Funny enough, there is a National Guard installation(and a recruitment center) nearby from me. It might be a good to do it and continue with college. Thanks I'll look into it.

I don't honestly expect him to agree with that plan but that's what makes good stories.

Fair enough, would he be hostile to it? Even if it was voluntary?

The humans being used as cheap augmented slave labor reminds me of the vibe of Overwatch Transhuman Arm from HL² slightly. Pretty cool. What were some aspects of the civilian rated enhancements compared to the military rated ones for post-liberation Homo Grandis?

As for not all humans accepting these 'Grails', that's a good move. I did the same, even some people with these augmentations being adamant belevers against them.

Yeah, first things I thought about implementing both 'Grails' and Homo Superior is the potential disparity that would arise. "Why do they get the awesome genes and we get to be glorified 'roid monkeys? I don't even like football, why should I care that I can low tackle a Minotaur? Hey, isn't our Brotherhood espousing about being skeptical of the gods? Why are we following these Grail guys who are essentially just that but occasionally they come down to strut around like peacocks?"

A healthy amount of skepticism, so Bertram concludes, is a good thing. It means, to him, they haven't lost their humanity.

I was also thinking of incorporating Druella as some sort of antagonist to this. Being who she is, and her 'utopian' ideals, the humans supping up to be able to wrastle and contest Mamono as a baseline might throw her and her extremists into a social panic. "By my mother's left tit we gotta speed up the path to Utopia, the humans are getting uppity!"

The road is rockey ahead.
