[Kid spills cart of ammo boxes]
What the shit is going on over here?!
Kid
An accident, sir! I didn’t see… I’m sorry!
Mifune
Who the hell are you?!
Kid
I’m here to volunteer, sir.
Mifune
What’s a pod-born pencil-neck like you doin’ volunteering for my corps?!
Kid
I wanna do my part, sir! We gotta hold the dock!
Mifune
How old are you, kid?!
Kid
Eighteen.
Mifune
Shoulda said sixteen, I mighta believed that!
Kid
Okay, I’m sixteen.
Mifune
Minimal age for the corps is eighteen; sixteen’s too young!
Kid
The machines don’t care how old I am! They’ll kill me just the same!
Mifune
Ain’t that the goddamned truth!
Kid
Give me a chance, sir! I won’t let you down!
Mifune
You do… you’ll find me and the machines have something in common.
