Using a controversial psychiatric-organic approach, they have achieved remarkable results with a group of adolescents who have developed extraordinary behavioral and paranormal abilities, yet unseen by the scientific community. Their telepathic abilities and connectivity are first steps towards what researchers hope will become an expansive cognitive and emotional network, known as a telepathic commune. The methods applied in the experiment are unconventional – employing psychosexual and co-dependent approaches that conflict with the law. Some subjects exhibit various side-effects and consequences as a result of these methods, which researchers are attempting to fine-tune. The next phase of the experiment will immerse the test subjects away from the institute, and under the guided care of willing ‘foster’ families. These 'foster parents' will be compensated financially, and required to sign a contract of silence, preventing disclosure about the nature of the telepathic subjects.
