Plot
Inside the Mother of Invention, North Dakota introduces his new AI, Theta, to York, Washington and South. Theta exhibits a child-like, shy personality, so York introduces his AI, Delta, to help Theta with its shyness. The Director arrives, to prepare a test for Theta and North. He reminds Delta that protocol forbids direct interaction between AI programs, to which York apologizes for. The Director then orders Delta to administrate the test. During the test, Theta is able to successfully operate North's Domed Energy Shield armor enhancement to defend against multiple automated turrets, compensating for changes in the situation of the test. With Theta's aid, North is ultimately able to eliminate all of the turrets using his sniper rifle, greatly impressing Washington and York.

Meanwhile at the Wind Power Facility, in present day, the Reds discuss being dragged along with the Blues on the mission, with Simmons explaining his concern for agent Carolina. After Sarge and Grif abruptly leave, Simmons is left alone with Caboose and admits that he misses the period of time when the Reds were fighting only him. Elsewhere, Tucker and Epsilon witness Washington entering a doorway in the facility.
