To sum all that up, For the purposes of the scoffoverse we'll just say that psychic races are psychic, and the best anyone else can do is to learn to block them. I could try to explain it all with technobabble, but let's just not and pretend I did=-)

Why not say that the Psychic race can only pick up your thoughts... If you aren't and don't think about something, its hardly going to be pickuppable, right?
Like a biological CAT scanner or MRI, watching the activity patterns in your brain. And from experience, knowing what they mean...

In conversation, they would be able to try and steer your thoughts by your reactions to what they say and do, making it seem like their abilities are much more powerful than they really are.

Well, obviously we have lots of unanswered questions. There are uses for background information, both for the world and for the characters, so I don't think it's 'dragging' yet. And we expect inter-stellar travel to take some time even with 'warp points' to save the bulk of it. But it's got to be time to start answering some of those questions soon, I hope?

Not so much a bump, more of a gentle nudge

No new chapters to report i'm afraid, but I have just updated my website to include the Last four chapters or so, which had been missing.

Also, following the discussion on this thread from a few pages ago, I've re-ordered the story a bit to make it a little more linear. The content hasn't changed at all, just the order of certain chapters.

It's been so long since I've had time to read all the stories floating around, I'm gonna have to go back and read them all from the beginning.
