Hey, Silver. Uhh a little help? Seeing the waiting glare thrown his way, Battalion decides to explain.
Look I'm sorry but it was the only way to be sure. We can't just let a kid like that join. What if he was just some glorified hacker? Even if he did mean well he'd be roadkill the instant we sent him on a mission.
He manages to get one hand free and begins to nonchalantly cut himself free of the flooring with a precision laser. Besides, I was right. That kid is a probability manipulator, sure as you are standing here. A powerful one too as you can see. He points to the edges of the hole in the wall and the floor panels that has just "happened" to give way underneath him.
