Certainly out of my own range of experience but I really don't know if anything new has been filed in the library, considering the eclectic assortment of people who've landed in Vallo.
To put it very basic terms, I can read minds. Usually without intending to, but I can also Know information that perhaps the person themselves wouldn't know. It isn't particularly pleasant but I believe it could be of use, seeing as I have to deal with it regardless.
