Seraphim's Storyline - How to Remake a Personality

Operative Seraphim Reporting

I have been on intelligence missions lately and unable to report my findings, but Jedi Master Rush Kator (@RushKator) and I have been busy uncovering the Imperial's (and which I suspect are working under the direction of the Sith) latest venture - brainwashing their citizens.  We infiltrated a small facility where the brainwashing was occurring.  Master Kator is better than I at refraining from getting emotional, but, I could sense the pain and trauma in the air.  We were unable to locate the citizens, but we gathered intelligence and left the facility unhurt.

What the data revealed was incredibly startling. Common street thugs and folk were taken away in the quiet of the night, their families and loved ones (if they had any) were never told what happened to them.  The patients were then taken to covert remote locations where they were brainwashed.  The Imperials intended to "remake the personality" of these "rebellious" individuals by instilling the following methodology:

• Complete sensory deprivation: If the person is kept completely isolated, even from sunlight, they will be unable to maintain connection to the world.
• No sentient being contact: They cannot speak, touch, or hear other victims.
• Spice: Under the influence of spice (drugs), they were placed into a practically comatose state.
• Subliminal messages: Subliminal messages were replayed to them while under the influence of the spice.

All of this was done with one goal in mind, to bring the personality to an infant-like state so it can be easily moulded and influenced into the desired outcome.  The scientists/psychologists behind the efforts refused to acknowledge the soul level of the individuals and how psychologically damaging this process was, but they continued forward saying it would make for better citizens of the Empire. What they call "citizenship", I call creating a form of mindless zombie.

The notes mention a few escapees. Some even say a few high-operating individuals were taken for military efforts.  I do not know what that means, but I am sure it is nothing good for any of us.

Master Kator and I are investigating another operation occurring in the Outer Rim.  We hope to find out more about these covert operations soon and report back to the Rebellion as soon as possible.  I know it was not our designated mission, but if they can do this to their own citizens, could they not do it to a captured Rebel? And what if they unleashed this captured Rebel back into the Rebellion with its memory wiped? This is a future I hope to avoid.
