Brain or Mind Damage

Intro

List

• Several (~9?) astronauts in the time leading up to Breakaway. Most or all are fatalities (could be kept alive, but only by machines, otherwise completely dead, and are eventually unhooked).
• Regina Kesslann^. Fatality (in two realities).
• Ted Clifford: attacked by the Tritonian probe, some parts of his brain are expanded, others destroyed. Fatality.
• Ray Torens: most of mind is drained by Psyche, Mentor's biological computer, under the latter's instruction/control. What remains of Ray is forced to work in the mines. This does not kill him directly, but he dies when the mine ceiling collapses during the final destruction of Psychon.
• Carolyn Powell: in losing a face-off of wills against John Koenig while she is displaying strong telepathic/telekinetic abilities, under the influence of the Lambda Variant, she loses, her rage is turned back on herself (?), and her mind is wiped to the point she is like a child, and will have to learn everything again. This is apparently mental damage more than brain damage?
• Tony Verdeschi: mind damage, driven mad by the "Immunity Syndrome" Being, later healed by the same being.
