Blackfire is put under her control!

The gem swings.
Blackfire watches.
Her will vanishes.

"When I say Under, you will accept given commands. When I say Awake, you will return to normal, unaware your programming. Say 'Yes, Doctor' if you understand."
"Yes, Doctor."
"Under."

The Tamaranean's eyes glaze over as she's fully under.

"Tell me about the last time you were in bondage and captivity."
"A group of Scientists took me from custody and experimented with ways to keep me powerless and under observation. They were thorough and very effective."

"Did you escape?"
"No, I was freed by the Heroes of Earth. Many Aliens like me were captured, including their companions and we were all freed."
"What did you do when they freed you?"
"I fled and planned revenge."

Dr. Thompson scoffs. 'Some courtesy.'

"You will not think of me as your captor, programmer or someone studying you. I am your Mistress and you will not ever think of revenge. Say 'Yes, Doctor.'"
"Yes, Doctor."
"As an alien combatant, you have been captured many times, yes?"
"Yes, Doctor."
"Are there rules to this?"
"If you are taken by a superior being, you must submit to demands made by them. You belong to them."
"You were taken by me, a superior being. If you agree, say 'Yes, Doctor.'"
"Yes, Doctor."

A pause.
'Let's try this.'

"Awake."
Blackfire's eyes flutter as she regains clarity and wakes up from the hypnosis.

With a resigned sigh, she puts her hands behind her back and gets on her knees.
