Steinmetz Engine

The Steinmetz Engine is one of the most vile and brutal creations of the 21st Century. It essentially erases memories from a broken or willing subject, and the Atlas Coalition utilizes it to twist their monstrous creations to their will. It was designed by Doctor Fyodor Steinmetz, who is a major ally of Doctor Konrad Valcz. Whilst Valcz did have a hand in some of the design, it was Steinmetz who perfected the device. It was later tested on multiple prisoners of war and enemies of the state, in which it had a 95% success rate in converting them to Atlasian Patriots. Valcz declared Steinmetz's invention the greatest innovation of the century and the two of them would later team up for work on the Helios Project.

Specifics
The Steinmetz Engine is a massive device that requires large amounts of power to operate. It cannot be moved, and as such must be constructed in place. Subjects must either be willing to forget or be tortured to the point of apathy in which they also become willing subjects. The 5% failure rate applies to the willpower of the subject, as some people are simply unbreakable.
