Fake Death
The next time the six people woke up, they could tell that something had changed.
The previous loyalty that they felt for the company had disappeared, replaced with pure loyalty towards the man in front of them.
They were dazed at the sudden change in them, but also accepting of this.
Their new master must have done something to them, but not only did they not feel any resentment towards him for doing it, they were perfectly happy being under his command.
It was both strange and disconcerting, but the strangest thing was that they all got used to it quickly.
Their minds were perfectly fine with this change. If thought about logically, one would realize that it was definitely better to be under the sole command of one man rather than at the mercy of the company which would ruthlessly exploit them due to how they weren't able to refuse orders.
