Level 2 Node
The Fortune Teller's Academy
A brazen and disreputable school that serves as a recruiting ground. While the true goal is to identify psionic talents, the steady stream of recruited scammers and chances to make psionics in general look fraudulent are welcomed. The Academy can send a load of nonsense your way, hit you with talented scammers, and vet potential recruits and experiment victims. The local head of law enforcement has been convinced that all the stories coming from there are hyped up nonsense, quackery, and insanity not worth his time. Even the disappearances. The Head of the academy is a shard.
Connections: A lot of the low-level psionics in the conspiracy (level 1's and 2's) were recruited through the academy. The academy mostly just needs connections to the higher ups in the conspiracy, though the headmaster knows he's exposed and tries to maintain his distance from the main group. Nodes with wide reach are best for this, like blackhawk trucking.
