EPTWatts entered the great hall, the scent of palpable dust and ancient archives occurred to him. It was at the same time rich and tantalizing, but the excess dust might've gave a hint of neglect. Almost as if handling the books would saturate one with the weight and task of research and the burden of knowledge.
On either side a library of books enclosed upon him forebodingly, and the wooden door, where within Chairman Routhe awaited, welcomed him.
Despite the sonorous presence of the semi-dark hall the atmosphere was harmless, but also felt ancient as if deserving respect and giving slight admonition of mind. The secretary had issued Watts inside without fuss, knowing he was expected, and there was a certain indifference in her manner, treating Watts as yet another doddering bureaucratic fool who sought the encounter of the Chairman.
And so, he applied the handle of the door and stepped inside. More light flooded into this room, only due to the vast window, which faced west, but the setting sun was shrouded in grey cloud. The entire day had been overcast.
But the light was enough to illuminate the semi-colourless scene and maybe enough to read a book until such a time the light failed into dark blue, and the reader could see no more.
There, standing at the corner of the windows, not in the full-light was Chairman Doran Routhe, with his hands folded in front of him. Donned in a usual black coat, maybe due to the cold temperature.
The manner in which he was standing was as if he was, the sole owner of a power-plant beholding the scene he owned. But his hands were NOT behind his back in gloating triumph. Did his pose suggest second thoughts to some dependable empire? Watts thought privately.
But there was no noticeable greed or weakness here. Doran Routhe was not in the garb of some thin, sniveling bureaucrat. His black-themed clothing, and rubber-plated coat, his broad strong appearance and clean-faced profile, a neat hair-cut suitable for a US president. All these things combined, with a clean-shaven face, and not-yet greyed hair of a man, in his 40s, gave Watts the impression of slight intimidation, such that he almost slightly regretted accepting the invitation. But when he turned to acknowledge Watts, he released his arms to his sides, and his profile formed into a welcoming smile which met his eyes, as they became misty, rather than greedy.
Immediately half the official-atmosphere vanished and he trudged forward, applying a re-assuring pat on Watts's shoulder.
He spoke, and the heaviness of his voice was a projected tranquilizer in itself.
"Good evening.. evening is it my friend? Watts, Dr James R watts!"
Watts interpreted the usage of his full title as a mutual recognition of respect, but had always felt slightly abashed at getting on board with haughty ceremony.
He replied routinely.
"Hi, hello Doran. It's great to see you."
Watts was about to, for fear of the impending vacuum, blindly comment on the weather, though he was spared this nervous reflex.
Doran continued, his smile slightly melting but the expression in his eyes the same, as if delivering a task, that Watts had yet to remain equal to.
"Watts, I have a slightly bold request. And I need you to produce it within 48 hours."
THE REQUEST
From : Dr James R Watts
Recepient: Chairman D Routhe
Directive : The 8 personality types concerning our Project Ghost.
When our great precursor to psychic-analysis, Carl Jung first submitted this research. He had classed these 8 aspects of measure, of being a personality type.
But that assumption has been an error, of which my current research has perfected.
They're not all really classifications, but certain measurable aspects of character which are found in disparate people.
These different measures, or metrical aspects of psychic tenacity vary in concentration, relative to their situational form.
Some of the themes oppose each other in a lateral, or horizontal duality of measure.
While others could be considered, a fixed way of acting, or rather.. how the subject experiences their surroundings, fellow people and current scenario.
EXTRAVERSION VS INTROVERSION
vital : [definition] Performing an essential function in the living body.
psychic : [definition] Affecting or influenced by the human mind.
We must begin, foremost, explaining the key core difference between Introversion and Extraversion. Tradition and history suggests the clichè, that those who are assumed to be 'introversion', are withdrawn and reticent in character.
Let that assumption reign, but we must understand the underlying dynamic, of their individual mind and being. Or at least where their perception is positioned.
Take the illustration of a Sunder Ball (Or plasma ball), possibly one of the most beautifully visual inventions current technology has brought us. It is, a glass sphere, containing a smaller sphere. The Smaller sphere projects and emanates these flowing and drifting threads of steadily moving light.
![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/PPyZMCV.jpg)
These threads of light will respond to touch and contact. They will tend towards a hand that applies itself to the glass ball, replying and reacting to external encounter.
With this tenuous but perfect illustration, imagine that the extravert's region of experience and awareness, is situated on the outer layer, while the introvert's layer of awareness is found in the inner-sphere.
Remark, that these currents and threads of activity and energy are not, ably guided and controlled at will by the introvert, or any person for that mater.
It is enough to know that the situational awareness of an introvert is marked to be on the inner layer of the spherical illustration. The extravert, will act and react to things happening outside him, in his daily life and ongoings, while being little aware of the underlying currents that flow within him.
Once again, these threads of energy can be compared to mental, physical, emotional and vital currents found within the body and mind. Most of these currents are.. responsive to external influences and tantalizing encounters. And they are, in a steady generalized way, compared to what is known as the 'id'.
id : [definition] (psychoanalysis) primitive instincts and energies underlying all psychic activity.
But we cannot affordably declare complete authority on the unknown parts of the mind, by attaching diagrammatic labels, at this point. For now at least remember this notion, at the present.
So if the extravert hears a type of musical song playing, he might respond in some habitual or secular manner, while the introvert might enter some introspective dialogue, and possibly over-analytically brood over WHY he is enticed by some song. On the other hand an introvert might feel morbidly disinclined to submit to the invitational yearnings of the music, believing or feeling, he must try control the vital & psychic currents within his being.
CONCLUSION:
Our ghost agents, if found to be natural extraverts, will have to become introverts, to become aware of their nature.
On the other hand if we find a way of channeling their potential, without them undergoing introspective-insight, and.. can't afford the risk of unleashing these advanced soldiers, they would have to remain extraverts and have some kind of neural-control-inhibitor mechanism installed in their bio-system, limiting their potential capacity.
THINKING VS FEELING
A person who is said to tend more to 'thinking', is someone who is able to retreat to a semi-immeasurable realm of abstract safety, and undertake an inner dialogue of thinking and solving his experiences.
But, they might still very much - unknowingly - be at the mercy of what they're feeling. So the quality, frequency and overall rate of thinking might be slowed down or diminish in strength, if they're lacking vitality, strength, or basic health.
They might be in some type of pain, which disturbingly brings us to the notion of the 'Neo-Dissassociative Disorder'.
Of Feeling, those who tend towards making decisions and acting upon 'feeling', are more likely to engage and act in accord with what they're immediately feeling.. and once again, a very non-specific general criteria.
An array of examples could be, their metabolic and respiratory health, or after-affects of a meal. Their mood, or how they feel after encountering someone, they like or dislike.
Such decision-making based on immediate feelings, means this person might have more access to the internal honesty of their personal body and mind, but will have difficulty relaying their feelings into a coherent dialogue.
On the other hand, they might act on impulse or instinct.
CONCLUSION:
It is for that reason, that our ghost agents must have mastery and insight into both these regions of thought.
INTUITION VS SENSE
Both these words could easily be translated into some type of inexplicable urge, where within the subject has some telepathic advantage over their environment and situational encounter. The ability to sense, to detect something. Or conversely intuition, the ability to divine something via the flashes of insight that occur within the mind.
'Sensing', is a much more physical sensual faculty of mind, and simultaneously circular and linear at the same time. The person, could simply interpret a physical scent and base their feelings on that measure.
Or on the other hand, some subtle vibration or atmospheric tension. A hidden resonance of unpleasing harmony, and.. based on this inner whim, they could divine something which other people ordinarily could not. This applies to daily life and routine, and not something necessarily subtle or ESP related.
On the next hand, the 'intuition', where within flashes of images and mental impressions, take the form of a two-way barrage of insight, is a much more active dialogue of psychic-impression.
CONCLUSION:
Our Ghost agents must perfect both Sensing and Intuitive interpretation.
JUDGING and PERCEIVING.
Someone who tends more towards the way of judging, always has a pivot of.. some life-style or belief system which serves as baseline.
Their decisions and experience are always centralized around this, and also helps them to see the world and their experiences, through an ideological lense.
People who are considered 'judging' in their nature, will have their experience and perception filtered and shaped by what belief framework they abide by... and their decisions, feelings,
and actions are actuated by what they encounter in relation to their individual 'framework'.
Some one who is considered to tend more towards 'perceiving', takes things with a semi-broad flat measurement. Usually emperical, materialistic, or sometimes just plain indifference. But on the other-hand are suggestive of having an ability to decide things without being swayed by 'fanatical propensity'.
CONCLUSION:
Regardless, Our Ghost agents must be imbued with our neo-humanitarian principles, and every agent must at some point display the ability to produce natural tears, in relation to family, love and life.
The risk to deploy someone drained of that property, must never be neglected.
