Mind-Controlled Human

The Mind-Controlled Human is an enemy found aboard Talos I during Prey.

Overview
Mind-Controlled Humans are Humans whose minds have been completely taken over by Telepaths (who can usually be seen near them). They wander around Talos I, speaking to themselves, trying to get the Telepath out of their head, to no avail. If they detect Morgan Yu, they will run at them and unleash a strong Kinetic Blast, knocking out Morgan's PSI abilities and killing themselves in the process.

However, they can be freed by either knocking them out with the Disruptor Stun Gun, using Mindjack or killing the Telepath that is controlling them.

 EXCERPT FROM TRANSTAR SECURITY RECORDS:

Incident report #1546-031433

Classifcation: Containment breach

Reporting officer: Cory Richard 

Incident summary: I was on duty at about 1420 hours when i recieved a request from Dr. Hans Kelstrup for assistance in Live Exam. Upon arriving on the scene, I witnessed Dr. Trevor Young slamming lab instruments into some of the Typgon enclosures. When it became clear that he intended to break containment, I was forced to dischagre my stun gun to subdue him. During my subsequent interview with Dr. Young, he seemed immensely distraught and unaware of my prescence unless I came too close, whereupon he would turn violent. He has been turned over to the Trauma team and placed in quarantine for his and other's safety.

MORGAN'S NOTES:

Connected to the Typhon Telepthats. Should avoid getting too close. Triggers a strong kinetic blast that knocks out psi abilities - ends up killing them. Stun gun might take them out long enough to sneak past. Might be able to free them from Typhon control somehow.

Strategy

 * The GLOO Cannon is extremely effective at pinning them down and letting you scan, kill or knock them out, without having to worry about them charging at you and killing you.


 * A single shot from the Disruptor Stun Gun is enough to knock them out instantly.


 * Melee isn't the best idea due to their kinetic blast, unless you used the GLOO Cannon on them.


 * Mindjack will also knock them out.


 * You can also kill the Telepath, though you should do it from a safe distance and place where they can't reach it so that they can't attack you.
