Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars Page #6

---

RICO:

Dutch!

F***.

BABA:
Oh, Dutch.

The Bugs really

did have his number.

[SCREECHING IN DISTANCE]

What the hell?

[GASPS]

ONE-OH-ONE:

Don't look good, Lieutenant.

Yeah, Colonel,

we're so screwed.

Fall back to the tower.

And then what?

Kill them all. What else?

That's right.

We're Mobile Infantry.

We don't give up.

F*** you!

Colonel, we got Bugs

in the house.

ONE-OH-ONE:

Bugs, man.

No matter where you go,

there's always

freaking Bugs, man.

[BUGS SCREECHING]

ONE-OH-ONE:

Reload.

RICO:

Look out.

[GRUNTS]

[GASPING]

CAMACHO:

Come on.

This way!

This place

is going to blow.

Let's go, troopers!

RICO:

We're not dead yet.

Go, go, go, go, go!

[BUGS CONTINUE SCREECHING]

[]

How high

we gonna go?

RICO:

Higher than the Bugs.

Oh, man.

They're everywhere, man.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, my God.

There's so many Bugs.

Are we gonna

make it out of here?

Who knows? I'm not ready

to give up yet. Are you?

What are you, some kind of hero?

BABA:
Yeah.

Because a hero

always makes it back home.

I like that, Lieutenant.

If we live through this,

I might get it tattooed

on my ass.

Maybe I'll let you fight

in my Mobile Infantry after all.

CAMACHO:

Awesome.

CARMEN [OVER COMM]:

Sounds like you guys are

having fun down there.

RICO:
Is that you, Carmen?

CARMEN:
Yeah.

RICO:
Where are you?

I'm heading in now.

But you're

making things difficult

with this weather system.

CARMEN:

No one can fly

in this mess.

RICO:

Except for you, Carmen.

You can fly through anything.

ONE-OH-ONE:

They're gaining on us.

Shake 'em off.

RICO:

Move out.

RICO:

Carmen, over here.

CARMEN [OVER COMM]:

Yeah, only there is one thing.

What?

What's the problem?

Nowhere to touch down.

With these winds,

I'm barely staying afloat.

[CARMEN GRUNTS]

RICO:

You all right?

Barely.

Uh, colonel?

What?

I'm thinking

we got two minutes.

Maybe less.

CAMACHO:
Colonel.

RICO:
Now what?

CAMACHO:

Over there.

On the other side of the tower.

They're piling up

the wall.

Roger that, Camacho.

You hear that, Carmen?

No time.

Open the hatch and hover.

What's the plan?

Just open the hatch.

Just a simple question.

Come on, you apes.

Jump for it.

ALL:

Hoo-ah!

I can't, sir.

What do you mean,

you can't?

You wanna die here?

One, you go.

Ladies first.

Somebody jump!

[YELLING]

That idiot.

Come on.

Thanks.

Here goes.

I got you.

[CHUCKLES]

On the bounce, Lieutenant.

Move it or lose it.

[THRUSTERS SPUTTER]

I'm all out

of jump juice, Colonel.

You go on without me.

Not gonna happen,

Lieutenant.

You're going home,

and that's an order.

Bring her down.

You got it.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[]

Camacho!

Good job, trooper.

I got you.

[ALL GRUNT]

Let's get off

this rock.

Hold on tight,

troopers.

[GRUNTS]

Any moment now.

[]

Oh, hey, guys.

Carl? What are you

doing here?

It's great to see you too.

Doesn't that chair belong

to the sky marshal?

She's taking

a couple of personal days.

I'm just keeping things moving

until she gets back.

I'd never dream

of being sky marshal.

So Amy Snapp's just gonna

get away with it?

That's politics,

Johnny boy.

Did you know there were Bugs

on Mars too, Carl?

Hmph.

And you just let it happen?

Carmen.

How could you even think

such a thing?

Very funny.

But this is the war

we can never stop fighting.

The Bugs will never quit.

And if we do,

we're dead.

For a few thousand years,

we humans enjoyed

the relative peace

of fighting amongst ourselves.

And then we reached

for the stars.

I mean,

what did we think

would happen?

Well, thinking's your job,

Carl.

I'm the guy

who follows orders.

I like that.

Now, go take back Mars

from the Bugs,

will you, General Rico?

Yes, sir.

[SCOFFS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

What?

It's always good

to see you, Carl.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[]

There was a massive fire

around us.

It looked like

it was gonna get bad.

Officer on deck.

At ease.

You troopers got

something special.

Something

everyone wants.

You lived to tell the tale.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

[]

Congratulations,

troopers.

You are born again hard

and I am proud

to serve with you

in the Mobile Infantry.

ALL:

Yeah!

All right!

We're gonna go

have a beer, sir.

Toast Mars, you know?

Wanna come?

Thanks.

I gotta hit the sack.

That's why they call him

the "old man," heh.

[ALL LAUGH]

ONE-OH-ONE:
Yeah.

Lieutenant,

can I have a word with you?

Yes, sir.

I wonder what you'd do

if you found out

that Sky Marshal Snapp

let the Bugs start

a colony on Mars

so she'd have

an excuse to blow it up.

Is that what

you're telling me, sir?

I'm saying

everyone's got a right

to fight

for what's theirs,

maybe most especially

Martians.

From one Martian to another,

good work, Lieutenant.

Tomorrow,

we kill them all again.

See you on the bounce.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Uh... Bounce good, sir.

Roger that,

Lieutenant.

What did Snapp know,

and when did she know it?

[PATRIOTIC FLOURISH PLAYS]

MALE REPORTER:

Anti-Federal activist MarzCo

is asking a musical question

that's on everyone's lips.

Federal opinion polls show

Sky Marshal Snapp's

approval ratings

are in question.

No one doubts her genius,

but can she lead?

Would you like to--?

We'll leave it to MarzCo.

MAN:

What did Snapp know

And when did she know it?

What the f*** did Snapp know

And when did she know it?

BABA:

Officer on deck.

RICO:

Today, you're going to locate

a medium-sized Bug colony...

and kill them all!

ALL:

Yeah!

Come on, you apes.

You wanna live forever?

ALL:

Hoo-ah!
