Unless I missed something, which I may have in skimming.

The capability has the Disadvantage - Racial with it. So "aliens" will have to be awfully close kin. I didn't have any plans for them to know the feelings of other species but to have them have to cope with not getting that info. That should lead to some interesting situations. Can their rational minds work out coping methods? Likewise I am not wishing to impose the emotive sense on a lot of the other species. It may be interesting to set up a "Mirror, Mirror" situation with a species that has gone in a different direction than this one did.
Thanks for the post, I will consider that inter-species activity further. Perhaps a species that has a certain proportion of individuals with the capability to receive the Telesend.
