By 2026, medical science discovered a new genetic variation in humans with unique needs. They called it homo vampirous due to those needs. Ordinary people called them vampires, and these vampires called ordinary people sapiens.

Vampirism became accepted in the United States before the other nations, and vampires rapidly created large communities in state-supplied zones. Several government agencies then came together to create a new and separate bureau in charge of monitoring and policing vampire-related crimes and activities. Many members chosen for their state task forces had latent skills.

However, only one in a thousand showed any actual ability out of the average population. Of those, only one in ten possessed several gifts. Most psychics ignored their talents before, and they didn’t want to use them now. Those who rejected the new line of work endured bullying, harassment, or even blackmail until they accepted the positions or committed suicide.

Testing confirmed that Amber Darien was a powerful, genuine psychic, and those in charge assigned her to the state task force that had the most vampire encounters. She tried for years, before assignment, to ignore the dreams and visions she’d been having, and she rarely used her psychic abilities at all. Instead, she helped her assigned task force only after being coerced and given no other choice.

They called themselves the Massachusetts Hyper-normal Investigative Task Force, or the MaHnIT team. The beat cops pronounced them ‘man it.’ They covered the entire state and not just the city of Springfield, where their headquarters were located.

By the middle of her second year with the team, she’d become the most well-known psychic investigator in the U.S. She tried to keep her name and face hidden for privacy’s sake, so her off hours were her own. She had become famous. Or infamous, depending on who you talked to. The media had given her a name. They called her ‘The Oracle.’
