Darn it, fart in the connection... now I have to re-type it...

I would like to go on record as being a staunch supporter of the Psi Corps as an excellent faction in any story. They have style, elegance, and quiet deadliness that seems to be a perfect blend of corporate, government, and crime-lord styles.

I would also, though, like to point out that they are not a flat 'evil empire' as they are often portrayed. Most of the people in the Psi Corps are, if not happy, at least satisfied. They're easier to control that way. Even Bester had a love in the Psi Corps...

And they're not all evil in action either. Remember, suddenly manifesting psychic abilities just as your biology is pumping hormones into you is, at best, horribly disconcerting. Without training, you could easily go mad (and I have reason to believe that the UF universe is similar, considering Devlin's comments) or manifest sociopathic behaviors.

PS: If anyone is truly desperate, I have the crappy fan-subs (not that the fan-subbing is crappy: just that the video quality is) of most of the latter parts of the Utena series. However, I am, most irritatingly, missing the last four or five. If someone would be so kind as to arrange for my possible reception and incorporation of these files, I would be forever grateful.
