     The government's research into psychic ability has not been a widely circulated discussion. Rumors occasionally pop up that someone was recruited by them and given a great job, with a fat paycheck and an awesome career but they travel so much that people lose contact with them eventually. But now there's a name to go with these interesting job recruiters, NIPR (NIPPER), the National Institute for Paranormal Research.
     Oh, by all means go google them if you want and see how fast you start getting random reports that your email addresses are trying to be hacked. Your phone starts blowing up with warnings that someone has tried to log into your work and private emails but because their attempts have been thwarted but you should go and reset your security immediately. N.I.P.R. doesn't appear on any government website, no paper trails seem to lead to or from them but their research programs have popped up on small college campuses for the past five years.They'll pay good money to give you a battery of tests to see if you possess a "Unique Psychometric Profile".
     Most do it for drinking money; a hundred dollars for an hour of your time and a few questions? It's a no-brainer. But sometimes, just sometimes, the results of their sweeps get someone's attention. Now they want to schedule a followup interview to re-administer the test to make sure that your responses weren't just randomly successful. It's another hundred dollars for another hour of your time. And if you're lucky enough to score higher than average, they might even want to do further testing or possibly offer you a job. One rumor is that since they work with the government they can forgive ALL of your student loans - if you go to work for them.
     What could possibly go wrong?
