The Science of Psionics, Wednesday

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Today is your exam," Kerrigan said. They were seated in an ordinary classroom, with ordinary tables and chairs. At the front of the class she stood, looking strong and stoic and perfectly willing to wring a few necks if she had to. "You have the full period to finish it. If you finish early, stay seated until I tell you you can go."

No freebies, kids.

"If you attempt to cheat, I will know. If you attempt to cheat off someone, I will know. If you drift off, I will know, and in all of these cases, I will nail you to the side of the dorms in front of all of your peers."

Don't think she wouldn't. She'd done it twice just when she was human.

"Emma, hand out the exams. Class, sit down, write, and don't think too loud."

Well, you had your orders.

You better abandon all cheating plans now.

Re: Listen to the Instructions

[furnaceface]

Great. Now Jono was going to spend at least the first five minutes of the test trying not to think about being nailed to the side of the dorms.

Facepalm. Carry on.

As if Helen would ever stoop to cheating!

Emma obediently scooped up the tests and began walking up and down the rows, passing them out to her classmates, her own shields high and bright to encourage her psi-gifted classmates to do the same.

Well, that was certainly a lovely mental image to add to his collection. He took a minute to shove aside memories of the Embrace of Pain before strengthening his mental walls as well as he was able to and turning his attention to the exam.

Surely Kerrigan had to be exaggerating. Right? Right?

Raven concentrated on strengthening her shields, then put her entire focus on the exam.

Scully's immediate reaction to that threat was a mental image of shooting Kerrigan in the head.

But it passed relatively quickly as she became absorbed in the test, stopping every once in a while to hum tunelessly and very very softly.

Kerrigan may have briefly lifted an eyebrow in Scully's general direction.

(The message was clear: as if, with a side dish of you're so adorable little human.)

Exam: Science of Psionics - Q1

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

What is the psi scale? Is it at all applicable in your world? If not, what changes would you suggest? If so, where would you rank yourself?

Re: Exam: Science of Psionics - Q1

[furnaceface]

The psi scale measures the abilities of a psionic, on a scale from one to ten. It is somewhat applicable in my world, but only in certain cases, as, in the case of mutants such as myself and Emma, the scope of our telepathy can encompass very different things, potentially missing telekenesis entirely while still creating beings out of pure psionic energy.

Such as himself. He still wasn't so certain what he thought of his body essentially being a hollowed-out shell meant to contain the fiery bits.

Still, because I do somewhat fit into the scope of this scale, I would place myself at about a... Jono hesitated before putting his pen to the paper again. Nine.

No, he'd place himself at about a ten, after that stint where his body had entirely re-built itself. But that went entirely too uncomfortable to put onto paper. So, nine.

Ben was trying to maintain a line between doing well on the exam and not, well, exposing everything about his galaxy. Blame Jacen for the extra caution.

He explained the definition of the psi scale and how such a thing wasn't really codified in his galaxy, then went into a little more detail about how telekinetics, rather then telepathy, seemed to be more the prominent power there.

Exam: Science of Psionics - Q2

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

What is the best defense against a telepath? And what is the importance of the layers of consciousness?

Exam: Science of Psionics - Q3

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Name two possible applications of technology in psionics that would be workable in your world.

Exam: Science of Psionics - Q4

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Name three applications of telekinesis, and how they work. Use prior experience with either your own powers or the Danger Shop to illustrate.

Exam: Science of Psionics - Q5

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

What is most important in psionic ethics?

Leave The Class

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Once Kerrigan says you can.

Talk to the TA

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Emma, one more time.

Re: Talk to the TA

[icecoldfrost]

Emma wouldn't give anyone test answers, but if someone needed a question clarified, she could reword Kerrigan's questions without giving away the proper response.

She'd laugh at you for being an idiot, but she'd help.

Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Inquire after the nailing-people (http://fandomhighdorms.livejournal.com/1243966.html)-to-the-dorms (http://fandomhighdorms.livejournal.com/1448491.html) thing. We dare you.

Re: Talk to Kerrigan

[icecoldfrost]

"I apologize for missing class last week," Emma said, reporting to Kerrigan before class started. "I was experimenting with the use of psionics on vampires."

That was kinda what any trip to Sookie's world boiled down to, really.
