You don’t know everyone else’s powers yet. That’s my job.” Marley was hard to impress, but even she would have been damn surprised if Amber had suddenly understood and accounted for all the other super powers at the Cathedral. Even Marley couldn’t do that. It was part of the reason why she had asked for Gigi’s help in acclimating new students. Even when she didn’t mean to, Gigi’s probability abilities always came in handy.<br/><br/>“We can talk more about EMPs later.” And by later, Marley meant tomorrow, or the even the next day. They sounded like they were related to magnetic energy, but it was late and she was too tired to consider the full implications that Amber was,<em>undoubtedly</em>, appalled that she didn’t already know. Marley honestly didn’t remember a time when she had studied magnetic fields, so she wasn’t sure why her lack of understanding was so shocking. Then again, Amber’s powers relied on technology, while hers… did not. EMPs were,<em>apparently</em>, a larger issue for her and the Cathedral. So they were definitely worth discussing, but not over food or rest. “Why don’t you put the live wires away, safely,” Marley cautioned, pushing her chair under the other side of the computers, “and I’ll make you a grilled ham and cheese.” Perhaps<em>two</em>grilled cheeses if the younger woman truly hadn’t eaten for that long. Marley was aware Amber hadn’t shown up for her Politics course that morning, but she had hoped that the young woman would at<em>least</em>go to Eric’s class on Chemistry afterward. Marley had only granted her a ‘pass’ on combat courses, not the other ones. How else was Amber going to meet anyone else if she stayed in the Medical Bay for… fifteen hours a<em>day</em>?<em>That wasn’t right.</em>Other students only practiced combat drills for fifteen hours a<em>week</em>. However, Marley knew that scolding Amber for not going to class wouldn’t win her any favors. So, instead of getting angry, she tried a more relaxed approach.<br/><br/>“I only expect you to devote three hours each weekday to your project. It should only take the place of your combat training, not your other opportunities for growth here.“ She clarified, knowing the Cathedral was for the benefit of the students, both in class and outside of it. She guessed Amber hadn’t been taking weekends off either. Marley walked down the hall, passing the worn out wallpaper again. She realized something else. Maybe Amber didn’t know anyone else because she hadn’t<em>tried</em>to get to know them. “Amber, I want you to answer this question honestly,” Marley stopped at the entrance of the kitchen and looked in her green eyes, earnestly. “Am I the only person you’ve spoken to today?”
