The Culture Explores 40K III: Just As Planned

[Gavinfoxx]

What I am saying is... The Culture has probably interacted with a ton of Psychic stuff... scanned a bunch, but hasn't realized that those are psychic devices. They might see them as cultural artifacts or art or just 'some crystals that grow there' or whatever... but if they know in general that this device is designed to be psychically resonant, or is harvested for that, or whatever... that means they might be able to take a second look, you know??

It'd be just like the Eldar to say, 'In this list of several hundred technologies, materials, and animals and creatures that are found in this part of the Galaxy, there is between three and ten items on this list that have nothing whatsoever to do with Psykers, Psychic Energy, and The Warp. As soon as you understand these items well enough to explain each and every one of them and why they are on this list, and say which of the between three and ten items have nothing to do with psychic power, then you can come talk to us about this project.'

(And of course, they would expect The Culture to be back in a century or two...)

Hell, 'here is a list of things that mostly have to do with psychic power, and can't on their own cause huge problems with bringing things from the Warp into the Real when poked with a stick, and are fairly safe to experiment with' would be a huge boon to The Culture... simply getting a lot of those things, and some of their most psychically sensitive people, and a bunch of sensors all in the same place would be profoundly useful!

Also, have you read this page on Lexicanum? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/The_Assignment

I would guess that 'an average Eldar' is probably Epsilon, and 'an average Dark Eldar' is maybe 'Kappa'. The Average Tau is, well. Tau. Anyway, I would expect that it would soon become En Vogue for people in The Culture to take the various tests and see what they count as... no doubt, that some people might be surprised to find themselves as potential psykers! Even if they are potentially powerful psykers, they won't have developed psychic abilities in the short time they have been in this Galaxy where it is possible...


Also, um.. Jseah?
