"Okay." Trains! Powerplants! From Revelation and Warp and the Andalite planet.

After they've exhausted their ideas Projection will probably need a while alone to rework literally everything.

He does not sound unhappy about this.

Epic likes him.

Silva had to be excused earlier but Dr. Lira was happy to replace him and suggest things. It looks a bit like he and Projection have a sort of a friendly rivalry about who gets to be the nerdiest.

Bounce bounce bounce bounce!!

Projection focuses on being nerdiest about implementation while Lira's more concerned with application. Eventually they run out of ideas, though, and the cape shoos them out, just in time for more bullshit power testing.

He doesn't enjoy that quite as much!

At the end of it Dr. Lira declares that they've tested everything he's been able to think of and probably have a good grasp on Epic's power. Unless he's sitting on other incredible things like the body switch, Lira says with a wry grin.

"If I am I'll tell you once I learn them!"

And then they have lunch!

At this rate he's not going to get much artifact time. 

Well they don't have anything planned for him this afternoon, he's free to do whatever in the building.

He'll do an artifact block in his room.

At the end of the afternoon there's a knock.

"Come in."

It's Doctor Ximenes again. "Hello! Did you have fun today?"

"Yeah! I'm really excited for ending scarcity."

She laughs. "Yeah, that should be fun. But we have a small matter to discuss."

"Hmm?"

"Your education."

"I'm learning lots, don't worry."

"I know, but there's still a formal requirement."

"Can I test out if I know all the things you're supposed to learn from school?"

"That would obviate some of the point of school, but not all of it. It's very important for young people, and especially young parahumans, to be around other people their age while they're maturing, and school provides a shared environment for that and training grounds for many social skills you'll need in the future."

"...so I also have to test out of social skills practice?"
