Sir, Colonel Mekum has
his new batch unpacked.
:07:05
l think he wants to show them off.
:07:22
Well....
:07:26
-They're pretty.
-What's so hot about them?
:07:28
They're very much improved, Captain.
:07:31
Colonel Mekum from HQ.
He's their commanding officer.
:07:34
Sir.
:07:39
'"lmproved.'" How?
:07:41
ln every way possible.
:07:43
You see, your old ones,
they're selected at birth.
:07:45
With my new ones,
we're talking recombination.
:07:48
They're practically manufactured,
using DNA profiles...
:07:52
...and some manipulation.
:07:55
More endurance, quicker responses...
:07:57
...better hand-eye...
:07:58
...improved technical training.
:08:00
lt's a whole different standard.
:08:04
My daddy was in maintenance...
:08:06
...and he had a saying:
:08:08
'"lf it ain't broke, don't fix it.'"
:08:11
'"Maintenance.'"
:08:14
l'm afraid l don't get your point.
:08:17
The veterans you see...
:08:19
...standing before you here
have been through all kinds of heavy shit.
:08:22
They've always got the job done.
:08:24
Your new soldiers, these hotshots,
how much action have they seen?
:08:28
And are they battle-tested?
:08:32
How about a few tests,
just to get you on board?
:08:35
Make you a believer.
:08:53
Ninety-nine percent. That's...
:08:56
...very good.
