A new doctor is in charge of the local psychiatric hospital. Now, this institution shows excellent results, as most of the patients who where formerly said incurable are now healed, and returned to normal life outside the hospital. But are they the same ? Do they have the same brain than before ? Or is it some kind of electronical brain implanted by some creature of the Machine City ? Maybe the doctor himself is bio-mechanic and he is making other bio-mechanic men from the human wreck he has in his hospital.
Plot inspired from Cabal (by Clive Barker): A psychiatrist was curing a patient (a player's character). A crime was done. The player's character was charged with that crime, and that caused him to be secluded in a psychiatric hospital. His psychiatrist now tries to cure him inside the hospital. Together, they try to understand (using regressive hypnosis and other means) how (and why) the crime happened, that night. There is lots of unclear circumstances. The player's character gets the feeling that someone else is probably responsible for that crime, and later, he even feels that his psychiatrist is trying to convince him that he murdered the victim. What if the psychiatrist was the actual murderer? What if the psychiatrist just misguided his patient, misleading him in the opinion that he might have done the crime and letting him take the responsibilities for that crime? During a visit the players could explain what happens to his friends. The player's character friends will have to free him, now, against the law and against the psychiatric hospital security. This psychiatric hospital is probably a weird place which is not what it seems. That could be the beginning of a scenario.
It's a (very Kultish) idea from Serge Brussolo, but I don't remember the title of the novel (maybe it's "La Meute"; meaning "The Pack").
A young woman, tenant of a small apartment, didn't pay her rent for almost 6 months. The owner said her that he will not call in the police, because it's not his style. He grasped the young woman, handcuffed her, and bound her on a water canalization inside a linen closet.
He raped her, and put 10 dollars in a money box (to begin to pay back her debts).
Once per day, he fed her with his left-overs from his meals. He made her a litter with old newspapers, that he was changing regularly. He washed her from time to time with a wet sponge, and left her in the dark, tied to her canalization.
From time to time, the door of the closet was opening, and there was a man, naked, who were raping her... And, some minutes after, the door was closing again, and there was only darkness.
She feared especially a man with his doberman, which looked at the dog raping the young woman, without a move. But the dog was brutal, vicious, with its teeth on the throat of the woman all the time.
Each time, the owner took some money from the man and put it in the money box. From time to time, he counted the sum inside the money box.
One day, maybe two or three months later, after uncounted rapes, the woman felt herself drugged and felt in a narcotic slumber. She awaked herself in a waste ground, naked in the bitter cold, weak and sick from several months of forced immobility.
Her debt was over...
Player's characters are usually handsome young men and beautiful girls. What if a prince from the past (or a prince from Metropolis Baazar?) summoned them to his palace (thanks to a black magic ritual by an infernal ally of him). Guards put them in the harem of this bizzarre bisexual perverted prince with a lot of imagination. Escaping the "harem" is one thing. Trying to go back to the usual "reality" is another.
