Editing Parchments and Bolters (section)

=== Training ===

5552 closed her eyes shut, trying to grasp the connection to the warp to light the candle on fire. As always for the past decades, it did not work. 5552 sighed at the failure. Malcador continued to read the translated play of Death And The King’s Horseman, though she could not understand his fascination for ancient literatures. 

“Frustration will only lead you to more failures.” Malcador said.

“Then you can be more specific on how to achieve this damn training. I can’t feel the warp at all, and as you said everyone has a link to the warp.” 

Malcador did not pry his eyes away from his other parchments, nor the bolter that was resting on the side of his room for some reason. His silence was enough to tell 5552 she just needed to keep trying. Despite her failures and her complaints, she continued on. Malcador slowly turned, but his eyes were still on the parchment.

“Indeed, but you are a rather unique specimen. Something must have happened that made you hidden from the warp, you are not a blank that is for certain.”

“I told you I don’t remember. Even when the Emperor unlocked my memories not everything was recovered. Even so, that’s not going to help me with my psychic problems.”

“I am aware of that.” Malcador said. “My theory is that something happened to you, the lost memories… either forgotten by your own choice or something made you forget. I do have another theory, perhaps your ability is not physical, but innate.”

Malcador silently sat in his chair, pondering deeper.

“That will be the end of the study. I believe you have a social party to be part of.” 

5552 rolled her eyes. The recent unification of Terra meant dealing with nobles as well. Why they weren’t simply killed only the Emperor knew.
