Yes, Captain.

I want to observe these men at close hand.

Well, what about opposition?

It's all deserted.

We're just confirming that.

But say we do encounter activity.

Miners, refugees of some sort?

Well, we won't.

If so, they'll be officially classifiable

as hostiles.

Just by being there?

We don't want paperwork,

and we certainly don't want passengers.

Understood?

You have to watch out for those.

They probably wouldn't kill someone

your size.

But someone smaller, like me...

...or Nathan...

He was bitten once...

...and he almost died.

He was sick for a long time.

That's why he can't speak.

Here.

You try one.

Here.

Everything we own, Sergeant,

everything in the entire village...

...we've had to salvage from out here.

- You're all set, Jimmy.

- Back in a minute.

Whatever looks useful,

if we can get a chain to it...

...we're going to go for it.

You hear that?

That means she's really close.

She's going to blow!

On my way!

Line up!

Come on, Jimmy!

Jimmy, come on!

Come on!

Hurry up! Let's go!

- Mace!

- Give me your hand!

- Too strong!

- Stretch!

Reach, Jimmy!

I can't reach!

Help!

Help!

Pull!

Mace! Help!

Pull!

All right, we got him!

You were almost bacon on that one.

Thank you.

They're dumpers.

They come every 20 or 30 days.

Sergeant, the gun. Please.

Thanks, partner!

Them no-goods would've let me

blow away.

Sergeant Todd...

...what's it like?

What's it like being a soldier?

What do you think about?

You must think about something.

What about feelings, then?

You must feel something.

Fear.

"Fear?"

Fear and discipline.

Now?

Always.

Oh, my God.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Sergeant!

I was going to give this scarf to him

last night, but he disappeared.

It's beautiful, Jimmy.

He'll love it.

Well, he saved my life out there.

I guess Mace told you.

You should give it to him yourself.

He's in the meeting room.

He's doing exercises.

Children...

You're supposed to be doing your lessons.

Scarf!

People are upset about him.

There's going to be a meeting.

He's not fully recovered.

That's what scares people.

He gets stronger every day.

Are you scared of him, Mace?

Yes.

I've never been afraid of anyone before.

Not like this.

I feel he could break me in half

with no real effort and no real...

...feeling.

He is most happy when following orders.

A soldier shows no mercy.

Mercy is weakness.

Weakness is death.

A soldier needs no friend or family.

War is his friend.

The Forces are his family.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

You could have killed him.

No one here has any animosity

towards you, Sergeant.

None of us here is your enemy.

Furthermore, we respect your qualities.
