	|QuestionText=help i can't believe he gets a free tour....<br><br>Thank you, this is juicy as always!! Follow up tidbits:<br><br>1. In the Uncomfortable Server Room, if he managed to put his little necromancer hands on one of those boxes before they shoo him out to the breakroom and etc., would he get any psychometry vibes? Like anyone in particular who handles these things physically on the regular beyond just moving them around, or worse, if the mystery magic has Living Energy in it...<br><br>2. Not technically a question, but he would be compelled to nudge that one guy's pragmatism into Real Human Empathy, ironically in a petty kind of way. Get empathy'd, punk.<br><br>3. can he steal a bunch of pens from the breakroom

    |AnswerText=1. They would be very concerned about him touching the equipment- and would be genuinely more concerned for him, rather than that he might break things (it <i>is</i> a concern, but one that would only trigger once they ascertained he was okay). He would be quickly shooed away from it, but Pal could still pick up on a couple things:<br><br><ul><li>A lot of hands have been on these metal contraptions. Presumably the people involved in crafting them, in putting the magic together. They haven't been touched 'recently'- as in, not since they'd been placed in this room. They seem to have been constructed elsewhere, and carried fully formed in this place. There's no individual signature attached to them. The scientists don't interact with these things; if something broke, they'd have to call someone else in to fix it.</li><br><br><li>The Katalyth-earworm will be suddenly <b>very</b> loud. Worst of all: it's the <b>Kelesis carnival variant</b>. But its volume suddenly shot up, and will only begin to decrease once he leaves the room. The carnival-variant will not stick around any more than the volume does, at least.</li></ul><br>So while the mystery magic doesn't have anything <i>alive</i> in it (or anything dead, for that matter), it almost certainly involves Katalyth. <br><br>2. Is this responsible cniding... But yes, his nudge of this guy into better empathy may succeed. <br><br>3. He can. They will be very exasperated about it but they won't go after him over it. If Pal wanted a complementary pen on his tour he could have just asked!! (Or maybe have gone to the job fair they had free pens there!)
