Now imagine the Illithid terrorists ala PETA etremists. They loudly yell for freedom for sapients while their methods seem to cause counter-productive suffering and societal collapse. Real movement or subtle operation to locate trouble makers and sow confusion?
How creepy would they find psychic humans? Would they be thought parrots mimicking their betters? Or horrifying nightmare-fuel like hearing a cow talk English?
