Dreg stood on one of the large training mats in the training room with Jada. Orik was with them, watching as they sparred. He didn't like that Dreg was so close to his mate. After what had happened to Dreg's family, Orik didn't trust that Dreg wouldn't become angry about her not being able to save his family, feeling like he could snap at her at any moment.
At the moment, they were training on a mat in hand-to-hand combat. It turned out that the Kreq were well-trained. They just didn't know it until they allowed their instinct to take over. It seemed that the serum prevented them from using their instincts as well.
They had learned that the soldiers were in an 'old school' zombie-type state nearly all of the time. It was nothing like the zombies that were created by infecting them with the serum.
