[There are the sounds of a scuffle the moment the feed begins---a man's frightened yelp, followed by the sound of something being sliced (but it sounds like it's just fabric being torn) and Beatrice's typical menacing chuckling. Is she up to trouble again? Bullying innocent civvies for little, if any, sort of reason? It's really anyone's guess,

I don't know if that's what you're asking or not.

There's no right or wrong answer...I was simply asking an opinion.
So...you consider your abilities second nature now, is that correct?

Ah...so you are from...the stars? My, my---so beings like yourself do, in fact, exist! And to think those in power allegedly tried to cover up that truth!
This is quite momentous, indeed! [She chuckles.] So, how do the thought processes of your native beings compare to that of humans?

I do not possess the power to read thoughts, only to project foreign ideas and visions into another's mind. I hardly see why one would wish to. Very few have remotely interesting thoughts in my experience.

Ah! Like illusions, then? A useful ability, indeed! [She laughs approvingly.] But---imagine the wealth of knowledge that you'd have if you were able to read another's thoughts, if you found the right individual to target! Their sins, their fears, their desires...everything laid out before you.

Then the people around you must have been quite honest people, more foolish than the silly liars I was surrounded by. But no...I do not desire such an ability, to look into people's hearts. I feel it's all the more fun to make them see that for themselves, rather than know it in spite of their own knowledge. It's much too easy.
I was simply curious to see how similarly-powered individuals saw that ability, is all.
