If you haven't been keeping up with Umbral Intentions, things have taken a dark turn and then an even more horrifying one. It's only going to get worse. You can catch up here. I'll wait.
Josh has to find the person responsible for the invisible and intangible mind control units. He has a number of psychic individuals with different powers at his disposal due to the high risk factor for lots of innocent people. Looking for an unknown individual who doesn't leave behind fingerprints, or DNA, or a money trail is an impossible proposition for normal investigative procedures, especially given the fact that the mastermind has likely never set foot in any of the place his or her plots have taken action. This last fact also baffles the psychic investigation possibilities.
The mastermind has excellent insulation from being read. The mastermind sends out a packet of energy. That energy is pure and untainted. The way it is assembled might be analysed and put to use later, but it's not identifiable to a manufacturer or location--it can't be read like a person either either.
In the next step of the evil plans the energy passes instructions to an unwilling participant. After that the energy makes a second unwilling participant answerable to the first one. This is even good insulation against clairvoyants, who see the future. The clairvoyance gift tends to focus on the psychic with the power, and people close to or important to that psychic. Sometimes clairvoyants will see big events or ones with far reaching consequence, but those still tend to be vague, and focused on the psychic too.
So what is Josh supposed to do? He has manpower. He most certainly has the drive to see this through. Will he catch a break? Will the mastermind of this terrible outward spiralling madness slip up somehow? Stay tuned to Umbral Intentions to find out.
