"Counterfeiting is, fortunately, no longer likely to see the perpetrater burned alive or hung, drawn and quartered," Mohinder told the class cheerfully. "Despite the sizable range of goods and money forged today - stamps, coins and banknotes, artwork, music, as well as drugs both medical and illegal."

"It's a lucrative market and there are as many attempts to forestall copies - digital coding in music, holograms and strips in banknotes," said Mohinder, holding up a note in one hand, "As there methods for detecting fakes. Of course," he shrugged, flicking open a lighter with the other, "knowing the fake burns with a different flame," and lit the banknote, "can be less than helpful."

Dropping the note in a glass of water, Mohinder stood up and began passing out documents and parcels, summarising the details of document testing. "You'll want to take note of the details - handwriting or printing traits, stamps, postmarks, inks that don't match the rest of the document, details that are ahistorical - words that weren't yet coined, sketches of objects that didn't yet exist." He settled back at his desk, smiling, "After all, you wouldn't want to make the same mistakes."

After she pings in.

Still around after class, Mohinder was packing up paperwork and wondering why his word choice took more concentration today.

Damn season 2 for having no Powerless deleted scenes.

Blair looked over the wills. Those were definitely important to authenticate.

Adah sat quietly watching the class with a thoughtful expression on her face, propped up by her chin in her good palm. Counterfeiting. Really, it could be fairly easy if you considered the popular No it acol, no it acol, no it acol; just ask her brother-in-law.

Katchoo looked over the documents somewhat indifferently; she'd learned how to consistently sign names and produce handwriting for any false identity she cared to come up with, and she'd been forging her mother's signature on school paperwork for years, so this wasn't particularly new to her.
