the rebel BGC members have developed when Caboose tells them of their time in the New Republic.
 * What they find: While they don't find the manifest, this group find a file or code which references the mysterious crate we saw last season (which Wash will remember) and discover Doc living at the site, as he was teleported there after Ready…Aim… After Doc joins them and they prepare to leave with the "code", they are attacked by Locus' scout team, led by Jackson.

Crash Site Bravo Search Party

 * Members: Lopez, Sarge, Grif, Tucker, Epsilon, and Carolina with her being this group's leader. Carolina will give Tucker an AE (possibly active camouflage, since he's used it before).
 * Why these characters: Like the previous team, I can see some touching and funny scenes in this group. For example: Lopez finds C.C./L.2.0's body and insults L.2.0 for his betrayal, but Sarge misunderstands it as him mourning over L.2.0; Grif snaps after Sarge's insults go to far, with Grif stating while he isn't a good leader, he's a far better person than Sarge for risking his own life to save the fed BGC and refusing to have the recruits to join in the mission so they aren't put into danger, which leaves Sarge stunned; or Tucker and Epsilon could argue about weather or not Epsilon sudden dissapearance was right before both reconcile their relationship with Carolina's help.
 * What they find: They do find the manifest (I think Doc even read it in Finders Keepers), but they discover it's already been corrupted by Locus after the battle in Fire. However, the group find a functioal alien space craft (a Phantom) in the cargo bay and use it to escape when they are attacked by Space Pirates as well.
