FIELD RESEARCH ON HISS ENTITY: HISS CORRUPTED RANGER (AIRBORNE)

--CONFIDENTIAL--

SUMMARY:

This subgroup of Hiss-corrupted Rangers has manifested the ability to levitate, similarly to Hiss Elevated Agents. However, these airborne Hiss Rangers display no telekinetic abilities and simply continue to use mundane Bureau weaponry.

This evolution, being so similar to the Elevated, possibly indicates that Hiss can "share" permutations through a type of network or perhaps osmosis. However, the fact that this development in Hiss Rangers has only been observed in the Investigations Sector may indicate that an environment factor is responsible. They could be responding to an Altered Item or other paranatural element found only in that sector. Or perhaps this is the natural progression of the Hiss Ranger phenotype. Not enough time has passed to determine a conclusive trajectory of development of each of the Hiss manifestations, assuming any such trajectory exists.
