High-Value Target

 The CIA was desperate when they asked Pastor Will Lyons to help them understand paranormal attacks against Western Democracies. One of their analysts suggested that the only way to counter supernatural assaults was through faith, and Will was known for his faith. Will's wife cautioned him about getting involved with the CIA, but he was certain that helping his country was the right thing to do. That was before they gave him a security clearance and briefed him on all of the details.

 During the Cold War, the CIA and the KGB both had psychic weapons programs. After investing millions, the US shut down their operations, concluding that the results were unreliable. They assumed the Russians would reach the same conclusion. That was before the strange events started to happen. These bizarre occurrences involved natural phenomena, such as tsunamis, earthquakes or extreme weather conditions. But why would anyone suspect those types of things? It was the timing; the events were consistently and suspiciously optimized to compromise strategic military operations or disrupt important government summits. For years, the CIA suspected some kind of telekinetic weapon but couldn't prove it

     Then, a defecting Russian spy confirmed not only the weapon's existence but also its imminent use in a massive, preemptive strike against the United States. The current administration in Washington played down such a fantastic threat; fearing release of the information would create panic and cause a political backlash. This left Will with a choice between risking the lives of millions of people or breaking his oath and running afoul of the US Espionage Act. Back then, Will didn't know the meaning of high-value target but he does today.
