Last Chapter Recap: "There's no greater moment than when a prisoner finally stops resisting and spills the beans!" Adam said with a smile.
NOW
"You're pretty screwed up in the head," Natasha said.
"Ah, what a tragedy," Adam shook his head. "Another soul who doesn't appreciate my high art!"
'Of course, this is all an act. Interrogation? That's for children to play. Hah.'
"Ah, is that so?" Natasha said. "Well, it's not my business what you do in your free time, so if you'd excuse me..."
"Wait, wait, wait, ensign!" Adam stopped Natasha from walking away. "Are you perhaps free right now?"
"You're not going to test this wicked stuff on me," Natasha asked, doubt in her voice.
"Huh?" Adam said. "Who said anything about testing?"
"Ah, sorry," Natasha said. "You were so into it, I thought... you know..."
"Geez. I do know how to moderate myself, Ensign," Adam shook his head. "I just need help carrying some heavy equipment from my room."
"Just that?" Natasha said with a smile. "That's no problem, I was pretty bored anyway."
"Ohh, you're a godsend, Ensign!" Adam said, grateful.
After some time.
"Phew!" Adam sighed in relief.
'It took us some time, but finally, all of my equipment is finally in place. All I need to do is set things up and connect to the energy supply.'
"I'm pretty sure," Natasha asked, "the previous intelligence officer didn't have so much luggage."
"Hmprh," Adam muttered. "Maybe he didn't appreciate the joy of proper interrogation."
"…" Natasha.
"I know," Adam shook his head. "When we get our first prisoner, you can stand right—"
"Nah," Natasha said, "I'm no good with this stuff."
"A shame," Adam said dramatically, shaking his head.
"You're not going to use this stuff on one of us, are you?" Natasha asked, doubt in her voice.
"Of course not!" Adam said. "To use this machine, I need permission from Dr. Ivanna and Commander Heidi to properly function...," he shook his head. "Without it, it's just a tool for lame BDSM play."
"That's a relief," Natasha said, smiling as she left.
'Heh with this, my secret should be safe for some time… and even if one of the other bitches finds this place, I have a story and witness.'
'Now then, I can finally get to the finishing touches… this is the most fun part. Ha ha… hahahahaha!'
Adam room
"Phew. I am beat."
I am still tired after yesterday's battle. Plus, setting up all of my equipment. But that part was also a pleasure.
Fortunately, everyone seems still besotted with our princess. I didn't hear any complain from that Heidi bitch all day… maybe my luck is finally- Before Adam could finish his thought, Heidi's voice crackled through the comms, cutting off the sudden silence.
"Ensign Black, do you copy?" Heidi asked in comms.
'Ugh.'
"I hear you, Commander," Adam answered.
"Please report to the infirmary as soon as possible. Captain's orders," Heidi said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Adam responded.
"Infirmary? What could they need of me… no, at least it's not another battle," Adam muttered to himself as he made his way to the medical bay.
Medical Bay
"Ensign Black reporting," Adam said after entering the infirmary.
"At ease, Ensign," Dr. Ivanna said. "Please sit down, I still need to do some preparation."
'I see nothing out of the ordinary in this room, and it still smells of medicine and doctor's perfume. And It's only Dr. Ivanna... what can she want from me?' Adam thought to himself.
"Umm, doctor…" Adam muttered, looking confused.
"Yes?" Ivanna turned to Adam. "Before we start, I need you to answer some basic questions. Ready?"
"Uh... okay," Adam replied.
Dr. Ivanna asked some questions about some medicine I'd contracted with before I said yes and started to explain—some blah blah blah.
"Is that so..." Ivanna said. "I guess I'll modify the composition a little then, just in case."
"Uh? Doctor, by composition, you mean...?" Adam asked, clearly confused. "I kind of don't know what we're really talking about."
"Did you forget?" Ivanna asked. "Your stimulant, of course, it's delayed a little."
'Geh, I did forget! Fuck, this is a major mishap… I should've researched that 'stimulant' of theirs.'
