"I was only a kid when the monster hunters found me. They took me under their wing, and I began my studies as an Enlightened Scientist of the Technocracy. Karen took me under her wing - one of those rare NWO types who knew a cup of coffee and some comforting words could work just as well as a mindwipe. Her unit did paranormal investigations and got rid of problem RDs. It feels so weird saying that now. I was supposed to decide which convention to join, but I never got beyond being what your would call an acolyte. I got a pretty well rounded education there, and I met several good friends. Technocrats are normal people, which is what makes them so damn scary. People who actually believe they are doing the right thing are the worst enemies."

"I don't know WHAT we did that got someone angry, but it must have been crazy evil stuff. My entire team - my friends for years - found themselves on the wrong side of a plasma cannon. At that point, I did something I had never done before - I tried to will a defense into being just like an RD. What did I have to lose? I had cast my first spell, and amidst the charred corpses of my friends I remained alive. That will haunt me forever... After I left the scene, I knew I could never go back. I was a Reality Deviant, and I was technically dead. The only people I could turn to were the so-called Traditions of magic. You guys and gals, in other words. I still have some trouble with the whole magick thing, so please be patient with me. I'd like to learn how you do reality manipulation - my mentor has showed me some of the Electrodyne laws, and I'm trying to use them with the laws of Enlightened Science that I have used for so long. Someday I'd like to see us helping Sleepers and stopping monsters again, but that will take some work...

"By the way, I have a friend who helped give me a new life. I wasn't called Derek back then. Think of it like the Magickal Witness Protection Program. We shouldn't have to worry about the Ivory Tower coming after me more than you. He does ask me for favors now and then - he took a big risk to cover my tracks.
