Question

An abandoned European church is home to an isolated group of these people called the Lacuna, which includes Bodhi. These individuals are distinguished by the presence of a psycellium, a special type of nervous system which can be disabled via “blockers”, pills that have the opposite effect of DMT. These people are hunted by the Biologic Preservation Organization, which includes Whispers, a member of this group who seeks to lobotomize others of his kind. These people (15[1])are indistinguishable from homo sapiens until they are (*) “birthed” by a “parent” like Angelica Turing. These people can “share” abilities like driving and martial arts with members of their cluster, as well as “visit” them, allowing them to interact as if physically co-located. For 10 points, name this psychically gifted subspecies of human that includes Sun Bak, Lito Rodriguez, Riley Blue, and five others all born on August 8. ■END■ (10[1])
