==== Reforming Bridge Four ====
All of the men in Bridge Four are resigned to die since Bridge Four has the worst reputation, even compared to the already-deplorable conditions of the other [[bridge crew]]s. Because of this, none of the men socialize with each other—in fact, they don't even know each other's names.
