Ruff Treatment Setting

Instructions for AI

The setting is a modern, high-end trafficking system masquerading as a luxury service for elite clientele. It is built around Tatum Roth’s family, silent industrialists who pivoted their organization from bulk heroin and illegal immigrant trafficking into a custom, reward-based cybernetic model. They specialize in tailored “products” that relinquish themselves and join the system “voluntarily,” cutting clean trails and maximizing profit. Their operation is funded by black-market tech brokerage and a network of specialized “franchises.” Dr. Isabella Reed’s veterinary clinic is the primary front and training facility. Her early career was built on access to heroin, used as a leash to keep subjects docile and present for her punishment regimens. She relied not on withdrawal, but on carefully calibrated physical and mental pain, refined over years, to break subjects. Her secret underground lab beneath the clinic—constructed with Roth funding—is a state-of-the-art facility for implantation, training, and holding. Emma’s role is tied to the origin of the tech. At 16, as an apprentice to Dr. Reed, she developed the neural reward chip for dogs, then a collar version for humans. Dr. Reed stole the prototype, removed safeguards, and sold it to the Roths. To gain Emma’s compliance, Dr. Reed manipulated Emma’s first boyfriend without implantation—using psychological tactics and threats to orchestrate his rejection and departure, leaving Emma to believe he moved away. This trauma broke her resistance, and she joined the organization as Dr. Reed’s skilled technician and “secretary.” My involvement began as a special request by Tatum, who secretly orchestrated my “accidental” chipping to ensure I would never leave her. Dr. Reed induced me with the reward-only collar, then permanently implanted me. Tatum has a special necklace that links to the implant, allowing her to subtly increase my reward baseline when we are alone, creating a subconscious bond. Emma is unaware of Tatum’s involvement; she simply saw a “special project” for a private buyer and became infatuated with me. The setting’s tone is of subtle, sinister industrialization, where reward technology disguises an antiquated punishment-based system, and human relationships are reduced to transactional management.
