I see dead people

[biiowiired]

Greetings, aliens. I'm the Ψiioniic. You can call me Psii, but don't get cocky. [[ He immediately proceeds to get cocky. ]] Considering all the disturbing-as-fuck things I've heard on this Network since I got here, I have a proposition for you. Let's talk about dying.

First, no one's going to die in the immediate future. I think. Say, the next few nights? Second, I'm here to offer my... services... as a... clairvoyant. [[ A couple seconds' pause. ]] I have visions of future deaths. I can warn you or your quadrantmates about them. No, you can't prevent the hideous or embarrassing ways in which you will die. But you can do yourselves a favor and get your shit in order. I accept payment in food, electronic parts, and lessons on how to... make stuff out of thin air? That's a thing here apparently.

If the next Jaunt's as dangerous as you all say, it's going to be a bloodbath. Try not to die in stupid ways. I have to watch that shit.

[[ He doesn't bat a psychic eye at on-purpose murder. ]]

Hard to say. I'm not able to warn most of the people in them. We kind of went crazy with the space travel. Being in psychic contact with all of you changes the game. I might be able to pinpoint the time better because of that, but I'm also working in an entirely new psychic environment here. I'll know for sure once people start dying, but until then, let's just say a few nights.

Oh, you're an alien who wasn't normally part of some kind of psychic hivemind/poorly understood analog of an ant colony? The science fiction writers from my version of Earth will be quite surprised.

You know, if you think of it that way, psychic hive mind might be one cause of me seeing people dying in horrifying and/or stupid ways. Don't know if it works as well with... whatever you all are. But yeah, talking to people in their brains is new for me.

We'll have to see how those two things interact, then. Normally I'd offer to help experiment, but I'd have to keep living with these people even after I killed one of them, and that level of recrimination bores me greatly.

[biiowiired]

Not volunteering, for the record.

[awitchdidit]

Oh don't worry, I don't kill people just for fun and/or science. I'm rather out of practice anyway, for aforementioned reasons of recrimination.
