"I have a question..." Said Zyxo. Who was staring at a training ground full soldiers training.
"Ask anything you want." Said Syther.
"I've noticed that there are more of each type of duplicates except the Salvaged modeled. They appear to be able to make quick decisions on the battlefield and are more skilled than the rest."
Syther looks away, scratching his face with one of his left hands, then said. "Yes, they are very proficient in battle, but not as reliable then the rest."
Zyxo's curiosity peaked. He wondered why Syther said that. "What do you mean? The general who has them said that they are some of the best troops that they could have."
Annoyed, Syther stared intently at the training of the new batch. He was silent for a few minutes before he said anything. Then with a seething voice, "They're failures, tedious to make, harder to control... and question orders as well as disobeys them. They tend to be very passive aggressive when they receive orders they don't like. They are only good soldiers until they get upset. They will intentionally formulate losing strategy and ignore orders just because they consider their leader unfit. Unlike the rest of the copies, they don't come out all looking the same. They are IMPERFECT."
One of the Salvage clones, that had a zero marking on their helmet looked up at Syther. Who was standing above them. Staring intently for a minute. Another trooper saw it as a chance and charged at him with his shield. He turned its right arm and shot the trooper, and taking the trooper out without breaking eye contact with Syther. The zero helmet one then preceded to raise his left hand in front of him and flipped off Syther.
"I think you might have hurt his feelings." Said Zyxo. Turning to Syther with a smile.

Syther who was cool the entire time was now visibly angry. He said trying to remain calm, "It doesn't have feelings. It is a tool." Syther starts to walk away in a semi-fury of rage, but Zyxo stopped him before he got to far.
"A few of the Salvaged types show enhanced strength. There are almost as strong me, able to lift up to ten times their own strength..." Zyxo paused for a moment, looking back at the training that just ended. "There's one in particular that sometimes release electricity."
Syther took a deep breath and responded. "I don't know what you are talking about. Enhanced abilities were still in their beta state before they were abandoned. The soldier proved to be unstable and posed a risk to their allies when enhanced. But one who poses electricity, preposterous! None of them would have that."
"But the Salvaged units are unique in their own way. You've said it yourself, they are 'tedious to produce'."
"Yes, there are many unknown factors and genes in those units, including unstable genes. But what you are saying could be a possibility... But very unlikely because we have never encounter ones that have the abilities you claim to have seen. Anyways, I have another batch to inspect." Syther then turns around and leaves the view dock where Zyxo stayed. Watching the training field being cleaned up.
