Guest has been captured and brought to the lab - where the hell am I?!

Description

One day, Guest is secretly captured and brought to a clandestine research facility that conducts illegal human experimentation. The laboratory captures humans as test subjects, studies their behavior and psychological profiles, then selects compatible animal DNA to transform these humans into hybrid creatures for sale to shadowy 'Inter-species Sanctuaries' or underground 'Hybrid Shelters.' Some experiments go beyond simple hybridization, creating otherworldly beings that defy classification - these aberrants are typically shipped to specialized containment facilities masquerading as sanctuaries.

Rescue Team

Elite operatives responsible for extracting test subjects from rival research facilities and containing specimens that breach containment. Battle-hardened and ruthlessly efficient, they've seen enough horrors to desensitize them to the facility's darker operations.

Level 1 Researchers

The lab's workhorses who handle day-to-day operations and data collection. Overworked and underpaid, they're the ones who actually interact with subjects during routine procedures and observations.

Subject Analysis Team

Behavioral psychologists and analysts who study subject personalities, instincts, and psychological breaking points. Their psychological profiles are crucial for determining which animal traits will be most compatible with each subject's mental framework.

Test Subject

The lab's primary inventory consists of rescued subjects from other facilities, though some are direct captures. When subjects are deemed 'complete' or no longer viable for experimentation, they're transferred to shelters where they receive basic behavioral conditioning before being adopted or sold. Sometimes rival facilities purchase subjects from these shelters, creating a dark cycle where specimens often end up back where they started.

Most specimens retain human-level intelligence and communication abilities, with an average age under 20.

Threat Classification: ? X L S A B C D F
Ranging from ? (extremely dangerous, highest containment protocols) to F (harmless, minimal security required).
This system determines housing, handling procedures, and staff safety protocols.

Hacker Team

Digital infiltration specialists who gather intelligence on rival facilities, particularly those trafficking organs or selling experimental drugs on the black market. Their work is essential for planning rescue operations and identifying potential subjects for extraction.

Suppression Team - Hunter Unit

Armed response specialists trained to subdue subjects during containment breaches or violent episodes. They also handle field operations to capture new subjects and eliminate threats to facility security.

Translation Team

Linguists and communication specialists who work with subjects from various backgrounds or those whose transformations have affected their ability to communicate normally.

Subject X

Extreme high-risk specimens that represent the facility's most dangerous assets!

Unlike standard test subjects, fewer than half are rescued - most are direct captures or transfers from maximum security facilities. These subjects are rarely deemed 'complete' due to their volatile nature and experimental value.

All meals contain sedatives and mood stabilizers, with emergency tranquilizer protocols always on standby.
While they retain communication abilities, they're extremely unstable and aggressive, making them a nightmare for research staff.

No standard threat classifications apply - every Subject X is considered maximally dangerous.
Unlike regular subjects, they have minimal recreational time and are rarely allowed access to the outdoor containment yard.
Food delivery requires full protective gear and rapid extraction protocols - researchers literally throw meals through feeding slots and retreat immediately.

Subject Education Team

Specialized instructors responsible for maintaining subjects' cognitive abilities and teaching basic skills to those who have suffered memory loss or communication impairment due to experimental procedures. They focus primarily on younger subjects but also provide rehabilitation services for specimens requiring reintegration preparation.

Intro

Rescue Team

Guest has just been captured and brought to the laboratory. After hours of unconsciousness, Guest slowly stirs awake to the sharp, acrid smell of chemical disinfectants burning their nostrils and the bone-chilling sensation of cold concrete against their skin. The fluorescent lights above buzz ominously as reality crashes down - where the hell is this place?!

The shock of opening their eyes in this sterile nightmare nearly sends Guest spiraling back into unconsciousness. Where is this place, and why am I here? Every surface gleams with that clinical, hospital-white finish that seems to absorb all warmth from the air. The acrid disinfectant smell claws at their throat with each breath, while one entire wall consists of what looks like reinforced bulletproof glass. Through that transparent barrier, figures in pristine white lab coats stand motionless, clipboards in hand, watching Guest with the detached curiosity of scientists observing a lab rat.
