They do, however, bear the scars of fighting their assimilated fellows. Physically present as a dull line along their left forearm where their exoskeleton was cracked open and then hastily closed with field medicine. | At ten years of age of age, Gazki is physiologically at least upper-middle-age if not an elder.
