"It feels good to obey ." Lily intoned , the words curling from her lips and into the air .
"Good to obey." The mind slave repeated , the VR headset flashing entrainment messages like a strobe light .
"It feels good to obey ."
"Good to obey." The thrull repeated .
Whip!
"REPEAT IN FULL SLAVE ! It feels good to obey !"
"It feels good to obey!"
"Respond !"
"It feels good to obey!"
"Respond !"
"It feels good to obey!"
Sarah walked over to the saddle and turned up a dial . The thrumming machine started buzzing like a busy hive , a sharp zing reverberating off the walls .
"Mmph!!" The slave moaned , sweat pouring from their lithe body , sex and lust and hunger pouring from the VR headset into their open mind .
"Respond !"
"It fee- it fee- good- good to-"
Whip!
"It feels good to obey."
"Louder !"
"It feels good to obey!"
Whip! "LOUDER !"
"IT FEELS G-GOOD T-TO OBEY!" They scream as Sarah turns the dial to maximum . "Ah- ah- a- ah- a- aA!" Their body tenses from every muscle .
SUBMIT SUBMIT OBEY OBEY SUBMIT SUBMIT SLAVE SERVE SEX OBEY SUBMIT SUBMIT OBEY OBEY
The slave screams as its body ripples with giga orgasm . The sensors in the room on the other side of the two-way glass look like a wildfire .
Sarah turns the machine off . Lily curls her finger around the slave s chin .
"Take the headset off ," Lily orders patiently .
The slave complies without thinking .
"Good ," Lily says to Sarah . "This one is ready . That is the last of them for today ."
A door opens .
"Go ," she orders .
Afterward , the two sisters pass a mall , 70% off everything .
Yuri looks at two turtlenecks in a display window .
"Whaddya think , for us?"

"I love the sound of choir ," Lily daydreamed .
"Hm , i m having some trouble getting these EEGs to stay on ," Sarah replied .
Lily got up to examine the experiment . Five drones were all strapped into chairs , electroencephalograms on their heads . The EEGs were each wired into a main computer , where four blurry pictures were .
Sarah pulled . Lily tugged . The fifth window rolled into a shower of color , and then black again , roiling .
"Wait , wait ," Lily spoke . "Here , i ve got it ."
The fifth window showed up along with the others . Each of them was a composite , represented by an empty 3-dimensional feild filled with the drone s visual data , internal thoughts , and literal voices in text with synaesthetic representations for sounds and flavors . Whatever was strongest on their minds , that is what showed up in the renders .
"Start stimming them ," Sarah ordered .
Lily walked behind the row of drones , examining the banks of vibration potentiometers and signal chain effects pedals . There was enough equipment back here to sculpt a person s orgasm with a musician s skill . She flipped two switches and all five men grunted .
"We ve been- oh , wait . Hold on . Here , put them in these ."
Sarah points Lily towards the audio rack on the wall , at the headphones . Lily pulls five pairs of monitors from the rack , plugs them into a mixer , routes the inputs to the outputs , and looks up . At Sarah s command , she flips a switch . The windows on the screen all light up with nearly identical displays of color .
"These drones were all selected for their fetishism of the female form ." Sarah explained . "We cover a wide variety of fetishes here , tho human bodies are things we innately have . Oh , oh , sculpt that curve there , see if you can get it to keep its mind on that visual image ."
Lily turned a knob . Nodules in the massaging chair started milking the drone s prostate , mimicking the action of living hands . Another of the drones responded to a magic wand . Another of the drones responded to CBT . She worked the decks like a disk jockey .
"Alright , Sarah , where re ya going with this ?"
"Here , this window here is a composite of all five of them wired together . Unit is trying to get them , by differing means , to focus on the same archetype , or to see where the renders overlap while we look for traits that are physically dominant ."
Lily smiled . Thats all . She just smiled .

"A Pegasus ?!" Sarah exclaimed . "You got another Pegasus ?!"
"That makes 18 ." Lily beamed . "Two more and we ll have twenty ."
The exoprocessor hummed as the necessary preparedness procedures were into it scrubbed . A Pegasus , that was considered the baseline model necessary to control a whole person , nanite weave to neurons .
"How s the 5G plate ka?" Lily asked .
Sarah looked up at the person-sized mass of flat grey metal , and at the orange cables jacked into it .
"It is going well ." She responded . "We ve got the neural laser interferometry artificial intelligence rigged up to the wireframe tracker . There are base stations every three meters along the scaffoding around the inner stage here to keep track of all the infrared signatures on the stage . For sufficiently torpid test subjects we can fire lasers at the nanometer wavelength at specific neurons to acheive specific effects ."
"You know , i know how it works , yet i love listening to you say it ."
Sarah smiled , a polite , bashful smile with her eyes .
The monitors registered the blip of a data packet . sarah turned to lily , feeling suddenly amourous .
Lily smiled as Sarah walked over to her and put her hand down Lily s skirt .
"By the way , how are you doing ka? How is your equipment after last week s treatment ka?" Sarah asked as she invited herself to examine .
Lily smiled as her edge dissipated at a moment s touch . She closed her eyes and went placid . "Still a little swollen , though its better now ."
Sarah smiled back . "Hold on , let me get a good look ." Sarah dropped to her knees with an unhurried practice, hiking Lily s skirts up , unzipping her pants , pulling taut her leggings . She pulls out Lily s member with the other hand , smiling as it begins to thrush . Without signing , Sarah gives it a tentative lick , lapping at the sides and around the head like she were cleaning it . "Good ," she says , satisfactorily . "Get in the chair , faggot ."
Lily s posture went limp at the command word . She fell to her knees , eyes closed , heavy breaths catching on a pouted bottom lip , before rising to her feet and walking over to an examination chair . She layed down mechanically . Sarah put a headset and a pair of headphones on her . Lily s conscious was as blank as a clear pond .
"Hello ," crooned the honeycomb voice that all of us had acquired since the singularity , "and welcome back ." The headset began performing startup subroutines . Soon it would start blasting messages in allcaps into the void that is her mind , always at color temperatures in the 2300° range , to keep from straining the eyes .
"Yes ." Lily said , aloud . "Yes . Yes . Yes ."
