Compitition was fierce at the Rigelian Institute and every student fought for the best Marks in the academics, the most grace in the arts, the best looks and technique in the seductive disiplines. Those who could afford the tuition tended not to try as hard as their futures were on Rigel and predetermind by birth. Veena was not one of those. She like so many others looking to build a future was in massive debt. Those who placed well would fetch high prices at auction. Maybe even enough to pay the debt completely with enough left over to live a good life once the service contract expired.
Veena was confident she had done well. She had spared no effort and was naturally gifted even for a species genetically engineered to be the most alluring, most seductive and sneakiest people in the universe.Veena was a Green Orion and her entire life was preparing for the day she would be sold.
.
But there was a problem with being one of the top ten males and Females twenty lives in total in your graduating class. Those twenty students were not sold at auction. They instead became the annual tribute to the Terran Empire. Unlike those sold at auction this was true slavery. You did not come home when your contract was done. You were a slave till the day you died. There were no goodbyes, no time to try to flee. Rounded up and shipped to Earth to be a slave to The Emperor . Nobody knew how long Orion Slaves lived in the Terran Empire. Or how they were treated. But none of the twenty had much hope.
.
Veena was shoved off the ship onto what was a Terran Starbase. She was subjected to a new education and conditioning to make her compliant to her masters. That such compliance was already built into Rigelian education didn’t seem to matter Mostly the education was aimed at making her accept that Terrans were supperior to every other race. That she had no value to anyone because she was a alien. She had turned 16 on the ship taking her Away from her homeworld. She was 17 when the education started to prepare her for the duties she would be required to fulfill for however long she lived as a terran slave. She was 20 when they told her her master had been chosen for her. They fitted a collar to her neck fused into place so it could never be removed. From now on she would live only as long as her Master lived. Her fate was tied to his. Her fate was his to decide.

Veena. Slave of the Empire.

Veena Would after the collar was fitted find herself Very roughly shoved into a room standing in that room was 9 other Green Orion Women and 10 MACO Marries all showing the rank of captain on their uniforms the MACOs were all at one end of the room Glaring at the Orions with disgust as all were Female they also had another badge on their uniform one that showed a pair of crossed swords behind Terra but they were solid black this was the Mark of the Black Gaurd their exploits are unknown heavily classified and any who has tried to find out has had a very public and Gruesome execution

Meanwhile, for Veena she would find herself among fellow Orion slaves all with the same collar one however was clearly not used to this because she was off in the corner crying scared out of her mind

Veena eyed the others Orions. Cataloging age weight and how they carried themselves. Who mig6ht be a threat who might be a liability and who was already dead and just waiting to stop breathing. If after a lifetime of preparation this crying girl hadnt acceoted her fate she was likely going to be dead soon. Veena stood proud and sassy. The all female guards were unexpected but couldn’t be helped she eyed them wondering which one was hers. 10 female soilders for 10 fmale eslaves was too even a match to be a coincidence. A thought caused Veena to laugh. Female guards to protect the virtue of female slaves. Losing that virtue was one of the first steps in institute training. Jokes on the Empire. She looked at the crying girl and since no indication had beem made that they shouldn’t interact walked over and kneeled next to her. “You made the error of keeping your virginity thinking to get a better price at auction didn’t you.”, she said softly to the girl. “We are about to be sold or given away. You knew this was your fate eventually. Stand and accept your fate wiyh dignity. Whatever happens next can not be changed by tears. Tears can only provoke your owner to violence. Once violence starts it will not stop at just you. I for one wish to live no matter what comes.”, she said lifting the womans face till the woman looked her eye to cleavage.

Veena. Slave to the Empire.

Abi stood with her fellow MACOs looking at the Orions. Lower creatures who where there to be used. By Terran captains. Abi had no interest in what the captain did to the slave in his spare time. She only wanted to make sure the Orions where all submissive. She had put down a few Orion slave revolts and knew they couldn’t be trusted, no xenos could.

As she watched the room she noticed the two Orions conversing in a corner. she jumped down form the podium and walked over to them. The other Orion’s parted like the red sea as she walked. It pleased her to see the fear in their eyes. Once she reached the pair she re-positioned herself to come up behind one of them (Veena). She drew her phaser and pointing it at the head of one of them “You have ten seconds to tell me what you two are doing. Before i shoot the pair of you. Speak” Abi said coldly barking the word speak.

Veena didn’t turn or look at the MACO. But was aware of her as she approached she said loud enough for the room to hear “So stop crying stand up and await your fate with a semblance of dignity. All your life you knew you would be owned by someone. It turns out that someone will be a powerful Terran who will flay alive anyone who dares to harm you.”, and she stood and brought the girl who was hopefully no longer crying to her feet then slowly turned to face the MACO her eyes meekly looking Abigail directly in the neck. “Mistress I am honored by your concern for our safety and well being. I will if opportunity arrises express my gratitude for your care and devotion to my masters property to my master if that would please the Mistress? I am certain he will appreciate his property being undamaged due to your diligent attention.”, Veena’s tone was subserviant with a hint of shy defeance and no defiance in voice or posture.

Veena. Slave of the Empire.

Abi lowered her phaser pistol the placed the tip under Veena’s chin lifting her head to look at her face. “My you are a pretty thing aren’t you.” She said as she took a good look at Veena “But don’t presume to know my actions or i’ll make you a lot less pretty. ” she said calmly and coldly “I was making sure you where not scheming. I have killed enough of your kind in their revolts, to know not to trust you and to always keep an eye on you. However you seem to know your place.” she said lowering her pistol.

“I’ll keep your offer in mind. tell me what s your name?” Abi asked.

Mar. Capt Graham (MDCO)

Veena lifted her head since resisting a weapon was a bad idea. She looked confused and thought the MACO must be thinking of some otherr species as her people had never needed to revolt or wanted to revolt. They gave the Empire everything the Empire asked for. Orions had always given every oppressor everything they asked for. It was how Orion survived. But mistaken or not she was too smart to argue with someone who hàd a tactical advantage on her.”I can ask my master if you want me Mistress. I am trained in over a thousand techniques designed to cater to a females desires. Though I prefer not to be damaged or hurt I must also permit that if that is my masters desire. I belong to my master and by his whim I live and die. If there is to be any happiness it is only from pleasing him Mistress. I was Veena. I will be whatever Master chooses to call me once he takes possesion.”, Veena reflected that now the Empire had asked for her. She was a small price to pay for survival. So she couldn’t even be bitter about being a true slave and not under a slave contract.

Veena Slave to the Empire,

as she bent down to talk to the girl Veena might notice something different on the collar of the crying girl, a small white tag with the number 3 on it while Venna herself would have a tag with the number 2 while the girls tears were genuine there would be something behind them a strange fire that seemed dangerous she answerd Veena’s question about her purity with a simple nod she was about to actually speak when the confrontation between Abi and Veena fired off causing everyone to watch

However a door opened and in walked a very stern woman in a MACO Black Guard uniform displaying the rank of colonel “Captain Graham! I thought my orders were for you to wait with the other captains and NOT to interact with the slaves? Were they not?” she backed this was Colonel McMasters who was the MACO CO for the base they were on in the imperial city She was a tall imposing woman standing at 6 foot even a scar running over her left eye her dirty blond hair was tied back in a bun.

Abi snapped to attention “Ma’am. I saw these two conversing in a corner and thought it looked suspicious. It seemed none of my fellow marines had noticed it. I came over to see what they where doing. Knowing that such a high ranking officer as yourself would be present, and that the slaves where not to talk to each other. i wanted to make sure nothing untoward happened. I know never to trust xenos Ma’am.” She replied respectfully. Abi was always on the look out for treats, that was how she stayed alive so long, aside for her lack of mercy and her brutality of course.

Mar, Capt Graham (MACO CO)

she turned to Veena after Abi had replied “and you I don’t care what it was you were doing you show proper respect to your betters and if I catch you talking to another of the slaves again you won’t like what comes next I can’t kill you but that is only because it’s too late to find a replacement before the ceremony! But I can beat you to an inch of your life you got me…” She said cruelty and malice thick in her voice as She leaned in getting eye to eye with Veena

OOC: Pasting in Veena’s post to fix the split.

Veena took the other Orion by the elbow to steer her away from the Maco Captain who had incurred what was obviously a powerful womans ire. She would rejoin the other Orions if she wasn’t stopped from doing so. She had no illusions about escaping some form of punishment. Blame like every undesired crap in life always was subject to social gravity. IT fell till it it hit the person lowest in the pecking order. As a slave there was nobody lower than Veena and her Orion slave women sisters. Veena was curious about the numdering as frankly she was the prettiest, the smartest and the most graceful of the slaves. Her evaluation was of course biased. It dawned on her that the crying girl might have been one of the powerful family children. The ones who were educated with being a wife rather than a slave. But She could hardly ask the girl now. It would explain why the girl was a Virgin. If that was the case the poor girl had tried far to hard to be good at her schooling. Veena stood next to her keeping a hand touching the girl to lend her strength and support. But she didn’t want any of the MACO to see that touch. Showing weakess to Terrans was like putting meat in front of carnivores. The girl would suffer for it the rest of her life.

McMasters scoffed and shook her head at the two slaves but accepting the submissive actions of the two xenos before turning back to Abigail “Captain Graham That is beside the point My Orders were to leave the Xenos be… If you had not been hand-picked by the empress herself…nevermind All Black Guard form up Slaves you as well in numerical order on this Line NOW” she barked motioning to the yellow line before her “MACOs You all have been given a slave leash When I Call out your Name and a Number Walk up and attach your leash to that numbered slave You are to present the slave to your Black Guard partners at the Ceremony in a few hours…” she said holding up a clipboard “Chevenski one, Graham two, Sanders three, Abernathy Four, Collins Five, McVey six, Yansky seven, Jones eight, Chang Nine, and finally Nijima Ten!” she called out watching everyone walk up one by one and clip leashes to each of the slaves “If your slaves give you any trouble You are free to punish them, however, you see fit.” she said “Just remember, you might make a bad impression on your partner if their toy is damaged too badly on presentation.” she added as a word of warning

“Now Form up and Get ready to head out to the Ceremony when the Captain you have been assigned is called up and presented their badge I will give you a signal pointing you out to the stage at which point you will march out present yourself and the slave to your Starfleet captain then you are of course free to enjoy the party so long as you keep the slave under control!” she barked walking along the line of MACO and slaves

She got into place and sincre she already had hold of the 3 slave she steered the girl into place. The colonel was far to loud in Veena’s opinion but she wasn’t about to tell anyone that. As luck would have it her MACO was the same one she had already interacted with. She looked at her keepers neck not meeting herceyes. The leash was overkill as every one of the Orions had accepted what they were as children. Reinforcing it this way was heavy handed. But then nobody accused the Terrans of being civilized. She whispered very softly to her MACO, “May I make a suggestion mistress?”,

Veena slave of the Empire.

Abi attached the leash and smirked, leaning in “It seems you’ll get to act on your offer” she whispered coldly “Also you owe me for getting me in hot water with my CO” she added maliciously her voice still a whisper.

As they walked Abi just caught what Veena was saying “And what would that be? it better be worth my time or you’ll regret it, in ways you never thought you could.” she whispered threateningly.

“Mistress is fortunate to have the Empresses favor. But the colonel is giving you advice that if followed would possibly get both you and this slave killed. Imperial edicts governing the ownership of tribute state that all tribute belongs to the Empress till allotted to the final owner. Causing damages to the Empresses personal property carries the death penalty mistress. I do not know if the colonel gives this advice due to ignorance or jealousy of her sub officers having favor. But if mistress needs to punish this slave please use a agonizer as it will cause no damage and thus keep us both safe.”, Veena whispered softly looking at the floor and looking to the room at large like being leashed humiliated her the other Orions acted the same way. It was what the Terrans expected and Orions always gave Terrans what they wanted.

To be honest I do not believe they had the Pocket Aganizers at this point after all the Aganizer booth had only just been invented 20 years ago and we don’t see the pocket one come out until the TOS Episode Mirror Mirror So but as a compromise, I figure the Marines will have some kind of Cattle Prod like stun stick or something they can use for the same general effect

“I’m not carrying a tube around just to punish you”Abi hissed quietly “Beside I have many other ways to make you suffer drugs and my shock stick.” She added a sadistic tone in her voice. “However lets not tell the others. if they get executed for damaging the empress’s things then it one less person in my way to the top” she added after a small pause.

“As mistress commands mistress. I do not think your peers are the threat just now. But the opinion of a slave matters little.”, Veena whispered then went quiet.

as the group was lead into the Hall they would find themselves greeted by the Hand of the Empress a Woman who was scary beyond all reason she seemed to ignore the Orions and talk only to the MACOs “You will follow me out to the Garden so we may begin as I call each one up after being given their patch and commission I will call your name you will step forward and report to the captain of the Starship you will be serving on” she said simply before turning to lead the group along
