You are half way to the age of 17. You have been implanted with only 1 implant this time, but it is arguably one of the most important: The
Progenoid Glands, which were the only way to truly continue the Chapter. You realize that your tenure as a Neophyte is nearing a close, and while a small part of you is a little worried at going to the Battlefield, you also realize that It had to come soon. You have spent close to half your life in the Monastery, and while the chapter does prefer to hold powerful beings in reserve, You haven't managed to earn much more than the title of 'promising Trainee' for the actual Marines, and not the scouts and trainers. Therefore, you will need to prove yourself worthy not only to them but also to yourself.
One of your first actions is to train with your newfound freedom or more specifically the power that you had discovered earlier in your tenure as a Neophyte: The Iron Arm. This power supposedly turns a Mortal human's arm into 'Living Steel', so you wonder what it could do to an Astartes.
(2d100=163)
Quite a bit, you find out as you blaze through many of the Exercises laid out for you when you voiced your intention to practice it. You can detect the Flesh you are trying to change on yourself, and even can change the hardness back and forth. Unfortunately, the hardness is nowhere near up to par, and you cannot even begin to detect other peoples Flesh to change. This will take a bit of Practice.
While you are practicing your Iron arm, you also inquire if someone could teach you how to properly regenerate wounds. The Codicer that was guiding you blinks, before bringing you over to the Codicer in charge of the Lesson. When prompted, you repeat your request, which earns another blink, before you receive an approving look from the Codicer. He then approves your request, after which you are taken to a private room, to discourage other Neophytes from trying to eavesdrop and attempt learning the power on their own, which could have disastrous results. You then are taken through the most basic of practices, along with the theory to learn on your own. You complete the first exercise and then are left mostly alone to practice individually.
(Gained: Regeneration (If under full wounds, increase wounds by 2. Can heal wounds with keyword 'Large'. Basic Apprentice, 0/100 to Intermediate Apprentice. Cannot use until Basic Master.)
You also speak some more with Tyris. He is happy you are spending more time with him but has a bit of an odd request. He doesn't want you to play chess but instead spar. While you are a bit wary of sparring with him, after your other disaster of a spar during the contest you eventually agree. The two of you make your way down to the Training cage, where you take your positions. The bell is rung, and you two spar.
(d100=80)
The result is pretty good. You win some, which is to be expected and lose some, which you expected less, but you can tell that Tyris really did appreciate the favor. You honestly feel as if you know him a lot better after this.
(Gained: Tyris Sheet.)
You also spend some time with Siegfried. He once again challenges you to an Arms duel, which you agree to. The result...
(d100=79)
Isn't half bad. You won the Duel this time around and while Siegfried puts on a 'Sad' face, you can tell that he is secretly ecstatic to have someone he can win and lose against in an equal capacity. You honestly feel the same way. It's rather refreshing to have a challenge as good as this one. You did find yourself having a much easier time during the Gun drills the next day, however. You caught your hands doing similar motions to what you observed Siegfried doing the day before. Perhaps this will be something new?
(Gained: ??? (Must spend 1 more turn with Siegfried to gain.)
After all of your time with other people, doing new things, a part of you just wants to explore a bit. Perhaps taking another trek through the Monastery would be good for you?
(d100=51)
While nothing seems to be truly out of place, you did enjoy the walk through the Monastery. You feel refreshed after it, and hopefully, this will prove to be a good omen for the rest of your life.
