[WP] Most species, at this point in their intelligent, social evolution develop some empathic or psychic capabilities.

[WP] You have a very unique and subtle power. Everything that is scared, lost, lonely, or feeling small innately trusts you and comes to you: be it dog, child, bird, or octopus. Humbled by this precious gift, you vowed never to take advantage of anyone or anything with it. Until today.	52

[WP] Your job is taxiing aircraft for departure via light command on an aircraft carrier. The highlight of your day is interacting with the pilots, even remote drone operators give you a wing wag- but not the AI craft. They are unnerving with their dead silence. But today, one “winked” at you.	48
[CW] Tell a “modern” story in the literary style of the bible (or another religious text you are familiar with)	48
[WP] In your military unit, you’ve made friends with The Extraordinary Soldier. The sort of warrior who wanders out alone and comes back with the enemy general. Which happened once. But you are the sort of warrior who gets caught in your own trip wire, and they keep trying to bring you along.	48
