Stormwind, some of us like to turn our wires off because sometimes the
reflexes hear a shoe scrape on gravel and say "draw firearm, take cover,
lay down suppressive fire" and it's hard work to suppress that response.

How do you spot a samurai in a crowd? Set off some firecrackers and see
who moves fastest.

Speed can count against you sometimes.]<<<<<

anyone who's wired without a reflex trigger is going to mow a lane through
whatever's in betweeen him and the firecrackers, be it inanimates or people.
That's what's considered unproffesional. Best way is to have an assensing
magician take a peek at the crowd and mark the one's who have "grey" auras.
If it's noisy, just observe; the one's who jump at every loud sound or seem
particularly edgy are wired. Keep in mind though, that it only seems to be
wired systems that kick in the automatic response; everything else seems more
keyed to getting the message from the brain to whereever that much faster.
Reaction Enhancers do this, and they're real wiz.]<<<<<
