Mostly I was looking at Facade as inspiration for a possible solution to the detection problem. I am probably going to work with a variant on Compartmentalized Mind using the old Facade power from Aces Abroad as inspiration. I will post the results in a day or two probably when I've had a chance to clean up. I will probably add a few levels to the Delta Mind Block and add No Signature to it as well. The Compartmentalized Mind allows the Facade (based on the snapshot gathered by the devouring) to be presented as the "dominant" mind while the Delta hides dormant until activated by an external AA trigger, at which point it switches places with the Facade.
Based on the study of the surviving Deltas, the IST's (and every other organization on Earth and Meeranor) have concocted a dozen ways to try and ferret out the shapeshifters. Once you know what to look for and what to expect, detecting a Delta is a trivial issue for the more seasoned telepaths. For instance all IST agents now have a unique, tagged radio-telepathy implant that self-destructs if you a) attempt to remove it or b) eat the agent. The main reason they weren't detected before the invasion is simply that no one was looking for them, with all the Pre-Y2K worries, the last thing anyone was looking for was body snatchers.
