Cerebrum Inc.

"A better past means a brighter future." -Cerebrum slogan
Cerebrum Inc. is a multinational corporation specializing in memory alteration and recovery. It was the only company in the field who worked for the American government, causing it to become exceptionally powerful. It absorbed the other companies, and eventually grew to become a superpower in the Age of Avarice.
==History==
Memory-accessing technology was first invented by the Chinese in the late 21st century. However, once it has entered usage, the machines were discovered to be extremely flawed, and it was quite useless for finding the truth. The government nevertheless kept the technology a secret until it was stolen by CIA agent Gary Sigmund.
The US government also declared it useless, yet still did not reveal it to the public in case someone found a way to put it to use. However, Gary Sigmund was expelled from the CIA as a result of a political scandal, and he publicized all information in his hands as revenge.
Once the information was out, numerous interested parties conducted further research until eventually they were able to access and alter memories. Various memory alteration companies began appearing. Among them was Cerebrum Inc., the first and only one of them to work alongside the government.
With political support and funding, Cerebrum grew larger and larger, and absorbed its competition. It grew so powerful that it became one of the major corporations fighting for power in the Age of Avarice after the collapse of the United States of America. During this time, their memory altering technology became a great boon, allowing them to alter the memories of people and create extremely loyal fighters as opposed to the money-hungry bounty hunters that the other companies used.
Cerebrum Inc. met its hand at the hands of ChangCorp. Unable to defeat their rival with brute force, ChangCorp came up with the idea of sabotaging Cerebrum's memory altering devices. They tried several viruses, but they all failed. As a last resort, they awoke the AI construct Sentient, a remnant of Project Akin, and using specialized agents, inserted him into Cerebrum's mainframe.
Ever since, their memory alterations have gone wrong inexplicably, creating psychopaths instead of loyal warriors. They rebelled against the company, destroying it and escaping into space with their AI master. They were said to be some of the first followers of Sentient.
