psychics... that's what this comes down to. People with supernatural powers of the mind. Born from a genetics lab only 2 years ago, the 'psyche' gene was spread to a total of 35 subjects. either kidnapped or willing volunteers, or a combination of both, we are not certain. These people had surgery conducted on them by an unknown surgeon, now deceased. The psyche gene was given to these people, and all of them suffered the symptoms of a terrifying affliction.
They all received great powers of the mind, being able to manipulate the world around them with but a stray thought. This 'gift' also operated on a subconscious level, using psychokinesis to increase their own strength, speed and other physical attributes, and also giving them the power of flight.
These psychics can pick up a car with their bare hands with no physical exertion, dodge machine fire with ease, fly near the speed of sound and can rip up a forest of trees with a mere thought. They are also immune to most conventional firearms and can even withstand a tank shell to the face. Worst of all, the sudden introduction of the psyche gene into their systems has resulted in a rapid deterioration of the mind. After 2 years of sanity the subject's minds could not take any more abuse and all 35 subject have lost control. Barely aware of themselves, and appearing to be acting on nothing more than raw instinct, they went on a rampage leaving nothing but destruction in their path. Though they were captured many times, they could never be detained for long.
I propose the funding of a service that will attempt to eliminate the threat. These people are a danger to themselves and to the entire world. The service would be in charge of the detection, capture and possible termination of psychics and the minimal loss of life and property. These scientific abominations can not, regrettably, be considered human anymore, and must be stopped at all costs.

project raven has come a long way since its formation many years ago. Over the years the project has developed to the point were we have become the head of the attack force being lead against the psyche threat. With the immense budget the government had given us, we were successful in synthesizing a treatment that can safely administer the psyche gene into people without risking harm to the subject. Thanks to this, we have been able to create a squadron of 'anti-psyche' psyches codenamed 'the rogues'. Just as powerful as regular psyche, the only exceptions being the first test subjects, the rogue's two team leaders, named rogue elites, who both proved to be far superior to normal psyches, the success of the serum has allowed the rogues to conduct coordinated strikes against psyche kind, resulting in their quick termination. We thought we had won.
Then he came.
Jason Sorenson.
The only naturally born psyche in history. The son of Robert Sorenson, one of the original 35 test subjects. Robert had conceived a child a year after his initial psyche surgery, before he lost his mind and murdered his wife. The orphaned Jason had somehow survived his father as an infant, and now it is painfully clear how. Jason, aged 16 came under our radar after a confrontation with the deranged Robert 2 years ago. After a fight that rocked the city of Los Angeles, Jason had defeated Robert, injuring him fatally. With his dying breath, Robert acknowledged Jason as his son, and the guilt caused Jason to go mad. Insane, but unlike his father, still completely aware of himself, Jason launched a direct attack on Project Raven, proving to be an exceptionally gifted psyche. It is apparent that natural born psyches can be just as powerful as our elite rogues, and are just as in control of themselves. This raised many issues. Firstly, how could a psyche so strong be stopped? How many more 'natural borns' are out there, hidden from us?
Desperate, we created more rogues, even Jason's closest friend from the orphanage. When he saw what he was doing, however, he fled and joined Jason's caused. Together they are a formidable force, even taking out one of our elites, destroying an entire school in the process. Now only one elite remains to lead our rogues, worse, the more we use the psyche serum, the more tainted it becomes. Soon it will become unusable. Other ways of combating the psyche threat have been considered, and we are pushing for more funding to proceed to our next phase, using robotics to fight our enemies.

The truth
as written by Jason Sorenson.
After reading raves' report I have only one thing to say. BULLSH*T!!
psyches going insane after 2 years? Well, thats a part-truth I guess. As I discovered last year in some old documents, raves himself had been the partner of the geneticist who created the psyche gene. Out of jealousy, or simple xenophobia, raves deliberately tainted the gene after seeing the first psyche - my father. However, only 3 of the 35 original psyches became insane, not all of them as raves had claimed. He used these incidents as an excuse to commit genocide – to destroy our 'race'. I wont stand for it. I will not stand by and watch innocent, mostly harmless psyches massacred. I wont let more people be kidnapped to serve as rogues, the way my friend had been. This has to stop...
