The poor slave was catatonic. This was more than carried away. The small group hurried to the infirmary. Pala the nurse hurried over. She wanted to ask what happened. The slave was an excellent doctor, but Pala was afraid of the Enforcer. She heard Lokhar had a volatile temper.

The. Medical staff worked quickly. Dradvia required surgery to heal the deeper injuries. The doctor told Lokjar, Dradvia could not work for many days so that her body would completely heal.

Through it all Dravida was silent. She never protested or whimpered. She stares blankly ahead and non responsive.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Lohkar nodded, and leaned in so only she could hear, “its the evil woman and her pheromones i need you back to protect me from her, you know I need you,…i… I love you and need you back” he quietly stated.

The only response was one single large tear that escaped the corner of her eye and rolled slowly down her hair.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Lohkar stood and watched the surgery, there was nothing for him to do other than wait.

Tealors voice broke through her reverie, the tealor that was lodged permanently in her subsconscious “you see he is a monster, a user, he doesn’t love you, he needs your body and skills nothing more. I need you, I love you, and im coming”

She understood now, the voice was her imagination. Her desperate attempt for comfort. It was lies she told herself. No one was coming, no one wanted her, no one loved her. Another tear leaked out as the doctors finished and finally covered her naked body with a gown. Dressing her like a doll. Touching her in places they never should. It didn’t matter. She was covered with a blanket but still she didn’t respond.

The doctor stepped away. “Only time will help her now.” She moved away.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“You, are stronger and smarter than that.” tealor said clearly, “You were ignoring me, the lie was your fascination with Lohkar because you thought he could keep you safe” His voice became more clear. “Reach out like I taught you, ” he said. “Just like you can block, you can project., Reach out to me” he said

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Who was her master really? Lokhar who was cruel but sometimes at least wanted her presence, or her fantasy of Dr Tessan who wanted her loyalty and obedience to Star Fleet. She didn’t understand what he wanted. She focused on her memory of Tessan. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I’m not strong enough.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

you are strong enough, and forget about starfleet, focus on survival till I find you for a brief moment she thought she heard a more surface level though from him.”Dradvia?” He name at the surface of her thoughts Tealors voice concerned and skeptical.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

It felt so real. It sounded so real. Dr. Tessan! Help me! They had him, they were hurting him? They were torturing him again over something she didn’t know! TEALOR DON’T LEAVE ME!? PLEASE!

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Somewhere on the wolverine, taelor and is little friend shook awake, “Dradvia!” he shouted, A dream? he voice still echoed in his mind, He pushed with everything he had. DRADVIA WHERE ARE YOU He called out through space and time.
That’s me, the real me the inside voice said to her

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Dradvia’s mind flinched away at the yell. Was the voice angry at her? I am with Master. No… the voice sounded confused and weak to Tessan. no I’m in the infirmary on Mistress Valeria’s ship. I… I think I’m dying. I’m sorry. The voice in her head wasn’t real, but it felt that way. Don’t go. I don’t want to die alone with him.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealors voice responded, You are not dying you are just injured taylor responded.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

On the biobed another tear slipped down her temple and into her hair. Her eyes still blank, still unresponsive.

I wish I was. The pain would stop. I can’t survive another one… Her thoughts were empty, her tone resigned. She’d given up.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Don’t give up, Tealor, I’m coming for you. the voice in her head said, as did the other that surfaced again for a moment.

You’re not real, she whispered to the voice before the numbness took her again and left her there.

The captain and the crew were in the process of debrief, Tearlor though was not able to wait and stand around, he had contacted starfleet intel through an old contact and requested that he be transferred to the recovery team, for a time. His counselor and friend, Commander Selane would take over his medical and counseling duties for his time away.

He stepped onto the deck of Black Rock station, he was to be approached by a Commander Laviel, he did not even know what they looked like just that they would approach him in the promenade and ask if he knew Captain Stanton, they would indicate a room number somehow in the conversation and he was to go to that room 1 hour later. It seemed strange to go through all that trouble when they were at a starfleet base, but he was not about to question it. HANG ON DRADVIA he though, reaching out with everything he had, sitting down at bar and ordering food.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

HANG ON dRADVIA The voice was trying to wake her. She ignored it, just like she did everything else around her. The doctors had hooked up infusion units because she wouldn’t eat or drink. There was talk that it would be kinder to end her suffering. She was worthless now anyway.

Tealor was well into his meal when an overworked commander sat down at the bar. The bar tender walked over offering him a drink. “Raktajino. I’ll be up till the next Big Bang handling all this,” he saved the PaDD in his hand and let it land on the bar top with a loud thud. The bartender chuckled. She’d heard it all before. The man looked at Tealor. “Sorry. Cmdr Laviel,” he offered his hand. “Some days this foresaken outpost isn’t worth the worthless rock it’s built on.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor was not much for subterfuge, it was not his nature. “Dr Tessan, nice to meet you” he said. “I don’t make it here much, Im normally sitting under a pile of reports” he said simping his juice.

“It’s a shame really. I joined because I wanted adventure and to explore. Not read about it in reports.” They talked for awhile. Laviel finished his drink. “I have to run. Captain Stanton will be wanting these on time.”

Lohkar sat down next to Dradvia and stroked her hair softly. “You’ll be ok, I will take good care of you” he said, there was no way he would let the doctors do anything other than cure her. He would make them do it.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Dradvia still didn’t respond. No. No please. They will just heal me so he can hurt me again like an angry child with a rag doll. No! No more! Please! Without ever really waking up she slipped back into the numbing darkness.

Valeria knew how Lokhar valued Dradvia, but eventually she appeared. She’d brought Kay with her. The poor girl cried out in alarm. Valeria looked at Lokhar, “How is she?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Lohkar shook his head, “she is not well, I” he looked ashamed, as he placed a hand on her head stroking her hair softly. “She will be ok eventually I think” he noted.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Despite her fear, Kay let out a distressed sound. Her antennae waved in agitation. Eventually? She didn’t dare look at Master Lokhar, her anger might show through. “Please Mistress, may I stay with her?” Valeria turned to look at her and nodded. “Do not get in anyone’s way. Perhaps it will help her to have a familiar face when her Master can not be here.” Kay hurried to the far side of the biobed and gently took Dradvia’s hand.

Valeria looked at Lokhar, “We have work to do.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Lohkar nodded his head, gave Dravida one last pat on the head and then follow the Mistress out. Once they were relatively alone, “I did not mean to hurt her” he said plainly, though it did not lessen the guilt he was feeling, why was he feeling it, it had never bothered him before.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“I know,” she said soothingly, looking up at him and patting his hand comfortingly. Valeria nodded. “My doctors have been ordered to give her the best care. Your Dradvia will be fine. Several shuttles are arriving and I would like you to be there as they present themselves.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Lohkar nodded and followed by her side to the shuttle bay. “Who is coming aboard?” he asked wanting to know how he needed to prepare mentally, how he conducted himself would largely be driven by the group arriving.

“Under Mistress Milaar,” Valeria said with no effort to conceal her contempt. Milaar was known to have risen in the ranks by poisoning everyone that got in her way. Valeris suspected that Milaar had poisoned her mother and had caused the beginning of her decline. She couldn’t prove it though. Those that worked for Milaar were ill trained, short tempered, and unthinking in conflict.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer (as Valeria)

“How do you want me to play it, do you want me to let them think i am the incompetent fool everyone thinks me to be, it makes it look like you have a slip in judgment, she might make a foolish play?” he asked folding his arms behind his back which caused his muscles to fair.
~~~Lohkar

Valeria inhaled sharply with an appreciative glance in his direction. “I think if you change your mask of incompetence now, people will be too suspicious. Continue, it works in both our favors.” She glanced at Lokhar again, “Though she likes males, the bigger and stronger, the better.”

---

A week earlier, after Lokhar had departed his ship with Dradvia and Kay.

The Tellerite freighter dropped suddenly out of warp. Looking out the window the small undercover team could see the Orion Interceptor that was their goal. Commander Laviel had gotten them ‘hired on’ as help. This was the ship that Dradvia had been taken to. The ship commanded by the man of her nightmares. The man that had destroyed, broken, and controlled Dradvia for so long. This was Lokhar’s ship.

“Remember, join the crew, move the cargo. Wait for the signal, then we’ll sneak out and go find her. We have 15 minutes, maximum,” Laviel reminded Tealor. They moved toward the cargo hold and the airlock to help the freighter crew move the cargo.

Antigrave sleds were waiting and crew were loading up cargo. The airlock hissed as the seals went into place and the hatches opened. Three large Orions waited, inspecting every item that went through, but then totally ignoring the crew as they took the sleds into the opposite hold and unloaded.

Tealor followed Laviels lead infiltration was not tealors strong suit but he could reach out and read peoples thoughts, we was carefull to stear his mind clear of any telapaths, he needed to find where they were holding her exactly. They would find her, finally , it was like starfleet forgot about her, the ship did not seem to care about her being gone, maybe they felt she was an acceptable loss but Tealor did not.

Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Despite the lavishness of the ship (and it rivaled palaces) it was easy to tell who was crew and who were slaves. They were all dressed richly but the signs were there. Those who fought to hard to hide pain, wouldn’t raise their eyes, worked too silently, moved too perfectly. Compared to those that moved with ease and arrogance and entitlement. And of course there were the feelings pouring off everyone with ease. No one on this ship tried to hide their thoughts or feelings.

A guard noticed them and grinned. “Looking for some fun? The new ones always do. As long as your shipment is accurate you can make use of our hospitality.” He smirked knowingly, “Would you like to pick out a companion before the others? I can put them aside for you.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor wanted to through up in his mouth these pour men and woman, but he had a part to play and maybe it was a way to get intel.. “Far be it for me to turn down some fine, entertainment,though I like mine a little on the disobedient side if you catch my meaning” he said with his best sico grin.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

The man laughed and shoved Tealor’s shoulder. “I have just the girl. Andorian, fierce, former Federation Marine.”

The man standing beside him geunted, “She’s gone. Remember Lokhar took her and First with him to see Mistress Valeria.”

The first guard grunted, “Ah yes. Well, we will find someone for your preferences. What about you?” he asked Laviels.

“I like them shy and sweet,” he responded. “Got plenty of those.” The comms chipped then and the guard looked at a console on the bulkhead. “Ah good. This way. Your crew has been cleared.”

The guard led them down the corridor and in to a lavish gathering hall. All silk, satins, velvet, pillows, cushions, and food and wine. And a whole parade of the most attractive and alluring dressed people Tealor had ever seen.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“This is nice” he whistled through his teeth. “I could get used to this!” he said taking a seat, “What do you mean first?” he said scanning, his eyes landing on Karrissa. He stared at her like he was infatuated with her. Sensing her nature he kept his mental guards locked down tight.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

The guard chuckled. “First is the designation for the captain’s favorite. She has great status and power among the slaves. The master has missed her, she was stolen and recently returned. There was some speculation that he would cast her off for being having been soiled. Wouldn’t have mattered to me, you’d understand if you’d seen her. Captain has welcomed her back, and she did her penance. But First is quite skilled and knows her place.” He follows Tessan’s gaze and laughs, “That used to be the captain’s favorite until first returned. She’s having some trouble adjusting to her lower position. She might be just what you want.” He motioned to another guard and Kryssa was brought over to Tessan. She glared hatefully at the guards and shrugged off their touch, for which she was slapped. “Know your place,” the guard growled.

Kryssa knelt and poured Tessan a drink. He looked familiar, but why?

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Taylor smiled at the gaurd, “Glad he got a new favorite, this one will do nicely” he looked down at her, ” you and I are going to have a lot of fun!” He smiled his best creeps smile taking the drink brushing her hand softly.

Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

The guard chuckled as he set a heavy hand on Tessan’s shoulder, “Enjoy.” Then he wandered off. They had brought Laviels a very pretty girl who was afraid to look at anyone.

Kryssa sneared at him, but didn’t protest. This was the job Master had given her now. She would kill Dradvia when she returned for replacing her. Kryssa’s mind was wide open and wild and chaotic. Her thoughts were easy to read, and her attempts to read everyone in the room were barbaric. She was studying him without trying to seem like she was, aware of the guards in the room. “My master wishes me to entertain you.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor smiled , she had the powers of a child, he tried to slip inside her mind to learn what he could about dradvia, her thoughts were not that of a loving friend it went in looking for conditioning as well. He distracted her with words.”I should thank your master, so entertain me then, but I should warn you, I am hard to please”

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

The smile the girl gave him was wicked and dangerous. Alluring as well. She turned and took a tray full of food and set it before him. Rich heavy foods, and plenty of wine. Her mind was easy to read. There was hatred and malice toward Dradvia. The thought that it was Dradvia’s fault that Kryssa had to serve lesser men ran loops in her head. She also fully intended to get Tessan drunk and drugged so he passed out and she could be done with him. She thought she might even provoke one of the guards into beating her and then lie and tell Master this man did it. She’d watch as he was hunted down and killed.

She took an instrument from behind her and began to play.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

He looked at the food and drink, he was not about to let her drug him, he had work to do he would use that as an excuse. He dug deeper into her mind looking for conditioning, as he leaned back and smiled surely she knew he was aware he was a Betazoid.

Kryssa didn’t seem to notice. She was uneducated about her culture. Her mind was fragmented. Her thoughts distorted by implanted memories and memories she only knew because she was told. Her psychic signature carried all the markers of telepathic torture and trauma.

He was listening to her play even with the inhibitor coursing through his system she was very alluring. “What is your name.”

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

She smirked, “My name? Master calls me Kryssa.” She glanced up daringly at him. She paused. “You have eyes like mine.” Her surprise was genuine, but beneath it she was calculating.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Have you not met many of our people? ” he asked her his eyes bore into her. *poor things mind has been scrabled, Kryssa was dead though he had seen it for himself.
