Methods of Control

Chiller:

Conditioning by locking the subject in a windowless cell with a refrigerated concrete floor.

The Guardian of Souls:

A 24 foot mural in the entrance lobby of Acolytica World Headquarters. The mural depicts a snarling dog in a cage, a metaphor for the need for control. Also called Hugo's Pet.

Leary:

The use of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) has been part of Acolytican conditioning since the early 1970s, after results from the MK-ULTRA project appeared to be promising. Widespread use within the church was banned in 1976. Since the drug dissipates from the human body quickly, this technique is still used for conditioning police officers and others who may be required to submit to random drug screenings.

Nitefall:

The use of Ketamine or a similar animal tranquilizer to initially subdue a conditioning subject. Often administered via a dart projector.

Pop Goes the Weasel:

Often referred to as The Weasel, this method of control involves conditioning the subject by simulating execution, normally by firing a blank round behind a blindfolded subject's head.
