Tired of being burned at the stake for demonstrating your God-given psychic gifts? S.I.C.O.N. HQ is here to help you!

Our highly trained and dedicated PsiOps councilors are prepared to help you choose the education and career path that is best suited to your unique talents. Listed below are the various stages and levels of development you can expect to achieve with practice, patience, and extensive on-the-job training!

There are currently ten measurable stages of telepathic achievement, and specialists at every level are highly valued by S.I.C.O.N. Intelligence. While the S.I.C.O.N. Intelligence Bureau prefers to favor all levels of specialization equally, candidates must demonstrate a proficiency in each level before they can be allowed to progress to the next phase of their training. This ensures that each recruit will be trained to fit the precise niche which best reflects their interests and goals.

Proficiency Level 5P
Official Title: Probes
