The Science of Psionics, Wednesday

"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.

Fearfully.

You better abandon all cheating plans now.

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?

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

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

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

What is most important in psionic ethics?

Once Kerrigan says you can.

Emma, one more time.

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

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.

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.

Learning how to shield, preferably. But that psionic dampener was fairly effective all on its own.

He kind of wanted to chill out by it some more, actually.

Being aware of your different layers makes being manipulated on a psionic level more difficult.

Raven

Oh, easy.

A psi-powered computer made to locate all mutants across the face of the planet, which was simple enough because it had already been done, thank you, and psionic dampeners, meant to block the abilities of a psi.

Which he'd found himself stuffed into on occasion, as well.

Lifting, moving, and repelling objects, as well as fine manipulations. It's a fairly complicated process. In the danger shop, those without telekenetic abilities explored it using pysical cues, such as moving their hands.

... And here was the difficult question, for Jono. It took him a few minutes of just staring at the blank spot by the question before he decided to just be frank and sum it all up in one word.

Survival.

Helen Haras-Uquara

As if Helen would ever stoop to cheating!

Emma Frost

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.

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.
