AN: Mmmmeeeeyeeeeemmm...
I totally shouldn't call it. It's hard to join threads with rocket votes... but people also like stuff that updates frequently, and dammit I'm still so bored with online classes dumbing things down.
Screw it. I already wrote the update anyway.

A wave of interest has been sweeping through Dallon's planetary networks for years now, and a number of public organizations have begun sounding their horns as of late; the Dalfea are a galactic rarity even among sapients, with the presence of naturally-occurring psionic gifts, and they have proven such claims are empirically valid.
All manner of families have begun testing their children in the hopes to advance their abilities early in life, and many older or socially isolated Dalfea, discouraged by their apparent difficulty in integrating in modern society, have also jumped at the new fad, hopeful that it will give them some status. Preliminary efforts to catalogue the complete list of positive-tested individuals have hit bottleneck issues, with test kits and professional testers being a rare commodity as the Psionic Census Program is adjusting to it's formal role.
You expect you might begin seeing a few headhunting firms focused on finding experts that also have the gift in the coming years.

The diplomatic shuttle you share with the An'tak'he ambassador cuts through the void quickly, eating up space between the last jump point and the Aldiran Central Station, a federally-owned starbase in orbit around the Ventrus star, directly in the center of the spiral arm. A beautiful, blazing blue, the image makes for passable entertainment as you await docking space.
The panoply of life aboard the station, with their unique sights and smells, is exhilarating in the days leading up to your species' first attendance of the federal congress. Nearly a dozen member and associated races run service stalls of all kinds, as well as a few specimens not part of the federal umbrella seeking to profit from their exoticism.
The congress itself is a more dull affair, by comparison, though you get the distinct sense that you're being verbally paraded around prior to the casting of the vote. A sideways glance at the An'tak'he ambassador shows that he didn't particularly care one way or the other on this resolution, but approves of your choice nonetheless. When you return, you go over the best options for ambassadors to maintain a permanent residence on the station, preferring not to be arm candy again.
[] [Ambassador] Ayava Tuq, 30
-Celebrity - No skill benefits, costs no character slots (still enables certain focuses/effects)
[] [Ambassador] Voros Wem'Vek, 48
-Lobbyist (Associate Version) - Affects the rate of Membership approval based on skill level

As the Most Beneficent Chancellor of the Dalfea people, it falls to you to direct the course of the ship of state. Your powers are far-reaching and with few caveats, but there is much to do. The complexities of government, and the slow cogs of state, limit you to two actions, or Focuses, each turn. You may also freely assign any unassigned tech or social dice to open projects, or reassign assigned dice.

Current Cultural Projects:
With the influx of advanced scientific and cultural concepts, we have discovered that our gift for magic is out of the norm, if it truly is as we believe it to be. We must approach such claims of psychic powers and wizardry with a critical eye, and bring the secret of our abilities to light. -COMPLETE-

We have confirmed the truth of our abilities, but it is difficult to confirm who possesses them without exceptional and varied testing. We must streamline the process of testing individuals for supernatural abilities.
-Develops cultural and social advances relating to psychic abilities and the categorization of them
