Line 95:
* ''[[Traveller]]'' : Averted. It is illegal in the Imperium to have a psi school and presumably one can't accidentally develop psi powers to the point where they are dangerous. Among the Zho, psis are an oligarchy and don't need such things. An [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] might be that they are a Mutant Draft Board that existed so long that it is the essence of the ruling class.
** Since you cannot legally exist as a psi in Zhodani society without accepting 'intendant' status and the accompanying training and incorporation into the social order, that is a valid interpretation. Of course, since the status in question is a massive upgrade from 'prole' to 'aristocrat', virtually no one sane ever declines the offer.
* ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' has this trope gone mad...rather like everything else in Alpha Complex. Mutations are officially treason, however a mutant may confess their mutation and become registered - they must wear a yellow stripe on their uniform and effectively become second class citizens, passed up for promotions and scapegoated for any number of treasons. {{spoiler|By the way, if you're a player character, you're a mutant. Oh, and since Alpha Complex is run by The Computer, the Machine Empathy mutation is cause for immediate execution and probable erasure.}} There is, of course, PSION, the pro-mutant Secret Society that wants to put the mutants in charge, and are therefore [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|doubleplus]] treasonous.
