On the Wandering Monster, Part 3: Slaying CoDzilla

In part 1 of this series, I admitted to having fear and misunderstood Wandering Monsters in D&D for years, and resolved to find a way to make the system work.

In part 2, I proposed some methods, tested both in Into the Living Library and City of Eternal Rain, for tying procedural content generation into the overall narrative of your story.

Now, I'll talk about one of the benefits of wandering monsters—the end of the 15-minute adventuring day, and with it, CoDzilla.

"CoDzilla" is a 3.5-era bit of D&D slang that, for the uninitiated, means "Cleric or Druid-zilla." Clerics and Druids, even without much in the way of optimization, could be enormously powerful. Close competitors were Wizards, Sorcerers, and various non-core full casters. Starting from very low levels, these classes, through use of spellcasting, were able to single-handedly—often single-turnedly—win major encounters. Clerics and Druids were especially notorious, as in addition to a full complement of spells, they were no slouch at mundane fighting, had a host of miscellaneous abilities, and, in the case of the Druid, got the infamously-powerful Wild Shape ability and a pet grizzly bear. In contrast, a Fighter (who is maybe 25-50% better than the bear the Druid gets as icing) gets marginally better at hitting enemies with swords every level.

By 5th edition, the power imbalances between classes have been substantially narrowed, with non-casting classes getting various per-short-rest and per-day abilities that let them have some time in the spotlight. In my current 5th-edition campaign, I'm playing a Paladin, and, at 7th-level, don't feel particularly behind the party's Wizard and Cleric. Back in 3.x, I'd be lucky if I even got a turn in combat, and, with few skills or utility abilities, would pretty much fall asleep outside of battle. So to a certain extent, this fix is beating a dead horse, as changes to the rules have reduced the necessity for such a fix. Still, anecdotal accounts have suggested to me that the caster-warrior imbalance problem still lurks, especially at higher levels.

Solving this problem is where Wandering Monsters come in. Those of you playing Pathfinder and 3.x D&D should pay extra heed to this, but it's applicable to 5e as well.

Wandering Monsters Vs. CoDzilla

Encounters with Wandering Monsters have substantially lower stakes than pre-planned, climactic and narratively-key ones. Typically, the foes are easier and the tension is lower as victory is all-but assured. This means that characters have to choose between 'wasting' limited per-day abilities to seek a quick victory, or suffer additional damage by dragging out the fight by sticking with cantrips and regular attacks. The longer the battle, the more opportunities the monster has to get in a few hits before going down.

The devil with this decision is that, either way, casters lose and warriors win. A Paladin's basic attack is more accurate, reliable, and powerful than a wizard's cantrip, so if spellcasters withhold their 'special' attacks, non-casters take the spotlight. If the casters obliterate Wandering Monsters with high-level spells, then by the time they reach the 'real' fight (those being the pre-planned encounters, typically in dungeon rooms rather than hallways), they'll be relegated to cantrips while the fighters open up with their modest per-day abilities and their more efficient conventional attacks.

Martial classes do have some limited-use abilities, especially half-casters like Paladins, so they are pushed into a similar dilemma ("do I use Smite on the owlbear or save it for the true foe?") but the stakes are much lower, as their abilities are weaker and their conventional attacks more powerful than a true caster's. This means that even if the Paladins and other half-casters make the 'wrong' decision, they can typically make do regardless.

Now, the obvious flaw with this plan is that at any point the party can just fall back, rest, and come back in with a full complement of spells, right? This means that wearing the casters down through attrition is doomed from the start, because they can conveniently heal up to 100% with a single night's sleep. This is why adding Wandering Monsters all by itself isn't enough—we have to start enforcing other rules as well, such as…

No Long Rests in Dungeons

There's a secret to the long/short rest split of 5th edition D&D, and that's that not all classes benefit equally. Far and away, a short rest is more meaningful to a martial class than a spellcasting class, and vice-versa for long rests.

Most martial classes have powerful abilities that recover every short rest starting at level 2 or 3. For example, Fighters get Action Surge, Paladins get Channel Divinity, and Monks get Ki. Barbarians are a rare exception, as their key ability (Rage) is actually tied to long rests. Rangers have no useful abilities worth noting that recharge on short rests, long rests, or honestly at all, so there's no helping them. Spellcasters' main ability—spellcasting—universally require long rests to recover in full. Some casting classes, such as the Wizard and Druid, have abilities that let them recover some spell slots on a short rest—but these abilities themselves can only be used once per long rest, so at the end of the day, are still long-rest dependent. Additionally, martial classes, due to their larger hit dice, tend to recover more hit points on a short rest than spellcasting classes do. But, because casters get minor benefits from taking short rests, their players won't be frustrated by the need for taking them.

If you, as GM, provide many opportunities for a short rest (which is about an hour), but keep long rests few and far between, then martial classes can keep going while spellcasters are run ragged. In the context of a dungeon, you can, for instance, let them take short rests in cleared rooms as long as they put a modicum of effort into securing the room (blocking or locking the doors, for instance), but stress that long rests are impossible. There is simply no way to have eight relaxing, uninterrupted hours in a dungeon; Wandering Monsters will attack, spoiling the rest. What's more, the constant threat of attack from the unknown makes true relaxation unachievable. You can be upfront about this; don't assume the players know what you mean when you coyly say "well, you could try that, but you might be attacked in the night."

If the party wants to take a long rest, they have to leave the dungeon, set up camp, and come back—which will involve fighting their way through the Wandering Monsters that have moved into previously-cleared areas, thus wearing the party down again and defeating the purpose. Conveniently, all of this is simulated by the Wandering Monster table—the GM doesn't have to worry about actually moving monsters from room to room. Because Wandering Monster tables are at their heart a computer-free technological aid, the random die rolls on the table simulates all of the movement of a real ecosystem, much the same way that a character's hit points simulate their overall health, but remove a lot of the headache of doing so.

For very large dungeons, such as Paul Jacquay's famous Caverns of Thracia, it at first appears simply impossible for any party, no matter how stringent they are with spells and potions, to complete in a single long rest. In part, this is mitigated by numerous hidden entrances into the dungeon that, once discovered, can be used to bypass previously-cleared sections. There are also numerous shortcuts, such as teleport pads and elevators, that can be used in a similar manner. Still, all of that might not be quite enough, and when designing very large dungeons, occasional points of safety can be placed that are free of Wandering Monsters. They might have particularly secure doors, be protected by magic, or some kind of friendly NPC or monster. Think of these as a video game mid-dungeon save point, both in terms of how powerful an effect it will have, and how rare it should be.

Time Pressure

Into the Living Library relies heavily on Wandering Monsters because they play well with the adventure's time crunch: each time the party faces such a monster, their consumable resources (spells, potions, HP) are slightly depleted, and they must choose whether to press on in their weakened state or return to campus to rest, which means sacrificing one of their precious few days.

Wandering Monsters, tied with any kind of external time pressure, pack more work into a single adventuring day, and with that, the expenditure of more spells. Spellcasters' 'basic' attacks (cantrips and crossbows) tend to be much less powerful than those of a Fighter, Barbarian, or Paladin. If high-level spells and per-day abilities have to be carefully rationed out over the course of many encounters, rather than just one or two, then casters are brought down to the level of non-casters.

Not every adventure should include a time pressure element, as the players will start to feel rushed and possibly even railroaded, as the constant time demands may keep them from feeling able to pursue their own goals. Beware Fallout 4's Preston Garvey, who continually dispenses timed quests that pull the player away from doing what they want to do.

Keep the Battles Unbalanced

As a GM, I often forget that my toolbox includes more than perfectly-balanced encounters. It may sound like an oxymoron, but there is a time and a place for a poorly-balanced battle, which brings us back to the original post. Oblivion, my least-favourite Elder Scrolls game, has highly restrictive game rules in place in an attempt to keep every battle, whether it be against a necromancer lord or a random bandit, balanced on a knife's edge. Enemies and equipment level up closely in step with the player, meaning that as the player gains power, so too does the world. The drawback is that there are few if any "oh, crap!" moments where the player gets in over their head. Likewise, there are very few moments where the player simply obliterates the enemies in front of them, and, by doing so, feels like a badass.

By all means, strive for perfect balance and interesting terrain in your pre-made set-piece battles (such as what might be found in a dungeon's room, for example), but for Wandering Monsters, imbalance is a feature, not a bug. Battles that are 'too easy' will be resolved quickly (saving precious game time), and battles that are 'too hard' won't be fought at all—the party will turn tail and run (convincing the party to run rather than fight a losing battle is a good subject for a later post). Battles that are close to balanced will be drawn-out slugfests, forcing the party to draw upon every available resource. They will take ages, and burn through per-day abilities much faster than you intend, which in turn forces the party to leave the dungeon, thus contributing to the 15-minute adventuring day. Remember that easy battles will still drain the party's resources somewhat, as even the weakest monsters in 5e have a pretty good chance of getting one or two hits on any character, and players will be constantly tempted to blow the trash monsters away with their limited-use abilities, like spells and smites.

Another rarely-mentioned feature of unbalanced encounters is that they let you use a greater percentage of the Monster Manual when designing your dungeons, thus increasing the variety of creatures the party can meet. Using only level-appropriate encounters limits you to an ever-decreasing handful of creatures as the party levels up, and can push you into placing monsters in unthematic areas just to reduce the monotony a little. It also means that, in a few levels, when the party actually can fight the same type of high-level monster they've been running from, victory will feel all the sweeter.

Optimal Adaptions: Chapter 2

Their apartment was recently renovated, and one of the perks that came with this was a separate “room” for physical training. The station paid for part of this addition because Harper was required to maintain excellent physical condition.

With a command to JENIE glass walls erected to encase the balcony into a separate room. The equipment was rolled into the room by bots and the bits of metal were assembled into fully functional gym equipment within minutes.

The officer changed from her uniform into the approved active wear certified by the council. The metallic shorts glistened against the lights of the stats flashing on the walls around her. Her arm muscles could be seen straining against the wicked long sleeve shirt, covered in rectangular cut out sections along the ribs and arms, like a black skeleton. She was halfway through training for a 30 minute endurance ride on the bike.

The officer decided it was a good plan of action considering she was far from sleep and needed to clear her mind from the case. If the murder had been committed by the Radical Interplanetaries, she sure wouldn’t be getting sleep for a while. This event would no doubt sway the council vote on how to approach the containment of the riots.

A beeping sound notified Harper that she was dropping her speed below her average. She frowned, drawing her eyebrows together.

She could feel it happening, her own body holding out on its potential. She grimaced in determination, her jaw clenching, and with a press of a button the walls changed from training stats to a holographic video of a city street with a criminal racing by on a motorcycle. This psychological incentive always worked on Harper.

She picked up her speed and forgot her endurance goal for a blood pumping fictional chase, hoping to beat her speed record for the week. She took a deep breath and set into the machine, pushing and pulling with churning zeal.

The bike seemed to take off toward the motorcycle. Although she was stationary, the effects of the holographic simulation were truly realistic.

She smirked with satisfaction. Her rapidly elevating heartbeat was proved by a series of beeps from the machine.

Beads of sweat dripped down her forehead and traced racing paths down her cheeks. Her breath quickened to catch up with her pounding heart. Her stomach muscles clenched and released with the movement of her legs, causing her abs to scream in pain.

The perpetrator cut corners down alleyways through the Central District. The images were taken by surveillance bots and pasted into a digital hologram environment that Harper can actually interact with. Harper already knew every convenient path the criminal would take. She knew every pothole, every abandoned truck, and every hang out spot for smoking loiterers. These were the streets she protected.

The motorcyclist crossed through the brightly lit tunnel that connected to the Lower District.

Harper lurched her body forward, increasingly the force of her rhythmic legs. The ceiling streaked white light from the tunnel across her body. Her eyes were scarred with the imprint of light on her eyelids but she was reducing her distance to the culprit in the leather mask and tattered jacket. The jacket blew in the wind, billowing up behind them and obscuring their body. The subject was intentionally cloaked in anonymity. Harper’s legs ached from the pressure. The motorcycle was gaining speed in the straightaways of the tunnel but Harper relentlessly pursued.

Almost out of the tunnel, she repeated to herself over and over in her mind. As soon as they broke through the threshold of light into the dark world of the Lower District, Harper closed in their proximity, tailing dangerously close behind the motorcycle.

Nightclubs flashed by in a loud and chaotic blur. The fires from the riots casted odd shapes across Harper’s shiny sweat covered skin and she could see them several streets away in the distance, smoke rising from behind buildings. Even though they were so far, she could actually feel the heat radiating from them. It caused her to sweat and labor for breath. She would have wiped her face across her sleeve but she was too distracted to care about the sweat staining her lips. Her teeth gritted.

At some point, although not cognizant of the change, she no longer saw her task as a fictional chase.

Harper trembled with adrenaline and fear.

Her usually cool mind became fragmented and confused so she could no longer predict the moves of the speeding subject as it tore through the city, around dumpsters, and camps of homeless ex-settlement residents. They bombarded through the center of one of these camps, the motorcycle mowing over tents and belongings, narrowly missing a sleeping person on the ground. Harper swerved around the person without blinking. Once she had cleared the debris of the camp and entered another straightaway, she made the mistake of glancing briefly to her left.

Harper froze.

Had she been on a real bike, it would have flipped on impact of her harsh brake.

A stranger standing in the left corner of the screen moved her head to look towards Harper and Harper caught her image in her peripheral vision. The woman had sky blue eyes set within a familiar face, a face framed by silver hair. It flashed like flames with the orange of the campfires, and her wrinkles told a story of weathered memories long forgotten. She smelled of something strange and nostalgic that Harper had buried years ago, something from her childhood.

The officer felt a jolt within her at the recollection, which caused her to lose her focus and balk in her determination. Her legs struggled to keep their pace.

Perhaps it was the woman’s dark red aura which had disturbed her. Red was the color of violence and death. It was the color of rage, and fear, and chaos.

Harper winced and blinked rapidly to erase the abysmal color from her vision. Meanwhile, the motorcyclist traveled out of sight. She hadn’t had time to notice until her eyes cracked open again in hazy disorientation. Her body had slowed down its attack until her movement was inappreciable.

Eventually the light of the screens faded, pitching Harper into darkness. Until they transformed into the translucent windows of a 34th floor apartment once again, letting the light of the risen suns bath the room in a natural golden screen.

The officer’s muscles trembled. She tried to stand up from the bike without cooling down and her knees buckled beneath her.

“Harper-Nyx 2.53, it appears you are unstable. I will open the walls for you. Remember it is important to remain hydrated during exercise” JENIE alerted.

Harper leaned against the bike and nodded, feeling incredibly, and unusually, winded. A soft humming could be noticed as the walls retreated back into the building again.

Harper huffed. The frightening encounter with the simulated stranger was purposefully shoved into the back of her mind, and she tried to concern herself with her botched record instead. She didn’t even want to see what her time was. It would be embarrassing, especially since the station had a record of her training stats. Besides, she was never one to back down from a challenge.

Her hands still shook from the experience in the simulation. In a frustrated and uncomfortable move, she shoved her hands beneath her thighs, pinning them to the ground so she would no longer tremble. There they were ignored.

The bots came in to bring her a glass of water and offered further assistance which she declined. Her arm swiped against her slick forehead to sop up the salty sweat she had accumulated. Her amethyst eyes casted downward to frown at the liquid in her hands.

Her mind was a frantic mess that she couldn’t sort through.

Harper ran her hands up her arms, wondering how she could be cold after working out so hard. Maybe cold wasn’t the right word.

“Good morning love.”

Harper glanced up to see that the sweet tone was owned by Brandy-Asteria.

Brandy had finally awakened and lazily wandered towards the kitchen for a drink when she heard Harper on the balcony and stopped in the doorway. Her observant eyes smiled at her tired wife who sat on the ground with her legs sprawled before her. Harper assumed she must be a terrible sight with her sweat slickened skin and knotted bun loose with tangled tresses.

But Brandy didn’t seem to care. She was never critical of such things. More often than not she admired these imperfections, especially Harper’s imperfections.

Her short figure towered over Harper who was still sitting on the ground of the balcony with her glass of water. The suns filtering through the balcony bathed Brandy’s soft pale skin in gold and her face took on a childlike innocence that made Harper warm instantly again. The whole apartment lit up at this hour.

However, she did eye the worried lines on her wife’s face with concern which she hid carefully behind a smile.

“Good morning beautiful,” Harper attempted a tired smile. She set the glass on the floor and moved to stand up. Brandy reached a hand out from under the cloak of her sleeve, which Harper happily took to stablize herself. Their hands remained linked after Harper stood.

Brandy’s nightshirt was a size too big and Harper wondered if it were hers by the way it seemed to swallow up her figure. The tips of her fingers could barely be seen peaking from the sleeves and her long auburn waves tossed over one shoulder cradled her freckled right cheek. Under that swath of fabric was a whole map of colorful old earth art pieces tattooed to her skin. Harper’s favorite was the one titled “Starry night” a beautiful blue painting of the stars which stretched over one of Brandy’s shoulders. It was a very Brandy kind of thing, which is obviously why Harper loved it so much.

They grinned at each other without cause. The shorter woman gravitated toward her partner until Harper lovingly wrapped her arms around her, resting her chin on her head.

“Must have been an intense workout session,” Brandy noted. She had never seen Harper sitting on the ground after training like that, and looking like someone had just slapped her. When the two broke apart Brandy looked at her with worry sinking into her eyes.

In Harper’s usual fashion, she averted her eyes as soon as the uncomfortable topic was broached.

“Yeah…” she trailed off. Brandy paused but Harper didn’t continue.

“Those simulations freak me out. Too realistic. You should turn them off if they’re getting you worked up. I’ll make you something to get your mind off of it.”

Brandy took Harper’s strong hand in her own and dragged her towards the kitchen. They passed the large mirror on their left, beside the living room quarters.

As she was staring at the mirror, Harper’s eyes widened at her reflection. She noticed her skin was like fire. It glowed a subtle red. She was the one with the aura. Not the woman in the simulation, a woman who looked straight at her, as if she were real.

Goosebumps formed across her skin at the eerie revelation. The strange thing was she couldn’t feel the aura at all. Sometimes that happens if a feeling is subconscious.

Harper felt Brandy’s hand loosen from hers. Her wife had led them to the kitchen where the officer absentmindedly took a seat at the barstool.

She could hear the door to the balcony automatically close, as if the incident with the simulation had never happened. JENIE drew down the double shades to protect them from the bright sunlight, covering the balcony doors completely. Harper’s thoughtful eyes still locked on them in.

“How did the case go?”

Brandy’s muffled voice came from the cupboard she was riffling through. It tore through Harper’s silent questions, which provided her a much need escape.

“Oh you know politics…” Harper cleared her throat, “they never get anywhere. Same with political cases it seems, vice senator candidate Signus-Myles was shot in the LD. No witnesses, surveillance cams disabled by punks long ago. Although we did pick up one thing last night.”

The redhead hummed in question as she removed some dishes and then traveled to a different glass walled cupboard to find the day’s nutrition packets. Monday is the day they get the flavorless rations. Harper cringed involuntarily. If she had a raise they could at least be eating C flavor quality. Brandy insists that flavorless is better for their health, but Harper thinks her wife is just trying to be optimistic.

“Well there was a piece of evidence which indicated connections to the Interplanetary Radicals—“

“Those terrorists?”

“Mhm,” Harper responded half paying attention. She decided to busy herself by waking up the holorider from hibernation to hear the morning news, no doubt headlining the incident. She pressed a button at the top of the large white rolling screen and adjusted its height. It sputtered to life to show a guide of current newscasts. Harper selected the Central and Lower District station.

“Gee Harper that’s kind of scary…I mean what if they come after you? Your name isn’t being thrown around with this case is it?”

The officer looked up from the holographic device as it fluttered to the newscastors in their mandatory broadcast station.

“What? No! No, no you have nothing to worry about. This is pretty covert because of the election. You’ll see when they mention it on the news. Besides they wouldn’t go after me. They’d go after my boss!” she chuckled and gave her wife a half smile over her shoulder.

“It’s on” she mumbled, turning up the volume. Brandy-Asteria finished setting the synthetic bread inside the countertop cooking chamber.

She came to sit with her wife and opted to sit in Harper’s lap rather than the other barstool which made Harper blush. The officer pulled her arms around the red head’s waist and rested her head against hers, taking a deep breath which balanced her.

“Last night in the Lower District a member of the 800 was killed. Candidate Vice Senator Signus-Myles 800, authority of the Central and Lower District, was found shot in the head outside of the Cosmo Night Club. Police suspect the prospective vice senator was mugged and killed. Further information about the case shall develop in the next several days. The candidate senator Celest-Pedro is being monitored by extra security personnel as a security precaution.”

She kissed Brandy’s neck and gently squeezed her.

“Nothing to worry about see?”

“Yeah for now…” Brandy mumbled but smiled at her regardless.

She’s beautiful when she smiles, Harper reflected.

“Besides. I’m 99% sure that piece of evidence found at Signus-Myles’s apartment was a fake. It was phonier than the newscasters new hair style,” she gestured at the triangle shaped high fashion monstrosity.

“The 800 have ridiculous notions of beauty that’s for sure,” Brandy laughed.

Brandy would know since she worked as an art curator for the 800. Harper could tell she was wondering how the person achieved the perfect geometric shape. It was truly a masterpiece of architecture. Perhaps wires were involved.

“I don’t know how you can stand working with those people. I have nothing against them, but they can sure be annoying,” Harper scrunched her nose.

Brandy laughed, “You have nooo idea. A lot of patience is involved.”

Harper snorted in agreement. The shorter woman shifted on Harper’s lap until she was facing her. The officer instinctively smiled at her lips, and when the woman wrapped her arms around the brunette’s neck she hoped it would lead to a kiss, but it didn’t. Such a tease.

“What makes you think the evidence is fake?” her forehead wrinkled in question.

Harper sighed, not really wanting to discuss the case.

“It’s too obvious. What assassin plants evidence intentionally in the home of their next hit? I mean maybe if it’s a set up”.

“But…who’d do that?” Brandy laughed, “Who else would even have a motive?”

“Beat’s me babe. That’s why we have a whole team working on it.”

“Could it be like a scorned lover who frames the radicals?”

I laughed at that “That’s very poetic and elaborate Brandy. The scorned lover of Signus-Myles.”

“People do wild things for love sometimes,” she whispered teasingly, this time kissing Harper’s jaw.

“Oh do they?” she replied amused. Harper ran her fingers through her red waves and pushed them behind her ear. She took the opportunity to pull Brandy closer, wrapping her body around her, and kissing her lips.

WHOOOeeee WHOOOeeee

Harper nearly dropped Brandy off of her lap as alarms rang throughout the apartment, red lights flashing on all the walls.

“SAFETY HAZARD. POTENTIAL FIRE. SMOKE DETECTION IN KITCHEN.” JENIE shouted in a loud voice, uncharacteristic of it.

Brandy pulled the synthetic bread from the cooking chamber just before it had been entirely charred. It looked like a brick, a black brick. JENIE opened the doors and windows to let out the smoke and Harper wandered over to the other side of the counter to assess the damage.

Brandy looked disappointed but the officer couldn’t imagine why. It’s not like the flavorless lump had much potential anyways.

“It was only supposed to be in for a minute…”

“Don’t worry about it love. We can find some energy chips for breakfast,” Harper shrugged, “Besides I needed a step stool for my closet and I’m pretty sure this could do the job—“

Brandy punched her playfully in the arm and laughed.

A few minutes later they were crunching on the energy chips, which wasn’t a bad consolation considering they were B grade flavor, even if they weren’t very filling. While they ate they finished the mandatory broadcast on the holorider which played the news on a loop. Even as they disposed of their utensils in the recycling sterilizer the holorider followed them, hovering around the kitchen and extending to standing height.

The same triangle head newscaster was speaking. They were not Harper’s favorite of the crew but it didn’t matter.

“There is a chance we could experience a geomagnetic storm in the next three days leading to possible blackouts across the city as well as the Outer Limits and Valley areas. Make sure your back up generators have run recent updates to prepare for the storm.”

“A new breaking story: The Wolfman has adapted for a third time today while taking down smugglers on the east side of Central District. Officer Tye-Nianzu 4.53 is the fastest adapting combat officer to date, reaching headline news for the first time just five months ago. He is signing autographs and taking pictures with fans at Station 4 all day tomorrow. His new abilities are not yet announced to the public.”

The broadcast cut to scene of the officer flexing shirtless, exposing the elaborate wolf tattoo on his chest. Tye-Niansu had a stone cold face, his dark almond eyes warm but tempered to be unwavering. His lips formed a straight determined line. He unsheathed his glistening butterfly knives from his back and posed in some of his signature martial arts moves.

Harper instinctively rolled her eyes. Brandy noticed. She already knows exactly what her wife was thinking.

Harper was never a fan of the arrogant celebrity combat officers. They were all for show. As far as Harper was concerned, adaptions shouldn’t be the determining factor of a successful officer.

But maybe I am biased, she considered, when I fight in combat, it’s with a partner and we both pull our weight. You can’t adapt that way.

The newscast switched to a clip of Tye-Niansu as he scaled a ten story building by bounding between two buildings. The way he moved was so calculated yet effortless that it almost made Harper uneasy. She would be lying if she said she didn’t desire that kind of ability and strength in her combat. She continued to marvel at the officer even as the newscaster moved to the next story.

“Riots continue to break out in the Central and Lower Districts and are expected to escalate leading up to Election Day. You have been warned to avoid the following streets 25th and Lazuli, 29th and Tianlong. More warnings to updated in the next hour.”

“Officer Cleon-Abdu is the third high ranking combat officer to go missing in the past three months…”

Harper was no longer listening to the newscast. Brandy was back on her lap picking up where we they left off before the alarms and Harper only had an hour before work. She didn’t want to waste a single moment with her.

…

Harper left the apartment 45 minutes later and took the elevator to the top floor where the skyway bridge connected the building to the skytrain. She slipped a hood over her head and attached it to the holster which had she snapped across her chest and thighs. She tightened the leg strap that held her titanium knife set on her left side, and the leg strap on her right that holstered the digifiler. All of these were hidden behind her long sleeveless overcoat which ended at her knees. It was so dark blue people often mistook it for black until they studied it closer. Rank patches on the chest conveyed her status as a combat officer, and an empath.

It was lightly raining outside. Rain was a guilty pleasure of hers. There was something emotional in it which spoke to her empathic side.

Harper looked up.

The sky was one thick gray cloud pouring its tears onto the city. Her eyes fluttered shut and the rain soaked into the skin of her face and exposed arms, cleansing her of the dirtiness of the city.

It was sensitive and beautiful and it seemed to have a life of its own.

The world takes on a new light when it’s raining. Everything is made different, Harper decided.

She stood halfway down the glass skyway bridge, watching the wet city glowing underneath her feet. Others from settlement 2 walked with her in a tide of people on their way to work throughout the city. They wore hats, hoods, and umbrellas over their faces, some pale as Brandy and others olive tan with dark shining hair.

Standing amidst these people Harper felt a burdening loneliness which she carefully cloaked with professional poise. These people didn’t belong to one another anymore. They had all been transformed into orphans like her after the Settlement Wars.

Harper was all for rebuilding their life in the city, yet she couldn’t help but feel they had all lost something essential.

But what if culture is like the biocrystals, its living and it adapts. And it becomes stronger only when the people have.

When she looked around at the people stepping with the same strides towards the skytrain platform, wearing the same standard suits and speaking the same language dialect, bedraggled and impoverished, she didn’t exactly see strength.

Harper pondered these deep political theories as the skytrain sailed toward Station 3 further into the city and she realized she could barely remember stepping from the bridge platform to the train.

She was swept up in her thoughts for the second time that morning. Perhaps the rain was to blame.

Her heart skipped a beat, as she watched the rain drops run down the grey window panes of the train. She pinched her hand hard to remind herself not to get lost her thoughts, a dangerous pastime for officers.

Remember training. Breathe. Ground yourself. I am in the moment. I am here. I am sitting on the skytrain on the way to Station 3. I am Officer Harper-Nyx 2.53…The officer repeated stubbornly, a deep frown set into her features.

The feeling of the uncomfortable plastic seat beneath her brought her back to reality quickly.

Better.

Something dangerous happens when officers get lost in themselves. It is referred to as “breaking”. When officers break, they lose control over the crystal implanted inside them. It can kill them, and it can be a threat to anyone in their general vicinity. She had already gotten lost twice that morning, the first time during her training simulation. Harper knew that if she broke, the whole train could be obliterated. She winced at the thought and maintained control from that point on.

She kept her face close to the window to focus on the scenery. The train passed nightclubs, which were boarded up and dark until at least 1000 hour. During the day they were eerie spaces covered in sigils and old settlement gang graffiti. Sometimes vagrants slept in the seedier places until night. That Cosmo place where Signus-Myles 800 was shot was one such club. The poor who slept there might’ve had a motive to go after Signus-Myles, mostly because of the vice senator’s position on the economic disparity. Harper made a mental note of that.

They had already interviewed the club owner and the clubbers who had been there at the time of the murder, those who weren’t intoxicated with inebriating drugs that is. However, any day time occupants had yet to be contacted.

The train didn’t pass over the Cosmo club until further along the route, past Station 3. If she was approved for it, she would go down there after logging in to work.

Harper started scanning the train without realizing it, her mind on fire with glowing auras. There was a lot of gray among the passengers. There were a few oranges among the 800’s towards the front. There was a faded red in front of her, probably nervous about a new job.

Harper saw signatures as kind of a game. She tried to guess why people were gray with unhappiness, why they were orange with pride.

It was interesting to read people.

Sometimes people asked the officer how that kind of ability could be used in combat.

Harper had a simple answer. Emotional signatures worked similar to heat signatures. She could see a target in a building thirty floors up.

The rest was just plain and simple skill. Harper ran a thumb over the edge of one of her blades to check its sharpness.

She entered the enhanced officer training program at age 15. When she left four years later, she was a new person entirely. To be approved for training you had to take a mandatory compatibility test. All of the children in the Future Generations program were required to take it when they turned of age.

It was a series of tests that analyze reflexes, cognition, and the ability to maintain control during altered states of consciousness.

Harper passed with flying colors and entered phase two of the test.

Harper traced a scar on her wrist with the tip of her finger. It wasn’t noticeable anymore, but whenever she read a signature a blue flash glowed in the veins of her arm, lighting blue race tracks up her forearm.

Phase two was the crystal implementation stage. It was a minor but painful surgery that resulted in weeks of disorientation and panic. The symptoms could be severe at times, but unless they passed the two month period the program staff didn’t seem to care about complaints of fever and spotted vision.

If you survived that stage you were officially interned into the training program.

The abilities develop with time and combat training. Harper was three months into her combat training when she first started to see auras. She was a good knife thrower before then, and not too bad at hand to hand combat, but after the auras it became infinitely easier. She threw knives before the target rounded a corner towards her.

She almost never missed.

Harper smirked, Tye-Niansu my ass.

The officer turned to stare absentmindedly at the crowd of glowing colors when she noticed a child. She blinked and looked again.

Children weren’t very common to see. In fact it was a downright rare observance.

Apparently the other train passengers were well aware of the child’s presence because they only half casted curious glances in the child’s direction.

Harper openly stared.

The child was probably nine years old, with a mentor bot beside them and a pass for the library gripped tightly in their hand. They sat straight up like a rail, hair pristinely combed into a tight knot required of all children.

They must have been allowed out from the Future Generation federal council compound to go on a personal outing. They would have to be very obedient to achieve a reward like that. Not even Harper acquired that as a child. She had been caught too many late nights sneaking around the compound with Brandy, and then she left for officer training before she could make up for it in her marks.

This child was on Harper’s left, slightly behind her.

The subject of her gaze looked up to her suddenly, their lips a perfect line, their eyes empty, uncaring.

Harper’s breath hitched.

They didn’t have an emotional signature. It was as if they were soulless, as soulless as the bot that cared for them.

Harper spun around abruptly to look forward again, her back pressed harshly into her seat. Her hands trembled.

She didn’t look at the child again.

Soon after they arrived at her destination.

“CENTRAL DISTRICT STATION 3 ARRIVAL. PLEASE UNBOARD FOR STATION 3,” Shouted the automated speaker.

“NEXT STOP CENTRAL PLAZA.”

The empath waited for people to file out of the train. When the line reached her she stood up to move towards the door. Abruptly something jarred her as it smacked into her shoulder with harsh impact. Harper felt her heartbeat speed up as adrenaline kicked in. It was an involuntary fight or flight response that was triggered for anyone who had experience in the field.

She swung to face the assailant as they traveled in the opposite direction.

“Hey!” Harper shouted, her violet eyes transforming into a plum with anger.

Through the line of passengers behind her, preparing to leave the train, she could see a person with a long pale blue ponytail walking quickly towards the back.

“Hey you! I’m an officer!” she shouted, jerking towards their direction as if to pursue them.

The stranger looked behind their shoulder at her, skin dark tan and eyes a natural green. They shuffled so quickly through the crowd of standing people that Harper didn’t have a chance to catch them before the train left. The line behind her looked exasperated at her stalling and soon it was lighting up with red signatures.

Harper didn’t let things like this go easily, but necessity required it.

“Damn rude!” she muttered to herself and turned back to the front in annoyance. She stepped out of the train finally.

Even as she walked from the platform to the elevator she steamed with bitterness. She would have liked to get ahold of that person’s ID.

They even saw her rank patches on her officer’s overcoat.

It was probably intentional, she thought accusingly.

The officer stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for level 7, which is where she reports.

Level 7 was a hoard of people.

The news of the previous night’s case had caused turmoil among council employees, protestors, and frantic investigators working to put together pieces of evidence.

All had decided to congregate with their various issues on this floor which proved to be a messy environment to navigate through. The officer’s in their matching blue overcoats rushed like fluttering birds from one of the 800 exhibits within the shiny white caged walls of the station.

Harper stepped onto the floor and maneuvered down the main hallway, keeping her head high but locked straight ahead to avoid attention from the flock of council administrators requesting reports right and left from every officer they encounter.

All she wanted was some space to breath and to login to her shift in the prepatory room. It was at the end of the hall behind a large chrome door.

Her strides were long and created a echoed stomping with the standard police boots that she wore. The sound was painted over with shouting voices, the whirring of bot secretaries, and the chiming sounds from the various devices the administrators brought.

As soon as she reached the door, she showed her eye to the glowing retina scanner. The metal slid open from the right side and she entered.

The prep room was a cross between a longue and an armory.

The main section of the room was wide expansive space where white armchairs and stools sat in rows of concentric circles. On the right wall huge windows cast natural light onto the space and the center circle where a hologram was positioned to issue reports and tasks to awaiting officers.

On the opposite side of the longue was the equipment room, or armory, where officers stored and replenished their weapons and armor under the surveillance of the keeper.

Harper took a seat at one of the inner chairs in the longue first. She unbuckled her digifiler and unlocked it. Her eyes lingered on the “Log in button”.

WELCOME HARPER-NYX 2.53

It responded with the banner message.

“Officer Harper-Nyx 2.53,” the holographic image of the chief officer appeared in front of her.

“Yes Misc.,” Harper saluted.

The chief wore a tight black and silver jumpsuit, an indication of their rank. Their hair was worn in shoulder length dreadlocks, a personal choice that would not be tolerated by the federal council for much longer.

“I thank you for your commitment to the Signus-Myles 800 case yesterday, however, you will not need to continue work on that particular case any longer. We will had it over to federal council special investigators—“

“What? But Misc. I—”

Harper attempted to protest despite her better judgement. The chief held up their hand sternly.

“We appreciate you’re continued desire to help, Officer Harper-Nyx 2.53, but the federal council is a better fit for this situation. You and officer Ezra-Charon 2.53 have been assigned to a riot control.”

“Riot control Misc.?” Harper questioned in a skeptical tone.

“Riot control measures are being enacted by order of the council. Armor up and read the full assignment on your digifiler.”

The chief finished the brief message without further explanation.

Then suddenly the chief paused. Harper waited for whatever ponderance they had to be spoken. When the chief did speak, they spoke slowly and with a lowered tone.

“Have you broke today officer?”

“Broke?…” Harper felt her body flood with anxiety. Somehow the chief could see things that didn’t seem possible. Perhaps it had to do with their enhancement abilities. Harper realized she didn’t even know what the chief’s abilities were, since they had been out of combat position before she entered the force.

She couldn’t lie. No matter how much she wanted to.

“I’ve struggled today to maintain control of my emotions and my consciousness,” she admitted. Her shoulders falling slightly in shame. The chief frowned, wrinkles of disappointment showing in their dark forehead.

“But I’ve been doing the grounding exercises and ever since I have regained my discipline,” she supplemented.

The chief was silent. No expression showed on their face for a full minute.

“We must have you in control if you are to enter a riot environment in the civilian space. Am I clear?” they commanded authoritatively.

“Yes Misc.” Harper bowed her head.

“Honor be with you, Officer Harper-Nyx 2.53,” the chief spoke with finality, ending the message to her before switching to other assignment updates and station announcements.

Harper let out a deep sigh. She wasn’t satisfied with the assignment, one because she hates riot control, and two, because she had just been planning her case follow ups.

The officer retreated into the equipment room silently, head held high despite her internal sulking attitude.

Heiger-Melo 9.49 stood at the door and greeted her upon entrance. They were a charismatic individual with large attentive eyes and a wide mouth which was curled into a permanent smile, so that even their frowns appeared as contentment. Their tight curled hair was shaved into starbursts across their scalp. When they blinked you could see the makeup applied meticulously to their eyelids, two overlapping squares, one of pink and the other orange.

“Salutations Harper-Nyx 2.53. What can I equip for you this morn?”

Harper set her left palm against the podium and cast her eyes the officers gearing up with riot attire, masks, high boots, arm pads, barriers, heavy canvas jumpsuits, and an arsenal of class 1 and 2 deterrents strapped to them.

Harper quirked her eyebrow at the armory supervisor.

“What do you suppose?” she quipped half-jokingly and half in agony.

“I’ll get your riot gear together in a half-fly!” they responded in their settlement 9 dialect, a dialect soon to die out with the appearance of all the upcoming council mandates. They disappeared around the corner to assemble her equipment.

“And a fresh sharpened blade set too!” She added.

Educate yourself. Reading books is a great way to keep your mind exercised as you work towards your self-improvement goals. You can find classic books on the subject of self-help, but even reading books about your country's history or your favorite hobby can do wonders. Not only will you gain knowledge, but your mind will also remain sharp.

Share your knowledge with others. Don't hold back information that others can use to better their lives. Be selfless with information and allow those around you to prosper right alongside you. When you show others that you are willing to share what you know, they will reciprocate by sharing what they know with you, and everyone will benefit.

Trying to improve as a person? Always remember to take pride in what you do. Perhaps your job is not really what you wanted to do, but you should still work just as hard, so you will feel satisfied about accomplishing something. You should be able to tell yourself you are 'good, perhaps even the best' at what you do.

Do your best to develop your critical skills. It is a good thing to store knowledge, but you should also work on judging this knowledge for what it is worth. Do not read books or watch movies, and adopt the critics' point of view. You should always develop your own opinion, even on trivial things.

When it comes to personal development, make sure that you completely understand everything that you are reading about and hearing from others. This is important because without truly knowing the meanings of this advice, you may either miss the message entirely or you may misinterpret it for something else.

One of the best ways that you can do to properly develop your personality is to identify your principles. It is important that you have correct principles because this greatly affects your attitude and how you look at things. The deeper you improve on these things the easier it would be for you to develop a positive personality.

As you can see from the previous list of tips, helping yourself can really make a difference in the overall quality of your life. It takes a lot of work, a lot of battling personal bad habits, and tons of patience, but it is all worth it in the end to live a happier, healthier life.
