After purchasing the Louisiana Purchase and the Montpellier Cache, the US government searched for intelligent men to study the artifacts purchased from France, including how to wake the idle Napoleon Jr.  Prof. Thomas Brown from Harvard College was selected.  He went to DC and was given a lab and government funding, Thomas, after three months of study, needed co-scientists, so the government searched for the smartest scientists.  They found Dr. Kelvin Cook of North Carolina.  During a lightning storm, Cook channeled a bolt into Napoleon; awakening the comatose automation.  Thomas opened the two-person group to the other scientists, calling it the Congregation of Paranormal Science.  Slowly, the group grew to nearly a hundred scientists.  In 1874, Lance DeMoi joined the Congregation as a protector for the scientists during expeditions.  While on a dig in Palenque on 1877, Lance stumbled upon an Aryan Crystal, after touching it, the crystal exploded pumping energy into Lance, and it exploded and shot a shard into his right eye.  Lance became the first member of the Special attributes corps, or SACorps.  The Congregation, in 1885, found Chester at the bottom of Chesapeake Bay, the Dweller was the second member.  In the same year, Alexander Sherman, a human with energy storage powers, joined, thus the first generation of the SACorps was made.  The generations passed on, though Lance and Chester remained, until 2010, the current members being: Sirius Potter as commander, Lance, Chester, Otto van Hamburg, Alison King, Sal, Richard Reynolds Jr, and the newest addition, telepath Bianca Thorne, granddaughter of the great psychic Sydney Thorne.
