Nan, stories from you are a delight, so I'm glad to hear we've barely gotten started. I'm wondering if Com. Parnell guesses or knows that Lyn is psychic, which is why he is being reasonable about fleeing the Patrol.
Yeah, I'm afraid the psychic accompanying Mark is just another disposable red shirt. I'm trying to remember what that story about the other psychic race said about the globes, but I suspect our TU isn't taking enough precautions, and Lofton (?) may be the loser.
