[TheForge] Mastermyr - Fire Grid

The mark is done, but to my chagrin it was not M2 as I was lead to
believe. It *may* be S7. At any rate, air quench produced bupkis
in terms of harness. Water quench helped, but it is still nowhere
near hard enough to withstand the abuse a touchmark must endure.
Would anyone like to take a crack at it? The next logical step is
brine, and to be honest, I am not sure my stomach's up to it. Anyone
able to marquench in a salt pot? I know if I try it, it will wind
up in then pieces at the bottom of the quench medium.

Angel looks down at him and says, �Oh, pretty boy,
Can't you show me nothing but surrender ?�
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,
Taped to his chest there's the answer...
Then he cries, then he screams, saying
Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain
And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud,
Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud, and go Johnny go,
And do the watusi, oh do the watusi
