The story
Cameron Vale, a vagrant who apparently suffers from auditory hallucination in the form of hearing voices in his head, causes a rude woman in a mall food court to have a seizure by what appears to be purely psychic means.
ConSec holds a marketing demonstration of its scanning program in which a ConSec operative with scanning ability will read the thoughts of a normal (non-scanning) audience member.
Following the disastrous event, ConSec head of security Braedon Keller tells Ruth that the company's scanner program should be shut down.
