Reasons why your lab rat whumpee might be being experimented on:
CW: lab whump, medical whump, unethical science, military mention, drug mention
- Whumpee is a different species and the scientists are trying to figure out how their body works. (cough cough alien abduction cough cough)
- An ethically questionable military organization is trying to create a living weapon.
- Or, military organization testing the effectiveness of various types of weapons.
- A scientist who has been thrown out of their academic circle for their outlandish theories and horrifying techniques is trying to prove themself. If they just run the right experiments on whumpee, everybody will have to believe them and they’ll be hailed as a hero.
- A big biomedical company needs to test some new drugs/procedures.
- Whumpee is the only person who survived some sort of extreme event (radiation, virus, etc.) and now scientists want to know why.
- Whumpee was given a choice: either go to prison for the rest of their life or be a lab rat for a year.
- A sorcerer uses whumpee to test new spells and potions.
- Whumpee has super powers and scientists want to figure out how they work.
- Whumpee was spying on organization conducting unethical experiments, but was caught and is now a lab rat themself.
- And of course, there’s always old-fashioned sadism masquerading as science.
