[ Ohhh, the Sim Troopers. Officially his other point of interest in this whole ordeal. From the moment he heard mention of a Freelancer causing problems, Wash has been wondering if Carolina still had the band of morons with her. This prompt from the merc serves as confirmation that she does. And that they're still causing as much trouble as ever. ]
Let me guess, you underestimated them because they're idiots, but they still managed to do damage. They've only made things more problematic for you.
[ Underestimating the Reds and Blues is a mistake he made, as well. They did nothing but annoy him, drag their feet, and cause problems the entire time he worked with them, but as soon as he turned against them and was sure getting Epsilon from them would prove to be simple... Well. It hadn't been. They'd managed to evade him at every turn. He still doesn't understand how the hell they managed it, but he recognizes them as a proper threat now. When they're together, at least. ]
They're the reason I'm here. So yeah, we have a history. Wouldn't call it a good one.
[ First they hadn't handed in Epsilon like he'd told them to. While him winding up in prison is more or less his own fault, with some help from simply being part of Project Freelancer, not destroying Epsilon had been an important part of the plan. One to prove the Director's guilt once and for all. And one that, possibly, would have kept him out of prison if it had actually been turned in as he'd directed.
Then... They'd left him in the snow, as good as dead, after everything that had happened with Tex and the Meta. Again, they'd turned their backs on him and ruined his plan. Epsilon had ended up in the capture unit, but it had shut down, rendering it utterly useless. Not what the Chairman had wanted--an AI that he couldn't get answers or proof from. Again, he found himself in prison at least partially under their fault.
He's got a history with the Simulation Troopers, all right. And if they're here? Wash fully intends on giving them some payback. It's clear in his tone that his feelings in regard to them are aggressive, even as he keeps his voice level. He has no intention of filling anyone in on the whole story, or just how deeply betrayed he feels at their hands, but it's a challenge to not let some of the emotion seep into his voice. He has, after all, been stuck in a cell to dwell on it all this whole time. ]
