Loved Good Cop / Bad Cop ... Ferret Cop

What is with the intense creepy feeling Ms. Kelly gets from going to Mr. Granier's office, I wonder. The Eye of Li Shou, guessing that isn't good she is giving it to this guy. How does she know the place he has marked on the map is Whateley Academy, what is going on. Okay, who is he talking about cracking Whateley Academy and what he is looking for there? Granier gets more and more mysterious each time he shows up.

Waking Jimmy up from a dream like that, Tavi is lucky he only got swatted at. Hehe, having Taka as a roommate would make anyone feel almost lazy for sleeping in. Now that is a bunk bed set-up! Thinking others don't have an ounce of survival sense for how they treat Taka, if not for Taka's vow they would all be in Doyle a lot. Hehehe, love Tavi pretending he has a ray gun, so fun to watch him. Now an Elmer Fudd hunting cap, if this keeps up my side are going to be pain from laughing too hard from all the mental images.

Bwahaha, the banter between Jimmy and Tavi, priceless. And Tavi knows what Hikaru's AI really is, smart little VI.

"Done. Tavi pace car."

Determined to excel as a detective who can chase down a perp on foot, Jimmy has willpower for a kid his age. Interesting details on how hardlight projections function, wish we had them in our world. And he stumbles upon a bunch of bullies, whoa, able to put PK shells onto others, very interesting. And betting one of them is blocking a connection with security, ugh.

PK shell but able to shell someone else in addition to himself, wonder what else his PK shells can do. Tavi videoing the bullies and playing keep away with his project smartphone, bwahaha. Half meter wide beam of energy, this guy has a dangerous power and a temper. Jimmy wondering why idiots bully other students at a school like this, just doesn't make sense with what some students can do. Tavi with a sunny side up egg on his head, make it stop, my sides are hurting.

Gah, reading what he is getting for breakfast is making me hungry. Bagpipes and plaid too now, Tavi has a weird sense of humor, but I like it. Good to be able to record the encounter to prove himself innocent. Holographically map out a crime scene, dang, that would be awesome. Great, no good deed indeed, gives them video evidence of his innocence and still has to go in.

Got to martial arts on time, good, most security encounters make a kid late for class. Ah, good, gets to use GridGear to learn and record what he is taught in class. PK 4, still fairly strong. Whoa, a lot of good suggestions on how to use his VI to help him in a fight. Body slammed into the mat by Tolman, ouch. Initial slow down, then same PK 4 strength and toughness as Jimmy with his shell, yikes. And once attuned, they stay attuned, sounds good for preparing friends for future use of it on them. Having other students learn how it feels to fight as a PK and help them understand and counter them, interesting training tool.

They wasted 3 hours when they had video recordings of the event, that makes no sense at all. One of the bullies was blocking network access or something else is going on. If the kids are right and security allowed this bullying, something is seriously wrong at Whateley. Blaming Bianca's magical marking for why he is uneasy around her, sure, that is why. Only Erica and Tanya looking normal, thinking he would date any of them of they showed any interest. Yikes, threats because of Tavi's singing, poor little guy.

Sim Staff wishing him to leave his GridGear and Tavi with them, oh boy. English-Lit class and Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, in their world he could be just a baseline inventor or he could have been a mutant, no way to tell. As, Tia throwing a tennis ball against a wall and catching it. Nice ballistics system, plus Tavi is cute just watching Tia toss the tennis ball. And she hits the same spot every single time, dang.

Dang, that much accuracy to duplicate the same throw every single time with little deviation. Even from all the way in the back of the classroom she can pull off the same toss and return, that is impressive. Oh boy, all the students into it, mapping trajectories, but the teacher is back and they have to stop, darn. Jimmy and Tia having to see the teacher after class, Tia upset with him, but her accuracy has to be some sort of power, how it hasn't been detected yet is weird.

A Gen 4 Model 19 Glock, dang, that is a pistol. Knowing how all parts of his gun work, to recognize them, smart. Whoa, adopting those over regular tasers, a charge cartridge only good for 5 shots, dang. At least they can be recharged. Slower at long ranges, firing a ball of electricity, still an improvement over a taser. Rodent launcher, man, Tavi is getting teased for once. And talk of weaponizing the hardlight projections from his GridGear, yikes.

Encouraging dirty fighting tricks, yeah, Whateley Academy martial arts classes are like no other school for teens. Homework for PE classes, actually sounds more fun than some of the homework I had while in school.

Arrange some time to see how security does things, arranged through Broggy, Jimmy has some unusual friends for his age. Oh crud, recruiting people far faster than Carson would have ever vetted people, this is going to lead to trouble. Oh boy, being told they aren't police, told what security's real job is, disheartening Jimmy. If not an attack on the school or someone on a rampage, they just don't care, sure feels like that. And he is going to investigate the bullying himself.

All those things happening for an award ceremony and press event, and some idiots crash the event intent on killing the VIPs or other targets they are after. All those police and these creeps pulls this stunt, the press being idiots as well. Broggy and the cops in the precinct are good guys, Broggy coming out to get Jimmy to safety. Now that is an origin story, saving the Chief of police like that, even the last part where he hadn't learned how to remove the shared PK shell yet.

Now could the man from Mr. Granier's office have been taken out that easily, by two thugs and one shot? I doubt this is the last we have seen of him, after all the trouble he is going through to acquire something. Now how he survives this encounter is something I will be left wondering about until it is revealed.
