"Please, I won't do it again. I promise." I say as they drag me to the wiping chamber.

"We need to make sure of it, Soldier." He says, then tightening his grip on my right arm.

The doors open and I start to hyperventilate. I hold my breath and close my eyes for three seconds. I release my breath, then open my eyes.

I hit the guard in the gut with my elbow then turn to him as he let's go of me. He bends as he clutches his stomach then I grab his shoulders then flip over him. I stand straight then hold on to his head.

I hear guns get out of holsters then Dr. Arnim speaks.

"Easy, now. This is my prized possession. Everyone calm down." He says slowly. "Release him now, Soldier."

I see everyone stand down and I close my eyes for a second. I breathe out slowly, then I let go of the gaurd. I turn and see the one person I truly know.

"There, now you know how important your missions are. We can't have any vulnerabilities, remember that." He says.

"Ok." I reply.

He walks to me, and I turn to face him. I feel a knot in my throat and I feel that scared as hell feeling I've felt before.

"Come on now. I think you're ready. I have your next mission when you are done with wiping." He says.

"Sounds like a plan." I say.

He puts his hand on my back and he walks me to the chair. He straps me in himself then goes to the board.

"Give her the mouth gaurd, you imbecile

"Give her the mouth gaurd, you imbecile." He says to the gaurd I almost killed.

He scoffs then goes to the table. I notice red hand prints on his throat. I almost apologize but he shoves the guard in my mouth before I speak. I look at Dr. Arnim and he nods.

I close my eyes and start counting in my head.

One, two, three.

I hear the buzzing of the machine.

Four, five, six.

I feel the plates on my head.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

The shocking starts. My eyes shoot open and I begin to scream. I feel the tears pouring out my eyes. The shocking stops and I'm hyperventilating. I hear the other guy say those words that change me. The plates leave my head, then I sit up straight.

Dr. Arnim presses more buttons, then the machine stops buzzing. The gaurds come and take me out of the chair. I take the mouth gaurd out and stretch my jaw.

"I am ready to comply." I say.

"New mission; suit up. You will be given more information as soon as you are done." He says.
