Starship Troopers: Invasion Page #3

No. That's why it counts.

Goddamn you, Carl.

- Where'd you learn that haymaker?

- Dance class.

Sh*t! I knew it!

I just felt it!

We aren't gonna see Terra

any time soon.

- You pessimist.

- Specialist, actually.

Well, almost.

Five points short on the ESP test.

If one more jack had been a diamond,

I wouldn't be here with you dumbasses.

You son of a b*tch.

That's how you always know

when I'm in the shower.

So, can you tell

what I'm thinking now?

Hell, even I know

what you're thinking now.

You make me sick.

What's up, Lieutenant Daugherty?

I thought you were in medical.

Wasn't as bad as it looked.

Glad you two could make it.

At ease.

I wanted to brief you all personally.

First and foremost,

because I know of the great sacrifices

that both the crew of the Alesia

as well as the defenders of

Fort Casey have made

and the great losses

that you've suffered. And second,

I know you could all use

some R&R about now.

Believe me, I've been there myself.

But unfortunately we have a situation.

- What?

- Stow it!

The John A. Warden has gone silent.

The Alesia is the only starship

in the area of last contact.

I've ordered your captain to divert course,

find the Warden and investigate.

Any questions?

Yeah. I think I speak for everyone

from Fort Casey when I say this...

- Shut the f*** up!

- It's okay. Go on.

We're only going in

if Hero takes point.

- Hero?

- Major Henry Varro.

Commander of Fort Casey,

General Rico.

Right.

Arrested by Doctor Carl Jenkins for

insubordination at the battle of Fort Casey.

Fine. If Major Varro chooses to

participate in this mission,

the Mobile Infantry

will accept his service.

However, this will not in any way

be prejudicial to his trial.

- Is that understood?

- Understood, sir.

We'll probably lose communications

as you cross the nebula.

Godspeed, Alesia.

Dismissed.

Assemble in the staging area.

A word, Captain Ibanez.

Why did you let him take my ship?

Carmen, it's not your ship.

It belongs to the Terran Federation.

General Rico, perhaps you recall,

there was a certain young trooper

who was with me

when the Rodger Young went down.

I vowed that would never happen

to a ship under my command.

This is not my choice.

I mean, look.

I don't care what you thought

about Carl back when we knew him

and I don't care

what you think about him now.

He's Minister of Paranormal Warfare

and High Command has authorized him

to use the John A. Warden.

Look, Carmen...

This is a mission that's so classified,

I don't even know what the hell is really...

And look how well it's going.

You know the John A. Warden

like the back of your hand.

I need you to go aboard
