Plot
The Reds, Washington, Federal Army and New Republic arrive at the Desert Refueling Station in order to refuel their vehicles. Wash approaches the Reds and updates them on the status of Carolina, Dr. Grey, and the Blues, detailing their discovery of a large jungle temple emitting energy into the sky. Wash then expresses his admiration for the Reds for their decision to fight with the two armies, and recollects on their past experiences together. Seeing through his sentimentality, Grif and Simmons realize that Wash believes they will die on the mission, but Wash denies this. Wash then asks what unit they're in, in which Sarge states that he's volunteered them for the front lines, shocking Grif and Simmons. Wash suggests they look on the bright side but fails to follow up to what the bright side is.

Meanwhile, at the jungle temple, Dr. Grey informs Carolina and the Blues of the temple's rules, after deciphering them. Tucker suggests that he fits the bill of being a true warrior simply because he possesses the sword. The others go along with it and allow Tucker to enter. However, Tucker is quickly forced out after entry and tells the others that he saw multiple illusions of Felix and Locus while on the other side, who all quickly overwhelmed him. As a result, Carolina decides to enter the portal herself.

Upon entry, Carolina immediately loses contact with Epsilon and is soon spoken to by a booming alien voice, who questions her on who she is. Carolina states that she is his true warrior but an illusion of Tex appears and states otherwise, shocking Carolina. Suddenly, the rest of the Freelancers appear behind Carolina, shocking her even more. After Carolina returns from the portal, Epsilon, having only seen static after entering, questons her on what she saw, but Carolina refuses to discuss it. As a result the group decide to send Caboose through, believing his strength and "empty head" may correspond with the instructions.

After Caboose enters the portal he is spoken to by the alien voice, who quickly becomes amazed at the state of Caboose's mind, lacking any fear, self-doubt, or negativity. In addition, the alien voice also expresses his surprise of Caboose's physical strength, stating that his action of increasing the gravity had no affect on the latter. Due to this, the alien reveals himself to Caboose and proclaims him to be a true warrior. Upon exiting the portal Caboose reveals the alien to the others, which he named Santa. Santa greets the group and explains that he is actually an A.I. construct left on Chorus by his Creators to ensure that their relics are passed down to those they deem worthy. While the group is dumbfounded at the fact that the A.I. is named Santa, Santa bows down to the noble warriors.

Trivia

 * The only Freelancer that doesn't appear in Carolina's illusion is Wash, likely because he and Carolina are the only (confirmed) living agents of Project Freelancer.
 * Though, Utah and Georgia don't appear either. Most likely due to them only appearing in deleted scenes.
