The Cuchulain Foundation of Neptune is the single largest and most organized research body devoted exclusively to psi, and is quite significantly curtailed in its research by frantic censorship legislation put into place post-Freakout. Storing a copy of the Signal, or even a recognisable segment, is grounds for serious legal repercussions, even if the copy is derived by accident.

Nevertheless the Foundation is responsible for current medical terminology and techniques for operants, and maintains a charity wing for finding, treating and training inexperienced or unsupported operants before they can harm themselves or others with unrestrained powers.

However, rumours of far shadier practices exist in the fringes of human space, and it is a definite truth on Earth and in the bioconservative habitats, lobotomies are administered to latent and operant individuals to ‘psi-geld’ them rather than permitting their ‘infection’ to develop further.
