Psychic Attack

“Psychic attack.” You groan, clutching your head. “Almost caught me completely off-guard, but I had a bit of warning.”

“It was Penelope.” Dak’s image says, appearing at your side. “She has a great deal of precognitive potential, activated by the evolution process. It is rare. I will have to consult with someone as to how to proceed.”

“You do that.” You grunt, allowing yourself to be helped to your feet.

“There is something else.” Dak states. “I am having difficulty scanning young Zebulon.”

Well, at this range... You begin.

“Physical distance only affects my telekinesis, Victor.” Dak responds seriously. “My telepathy is unimpeded except by very strong blocks.”

Meaning...

“I wouldn’t trust him fully until we know more about him.” Dak finishes.

“What happened?”

“He knew.”

“Was he watching?”

“No. He was warned moments before the strike. Operative 642113 is nullified.”

“Warned? By whom? A mole?”

“Unknown.”

“Have everyone scanned.”

“Affirmative.”
