Singul0 849aff7d5e Makes brainwashing immune to mindshield implant, you can only take it off through surgery now. (#81419)
## About The Pull Request
What it says on the tin, Removes the mindshield effect implant on
removing brainwashing, Don't worry though, you can still remove it
through surgery (interdepartmental interaction!). Allows for more
engaging and in-depth gameplay that focuses on making security less
infallible.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This PR makes security more infallible which is a good thing, by making
them more prone to infiltration and backstabbing. it enhances the
paranoia aspect present in the game. no longer can you trust someone
just because they are a member of security (not that they trust them
completely 100% in the first place, changelings exists). allowing for
more deep user-generated stories full with intrigue and depth. the stuff
I feel is the core gameplay loop of SS13. By making sure you can 100%
trust someone with a mindshield and redshirt you take away that feeling
of dread, whether or not this person can be trusted.

Can you trust your sec buddy that was gone for a concerningly long
amount of time arresting and killing a head with just a notion "oh that
guy is a cling"?. what if he was brainwashed within that space of time
and ordered to frame that head? That is what I absolutely love to
happen.

Also to keep it in line with the hypnoflash, where you CAN do this. and
the process is way easier (at a cost of high TC and unreliability).
Brainwashing takes a lot more time to do. it should at least be on par
with hypnotizing.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Brainwashed individuals can no longer be debrainwashed through
a mindshield implant, they still protect you from brainwashing though!
You just need to get medical to fix them up.
