I'm a receptive. I have this mystical goop inside of me which allows me to do things I shouldn't be able to do. In a sense, it helps me hone my skills. Blowing Bane up is a lot easier then previously imagined with this 'power,' but this receptiveness has it's faults.. like being second in command of a platoon (All receptive unit.). I've got many new transfers in my platoon coming in, and I've seen a lot of receptives, most of them are kids, and if they're not kids they're civilians... doctors, mechanics, librarians, computer programmers, artists... all sorts of civilian jobs. I don't know how to interact with these people, they're not in the same mindset. Reminds me of replacements in those old war movies I used to watch when I wasn't fighting, back on Earth. Many will go through hell and back with born soldiers like I until they, themselves, become one. That sounded too poetic for my liking, but I think I earned it for dealing with them. They're like... puppies.
