: The day Byron joined the Junior Psi Corp was a proud
: day for his parents...They gave him a party with all
: his favorite foods and a few friends. They were also
: tested by the corps and had joined up as well. The
: years passed and....
: Byron excelled at all his studies, leaving teachers
: and classmates alike far behind. If only he wasn't
: so quiet and thoughtful, he would undoubtly be the
: best Psi Corp recruit since...
: the one they spoke of in whispers, Bester. Bester
: was an enigma to most of the Corp. He seemed driven
: and yet was fiercely dedicated to the Corp. Ironically,
: it was Bester who had taken a personal interest in the
: young recruit and had guided his training from behind
: the scenes. This was the first time Bester had ever
: shown such a strong professional interest in the
: younger recruits.
: Back from an air drill, Byron removed his helmet,
: shaking out his long blonde hair, it had finally
: grown back after being shorn off for PsiCorp Bootcamp
: (his mother had wept). Thinking about his mother,
: Byron's hand automatically went to the pendent, a
: family heirloom his mother had presented him when
: he was first selected for PsiCorp Officer training.
: He used the pendent to focus his thoughts, especially
: when he was troubled, like now.....
He was in his quarters and started relaxing but couldn't seem to as he stared at the pendant trying to focus his thoughts
There were people that were fearful of him and his kind. His mind went back to one of the first times he'd tried to telepathically speak to a non-Telepath. She had been eating lunch with him and his mouth was full. She almost fainted when his thought burst into her mind. This was only one of the incidents that caused his mother to take him to the PsiCorp Training center to be tested...
