Or by putting a cap in the right kojak lookin' mo fo.


Hmm.. that leads me to something...  with all the pre-war emphasis on syker
assasinations, a new school of training would have been developed in order
to safeguard important people and resources.  
The syker-bodyguard, or anti-syker, or syker-hunter.

I imagine that at most, one or maybe two such individuals would have
survived the mass combats of the Last War.  But their powers would tend
towards 
A)  Detection of hostile intent - whether from a syker, sniper, or suicide
terrorist.
B)  The ability to defend a target from said threats (mostly covered under
current powers)
C)  The ability to negate the threat.  (definatly covered under current
powers).

This would lead to two new powers - intention detection (the ability to
tune into a particular set of emotions/mind set in an area - only useful
against threats that have a mind and will to use it.)
	Mental shield - the ability to provide some kind of defense to one or two
additional people.

Hmmm... that could be an adventure.  Must file with the 4 other DL related
things I'd like to write up.  :-)

Why did the chicken cross the road:

George Lucas: 
You'll have to wait for the next set of movies, 1-3, to find out the real
reason why the chicken crossed.  
The whole point of the current releases, 4-6, is the story of the chicken's
redemption crossing.
