Scions of both standard Humans and Altiri appear to be capable of learning the ability of Psionic Echo Scanning, a power that does not require much energy at all, though it is unnatural and must be learned consciously. Psionic Echo Scanning pertains to a notion similar to ethereal echo-location of composition, where specific psionic signals are projected outward onto a particular target individual, with the expectation of some sort of psionic echo-return data. Regardless of whether this data is in any manner legible or interpretable, this ability will confirm psionic possibility of the target either by returning a positive echo-return signal (which can be detected without interpretation), or returning minimal data (which indicates a negative). Placed into better terms, this psionic scanning ability gives an active scion the ability to locate and determine an inactive scion or a potential scion. Inactive Scions are those who have been active, but are not currently using any of their abilities, and therefore have subconsciously shut the lid on most of their powers, perhaps permanently. A Potential Scion refers to one who has the capacity for learning psionic powers if they are taught, or if they are forced to subconsciously learn them using the effects of a psionic purge. In either case, both types of inert Scions can be detected and determined to be “potential Scions” using this easy ability. However, Scions who use it, appear to be unable to sort the specific differences between potential Scions and inactive Scions, at least when the data obtained from this power is the only info they have to go on.7Please respect copyright.PENANARFbJjYG0we

Any Scion who is either potential or inactive will always unknowingly emit low-level psionic waves from their Cora sector, waves which are benign byproducts of this part of the brain staying active as it is (though this is not required for Cora brain function or other brain function). These waves can easily be picked up by an active Scionusing their ability to sense these waves. Additionally, the overall strength of these waves can also be determined in the same moment, which is why that same scion can see how strong a potential scion might be, or estimate how long it has been since an ex-scion has stopped using their developed abilities.7Please respect copyright.PENANAEnQWz9AEdd

Since the energy cost for this is quite low, humans who have been purged have also been taught how to use this power as well, though some have permanently lost it due to the effects of psionic atrophy when they stopped caring to keep this ability in practice, favoring only the telepathy they were used to in the beginning. It’s also worth mentioning that many (about 52%) of the entire Earth population are not potential Scions, as in, they do not have the potential to ever become one or learn any psionic powers, and are thus also immune to an attempted purge. The effect of psionic scanning can let a scion know if a target is not a potential scion, which is generally an important required step preluding whether they are a chosen candidate for a purge, or even for general study. This explains one of many reasons why permission from the Altiri Queen is a strict requirement for selecting a purge applicant.7Please respect copyright.PENANA2lCb631Rxf

Additionally, among this huge theoretical population sample, there are also those that register in these scans as the ten percent. Scions of the AVPSI refer to people by this noun when they fail to return any data at all on the specific targeted individual, who is totally invisible to all Clair-sensing abilities as well. Psionic scanning can be made stronger by more powerful Scions, such as the Altiri, who can and have scanned many people through the eyes of their own purged subjects during telepathic communication, which is ironically how these ten percent people were discovered in the first place. The ten percent (which represents 10% of the entire population of non-scions and potential/inactive scions collectively) are 100% immune to all return signal attempts of all psionic abilities. This means they are invisible to clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, possibly claircognizance, telepathy, purging, psionic biolution, and even psionic echo scanning. Their presence was never noticed by the Altiri before, since a huge majority of their investigations on others is done entirely using clairvoyant psionic abilities. Even shared sight among a group of individuals through another’s clairvoyant ability does not reach the ten percent. However, the purged individuals who use telepathy actively - with their more powerful Altiri node can clearly see and hear these people in the flesh, and therefore acknowledge the presence of these undetectable people to their connected primary nodes. By this indirect nature, the Altiri discovered the ten percent and tried to study them through their human node’s experiences out of curiosity, while also trying and failing with telepathic-remote-scanning of their psionic capabilities. In laymen terms, psionic echo scanning can work through the telepathic eyesight of the other individual as well, though fails to penetrate any who are considered the ten percent.7Please respect copyright.PENANAUzmUkhYUeO

There is a small unmentioned, distinguishable difference between a psionic scan that returns “not a potential scion” and “unintelligible data” or “no return signal” on a known existing target. Someone who is immune to psionic echo scanning may still in fact be a potential scion after all, or maybe not; there is no way to determine their psionic aptitude. An inconclusive psionic echo scan is an inconclusive response, not a yes or no response. Going by this principle, the ten percent have a net undetermined psionic aptitude, and a general mystery about why they return no return signals exists long after their discovery. According to the AVPSI’s knowledge on physiology of the Cora Sector of the brain, all living creatures (at least of the variety containing souls such as people) emit even the faintest amount of psionic waves from the Cora without realizing it. However, the mere existence of the ten percent puts this claim into jeopardy, which is why the AVPSI and their Scryers would love to know why these people are immune to psionic scans.
