Regret to report Hostile 17 still at large. I've left Beta Team to comb the area but the tracer's--
[interrupting, with faked sorrow] Riley, something's happened. I-I don't know what to say. It-It's about Buffy.
Buffy?
Two of our hostiles broke free and escaped into the tunnels. She went after them on her own. She's dead, Riley.
[utterly shocked] What?
I did everything I could to stop her. I told her to wait for a back-up team. She kept insisting she didn't need any team, she could handle it by herself. I-I'm so, so sorry.
[now into shellshock] I don't understand.
I know what she meant to you.
How could this happen?
She was a very, very special girl. I didn't understand at first, (sighs) but she had something. I don't know, maybe, maybe I could've stopped her. [Behind Walsh, the com-cam image on the monitors starts to move. Buffy appears in its picture] It's hard not to blame myself.
[Not realizing that Riley is suddenly seeing Buffy on the monitors]
[speaking through the monitor] Professor Walsh? That simple little recon you sent me on... wasn't a raccoon. [Walsh slowly faces the monitors] Turns out it was me trapped in the sewers with a faulty weapon and two of your pet demons. If you think that's enough to kill me, you really don't know what a Slayer is. Trust me when I say you're gonna find out.
Riley. Agent Finn, I order you to stop! Agent Finn! Riley!
