Even so, if someone is going to be serving with an IST, especially at the level that Warrior (and even Drifter) seem to be, there's a lot of responsibility, a lot of administration and probably coursework on "How to win friends and influence people". Warrior put in his time as head of IST Washington DC if I'm not mistaken, and experience and necessity would have required him to develop (perhaps unwillingly) the diplomatic skills needed. As regard telepathy, I always assumed that the IST would have some method of vetting telepaths, perhaps a Geneva Convention approved training course and regular reviews by a panel of telepaths and psychiatrists. Considering Magellan was trained by IST Geneva's metahuman research facility, I would assume that he passed those requirements.
I'll have to see about converting Magellan to 4e.
I probably need to write up IST Geneva's "Mount Olympus" research facility too.
I need more hours in my days.
