Liara T Soni

“Liara?!” Ashley yelped. “What’s going on? W-what… why am I naked?”

Liara smiled. “Don’t be so afraid, Ash. You had a few too many drinks,” she said. “In fact, you came stumbling into my office already naked. I did you the courtesy of bringing you back to my apartment. I am very much aware of your liquor and how well you hold it, and that is not at all.”

Ashley nodded rubbing her head. “So… what exactly happened?”

“Well… based on my… observations… you started at eternity. My father, Aethyta, was serving you drinks on the tab. Either you drank too many or you ended up purchasing something not intended for humans because you then were very… out of it. You began throwing your clothes off, yelling about how you and I quote “want to fuck a hanar and asari at the same time.” And then you passed out. My father took you to one of the cool off zones, but they needed to test to make sure you weren’t dying, so they had to decontaminate you, hence the bareness of your body,” Liara said.

“Great, so I made a fool of myself… where are my clothes? I can put them on and then leave this place before I embarrass myself further,” Ashley said.

“About that… you’re not going anywhere,” Liara said. “You in your drunk state at some point also signed a contract…. A contract which is legal and binding on Illium. Shall I read it for you?”

Ashley gasped knowing the types of contracts on Illium. “Read me the damage, captain,” Ashley said.

“5 years,” Liara said.

“Why so long?” Ashley asked.

“This is an asari based world, Ash. 5 years is nothing for them,” Liara said. “The contract says you are prohibited from wearing clothes or anything else that may hide your intimate areas. In your case that is your boobs, butt, and vagina. You must also service the owner/contract holder for the span of the full contract or die.”

“And who exactly is the contract holder?” Ashley asked.
