Draiss looked at the dragonpile of eager dragonlings, and burst out laughing, before helping Vorela out. "And yes, she is correct. If that is what you do when excited, you are going to scare or hurt some poor soft skin. As the LAST group to go out found, they don't take well to being scared or hurt. All right, that armor is atrocious, you need to talk to Saarisi about getting it improved so you can actually do more than stagger around. Once you do that, one of the shadow stalkers will train you in how to move and fight in it. Yes, you already have your own technique, but that is suicide to rely on. Keep it, but have something else you can use if you get surrounded."<br/><br/>The first four were put together, and Draiss assigned a drone master death squad, who had nearly two dozen drones, and carefully kitted the construct out to support the kids, but made sure the four 'children' understood that it was there only to keep them from dying due to encountering something too powerful for them. If they did something stupid and died, it would report that too him and their mothers, and let them decide the punishment. "So be smart, and be safe even while having 'fun,' and I use the term loosely. Now, get to the armory, and the stalker on duty will had out your equipment."<br/><br/>The kids headed to the armory, and Draiss glanced at the death squader. "Keep them alive if you can, but let them make their own mistakes. IT is the only way they will learn."<br/><br/>He handed the construct the map with several ruins and cavern systems already highlighted, and nodded to the portal. "They will be deploying straight from the armory, so have fun."<br/><br/>He turned to the whelps that had stayed behind, mostly looking pathetic but hopeful that he would change his mind. "As for the rest of you..."<br/><br/>He paused, just long enough to get their hopes up a little, before continuing. "Simulation room, and we are doing groups in a simulation I built. So try not to fail, cause the team that does the best gets to head out next. And I decide who does the best."
