"naturally, who wouldent exploit any advantage that they had" Hack picks up the first book and begins to read, taking his time so as not to miss what little he understands of it "you aint familiar with 'supersoldiers' are you?"

"Yep. And yet it's not the right kind of specialization. I've seen spandex-boys who could move mountains get ripped apart by a vampire. And there are old creatures of the night that are barely within our skill." ["Our" refers to the Old Guard.]

Not very much. It's a very technical tome about psionics and vampires.

Your Psi affinity is 400, so you're strong but no crackerjack. In general, Hack's Affinities are low but his attributes are pretty high. Some of these attacks are calling for an equivalent Affinity of 1500+.

"I am one of those idiots.", Whistler says, mocking an expression of rage. "Efficiency and conserving your power is a vital skill against foes stronger than you. But you are right: sometimes you have to put everything on the line with no questions."

Whistler continues working on something, very technical and beyond Hack's ability. He quiets down, Hack assuming he probably should do th esame.

Though time is dilated, Hack feels the time pass quickly. Physical training, science and engineering experience, extensive and theoretical lectures, weapon training... All are taught to Hack. Inbetween Whistler makes his famous rabbit stews and Reuben sandwiches.

Is there in anything in particular over the weeks that he trains that Vince wants to focus on? Ask Whistler? Any special ideas he has for training or tests? Etc.? If not, we can move to Blade.
