On my other accounts I've shared some #babylon5 fan fiction mixed with theories. Although as I can type long sentences and reply to myself here , I may as well have them here although I am a little reluctant to repeat myself too much.
Perhaps I spend too much time on other apps but it's easier and more immediate to view pictures and videos than reading lots of text
Anyway
Had some background on why the #PsiCorps may be allied with the Shadows although, as usual, I got distracted.
Hadn't really confirmed why, but let's say that IPX hires a lot of telepaths so there is a connection before first contact with aliens and the official forming of the Earth Alliance
IPX find a ship in Antarctica. Later the pre-corps telepaths realised they may be fodder in a war and need to choose sides , or at least find a way to survive by being useful to the (later) #EarthAlliance and , crucially, by #breeding as many #telepaths as possible
This is more a "explanation for myself as to
why telepath breeding programmes and arranged marriages are a thing in #PsiCorps
To sum up officials in IPX along with a small group of among the first telepaths to be discovered "know" about the Vorlon/Shadow conflict
My premise is that a small number of nations set up "Interplanetary Expeditions" and national bodies to basically register #telepaths , which 100+ years later becomes the Psi Corps #b5reboot #b5fanfiction
The USA and China probably don't exist as they are now by the end of
the 22nd century, although they may as well be "founding EA members" (along with #Japan and #Russia they set up IPX and the Internal Telepath Registry)
EA exists later for the purposes of interstellar relations and managing non corporate colonies on the Moon and Mars ,but has no real authority by itself on Earth 🌎🌍 until after the forming of #PsiCorps
Oh to add semi official #Babylon5 novels exist but their version of a pre-Psi Corps is just as #authoritarian I have yet to read them I'm not happy with the summations of their operations.
In my version the purpose of the Registry is for governments and civilians to secretly enquire if a potential employee has telepathic abilities or not.
I was also wondering which would freak people out more: finding out aliens exist or the discovery that there are humans who can read people's minds!
My idea is also to have an air force branch but has no commissioned officers below the rank of brigadier as it is entirely devoted to training pilots for the other branches. Is this weird?
Well, it's my #fantasy so up yours #fanfiction
Demotion in #PsiCorps would lead ultimately to #prison
I suppose the two branches could be the Infantry as a whole [which includes the marines , security (on and off-world) with the latter including (or having authority over the) Psi Cops /level 12 Investigations (should this not have another nam e/include also P10+P11 ?)] and the Navy
Well it's my fantasy
So perhaps Psi Cops can be lower than P12?
Work it out later maybe 🤔
Edit: Let's say that officially there are ten grades , but internally there are P11 (more powerful than P10) and P12 (ditto)
Trainers, educators and senior administrators in Psi Corps hold warrants and outrank other #telepaths
Management get commissions
Telepaths permanently or temporarily assigned to Psi Cops are under the aegis of Earth Alliance Security. If they retire or return to Psi Corps
