Last Chapter Recap: Oh well. At least this conversation made me forget my old worry. I can finally think with a clear head.
NOW
In the end, nothing happened. Neither during the shift, nor lunch break, nor afterwards. Hey, I can't shake this irrational sense of uneasiness.
I guess I need to take a shower… and have a good fuck with one of my girls, heh.
That's right, even if I fail to achieve 100% of my plan, I've already gained four beautiful and talented slaves… what do I worry about?
MC's Room
Now, which one should I call to-
"Huh?" Adam said, looking around at his room.
Something is wrong. Very wrong.
I usually don't put much attention to orderliness, but something about my room tips me off.
Something… no, many things were moved. My bunk… my desk… my…
A cold sweat appears above my brows. There's no mistake. When I was on duty, my room was pretty thoroughly searched.
There could be only one person who'd do such a thing-
"Hands up!" a voice came from behind me.
I know it. I know something would happen. I knew she was onto me. Why did I ignore my instincts? Why did I let this hound corner me?
Commander Heidi…!!!
"Comman—" Adam started before Heidi stopped him.
"You will talk only when I order you to," Heidi said, pointing the gun at Adam.
Cold alloy pressed towards my back tells me she's not joking… fuck, fuck, fuck… what did that woman find this time?!
My mind kicks into overdrive, trying to find any possible way out of the situation… but there is none. The moment I make any strange movements, this gun will go off.
… Heidi takes handcuffs.
Overwhelmed, I let her clasp my hands in handcuffs. There's no doubt. The rig is up.
"Walk forward," Heidi said, pointing her gun at Adam. "I want no sudden movements. Is that clear?"
"Gulp!" Adam gulped, swallowing saliva.
I nod, desperately looking for any opening…!
Gravity Prison
As expected of the right-hand woman of Selana, I can't find any openings at all!!!
"Sit!" Heidi said, her voice cold and commanding.
Without any chance to retaliate, I am forced to obey her orders. The same seat that once imprisoned lt. Chand from escaping is now my prison.
"Ugh...!!!" Adam muttered in pain.
The moment the gravity trap starts pulling me down, it feels like a hit from a hammer. Even though I have enhanced strength, this is difficult…!
Only after force fields kicks in, commander allows herself to lower the gun. I can tell, this is all prepared… she planned all of this!
"We can do this, two ways, Ensign..." Heidi said, her voice calm but laced with quiet threat. "No, Adam. Black."
The way she pronounces my name oozes with such disdain!!
"You may admit to your treachery right now," Heidi said, her eyes cold. "That would earn you a proper court-martial when we arrive in the Pluton Star zone."
"Or you may play dumb and let me do it the hard way," Heidi said, her voice low and dangerous. "But I guarantee you, you won't survive until the end of the mission."
"Ugh..." Adam groaned, struggling against the pain. "You have no right to—"
"Rights?" Heidi mocked, a cruel smile forming. "Spies have no rights."
"I'm not—" Adam said, his voice shaking with frustration.
"Do you seriously believe that we wouldn't know?" Heidi said, her voice dripping with disdain. "Adam Black, son of the former king of the Black Kingdom of Platinum Planet? What could be your motivation for boarding the Goliath other than revenge?"
"I'm not a spy!" Adam said, his voice rising with desperation.
"So, it's the hard way," Heidi smiled, a cold, almost gleeful glint in her eyes. "Good."
"Ugh!!!!" Adam groaned in pain, his body tense with frustration.
Commander raises the intensity of the prison, and now I feel like hell… even with the help of system. Every bone, every Fiber of my body is being crushed under pressure!!
"Just to be clear, Adam," Heidi said, her voice cold and firm, "I have every authority to end you here and now. As you probably know, the captain of the ship has authority to execute any spies and mutineers."
"I'm telling you!" Adam said, his voice shaking with desperation. "I'm innocent!!"
Even if she searched my room, there should be no evidence again me in my room… I made sure of it!
No wait… did she find my secret room?! My precious slave-making machine?!!
"Stop lying!" Heidi snapped, her anger flaring. "I know you did something to the doctor... and the other crew members! There's no way they'll wear such obscene makeup without some sort of... brainwashing!!"
There's a cold sweat all around my body. she knows something I should've predicted, this sex-hating woman is my natural enemy!!
"I have no idea what you're talking about, woman!" Adam shouted, his frustration growing. "Why don't you test them for nanomachines or something?!"
