	“Plans change for tomorrow morning. The Warrior Core has suspended my rank. I was here almost a thousand years ago and by all laws of the core my Rank was still valid. But back in the day I won a dozen championships and refused to screen for gladiator. The money was better fighting as a Rank Warrior. None of them could really touch me. But now that reputation has crawled out to bite me. The Warrior Core has suspended my card. The Lord Gladiator's Association has invited me to an open screening. That means I can screen for what ever rank I deem suitable.”		“Plans change for tomorrow morning. The Warrior Core has suspended my rank.
