“Answers would be nice,” Paz muttered petulantly. “This place gives me the creeps.”
“How did you ever end up in the Corps?” Malia slipped through the door and swept the beam of her flashlight over the room – not a library, as she’d hoped, but some sort of office, in more disarray than anything they’d found yet.

Is Malia psychic? (I think you might need to look at the quotation marks again. At least I find them very confusing.)
Hrrm, what gave the physic impression?
“Squeaked me by the psyche” = some psychick picked up something with their extra sense. Then she sat down to evaluate whatever that was in quiet. That’s how I pieced the confusing part together, anyway.
aaah. Psychological evaluation.
So “squeaked me by” here means “made up for my poor results in”?
Yes. “I was really really good in shooting, so they let me pass on a bad eval.”
Ah, thanks. 🙂 (I think the quotationmarks after “in the chair” belongs a line further up.)
Fixed, thanks!

They at least ALSO want people who can shoot things.
