I used the time of wrongful financial imprisonment to study Reaver tech or the comments on the subject, note the bias and concepts in description of actions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaver_%28Firefly%29It is same as zombie or seeing people as monsters. most don't know that some of that is only when they are around them, and about how they see it.
I have no problems with Reavers.

So where most find introspection and calm with prayers or meditation, some things use that to take over a person with only that spiritual 1st defense type of thought if they are deceived. 2nd and 3rd defense prevent that.
