Foreword
SILENCE
In an effort to reduce the overwhelming incidence of insanity and serial killing in the Esper population, the Conclave decided, in the year 2713, to instigate a rigorous program called Silence. The aim of Silence was to condition young Espers from birth. The aim of the conditioning was to teach them not to feel rage.
However, the Conclave soon discovered that it was impossible to isolate that one emotion. In 2713, after a ten year debate over the millions of minds in the Aether, it was decided to change the aim of Silence. Its new mission was to condition young Espers to feel nothing. Not rage, not jealousy, not envy, not happiness and certainly not love.
Silence was a resounding success.
By the year 2814, when the fifth or sixth generation of Espers are being conditioned, everyone has forgotten that they had ever been any other way. The Espers are known to be icily controlled, inhumanly practical and impossible to push to violence.
In keeping with their nature, they base all their decisions on logic and efficiency. According to the Aether, their mistake rate is close to nil.
The Espers are perfect in their Silence.
