CARL
A colony has to reach a certain size
before it produces a Brain... we think
300 generations. Woulda too expensive
to launch an operation if there wasn't a
Brain...

Carl sees the way Carmen is looking at him, like he's a bug.

CARL
You don't approve. Well, too bad.
We're in this for the species, boys
and girls. It's simple numbers, they
have more, and everyday I have to
make decisions that send hundreds of
people like you to their deaths.

JOHNNY
Didn't they tell you, Colonel ?
That's what cap troopres are good
for.

Carl allows himself a tiny smile.

CARL
Hope you're ready for more. We're
going back to P to capture that Brain.

JOHNNY
The Roughnecks are always ready, sir.

CARL
I hear they need a new Lieutenant...
Want the job ?

JOHNNY
I'll take it... until I get killed
or you find someone better.

KLAXONS sound. Suddenly, everyone has someplace to go.

CARMEN
Hope you get your Brain Bug, Carl.

CARL
It's good to see you two. It reminds
me of the way things were before...

Carl turns abruptly and heads away. His entourage follows.
