Ye Shall Be As Gods? – Class 7, Period 3

“Realians,” Juli said, once her students were settled, “are what, in my universe, we have called our organic artificial people.”

“These ‘people’ are mass-produced and designed for specific purposes—and each model is micro-managed down to the their very basic thoughts and emotions. Their personality traits. Mind control, almost, to draw in what we talked about last class—except for one important difference. They never had any other existence.”

“Today we’ll be discussing two of the most common models that are mass-produced. The ‘soldier’ type, and the, for lack of a better term ‘secretarial’ type. What do you think the most desirable traits, and therefore the ones that are most often programmed into their existence, are? What would be the least desirable traits for these two types to have? Why?”

“How many of these desirable traits do you think an ordinary person has? Or an ordinary soldier? Secretary? Keep these questions in mind as you decide for yourselves five traits that would be most useful to have in a soldier, or a secretary. After that, split off to compare and contrast your reasoning for each trait.”

Anemone wasn't taking notes. Instead, she was trying to quietly persuade a certain stow-away Gulliver to stay in her backpack and keep quiet. She really didn't want the panduppy to become today's example of genetic engineering.

Naminé shrugged, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the assignment, but dutifully wrote a list.

1. Loyalty
2. Bravery
3. Restlessness
4. Pride
5. Anger


She wasn't sure if that was what their teacher had meant by traits, but it seemed like a fair start.

Psychic powers, force fields, phasing, replication, and transmogrification Yeeeeaaaah, Z crossed that out until there was nothing but a black scribble left on the page about as soon as she'd written it down.

1. Loyalty
2. Fearlessness
3. Obedience (ties in w/ loyalty?)
4. Strength
5. Tactical ability

Anemone boggled slightly. If you conditioned someone properly, they would function for you equally well as killer or confidant. Over specialization in one area would lead to an inability to process new data in a crisis, and result in death.

Her list, therefore, was very similar to her previous one, with just a few alterations.

Loyalty
Efficiency
Attention to detail
Improvisational ability
A need/desire for approval from their commanding officer boss

Peter was somewhat surprised that he was able to crib part of the previous list for this one, but it made some sense when he thought about it.

1) Inability to question authority.
2) Dedication.
3) The ability to lie convincingly.
4) A good memory.
5) Superior typing skills.
