What if there were psykers on present day terra (2k)? How would different countries react? (To make this easier there are no deamons and no chaos corruption yet).

Or, what if you were a psyker in 2k? What would you do?

I guess the Jame Randi Educational Foundation would finally give out the $1,000,000 prize.


Star Trek taught me so much. Like, how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female...

There are a few each generation. But their life is mostly rather short and not very fun.

They had a long running offer that anyone who could demonstrate actual, verifiable,l supernatural abilities, mind-reading, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, anything that defied explanation, would get a million dollars. As it turned out, MANY people who had demonstrated, unbelievable, mystical powers in videos, or pictures mysteriously failed to replicate their feats in person. I remember as a small kid, watching a show that had a martial arts studio that was very salty about what a bunch of frauds and cheaters the Randi foundation was. As the studio's videos showed, their techniques gave students amazing situational awareness! Perfect blindsight (and the videos were pretty jaw dropping incredible - the choreography they practiced was amazing!) But that mean old institute wouldn't give up the million bucks, they wanted in person demonstrations! The meanies!

Quickest way to disprove mediums and witches IRL: Offer a million dollar prize and watch as nobody takes you up on it.

If I was a psyker in 2k...

Probably levitate snacks towards my face all day.

Maybe mind-control GW's directors (or whatever they are called).

Umm...burn them, burn them all. I sure don't want to live through (well, die in) a daemonic incursion.

Active armies, still collecting and painting First and greatest love - Orks, Orks, and more Orks largest pile of shame, so many tanks unassembled most complete and painted beautiful models, couldn't resist the swarm will consume all
Armies in disrepair: nothing new since 5th edition oh how I want to revive, but mostly old fantasy demons and some glorious Soul Grinders in need of love

America and Russia would disappear theirs into research facilities.

Germany would demand they reveal the best beer recipes from the future.

Italy would sell them reasonably priced coffee.

Britain would poison their tea.

France would invite them to be their leaders.

The (fundamentalist) Middle Eastern countries as a whole would start burning them.

Africa would probably shrug and get on with whatever they were doing before, only slightly hungrier.

7th edition 40k is a lot like BDSM these days. Only play with people you know and develop a safe word for when things get too intense. And It doesn't hurt to be a sadist or masochist as well.

And that is why all I would do is levitate snacks to my face, and not reveal myself.

Even better, that's +1000 years of snack development.

Finally being able to eat cheetos without that orange dust all over your hands? Some would say heresy.

They would hide themselves away from all fearful nations (ie all of them) and start a paradise country in somewhere noone would look. Which pretty much means the middle of Australia, Antarctica or with the homeless.

A empath or telepath would better lay low. At least, if he/she hasn`t gone insane at this point.
