Uh, let's not do that again.
—"Phlegm," after being shot during a field exercise.
"Phlegm" was the nickname of a female recruit in the Republic Marines and the bunkmate of "Virus", a Human woman. During initial physical training, Phlegm exhibited difficulty in doing push-ups. Phlegm was a part of the training platoon's third squad, and prior to a field exercise, she was involved in an argument with "Horny"—an Elomin recruit—over the merits of rifles versus carbines. During the exercise, Phlegm was shot during an ambush by another training platoon while using powered-down weapons.
