Remnants and Fallout

[mtjsmith]

Ling had noticed Rhade enter the room as well as a number of other recruits and Junior Lts.

He was in the middle of running a weapons dis-assembly and reassembly drill. Many of the recruits were too slow, so Ling ran the drill again and again to the point where several recruits hands were bleeding with the repetition. Ling saluted to Rhade.

"Sir, many of these muppets can hardly hold a gun - let alone reload it."

He then demonstrated by shouting "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE!" During that time - most of the recruits had finished taking the clip out of their AN-74 rifles, reloading it, and then taking aim. Four of them where still taking extra precious seconds in order to complete this rather basic task.

"Sir, I understand you are here to lead our assault party on the Hispania. I also understand the need for a swift, decisive strike. These four are too slow. I can continue to drill them if you wish, however they have little left in the way of fingers."
