"I am Dr. Juli Mizrahi," she said once everyone had settled down, "and welcome to Ye Shall Be As Gods? For however long I am your teacher I expect to be referred to as Dr. Mizrahi, or Professor Mizrahi. All I ask is that while you are in my classroom that you treat every opinion with respect no matter how different from yours they may be. In this class there are no right or wrong answers." She paced the front of the room, steps slow and measured.

"I," Juli began, "am not here to judge you. That is not what I am here for, nor would I particularly care to do so. What you do, what you plan, is not my job to criticize. I know none of you, or your circumstances well enough to judge."

"Today, I merely want each of you to introduce yourselves, tell me what you hope to get out of this class and answer, to the best of your ability, this question: What is it that drives you to push yourself past your own limits?" She folded her hands in front of her. "Again, there are no right or wrong answers."

Juli smiled faintly, "If you’ve any questions about the course, either see me after class or stop by my office at any point tomorrow."

"I'm Zack Addy," he said. "I'm here because the last science teacher had a fixation on the idea of science being mad and it seemed this class might explore a different perspective. Pushing your limits... helps you find out what they actually are?"

"All of science is mad when viewed from another perspective," she said, "but hopefully my class will be more to your liking."

"Reach for the sky and the sky slips further from your grasp." Juli nodded, "But how can you begin to push the limits of your sky without knowing where to begin?"

Zack tended towards the literal, so he hesitantly pointed upwards.

"That's one way of answering," she said, keeping a smile off her face, "But rather, for you instead of the sky, if you don't know where your limits are how can you figure out how to push them further?"

"They made me take a lot of standardised tests when I was younger," Zack offered. "They weren't very hard."

"Have you ever taken a test that you've found more difficult than the others?" She asked, considering him.

Zack shrugged. "Not out of those ones."

"Hmmmm." Juli looked thoughtful, "What particular area of science are you interested in?"

"Forensic anthropology and engineering," Zack replied. "I'm planning to double major."

"I'm sure they'll be lucky to have you," Juli said, "what does being here do for advancing your goals towards achieving that?"

"The timeline in my home dimension is several years behind this one, which helps in getting a heads up on the latest research in those fields."
