Develop a way to interfere with esoteric control, ideally over a broad area - using quantum esoterics theories as well as genetic sequences of individuals with esoteric resistance. (This is a dual-purpose action.  In the short-term, it is meant to aid
in the assault of New Orleans, against the undead minions - and
possibly against CANCaL as well - but in the longer-term, I would

expect this technology to be subsequently available for in-game use.
