In the meantime, have this creepy fact about thought reading. TL;DR: Don't thought read sleeping people. {Edit: Fuck, mean thought reading this entire time, not mind reading. Fucking hell, brain}
A scientifically proven event with Psionics using Thought Reading has been known as a "Dream Trap". According to the research paper done in 2103, a Psionic reading the thoughts of a subject who is showing signs of dreaming has... unsettling results. Instantaneously, once the Psionic initiates the subject, the Psionic falls into a state of the sleep that normally occurs late in the cycle and is where dreams are theorized to spawn from. Although the state was otherwise completely normal and the Psionics and the Subjects were both unharmed, the scientists involved in the research reported that looking at their bodies was "unsettling, or otherwise out of place". It doesn't end there. Even though not a single psionic thought is transmitted throughout the dream (as would be visible on a Psi Radar, if it even took place at all during Thought Reading) , upon waking up both the subjects and the Psionics recalled scattered memories of the dream. The loss of information was extremely high even when interviewed as fast as possible after waking. When recalling what they could, both also recalled feelings of fear, desperation, and a Fight or Flight response even when recalling scenes that seemed detached from these feelings. Some recalled even seeing the other in the dream, even remembering bits of conversation, with odd blanks resulting in a loss of what the conversation was about.
When the research finally ended 2 months later, the research team had logged over 30 trials of Dream Traps. The head scientist's personal log for the final trial was not originally included, despite it including all others, but was later found on a server the team sold in 2123, and uploaded without their consent.
"[...][The trial] was 64 minutes in when something happened. The neurologist rushed in from the other room to inform me Subject 225's higher brain function ceased a second ago. We rushed in to the room, but to no avail. 225 was a vegetable. And yet, even though the victim had lost every single mental function needed to dream, our still 'normal' Psionic kept 'dreaming' for two minutes afterwards, the medical team logging enough adrenaline being pumped into his blood to kickstart a horse.
When he woke up, everyone on the team was in his room, lying around, leaning on the walls, somewhere, waiting to see if he was still alive. He sat up on the scanner bed, and started silently crying. And well, I know for a fact that Muhammad was 1.7 scale Psionic. He had to wrack a few heads to get to the level he was at, and now should not have been the time he broke down. It was so out of place, I only got the courage to ask what was wrong around half a minute later. I regretted the question when I heard his response.
'I couldn't save him.'"
