Villainy and Blackguards Incorporated #25: The Telemen

Villains and Blackguards Incorporated (VABI) is an organization found on Earth 32aa which has dedicated itself to protecting the interest of those of differently enabled morality and enhanced humanity. They take care of legal expenses and investments. It has become a very successful organization and is considering spreading to other Earths. In case they do here are some of it's members.

VABI has already talked about the Key Men.  They are the past.  A very valuable part of the past, but the past all the same.  The future is in the Telemen.  The Telemen is the single most successful program in VABI's long history.  We have 3% of our agents now as Telemen and we aim for 10% by 2025.  Given that each Teleman is an initial investment of 23 million dollars, that should be ample proof of how much we value their contributions.

The Telemen are the creation of Doctors Ruthless, Heartless, and Careless.  They believe that the current laws against "grey" and "superpowered" technology are silly and all technology must be freed no matter what the cost.  This of course put them against the Authorities and eventually drove them to join VABI.  Their creative minds together are responsible for the best agents money can buy.

Take a welll trained agent and give him a highly expensive and perhaps a little risky brain surgery.  When done the agent willl now have organic shunts around the nerves around his brain.  These shunts intercept singles to and from the brain.  Then have the shunts connect to an organic computer that acts as quantum communicator with an entanglement encryption system.  Now you have all that input from nerves going over to an operator at a central base.  The operator can see and hear everything the agent sees and hear.  He can also pass along any information of sound or pictures to the agent.  The operators can even connect agents together forming something even better than telepathy.

The end result is you have an agent that can have any information you can find downloaded directly to his mind.  He can keep in silent contact with fellow agents.  He also is not prone to betrayal because they know they are under constant watch.  As an added bonus any teleman caught and put in jail can have easy vacations.  Merely switch the feeds between agents and the agent in jail is suddenly controlling and experiencing the body of the agent not in jail and vice versa.  Jail is much easier in small shifts.

Authorites are becoming aware of the Telemen but are ineffective in controlling them.  Judges and most laws of most countries don't allow for the kind of tests that would detect a Teleman, nor the dangerous surgery to remove the devices that make a Teleman.  Attempts to block the entanglement encryption system have met with failure thus far.
