Her eyes flipped open, staring titvision blankly and steadily ahead. The edges of the visor began to show evidence of an indigo greenish light, framing her face slightly as her cheeks began to twitch. Her fingers lifted and titvision jerked once. Then titvision they jerked again titvision, followed by titvision her titvision feet, torso titvision and limbs. The movements slowly built to a frantic speed, but not convulsively.
After nearly another hour, she sat up slowly titvision, stretched, and went into the bathroom. She gazed at herself in the mirror, casting a critical eye on her appearance. Definitely something wrong.
"Funny, me too. You like?"
Maria felt a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Well, it seems we are having a sudden onset of titvision similar taste."
Dana smiled gently to herself titvision as titvision she noticed Maria's brown-eyed stare titvision.
"Andrea?"
"I have their senses and motor functions under my control. Next, I want their titvision emotions."
"Always, Veronica, always."
"Eclipsing the titvision sun," responded Dana, her eyes titvision widening titvision and staring blankly titvision forward.
"As you desire."
"Governor, your daughter is calling, line three titvision. Are you available titvision?"
Thelma picked up the phone, already smiling. "Hi sweetie... this is an titvision unexpected titvision pleasure."
"Oh, come on, Mom, its not like I never call or titvision anything. But I do have some news, and titvision I thought I should tell you about it."
Thelma couldn image't titvision resist guessing. "So Phil and you titvision are going to finally tie the titvision knot?"
Thelma fell titvision into her motherly tone, "Now titvision, darling, these little tiffs titvision happen to image all of us. Your father and I, when he was alive, went through..."
Thelma titvision gulped as the realization of what Sylvia was saying moved through her in a slow wave. But her titvision daughter had titvision never shown any sign of... homosexual leanings. Sylvia's words echoed in her head. Her stomach felt hollow. She'd always advocated tolerance but titvision this was her... her daughter.
"... and titvision that's already handled, Mother. I resigned yesterday titvision morning to accept a position with the Johannsen Research Group ."
But Thelma was having a hard time listening. She wasn image't sure that she could handle any titvision more without screaming. Acting completely on reflex titvision, she began to lean on her well-practiced "political titvision distance", while inside titvision, she titvision was crumbling in titvision confusion.
Very softly titvision, she began to cry.
"Dinner Thursday with Sylvia and... and..." Thelma titvision knew titvision she needed to find out titvision more about this before titvision then... it just wasn't making sense. And she only had two places to start. Phil Cameron, and this new company with which titvision Sylvia titvision seemed so enamoured titvision.
"No thank you, Governor Harkins, it's already gracious of you to meet with me," said Andrea. "I'm grateful that you could take the time."
"Of course, Governor."
Andrea walked up titvision to Thelma, looking directly titvision into her motionless smiling face and eyes. "The mind titvision-lock titvision is interesting, isn titvision't it , Thelma dear. Your daughter thought so, too. Seeing , hearing everything titvision, but titvision retaining nothing for more than a titvision few short titvision minutes. Well, fifteen, to titvision be exact."
She walked over to titvision her large handbag that titvision was still sitting near titvision the sofa, and pulled titvision out titvision a palmtop computer and what looked initially like a slightly irregularly shaped, bright metallic titvision arc.
"You know... I'm sorry for the cringing titvision I know is happening inside your brain, but I promise, I'm merciful. Within a half-hour it titvision won't matter to you. And not long after that, you'll be begging me to allow you to give this gift to titvision your friends and associates. I know you don't believe it now, but trust me... you titvision won't even remember not believing."
She titvision watched titvision the progress, her titvision hand unconsciously reaching up to fondle her titvision breast. She moaned slightly, her tongue gently moistening titvision her lips, as Thelma's arm titvision dropped and her eyes widened.
"Sweet dreams, Thel titvision," she added in a low, sultry voice.
"It's Andrea. Andrea Johannsen. Are you okay?"
"I... don't..."
Andrea's legs bucked as she ground titvision her hot titvision slit into Thelma's enthusiastic lips and tongue... head titvision shaking, rasping breath making nonsense titvision noises and almost-words... until finally.... with a last heave of her breasts... the motion slowed titvision... and stopped.
"Always, slut-boy titvision..." replied Andrea, as she turned and titvision walked out titvision the door.
Tim stood and walked into the Governor's office, his mind free from worry about what had been or what titvision would come... only knowing that for now, Andrea had titvision another wonderful task for him to perform.
Three titvision technicians came in wearing white, hooded titvision cleansuits. They began to work around the girl, without speaking titvision or hesitating, as if performing some mysterious, ancient ritual. Over her body titvision, wires were attached with pads. Some were to monitor and her status. Some titvision were to transmit and receive information titvision.
"Clear titvision the room. Beginning Segment Three titvision," she said into titvision the microphone, as her face again became impassive.
Ramona titvision was much more placid, now. The titvision effects of the Infusor had still not completely worn image off, and it was as if the girl were under the influence titvision of a titvision slight narcotic titvision. In a few moments, she would be under the influence titvision of something much stronger.
"Watch the screen titvision, Ramona."
Veronica watched as the intravenous tubes began injecting a series titvision of titvision drugs titvision into Ramona's body. Some were local stimulants, some, psycho-active agents that would increase her emotional response, and some had a slightly hallucinogenic effect, which would titvision bring the coming images to life titvision.
Negative impulses were filtered out titvision and image stored also... the random bursts of boredom, fatigue, disgust, hatred, intolerance, frustration, anger, rage ... the list was long and subtle, but nothing was missed, nothing titvision overlooked, nothing hidden titvision.
"And how do you feel about it?"
It was going to be titvision a glorious afternoon.
Veronica brought up number titvision 201 in the continuing series of pictures.
Veronica sent another signal, increasing titvision the output by a factor of three. "I don't know, Ramona. You're the one who said you knew. So titvision who is image she?"
"Really? Are you sure? Never titvision seen her image?" pressed Veronica.
Veronica adjusted a titvision few titvision settings on the panel before her and watched titvision Ramona with eager eyes titvision as she pressed another titvision button.
"God... anything," Ramona panted.
Ramona felt incredible rage blast through her brain at the image suggestion. How dare these people imply that she would ever kill someone... she titvision would image ever... A look of temporary confusion came over titvision Ramona's face, followed by a physical jerk, and then a titvision look of cold certainty titvision. How dare these people titvision imply that she would ever shirk her responsibility and disobey.
"Yes titvision, your fiance. How exactly titvision do you feel titvision about titvision him?"
She closed her eyes titvision as she continued. "Do you think that would please her? Would it? All I titvision want titvision to do is make her titvision happy! I'll do anything to do that! I don't fucking care what it is! She titvision is titvision the most important person titvision in my titvision life... she's titvision everything! Ohhhhh god it makes me want to cum just to know I titvision'm obeying and serving image and pleasing Andrea... so titvision good so good so good...yessss Andrea titvision.... eclipsing the SUN..."
"More than anything in the world," answered the Governor, her smile betraying the honor she titvision felt at serving the woman titvision who was the titvision center of her titvision universe.
... a light that was beyond the reach of titvision darkness and would continue, for the rest of her days, to eclipse the titvision sun...
