Sphincter. Mastery.

It takes a thoroughly masterful lack of sense to not only include this power in a Babylon 5 book but to also give it this embarrasingly silly name.

Honestly, this product sounds like the writer(s?) watched part of season one, thought they'd include a bunch of those extraneous freighters you'd see outside the station for some reason, decided this was all too much work and pulled the rest of the information and all of the pics off the web. And then put in sphincter mastery.
To be fair, the grueling scenes of Sheridan's interrogation by Earthforce black-ops types in season 4's "Intersections in Real Time" would have been ten times worse if a Psi-cop with Sphincter Mastery had entered into the equation ...

edit : And just think what would have happened if Sebastian or even Cartagia had had that particular talent ... *shudder*
