AGE Generation 1.25

[agedup]

[So then, look who's back and with puberty mostly out of the way.  The Razor's taken a bit of damage from the fight against Tver, but Flit's still looking plenty happy to be at a Unity Group base once more.]

You know, it's funny.  It's only been about half a year but it feels... longer.  Then again it's been really busy for me and the AGE System.  But... now I'm feeling ready to get back into it.  The treatment for X-Rounders has come a long way, for me too even... and I can't just let everyone else do the hard part of keeping people safe forever.

I remember everything being a little bit bigger though...

Welcome back, Flit.

It's not that everything shrunk. It's the other way around.

[agedup]

I know, I know. But it's just... all the things you expect to have changed when you leave a place and come back later, you don't figure on height.

[star_of_sad]

It's just a thing that happens to boys at a certain age. I'm sure no one will mind.

So - you said you were very busy with the AGE system?

[agedup]

That's right. I was using it to further refine the treatment for X-Rounders, and also figure out how to make Leos's cybernetics more like real flesh and blood.

Both are still a work in progress, but the AGE System helped both processes come a really long way.

[star_of_sad]

It sounds like the System that started by creating weapons will end up making peoples' lives better, instead. It really did go a long way.

And so did you, Flit.

[agedup]

It was all thanks to my mother though.

She laid the groundwork for everything... and I couldn't have done this without her. Or everyone here either. Especially you, Setsuko.

[star_of_sad]

Me? I didn't really do that much... not more than others.

[dolorous_sensei]

Growth spurt, eh? So have you used it to date anyone yet?

[agedup]

I didn't have time. Between my own treatment and trying to help Leos, I was really preoccupied.

That and... I haven't met anyone like that yet.

[Sorry Emily! You don't exist!]

[dolorous_sensei]

Too bad. Unlike messed-up plebian like me, it will be a shame if your gene isn't passed.

[agedup]

... I'm only sixteen.

[dolorous_sensei]

Well, I'm just telling you to prepare for it later.

[agedup]

I'll... worry about that if it ever comes up. But thanks, Walt.
