An alternative to dealing with head revs

That does not involve brutal murder or gulag (escapable)
But involves making them apart of the crew again, but it's no easy task.
I have a couple ideas.
1) Giving the headrev a swirlie for a minute straight will make their mind weak enough to accept a mindshield. A message will be displayed saying that the headrev looks spent. Something like "[NAME] looks regretful!" They will still be a headrev, but now you can mindshield them for the coup de grace. Assuming that it takes 3 seconds to give someone a swirlie, you'll need to swirlie the headrev 20 times to make their mind be more malleable.
2) Keep sacrificing your mindshields to a headrev and eventually the headrev will break. They're made of tougher stuff so 4-5 mindshields is enough to finally mindshield a headrev.
Add either one, or both altogether.

maybe add a certain sequence of events that can be vaguely constituted as torture that you have to conduct on the headrev to make them susceptable to a mindshield
make it randomized every round, but add a "NT Interrogation 101" book to the HOS's office depicting every action that is considered torture code wise.
maybe for bonus effect make the headrev have to complete some on screen mini game in a certain amount of time to resist the affects of the torture.

Dude, it has to be simple. The coders have better things to do, which is why the suggestion is small and practical for their convenience.

if it's more complex than just killing them then security will just kill them 100% of the time

Dunno about that, security usually tries to deconvert cultists even when I'm in full genocide mode.

i could see it being useful if it prevented the headrev from ever coming back. if you just kill the headrev they can be cloned, or if you gib them they could have been clone scanned in advance, etc

this is why the advanced security player destroys the cloner and all medical/science personnel when theres a revolution
exactly this scenario!
