Purge & Breathe

“The target number is 57858. Locate the target,” the disembodied voice of the monitor crackled through an intercom. Jack Singer was in another room lying back on a recliner, encased in soundproof, bulletproof, and radar-proof glass. His breathing was slow and deep, his face expressionless; he wasn’t asleep, but he looked like it. He was in an altered hypnotic state. In double-blind remote viewing sessions like these, an intelligence officer assigns a random number to an intelligence target. The number alone, without context, is provided to a human monitor, who issues that target number to the remote viewer. Psychics like Jack can then use their abilities to locate the object, person, place, or thing that is associated with that target number.
