Howdy folks!

OK, I have a question about Sylvie.  Since she knows the KS' secret
<SNIP>
I'll leave this to Bert, "He knows what he's doing" <VBG>
[ducks (or should that be robins :) to avoid incoming fire]

Ahahahaha!  Verrry funny.  :)
That information is classified...as in 'quit speculating and let me write,
dammit!'.  ;)

A couple of thoughts spring to mind here :

1. The suits are made for an individual.
   ie. tuned for the users reaction times, size, strength, fighting style.
   Sylvie may be a buma, but you can't just slot in a 'Priss' disc !

Right!  Each suit has been ergonomically designed, and can only be worn by
the designated pilot.  Of course, some re-tooling of the suit interior *is*
probably possible...

2. Lack of combat experience - watching out for Sylvie could be
   more hazzardous than Skyknight (in his current state).
   And before some says 'What about the DD ?'
     The DD was either up against civilians or in full
     'auto-battle' mode during the fight with the KS.

That much is true...but Sylvie did handle the DD pretty well against those
two boomers.  I'd have to say she has *some* training.  Besides...even
though I don't like harping on the fact that she is a boomer, she's probably
got some innate combat abilities, or can get them.  (Upgrade of software?)
*shrugs*

Anyhow...I'm taking the line that she has some skills along those lines.

Hey Robin...how come I haven't gotten any comments on #9 from you yet, hmmmm?
(I'm still reading TC II, myself...)
