Containment
"The thing that bothers me though," said Theresa thoughtfully, tapping a tooth with a fingernail, "is why they always pick Scrabble tournaments. You'd think there'd be easier places to break through into the world."
A dazed containment specialist lifted his head; he'd been thrown nearby and was pretending to be dead for a minute while he got his breath back. "Because this is like a big container of concentration of mental energy," he said quietly, and then let his head fall again and concentrated on his breathing.

Greg - hah, I quite like this specialist's survival instincts. I would not be upset if we heard more if his wisdom in the weeks ahead :)
