Hey there!
Hope everyone is staying safe through these crazy times. I’m working on a solo UNTIL Snakecharmer based sg and want to switch it up with a telepath who went under Awakening, but will join UNTIL to take down the terrorist organization.
I’m sure UNTIL would say no, but is there SOMETHING that would make UNTIL reconsider or someone who is a telepath, but can join Snakecharmer instead of Mindgame?
Thanks and stay safe!

VIPER isn't above the equivalent of torture of their experimental subjects to achieve results, giving your character additional reason to reconsider his life-choice. Also, VIPER: Coils Of The Serpent p. 132 notes that the Supreme Serpent has lowered Project Awakening's priority and funding, out of concern over creating mentalists who might try to take over the organization. That makes it more likely your character could have been cut loose, maybe even have become a target for termination as a possible threat.
BTW among VIPER's rank-and-file, Project Awakening is more frequently referred to as, "the Clutch."
VIPER puts its recruits through extensive training and indoctrination before being assigned to a Nest, including minor genetic alteration to improve their physical and mental capabilities, even telepathic tampering by the director of VIPER Academy, Augur Maxwell. Perhaps because your character would have undergone the same regimen, he has the talent to detect and identify people who have been through that process, and/or his powers work better on them than on normal folk.
Of course, if you just want to say UNTIL wants him in Snakecharmer, I don't think anyone would criticize you. Including me.
