Setting question: Combat training. How does it work? I'm assuming after those VR shenanigans they're going back to the old-fashioned method, for the time being. Do our characters train alone or in groups? Are there tiers of difficulty, or are the training groups arranged by weapons type and the characters competitively scored? Do they physically shoot or hit training dummies? Robots? Or each other?

Also, if they've fixed the VR system instead, how does that work?
