Chapter 3 - 3. Perfecting the Super Soldier SerumThe moment the soldiers outside saw Nolan lying inside the chamber, several of them exchanged knowing glances. They'd been through this routine plenty of times, some even involved in the actual experiments. They all knew what was coming.
"This guy's got a death wish. Would've been better if we just shot him ourselves."
"Failed serum? Never tried it myself, but I've seen it. One guy begged me to finish him off."
"He's nuts. Completely gone."

Inside the command office...
The HYDRA soldier watched Nolan enter the machine and, remembering Baron Strucker's words began to relax. His earlier unease vanished.
