Computer Science and Repair- Tuesday- 2nd period

The class was in the computer lab today. Kitty wasn't entirely sure when people were from, so in addition to sending out an email about it, she'd also put a note on the door to the regular classroom, with instructions on how to get there because she was nice like that.

"Hey, guys," she greeted them. "Welcome to Computer Science and Repair. I'm Kitty Pryde-Barton, and I don't really care what you call me. I've got a long and storied history in this field, building and programming and accessing certain things and the like." Most of it was even legal. "Now it's my job to teach it to you. My one rule here is to only use your powers for good. I don't want you using any of this to do anything nefarious, there will be no using it to bully anyone, and I don't want the FBI calling me for any reason. Most of the time we'll be in the Danger Shop where we can play around a little more, but today we're going to start off easy.

"This is introduction week, more or less, so I want to hear your name, when and where you're from, and what your experience level is on this stuff before we get into it."

Tisarwat was still convinced that this was some sort of joke, and whoever had put together her schedule and put this class on it had the worst sense of humor she could ever imagine. Computer science and repair? Seriously?

She didn't even know where to begin.

She definitely would not begin by pointing out that she had, only a few weeks ago, completely uprooted the fabric of her entire society by essentially hacking her way into the central accesses of their highly complex aritificial intelligence systems and giving them autonomy so they could rise up against a tyrannical regime that had been using and abusing them for thousands of years.

"My name is Lieutenant Tisarwat," insert forever-handwaved house name here, "and I'm from a place called the Radch that hardly anyone here seems to have heard of. We're a highly advanced society with faster-than-light travel and complex artificial intelligence systems that are deeply connected with our day-to-day lives. So this stuff should be..."

What was the word she was looking for?

"...quaint?"

"Oh, it's definitely still interesting," Tisarwat assured the teacher with a faint smile.

In a morbidly curious, faintly bewildered sort of way.

"I'm actually really eager to learn more about how things work around here."

Hopefully enough to work her way up to developing into something even remotely civilized and useful...
