-After several more minutes of this, the footage fast-forwards again-
-Oliver is now carrying a drum-fed shotgun and standing in the sickbay from before-
-A different soldier enters the room
, and Oliver, bloodlusted, snapfires at him with the shotgun, missing him by a hair's width as the soldier shouts out and ducks back around the corner-
-As Oliver stares, you can hear them talking-
...jesus christ, he nearly shot me! Who the fuck is that?
I think it's one of the reservists! Hospital staff!
What the hell's he shooting at us for? We're friendly!
I'll toss an Arc Grenade!
You sure that's a smart idea, throwing that into a sickbay?
If I get it in just right he'll be the only one stunned! It'll take him down long enough for us to subdue him, figure out what's going on
-A faint ping, and a blue grenade detonates in a burst of lightning against the doorframe. It touches only Oliver-
-Oliver's vision freaks out for a moment. When it returns, he's lying on the ground, a Militia soldier keeping him there while everyone else surveys the room-
Head Grunt: ...holy shit. I don't think anyone got into this sickbay. No casualties.
Green Grunt: Looks like we've got him to thank. You doing okay down there, brother?
Oliver: ...what?
Head Grunt: 50 people owe their lives to you. And if the survivors in the rest of the sickbays are testifying, a lot more than that.
The hell even happened here?
-Oliver is inconspicuously silent-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."—Takanuva overhears the noise of a siren coming, and drawing a line towards its destination from the lights, figures out where Cath and the others might be. Curious, he heads over to see what's going on—
@Suzu: Hey there, what's...
—He sees the Steve bleeding and the scene around him—
@Cath: What happened?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.-The recording fast-forwards-
-A lot-
-When it stops, Oliver is in a courtroom-
Judge: ...when you finally found your nerve, you managed to save 278 people from being murdered at the hands of the amoral ARES Division of the IMC. Nevertheless, however, you failed to perform your duty as a reservist when the Apply Pressure was boarded.
I find the defendant, Reservist Jackson, guilty of dereliction of duty. In light of his service when he finally realized what we fight for, however, I am lowering his punishment. You will no longer be assigned to a penal battalion... Rifleman Jackson.
Oliver: I understand.
Judge: You will perform a remedial sim course to determine if you will need to be sent back to boot camp. Provided you pass you will be issued as a recruit would to a combat brigade. This will be proper repayment for the Apply Pressure.
-The recording ends and Oliver returns to normal-
-He is very silent-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

(A truck arrives, and Cath comes out of it.)
Cath: Good job, guys! I've got what's hopefully a great-
(She sees the debacle with the injured person, Suzu, etc.)
Cath: ...Bad time? ._.
