Spartans and Super Soldiers don't sound a whole lot different from what I can put together. Basically get a brand new, upgraded, body and get pointed at the bad guys. Your world sounds a little more intense though, if we're being a hundred percent honest with what I know about it.
There's always a faster fish North, but if you're telling me York's on the slow end of the spectrum, then I think we all need to start going for runs together. Back home, I don't have many people who can keep up, which I don't mind, it would just be a nice change of pace to not have to hold back quite so much.
