Run at Chimera 2014

Any shadowy Power can exercise its right to do pretty much whatever it wants. Few of the scientists, politicians and sociologists who run such establishments think about the unseen human variable in their equations of power. Nevertheless, they are there. Some enterprising Powers seek to minimise the impact of their experiments by isolating their human guinea pigs.

In a metal room, lit only by fluorescent lamps, a group of people awake. Knowing nothing and suspecting everything they have no choice but to re-create the shattered memories of what brought them to this place before they are used up in whatever experiment spawned them.
