A meeting gone wrong.

With a low rumble, V's motorcycle drove through the tunnel towards the storm channel, which was to be their meeting spot. The lights of her Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X reflected off the pale, naked concrete. They could be set to any imaginable shade with a press of a button, but for now, she had opted for a bright neon blue. As she arrived at her destination, she saw that her contact was already there. A large, black SUV with the Militech logo on the side was parked almost smack dead in the middle. As she stopped nearby and approached, she spotted three women standing around the car. Booting up her scanner, she gave each a once-over.

The first one was a woman, if she could be called such. She was easily two meters tall, almost as wide, and if the sheer amount of muscle that no uniform could hide was any indication, had to weigh at least 140KG. She had light brown skin, betraying her Middle American heritage, and short, black hair styled in a pixie cut that looked oddly out of place on such a large frame. Focusing on her, her scanner returned surprisingly few details. Just a name, and her affiliation. Maya and Militech, with the animal gang listed as a former member.

The other woman was bronzed from many hours in the naked sun. She had a lithe, petite build and sported a short mohawk dyed a vibrant green. Again, her scanner came up short when she focused on her. Jade. A former nomad from some backwater family V couldn't be bothered to remember the specifics about. All her scanner told her was that she left her family in search of bigger dreams in the city. Looks like she found them with Militech.

And finally, the third woman, the one she was here for. Her scanner identified her as Meredith Stout, a Senior Operations Manager for Militech, but nothing more. Seriously, what was with her scanner today? Vic ensured that she would have access to all the classified databases in Night City. So either the scanner was malfunctioning, Vic was lying, or the personnel files of these women were restricted and encoded beyond what her modest netrunning skills could decrypt. Neither option sounded promising, but she would have to deal with this later. Now, it was time for business.

Approaching the trio, she noticed the two women at the side straighten up at attention after a sharp order from Meredith.

"Meredith Stout, I take it you were the one who called?"

She extended her hand towards V in a greeting. V moved to shake it, but whatever she was about to say was abruptly cut off when the brute of a woman moved with surprising speed and a meaty fist connected straight to the side of her face. The impact had enough **** to make her sight go black, and she collapsed to the ground. Before she could recover, the large woman was on top of her, pinning her to the ground with her arms behind her back while the one with the green mohawk had a pistol aimed directly at her. Meredith walked into view and leaned down, her face one of cold fury.

"Thought you could **** me, bitch. Set conditions?"

Still reeling from the blow, she was hoisted off the ground and shoved against the SUV.

"Are you alone? Are there more coming?"

Meredith was wasting no time interrogating her.

"Nope, just little old me."

Meredith looked at V for a moment before she turned to Jade.

"Do a sweep of the area. Now."

Jade pulled out a tablet, and after tapping a few things, a standard Militech drone flew from the back of the SUV and began to scan the area for anything out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, Maya had plugged a cable into her personal link, and the muscled woman's eyes were glowing red.

"Now tell me. Who are you working for? Is it this piece of shit?"

Meredith held out a picture of some dude V had never seen, and she said as much.

"Nope, never seen him in my life."

Maya's eyes glowed green, and she confirmed the truth to her boss in a deep voice.

"She's telling the truth."

"Hmm."

Meredith paced back and forth for a moment, and V was about to say something when she turned to her other subordinate.

"Anything on the sweep?"

Jade looked up from the tablet and shook her head.

"Nothing, ma'am. Just the four of us."

"Do a scan on the bitch, see what you can find."

Jade looked over at V for a moment, and the interface of her optics alerted V that an unauthorised profile scan was being made. V had no idea how much Militech would have on her, seeing as she had kept a fairly low profile ever since joining up with Jackie.

"Okay, let's see what we have here. Bitch's name is 'V'. Real name, Valerie. Low-level mercenary. Recently seen in the presence of one Dexter Deshawn."

Okay, now V was getting slightly worried. Her real name was NOT public knowledge, and she only met Dexter the other day. A victorious laugh from Jade drew everyone's attention to the petite woman.

"Oh, listen to this. Ex Arasaka counterintel."

"So what? She was Abernathy's bottom bitch?"

Meredith was still clearly angry, but at least she appeared to have calmed down some.

"She wished. According to this, she never made it that far."

"So Jenkins then."

Meredith turned to look at V.

"So how'd you fuck that position up? Rumour has it, Jenkins is pretty easy to manipulate; all you have to do is spread your legs from him. Is that how you got the job?"

"FUCK YOU BITCH. I would never do that."

Immediately, Maya's eyes flashed red.

"She's lying. The slut must have slept her way to the top"

"Then she must have been bad at it."

Maya's words drew everyone's focus back to her.

"According to this, she got sent on a hit job doomed to fail. She was supposed to take out Abernathy for Jenkins, but she got found out within the hour, and her contract was terminated on the spot. It was only due to interference from a local merc named Jackie Welles that they didn't bring her in as well."

And now, V was straight-up panicking. They knew far more than they should. Clearly, Militech was as good at digging up dirt as Arasaka. She watched as Meredith approached her, a cigarette in one hand, and a cold, calculating look in her eyes.

"So, old Jenkins washed his hands of you after he had his fun and realised how worthless you actually are. Well, his loss, and my gain, I guess."

She turned to Jade.

"Do we have those new programs ready? We can use a replacement after that last one 'broke.'"

Jade got into the SUV and, after a brief moment, returned with a small case.

"Here it is, ma'am. My friend in engineering assured me it should work as desired, but we should report anything out of the ordinary so it can be fixed."

Meredith took the case and opened it. The small black box slid open, revealing a simple data shard. Meredith took it out and looked at it from all sides before handing it to Jade.

"Do it."

Jade approached V, who was still pinned to the SUV by Maya's significant physical strength.

"Hold her tight now, Maya."

Maya's grip increased to the point of hurting, and V couldn't suppress a low grunt of pain as her head was twisted painfully to the side, revealing her neural socket. Jade took the shard and easily inserted it into V's reader.

"Say goodbye to your old life, bitch. Your ass belongs to us now."

The moment the shard was being accessed by V's neuroware, the overlay on her optics went haywire with alarms and messages.

'Warning: Unauthorised data upload'

'Deploying ICE protocols.'

'ICE protocols failed to deploy.'

'Uploading Corporate ****.prtcl'

'Uploading carrot/stick.prtcl'

'Uploading Master/****.prtcl'

'Uploading Sensecontrol.prtcl'

'Uploading Fuckbunny.prtcl'

'Uploads completed. Unpacking.'

V watched in horror as a string of protocols was being uploaded into her cyberware, and a progressbar began to fill up. When the bar was full, all the messages disappeared save for one.

'Completed, all data successfully unpacked and installed.'

V blinked once. She didn't feel different. Her interface looked the same. Maybe it wasn't working? She did a self-scan of her systems and immediately knew she was wrong. Everything looked different now. There was far less information than she should have gotten, and the info boxes had a distinctly Militech look to them. Almost everything she tried to access resulted in a simple message.

'Access denied, administrator or Master authorisation required.'

V's eyes widened in horror. What had they done to her? Her gaze fell on Meredith, and in a surprise burst of speed and strength born from pure fury, she broke free of Maya's grip and lunged at Meredith.

"YOU FUCKING CUNT. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?"

Meredith, for her part, appeared completely unfazed. She merely raised an eyebrow, and her eyes briefly flashed the typical electric blue of someone using cyberware. In the corner of V's vision, a new icon appeared, next to where her stamina readout would usually be. It was identified as Sensecontrol: arousal. A number next to it was rapidly counting up. Before she could comprehend what was happening, the number was already at 100. An intense wave of arousal flooded her body, and she staggered as the sheer **** of it hit her like a truck. She felt her pussy get wet at an alarming rate, even though nothing about the current situation would warrant that. The number increased further to 300, and she let out a strangled moan as sheer sexual need overwhelmed her senses. At 700, she fell to the ground, her hands between her legs, pawing at her crotch, too far gone to realise her pants were in the way for any meaningful action. At 1000, all coherent thought was gone, and all she could think of was the overwhelming need to get off. She had never, EVER in her life been so horny. Her pants were soaked through by the obscene amount of juices spilling from her pussy like a leaky faucet. Curled into herself, desperately working her hands between her legs like a cheap 10 eddy whore tripping on some ****.

Something heavy landed on the side of her head, and her face was pressed against the rough concrete by Meredith's boot. But V didn't care about any of that. Instead, she let out a joyous whoop as her **** hands finally managed to undo her pants. She shoved them inside her pants and quickly found her absolutely drenched pussy. She made a sound that was barely considered human as her fingers slid easily into her cunt, and a fresh wave of pleasure drowned her senses.

"String her up. I want to see what she has to offer."

V never registered Meredith's orders. Her mind focused on the singular task of masturbating. Her entire body shook and trembled when the first orgasm hit her. Far faster than she normally would, and far stronger than should be possible. She let out a **** cry of protest as her hands were grabbed by Maya and clasped in a set of military-grade handcuffs. The muscular woman **** her arms above her head, where a drone was hovering. There was an electronic whine as a powerful magnet got switched on, and the cuffs shot towards the drone, where they locked in place underneath the frame. The drone slowly moved up, stretching her arms farther and farther until her feet were just barely off the ground, hanging by her arms and bearing the full weight of her body on her sockets. The pain was intense and just enough to cut through the mind-fogging arousal that was still affecting her. She turned her head towards Meredith, who was standing in front of her, smoking a cigarette as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

Jade approached V from behind, and she heard a sound she would recognise anywhere. It was the sound of a mantis blade unfolding from Jade's lower arm. Using the serrated blade, she began to cut away V's clothes. Meanwhile, whatever programs they had installed onto her cortex were still wreaking havoc with her body. The Sensecontrol icon was still visible in the top left corner of her vision, and though the number had dropped to a lower 800, it still made her squirm and gyrate, flopping around in the air like a fish on dry land.

Meredith slowly circled V, and the helpless merc could feel the corpo's eyes on her every step of the way.

"She's pretty."

Jade's voice was soft, almost appreciative. And if V were in any other situation, she might have acted on that. Now though.

"She'd make a good replacement for the last one. And if her skills as a merc match her looks, she might actually be useful beyond her body. Especially if she knows how to use all the cyberware our scans are picking up."

Meredith had completed her inspection at the same time Jade finished cutting away the last of her clothes, leaving the hapless merc completely naked. With a delicate whirr of rotors, the blade folded back into Jade's arm. Meredith grabbed V's chin and turned her face so the two women could look each other in the eye.

"Yes, she'll do nicely. After some training, obviously."

Incensed enough that her anger cut through the arousal still flooding her senses, V did the only thing she could, given her restrictions. She spat a large glob straight at Meredith's face.

"FUCK YOU, CORPO CUNT. You're insane if you think I'll cooperate with any of your twisted plans."

There was dead silence between the four women. The only sound was V's pained grunts as she struggled against her binds or the occasional whimper as a wave of arousal burned through her righteous fury. After a moment, Meredith reached up to wipe the spit from her face, her emotions betraying nothing of the inner anger she felt at the insult.

"Step back."

She commanded Jade while she flicked her left arm outwards with a sharp motion. A little port on the inside of her wrist opened up, and a length of thin metal wire unfurled from it until it was just reaching the ground.

"Now, which one to start with?"

Meredith mused as she looked at her palm. Her eyes lit up with sadistic glee as she curled one finger inward, touching something just above the wire's exit port.

"This one will do."

As she touched a little button hidden underneath her skin, electricity began to crackle through the wire, causing the thin implement to spark as jolts of lightning sprang from it occasionally.

V had just enough time to comprehend the implications before Meredith swung her arm towards her, and the electrically charged monowire struck the front of her chest. V screamed as pain unlike anything she had felt before bloomed from her breasts and filled her entire body. It seemed that the SenseControl program they uploaded enhanced not only pleasurable feelings, but also those caused by pain. Again, Meredith struck out, lashing her monowire against the merc's back this time. Again, V couldn't suppress herself completely, and a loud grunt of pain escaped her lips before she could stop herself. After three or four strikes, Meredith used her middle finger to touch another button, and the electricity stopped crackling along the steel wire. Instead, it began to glow red as heat was being channelled through the whipping implement. Not that V registered the change, focused as she was on staying conscious and enduring the pain. It wasn't until the searing heat of the wire struck across one of her nipples that she noticed, and the scream she unleased was high-pitched and blood-curdling. By now, V's body was writhing and twitching as aftershocks of pain wracked her body. Each twist, each jerk put strain on her arms and shoulders, and it was only her cybernetic augmentations that prevented them from being pulled from their sockets or severely damaged. But that was the only benefit; it did absolutely nothing to help with the pain she felt.

"Have you learned your lesson now, ****?"

Meredith asked as she stood at V's side. Her left hand was casually resting on her hip, with the glowing red wire draging along the ground where it drew black scorch marks in the concrete. Before anyone could say anything, a different voice came from behind the group.

"Damn, you, Militech women play hard."

The group turned around, or in V's case, managed to weakly turn her head just enough to see what was behind her. There stood a man in his late 50's. His clothes were tattered, his hair unkempt, and he reeked of filth and ****—one of the many, many homeless of Night City.

"I wouldn't mind having a go at her when you're done."

His voice was lecherous, and he took a step closer to the four women, clearly intending to join them. Meredith snarled in anger and, with a press of her middle finger, increased the heat of the wire before she struck out at the homeless man. Unlike when she was hitting V, the monowire struck the man at his hip, then went diagonally upwards towards his opposing shoulder. The wire went straight through the poor man, cutting through flesh and bone alike, while the heat ignited his clothes and body. The man gave a single pained cry before his corpse fell in two burning chunks to the ground.

Meredith turned to Jade, displeasure and barely contained anger clear to see.

"I thought you said there was no one around? Then what the fuck is THAT?"

She pointed at the two smouldering humps of flesh. Jade looked sheepishly, unable to provide any excuse that would please her superior. She frantically began to work on her tablet, and the drone she used earlier to scout around shot up in the air with a speed and recklessness born from desperation. Meredith, meanwhile, grabbed V's chin with her free hand and twisted the struggling merc's head to face her. V was breathing hard, residual pain still wrecked her nerves from time to time as the SenseControl kept her body's sensitivity at an all-time high.

"Who do you work for, Bitch? Who sent you? My number, how'd you get it?"

V's mind focused just long enough to process the question before another tremor caused her to spasm violently. When she answered, her voice was shaky and raw from screaming.

"Dexter...DeShawn. Looking for...flathead bot. Gave me your number. To...negotiate."

Meredith looked straight into V's eyes for a moment before turning to Jade.

"Well? Did you miss anything?"

Jade turned to look at her boss, her eyes glowing a soft blue to indicate she could see what the scout drone saw.

"A small group of homeless people have gathered to the south of here. I guess one of them was attracted to the bitch's screams, or was just passing through on his way to the others."

"Well? Don't just stand there. UNgather them. I don't want any witnesses left behind."

Jade disconnected from the drone, and she gave a sharp salute before her blades extended from both her forearms. The teeth along the blades were dripping with a neon-green liquid that looked so unnatural it had to be man-made. Without any further words, she dashed off in the direction of the homeless people with a speed that showcased her high-end cybernetic legs. Meredith turned back to V.

"As for you. I guess you deserve a little reward for cooperating."

Meredith's eyes glowed again, and a new icon appeared next to the SenseControl one. It was identified as the Carrot/stick protocol. The icon consisted of a small carrot and stick next to each other, and as Meredith's eyes stopped glowing, the Carot lid up. Immediately, the intense pain wracking V's body dulled down, and instead, pleasure and arousal flooded her system. Before she could stop herself, V let out a moan as the pleasure hit her core and her pussy spasmed painfully around nothing. Meredith turned to Maya.

"I need to think. Keep the bitch busy. Just, don't kill her like last time, you hear me?"

"Sure thing, boss. I'll be real careful this time."

V could only watch helplessly as Meredith walked back to the SUV and leaned against the side. In the distance, screams of terror and pain echoed down the storm channel as Jade made short work of the poor group of homeless people. Further thoughts about random bystanders went out the window as her HUD informed her of a quickhack being uploaded.

'Reboot optics uploading.'

'Completed.'

That was the last thing V saw, as the successful upload rebooted her cybernetic eyes and her world went completely dark. She began to thrash and squirm in sheer panic, but Maya's large hands and indomitable strength kept her firmly in place. Then, she felt something push against her asshole, and she fell completely still.

"You feel that, bitch? It's called: The weapon of ass destruction. And it's the biggest buttplug ever made. Now, don't hold back. I want to hear you scream while I fuck that tight little ass of yours with it."

V barely had the time to process Maya's threat before the pressure against her rear entrance increased. And increased. And increased. She was stretched wider than anything she had ever had before, and she grunted in pain as the plug slowly, but surely, was **** into her defenceless rear. Dangling from her wrists, with the tips of her feet just barely scraping the concrete, and with Maya's grip on her hips, V could do nothing to prevent what was happening. Nothing but scream. So she did. Louder and harder than she had ever screamed before. For a full minute, there was only the excruciating pain of an object far too large for any human being being **** into an opening that it was simply not made for. But despite it all, with a sickening 'pop', the plug slipped in the final stretch. V felt full. Far too full. But thanks to the numerous alterations made to her body, she also felt an intense pleasure radiating outwards from her asshole. Her pants and grunts of exertion and pain mixed in with moans of pleasure.

"Yeah, I knew you could take it all, fucking slut that you are. But don't think this is all there is to it. Watch this."

Of course, watching was something V could not do. With her eye implants turned off, complete blackness was all she saw. Her enhanced senses, however, registered the sudden vibrations coming from the buttplug the moment they started. The intensity of the vibrations, paired with her enhanced senses and weakened state, wreaked havoc with the poor merc. Within seconds, she was squirming around. But not from pain. Despite it all, an intensely powerful orgasm was growing inside of her. And the longer the vibrations lasted, the higher the pressure got. When Maya grabbed the base of the plug and began to move it back and forth, the added sensations drove V over the edge, and with an almighty scream, she came. Her body twisted and spasmed as the orgasm ripped through her, and she sprayed the sandy concrete beneath her as the **** of her climax made her squirt.

"Oh yeah. Looks like we got ourselves a gusher boss. Let's see if we can do it again."

Maya continued toying with the suspended merc for several more minutes, determined to find out if V's squirting orgasm was a fluke or not. It wasn't. In that time, she made V climax seven more times. And each one was accompanied by screams of passion, and a generous spray of her juices from her pussy.

"Maya, shut her up, I can barely think with her screaming her head off."

Even in the absolute darkness of her world, V saw a new icon appear on her interface. I set of lips, with a single finger over it. Immediately, her voice cut out. 'A gag program.' V thought. They were designed to be used in the **** business, to keep slaves silent. Now she couldn't even make a sound. She still screamed, or at least, went through the motions of it, but she never made a single sound. After what felt like an eternity, an eternity of relentless pleasure, orgasms, and mind-numbing pain in her ass. Meredith spoke up again.

"Alright, I've got a plan. You can let her down now."

V felt the shackles around her wrists open a fraction before her spent body fell limp to the ground. Occasionally, she would twitch or make a soundless grunt of pain, but she made no effort to move away. The icon indicating her disabled eye implants disappeared, and with a blinding flash of light, her sight returned. Meredith was standing in front of her, hands on her knees as she hunched down to be more level with her. Behind the corpo, she could see Jade had returned, her previously immaculate uniform splattered with streaks of blood. Meredith grabbed V's head and turned it to the side. There, she saw the bound and struggling body of another person. Her scanner identified him as Anthony Gilchrist, whoever that was.

"You see that asshole? I don't need him anymore. Not now that I have you. So, as my first order, I want you to kill him."

On V's interface, a new icon appeared. It showed a puppet, with strings runningfrom it's limbs to a large hand above it. At the same time, a notification appeared underneath it.

'Master/**** protocol active.'

Slowly, V got up and stumbled her way to the bound man beside her. Her movements were sluggish, jerky. In part, because she was dead tired from her ordeal. But also, because she was fighting against the protocol every step of the way. But it proved useless in the end. When V reached Anthony, she looked down at him. His eyes were wide and terrified. He knew what was about to happen, and he tried desperately to prevent it. But his struggles were as futile as V's, and with the cloth stuffed in his mouth, anything he tried to say came out as muffled garbage. V raised her left arm, and from the outside of her wrist, her projectile launch system extended. She aimed it at Anthony and, with a twitch of a muscle, fired. At this range, it didn't matter where she hit him. The launcher's explosive round struck him dead centre, and her died in a spectacular explosion of blood, guts, and flesh, leaving nothing but a scorched crater.

The Master/**** icon disappeared, and instead, the Carrot/stick icon lit up again. A familiar wave of intense pleasure and satisfaction filled V, and her legs buckled from the impact it had on her, making her fall to her knees. Meredith approached her and, with a metallic 'Chink', closed a collar around her neck.

"Well done, ****. You'll find that if you just obey your orders, your life will be much better. And, much more enjoyable. Now, get in the car."

The Master/**** icon appeared, and V began to walk to the car. This time, there was less hesitation in her actions, as if she accepted that fighting the order was useless.

"Not like that." Came Meredith's sharp tone. "On your hands and knees. Crawl, like the bitch **** you are."

After a brief moment of hesitation, V dropped to her hands and knees and began to crawl. Meredith followed closely behind her, holding V's leash in one hand like she was walking a dog. Upon reaching the waiting SUV, she climbed into the backseat as best she could.

"Jade, take the bitch's bike and follow us."

Jade gave a sharp nod and got on what used to be V's bike. The last thing she saw before the car door closed was the neon blue lighting on her bike change to a muted jade green. With a damning crash, the door closed behind her, and she was on the floor of the car, with Meredith sitting on the seat. Towering over her, like the Mistress she now knew she was.

As the two vehicles began to drive away, towards a destination and a future she could only imagine, she wondered what else was in store for her.
