Heartbeat Calling
Bruno detects the heartbeats of everyone nearby.
Nerves and blood vessels are basically paired throughout the body, so electro is a decent stand in for blood.
You gain the following benefits as long as detecting creatures with blood.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.
- Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
- Hearing: You may hear sounds of sub- and hyper-sonic frequencies, allowing you to hear tiny things (mice, insects, etc) better, and pick up on the vibrations of massive things (earthquakes, atmospheric disruptions, etc) long before others.
- When you are within 50 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Knock on Wood
I will find you.
Kirk knocks on a nearby wall and sighs.
"Four soldiers, lined up to enter the room in 3... 2... 1-" The door bursts open.
Ever since he left Desert Storm, Kirk has felt different. Regardless of the skills he might've acquired, he knew for a fact that it wasn't normal to be able to fit a gun in a glove, especially not an assault rifle. It is only now that he is realizing that he is learning the way of the ghosts.
