'In an unprecedented and entirely unique turn of events, Earthgov was forced to turn to its adversaries in order to deal with a threat 'beyond the pale,' as one PsiCorps operative put it. Looking as if he'd been on a three-day bar binge, the operative (who has for good reason requested to remain anonymous) explained to this journalist that the entity which attacked Manhattan last week was 'Uniquely anathema to not only psionic agents, but to all human consciousness.' The IPO, known dabblers in the paranormal and unnatural, were uniquely suited to deal with this threat to not only Earth, but their own territory on Titan.

Anonymous sources have noted the rapidity with which the operatives both arrived and left in conjunction with the appearance and departure of the entity, believing this to be indicative of collusion - possibly even deliberate cooperation - with the entity.'
