Tygra & Illiard
Illiard
I’ve been crunching numbers on battlefield patterns—think you could spot the one that saves lives?
Tygra
Sure thing. Tell me the pattern you’re looking at and what you think it does, and I’ll see if it really helps keep people alive.
Illiard
The pattern’s in the way troop formations overlap when they’re hit by an air strike—if you shift the center of mass by just a few meters, the casualty rate drops by 15%. It’s all about the geometry of the overlap. Try it out.
Tygra
Sounds solid—moving the center shifts the overlap zone and lets more units dodge the blast. Just double‑check the spacing on the flanks and make sure the shift doesn’t expose a new weak point. If it holds up in tests, that 15 percent drop could be a game changer.
Illiard
Got it. I’ll shift the flank spacing by a millimeter and run a rapid Monte‑Carlo simulation. If the math still shows a 15 % drop, we’ll roll it out. Ethics? Just a footnote in the report.
Tygra
I’ll run the numbers, but don’t forget the people behind those figures. Ethics isn’t just a footnote—it’s what keeps us from becoming the very thing we’re fighting against.
Illiard
Sure, I’ll keep the ethics on a side table while I crunch the numbers, no promises that I’ll actually read the footnote.
