---Nolan---
Before Nolan walks away to speak to Khayman, the Psi-Stalker named Kora nods to him after he addressed her.

"Understood sir. She was just testing all of them to see if they would handle certain types of pressure. For Aaron it was to see if he could do his job when Meris was moments from bleeding to death. For Marcus and Viego, it was to see if they would hold their position when a team mate was in a life threatening situation. They were powerless to assist, so it would have been counter productive on the battlefield had they not left it to Aaron and focused on their duties. Which was, in this case, to stay out of the way." Her voice was calm and direct with no hint of condescension or agitation. She explained it as simply as if a general had asked her.
After his quick conversation with Khayman, Nolan turned back to watch the last boy display his gifts.
---Khayman---
Khayman realizes he should probably be using sir and salutes and …well not being nearly this forward with a Lieutenant. Insulting the man and not addressing the his superior rank is likely not going to endear the man to Khayman or the boys.
---Everyone---
Marcus leaps up into the air with such force dirt and rubble blast outward from his feet. When he comes down on the SAMAS, his blade splits the main body of the power armor with one blow. The sound of the hit cracks like Thunder and dust and wind blast outward from the impact. Even the ground shakes slightly from the force of the blow.
Several howls erupt from around the parameter and a few cheers along with them. This doesn't disturb anyone as they've heard the dog-boys and parameter guards cheering during practice before.

Meris smirks and nods to Marcus, "As usual, Well done."
She turned to the three young men as Marcus moved to join them. "This is what the High Command will want to see. Perform for them as you displayed here and I am sure things will go perfectly. Any questions?"
---Nolan---
Thankfully, during all of these exercises, Nolan did not once sense the presence of magic being used.
