Onto Jo Grant!

“Input sufficient,” the Judge said.

Painfully slowly, Yasmin was returned to her spot in the jury, where she squealed and resumed trying vainly to hide behind her arms, shaking. There was no forgetting that she’d still just been exposed to everyone.

Before she could focus, there was another scream from elsewhere as the light picked its next target remarkably quickly. A blonde with extraordinarily wide, panicked eyes and by the sound of it a propensity for panicked screaming was lifted out, her arms moved to her sides as she was bared before the courtroom.

“Josephine Grant,” the Judge said. “Let us continue. Tell us about a time you were naked.”

“D-do I have to?” Jo squeaked.

The beam of light, and whatever technology in it that plucked the truth from everyone’s lips, flashed brighter.

“I-it was in my days at UNIT. The early days, when the Doctor was marooned on Earth, and I was his assistant. Another Time Lord, called the Master, seemed to be showing up every other week and the Doctor and he were constantly going up against each other.

I remember one of those times, the Doctor had stolen a piece out of the Master’s TARDIS. It didn’t look like much, but without it the Master was trapped on Earth. Obviously, then, he tried to keep it safe, even while he was trying to figure out some way to make it work with his – less advanced – TARDIS, so he could get off the Earth.

The Master tried to get it back a few times. He eventually did, but before all that, h-he…

The Master was a very dangerous Time Lord; he could hypnotise people with just a few words and a bit of eye contact, and the Doctor was trying to teach me how to resist it but I wasn’t paying too much attention back then.

He needed to get into the Doctor’s lab, which meant finding some way to get past all the UNIT soldiers. His usual fondness for disguises wouldn’t have gotten past all UNIT’s security, so I assume he thought distracting them all would work, s-so, um… I met him when I was grocery shopping. I don’t know how he found me, but suddenly he was right there, right in front of me.

I didn’t call for help. I didn’t know what else anyone could do, not with him. He was pointing that stubby little thing at me, the Doctor called it a Tissue Compression Eliminator, and I’d seen what it could do.

I only remember a little of what he said. While I bit my lip to keep from making a noise and drawing anyone who came to investigate to their deaths, he looked me right in the eyes.

“I am the Master, and you will obey me,” he said. He always seemed to say that.

The rest is a bit of a blur. If I try to think of what he said after that, it’s hazy, but what I did… I can’t forget that, no matter how hard I try.

I went right to UNIT afterwards, like normal. I did work there after all. I checked in, showed my ID, answered a few security questions… Then when they were searching to make sure I wasn’t smuggling anything in or out, I-I… I started taking my clothes off.

It took a few seconds for them to realise. I think they just thought I was helping them search, but then I kept…

There was nothing I could do to stop myself. First I took off my shirt, neatly folding it up and handing it over, and then my b-bra, and I didn’t even try to cross my arms, I just lost it and k-kept going.

He didn’t try to stop me. I think he was just shocked. And then I was losing my trousers too, I took off my underwear at the same time, a-and I couldn’t even keep my shoes.

I couldn’t stop myself. I couldn’t help anything, I just stripped naked and walked into the base. I could feel the soldiers staring at my b-bum as I walked past, and there were yet more people in the corridor once I kept going. They saw e-everything. Everything.

I wasn’t the only woman working at UNIT HQ in those days, but I was definitely in a minority, so of course they all wanted to stare once word got around I was nude that day. I wanted to cover up, to shout for help, or even just whimper, but I couldn’t, I could just obey the commands the Master had hypnotically given me.

He must’ve tried to sneak into the Doctor’s lab while the base was distracted by me. I remember a report of a break-in, but nothing was taken. The Doctor kept the circuit with him at all times. I don’t know if it’s better or worse that my humiliation was for nothing.

But at the time… I didn’t know how much longer it would go on for. I just knew I was going around the Doctor’s lab, tidying the desks after the cluttered mess he always left it in, standing over the tables to put things away or bending over and getting on all-fours to reach for things underneath.

There were always people outside. I recognised a few of the faces, Mike and John and a lot of my coworkers, some were standing and staring though those I knew just took every excuse they could to walk down the hallway.

If the Master wanted a distraction, he’d managed it. Almost everyone on the base was right outside whatever room I was in.

And I knew that I might end up doing anything. I didn’t know exactly what the Master had told me to do, and I doubted it would be as simple as work naked, but I hoped that would be all. I didn’t know how I’d look anyone in the eye after they’d seen me in so little, I couldn’t bear the idea of being humiliated even more.

The Doctor wasn’t there that day. Even now I’m not sure if that was a blessing or a curse; him seeing me n-naked would have been mortifying, but I like to think he’d have been able to help me before things got even worse. Instead I-I…

I’d been working nude for several hours when the Brigadier came down to see what all the fuss was about. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I saw him in the doorway, moustache bristling, lost for words as he saw m-my- saw me naked.

I couldn’t even cover up. Instead, when he approached to ask me what the hell was going on, I-”

(Jo whimpers)

“I started dancing. I couldn’t help myself. I moved like I wanted to flaunt my body, not cover it up, and the worst part was everyone was still outside. They thought this would be the last they’d see, or they wanted to see what the Brigadier would do, either way they could still see me. I thought I’d been exposed before, but it just got worse.

I don’t know how long that happened before, just that my cheeks felt like they were on fire, and that I’d never moved like that before.

The Brigadier left quickly. He clearly knew something was wrong, and he had enough respect for me to not just stand there and stare, b-but… But I followed him, out into the crowded hallway, surrounded by soldiers, still naked, still dancing for them.

I didn’t get control of myself back for hours. Them, I just screamed and ran in a panic into the nearest empty lab and curled up under a table, shaking, until someone brought me a spare uniform.

But I always knew everyone had s-seen me without that uniform, every day I went back there. Even the Brigadier.

I promise you, I paid much more attention to the Doctor’s anti-hypnosis lessons after that.”

Jo flushed scarlet, lip trembling as she recounted her mortifying experience, while undergoing a similar embarrassing ordeal as she was suspended in front of the nude courtroom.

The Judoon has departed by then, leaving the room filled with the metallic block of the Judge, and then exclusively nude women. It didn’t make her feel any better about having her tits exposed again.

Out on the jury benches, Missy was smiling proudly to herself.

“I’d forgotten I did that,” she murmured. “Ah, memories.”

A blonde, slightly curvy woman beside her turned, eyes going wide, suddenly seeming even more nervous as if standing there with a hand over tits spilling out and another seeming inadequate held between her thighs wasn’t a bad enough situation.

“That was you?” she said, in a faintly posh English accent. “I thought she said the Master was a guy.”

“Time Lady, sweetie, nothing’s set in stone,” Missy said. “Who are you, anyway? I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure.”

“Ch-Charley,” the blonde stammered. “Did you really…”

“Why, want to see what it’s like?” Missy said. Something in her eye glinted; Charley stumbled over her own feet to try and put a few more women between her and the beaming Time Lady.

Just then, the Judge started talking. Nervously, everyone waited to see what it had to say.
