[UA] More Campaign Help

My first reaction was "what a dingus!"  This is, of course, unfair.  I know
nothing about this person, and I'm sure she or he has many redeeming
qualities, is a friendly, intelligent and enthusiastic person.  So I'll
restyle my comment as "in this particular instance, he's sure acting like a
dingus."

Besides, I can't stay mad at powergamers for long.  Anyone who cares enough
about gaming to cheat at it is clearly invested.  You just need to teach
the powergamer some manners and refocus his/her energy more positively.

Something else.

The Compte, if youw ant to be canonical.  The CIA, using the entirely
mundane fruits of MK-ULTRA and its descendents.  Or the GLS, using the same
kind of drug and brainwashing stuff.

"Oh yeah, well, a lot of those techniques were in the prototype stage when
you graduated from The Mind Factory.  The stuff they're trying at Gitmo,
boy -- thousands of times more ambitious.  'Course they're fucking it up.
You were the one we couldn't redesign into a musician, you knokw.  Everyone
else rechanneled just fine.

"What do you mean, 'rechanneled what?'  Your urge to molest little boys, of
course.  All you Yellow Sign test subjects were diddlers.  I'm only telling
you now because you'll forget this chamber once I say your release word and
take you back to the Factory.  Third time's the charm.  Now let's see, what
was the trigger word we used on the 1997 model...?"
