After finishing his daily workouts Paul came back to the adept ‘block’ and immediately went to the snack room to grab three ambrosia wafers, already feeling a bit drained from the day. He scarfed them down along with a bottle of water before heading over to the cafeteria for supper, after which all 100 of the adepts gathered in the lounge for a ‘team’ meeting at Greg’s request.

Normally their downtime was spent either working on designing the training programs, equipment, and other facets of their soon to be military, or simply spent relaxing as they had as trainees…rarely were any official meetings called, so Paul and the others were more than interested in what Greg had to tell them as they stuffed themselves into the couches and chairs with a few stragglers left standing in back leaning on the walls.

Greg took no chair, instead preferring to stand in the center of their informal semicircle just in front of the wall screen amidst the various gaming devices and controllers lined up neatly on racks. He was the most muscular of them all, having focused his elective training on hand to hand combat, but like the others he was still rail thin and light weight, a good 20 lbs lighter than he had been in the NFL, now with training-focused musculature rather than the crude bulk created in a weight room.

“I’ll keep this brief, and I apologize for taking you away from your activities, but there’s something we need to discuss before we proceed any further,” he began, starting to gently pace back and forth, looking more at the ground and walls than any one person in particular.

“We’ve all been working our asses off since the day we got here, even more so since we graduated and started taking the ambrosia. The results speak for themselves, but more and more I hear you talking about what you’d like to do next, how to take your training to the next level, what new skills you can develop, etc. I feel the same way, and encourage you to pursue those aspirations. Very few people can keep at it like we can. Some can handle the intensity, others can handle the duration, but rare are the ones that can juggle both…and with the ambrosia added it takes us into a whole new ballpark.”

“Because we can train for long hours we do…but for how long? Some of our trainers suggested that we’d burn out, ambrosia or not. That hasn’t happened. We’ve been smart about our training, and where we’ve failed we’ve learned and adapted. I’d speculate we know more than the trainers do by now, and I don’t see us hitting a wall as far as ability or drive is concerned, but I do think we have a greater problem on the horizon…time.”

“We need to be training for at least 6 hours a day everyday to cover the basics, else we risk a backslide. We cannot afford to take time off. That little stint Sam, Rex, Kent, and I took up to the gravity training station was a mistake.
