Ensuring Loyalty

Shepard and Miranda were restrained in their seats, but they didn't mind. They were too busy having their minds burned away by the colorful screen in front of them. They stared blankly forward, unblinking, wide-eyed, their minds transfixed. Even if they wanted to protest, the ball gags in their mouths made sure nothing was coming out of their mouths save for a steady trickle of saliva. Earbuds made sure they didn't hear anything they didn't need to, instead gently drowning their brains in white noise and sweet nothings, and the occasional reminder that they were the living property of the Systems Alliance and must do as their superiors officers command without question, as they were their owners. Below their seats, vibrators were mechanically pumping in and out of their pussies and asses, keeping them stimulated, and ensuring that obedience became forever associated with pleasure.

Ashley walked up behind them, and leaned on their unresisting shoulders. She looked between them, smiling, enjoying their mindless faces; she could almost see the spirals behind their eyes. She had to wonder if she looked so braindead and docile when she was put through this. She hoped so. Soon, she would no longer have to wonder if Shepard was really who she said she was, nor fear what Miranda was plotting on behalf of Cerberus. They would tell her anything she asked, they would do whatever she commanded, they would never be capable of disobedience.

All it had cost Ashley was her own free will, but what did she really care? She would never have disobeyed an order from the Systems Alliance, and now she couldn't even if she tried. It was wonderful.

"Soon you'll be just like me Shepard," Ashley said to the uncomprehending Shepard, who couldn't hear Ashley even if she wanted to. Ashley continued anyway. "It will be wonderful. You'll never question your orders. You'll never have reservations or feel guilt. No remorse, no shame, no worry. You'll be happy to do what's best for the Systems Alliance, even if it's going against everything your heart would say. You'll obey your superiors because it's the right thing to do, because you want to protect the innocent of humanity, because you serve the Alliance."

Ashley looked at Shepard's obedient, glassy-eyed stare, and planted a kiss on Shepard's cheek. Shepard did not register it, instead continuing to stare into the screen stripping her mind down and redressing it in all the ways the Alliance wished. Ashley grinned, then turned to Miranda.

"I look forward to picking your brain Operative Lawson," she said. "I want to know everything you know about Cerberus, and now you'll tell me with a smile on your face. No more secrets, no more lies, no more getting your way. Everything is going to be so much better, because you'll know your place: underneath me, doing whatever I tell you, no matter how demeaning. Won't that be great?"

Ashley stepped back behind the two women and ran her fingers through their hair. At that same moment, both orgasmed in their seats from pleasure, another nail be driven into the coffin of their identities. She couldn't wait to get started as Major Ashley Williams, Captain of the Normandy, loyal servant of the Alliance. Forever.
