“Was that his name?” Jack asked. 
Rebus is giving characters special-ops training, so they can save the Thread if it might be destroyed. 

Speaking of the test, how should Rose be doing? 

And unrelated to it, I think Symbol and Rebus last flew away on a bird. 

Rose should be doing pretty well, I think. 

The mountains grew closer, though still far away. Symbol welcomed the cold rain soaking her hair and her clothes. It felt savage. It felt... like what she deserved.

Rebus was waiting for her, standing in parade rest wearing his black, white, and grey armor. “Fael. I don’t believe we’ve met, but I’ve been looking for someone to do something for me.”

Fael is TwinStorm’s Narrator, and unrelated to Materializers. There are a lot of Sdrawkcab names - Eof, Erif, Selppaenip, and probably others.

Alright. There’s a list of all the qualities he was testing for a few pages ago - I’ll get that and edit it in. 

Spoiler

endurance (with a zombie horde type of thing), attentiveness (with ninjas messing with his stuff), logical problem solving (with a knights and knaves door puzzle), decision making (Beosta got herself drunk during a break in the test, failing this one), mobility (with an obstacle course), sheer destructive potential (with a heavily armored ogre that requires either a precise attack or overwhelming force to defeat), resolve (with a spooky maze where you get caught by hunters if you panic and run), rationality (through an overwhelming tide of enemies that can really only be ran from), aggressiveness (a hostage situation where the hostage taker could be either attacked or bargained with), and finally a surprise test that shall be played out through actual posts. (Teamwork is also to be tested later) 

Any of those with significantly bad, good, or interesting performance can be written out - it’s probably faster and less repetitive this way. 

Rebus had forgotten what it felt like to actually be cold. He felt the same as Symbol, though - for not stopping her earlier, for letting Lady Bug do this to her, and for not knowing what to do.

She raised an eyebrow. "Really? And what would that be?"

Cricket's performance (per request)

Spoiler

he excelled at the endurance test, and passed the attentiveness test fairly easily, the logical test, however, caused him trouble, as did decision making, but he got through both in the end, excelling at the mobility and destructive potential. The hunters shocked him in the resolve test, but the actual trial went well. He failed his rationality test, refusing to run from the horde, and also failed the aggressiveness test, mostly through indecisive action till it was too late.

"I have salted, caramel, brown sugar, boiling, and more types of pretzels. Those were some delicous pretzel thoughts you were having.

The pretzel in his hand crumbled into utility fog - his nanotech needed to eat to replenish itself, while Rebus could go without food almost indefinitely. “I’m glad you liked them,” Rebus said, “but my pretzel thoughts were mostly to contact you. I have a mission to offer freelance adventurers, and I’ve heard you’re quite powerful, and might take payment in pretzels to empower you. I assume you cannot use the ones you conjure, but if you can, I’m willing to discuss alternative payment.” Since Fael was also there, Rebus gave his pitch below.

Cricket's performance (per request)

“A while back, I was approached by the villain Desolation. To allow me to seem genuine even if he tried to read my mind or future, I created an evil clone of me to manipulate him. It worked, but then my clone - calling himself Rebel - stole a Plotblade and ran away. For reasons you are presumably familiar with, I can’t chase him down myself, but I figured someone of Narrator status can take him down. If you want payment, I can offer a favor equal to the amount of effort you spent catching - and probably killing, since he’s just as slippery as I am - Rebel and returning the sword.” 
As Rebus had expected, Cricket was a good fighter, but an emotional mess. Rebus brought Rose (@Bird Furious) and Cricket into the same arena once the two were done with their individual tests. He hovered in the air, the cape on the back of his armor billowing, and gave them a moment to speak to one another.

“Most of the things I can, but with less capacity; I’ve shut down his access to both Prismite and antimatter, so he can Narrate only once - if I recall, he plans to wait till I’m indisposed, then use that to get my entire core - and can’t do anything like consume a planet or break the sound barrier. Illusions through holograms, telekinesis through utility fog, slow molecular manipulation to change things into other materials or nanomachines, hacking and surveillance, and strong-but-light materials are all within his ability - he’ll also be enhanced physically, and as intelligent as I am. That shouldn’t be much of a problem for a Narrator, though, especially after I give you two badges that track and commandeer utility fog, so you can disable security and avoid being killed by robots eating your brain an hour after you win. The real problem is the Plotblade - it can do things relating to treasure, such as bribing the greedy and generating valuable things, and it’s also a very powerful weapon in general, capable of co-opting power from other sources.” Rebus paused, letting the daunting task sink in. “I do believe you can beat him, though it will be hard. The Plotblade is worth much - if I didn’t believe in you I could seek out a larger team.”

1-10 with 1 being bad and 10 being amazing and 5 being average: 5 endurance, 8 attentiveness, 4 logic, 7 decision making, 9 mobility, 5 for the precise attack (but she had her laser), 8 for resolve, 7 for rationality, 10 for aggressiveness (she's very aggressive, that is). She likely would have failed only the problem solving and maybe the ogre.

“Would you accept payment in an incredible amount of pretzels to boost your power?

Rebus nodded at the results. Rose was more stable than Cricket - he could use that, teach them to work together and follow Rose’s more decisive and rational lead in a crisis. The aggression might cause problems, but it would also get rid of problems - Rebus, at least, considered false positives perfectly fine if the world (and more importantly, him and Symbol, who reside within it) is at stake. Note - trigger-happy superhumans are a problem in my book, but Rebus’s ethics are kinda twisted. 
Rebus leapt off the bird, then took off his jacket and gave it to Symbol, assuming she was still wearing her party dress. “You need warm clothes too. Ruia might have been you, but your judgment was clouded by Corruption. I don’t know if that makes it all right, but it does make it ridiculous to punish yourself - Corruption is dead and gone, and so, unfortunately, are the people it made you kill. Hypothermia will not solve that.”
