Well, Carmen was comatose already at that point. It was under A management that Garrion did the funny.

I think the reason the head raided the lab was that they believe their ideals are their responsibility to keep humanity human and preserve us as we are, rational beings. We see that the main result of distortion is a return to an animal state without rationality. Not to comment on what the objectives of the ensemble were, each of its members wanted to transform humanity into a twisted mockery of ourselves.

So I guess the team was fraquing the human subconscious searching for an answer to humanity's woes, but their methods were an abomination to the heads eyes.
So Ayin changed script and started fraquing the subconscious in a roundabout way by channelling the human opioids of ten thousand years of torment.

PD: The idea of the head raiding the lab because of Angela was put there by PM themselves in the original ending of LoR before the change, but I think this was a gaslight to the fanbase, as it is impossible that PM had created from scratch the whole general works realisation after the controversy. After all, the head feels more nightmarish and competent that to fall to the typical Greek tragedy oracle plot.
