After the recording ended, silence settled in the room. Rex and Cleo didn't speak for several minutes, the weight of what they'd just seen pressing down on them. Cleo quietly summoned several holo-screens, each showing different segments of the field footage they had reviewed.
Rex finally broke the silence. His voice was low and thoughtful as he stared at the image of Soldier 593. "So… how's that young soldier doing now?"
Cleo brought up a new screen, this time displaying a medical report. "According to the official report," she began calmly, "he didn't survive. The stim injections he used... they might have kept him running for a little while longer, but the side effects alone would have left most people bedridden for weeks due to total exhaustion."
She tapped on the screen, highlighting medical data.
