A belated first mention.
This is the chronologically earliest mentioned action by the nova-led eco-terrorist collective known as Greenwar. The psychic attack on Durant was the work of Greenwar co-founder Ryan "Animus" Abbnet, who can communicate telepathically with animals, and can project memories he's read from them into human minds. (The other co-founder, Shawna "Fauna" McShane, can turn in whole or part into any animal from mouse-sized to elephant-sized, and can also communicate with animals and even control them. Both erupted in 2003 — McShane when attacked by the NYPD at an animal-rights demonstration, Abbnet during a raid on an animal-testing lab.)
December 4
[Aberrant] Dr. Susan Durant, chief of research for NewGen Inc., is found catatonic in her Baltimore home, which shows signs of forcible entry. On regaining consciousness, she shows a mortal terror of medical personnel and instruments, medications, and people in general. Interviews establish that she has been made to experience the life of a rabbit in one of NewGen's labs.
