"Well, there's me, to begin with. Though the trick with the music...that one's new." Ben's met Cal, whose Force powers are something he's never seen before, so he's interested. What Mantis has may not be the Force, but the powers are similar. "That song you were humming got my attention, though I'm guessing it was meant to."

He wonders how similar and different his abilities and Mantis's are. Maybe, as he spends more time with other psychics, he'll learn.

It's a little strange, thinking of himself as a "psychic". In his universe, the Force is something much deeper than that, something intrinsically part of him and who he is. It's deeply bound to his galaxy and its history. He's glad it followed him to the Nexus. His powers are his identity. Not all, but they're what makes him who he is - for better and for worse. He's already decided that he and Mantis have things in common.

"I didn't realize you got one of those. They're friendly creatures. Mine is still getting settled."
