Riot Doctors Network
The surgeon has no name. By the time the patient wakes with new power coursing through rewired neural pathways, the person who cut them open has already changed faces, changed towns, and paid a Vault Teller to erase any trace of their presence. The Riot Doctors Network does not leave evidence. It leaves devastation.
Riot Doctors are underground Necrological surgeons who specialize in amplifying Aberrant psionics beyond natural limits. Their tools are surgically implanted Necrology devices, Necrotic Crystals, and procedures that rewrite the patient's body at a fundamental level. Those who survive walk away with unrestricted psionic potential. Their bodies are permanently altered, dependent on unstable devices that require frequent maintenance. But they have power that the cautious, the regulated, and the lawful will never achieve.
The cost is not measured in currency. It is measured in miles of wasteland consumed by the dead. Every procedure triggers a violent reaction from the Mortis Amaranthine. Tier 3 and Apocalyptic class undead erupt from the earth in unstoppable waves of slaughter that sweep across the surrounding landscape. Multiple miles of territory are thrown into chaos. Settlements ban the work not out of morality but out of self-preservation. The dead do not discriminate between the surgeon's clients and the farmers living three settlements away.
This is why Riot Doctors move constantly, operate alone, and erase themselves between jobs. They are sought out, not found. Clients come to them for power, not desperation, and the price of that power is paid by everyone in the vicinity who did not ask for it. Disposable augmentation gizmos offer short-term psionic amplification for those unwilling to commit to full surgery, but even these carry risk.
The network has no central leadership. Each Riot Doctor is an isolated practitioner connected to the Dead Market through supply chains and client referrals. They corner the market on Psionic and Festering Crystals, ensuring that anyone who wants what they offer has no alternative source. The monopoly is absolute, the procedures are catastrophic, and the line of clients never shortens.

Structure
The Riot Doctors Network has no central leadership. Practitioners operate in isolation, hiding their identities, changing their names, and using Vault Teller services to erase themselves from memory between procedures. They are sought out by clients rather than advertising their services. Once a procedure is complete, the surgeon vanishes into the wasteland until the next job finds them.
Public Agenda
Amplify Aberrant psionic potential beyond natural limits through surgical Necrological implants. The Riot Doctors also corner the market on Psionic Crystals and Festering Crystals, and supply enhanced operatives for clients willing to pay the price.
History
The Riot Doctors Network grew out of the Dead Market's interest in pushing the boundaries of what the Infection and Necrology could do to living bodies. At some point, practitioners discovered that surgically implanted Necrological devices could amplify Aberrant psionic potential beyond natural limits, permanently altering the recipient's body and rewriting its fundamental structure.
The consequences proved catastrophic. Every procedure triggers a violent reaction from the Mortis Amaranthine. Tier 3 and Apocalyptic class undead erupt from the earth in unstoppable waves, throwing multiple miles of wasteland into chaos. Settlements began banning the work not out of morality but out of self-preservation. The surgeons responded by going underground, adopting identities that could be shed and forgotten. The practice persists because the demand for unrestricted psionic power has never diminished.

Underground psionic surgeons. Every procedure triggers catastrophic undead eruptions across miles of wasteland. The surgeon has no name and no face you will remember.
