Seventh Mind Read - Getting Down to Business

[Having finally having had a chance to speak with Fred about his plans for Cerebro, Charles figures it's high time he spoke with his other potential assistants. He knows it's a big project, but it'll be well worth everyone's time in the long run. Sitting out on the roof, Charles clears his throat a moment, before writing a filter into his journal.]

Of course. Everything's still in the planning stages, but once we have a firm blueprint of the device itself, you're welcome to have a look at it.

I was first introduced to Cerebro in my world, it's a device that was constructed by a student of mine for amplifying and broadcasting telepathic abilities, specifically for the purpose of locating others like myself.

It is possible to use the device for nefarious purposes, if that's one's aim. For example, if a telepath with the necessary self-control was to concentrate hard enough, they could potentially kill every person within the device's range.

Obviously, the list of telepaths I've identified with the necessary discipline to use Cerebro properly is a fairly short one. Myself, obviously, the two Doctors, and possibly Lady Galadriel. The few other telepaths in Paradisa don't possess the discipline to control their telepathy enough to even activate it, and if they tried, they would likely severely injure themselves in the attempt. A security system of some sort could be incorporated into the design, to prevent anyone from using it should they be under the effects of a loss, or someone not trusted by the Peace Patrol. I wouldn't even entertain the idea of building the machine without these measures.
