The first message that they received later that evening was from Commander Yuri, a report on the progress and relative performance of the soldiers who had undergone the human training programs.
To say that the volunteers were eager for another round of training was a vast overstatement, but the Commander had deemed that they were ready to receive the next course and upgrade their skills. He was also requesting that another group be given permission to take the first-year training to improve their skills, as they had proven so effective against the Arisen force.
That saved Max a lot of trouble, as he had been planning to bring the matter up at dinner when they saw each other next.
