The Foretold killed his victims by moving them out of phase, synchronising them with his own phase level. This process took exactly 66 seconds, during which time the victim — and ''only'' the victim — could see and interact with him. Once synchronised, the Foretold placed his hands on the victim's temples and drained their energy, causing them to drop dead of an apparent [[heart attack]]. Driven by some remaining scrap of the soldier's mind, the Foretold selected his victims based on physical and mental illness, preying on the weakest first so that the strong could survive.

The Foretold was of interest to parties who wished to capture it and reverse-engineer its capabilities. On their behalf, the [[computer]] [[Gus (Mummy on the Orient Express)|Gus]] exposed numerous ships to the Foretold and forced their crews to study it. These ships included the ''[[Gloriana]]'' and the ''[[Valiant Heart]]''.
