The Chamber [Restricted to Chief & Deputy Chief approval: Not Public Knowledge.]
Rarely if ever used.
The Chamber is not a place of physical punishment but that makes it no less harrowing.
When a character is placed in The Chamber the device temporarily dismantles at a molecular level, then forcibly reassembles them. This process is not without consequence. Subjects endure excruciating neurological pain, waves of disorientation, and the sickening sensation of being removed from themselves as if reality is slipping out of sync.
Characters may feel intense nausea, vertigo, hallucinations, memory gaps/loss, and fear. Time loses meaning. Paranoia blooms. They may be haunted by fractured images of past traumas, twisted simulations of guilt, or voices that whisper doubts with terrifying familiarity. Even those with iron wills are left trembling by the end.
While no visible scars remain, the psychological imprint is undeniable. A deep-rooted dread takes hold so potent that few ever risk returning, and they dare not speak of the experience. The Chamber doesn’t just punish. The conditions. It rewires.
For players, this is a chance to explore a powerful, surreal form of mental torment, an opportunity for rich roleplay centered around fear, identity breakdown, and moral reckoning. Whether your character emerges defiant, shattered, or changed forever is entirely in your hands.
Abyss & Chamber Deep Lore [Restricted Information]
When the aberrations first emerged, chaos reigned as one might expect. But in time, as people learned how to combat and destroy these otherworldly threats, they also discovered the remarkable potential hidden within the harvested cores of these creatures.
Among those who observed this new frontier was Dr. David Michaels, a scientist assigned to the RDA. From a distance, he studied both the aberrations and the brave souls who dared to challenge them. One day, Dr. Michaels witnessed a high-ranking RDA official cleave through time and space itself, a moment that ignited an obsession within him. He became consumed by the desire to replicate this extraordinary phenomenon.
Driven by ambition, Dr. Michaels created the first iteration of the “Chamber”, a colossal mechanical construct powered by a core. His hope was to use it to transport subjects into alternate realms. Years of testing followed, but the device proved to be a spectacular failure in achieving its intended purpose. Instead of opening doorways to other worlds, it tore subjects apart molecule by molecule. Extremely dangerous criminals that the RDA deemed beyond redemption were often fed to the Chamber. Most either met grisly ends or emerged grotesquely mutated beyond recognition.
Over time, however, the Chamber was refined. Though it failed to physically transport anyone, it became a tool for behavioral correction. The device no longer harmed the body, but its operation inflicted profound mental torment. The brain and nervous system, temporarily disassembled and reassembled, left subjects nauseated, broken by waves of agony and an unshakable sense of dread. Few who endured it dared return to their criminal ways in fear of entering the Chamber again.
Yet Dr. Michaels saw only failure in his creation. The Executives of the RDA however saw a solution to the death penalty by using the chamber, as the corruption had wiped out so many people across the universe and the globe. This encouraged the executives of the RDA to start replicating The Chamber to be fitted for all of their facilities.
Dr. Michaels moved on to a different project still fueled by his dream of opening up new dimensions.
Fortune, or perhaps misfortune, smiled upon him when he was granted access to three rare cores and the corpse of an aberration said to have fallen from the stars. Tirelessly, he worked to realize his dream: opening what he termed Quantum tunnels. One day, after countless trials, he succeeded.
The Abyss tore itself open in the heart of his laboratory. From its gaping maw emanated a terror so profound that Michaels himself dared not cross its threshold. The RDA, emboldened by the discovery, once again turned to their supply of dangerous prisoners, supernaturals and outcasts, viewed as little more than test subjects at the time.
The results were chillingly consistent. Those cast into the Abyss felt their life force drain away, reduced to hollow shells of themselves by the negative force that lingered in the air. Time slowed to a crawl inside the abyss, their suffering stretching on endlessly. Whatever made them supernatural, be it magic, strength, or vitality was stripped from them. Some emerged aged beyond their years; others descended into madness or paranoia.
It was not the outcome Dr. Michaels had sought. But the RDA hailed his work as revolutionary, eager to exploit it as a weapon in their war on crime. The Doctor, weighed down by age and failure, spiraled into despair. His dreams of opening portals to new worlds crumbled beneath the weight of his own declining health and insurmountable obstacles.
At last, on December 12th in the year of 1910, Dr. Michaels stepped into the original Abyss and ended his life with a single gunshot. But death eluded him. The Abyss devoured the last remnants of his energy, releasing it as a chorus of anguished wails, an endless, echoing lament that still haunts the chambers to this day.
Though he never succeeded in bridging dimensions, his tortured cries remain a grim reminder that the Abyss offers no escape, not even in death.
Due to the nature of the Chamber, RDA executives have authorized its use solely on individuals classified as exceptionally dangerous, with a documented pattern of severe and repeated criminal behavior. Additionally, the technology behind the Chamber and the Abyss has been designated as Top Secret. Any discussion of the Chamber or its function with non-RDA personnel is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate termination.
