 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. Tammany Hall has warned that this man is extremely dangerous. Lane is an insane killer. A loudspeaker shouted into the room: "Come out of there, Lane, or we'll blast you out." The cannon trundled into the Square on its olive-drab, box-shaped caterpillar mounting and took up a position equidistant from the bases of the three towers. Lane's defense is a globe of energy similar to the one which protects Newyork from aerial attack."
 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.
