Jono was looking at the images of the Protoss brain with a keen interest, today. He didn't think that he was a telekenetic, but at the same time, his power was raw psionic energy, and that could sure as hell manipulate matter outright.
Hell, there were a few parallels that she'd drawn, today and when he'd spoken with her about the Protoss before, that gave him reason to be intrigued.

It didn't count as a walk of shame when you brought a change of clothes, right? And Raven was radiating happiness and perhaps just a little smugness that morning rather than shame at all. Her date with Jono which was still ongoing and thus being HORRIBLY modded right now had gone very well last night, after all.
But somehow she managed to focus on the lecture and not think about last night and steal glances at Jono. Mostly.

Raven was going to get the mental equivalent of a spitball against the back of her head, since it was Emma's TA-ly duty to make sure she was paying attention to class.
Ugh. Teenagers with crushes. So pedestrian, and disruptive to the learning environment.

//I'm a mutant,// Jono noted, certainly not about to bother hmm-ing and mulling over whether to just out and say it. //My biology is my power. People have managed to pinpoint th'gene that causes mutations like mine.//
And like a good many other people's, whose powers were decidedly different from Jonothon's.
As for the brain question... He had no idea where to start, with that one. So he kind of fell silent and shrugged, rather than pressing on with that train of thought.

"It's the same with me," Emma agreed smoothly, picking up where Jono left off. "I believe the term I've heard on the news once or twice is homo sapiens superior, which I cannot argue with." Her lips twitched in amusement. "It's far more accurate than 'mutant menace.'"
"But our power rests in our very DNA. No one knows what causes an X-Gene to manifest, at least they don't in my time-" and she shot Jono a curious glance. "-but you either have it or you don't. You can be a latent mutant, if you haven't manifested yet - or ever - but you're still a mutant, powers or no."

At Emma's glance, Jono just gave his shoulders a shrug and shook his head. If they'd managed to figure out where it came from before, he certainly didn't know about it. And there was a part of him that didn't want them to figure it out, either. In the wrong hands, the knowledge of where it started could very well lead to people searching for a way to stem it at the source, and he really had no interest in becoming a member of an endangered species.
//There are more now,// he added, //in my time, at least, than there ever were. Mutants are manifesting more frequently. I have no idea what might cause that, either. It's hereditary, to some degree, so interbreeding between regular humans and mutants might have a hand in it, but I doubt it's anything quite so simple.//

Emma barely waited for the discussion to end before she approached Kerrigan. "The scanning," she said, gesturing to the projector. "What does it entail?"
Re: Talk to Kerriganon_her_korhalMarch 23 2011, 14:15:23 UTC
"Nothing as big and bulky as a 21st century CAT scan," Kerrigan said. She was pleased with Emma's interest and trying very hard not to purr evilly and might have even put in the effort to look the part. "You sit down, we take a small scanning device to your head, and we'll see what different uses of your power does to your brain activity."

...she just spent the weekend with Hank. It was going to take her a bit to remember her classmates weren't specimens.
