* AttackBackfire: The rules of the System require rewards proportional to effort and achievement. So every time the System makes an unsuccessful attempt to kill Matt, by sending challenges that should be too much for him, it then has to handsomely reward him for his success. To add injury to insult, each attempt costs the System part of its energy supply, which is very limited due to Gaia being dead.
