85. ice cream and things.

[christ_onabike]

Y'know. The first day of that whole thing wasn't too fucking shabby.

But, like everything else, shit goes downhill fast, don't it?

[Filtered to everyone in the infirmary. No matter of the reason.]

Right. I'm coming up with ice cream. Tubs of the stuff.

Express a flavour preference now or you're just getting whatever I pull out first.

And I

I might be able to help.

I do not want ice cream.

Then you don't have to have any. You can have a wafer without some, if you want.

[Sorry. He thinks he's funny.]

How can you help? What can you do?

Private

[emptyyourself]

I can do exactly what you're asking to do.

I'm not certain whether you'll be able to accomplish it -

[Bear with him. He just got done expending all his energy being mad at Persephone.]

When I'm released from the infirmary, we can make the attempt.

You might ask T'Pol, as well.

[christ_onabike]

What do you need to know, to know if someone can do it?

Right, I'll check with her too.

Humans as a species have latent psychic ability, so it is possible for some of them to learn basic telepathic blocks. They won't hold up against a more powerful mind, though.

Omega, Doctor Smith, and Braxiatel are all quite knowledgeable on the subject.

[Narvin will say that, yeah, there are techniques, but he's not actually offering to help, because he doesn't want to be touching any strange human's mind without more information than "it's fucking important."]

I'm fairly sure that'll be... pretty much alright. There's a kind of specific aim here, so that shouldn't be a problem either way.

So there's... Time Lord stuff that works? Huh. Is it something you guys can teach?

Not that I'm asking you, just wanna know.

Our minds are far superior and our telepathy more advanced, but the basic structures of the area of the mind governing telepathy are essentially the same as are the core concepts.

Hypothetically, a human could be taught rudimentary telepathy. The success of the endeavour would depend entirely on the psychic sensitivity of the individual.

Re: [Warden filter]

[christ_onabike]

Well, I figured there was some... timey-wimey things involved.

I don't think that last thing'll be a problem. Someone who's susceptible to being possessed is probably better at this psychic thing, right?

[Someone is high as a kite on painkillers right now and not realising that she's speaking in French.]

Noisette? Caramel au beurre salé? Pardon, c'est ne pas Berthillon. [Laugh.] Chocolat ou pistache, s'il vous plait. Merci.

[christ_onabike]

Um. Anglais? [That is BUTCHERED]

Tell you what. Chocolate. I can do that. [He knew what that one was.]

[cauchemal]

[Puzzled, and woozily:] But I parle English ... I mean I speak ... oh. I beg your pardon. The drugs ...

Chocolat. C'est bon. Merci. Thank you.

[christ_onabike]

S'alright love, I get it.

Chocolate it is.

I'm trained in psychic shielding. How effective it will be depends on what's trying to penetrate, but...theoretically it's something any human can learn.

[lol infirmary volunteer edit:]

I'm alright for ice cream, thank you.

...

But make sure Amanda gets hers.

Re: Warden Filter

[christ_onabike]

Right. I'd like to learn, if you'd teach me.

I'll make sure she does. And if you change your mind, lemme know.

Warden Filter

[hopeless_hacker]

Of course. Come to my cabin tomorrow after lunch and we'll make a start. Level 1, Room 2.

Re: Warden Filter

[christ_onabike]

Grand. I'll see you then.

Thanks a lot.

[general_chang]

Coffee. [That's like raktajino, right?]

[christ_onabike]

...you know, to say I said this as a joke, it's exceedingly popular.

[general_chang]

[Huff of amusement.] I know what coffee is.

[christ_onabike]

Never said you didn't. I just didn't think anyone liked it.
