Chapter 5:
Lost Paradise
"Remove your clothes"
Aurora blinked. "Excuse me. What?"
Leona Richards glanced up from her datapad, her emerald eyes glistening with annoyance."Security Protocols Captain Dastune," Shaking her head she pointed towards the clock. "Your highness doesn't have all day so I would appreciate it if you would comply with the procedure. "
Aurora stared glassily at the blonde girl before silently complying with her demands. She was led towards the screening room, installed with machinery she had never seen before.
The room was smaller than an average quarter room aboard the Ark, metallic walls or whatever that were left of it was painted in neon as the purple hue
Leona reached out towards the control panel at the centre, feeding in the commands to begin the security check.
Her eyes twitched in annoyance at the sight of the mandatory procedure checklist. Using her free arm she passed Aurora a neon net bag along with a white robe emblazoned with a Phoenix-Federacy's Symbol.
"Please put away all your belongings inside this bag," She gestured towards the bag and then the white fabric. "And put this on. Once you are done with changing I would like you to step on this platform for the final check"
"Are we really doing this?! " Aurora clenched her fist as she stripped out of her pilot suit. The room despite having temperature control felt cold, Aurora’s teeth clattered as she removed the last piece of clothing on her and stood stark naked in front of Leona.
“Yes,” Leona motioned for her to stand on the circular platform. “You are to meet the Princess of the Galactic Federacy, and we already had cases of Assassination attempts early this year. So we take precautions. Open your mouth.”
Aurora obliged.
Using the slim cylindrical tube Leona prodded Aurora’s tongue before letting the object slide inside her. On the holographic screen on the control panel appeared a 3D image of Aurora’s internals and after a brief moment, the control panel beeped as the words ‘NO ABNORMALITIES FOUND’ appeared over the image.
“Not that I mind all of this,”
Oh, trust me I do mind this.
“But why my insides? Do you really think I have some superweapon hidden in some organ of mine?” Aurora asked as Leona stretched her eyelids and nose, before writing down ‘safe’ on her data-pad.
“You tell me,” Leona murmured. “Any artificial organs or trafficked organs? Or any kind of enhancers? That you took in the past or have been taking regularly?”
“Excuse Me, I am a Mercenary, not a drug dealer or traffic-”
“Just answer the question in a yes or no Captain,”
“No,” Aurora growled.
“Good.”
“Lastly,” Leona walked towards Aurora with a tabular injection in hand, from the side of it protruded a thin needle, so small Aurora couldn’t see it until it was touching her skin.
Using her left arm Leona held Aurora’s wrist and then swiftly injected the needle.
Aurora closed her eyes, taking deep breaths.
Don't kill her. Don't kill her
“And done” Satisfied with the results Leona smiled. “Just wear the White Robes and you can have an audience with the Princess.”
“Thanks,” Aurora stopped her fingers digging inside the fabric of the robes she had been given. “I will never forget this.”
“Oh?” Leona laughed. “Well, that is a first for me. Everyone else either straight up stormed out of the room or just cursed at me. I was surprised that you didn’t do either”
“I am as well.”
