[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.]

What's the project?
((OOC: Throwing you Ray instead of Five if'n you don't mind - the Time Lord's slate is a bit busy atm, and Ray's isn't.))

Basically, it's a telepathic transmitter. When used, it amplifies and broadcasts an individual's brainwaves, and in the case of a telepath, greatly expands the range of their abilities.

Wow, that sounds great! I've worked with something like that on a really, really small scale - more like a wave scanner with digital visualization capabilities. I dunno how much help I'll be, but I'll do whatever I can!
[warning: his big scanner was a colander with K'nex and wires and things sticking out all over it, hooked up to an old Apple monitor. it was not exactly high tech]

I'm hoping to use it in case we face another foe like Legato, so that I, or one of the castle's other talented telepaths can match him in strength. My plan was to build it in the Peace Patrol's headquarters, in the interest of both working with them, and making sure that such a device has adequate security keeping it from being used by the wrong sort.
[Considering the device Hank built, it's not that much different. If all else fails, that's why Charles asked Shiki to come up with elegant designs for such a device. She may seem like an odd sort of helper for this sort of project, but Charles never does anything without reason.]

Were you not told? The castle is magic. What else is there to be curious about?

Oh, I'm well aware of the castle's magical nature, but even taking that into consideration, I'm still curious as to the actual process of it. Simply saying "magic did it" isn't a satisfactory explanation, at least not for me.

Perhaps. After all, no one was able to actually witness it happening, so there's no telling how it was accomplished. Personally, I find myself imagining the castle's ghosts acting as some sort of otherworldly moving crew, carrying all of our worldly possessions down the numerous flights of stairs to their new homes. Of course, none of the ghosts will confirm this, but it's still something to think about.

Cerebro... Right! I remember, now, that's the device we were talking about at the party! I'd love to help.

Yes indeed. Fred seems to think it possible, if a bit time-consuming to actually put together. Right now, my main concern is actually gathering the raw materials, and constructing the thing, once we get all of the science worked out for actually making it work.

Well I can certainly help with the construction, I've got plenty of tools, not to mention my screwdriver. As far as gathering the raw materials, can't you just ask the castle for what you'd need?

Even then, I can only imagine the sort of inertia the rooms might gain, speeding around the castle as they realign themselves in the optimal configuration. It could make for an interesting bit of fiction, writing of a thing like that.
