Day Of Bondship

Bonding is a Psychelian ritual that usually happens within 20 years after the Psyche generation's first Day Of Emergence. The Psyche Master selects a partner of the same sex for the Psyche, and both Psyches remove the gloves from their bodysuits and touch each other's palms, pressing them together while they send a telepathic pulse through each other. At that point, the Psyche knows his or her partner and that they are bonded for life, or until the partner passes away. Empath, who himself is bonded to Polaris Psyche, equates the ritual to a form of marriage, although he admits that the relationship is utterly void of any feelings between the partners.
