Nate looks at his two downed teamates.  "It's a pitty we didn't start off with the grand blast.  Seems to me there were two many leaders, no real teamates.  We got lucky that the radiation guy seemed to be studying instead of trying to acually kill us.  He could have taken us all out no proublem, yet seemed more interested in data.  I think I'm gonna spend the next couple of years studying and training and if you don't mind, I'll rejoin when I'm a wee bit older.  Losing my parents was bad enough, to lose my new family before I get to know them is too much."  Nate says in an analytically monotone voice.
