	Dead-strains are “humans”. They appear recognisably and completely of the human genus, although their clothing reflects the tough times they live in. Due to their appearance matching those of ancestral humans, and their heredity being similar to them too, they have a closer relationship with AIs than that of the gene-strains. This includes the power to control the potential of their hereditary genes, and learn the secrets of Techgnosis. Their closeness to their ancestors also leads to their ka being more receptive to AIs, meaning that they can house more AIs than Gene-strains.		Dead-strains are “humans”.

	Psionics are never seen as a curse, but can be viewed as a mixed blessing. In a few Tribes, it is believed that Psionics are a sign of continued divergence from the righteous path. It’s not the Psionicists’ fault, and they should definitely master their powers rather than letting their power master them, but in these Tribes it’s considered improper to go about with your mutations visible. A few of these Tribes talk about the great Citadel, and say that the role of the psionicists will be to purify those who enter the Citadel when its doors open, such that the great AI guiding the fabled city will accept those from the Ancient Way.

			==== A Symbol Hope ====
	In Tribes led by Gene-Strains, they gift of Psionics can be seen as a personal expression of a bright new hope. The previous world failed, and we are different, they say. These Tribes believe that novel mutations are a great blessing, and they praise individuality for the good of the community. Sometimes these Tribes all adopt a single mutation, in memory of a great good it did for one of their leaders. Some few take this philosophy of beneficial mutation to its logical conclusion, and believe in "The Shaper", a consciousness guiding humanity collectively through its changes, ensuring a guiding hand.

			==== Community Glue ====
	Through Psionics, togetherness arises. Psionic abilities not only become more powerful when multiple people cooperate, but they also benefit multiple people. Some Tribes take advantage of this communal aspect, making sure that as many group activities as possible can occur. In these Tribes, dead-strains might be seen as a little surly, because they don’t initiate activities such as a breakfast melding, or a pre-hunt shaping communion. In these Tribes, mutations and Psionics are just as likely to be treated as abstract objects of worship or as specialised tools; often these Tribes also have a second belief system melded into this psionic focus, and Psionic communions are seen as a medium for worship.
