Psions seem to have a deep reverence for the lives of those around them, as their clairvoyance allows them to sense them in intense and mysterious ways. They feel the imprints of those around them, noting the powerful gleaming aura of [[Calus]] to be so blinding that they cannot see past it. They are unnerved by the [[Hive]], because they appear to have empty minds besides their hate and need to survive.{{citation needed}} It is likely that Psions are naturally very social, as they have some ability to communicate with each other telepathically and will even combine their thoughts together in concerts in times of stress or necessity. This telepathy may not be wholly consensual or their higher level thoughts are broadcast to some degree, as ~~some Psions will think~~ in ~~metaconcert if they want to keep a secret from their peers~~.~~{{citation needed}}~~
