Do you hear a buzzing sound?

While NileCorp was working on its X9 prototype, which would have one day been used to assassinate key corporate officials of NileCorp’s rivals, one such rival, Edi-Tech, was working on something else: Project Water Witch. The product of this program, the WTRW-11 unit, was a small, automated spy drone. It had the appearance of a dragonfly, for disguise, and had the capacity to transmit crystal-clear audio and HD video footage to its users from anywhere in the world. However, espionage was not the WT’s only function. The genius engineers and researchers working at Edi-Tech were able to incorporate a cutting-edge piece of technology into the WT units after which they were eventually named. Built into each drone was a tiny but incredibly powerful speaker capable of generating frequencies of sound that were not audible to human ears but were still processed by their brains. With these frequencies, the WT could be used to cause auditory and visual hallucinations to anyone within its range. After the drones were deployed, researchers in Edi-Tech’s rival corporations were eventually able to discover the auditory nature of these hallucinations’ source, but they could not pinpoint exactly where the frequencies were coming from. To the impoverished, bedridden masses, the WTs were terribly effective, allowing Edi-Tech to scare, divide, and otherwise manipulate the global population to whatever ends they pleased. After some cruel pranking by Edi-Tech operators, one particularly poor community in Central America even developed a religious cult around the WTs, worshipping them out of fear and awe. Since they were unable to make the connection between the terrifying visions they experienced and the small, unassuming dragonflies which seemed to hover perpetually around their small town, they understood the entities afflicting them only as demonic creatures demanding their total reverence.
