Over time, as Gene-Strains acquired the ability to perform communions, and to manifest psionic powers, they begun asking themselves where these mysterious abilities to shape the world around them come from. No definitive answer has been found; whether this is due to the fact psionics resist exploration, or that the underlying principles are far beyond the capacity of the people of Outlook to comprehend, is unknown.

	Nevertheless, several common traditions have risen, some of them spanning multiple tribes.		Nevertheless, several common traditions have risen, some of them spanning across multiple tribes.

Over time as gene-strains acquired the ability to perform communions and manifest psionic powers, they begun asking themselves where these mysterious abilities to shape the world around them come from. No clear answers have been found, either psionics resist exploration or perhaps underlying principles are far beyond the capacity of the people of Outlook to comprehend.
