Trouble with the audio sample?

Jersey: I don't know about you guys, but I think we look great in these uniforms.
Kamal: Mine's scratchy.
Jersey: Okay, I mostly meant Jan and me look great.
Kamal: Gee thanks.
Jersey: You, not so much.
Jan: Jersey...
Jersey: Yeah?
Jan: Some people, when they're nervous, they get all quiet.
Jersey: Yeah, I'm not really that type.
Jan: Try.
Kamal: Okay, here comes the perimeter guard. Try not to look guilty.
Guard: Welcome to Chawla Base, badges please.
Jan: Oh, yeah, right... um... (gets badges)
Guard: They let you join up? What are you, 12?
Jan: What are you? 50?

Firewall

Firewall
Trouble with the audio sample?

Guard: Watch that mouth, recruit.
Jersey: Let's everybody ease up. You're doing your job, we're doing ours.
Guard: Okay. But you, learn a little respect.
Durga: (on chatter) Okay, we're about to pass the Chawla ambient chatter firewall. They're going to cut off all transmissions-- (interference)
Jersey: Durga?
Kamal: She's gone.
Jersey: Oh, we'll get her back. Okay Jan, park in the non-uniform lot and let's go!
(parks the car)
Jan: Okay, everybody ready?
Jersey: There's still time to go back to my plan.
Jan: [sigh]

Packet monkeys

Packet monkeys
Trouble with the audio sample?

Jan: So, do we need a specific one, or just any telecom shack?
Jersey/Kamal: (over each other) Well it depends on--
Jan: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Forget I asked. According to Rani's schematic, this should be telecom shack #4. Work your magic geek-boys, I'll be outside.
Jersey: Good, yeah, you keep an eye out.
(Jan exits)
Jan: Keep it down guys, someone's coming.
Soldier: Hey, who goes there? Heh, and what's your chatter addy?
Jan: (smirks) Tech Spec Lee... and that number's classified, buddy.
Soldier: Whatcha doing on my beat? Making sure the servers don't get out?
Jan: Eh, techs at work. Can't be too careful with these packet monkeys.
Soldier: Yeah, what's up with that?
Jan: I don't know. Monkey stuff. Hey, uh, I'm new in Boston. What's worth seeing around here?
Soldier: Well, there's a pretty cool scuba tour of the old subway tunnel. You want a guide? I'd be glad to volunteer.

Encryption augment

Encryption augment
Trouble with the audio sample?

Jersey: Headset, vice plates, alligator clips, optical converter. We've got to crosslink the chatter protocol to the darknet here, and...here.
Kamal: We've gone over this.
Jersey: Still no sign of Durga. Damn it, Kamal. Test the uplink gate.
Kamal: Uplink's fine.
Jersey: Then why is Durga still outside?
Kamal: You tell me. Look, green lights all the way down. Check your ports again.
Jersey: Ports are perfect.
Kamal: Probably something is mincing the input stream. Try opening 100 consecutive data channels.
Jersey: What?
Kamal: Sometimes the UNSC uses a spread spectrum arbitrator as an encryption augment.
Jersey: They what with the what?!
Kamal: Jersey, just do it!

Roomy fast cold

Roomy fast cold
Trouble with the audio sample?

Jersey: Yeah yeah, opening port 42--
Durga: Thank you boys, I'm in, mobile, and copying my primary data structure. (bing) Copy complete.
Jersey: (sings) Go, Team Jersey, go go, Team Jersey!
Kamal: Good grief.
Durga: Man, it's nice in here! Roomy, fast...cold!
Kamal: Not like running a jury-rigged home bandwidth mixer?
Jersey: The navy and I happen to have very different business plans. (sounds outside)
Kamal: What the hell was that? Is Jan signaling something?
Jan: (through the door) Yes! Hurry the hell up before I come in there and kick your butts!
Kamal: Whoa! Good ears.

Building 41

Building 41
Trouble with the audio sample?

Rani: God, y'all are late! I nearly chickened out three times.
Jersey: So, this is it.
Rani: Building 41.
(opening doors)
Kamal: These are like bank vault doors.
Jan: Yeah, for the first commercial bank of Hell! It would take a Scorpion to get through these things.
Durga: According to the base schematics, this door is the only entrance to the lockdown lab.
(door slams)
Kamal: And the only way out, right? Like if there's an alarm, all they have to do is sit on the other side of this door and wait for us to come through?
Jan: Right.
Kamal: So...
Rani: Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
Jersey: (quietly hums) Dun, dun, du-dun, dun da--
Jan: Would you knock that off!
Jersey: So are we officially committing treason yet?
Kamal: Jersey!

Treason

Treason
Trouble with the audio sample?

Private: Excuse me, this entire building including the clean-room observation bay is strictly red badge and up--
Rani: Security sweep! I'm going to have to ask you all to clear the building.
Private: But the standing orders--
Rani: Sorry, orders.
Private: Well, I've got to see some identifi--
Rani: Private! Dorking - if you want to go back to what ever mud-filled life you had on Mamore, you can stay in my face!
Private: Ma'am?
Rani: Do you know what the penalty is for chewing pick-up sticks on duty, private?
Private: Pick-up sticks? I never ch--
Rani: In the barracks, it's only a misdemeanor. But as soon as you walked through the front door of a level 5 security zone, it became treason! Did you know that private?!
Private: Treason?
Rani: They broadcast the injections for treason you know.
Private: Wh-whatever you need, ma'am. Just don't turn me in.
Rani: Thank you. (into PA system) Security sweep! Please clear this wing immediately!

Security sweep

Security sweep
Trouble with the audio sample?

Rani: Leave all work untouched in its current location. I repeat - this is a security sweep.
Jan: Did Durga give you the Mamore thing?
Rani: Didn't you see his tattoo? That cross in the circle, he's a Kelorist. They all come from Mamore.
Jan: And the pick-up sticks?
Rani: You didn't see the stains on his teeth?
Kamal: I like this girl!
Rani: (on intercom) Alright team, let's begin our inspection. [sighs] Okay, we've got to work fast. These security drills usually only last a couple minutes.
Jersey: Wait...
