Della Vetri/StarFleet Records: Difference between revisions

Della's empathy is strong, but largely untapped.  She is able to receive emotional broadcasts from pretty much any species with a two-lobed brain at a respectable distance, but doing so requires her to concentrate, and she has little in the way of a buffer to protect her from surges of exceptionally intense feeling.  There have been incidents of her getting a spontaneous "read" off of another person, but these are uncommon, and typically occur only with physical contact.  This is rarely a good thing, as she has even less protection than normal when in physical contact with the person she is sensing.

Recent events have suggested that there may well be more to her abilities than first thought, including a couple of recent incidents suggest that she may also be able to receive actual imagery and memories from others in close proximity, if they are telepathic themselves.  This has not been a particularly pleasant experience for her on either occasion, but also apprears to have been merely a precursor.  Of late, there have been a few occasions where she has been able to establish telepathic contact without realising it, even if the recipient is not psionically active themselves.

There is a theory, as yet untested, that past telepathic interference with her symbiote has served to effect her abilities in some way.
