PM: They will need a lot of time to grow...

*Sighs*

Prime minister you will not have a lot of time very soon. What is the minimum amount of time it will rewuire to both train and grow a standard legion

*thinks*

You have a week to create the first batch of two hundred men. They should also be competent crew for a ship, as well as being fully armed. That will be my re-payment for the genetic modifications without permission to my former clones. The second batch of two hundred should be ready as soon as possible. Do we have an agreement prime minister?

PM: Yes.

Excellent. I will return here i a few days to check your progress and to be sure that you met with the standars i expect. My sponser will contact you shortly.
One more thing. People may come here in search of me. If anyone asks, the army is for a colonists on the outer rimm who are having a lot of trouble with space pirates.
