Memory Wipe

Treatment to remove memories of specific events or incidents. Originally developed as a treatment for the mentally ill, memory wipe is occasionally used in military and espionage applications, as a form of rehabilitation for criminals, and by large corporations in protection of trade secrets. A memory wipe session typically lasts about one day, but can be compressed to less than four hours by using slow drug. The session requires a powerful computer, a selection of specific hypnotic drugs, and a skilled operator. Complications are rare in memory wipe; occasionally, the wipe is not effective and memories return, but such a result is the mark of an unskilled operator; a true memory wipe completely removes memories of the events (rather than covers them up).
