++END TRANSMISSION++…"Gentlemen, this is the last transmission concerning the Ekar 4 engagement of the E.D.D. Second mechanized platoon, the support tarsals become problematic in prolonged engagement – What are the possible solutions?”
“We understand Sir and presented a solution to DCD (Damage Control Department), they have an alloy which has already been approved for the E.D.D. units, it is a light weight alien alloy, however it has the strength 100 times our current strongest metals, unlike anything seen before! – The field test were beyond our wildest dreams”
“What would be the cost to implement this change?”
“Sir, we estimate that by replacing only the necessary parts with the new metal, we will actually make a profit. Not only will the units be back on active duty in less than 28 days, because the new metal can take greater pressure it will increase the performance of the units in combat thus equaling greater profits”
“Hmmmm less time on the field, more victories equal more profits – Make it so!” turns and begins to walk away, he pauses “Oh and Smith, if this works out I will see to it that you are put in for a bonus!”
