ESPER RATING and quotients are well above average in all
categories and exceptionally high in some. On planet Deneb IV,
subject officer showed a marked ability in sensing the
telepathic communication used by the inhabitants of that
planet. In at least three cases (see notations on rear of
report), subject officer carried on long telepathic
communication with selected Deneb IV natives and scored 80
percent or higher on comprehension.
History on subject officer from childhood shows a consistent
pattern of esper orientation, dating back to a better than
average ability at the usual childhood "guessing games", some
grade school interest and ability in elementary magician's
trick, et cetera. There is also a strong tendency through the
maternal bloodline toward esper-oriented abilities, dating
back through at least six generations to both males and females
who dabbled in metaphysical studies and, in at least one case,
a female ancestor who was interested in spiritual readings.

------------------------------------------------------
ESPER RATING and quotients are better than average in all
categories. Subject officer's history indicates an esper
orientation pattern since shildwood, evidence in superiority
at "guessing games", reading cards et cetera. Esper-orientation
and abilities are evident through both the maternal and
paternal bloodlines, but in only one case does the indicated
tendency toward ESP go back more than three generations.
Subject officer has been aware of the high ESP rating since
secondary school days and it is, in part, the basis for
interest and vocational training as a psychiatrist.
Participation in tests and studies of other esper-oriented
beings are the subject od a thesis now being published by this
officer in association with the Collage of Medical Sciences of
the Tri-Planetary Academy and was, in fact, the reason for this
officer's posting to the Aldebaran Colony.
It must be stressed this officer's interest in esper-perception
has been in relationship and pursuant to vocation as a
psychiatrist.
- Il nome della città di nascita di Mitchell (Eldman) e quello della città natale di Dehner (Delman) sono uno l'anagramma dell'altro.
