And, of course, we know that she likes X-Files.
There wasn't much room to discuss it here, but there's a vague commonality in that Blue Book members' Pieces tend to be exceptions to the usual 'you gotta touch a thing to use your power on it' deal. Neon Vision and Delirium Trigger can both touch a thing and 'bring it under their power', so the power is affecting it passively and can then be activated later. (We see this when Chris uses Trigger to turn on the light without getting out of bed, for example.) Majestic 12, meanwhile, can affect anything within a short radius without actually touching it (eg, the smokescreen he creates is just him suppressing light within that area). While you can't choose your Piece power, Blue Book do control the system that limits and connects people to their Pieces, so they get access to 100% of their Piece's abilities from the get-go. And all that this implies.
