"Okay. This might be a little weird," Atton says, and touches Kale's forehead.

There's a chime, and then the abrupt presence of another mind - made all the more unnerving by the fact that Atton's mind is very tangibly not human. There are a variety of reasons for this: He's Kazic, and Kazic are only Near-Human, refined by evolution to be hunters and survivalists. He's exceptionally, ridiculously powerful, and you don't get to be such a strong focus point for the Force without drifting away from your humanity. And his experiences and training have altered his mindscape in ways it should not have been altered.

The result is that he feels more like an overly intelligent predatory animal than a regular human.
