To me this feels more like a Quirk than a Perk. Unless such abductions were really common you would have been brought to a military base, probed by your government until they are bored with you, and you are likely on a watch list after that with them checking up on you infrequently in case you disappear again. If you do anything "Adventury" they might pay a house call... It is possible they might arrange a job for you to keep probing your "knowledge" and put it to use for a non-secret government project. At that having your mind invaded wouild also likely preclude you getting most government clearances... Another Quirk? : )

Quirk: Mind-probed
You received a mind probe/mind control incident in the past by a hostile power so Big Brother does not trust you anymore. You cannot achieve any more than the lowest security clearnances (which may also limit Rank).
