[An unexplained psychic network that includes a whole lot of mortal beings he doesn't know was, frankly, far too much power to give Michael at this juncture. At first, he was just as alarmed as anybody; for all his millenia of existence, no one has ever been able to connect mentally with him this way! So he kept quiet early on, listening and observing.
After a few days, he hasn't learned much. He still doesn't know who any of the people involved are, or even how many there might be. But at the very least, they don't seem aware of his presence. Otherwise they'd have driven him out by now, or at least warned each other not to talk to him. So...why not try to make a little use of the thing?
Which is to say that at random points throughout the next several days, there come faint whispers in the back of everyone's minds:]
Behind you.
Look out!
I see you.
[Michael's still learning to use this, of course. It's probably not perfect; he's the pioneer of mind-net trolls! But boy, isn't this neat?]
