I had this wild idea to break a gunner commander by ravishing her in front of her squad of gorgeous, pouting, soldier girls. I couldn't find anywhere suitable spot to do the deed, so I hit upon the idea of building a stage, suitable for an occasional spot of ceremonial rape and humiliation. In the process, I managed to lose one of captives as well as a highly valued long-term slave of my own, travel halfway across the map to get them back, collar and impregnate a couple of raiders to fill out a vacancy in the Sunshine Tidings Co-Operative Breedery, collect the Commander's PA from Mass Pike Interchamge, and still make it back will all slaves accounted for.

 

So now maybe I can get on with the main event? Not before I a bit more building it seems. For one thing, I had her pillory facing the wrong way:

 

 

That way around, she can't see the faces of her troops, and they can't see hers. Where's the fun in that? I want her to be able to see the faces of her troops. I want her to see who is looks on her with sympathy, who with contempt. I want her to see who tries to stare her down and who can't meet her eyes. And I want them to be able to see her. I want them to search her face for any sign of weakness, or worse, any sign of pleasure.

 

So I turned he pillory around and since I needed some temporary storage for the commander, I added another vertical rig at the opposite end of the stage. She can wait there while I work on her accommodation.

 

 

OK, those chains are set a bit lower than for the troops. I'll fix that later.

 

As you can see, I also hung some flags with the Raider Reform School crest. I figured we might as well proclaim who we were. Make sure they remember who did this to them, that sort of thing. I end up hanging two flags on a wall behind the orbital gantry, and then a couple more, furled, flanking the pillory.

 

This is how it ended up.

 

 

Then I spend a chunk of time building catwalks behind the wall so I could run power for the lights that will make those flags visible in the dark. It's a busy time.

 

I also set up a PA station on the edge of the water farm enclosure. I docker the Commander's discarded PA there and spent a little time fixing it up and painting it.

 

 

Once I get that pillory turned round, she's going to see it every time she raises her head. I want it to taunt her, salvation forever just out of reach, a mocking reminder of who she used to be and is no longer.

 

We've just got time to look in on the commander and see how she's enjoying her billet.

 

 

 

 

 

That all seems to be in order.

 

Oh, yes the suit. Pretty much the last thing on my ""

 

One last thing to do. I get changed from my usual Mad Science load out...

 

 

... to my high Charisma outfit:

 

 

Whatever happens here, tonight, I want it to be authoritative.

 

And on that note, I'll call an end to this installment. Next time we'll wrap the tale up for good.
