The Science of Psionics, Wednesday
"This will be your last class before the finals," Kerrigan said, radiating apathy. "I'm not going to ask you to write essays or come up with group projects or presentations. Study. Next week, there's a test."
And her last chance to get some useful ideas out of these kids before she took off for Koprulu once again.
"These past few months, we've been discussing the nature and the science of psionics. Multiversally, it is not a field that can be easily cordoned off. You have all seen things, done things that don't fall within the scope of what I've taught you in these classes. So the question I pose to you today to consider is 'what are psionics, and what can we do with them?'. That is, after all, the central question of this course."
Unless you asked Kerrigan honestly, in which case the central question was 'how can my students help me devour the galaxy and then possibly the multiverse', but hush.
"It's the mind in communication with the outside world," she said, "It is a terrifying weapon. It is who some of us are. It is a tool. It is a science. It is a magic. It is something in ourselves that allows us to reach out and alter the world around us, observe more closely, make fuller use of the potential input and output. It can burn worlds and heal minds. It is power, and if you don't comprehend that yet, it's about time that you do."
Her eyes flicked over the class. "Some of you will go on to do great things with this power," she said, "Some of you won't. Some of you don't have it. But the possibilities are endless - and they start with how you define the field, and what you plan to do. I suggest not standing by idly, children."
The smile on her face was not particularly nice.

Re: Listen to the Lecture
He was pretty sure none of his ideas would work, but it was worth trying, right?
