120 INT STASIS TANK - DAY CYCLE - JOHNNY'S BODY

floats, suspended in fluid, mouth hanging open, his skin white as death.
A low underwater KNOCKING wakes him. He opens his eyes and sees
Ace and Dizzy outside the tank.

Ace holds up a KIA list, pointing at Johnny's name, laughing: Rico, John V - KIA.
Their voices are distant and garbled. Dizzy cups her hands against the side of the
tank.

DIZZY
Two more days.

Johnny's wounds are now mostly scars except for his leg where delicate robotic
arms culture layers of new tissue. Johnny gives a weak thumbs up. The knocking
sound continues.

Johnny turns. A STEEL HAND taps the side of the tank. Johnny grins, astonished.
The man wearing it is his former high school teacher, now a Lieutenant, Jean Rasczak.

121 EXT SPACE - AQZ - A BATTLE GROUP

consisting of STARSHIPS, their tender, FREIGHTERS and other SUPPLY CRAFT.

122 INT TROOP TRANSPORT - M.I. QUARTERS - JOHNNY

stows his gear along with Ace and Dizzy. Acroos the room, a collection of
battle-hardened vets check out the newcomers.

ACE
Dizzy says you two knew this Rasczak
character in Buenos Aires...

JOHNNY
He was our teacher...
He was great.

ACE
Yeah, well, I hear he's a real
nutbuster.

DIZZY
The Roughnecks killed more bugs than
any other outfit in 2nd Brigade...
Only took 15% casualties on Big K.

They size up the Roughnecks. There are scars, power prosthetics, and one,
big SUGAR WATKINS, 26, wears a bug claw on a chain around his neck.
