So just out of curiosity [@Durandal] when you say Sakiri can read minds and move things with their thoughts what's the actual mechanics of it? Do their brains emit/interpret 'psychic energy' or is it a soft-science solution. If so would sufficiently intelligent machines give off psychic readings or is it a solely a biological property. If so do they consider this evidence for a soul? Could they read the thoughts of something sufficiently alien from themselves? What if it didn't have a brain? Is this talent latent in all races or the product of a special organ?

The brains emit/interpret psychic energy. The limitations of their psychic abilities is that they can only use telepathy with others that actually have a psychic field, meaning they couldn't telepathically communicate with non-psychics so it's rather niche in that function. For telekinesis, a soft-science psychic amplifier is usually used so that they can move around large objects, otherwise the telekinetic abilities would be limited to objects not much larger than chairs and no more than a dozen or so kilograms because of the relative weakness of the interaction of the psychic field with actual objects. As far as they know, this latent ability is a product of their special brain development (hell if I know what would cause psychic abilities). Whether or not they consider it evidence for a soul depends on the individual. Most, however, will consider it so given the strength of the Vaterni Church among the Unity.
