The report's author cites, as an example, "case UT-117-UK; Marjorie McCannagh. At 60 IQ, Marjorie was only marginally aware of her surroundings, so her power to sever organic molecular bonds and turn living things into puddles of carbon sludge posed more threat than advantage." (Admittedly, most eruptions improve the subject's body and mind both, cf. Hugo Pinella.) Earlier, the author drew parallels with star athletes, prior to N-Day and the decline of baseline sports, who "made a good deal of money, often with little more than cursory education [...] and insufficient socialization[, which] made for [...] 'hillbillies with money'".
The author recommends that "sociopathic, asocial and criminally inclined subjects" face cautery of the Mazarin-Rashoud node "as early in its eruption as possible", before its effects on the body's self-repair system render it potentially capable of regenerating from such damage.

[Aberrant] A progress report on nova development written at an unidentified Rashoud facility reflects on the problem of novas who lack the intelligence or social awareness to understand what constitutes an appropriate use of their powers. "To that end, this researcher must recommend continued pursuit of the proposed 'M-R lobotomy' treatment."

Re: I'm Suicida, point man for Gangreen.

He gets quoted (as "Suicida Gangreen") in the second edition of Werewolf: The Apocalypse (quote courtesy of a webpage that appears to be in Japan):
It's part of an internal monologue about how they made him a weapon, but didn't make any real effort to readjust him to civilian life. So he reacts to things the way they taught him to: "I JUST WANT TO SMACK THE WHOLE FRAGGGIN' WORLD IN THE MOUTH!" (The phrasing "smack my in the mouth" is the webpage's problem, not the book's.)
