A psychic research institute is currently investigating a local phenomenon. After a near death experience, Cassandra Wilson, an art student who talks in her sleep, seems to be able to predict the future. However, none of her predictions are remotely happy, and most have to do with people she knows dying. Needless to say, this knowledge is not pleasant, and has resulted in Cassandra seeking psychiatric help. Her psychiatrist, Alexander Marcus, is a firm believer in her psychic abilities, which doesn’t really help her all that much.
Lately, Cassandra has predicted several events of disaster proportions, and she doesn’t know what to do or how to alter the future.
Possibilities
1 Cassandra is not psychic. She is merely a young woman who tends to have nightmares and talk in her sleep. However, Dr. Marcus is profoundly disturbed himself, and the strength of his beliefs in the paranormal will not allow him to consider the possibility that Cassandra is normal. Therefore, he has been making her “predictions” come true.
Investigation will show that every single event that Cassandra has successfully predicted can be accomplished by one person, and that only the predictions that Dr. Marcus have heard come true. He is currently planning a way to make the first of her disaster predictions come true. He will not look favourably on anyone who tries to prevent it or anyone who seems like that might be trying to prove that Cassandra isn’t the real deal. He is also extremely violent when angry.
2 Cassandra is a precognitive. She was always a latent psychic, but almost being killed made her abilities active. If she ever comes to terms with this, her predictions would prove most helpful. It is possible to alter the futures she sees, but it will be difficult and complicated.
3 Cassandra is the subject of a Yithian’s experiment. The Yithian found a way to fragment a human’s consciousness across the time stream. It transposed parts of Cassandra’s consciousness from the future and the present. The nightmares that she has are the memories of her future-self surfacing in her sleep.
As time goes on, it will be noticed that in addition to her visions of the future, she has periods when she can’t remember anything that happened recently. If left alone, the Yithian will eventually become bored with the experiment and abandon it. Cassandra’s precognitive abilities will then start to fade as time catches up to her.
