Since it’s been asked before elsewhere, I’m gonna preemptively answer the question of how Ilia can have Telepathy if she’s an Android here.
How does a Deltan have telepathy? If there is a biological process that grants telepathy, there is probably a way to artificially reproduce it given advanced enough technology. In any event the movie makes explicitly clear that the android V'ger created using the original Ilia had "even the smallest body functions … exactly duplicated" by its mechanisms and thus has the original’s biological functions, knowledge, etc. In game terms we decided that should include her original persona's Telepathy, even if it is a skill which Androids normally don't (and otherwise shouldn’t) have.
