The skin on his arms was peeled back from wrist to elbows, and strange devices whirred, injecting something directly into his muscles. Utterly immobilised by the strange blue light being emitted from the ceiling, James could only moan weakly at the excrutiating pain. The face of his uncle came into view, holding a contraption which seemed to be all blades and edges as he started it up and moved it towards the supine boy's chest...'"Huuuunh!" James bolted upright in his bed with a sharp inhalation of breath, just barely stifling a cry. For a moment, he didn't know where he was - and then, memory returned. He glanced at his alarm clock; 4.30 am. James looked over at Marcus to check he hadn't awakened him, but the other boy's breathing seemed regular. Taking a shuddering breath and drenched in sweat, James lay back down, staring at the ceiling. He knew he wouldn't get back to sleep after that. 'Well, that bodes well for my time here..'When Marcus awoke, James was already fully dressed and sitting cross-legged on his bed, eyes closed. He looked pale and a little drawn. His lips moved silently; he seemed to be reciting...something. 'Scenario #031. Three assailants, hand to hand weapons. If they appear uncoordinated, subject should approach and attack, utilising their lack of teamwork against them. If they appear to have trained in combat together, subject should retreat to a location where they cannot surround the subject and attempt to isolate a single target at a time. Scenario #031(b)..' He continues to do this until the breakfast and then turns up slightly early, making no effort to encourage or discourage Marcus from joining him.</blockquote>
