I think I can help balance out your residual neurological disruption before your abilities significantly reassert themselves—”

“Eighteen seconds!” That shout was Keira — Jetgirl. “I was eighteen seconds behind Hardesty, and she cheated! I scared the Hell out of those punks, I can tell you! They thought Lynette landed hard? They had no idea!”

“So. You’re Artifact.”

Landon paused, then snorted. “Yeah,” he said. “I’m Artifact.”

“Seemed dumb to dance around the subject. It’s pretty obvious. I mean, Jesus. You call the Lieutenant ‘Jayce.’”

“Everyone calls the Lieutenant Jayce.”

“No one calls the Lieutenant Jayce, Donny. Jesus Christ.”
