So, can people teleport here? As in, have you gained that power, or you had it before coming here? Has it changed somewhat, or did you lose it altogether?

And if I wanted to travel all over the world, who should I talk to?

Yes, that is an ability that's been new to me. In regards to travelling over the world, well if you're Registered, you'll find that you're harassed about it far less.

Unregistered imPorts can't even use the local porters without an escort. I don't know whether or not you feel comfortable with the idea of registering, but you'll be immediately flagged as MIA if you leave the country and too many times may result in disciplinary action.

If you're registered, there's less concern over it, and travel is much less stress inducing. Generally speaking at any rate; there are exceptions of course. Really, I often find it's better to port in somewhere obscure and not draw attention to yourself on the local level.

My ability works in two different ways. The first of which all I need to do is mentally run a pair of coordinates through an abbreviated equation and the transition occurs immediately. This method costs roughly 17% more energy than the alternative, which is to write out the entire equation for what effectively amounts to quantum teleportation. Very Star Trek.

In regards to your other question, well you may lose your government benefits.

Essentially. It does have its limitations in terms of usage frequency, a trait that seems to vary among the imPort population as far as any ability is concerned.

A friend of mine for example, has the ability to manifest portals without hindrance. Similarly, it also has a scientific interface, but I've noticed that abilities do seem to be generally linked to our background of sorts.

Unfortunately, unless you have a background in the sciences, I doubt I will be much assistance in sorting out how your particular ability functions. It may be as simple as choosing a set of coordinates or picturing a location, or as complex as travelling through a medium.

I see. That's sensible.

Well I'd heavily suggest registering in that case. You'll need to board commercial flights if you want to go much of anywhere outside the country and travelling isn't inexpensive. So you'll certainly need a steady job and the ability to travel for lengths of time without repercussion.

Well if you don't, you have all of America to explore. It's a very large country with numerous geographical features, after all.

I don't know too much about the schooling system policies, but I do know that there are at least a few young imPorts that don't bother with it much. You may want to ask about it.

A curious thing, yes. The house I grew up in is here and it's a strange thing. It's not owned by my family of course, but it is the same house- at least from the outside. Depending on how the war here may have impacted the area you live in, it may be. Of course it's unlikely if it was something built by a recent member of your family.

Would you mind if I asked what you studied?

Unfortunate. But it does sound like suitable grounds to argue your case against. Secondary school is a waste of time if you could be spending it pursuing university.

The Ambassadors as far as I've seen aren't too much more than imPort advocates. It puts them in a position where they have some ability to affect local change. But of course they're politicians of a sort, so they may be better suited to answer your queries.

My only suggestion would be to speak with Yale recruiters about entry. If you can prove your education and gain admittance, I don't see why you'd be forced to attend secondary.

You have a gifted mind if you were admitted into one of America's prestigious universities at the age of twelve. It would truly be a shame to waste it.

I can't say from personal experience, but that's a remarkable ability. I can imagine why it seems that way, but it's really just an intellectual tool you can use to your advantage. Your teleportation ability and function makes a fair bit more sense.

Do you have a particular field of interest?

That's awfully specific and sounds rather dangerous, but I'm sure you know what you're doing.

[Not really, she's 13, but okay]

Well there's no shortage of scientists among the imPort population. Engineering types for the most part, but there's a couple physicists and the odd biologist.

My PhD was in Computer Science & Engineering actually, but in truth I've done more work in theoretical physics in recent years.

[An assistant? Well, he could afford to pay one and technically she might be too young to hold a proper job]

I can't say I've been looking for an assistant, and I'm not the easiest person to get along with.

But if you'd like to come by the lab at any point, I'm working in the biotechnological division for Starktech at the moment. My fiance is a biologist and my lab partner- brilliant man, for all he may not act it.
