Taric Sizier"I could give a little demonstation here..."
[Speech roll 5+1 You lucky little...] Funnily enough it seems that Saun is a fan of Really bad pickup lines, and she gives you a grin.
"Well under normal cirumcstances you'd have to get me dinner first, but..." Her smile widens into something that could only be defined as predatory.
"Seeing as we're working together for the first time I'm sure no one would object to a few... trust building exercises." You had plans for the rest of the day, your pretty sure they involved a lab and some machines that whirred and made beeping noises. You're also pretty sure that you don't give a good goddamn what those plans were right now. You're also fairly certain that nobody who wasn't psionic could have done half of those things.
You are otherwise occupied for (2) turns. Your are now located in the private offices in the former independent section.
(It is important to note that as a sociopath she views this activity at the same intimacy level as playing catch, and thus it won't split any loyalties between Tarran and yourself. Also, if she wasn't a sociopath this would not have been this easy. At all.)

Tarran Smith Go for the advanced course! Pew pew!
[Observation roll failed] You set up the range for a more advanced course, trying once again to bring some focus up. [Marksman 4+1, 4+1, 2+1, 1 Vs difficulty 16, Failed.] You try, and for the first few shots you do perfectly, you completely lose it on the last one though and bomb the rest of the course. Damnit, you almost had it.

Trol GraneTry to brawl one more time.
You look for a fight one last time [Luck roll 3] and it seems that now that Dom is done being tossed about there are a few people willing to fight. It isn't quite what you're looking for but you find a rough kickboxing match. [Alt. Melee/soak Trol 3+1, 5+1, 2+1, 4+1, 4+1, 4] Vs [Alt. Melee/soak Fighter 4+1, 3+1, 3+1, 2, 2, 3] Your oppenent is good but after the second time you kick him the head he kinda loses his focus, a couple heavy blows later he hits the deck, only conscious in the vaguest sense. You could get into this.
+2/8ths melee, +1/8th soak.
(You got very luck with your bonus rolls, you won't always have all those +1s)

Dominique Wakeman"I think you already took care of the sobering part," Dom said. "Nothing like being slammed around repeatedly to make you pay attention." She punched her fists together. "I'm ready to give it a shot."
The older woman nods and you follow her into a large circle etched roughly into the floor, marked for the use of kinetics. She motions for you to stand in the center, and tells you to close your eyes.
"In this part of the exercise, I'm going to throw heavy objects at you. You're going to keep your eyes closed, you're going to catch them and hold them, and you're not going to use your hands." Your eyes are closed so you can't see here face, but her voice contains no hint of sarcasm or a smile. This might not have been the best pla- [Alt. Kinesthesia/A.Kinetics 5+1, 2, 4, 3, 3+1, 2 Vs Difficulty 20 passed] You feel the first object from the instant it moves, catching it is a little more tricky, and it continues to be tricky as two more large objects joint the first. It is a very Very near thing but you manage to hold them all up. [Will roll 2] And then Major Cain throws a punch at the back of your head, the sudden shock is enough to make you drop the objects you were holding with a clatter.
"Not bad for a first try, you need to work on your focus though. In a combat situation you may need to hold four or five struggling people at once, and people will be shooting at you, not punching you."+2/8ths passive kinetics, +2/8ths Active kinetics
