 Why is Lane so child-like?
Raging , Trooper Lane hovered three thousand feet above Tammany Square. The humming paragrav-paks embedded beneath his shoulder blades held him motionless above Newyork's three administrative towers. From seven years old up, Troopers have too much to learn about fighting. Lane dropped lightly to the floor, inside the room, in battle-crouch. Tammany Hall has warned that this man is extremely dangerous. Lane is an insane killer. Lane's mailed hand snapped open a pouch at his belt. The force-bomb "exploded"—swelled or inflated, really, but with the speed of a blast. It shaded the view from his window and re-entered the tower wall just below.
 Lane was never given a proper education, only fighting instruction.
 All men are child-like.  Lane was never given a proper education, only fighting instruction.  Lane is controlled by the Cybrain. His own brain never had the chance to develop properly.  Lane has been a Trooper since he was seven years old.
