So, Nita is about to ask some Questions in the Speech (which, for practical purposes, isn't quite the same thing as psychic powers, though psychotropic spells are a canonical subdivision).

The machinery she's about to talk to includes the SCA itself (to determine what it's for - and later where it's from/was made) and, of course, the Train.

Can she (or the peridexis) expect any answers? :P
