Miles of highway condense together in your head as you watch the yellow lines pass under you. You hated long drives, especially with passengers that don’t appreciate your music taste. You reached into the console and pulled out your pack of cigarettes with the lighter inside. You put the last cigarette in your mouth and tried to light it but with no success. “Almost got it,” you whispered to no one in particular. You kept steering with one hand as you grabbed the lighter and lit it, letting the smoke escape out the slightly cracked window. You were almost coordinated enough to use your telekinesis to smoke. To your right sleeping in the passenger seat was your resident telepath, Denise. Sprawled out in both seats behind you was the precog, Cassandra. That’s how you knew it would be an uninteresting trip, based on how relaxed she looks. It was just going to be a routine mission, a snatch and grab. You didn’t care for the details of who you were kidnapping, you only knew he was a natural psychic. He must have been caught in the act of using it, intentionally or not. About one percent of the population are born with a certain organ attached to their brain stem known as the Sigmata. Most who have it won’t even realize they are mutants with its effect being so weak. The powerlifter who unknowingly channels telekinesis into his muscles to help with his lift or the charismatic celebrity who everyone loves for no particular reason, both examples of natural born psychics that are harmless. They can still far outperform any non-mutant but have modest achievements and don’t break the veil of secrecy. On the other hand there are some psychics who have to be controlled, the pyromaniac who realizes if he focuses enough he can start a flame with his mind or the dictator who could compel people to commit genocide with his voice alone. To make these people disappear is the job of the secret government organization known as the Department of Psychic Studies.
You began to see signs of civilization out in rural Kansas, soon enough you were in a small town with only the gas station lighting up the night. You glanced at your own gas tank, nearly on E you pulled into the isle to get some fuel, and more pressingly, some cigarettes and energy drinks. Denise stirred and looked up at you as if to say, “what’s going on?” Then, seemingly having got her answer went back to sleep, pullhoodie over her eyes. You hated when telepaths did that, pull information out of your head without conversation. You supposed it was worse when Cassandra responds to you before you even say anything. You walked in the store with a jingle of bells to wake up the clerk slumped over the counter. He wiped the sleep out of his eyes and as if he could read your mind too he pointed, “Bathroom’s over there mister.”As you washed your hands in the dirty sink, you could hear more bells jingle as someone else entered the store. You went to grab some paper towels but the dispenser was empty. You annoyedly wiped your hands on your pants as you walked out into the scene of a robbery. The clerk had his hands up as a stranger held a shotgun to him. He noticed you and for a moment aimed at you, in that split second the clerk reached under the counter. The robber reeled back and shot the clerk, blowing him away. He turned to you as you dove behind a shelf. Some teammates you have, they must not have sensed him coming… [LVL I Telekinetic] Max lift 100lbs, Max distance 100ft (within line of sight), Max objects to control: 1>Draw your own pistol (1d10)>Push shelves towards the attacker (1d10)>Break his neck (1d10)>Force him to the ground with kinesis and subdue him (1d10)>Write in

Social media desensitizes and radicalizes even moderates into believing heinous and abhorrent behavior is acceptable under the correct context. Spend just 5 minutes on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, you will find hordes of these deranged people. They exist among us. The FBI knows about them but never acts until it is far too late. Western society is on a one-way fast track to collapse as long as social media continues to destroy minds and decay the culture.
