Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Three:Systems and Foundations (section)

===Focus:===
The Directors are masters of mad psychology. They specialize in mind control machines, splinter 
personalities, implanted behaviors, and drone servitors that do their bidding. Some are diabolical masterminds, pulling strings from the shadows, while others are out there mixing it up on the lab floor, beacons of Inspiration.

Psychology is an interesting and subtle science with many branches, some barely explored. Some Directors focus on traditional psychology, including hypnosis and psychological manipulation; these may only break out the wonders for real emergencies, instead relying on good Social Skills and an ability to read a situation. Wonders are obvious, but few people distrust a winning smile. Others focus on mind control machines, pheromone manipulation and biological impulses, or the implanting of hidden personalities. Many younger Directors (and not a few older ones, as the Fellowship for Manifest Direction does not reward the crotchety 
and out-of-touch) have begun studying the psychology of the artificial, creating machine intelligences.

Those Overlords who do not study psychology often study related fields, such as economics, sociology, ecology, and even agriculture. But the Directors are ultimately a pragmatic group, and will recruit intelligent, capable people from nearly any field―especially if that field looks like it won't disrupt the existing power structure.
