Reluctantly, After Some Convincing

”Is this REALLY necessary? I’m genuinely asking.” You ask Nathan. He nods in confirmation.

“Yes. We use fingerprint confirmation for everything here from food and water rations to safety and security to health checks, to making sure you are out in time for your scheduled activities. Your only other option is that we put you in the Isolation Center until you agree.” Nathan responds. You sigh, knowing that won’t do anyone- you or them- any good.

“Fine. Take it.” You hold out your hand and lift up your right pointer finger. He applies it to the pad and it instantly scans your fingerprint on the computer screen.

“Fingerprint Scan Confirmed. Identity Check Completed. Emily Moore. Current Involvement- Leader of Girls. Target Priority- 10 out of 10. Congratulations. Goal Achieved.” The computer says out loud in a robotic voice.

“Wow, that makes me feel special.” You say half sarcastically, half sassily. Nathan chuckles. He clicks a couple buttons on the computer screen, as you sit there calmly, behaving properly. You know the door behind you is locked so there’s no point in running, and you know fighting anyone in here is only going to cause problems that aren’t worth the hassle. You just sit patiently and quietly while you wait for him to finish doing what he needs to do on the computer.

“Okay, now that that part of the inspection is done, I need you to remove your clothes so we can ensure no contraband enters the facility.” Nathan says. You look confused.

“You can’t just do a pat down or something?” You ask, once again feeling like your privacy is being invaded. He shakes his head.

“No, we don’t want you trying to sneak anything in underneath your clothing or inside any crevices in your body. The best I can do is allow you to keep your undergarments on, but I would still need to pat down the insides of them to ensure you aren’t hiding anything.” He responds. You have a look on your face that’s slightly offended.

“What if I did the opposite? Let’s be honest if I put something between my boobs it wouldn’t stay without my bra holding it, and my skirt can’t hold anything either since it’s completely open ended. If I just took my panties and bra off and you could see that I wasn’t hiding anything anywhere, would that be good enough for you? I was just going for a run. I don’t have literally anything with me except for my phone.” You explain to him. He clicks a couple of buttons on the computer, as if researching something or looking something up, but your face still appears on the screen in the corner.

“Fine then. If that is what you prefer. I can accept that as an alternative solution if you’d like.” He agrees, nodding. You take off your bra and panties leaving your shirt and skirt on to protect at least a little bit of your dignity and modesty. Even if the act of handing a boy your panties and bra to go through a security check is a bit embarrassing, at least you still get to keep your actual clothes on. You also hand him your phone for honesty and as good will for agreeing to the compromise, which he takes and passes through the scanner as well, before nodding.

“Anything else you need Nathan?” You ask him calmly, making sure whatever he needs done is addressed so you can move on.

“I think that’s all I need at this station. Thank you very much.” He unlocks the door leading further into the facility as you have passed this checkpoint. You walk through the next door and see another boy, taking your bra, panties and phone out of the scanned boxes, confiscating them. You look curiously.

“Um… Hello? Those are mine.” You say approaching him cautiously. The boy chuckles.

“We know Emily. You won’t be needing these while you’re here. These will be ours until we are ready for you to leave.” He says calmly.

“That’s my underwear! You can’t just!” He cuts you off as he nods.

“Female Undergarments are considered Contraband and illegal possessions in the boys facility. Obviously your phone is a given as well of course.” You instantly react angrily.

“So what am I supposed to have on to protect my girl parts!” You panic, you were expecting to simply be able to put them back on upon entering the next room, but nope.

“Well, nothing obviously. You’re lucky Nathan even let you keep your shirt and skirt. You found a loophole there.” The boy says, as he takes your undergarments into the boys facility to who knows where and what room. Wherever they keep supposed contraband, you theorize. A couple minutes later the same boy returns to the room.

“Okay Emily, this is the question and answer part of your entrance exam. You can choose to skip the whole exam, or any questions individually you wish not to answer, but the more that you answer the more cooperative you will appear in our records.” You nod in understanding.
