Notes: This represents one type of telepathic interrogator. The Voices disadvantage represents his Telerecieve ability sometime operating on its own, picking up random thoughts from people within his range (this is a lesser version of a problem some telepaths in SF have, being unable to block out the thoughts of everyone within their range).
