The Sting was what made Ronica McBride special-that, and the years the interstellar government called the Com had invested in teaching her how to use it. Class C talents could use the power called gathering to control their own bodies; the less common Class Bs used pathfinding to alter the inner workings of mechanical things; but only the rare Class A could use the Sting-and it was that unparalleled power over other minds that made Ronica the most valuable resource in the Com.
