Forces the family to strip on their own

(originally authored by Snoogins)

As her family rose from the slabs and made their way to her side, Susan looked into Lil's black, glassy eyes and pleaded.

"Why? Why are you doing this to us!?"

Distracted by the process of controlling three human bodies at once, Lil gave Susan a halfhearted answer. "Because I have to."

"But why?!" Susan continued to question, pleadingly.

When the humans were lined up to her satisfaction, Lil gave a more complete answer. "Because if I don't do this, I'll fail my class, that's why."

"Your... your class?" Susan gasped. "You mean this is all some kind of high school science project to you?"

"It's not something to trivialize." Lil replied honestly. "If I don't perform to my instructor's satisfaction, I will inevitably fail this class. Not only would that lower my overall grade, but I'd only have to take the class over again later, with some other family of humans just like you and yours waiting to be experimented on. If I keep failing this class, I'll flunk out altogether, and how in the universe am I supposed to get a job then, hmm? I'm not an insensitive creature, but you ARE a lower life form, and I much prefer the loss of your life to the loss of my future career."

"You mean you're going to kill us!?" Susan cried, tears welling up in her eyes now.

"Yes, I'm afraid... well, maybe not all of you. We do need to do two dissections at least. One male, one female. You're family has two of each, but there s a significant age gap. I'm sure it would be educational to weigh the internal differences of mature adult humans and their younger offspring, but if you prove yourselves cooperative and docile, we might be able to save two of you."

"You mean they'll be returned to Earth alive?"

"Well... probably not. Sometimes we do return humans to Earth with tracking implants to gather data about their lives, but this isn't a major science expedition of that sort. We're more... like you said, we're on a school trip. Any compliant survivors are usually sold on the open Galactic Markets. Oh, please don't cry! I'm trying to help you here! I know that doesn't sound pleasant, but it's better than being dissected, trust me. If you get your loved ones to cooperate, it will help you all immensely! I'm going to free them from control now, please, talk to them and convince them that obedience is the best way to go."

Susan looked from side to side and watched as her family regained control of their bodies. There was the expected momentary confusion, followed by futile panic. Futile, because each family member was standing within their own beam of light, and as each one soon realized, the borders of those columns represented the edge of their freedom of movement. After a few moments of pressing on the **** fields and banging the walls in futility, Roger, Justin and Hailey finally simmered down only when Susan rose up on her bare feet and yelled at them to stop. When there was silence, Susan made her plea.

"Roger, Justin, Hailey, listen to me. I know you're all scared now, but we're all captives here on an alien space ship. They can control our bodies if they want to. There's no way to fight back. They want to do some experiments on us. They say if we cooperate and do everything they ask, they might let two of us live."

"Only two!?" Hailey yelped.

"They said they need to... to dissect two of us... a male and a female. Oh please, sweeties, just do what they say! It's the only way!"

"Susan!" Roger shouted commandingly. "You tell these monsters to let us out of here right now! You tell them, we're not going to play their games! They can either let us go, or we'll fight to th..." And just like that, Roger was paralyzed again. As the rest of the family watched in astonishment, Roger stripped himself, just as Susan had, and when he was fully nude, the **** field around him dissolved, and he began doing jumping jacks. The Summers family watched in mute astonishment as their proud patriarch's impressive manhood flopped up and down comically, and this went on for several seconds before Lil stepped forward to address the Summers children.

"And that's what happens when you disobey I'm afraid. I don't think daddy is going to be making it out of here alive, and I'm sure your mother will be willing to sacrifice herself on your behalves. That means that those two spots, those two opportunities for survival could be yours if you just do as I say. Do you understand? Listen to your mother, children. Trust me, it's for the best."

Tearfully, Susan, still covering her own nakedness with her hands, looked towards her children and nodded desperately. "Do what she says sweethearts... it's the only way."

"What... what do you want us to do?" Justin asked.

"Well, for starters..." Lil began. "Strip. Take off all of your clothes and throw them out of the lighted area. You won't be able to pass through, but your clothes will. That will be a good sign of obedience on your part. Do that, and I'll take down the **** fields, but remember, free will is a privilege I am extending to you. **** that privilege, and you'll end up like your father."
