"May I ask, why I'm getting this special treatment?"
Brody didn't really have an answer, if he was really being honest. He hadn't wanted to take this assignment in the first place, and probably the only reason he was bothering to stay now was because he found out his charge wasn't set back due to being a slacker. Of course, he could also respect anyone who could hold their own in a fight, but he sure as hell wasn't going to give Dunham the pleasure of that information unless he graduated.
"As far as I can tell, they figure your reasons for getting set back aren't worth disqualification." He replied, "Don't think of it as special treatment, so much as a second chance."
He instructed Dunham to go get his helmet and armor; even if his hand-to-hand was well up to par (they were quite above average, actually), it was obvious by the injury he sustained that his skills conducting an arrest were flimsy. Unless he was trying to arrest a thrashing bull, he shouldn't have gotten into a position to be stabbed. It wasn't going to happen again. Both for Brody's ego as Dunham's instructor, and Dunham actually physically surviving his term as a Peacekeeper. Twenty years was a long time, and not hammering in the skills they taught at Academy was going to make for a very rough enlistment.
"Back to the gym. This time we're doing crowd control and arresting procedures. Bring your medications, whatever else you need to not die."
It's part of the reason I made a Peacekeeper, not much research needed, lol
