Lataniva looked to Sandra when she spoke about getting into minds quicker. How foreign to Lataniva that thought was, she had simply considered it natural that it’d take a while. But, now that she mentioned it. While she had never remembered the exact details as she was no historian, there was something about this matter she could share.

[@mackielars][indent]‘… Stories tell, of a tyrant of Dalentian past. He held the power to overwrite the purpose of an individual’s existence with but a single touch, make them his eternal servants. After his eventual death, the use of our psionic powers for mind-manipulation was forbidden for the sake of mutual trust in our species. Use of this power against fellow Dalentians is a crime with no equal. … Maybe, the potency of the power dulled after many eons of disuse. I only overcame my mental barrier against using it when my life became endangered far from my home planet.’[/indent]So she shared a little tidbit. Then, another little detail.

[indent]‘What Dalentians do with this power is not take forceful control, we rather mold the mind so the target acts as it is beneficial to us, inserting instructions that activate under the right set of circumstances. No Dalentian can make someone do as they like without the time to properly control the result. The brain is a very complicated thing.’[/indent]Lataniva explained.

[indent]‘Perhaps, there are psionics in the world that use their power differently. That take forceful control and directly controls someone else’s mind with but a glance. … Those will not be Dalentian. We have our powers, that are natural to us.’[/indent]Lataniva theorized, and that was as deep as she felt like going into the subject.

Then there was that part about about getting clean, which took Lataniva could sympathise with.

[indent]‘Although I am used to spending large amounts of time enduring any natural fallacies of the mortal body, yes. Freshening up would be nice.’[/indent] Lataniva agreed with a nod.
