Smithers Method

The Smithers Method of deconditioning invented by Eliza Kline-Smithers, was first put into testing in 1987. It consists of a brain operation on the frontal lobe, completed while the victim is awake, without the use of numbing agents, and the victim is bound in a leather encasing preventing their movement. Their screams are recorded and played during some Serum injections with other IXM Syndicate deconditioning victims.

The First Experimentation
The first experimentation using the Smithers Method began on November 08, 1987, on a male test subject by the name of Laurence John Kessinger. He was given a patient ID of 08776-M, and was in IXM Syndicate deconditioning for writing papers on monopolist's negligence in Eurson County's cotton plants. The experimentation began at 8:25:19 P.M. under the support of Board Member Morgan Grubbs and Board President A. Madison. An ex-member of the IXM Syndicate experimentation staff, Sumayya Patel, documented his screams as, "one of the most disturbing and upsetting sounds a human person could create." Kessinger passed away at 9:34:02 P.M. that evening as a result of major blood loss and faulty tissue injuries.
