Plot for sale! Who will buy my plot! Actually, it's free.
I was reading a story today where John breaks his back and becomes handicap. It got me thinking about the two types of severe injuries stories - the one where there's miracualous healing, and the one where there's no healing.
It gave me the idea for a story in which John is severely injured and nanites are used to heal him. Either the nanites take over (either putting him in a hallucination like in The Real World, or control his body, or mind, or whatever) or the presence of nanites in his body makes him a security risk, he's locked up, studied and, maybe, is treated poorly (less human, more specimen). He tries to escape, which only makes matters worse, or thing are done to him that are slowly causing him to deteriorate.
And Rodney, of course, struggles to find a way to help John by either proving the nanites are harmless or searching for a way to rid Sheppard of the nanites.
If no one decides to take this, I may take a stab at it, but it's a big "maybe". So, please, feel free to run with it if you wish.
