You might, when the PCs get their memory back, talk to each player out
of game and offer them one or two schools or archetypes that fit their
behaviour so far, and let them pick one or just buy some mundane skills
instead (skills appropriate to their memories, of course).  So
basically, you say "You all worked for the sleepers" and then have
another go at character creation, each player deciding what they did in
the group and what they were like before.  This will help negate
anybody thinking that they have no control.  You might even let players
change obsessions and/or passions (since adepts would need to change
their obsession anyway).

Though if you do this, you'll lose the cool foreshadowing that Greg
suggested.
