Inside the observation room atop the testing area on the fourth underground level, William and Halsey sat in their respective seats, looking down at the ongoing cleanup operation below.
The four surviving experimental subjects were no match for Blue Team, which was equipped with Mjolnir Armor, or their UBCS opponents, who were equipped with the AAES3 model.
Moreover, even if those four experimental subjects had been "in perfect condition" and equipped with equally powerful Power Armor, the outcome would still have been predetermined.
They would die at Blue Team's hands.
Halsey's assessment of the Spartan III was: "Demigods? How could they possibly be compared to the Protogonos, the primordial gods?"
Only after the four experimental subjects in the testing area had completely breathed their last, and a group of technicians in white protective suits had entered to clean up the site, did Halsey shake her head slightly in displeasure and say:
"It seems that even the Astartes created from D-class personnel have trouble taking on ten opponents at once when both sides have the same weapons and equipment. Sigh, Sparta really is getting worse with every generation."
"Heh." William merely smiled, unconcerned.
"Not entirely. These four experimental subjects have never received any military training. Even their knowledge of weapons probably came from various video games and comic books.
Their opponents, on the other hand, were all drug lords and war criminals who killed without blinking. They were already far superior to these subjects in that regard.
If we operated on a group of trained youths, taking down these D-class personnel should be easy."
"Hum..." Halsey still frowned. "There's nothing we can do. They are mass-produced creations, after all. This level of combat ability is already quite impressive.
