There is no proof that Piper actually has this ability, or whether it exists solely in her dream. Likewise, there is no proof that Piper is an evolved human. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 05:56, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
- I think the fact that the mother calls "Dr." Bennet at the end confirms that Piper was indeed the target of the company. Likewise, I dont think Sanjog pulled the elastic powers out of his ass when showing her dreams of forgotten memories of what happened.--Piemanmoo 06:00, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
- Um, I agree with Piemanmoo. I'd say the fact that Mr. Bennet is on the phone with Piper's mother at the end of the novel is confirmation that the dream was a true memory. Also, Sanjog Iyer is in the dream, and he tells her that she doesn't need his help, she can use her own ability to fight those who were keeping her prisoner. So that's double confirmation.--MiamiVolts (talk) 06:03, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
- I'd say that Piper is really an evolved human. The novel kind of establish the fact that what she dreams is her past which is wiped by the Haitian. Bennet's final appearance further support that theory. As for the name, I'd suggest "Enhanced Flexibility".
- To the mystery poster: Flexibility only refers to the bending, and doesn't apply to Piper's stretching her leg longer than normally it is.--MiamiVolts (talk) 06:21, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
- Having contact with the Company does not guarantee one is an evolved human. It's just as likely that Debbie was the evolved human and the genetic anomaly was never manifest in Piper. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:14, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
- Oh, I see where Sanjog calls her special. Well, I still have a hard time using an example in a dream as proof that Piper is an evolved human, but I suppose Sanjog's omniscience kind of supersedes dreams of abilities. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:15, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
