[He nods.] When the Trumps brought us here, they linked our minds through the telepathic network. It's an old theory that they borrowed the telepathic abilities of Travelers to do so, because those who used to have such abilities would find themselves without them, when they arrived here - and were generally more proficient in learning to use the network.
We don't know for sure how they did it, anyway - but the why is fairly clear. Though many are not comfortable with it, in several ways it's invaluable in what we do. We can coordinate with each other instantaneously, over any distance, and it helps us blend in, since we don't have to have conversations that wouldn't make sense in the context of whatever world we're in out loud. And then it also automatically translates for us, even when we're not speaking telepathically. Otherwise, coming from so many different worlds, there's no way we'd be able to communicate at all, even with just each other.
There's more you can do with the telepathic network too, with time and practice - though we're still discovering new abilities with it, after all this time. Some, like projecting your voice and image instead of simply your thoughts, are fairly simple, and easy to learn. Projecting your memories over the network is a little more difficult, and takes more time to learn. And then there are really advanced techniques, such as mind reading, or creating virtual environments.
...I know it can be a lot to take in. Was there anything more specific you wanted to know?
