Neutral Negative: Heist
Brief Summary Public Viewing
There are a lot of people in power armor on a SPACESHIP. They are talking about breaking into a 110 story building to steal an unknown package and also stealing a briefcase with codes at about the same time. It's a Two Team Heist! Armored folks are all named various states and Wash is the point of view. (For those with keen eyes may notice the ranking board. His name is ranked fifth.) There are a lot of Meaningful Looks from CT as the Director gets cagey about a new recruit and some details on the package.
York also shows up and he broke out of the hospital early.
Then it's off to heist! Wash's team consists of Carolina, the leader, Maine, the heavy, and York, the lockpicker. They get into the building with the emergency stairs, kill whoever they run into, and break into the vault. There is a lot of snarky and Maine and Wash exchange a lot of silently sassing looks because York likes to joke. They find their objective which is a giant metal box. They have to throw Maine out the window to counterbalance the window washer.
And Wash and Carolina dodge giant doors flying at them and fire back without missing a beat except for a giant flame thrower dude whose heavily armored. Wash tried to used an alien gun that bounced and hated it. Carolina throws a tiny purple plane and a giant hammer at the dude. They get to the roof.
Carolina has some problems with the new recruit and there's a transmitter there. Of their location. Carolina and Recruit manage to take out most of the guys with their camos and Wash grabs his gun and back away from the transmitter as the skyscraper is FIRED AT FROM ORBIT. The skyscraper starts collapsing so they have to jump off the skyscraper. Without parachutes. Extraction pilot comes to catch package and some of them. They get fired at by helicopters, one of which Wash fires down after using the falling package as a stabilizer for his feet. He gets on the ship with Recruit.
He hears Carolina and York being caught by Maine with a car and tries to make smalltalk with Recruit. She bails. He gets to Command and is immediately told to go to Florida to save the secondary team. BACK DOWN TO THE CITY. They drop down with a low flyby, with Florida releasing smoke bombs as soon as the ship was clear and Wash bolts for the COPS WHO ARE SHOOTING AT THEIR GUYS. He releases a charge from his equipment and the police cry out as their tech goes dead, blinding them, giving them time to carry their guys out and onto the ship and BE GONE.
They get York and Carolina, only to find out Maine has been shot badly. Caroina tells Florida and Wash to go because they need to care for their injured they already have because, well, they're all a mess. Florida and Wash get dropped in the river near Maine and find him and Recruit who is Texas. They get picked up shortly by 479er and the Director.
Mostly a lot of focusing on keeping Maine from bleeding out and 479er arguing with medical people because they need a civilian hospital for this level of damage. Director is Church. Wash continues to fuss and worry even after they land. He gets told to say it was a test with simulation troopers that went badly. There's brief moments of surgery, mostly watching the heart monitor until a medic comes in to say Maine will live, but he probably won't be able to talk again.
Time skips a bit and York comes in. Carolina wanted to come and couldn't. He used his injury to come and find out for her which is a York thing to do. Wash tells him what's up. They talk briefly, how people keep getting hurt, Wash worries they're going too fast. York says the universe is fast, they're just trying to keep up. They don't have much choice. And Wash agrees after a few moments. They can't lose. They can't lose or everyone loses.
Long Version
All, 2:09 to 3:45, all.
Wash then rides with 479er to drop off the package at Command except when they get there, Wash is getting told to get on Bravo Team's ship right now with Agent Florida for extraction. He's already off and running. They head back down to COPS and flipped over cars and oh my god. What did they even do. Wash is cleared for equipment use. Florida sends off a burst of smoke bombs as they drop down after a low flyby. Florida runs to their people and Wash runs for the cops.
He sets off the EMP and there's an outcry as the police's stuff all SHUT DOWN and then he's running back to help drag people out of the smoke cloud and into the ship farther down the street and get on just as the cops stumble out of the smoke.
On the ship and off to get York and then Carolina and maybe help her with the package. Seen briefly at 6:12. But they get it just as they're picking up Carolina.
....no Maine. And immediately, Carolina and York are worried and APPARENTLY MAINE GOT SHOT BY A SNIPER AND IN THE THROAT. But they already got injured and delay for the package is one thing with that level of injury, but they can't bring them to a possible firefight.
Wash looks at Carolina. Carolina tells the pilot to change course slightly and orders Florida to go with Wash because they're relatively fresh. They get dropped down AGAIN into the water near where Maine got launched off the Highway. They manage to find Maine. And the recruit.
She's calling in her ship as Wash and Florida work to stabilize Maine.
Next bit uses this for reference, but the trailer decidedly does not fit in canon.
479er is there to pick them up and with the Director of all people. They get Maine onto the ship and the Director looks over Maine and tells 479er to head to Angel On My Shoulder because their facilities won't be enough for this level of damage. They're off into space, Wash and Florida working to keep Maine stable. The Director is talking to Texas at the other end of the ship, but too busy to even think about paying attention to that.
They get to Angel on my Shoulder. Civilian medical on loan to UNSC. Director Church uses his authority to get them on the station as quick as possible. He does help with prepping after that. Wash follows after Maine, wanting to help because he's worried.
(No scene of the Director in the hanger or the Counselor or briefcase being handed off. Makes no sense.) The Director does talk to Wash briefly before going into surgery to tell him this was a Simulation Trooper accident. The Sim Troopers got the jump on them. Wash understands, because secret agent bullshit. Director going in because Freelancers have experimental things in them and it's best the expert is in there even if the work relies mostly on the other surgeons.
Wash spends a lot of time pacing, worrying, watching the monitors. Maine never flatlines. Sometimes gets dangerously low, but it's still there and eventually steadies out. That's when a medic approaches him and tells him Maine will live though he may never talk again.
It's a relief and Wash let's himself slump down in his seat. Which is when York shows up to Wash's surprise. York explains Carolina wanted to come, but couldn't get permission. But gosh, York is still recovering form an eye injury and their medbay is awful full. Thought he'd gets checked up there.
It's amusing and very York and Wash passes along what he knows. He knows York will message Carolina. For a while, they sit together. Then York brings up how people keep getting hurt. Wash wonders if they're going too fast. With the missions and the armor and now maybe AI's and York says the universe is too fast. They're just trying to keep up.
Not like they have much choice. Wash sighs and agrees. He knows. They either win or everyone is going to lose.
