"Huh. How about specifically laser-based powers, is that something you can ask?"

Permalink

Introspecting?

Permalink

Yeah, tinker is gone now.

She continues asking things in this vein for a while, trying to figure out the boundaries of what her power considers or not acceptable parameters.

Permalink

Anything that describes the power itself works. She's got a fairly deep profile of how any power in particular actually works, and the categorization system will work with that.

Permalink

Interesting! Now for some actual power testing, how about?

Permalink

That might be more interesting.

"Come with me," she says, grinning. "I'm gonna take you to our main gym."

Permalink

Once there: "Can you get me one of your physically enhanced brutes?"

Permalink

She pulls out one matching that criteria, heavy chitinous plates over major muscle groups and physique to match.

Permalink

"How do you use it? Do you borrow its power or do you control it like a minion?"

Permalink

"Interesting! Care to show me?" She presses a few buttons on a panel and a training dummy emerges from an aperture on the ground.

Permalink

A twitch of will and the ghost starts attacking the dummy.

Permalink

She lets this go on for a few seconds, watching in fascination, then says, "Stop, that's good enough." She takes lots of notes.

Permalink

Stopping, okay. Not quite sure that there was enough there to justify that quantity of notes, but whatever.

Permalink

"Now... let's go with a thinker."

Permalink

Thinker ghost. Blank-faced with ears where its eyes should be.

Permalink

"What does this one do?"

Permalink

"Enhanced hearing. But only in line of sight."

Permalink

"Hmm, I see. And does it work on you? Does it give you the power?"

Permalink

"Not quite. I get... feedback."
