As you can imagine this is an issue that is not easily dealt with. The first is that they appear to be mostly telepathic, and she has been observed to easily dominate Sectoids, Mutons, Andromedons and Vitakara. Her latent power was seemingly activated when she accidentally entered the Sectoid network on the Overseer Dreadnought, and slowly began manifesting over time.Īt the time of compiling this report, we have enough information to determine some things about her psionic abilities.
Patricia Trask is the first known XCOM psion, and now poses a severe threat to us. Were we simply dealing with one soldier who might have cause to hate us, even an XCOM one, this document would not be necessary. The death of her close friend seemingly focused her on the complete destruction of any and all aliens, though this fire appears to be currently tempered. Information gathered from Zar’nartha’intha confirms that she was with XCOM from the beginning, and was a usual Squad Overseer, a role that she fit extraordinarily well. Regardless, she was chosen along with the now-deceased Paige Broker, one of her few friends she made during her time in the military. She had a flawless mission record, and very few died under her command, which was no doubt one of the reasons she was chosen, but there are thousands of others that are similar, so I can only assume that she was just one of the finalists that happened to be chosen, for I can see nothing that marks her as special. Why she was chosen for XCOM is something we are still unsure of. Not a prodigy by any means, and showed no desire to advance within the military hierarchy, but was nonetheless was a reliable soldier. She served with the military in her home nation of England, and, by what records we can find, performed well.
The Ethereals perceive her as a threat and I need to know why.”
