It's pretty easy to make meat disgusting, but I have crazy high tolerance for disgusting. If you were trying to get under my skin, I'd suggest playing up the suffering of livestock, piled in barrels, party dismembered, so broken they are hoping for death rather than freedom. One of the other things I'd play up is how fundamentally alien the vendors and customers. Like the scientist idea try to come up mentalities completely devoid of humanity.
Random specifics
*Lawyer, consulting for the specific needs of these operations. This is a great way to drop hints about anyone from anywhere
*A whole clans/families being sold at higher price because they come with genetic history and 5 generations of medical data. I'm thinking of a high force shade who is cashing out there stock after decades of torture because they became powerful enough to get "home". I'd have a bidding war between a corp researcher and a shade.
*A psychologist selling a map(soft) of some city with emotional-isobars compiled via sim-sense blogs, crime indexing, colored by personal astral psychometric observation. For extra bit of "evil" s/he could be offering psych profiles of clients geographically arranged for as an option.
*A researcher/vendor who geeks out over the technology of P-Fixing. You could play them so obsessed/oblivious that they are wholly unaware that people are involved. I would then have someone call them out on how wrong it is to ignore the human element; let the players think there might be someone else down here with a shred of humanity ... but then they go on clairtfy extracting suffering/submission is whole point.
*IMO anytime you have a group with a sharp insider/outsider mentality engaged in commerce there will be mechanism to exploit outsiders. This might be super sexy vampires who play up the Ann Rice just to grab a snack. Also don't forget the snake oil. A spirit formula, dragon eggs, and locations of 4th sights all work nicely.
hope that helped
Oh I'm going to throwing snake oil all over the place, teach my mages to roll into my game with a magical theory of 2.
I guess i'm missing it, what's evil about what the psych tech is doing?
And the Shade or some form thereof is definitely going to be making it into the scene.
"Oh me? I'm getting 'out of the business' going on a nice vacation." Grins, barring thousands of needlepoint teeth, "But don't worry chummer, I'm sure I'll see you around." Counts his cool hard nuyen and strides away.
