Being interested in the future of our heroes, this caught my eye on the second read:
"The Extension to the Psionics Regulation and Protection Act
is before the Earthdome Assembly again," Devlin pointed out, his tone
graver than usual. "And it looks like it has a good chance of passin'
this time, what? Off-Earth conscription powers for the Psi Corps,
expansion of their jurisdiction from the homeworld to the borders of
the whole Alliance, all that rot. High-psionic-potential races are
nervous, an' well they should be. They're backin' away from Earth as
a gesture of protest." He shook his head. "Won't work. 'Internal
operations of a sovereign nation' and all that. Won't be too long
before they're pushing a similar Extension for the whole Federation,
and if the outer races back off instead of fightin'... well, 'peace in
our time,' as they say."

Um, am I understanding this correctly, but is PSI corp threatening to basically haul anyone off the street who is remotely pyschic and turn them into a PSI corp goon? Irregardless of citizenship?

If that is the case, why didn't Zeta Cygni register a protest about this? I can't imagine that Gryphon would be infavor of this extension of Psi Corp power.

Why does Devlin think that everyone letting Earth get away with this will _not_ cause a conflict? And why isn't he worried?

Also, why does everyone need a Psi Corp card?

gah,
