Hm. I think I've already covered most of what you'll need to know as a new Grunt. Oh-- the weird weekends. I should apprise you of those.

And for the space of a weekend, we're ourselves again, with more or less our proper capabilities. [Except they still can't kill anyone, evidently. Which is a pity.] You won't know when. None of us will. But you should keep in mind that it will happen at some point.
