Journals: Book 2, Entry 04 “Susperience” Quatrain 23, Century 3: "The two-sighted will meet death in sleep / Purged from the nightmare of a hidden enemy / Barricades protect spurious sleep / And the spectre is lanced with a common blade" Found myself cruising along the coast to Prescott, Maine where a renowned group of psychics were burying one of their own. Rachel Cates had died mysteriously in her sleep. I usually think of hotlines and con artists whenever psychics are mentioned. But with all I’d seen in the past two years, it seemed possible the Gua had decided this was a group they couldn’t afford to ignore. I’m no psychic, but I had a strong hunch there was an alien in my future. Posing as an investigator for Cates’ insurance company I went to talk to Ellen, a clairvoyant, and part of the local universities illustrious paranormal studies department. Besides Ellen, the group also included a telekinetic and a man who could cast images that weren’t there -- sounded like an academic super-hero team to me. Ellen was sure Rachel had been murdered, claimed the coroner’s report was false. She explained her theory of "susperience," suspect experience, another spin on the psychic game that caused the wielder to invade the dreams of another person and scare them to death – literally. Ellen thought there was one psychic in their group who had the potential to create susperience – a pretty boy named Quinn, definitely not your average angry 20-something. I caught up with Quinn at a local pool hole. He believed what Ellen said, Rachel was definitely murdered, but not by him. Seems Quinn was kicked out of the group, and not for bending spoons. Maybe the University wasn’t the real reason all these psychics were in Prescott? Quinn told me the program was government-funded and that was all he was giving up – until he pointed a finger at Molly Simon, the telekinetic. Quinn had read my mind, knew I was looking for aliens in Maine. That could mean my time was running out. I went to see Molly who busted my watch with her brain and basically told me to get out of town. Sorry, Molly, not without my alien. Eddie traced the government agency that had been funding the Universities research project – SETI – the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. The psychics had discovered the Gua, and now the Gua were going to kill them – and they seemed to be adopting psychic skills to do it. The Gua already had an edge on us with their increased strength and healing factor – the last thing we need is for them to exploit the hidden powers of our minds. Gonna need more than me and Eddie on this one – hate to say it, but it looks like I’m about to call a psychic friend.
