Editing The Simurgh (section)

====Precognition/Postcognition====
The Simurgh perceives the world with her precognition/postcognition,<ref name="28.x e9" /> which she also uses to employ long-term schemes that culminate in tragic or destructive outcomes for her deeply-affected victims.<ref name="Cast2">The Simurgh is shorter than her brothers, and sports a large number of asymmetrical wings.  She possesses telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition and a perpetual psychic scream.  Seen as the most cunning and intelligent of the three, the Simurgh uses her precognition to employ long term schemes, each with Rube-Goldberg sequences of events, culminating in grave disasters and tragedies. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (in depth)]</ref> While scanning her surroundings and the targets within via her active scream, for every hundredth of a second,<ref name="II18.z eTesting" /> she gathers enough data to be perfectly aware of their immediate future (assuming they are not [[The Simurgh#Blind Spots|blind spots]]).<ref name="reddit eSummary1" /> The longer she scans targets with her psychic echolocation, the further her power reaches into their past and future<ref name="reddit eSummary1" /> (i.e., will keep going until birth/death assuming no blind spots<ref name="28.x e4" />) which she then uses to refine her pretercognition.<ref name="28.x e2" /><ref name="II20.3 eRefine" /> Indeed, the Simurgh is constantly decoding the data gathered from targets to search for valid levers of manipulation.<ref name="28.x e2" /><ref name="28.x e5" /> Thus, the longer visible targets and threats are exposed to her active scream, the better her pretercognition is at assessing them in a fight:<ref name="II20.1 eLegendSpeech" /> they become less effective against her in a fight over time.<ref name="II20.3 eRefine" />

She can focus on a single target to decode them faster. In most cases, this focus is necessary when she needs to quickly form a distraction that involves that target or attack them hard enough to create a window of opportunity. However, she cannot effectively perceive everything else while she is focusing.<ref name="28.x e2" />

The Simurgh also decodes data to find more and better prompts to cause victims past their code red threshold to snap.<ref name="II20.4 e2" /> She can then use two vectors of attack in tandem<ref name="II20.a eTrust" /> to effectively turn them into Rube Goldberg devices: 1) a long-term [[The Simurgh#Psychic Pressure and Influence|psychic influence]], and 2) predictions of their behavior and activity (in the order of months and years).<ref name="reddit eSummary1" /> These guided missiles typically produce strings of horrific future events in the vicinity of her attacks, long after she has retreated.<ref name="reddit eSummary1" /> Note that more time allows her to create more complex chains of cause and effect.<ref name="Reddit eVersusJL" />
