"Your military AI old friend really knows how to economize," Malin concluded about Jason's 'old friend'.
Jason responded with a bitter and helpless smile.
Malin turned to look at the three young men: "Gentlemen, I have no questions for you."
Mica nodded and then began smoking in silence.
While smoking, Fisher stroked his amputated leg.
Hamil raised his hand and, seeing Malin gesture that he could speak, the young man began to talk immediately: "Sir, are you going to dispose of us?"
Seeing Malin expressionless, the young man smiled and then pointed to himself: "My brother hasn't finished his cigarette yet, kill me first, my back hurts so much, dying would solve it."
Hearing this answer, Malin turned to glance at Lagurov and Todd, who shook their heads.
Were they signaling Malin not to pity them, or were they simply helpless?
How to pity them? They were pitiable, but what about those who died at their hands? Was it just their bad fate?
