Chapter Sixteen

Never take counsel of your fears. Stonewall Jackson

Pandora had never felt such pain in her life. Even the induction field that Vengeance had used on her had not caused this much agony. She knew that was theoretically impossible. There should have been no greater pain than direct induction of pain nerves. But there had to be a psychological component to seeing the actual physical damage to your own body. Pandora knew she could be repaired, but still, seeing her breasts burned to stubs and one of her hands crippled by the loss of two fingers, not to mention all the cuts and burns all over her body, were almost more than she could take. And laying in her own urine and feces made her feel degraded like nothing she had ever been through, like she was a helpless child dependent on others to clean her, and these others had no interest in that.

Dear Jesus, she thought as she watched the Inquisitor pick up another instrument from the nearby table; give me the strength to resist. She was not sure why she was praying to the Savior she had rejected so many years ago (or was that so many tens of thousands of years), the Savior her father had preached. She still wasn’t sure she believed in him. Maybe it was the comfort of tradition, or the belief that nothing else could save her now. Not her God, or science, or her lover the superman.

“All you have to do is give us the code,” said the Inquisitor, holding up the heat probe where she could see it. The tip was glowing with a white heat that she could feel from a half meter away. “Just transmit the code through the computer link we have established with your mind, and we will be done here.”

The link you think you have established, thought Pandi, wanting to smile and gloat at the man, to show him a sign that she was triumphant here, and knowing that to do so would spoil her plan. But she had the connection through her own implants, not through the nanites they had injected into her brain, the ones her own system had devoured and then mimicked.

“You can go to hell, you shit head,” she said, spitting out the last words to keep herself from crying.

“Very well,” said the man, moving to where he could look at her genitalia, to the opening of her vagina. He put a hand on that delicate flesh, rubbing a finger over her clitoris, gently, like he was trying to pleasure her. He looked up at her with a leering smile, then brought the heat probe into line and pushed it into her opening.

The extreme pain shot up Pandora’s nerves before she could react. She tried to clamp down with nanite nerve blocks, also realizing that to show less than great pain would tip her torturers off. But even cutting thirty percent off the pain transmission was not enough. Her bladder and bowels loosened again, and snot clogged her nose while her muscles arched.
