Since the originating thread of the following post seems to be quite busy, I'm going to snip and transfer this organ to this thread. It seems more of a fit here as well, with all of the other work we've accomplished.****** *

So many threads of the storyline are available to him artistically with the telempathic equation of Honor, Nimitz and Raoul. It seems the possibilities would be exciting to him.
EQN ⇒ Telempathy + Honor + Nimitz = FUN
EQN ⇒ Telempathy + Honor + Nimitz + Raoul = FUN²
Gedankenexperiment: I wonder if Honor can telempathically interact with Nimitz & Raoul simultaneously. I know that treecats do it naturally, but can a human hold open two or more frequencies simultaneously?
IOW, is Honor's telempathic prowess truly multi-channel, can she participate in a three-way call?
Of course Raoul will be bonded. What would be a good name for Raoul's 'Cat? Hmm, Royale!
EQN ⇒ Telempathy + Honor + Nimitz + Raoul + Royale = FUN³
∴ Conceivably, Honor could eventually develop a 4-way telempathic conversation. Even if Nimitz and Raoul has to bridge the gap and hold the channel open for her. Albeit, if Honor stops being a spoiled brat and eat more vegetables, namely celery, her telempathic prowess may increase.
The possibilities are endless!
If there was a telempathic measuring device (
telempathometer) that measures the telempathic strength (TS) from (1 to 10) where would Honor fit on that scale?
Perceived telempathic strengths*- Beth = 0
- Treecats = 8*
- Memory Singers = 9-10
- Honor = X. Is X > 5?
- Raoul = Y. Y = ?
* Of course, I can only guestimate Nimitz' telempathic strength as opposed to a Memory Singer's. And I think it's a safe assumption that Raoul(TS) > Honor(TS).
I am assuming that telempathic strength does not vary between non memory singers since I do not recall appropriate textev, which may be incorrect, given → Memory Singer's (TS) varies.
Telempathic strength between Memory Singers does vary. ISTR sharing pillow talk with textev that Samantha is
one of the most powerful Memory Singers?
The TS of Nimitz is interesting. If TS could be measured, would Nimitz' TS be less than what it was before he became mind blind? Conceivably -- since he lost his ability to send -- Nimitz' receiver has gained more strength. Considering the documented evidence that in the face of losing one of the natural senses, a human's remaining senses kick in to compensate. E.g., at the lost of sight a human's hearing becomes excessively stronger.
*I, We, are flying
M ND BL ND, therefore the author's mileage may vary. Originally I placed the treecats at 9, but decided to recalibrate them to an 8. To make room for Memory Singers whose TS would undoubtedly measure below Samantha's yet greater than a "normal" 'Cat's.
"Casting Pavel Young" should be linked. Picard says
