It is a standard corruption scene, so Mind Control was likely a coincidence. It is definitely in the base game, probably the result of a misnamed file. The expected filename is
peep1_work1.png and the actual name seems to be
peep_work1.png.
Your savefile bounces me back to the menu. Are you using additional mods?
At any rate, this seems to be a coding oversight in the base game. If you check the screenshot, you will see that the term
person_coercedbj is highlighted. This is the function that updates stats and other bookkeeping. Once it finishes, it returns back here and continues on with the rest of the code. In the screenshot, if it were to hit and execute the first highlight, it would then run the next line, then jump down to the second highlight (the else clause is conditional and would not be executed at this time). The "correct" version of this code would either be to remove the first highlight and let the second one handle everything, or put a
return statement after the first highlight like the second one has so that the function knows it is done.
This is not the only instance of this error in this particular chunk of code. Other places you have seen this might be doing the same thing.
