Until now.

Kerri Marks was born of human parents, but she is also the first of an entire race:Homo Magicus, an
offshoot of mankind born with the inherent ability to understand and use pentrinsic code. Other children
with this powerful, inherent gift are born. And so a race is born. But their numbers are low. They are
young. They are not organized. They do not have a way to express their raw power, this blend of science
and magic.

Until now.

POP QUIZ
October 12, 2953

Miss Hennessy had always been pretty, Kerri decided on the first day of school. She was pretty in their
normal classroom in the puterverse, where her brilliant pinks and glowing blacks always excited the
children with the way the colors wrapped and floated around her body. And now that Kerri was seeing
her in real life for the first time since school started two months ago, she was even more pretty than in
the puterverse. With a keen child's sense, Kerri could see Miss Hennessy as she looked when she was a
little girl like her: small frame, brown hair, blue eyes and even the same smile, with the same missing
front tooth, the grownup tooth not quite ready to show.

Kerri Marks had only been in school for two years; but at the age of six, she was quite certain no one
was as nice and wonderful and pretty as her teacher, Miss Hennessy. And now they were in the same
room!

"All right, children!" Miss Hennessy said in a firm voice that she softened by a smile. "Let's all have a
seat on the floor and introduce ourselves properly. I'm just as eager to know you as you are to see me."
She sat down on the floor and carefully spread her long skirt out just perfect. The nine children;
bouncing around only seconds before, hurriedly settled down, sitting on the soft, warm floor around her.
Kerri was very happy to see that she got the spot next to Miss Hennessy, on her left. Miss Hennessy
gave her a warm smile that made Kerri want to tell her absolutely everything about herself; but she did
not, knowing her teacher always did things just so. The last of them quieted, and all bright eyes looked
up at her.

"Very good!" Miss Hennessy said happily. She looked them over carefully, and if anything, she was
even happier with what she saw. "My! What lovely children you are! Bret, stop poking Maggie." Bret's
hand immediately jerked back, and Maggie gave him a quick smirk. "Maggie, you don't need to do that.
Well! I know you've been my pupils for two months now, but we've only met in the puterverse. Since I'll
be here on Coda for the next three weeks, we can do this properly. Please stand up and introduce
yourself. Tell me how old you are, what you like the most, what you don't like the most, and what you'd
