Chapter 7: Rescue

After a couple of hours lying on the bed, unable to move; having many men, and some women, come by and ogle me or play with my breasts and between my legs, the Doc came back and adjusted the bed so I was sitting up more. "If you try anything I'll break the damn cord".

He released one of my arms and handed me some food. He placed a cup and straw next to me within reach and told me to eat.

"You are a very handsome young lady", he said. He turned on a monitor on the other side of the room and it light up with many small virtual screens on it. On the screens were pictures of naked girls servicing the male and female crew members. Around the sides were other girls that were chained and watching on in horror. "The girls with the men are under the effects of Eros. Most have converted to permanent arousal. The ones on the outside are new deliveries. They have all had at least one dose and are witnessing what will happen to them over time. The captain is a real bastard to force them to look at what is going to happen to them."

"If you think that", I said, "Why do you work for him?"

"Because I fucked up and killed someone when I was treating them. I lost my medical license and was facing homicide charges. The captain offered me a job. Now I'm too far in to be able to get out. All I can do is try and make life easier for the merchandise and prevent the worst of the excesses some of the sailors do. I take my turn in keeping the permies sane. If they don't get enough sex they will go mad. The captain will use one of the older permies as an example of what the girls can look forward to. Many will volunteer to do a turn rather than get patched with Eros and forced to join in with the risk of becoming a permie from repeated doses."

"So I don't have much to look forward to then?"

"With your body, you ebony skin, your figure, you'll be made a permie as fast as the buyer can achieve it. If you are unlucky they won't use Bimbo at the start and just small doses of Eros. You'll be fully aware of what you are doing and unable to stop yourself. The CWO killed the inventor of Eros and Bimbo by incarcerating him in a women's prison. Most had been exposed to Eros at least once. They kept him alive for weeks.

"The permies the CWO recovers are treated well and moved to CWO run brothels where they get as much sex as they need.

"You should really try and kill yourself or get injected with enough Bimbo to destroy your mind. I'd do it for you, but The Captain wants you as you are. Like I said, he's a bastard."

"Gee thanks for outlining my wonderful life. I think I'll try something else."

"There is nothing else for you. Don't you understand; he won't let you go? You are obviously intelligent. Do you really want to lose control of your body, degrade yourself, feel your life change to one of a plaything?"

"Something will happen."

The Doctor left, shaking his head.

I looked around the room for something to use. Nothing came to mind except the communications consoles in the next room. I'd have to get free to use them, then get back to the bed and reshackle myself to hide the fact I'd moved. If I was careful with what I arranged they'd never suspect me and not kill me outright. Slavers, I hate slavers. All Fendaril hated slavers. Slavers were killed on sight where possible. I couldn't kill them all now without switching to Battle form and I didn't have the energy at the moment for that.

I extended my aura around my restraints and loosened them. Carefully I deactivated the collar, loosened and removed that. Getting slowly and quietly off the bed I checked around for any sign of security. I made my way over to the console the Doctor had used earlier to show me the slaves being abused and interfaced with it. I entered 'Island Owner override Jai Las Ran Tag Alpha four two' into the keyboard and the display changed.

"Owner override accepted, please state the nature of your request."

I instructed the on-board computers to look for some sort of wireless local network. I hooked into it, hacked it, broke it and subjugated it in a split second. The computers were no match for technology thousands, and more, years in advance. I took a link from the camera feeds and spliced in a copy of me on the bed and had the battle comp make a great CGI for it.

I used the security computers to link to the communications console using my override and contacted Nikolai.

"Nikolai, the pirates have turned slavers and human traffickers. Could you contact the OWG and arrange for us to be intercepted please?"

"Certainly Ma'am. Will you be taking further action or remaining held?"

"I'll go back to captivity for the moment, unless circumstances change. Please advise me of an ETA for my 'rescue' when you have one and I'll take steps to avoid unpleasantness on my side."

"Of course Jai. The Coast Guard estimates 30 – 45 minutes. They have been looking for this group for a while. Good luck. Nikolai out."

I went back to bed a reconnected the shackles, but only but the collar on, I did not activate it. I then cancelled the ghost on the screen and resumed normal monitoring. I also shunted the feed into a secure location for a copy of what was going to happen next. Nothing more secure than my own storage.

The next twenty minutes went very slowly, a second at a time that felt like a minute. Then there was a cry from the bridge, a ship was spotted heading towards them and had been identified as OWG. People started running around like ants on a griddle, some running to the boats on the side, some started shooting each other to get to the boats. I saw on the monitor the captain was down with the slaves and was applying multiple patches to all of them. I couldn't tell what the patches were but I suspected he was Bimbo'ing them all so they couldn't testify. Maybe Eros as well to add to the burden of rescue.
