What if psychic warfare is real???
The most
dangerous secrets are the ones that kill.
When a surprising mental breakdown draws too much attention from a secret government group call the Order, 17-year-old Dakota discovers that her so-called boring life isn’t so boring after all. Between the lies, secrets and assassins out to kill her family, Dakota discovers there’s more to paranormal activity than ghosts and cheap mind tricks. Now she must uncover the truth before a new breed of terrorism takes everything away – including her life.

Day 1:
The children are
assembled, selected from a pool of more than a thousand recruits. It’s exciting
to have so many of the former participants’ offspring in this group. I expect
Jennings and Harrison to provide strong recruits. We agreed it best if I didn’t
know their identities to avoid tainting the experiments in any way. Avoid
favoritism. I expect them to pass the weeding, especially with their
genetics.
Training begins
in the morning. Dr. Tate and I have redesigned the protocols. They are more
grueling than the previous tests, designed to push not only the candidates’
physical and mental stamina but also their emotional development. The new
program measures every aspect of their supernatural potential, from telekinesis
to telepathy and more.
We anticipate
better results this time. These children are younger, stronger than their
predecessors. Their abilities, unmatched. But will it be enough? I can measure
their ethics, but I can’t guarantee their willingness to do everything their
country requires.
We’ve run out of
time. Global terrorism has reached unfathomable heights. The attacks have
increased since 9/11. It’s worse than before, worse than during the Cold War. I
fear another Hitler. We should’ve acted swifter when we first discovered Hitler
and Stalin’s early research into the supernatural. Instead, we let our fear
supersede our responsibilities to keep our nation safe.
Never again.
There will be no
safety until we find a better way to train our special forces. Our country will
not be free from the terrorism that threatens us until we resume our goal of
new, advanced weaponry. These experiments are the key. We cannot fail this time
as we have before.
The younger
recruits offer something we haven’t had in the past, a way to shape and train
their morality. We will be able to push the experiments beyond the confines of
humanity. We will bypass ethical concerns and find the recruits we can train to
use their gifts in new ways.
We will teach
them to kill.
