Psionics are just.. Magic. Everytime you pull a psionic thing in XCOM it's like you're punching reality in the face for its lunch money.
Like in EW it was... Kind of explainable except for Rifts which were seriously what the hell. And then in XCOM 2 they just went "Yeah this is space magic so we're going all out."
As an aside psi ops are my favorite class. Fear thr wizards because they can kill you with their minds.
Headcanon is that Tygon is slightly psychic-which is why he can 'hack' the advent's psionic network and intuit a lot of psychic-science things, and even why he makes such marvelous space-wizards.
"YES DIBS! Dibs is the Way, Dibs is Life...and mostly Death, for the Xenos we're aiming at, but you know what I mean! Dibs is good times and good memories of proper murderin'!"
"..............YOU. I've waited 20 years for this, Aleph!"
"You betrayed XCOM! You betrayed ME!YOU BETRAYED EARTH!I slew legions for you! In your name! For your heart! AND YOU REPAID US WITH TREASON?! VIGILO CONFIDO!"
~growled~ "I never forgot. Not for one second in twenty years... I spent 20 years killing Xenos in the shadows, hoping she would notice and come home..."
Evil, sure. But I'm not prejudiced, and I don't shame people based on fucked-up cultural beauty standards that don't even acknowledge that old people can be anything but ugly.

Generica: I'm fucked anyways so I might as well say it. I'm literally bleeding out and there's a psychotic sexy robot ninja about to blow my fucking brains out so I'll admit it. Even if it is Aleph. Even if that sounds creepy as all hell. Even if Strypgia over there looks like she wants to murder my ass and even though Havocfett is giving me this condemning glare like I'm the most worthless scummiest scumbag that ever scummed on the planet.
I'd tap that. I would.
(More stunned silence.)
Generica: ... I'm not going to apologize. You might as well just shoot me now and get it over with.

Not sorry. I'll turn myself over to the local commissar for processing now.
