"Are you ok? It looked like you stopped breathing there for a while?" Cain asked. Less than a minute later Sophie heard the gate groan as Cain pulled it open, the lock no longer holding them up. Clearing her mind, Sophie said she was fine, it shocked her that there was a gate here.
Letting her go Cain held up the lock picks, two small pieces of metal, "Tada," Cain said waving the lock picks. "This is our key for this and any other lock we may come across. Well done on shooting the camera, we can approach now undetected."
Sophie was so excited at being praised for shooting the camera, she threw her arms around Cain, pulling him up for a kiss. Sophie’s tongue forced its way passed Cain’s lips and playfully stabbed his tongue. Cain shocked but responded when Sophie’s tongue played with his. They stayed kissing for less than twenty seconds, when they broke, both were breathing heavily. Cain had to rearrange his combat trousers.
"OK, time to move," said Cain as he crouched to enter the tunnel through the gate, his sudden growth was uncomfortable even though he had rearranged his trousers. They climbed over a small two foot rise which put them in a new tunnel, a spotless tunnel, the water, moss and growths one normally came across were absent.
Roughly two-thirds of the way in they came across a set of stairs on the left of the tunnel. There was a camera covering the stairs, Sophie destroyed it in two shots. Cain told her her aim was getting much better. Taking care Cain went up them, ending on a platform, then another four steps stair. Reaching the top, he came across a matching pair of stairs from another tunnel joining the platform. Ignoring them he walked across the platform and into the tunnel.
"Let’s see where this goes," Cain said. He also sent a party message telling Toni to wait for ten minutes while they checked out another tunnel. This tunnel was bone dry too and larger than the one they started in. Nearly running to the end, Cain came to a door at the end of the tunnel.
Using his now worn lock picks, Cain sprung the lock, entering a well-equipped room. One wall had an empty weapons rack, another a bank of monitors the third and opposite to their entrance door was another door which was closed. Sophie turned on the monitors and sat at the operator’s chair.
"This must be the control room for the county fairground," Sophie said. "The CCTV system should show us the three-person ambush party." Using the control system, Sophie scrolled through the camera feeds eventually finding one that showed the three people on the roof overlooking a seating area.
Cain pulled up his area map, zooming in to a closer level; it surprised him to see they were less than ten yards behind the people. Using the party chat Cain informed Toni where they were and ready to go. To which Toni replied, duh, I can see your location id markers. Firing in 5… 4…
"I hope Natasha remembers we need to save one of these ambushers," Sophie said to Cain who nodded in agreement as he opened the door to the fairground security building. Keeping a close eye on the map, Cain noticed one of the red icons flashed then went out. Cain whispered map to Sophie as they moved near the remaining two.
Once in position, they didn’t have to wait long before Toni killed the second of the ambushers. The third icon moved, back towards the edge of the roof from where it had been. Falling to the floor as a shot ricocheted from the roof, the person spun around, turning into the butt of Cain’s G3. It didn’t do much damage apart from knocking the player out.
"Oh, they are using a glamour to hide their identity. Natasha is on her way; shall I go meet her halfway?" Sophie asked.
"No, don’t worry, she’ll just run across the highways, it’s not like they are full of traffic, nor is she hiding like we did. You can loot the two dead players up on the roof, if you’d like," Cain replied as he continued to tie up the last of the ambushers. Taking a cloth to the players face the glamour spell came apart.
The players game tag informed Cain that she was a level sixteen Cleric, called Elise McPherson. There trussed like a Thanksgiving turkey, sat one of the most beautiful women Cain had ever seen. Inspecting her, he noticed she had a look of Toni about her, but the glamour was distorting her face. Without stripping her down, it was obvious this woman had larger breasts and a narrower waist, even under the camouflage gear she was wearing. The main difference was Elise had a deep auburn hair, not a natural colour, a bright auburn, almost fluorescent. Where Toni had a nice deep purple.
"Natasha will not like this, not one bit," Cain said to Sophie, "You will by the appraising look you’re giving her, but Natasha will not."
"What wouldn’t I like?" Toni shouted as she ran down the steps into another control room. "What am I not going to like? Joseph, answer me, please, honey." Toni nearly shouted. Reaching Cain and Sophie, who were both standing, making a barrier of sorts between Toni and the remaining ambusher.
"There is something funny going on here, my love. We need to find out before we deal with this woman," Cain said with Sophie nodding her head beside him.
OK, Rahab, what is going on, what can you see or hear, Toni asked Rahab
[I can hear the captive has a heightened breathing and heart rate. Cain is the same steady as a rock. Sophie has a slightly higher than a normal set of figures. That is all I can tell you.] Replied Rahab.
"OK, you’ve got me wondering now Joseph, not even you know everything. So, come on, have you found another woman to replace me. I thought you liked, no sorry loved me. Surely you haven’t changed your mind?" Toni joked as she reached Cain, giving him a huge kiss. He responded by pulling her in tight then whispering in her ear.
"I love you, Natasha, even though I know you have not told me everything about yourself. I love you irrespective of those omissions. I would readily choose you for all eternity even if you don't choose me." Cain whispered. Relaxing into his kiss, his words making her heart and mind sing with feelings she never experienced before.
"OK, show me," Toni said, as Cain and Sophie stepped aside. Doing a double take, looking at the bound and gagged woman. Toni looked down at her seated form and back up at Cain,
"What the fuck, why, who? For what reason? Why not the purple hair too?" Toni spurted out.
"I think we need to take our time answering this player, we need to know everything they can tell us. Then you may kill or damage her when we leave. But no killing like the last one. No knife to the head like poor Speedy Pete, OK," Cain said and held Toni’s gaze and hand.
Toni repeated the oath looking back at him, clasping his hand tight. At the end she added she had only eyes for him and with a wicked grin on her face added Dr Emily.
Chapter 20
An Unpleasant Truth
As they frog-marched the player, Elise McPherson to the fairground control room, Cain agreed that Toni and Sophie could begin the interrogation. Closing the door behind them, Cain watched silently as Sophie and Toni unbound the woman. Sophie warned Elise that if she so much as spoke or twitched funny, the knife would slice easily through her pretty throat.
With a combat knife held to Elise’s throat, Toni stripped her out of her clothing. It did not take long for Elise to be naked, Sophie guided her to the operator’s chair where Toni fastened her securely. Once secure Toni looked over Elise’s body, inspecting it closely.
"There," Toni pointed to just below Elise’s navel, "see those four little freckles that look like an arrow pointing down to her vagina? I have exactly the same four." Toni added.
Pulling down her own trousers enough to show the freckles, she had Sophie check the placement of Toni’s freckles and compared them to Elise’s.
"Yeah, sure look the same, just imagine her in the shower Joseph, what do you think" replied Sophie with a laugh in her voice.
"Well, what does that prove, that we’ve matching freckles. When my clan finds you, I will make sure they cut those bloody freckles from you, permanently. You are nothing but a cheap whore and limp dick’s frigid, no, only kissing allowed girlfriend. My boss wants to know can you even get it up yet, Joseph? He tried and tried but she always shut her box up tighter than a Scotsman’s sp
orran," Elise spat out.
{Cain, I was reviewing the game code and noticed the building you are in has a Faraday cage built into the wall, floor and ceiling. To activate it there is a switch to the left of the control panel for the CCTV system. It uses a key to active it.} Enoch told Cain
So, no key but a combat knife will easily work. Cain pulled his combat knife and jammed the point into the key slot. Applying a reasonable measure of force the lock mechanism snapped and turned the Faraday cage on.
"I do not know Emily do you Toni? Me thinks there is shielding on this control bunker. We can say and do anything we want, nobody will know. We can eliminate Elise here and she would just disappear. Do you think she will re-spawn if she dies in a Faraday cage?" Cain said.
Sending a message on the party chat, Cain told them he thought Jason, had to have carried out a full body scan of Toni that time she could not remember. When somebody had placed her thong on back to front. We already know he has a fixation on you. This kind of proves it. Cain finished.
"So now you have told me everything I wanted to know, what are we going to do with you? And people watching through a game feed, will not know what you have said." Sophie watched as different emotions played over Elise’s face as she processed what Toni just said.
"Yes, Elise, you told me everything without me having to even torture you," Toni added. The look of surprise washed all emotions from Elise’s face.
"How? I’ve told you nothing. Not how they contacted me, paid me to join their clan or why the clan now wants to kill Jacob and Natasha and anyone else in their party. I have told you nothing, torture away then I can re-spawn in the Star Casino." Elise nearly shouted, tears rolling down her face.
"Are you playing up for the game cameras? Do you think many people will stream the action the game servers provide? What do you think Dr Emily? Would you pay to watch what we will do to this naked and helpless woman?" Toni asked
Rahab, do you know how many people are streaming the various feeds from this game zone? Toni asked
[Yes two point six billion people are watching the various game feeds. There are slightly over fifty thousand watching the game feed. ‘Naked woman in Peril.’ The game EI that selects the game camera feeds, it has recently played yours, it is on a twenty-second delay, you have just finished stripping Elise.] Rahab replied.
Toni quickly messaged Cain and Sophie with what Rahab told her. So how do you think we can get the information we need, without harming Elise? Cain asked. Sophie said to watch and learn.
"Can I?" Sophie asked Toni as she moved in front of Elise. Nodding Toni went to stand with Cain and held his hand. "So, Elise, you have told us nearly everything we need to know. But there are still three questions I need answering. Will, you be a good player and tell all? Or are the game cameras going to record me slowly stripping you?" Sophie said.
"Ha, you must be limp in the mind like a limp dick Jacob over there. You already stripped me you snivelling retard," Elise replied and laughed.
"Does this look sharp enough to you? Jacob. Could you shave with this?" Sophie innocently asked all the while looking into Elise’s eyes. Then thrust the knife downwards ripping it into the leather covering of the seat arm, near Elise’s skin, making Elise scream like a little girl.
"I never said I would strip your clothes. No, that was my partner in the full sense of the word the delectable Natasha," Sophie purred. "Maybe she wants to have shower fun with you first. Don’t you think she has a hot body? I can just imagine watching her break you, making you her slave. Seeing you crawling around begging us to whip you and punish you because you are a naughty replicant, not a real player at all. Just so you know Elise… I am the great niece of Dr Lector, and I love a nice chilled Chianti. Do you have one in your inventory lover boy?" Sophie asked.
Elise struggled hard against her fastenings, shaking in the seat trying her hardest to get free. When that didn’t work, she screamed at the top of her lungs, making everyone’s ears hurt from the noise.
"Elise, Elise," Sophie had to slap the face of the now screaming Elise. "Calm down. Stop struggling and your screaming, you can’t get free," Sophie said. Bringing her screaming under control and then sobbing Elise spoke,
"I never met this Jason. They never told me I would have to suffer this for the clan. His rep, a man called David Harrison paid me to join his clan, I’ve been an on off PvP player for years in other games and I am reasonably good. But this game the pain the fear is all real. We feel them in our own bodies. Did you know? David told me. It’s one of the great things about Forsaken that all the feelings, the pain from any damage is real along with any pleasure, they are all felt in your body back in the POD.
Dying and coming back to life is amazing, but it takes a full two hours to re-spawn, that’s Earth hours, not game hours. So, there can be no cheating in hard quests. I can just imagine how skinning me will affect my body in the POD. Doing bad things to NPCs is one thing, but against flesh and blood players who feel what is happening.
Please, if we are not being recorded ask me the questions, and I’ll answer them truthfully. I want out of this game, I’ve tried logging off but can’t. I don’t want to have the memory of being skinned in the game in my real life, I’m just a gamer who they paid half a million game credits to play for the JW Killers."Elise said. Toni left Cain’s side and squatted in front of Elise. Placing a hand upon Elise’s right knee, she said,
"Please be truthful, OK. We know that what happens in the game happens to your body back in its POD If you receive pain here your body receives subsequent pain too. Sophie told us she will be creative if we do not feel you are truthful with us. I do not think you will like her creativity,"
Elise watched as Sophie peeled a microscopic layer of skin off her forearm, hanging it off the knife point.
"Did you see how easily the skin peels, not even a trace of blood. So, will you tell us everything we want?" Sophie asked and nodded to Cain.
Home on the Range
Using his improvisation skill, Cain booby-trapped the door that led into the tunnel. He also used one automatic-rifle Sophie looted, on a trip wire aiming it down the tunnel. After Elise had told them everything they wanted, Cain removed one of the directional camera’s motors he found in a spares box under the monitor bank. Using a zoom actuator motor, Cain wired it directly to the camera control panel. Fastening the zoom actuator to the chair arm, Cain then tied a combat knife to the lens arm.
Testing it, the arm moved backwards and forwards slowly moving the knife through the rope holding Elise’s arm to the chair. With everything ready, Toni left Elise a water flask and three energy bars on the controller’s desk. Cain turned the Faraday field back off so the game could see and record everything that happened.
"Elise. I’ve programmed the camera system controller to do multiple zooms and focus requests in one hours’ time. If anyone tries to access the control room using either door, the two grenades I placed under your chair will instantly kill you. Once the rope gets cut, you can use the knife attached to the motor arm and free yourself. Your clothes are over there near the drink and food, Natasha has left for you, I folded them for you. I will not tell you if you picked the wrong side; that is something you need to work out on your own.
But we have no grudge with you or most of the JW clan, just Jason. If you wait, you will eventually get free. Should you see us and you are still part of this clan, and we see you, we will kill you.
Don’t think our reluctance to kill or hurt you now will stay our hands, it won’t. We wish you well," Cain said then bent down to Elise’s ear and whispered so the game recording could not pick up what he said.
Cain told Elise that they had just killed over fifty of her clan players in the last two hours. The three of us are a walking disaster zone for any player whom is in a PvP clan, even more so if they join the JW Killers. Standing back up Cain followed Sophie and Toni out of the control room, locking the door behind him.
[ROFL, you received loads of negative reviews for not torturing Elise, let alone not forcing yourselves upon her. Some people thought you would have raped her, especially after the shower scene or that Cain would have raped her.
They have watched your shower scene with Sophie plenty of times, over three hundred million times, just so you know you are hot viewing property. There are hundreds of polls running regarding Forsaken 2027. A poll you are part of, people have voted both Sophie’s and your bodies the hottest lesbians in the game so far.
The sooner you two have sex with Cain, in every way, before the ever-watching game feeds you’ll be lesbians to the watching people.] Rahab reported to Toni.
Blushing at Rahab’s report, Toni kept the news to herself, but made her mind up to get intimate, with Cain and Sophie, at the earliest opportunity Cain first then maybe Sophie while Cain has her.
"Toni, did you get a good look at Elise’s body? Don’t you think she would fit in well with us? I know I sort of scared her shitless, but she was beautiful, don’t you think?" Sophie asked Toni while Cain was looking in the distance
"Yes, Elise was beautiful, but it has to be up to Cain. He’s the leader, so he’d have to think she would fit in well with us." Toni replied.
