Regarding the discussion on psi-potential in humans:
I'm a bit confused here, so feel free to correct me if I post something factually incorrect, which I am certain I will at some point. We have humans, psi-beetles, psimorphs in the shape of rock larva and DC mushrooms, and of course we also have Tchort. I can't remember if the game reveals or hints at whether or not rock larva are in fact an extension of Tchort, or if they and similar psimorphs existed before it. In either case there seem to be two distinct types of psionic creatures in Underrail, those who are explained as being creatures that almost have psionics as some underlying life-force that shapes their very physical form (can't remember Ezra's exact dialogue atm) such as psimorphs and Tchort, and creatures who have psionic potential, but are otherwise just regular creatures (humans, Azuridae, probably some more I can't remember).
Are both types of psionic potential natural? Furthermore is psionic potential something that was always latent and uncovered, or is it new to humans and other creatures alltogether? The game pretty strongly suggests that the monoliths are responsible for it, whether by revealing it or creating it. 2001: A Space Oddyssey, anyone?
Unrelated question: Does anyone have or care to write up an overview of whom from Caerus residential we meet or hear about outside of DC? I seem to recall that someone suggested that Ezra was Anton Matveev, though I'm not sure why him in particular, after re-reading the logs.
