The metro cop and the Combine soldier are hanging out near the steps of the City 17 train station plaza. The cop is leaning next to a pillar while the Combine soldier is lying on the ground looking bored. A Combine scanner then flies past them, prompting the soldier to suddenly jump up and ask what that was.

The cop asks the soldier what was what. The soldier points at the scanner and repeats that. Unimpressed, the cop tells him that's just a scanner and that they use it for surveillance in the city. The soldier mumbles that he wants one. The cop asks what he said, but the soldier replies nothing.

The cop looks away and says good, then that break time is over. As he starts to explain what they need to do, he looks to the side and realizes the soldier is gone, to which he says crap. Nearby, the scanner is calmly flying while the soldier jumps beneath it, trying to catch it.

The soldier keeps hopping after the scanner trying to grab it, not noticing a citizen walking by and dropping a can of Doctor Breen's private reserve water on the ground. As the soldier threatens the scanner to get down there, he slips on the can and falls back onto the ground.

The soldier lies on the ground, his legs bent in unnatural shapes. The scanner flies away calmly. Later, the scanner is flying around the plaza center while the soldier stalks it from behind a pillar. As he watches it hover around, the soldier tries to figure out a way to get it.

The Combine soldier pssts to a nearby female citizen to get her attention. She turns around and asks if he means her with a scared look on her face. The soldier tells her yes, then orders her to get on her hands and knees real quick. The citizen asks why and if she did something wrong. The soldier points at her and tells her to just do it or he'll beat her. She says okay, okay, geez, and calls him a jerk under her breath as she gets on all fours.

The Combine soldier suddenly rushes forward with a scream and uses the citizen on the ground to jump. The soldier flies through the air towards the scanner, which simply moves a few inches forward to avoid him.

The soldier crashes on the ground on top of another citizen, then exclaims drat. Later, the scanner is flying around when it notices something that calls its attention.

The scanner notices a wooden sign nearby that says nude robots and has an arrow pointing towards an alley. It goes to check, but finds nothing there. Suddenly, the soldier leaps from a railway above and falls on the scanner, screaming gotcha. The scanner then starts flying up, to which the soldier says oh, no.

The soldier starts repeating no, no, no as the scanner flies ever upward with him on top of it. They fly off frame for a moment, then the soldier falls down with a scream. Later, the soldier is sitting on the plaza steps looking annoyed.

The scanner approaches the Combine soldier, who tells it to go away. It looks sad for a moment, then nudges him in the arm, to which he protests.

The soldier and the scanner stare at each other for a moment. Cut to the soldier flying triumphantly through the air on top of the scanner, screaming yee-haw. They fly off frame, then the soldier falls back down again. End.
