Wow. This is the most speculation I've ever seen on a fic of mine (and there are footnotes. That made me smile). And considering the end of this isn't going to answer any of your questions, I figured I might as well try to clarify since believe it or not, I did sit down and hammer out the details before when I was somewhere around chapter 6. So, here's how I saw Psy-Ops working:
The people we saw in the show like Brain and Mia (and for that matter, Stat in my fic) existed far before psychics like Dee. Manticore, being experts in interrogation techniques had managed to make coersion specialists like Mia and Brain, from what he said on the show, was basically a human calculator: a numbers cruncher. Neither of them could be considered outright psychics.
Cy, because of some genetic fluke, gets these flashes of the future: things that DEFINITELY will happen unless someone does something specific to stop them (unlike Brain who computed probably outcomes). Manticore finds out and spend at least a year working on Cy to isolated the part of his genetics that make those flashes happen. Over time, the perfected the technique to get psychics like him and a few years down the line, you get kids like Dee.
Dee, asides for being a full-fledged psychic, was made for the purpose of performing extractions. Essentially, when Manticore decides to remove an operative from the field, she erases any memory that they were even there. (In chapter 8 Cy did the huge explanation of the how).
What Dee did was erase all memories of Logan after the shooting. However, she couldn't create new memories to replace them so everyone associated with Logan wound up with huge gaping holes in their memory. It's a bit of a reach, I know, but keep in mind this originally going to be a Supernatural fic and things on that end of the track don't tend to need this much explanation. =)
...Honestly, I like Cy. He's one of my all time favorites of my OCs. And he's got quite a lot to say (I admit, he sort of highjacked this chapter.) He's very much about the end justifying the means and from his point of view, it's Max away from White or let White's evil plan come to pass. Logan doesn't even factor into his decision making.
Glad you're still enjoying this. I hope I answered all your questions.
