One Problem Solved: the fifth mission

Robert Lawson
Regional Director

The agents were able to locate and apprehend the local serial murderer. He appears to be a rogue psion; according to his notes and papers his name is Walter Rounds and he is associated with the Mindwreckers. It is still unclear what, exactly, he was intending to do. The papers he had on him indicated that a stone idol, found at the scene, was an integral part of whatever was occurring and that the murders were part of a ritual meant to "activate" or "empower" the idol. Strangely, he believed this nonsense enough to risk apprehension when our agents found him. As you are aware, such nonsense is used to trick the uninformed and superstitious, yet he acted as if it were true. I suspect that it was essential to whatever "project" he was working on.
The perpetrator was injured during apprehension and hospitalized. Shortly after awakening from surgery we moved him to one of our detention facilities.
The arresting agents were also injured but seem to have come through the experience without any long-term injuries.
Hopefully, with Mr Rounds in custody, the gang tensions will fizzle out as the murder spree ends. Unfortunately, it's just not practical to reveal his arrest and maintain psychic secrecy in this instance.
The idol and all associated paperwork have been transferred for research.
