The joint NSA/CIA school worked, although not as its designers intended. Some did, indeed, develop usable telepathy. Others were partially successful, able to communicate mind-to-mind, but only with others like themselves. And some gained abilities the school’s designers never intended - psychokinesis or the ability to move objects by mental power alone; levitation, which in practical terms, is the ability to fly; and much more. Much, much more.

Bors was reeling as if struck by a thunderbolt. This was absurd! He had meticulously planned and executed the destruction of that warship based on information he believed was solid, confirmed by a magnetometer. However, if he had known the truth—that the intel came from a paranoid ex-employee of the spaceport, who had guessed the ships location using nothing more than a hazel twig—he would have dismissed it outright.
