Of 600 scouts (both glands intact) 72 failed implantation, died in service, or were deemed unfit to live (gross mutation or underdevelopment). Both their glands are forfeit and the host gets 72 less new marines. This equals 12% of scouts, which is a low number, especially in times of war. A more typical figure would be 20-30% attrition rate/unfit mark. So Castor's orders are having the desired effect, without making the new marines less worthy or less skilled.

Prior to the battle of Valpolicella mature glands were removed from exisiting marines (very good timing!). A total of 1366 glands were successfully removed from 1377 live Astartes; the rest were unsuitable for anything but Doctore's experiments.

The Host has suffered a further 97 battle deaths; a handful over Guytoga, but the vast majority as a result of boarding actions over Valpolicella. Of these 36 came from amongst those Marines with a single gland remaining, and 11 had both of theirs intact (boarding actions over Guytoga). The rest of the deaths came amongst those without glands.

Using the 1366 recovered glands, plus a handful of stored ones, Doctore has created/is creating a new batch of 1400 scout-candidates. It will take at least 6 months (preferably 1-2 years) post-Valpolicella to create the Scouts (his rate of success is currently very high). After creation they will receive some further training and be assigned to companies. Five years after they've received all implants they are ready for 1st extraction.
