"That's unusual... This shouldn't be possible." Harod said, a deep frown forming on his face.
Frost blinked.
"What?"
Harod finally looked away from the interface.
"You should have an affinity."
Frost pointed upward.
"Well, according to your machine, I don't."
"I can see that."
"Then maybe the machine is broken?"
"No."
Harod looked at the readings again.
"The assessment array is functioning correctly. Your general talent was measured without issue, and everyone else's affinity assessment has produced consistent results."
Frost frowned.
"Then maybe I'm just incredibly unlucky?"
"No."
Harod slowly folded his arms.
"You misunderstand. When I say this shouldn't be possible, I don't mean that lacking an affinity is merely rare. I mean it should not be possible."
That wiped the faint mockery from Jason's face.
Jennifer stepped slightly closer.
"Why is that?"
Harod remained quiet for a moment, seemingly organising his thoughts.
