"I suspected as much.  I'm sure you've realized by now that empty platitudes like that don't mean much on their own.  One thing I can say she's neglected is your forethought, take a look.", Ciarán said as he pulled up footage from the exercise on the monitor, showing from different angles how many close calls Jetta had; it was nearly every takedown. "If this wasn't on the lowest difficulty, you would have been caught after your first attack.  You were also pretty cavalier about going for killing blows; even though you knew the androids, I was hoping you would treat them as though they were alive.  You shouldn't need to go for the killing blow unless absolutely necessary, and for these idiots, it certainly wasn't.  These things can be fixed, but they need time, patience, and discipline.  And you'll only get them under my instruction."

"Let me be clear: I'm not offering to train you out of pity, as a favor to Wolfe, and sure as Hell not a favor to your mother, I'm offering because I see so much potential within you, that right now, is not being properly tempered.  I'm not an easy taskmaster.  I'll push you further than you've ever gone before, and then go even further than that.  Every single day you'll want to quit, but I promise, if you stick with it, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.  I've learned from some of the best in the world, and every bit of that knowledge is passed on to my students.  Striving for perfection is unrealistic, but I strive for mastery, which in its own way, is even harder."

"I know it's a lot to ask of you, and I wouldn't think any less of you if you decide it's not for you.  You don't want my training?  Then walk out the door right now, no hard feelings.  But if you stay, you will follow my instructions to the letter, and you will not complain about my methods.  So, what do you think?"
