Chapter One: Arrival
'So there's the plan. Any questions?' Asked Polly as she looked at the other three. The large set woman with greasy black hair was sitting at the head of the table in the mess area of their small long distance craft.
'Yeah. This is crazy! Of course we'll get caught doing this!' replied Kate. Polly sighed before replying to the small feisty brunette.
'That wasn't a question and you signed up for it!'
'I signed up to protect our planet not go on some stupid spy op bs'
'This group has conquered three planets in the last year alone and there aren't many planets left between us and them. We've got to do something!'
'Yes but going to their home world seems like a futile attempt!'
'It's the only place where we could potentially get a cure and reverse the effects. Also it's the only place they let women visit without forcing them to become Fuckslaves.' The word made them all shiver slightly.
'Yeah about that.' Said Emily. The redhead gave Polly a tired look. She was medium height and quite pretty but stick thin with no figure 'I read the detailed mission report and it says they'll expect, and I'm quoting here 'A willing female sacrifice' on arrival to the planet. Just who are you intending to give them?' all eyes were on Polly who looked at Kagney. The quiet blonde at the over end of the table simply gave a curt nod before lowering her eyes. She had dirty mousy hair and not much going for her.
'You can't be serious Kagney!' Kate yelled.
'There's no other way.' She Muttered quietly
'Wait, how long have you known about this?' asked Emily.
'Since our training.'
'That was months ago!'
'She was the most resilient to the stimulation simulations we all did.' Said Polly. 'Most likely to be able to hold it together.'
'Then once we've found the cure I can be changed back. It should only be my body that's affected.' Continued Kagney
'I don't like this.' Declared Kate
'Me neither.' Emily agreed.
'Well get used to it! Hopefully once Kagney's been through the process they'll release her to us again and we can keep an eye on her.'
They argued a bit longer before Kate and Emily finally conceded.
Two days later the planet loomed before them and a voice came through the radio.
'Shuttle 33-B-2. What is your purpose here?' came the crackling tone
'Tourism' replied Polly and there was silence for a moment.
'Proceed to the following coordinates and please present yourselves straight away. Have your sacrifice ready' The radio signed off and they looked at each other.
'Guess I ought to wear something loose fitting' Joked Kagney, trying to lighten the mood with little success.
They docked swiftly and lowered the door to their craft where three men were waiting. They looked unimpressed with the four women who descended the ramp toward them. They took names and ran a strange scanner over each of them wordlessly.
'Who's the sacrifice?' one said eventually.
'Will we get them back afterwards?' Polly said quickly before Kagney could step forward.
'Your friend will not be the same after but we can organise to have them sent for you to use afterwards if you want. Now who is it?'
'That would be me' Kagney said in a small voice. She was wearing loose fitting joggers and a matching tank top. She had opted not to wear underwear. The guard glanced at her and then back to his scanner. Eventually he looked at her again.
'Well if you're sure. Take her to chamber 923.' He said to the other men who escorted Kagney away.
The others watched fearing for their friend.
'Is there a reason you're still here?' The man asked them. 'Here's a hotel address if you need one.' They thanked him and headed toward the hotel.
Kagney could feel herself shivering. She was more scared than she'd expected to be. She had to do this to help all the other women out there.
After a few corridors and a lift they stopped outside a room, opened the door and pushed Kagney in. It was white with nothing in it. A door opened at the other end and a woman in a lab coat came through with a clipboard. She looked remarkably good. Kagney swallowed.
'Kagney yes?'
'Um Yeah.' The woman marked something on her clipboard and pushed an invisible button on the wall. A relaxer chair rose from the floor.
'Have a seat.' She said. Kagney was unsure but did so anyway. She leant back in the chair. It was really comfortable but there was a strange humming around the base of her skull.
'So you've volunteered?'
