route to discovery, where I met all of you. And here we are now with over a decade of research on the subject of noetics, THE science that explains the intersection of genetic expression and consciousness.”
    Sara’s chest was overcome with a tidal wave of fear. She grabbed James’ hand and dug her nails in as Shin’s voice filled the auditorium. “GenetiCorp is ahead of the curve. We have genetic proof of the existence of Sensitive superhumans. We know parapsychological experiences, paranormal experiences if you will, are real. Additionally, we’ve spent the last several years studying the impact of electromagnetic energy on the human energy field and we learned that hearing is the most fragile of the five traditional senses. Specifically, a Sensitive superhuman’s hearing is very acute and remains in tact long after the average person, even when exposed to high decibel levels.”
    Sara breathed in sharply. That was data from her study. There had been only one study group over a year ago and although the results were conclusive about the sensitivity of human hearing to electromagnetic energy, it was hardly ready for application. There needed to be more research and significantly more test subjects before the evidence would be considered viable in the scientific community.
    “You may be wondering what this research has to do with today’s meeting. In short, everything.”
    Dr. Shin paused for what seemed like dramatic effect. Sara detected a slight smirk, as though he was enjoying delivering the news. She let out an audible gasp.
    “It is with a heavy heart I report to you that this morning, a little bit after 9 a.m., there was an electromagnetic incident that will go down in history. An event that will change our lives forever.”
    “There may be some of you who are doubtful, even scared about this information. But I assure you, if you are in this room, you were handpicked to come with GenetiCorp into the next wave of the future. It is no accident that you were asked to arrive here early this morning. You all possess Sensitive DNA and you are needed here for this very moment in history. You have the unique opportunity to be a Believer in the future of humankind. From this historic day forward, the parent corporation GenetiCorp is no more. Welcome to Project Aquarius.”
    The screen changed dramatically, revealing the wavy lined logo once again. In a perfectly choreographed motion, members of Dr. Shin’s entourage unveiled a new white company polo shirt with a black Project Aquarius logo embroidered over the left breast. In the next beat, the shirts were tossed into the crowd. One for every person.
    Sara bit the inside of her cheek. Metallic blood leaked onto her tongue. It was all so surreal.
    “The dawning of the Age of Aquarius is upon us. And you have been ushered into the future. For your safety this facility will be on lock down for the next seven days.”
    A surge of noise from the crowd blocked out Dr. Shin’s voice. Did he say they were all being locked in for a week? And earlier did he imply that there was an electromagnetic terrorist attack?
    Sara’s mind flooded with memories of every conversation she had ever had with Dr. Shin. She knew he was an egomaniacal rich prick, but she never imagined he would have the foresight to make a bold move like this.
    James interrupted her racing thoughts, “We have to get out of here. This is crazy. I’m not staying.”
    Sara stood up, ready to flee.
    “Everyone please REMAIN SEATED!” Shin’s voice boomed. Someone had cranked the microphone up a few notches.
    “SIT DOWN!” His angry voice reverberated in Sara’s chest. She obediently sat back in her chair.
    The room followed.
    Dr. Shin spoke with pressure in his voice, “I am sure you all have a lot of questions. This is a lot to digest. As discussed, I am available to answer your inquiries. But I need your total cooperation. Please understand that you are on complete lockdown for your own safety. This
