We have no doubt that you are a very...

...very good soldier.

But because of your training...

...we don't think you'll ever be able

to function in a group like this:

A community of families...

...of children...

...where the ability to fight is not

the sole purpose of existence.

You're different from us, Sergeant.

We don't hate you for that.

But we have agreed

that to try to include you...

...would pose an intolerable risk

to the community itself.

We'll give you any tools you need:

Some warm clothing,

some boots, a good knife.

Sergeant, you're our friend.

It's just...

If you need us, you can ask us for help.

Command, we are on course

for Arcadia 234.

- How will you find him?

- He'll have stayed close to the wire.

What'll I tell the council?

We all voted.

We voted wrong.

We were wrong.

We made a mistake.

We're sorry.

It's some kind of landing party.

Hey! Over here!

Stay with me, sir.

All units stand by

for Arcadia 234 security sweep.

Any trespassers will be considered hostile.

Wait! What's going on?

Somebody's landing!

Jimmy Pig spotted a ship!

Two hostiles at 12:00.

Hostiles eliminated.

It's no good.

I've lost too much blood.

Why?

Was it a mistake?

Oh, God, no!

Not Sandra.

Please...

...not Nathan.

Please...

People!

They spotted people!

Two civilians, unarmed.

They killed both of them. They spotted

smoke from some sort of camp.

Jesus Christ! A camp?

Excellent.

This'll be very good experience

for the men.

Let's see how they do.

Civilians need to be protected.

Whoever they are, they don't belong there.

Officially, they're hostiles.

Three-man fire team only.

Prepare to deploy.

Everybody!

Calm down!

Calm down.

I'm going to go out and talk to them.

Those of you with weapons,

prepare to defend us.

God, help us.

Three-man fire team in position.

Crawler to fire team.

Engage.

Report from Crawler 1:

Everything under control.

- Is there resistance?

- Ineffectual.

Three men are going in to clean them out.

Caine's ordered the rest to hold back.

Sounds reckless. Three against 50.

I can tell these men

have no combat experience.

The old ones, the veterans...

...they would've called for support,

just in case.

Speaking of the old ones...

...why don't we have Riley and his crew

put up the monitoring unit?

Atten-hut!

Sir.

Riley?

- Will we be issued weapons, sir?

- No, Riley.

Only soldiers get weapons.

Yes, sir!

You don't even have

to salute anymore, Riley.

Now!

You need any help, partner?

Riley and team deploying monitor unit.

Don't panic!

Up the stairs. Come on.

Will, take him.

Go, go!

Get inside the bedroom!

Come in, Unit 703.

Unit 703, do you copy?
