I've posted about incorporating various types of restraint systems into a potential brainwashing machine, such as:

But it's also come to my mind that something like this could also be good?

Does that seem reasonable?

Henry slowly approaches Charles, telling his currently brainwashed friend that he does indeed know him, talking about Charles' helicopter and the General and the crazy stunts the two of them pulled.

Charles took a minute to think, before actually remembering everything, shaking off his hat and telling Henry that Ellie was nearby.

The two were quickly formulating a plan as they ran, knowing Ellie wouldn't be so easy to just talk to.

They didn't expect the Toppats to give Ellie her own custom sign to hit people with, but after a good hit to the face, Henry was able to adjust to the new weaponry.

Henry and Charles kept playing hard to get, frustrating Ellie to no end. The longer they went at it, the more the memories started flowing back for Ellie, of watching Henry and Charles come up with some crazy scheme or running from Rupert after doing something.

And soon, Ellie shook off the brainwashing, pulling Henry and Charles into a hug as the three friends were reunited.

Though the big problem came with unbrainwashing everyone else, something that Henry, Charles and Ellie knew they couldn't just do one by one.

Ellie then figured out that if the brainwashing machine is broken, the damage it had done would be undone. It was just a matter of being able to get close enough to accomplish the task. Henry then had a dangerous idea.

Charles and Ellie dragged a beaten Henry to Right, who had the biggest grin on his face as he told Charles and Ellie to leave Henry to him.

The two left far enough to be away from Right, but close enough to act as backup if need be.

Right put Henry into the machine, telling Henry that soon he would be much happier, before starting the machine up.

Henry had to hold on mentally before the EMP would fire, finding it harder and harder to resist the urge to give in, to have a possibility to be with Right, who he was sure in another time or place that they would of been close.

Before Henry faltered completely, the EMP went off, destroying the machine and undoing the brainwashing on the rest of the Government soldiers.

Right was flung a ways back as Charles grabbed Henry, who minus some bruises, was ok.

Triple Threat and the rest of the Government found their way back to base, with Galeforce being almost like a worried dad to each and every soldier.

When you have built your brainwashing machine, should the part that goes onto the head be more cheesy sci-fi, tubes and electrodes hanging off, glowing lights, with a giant, possibly glowing cable situation? Or should it be some kind of proper helmet or hat that could be mistaken for a normal everyday bit of gear?

Keep in mind that no matter what, it would obviously have to integrate some kind of goggles/glasses and something to make sound in the ears.

In service to that, we would like to announce that we've finished our first round of funding, and have begun work on what we are calling:

Because I do evil things like hypnotizing and brainwashing young ladies for my amusement, to make them my helpless toys, mindless and pumped full of sensation and pleasure until they can no longer think for themselves and they have no ability to know the difference between my words and their own thoughts.

I'm also building a brainwashing machine to make it even easier for me to do that.
