Both of the shadow squad soldiers would note the effect of the ability, immediately; a strong, mental command, that would likely overpower nearly any flesh-and-blood creatures defenses; 'Forget your current master. Come, and serve me.' It's not clear if the man is conscious of his invoking of the ability, but given that a strange, runic symbol appeared in his eye, as it was brought forth, affecting both of them at the same time, it's unlikely he could be unaware. He hides the fact that he's distraught, when the two seem to be immune to his effect, as he makes his way over to Draiss, smiling pleasantly. "Well, unusual to see so many new faces in our little town. My name's Russell... what brings someone like you around here?"<br/><br/>Reaching out to touch his companions, Draiss would notice that, likely due to the psionic effect, they have no memory of him, currently. The memories are still there, but any thoughts of him, or, in fact, their past lives, is currently repressed, and a new set of memories is being formed over them.
