Lore
Being Taken isn't mind control.

You're not just pulled from this reality, given some mental programming, and then put back with some new armor and abilities. Being Taken is more like being, well, stolen.

Who you are, what you are, what you can do, it's all ripped from you. There are no more secrets you hide, no more memories you hold dear. All you are is Oryx. All you serve is Oryx. There is no mind control, because there is no more mind. There is only what they put into you.

You are a shell. A husk. A forgotten being, living only to serve, because that is all you want to do regardless. No desire, no will.

I was saved from the brink of that. I still feel the call, the whispers in the back of my mind that tell me what I should be doing, asking me why I'm not doing it, why my will is my own.

They will never stop. Not until every last Taken has been wiped from this multiverse, not until the Hive Gods are torn asunder, not until the inevitable end of our fight is reached.

But in the mean time, did you know it's surprisingly easy to reprogram a mindless puppet?
