Juf Edda

“Sixteenth of December 2399,” Professor Miyagi says. “Barely two weeks until the Century Festival.” As he paces across the amphitheater stage, he points at the scene floating over his head. “And Edda van Dolah is pumped up.”

The scene is frozen in time, but vivid, as if they were watching a set of actors that have been asked to kindly stand still. It is a classroom, recognizable in every age and place: a blackboard covered with chalk-written dates and names of people and places, a world map hanging on the wall, six rows of young adults with bored expressions, elbows and forearms on wooden school desks, tunics wrapped tightly against the chill. And looming over them all at the front of the classroom, like an altar in a temple of knowledge, the teacher’s desk, and Edda standing next to it, staring down at her pupils like a priestess of wisdom at her faithful.

“Can you feel her energy through your psych-links?” Miyagi asks rhetorically. “Her zeal? Yesterday she was just a girl trying to learn the first step of the Path of Light. Today she’s a woman with a mission. And she’s using the only weapon she knows how to wield: the teacher’s pulpit. This,” he points at the classroom, “is her Mondays’ and Thursdays’ evening lessons for adults. What do you say, people? Can a schoolteacher on a remote colony cause a shock of historical proportions?”

Ximena smiles to herself. Another rhetorical question.

“Let’s watch. Ank, please.”
