Amnestic Agents, also known as simply Amnestics, are a group of related memory-affecting agents utilised by the SDS Foundation in order to expunge sensitive data from the minds of unauthorised individuals.Many of the commonly used amnestics are themselves anomalous, either in origin or mechanism. The fact that amnestics are frequently anomalies themselves effectively renders them Thelian class SDS Objects, recklessly handed out to any MAS, FSS, or Researcher who wants them. The collection of these amnestics is often dangerous or ethically problematic.

Fortunately, neuroscience has advanced significantly since the SDS Foundation was founded, allowing mass production of non-anomalous amnestic agents. In addition to being wholly non-anomalous, synthetic amnestic agents are typically much more cost-effective for the SDS Foundation and boast a better safety profile. These Agents function primarily by inducing memory deconsolidation, breaking down the neural pathways responsible for episodic memories. The Agents themselves are encased within specially designed nanoparticles, allowing for the targeting of specific areas of the brain.

Class A - General Retrograde

For erasing recent and/or specific episodic memories

Class B - Regressive Retrograde

For the incremental erasure of recent memories

Class C - Targeted Retrograde

For the removal of specific memories from any point in the subject's life

Class D - Progressive Retrograde

For the removal of early memories

Class E - Disassociative Retrograde

To induce psychological complacency with the anomalous

Class F - Full Amnesiac Retrograde

For erasing and rebuilding the subject's identity

Class G - Derealizative Retrograde

To cause subjects to doubt the authenticity of their memories

Class H - Anterograde

To prevent the formation of new memories

Class I - Temporary Amnesiac Retrograde

For inducing a temporary amnesic state

Class J - Agnostics

To induce semantic dissociation, allowing the individual to investigate things that don't make sense easier.

Class K - Gnostics

To induce certainty, without necessarily being correct.

Class W-Z - Mnestics

Protection against anti-memetic and other mnemonic anomalies
