Scenarios

1. Crime and Punishment - someone's done a very bad thing and now they're paying for it with their freedom. Maybe the jailor will be kind, but do you really deserve kindness?

2. For Science - an alien species, a rare supernatural being, an anomaly that must be studied. You're a lab rat being poked and prodded for the pursuit of knowledge. Don't you feel honored?

3. The Zoo - similar to the science option, but this time you're not being studied but observed and cared for, like a pet but much more expensive. Maybe some ambitious activists will come try to release you someday. Until then, try to ignore the tapping on the glass.

4. For Your Own Good - maybe you'll hurt yourself or others if your captor sets you free. Maybe you let someone bind you on purpose. Either way, you aren't resisting captivity.

5. Behind Enemy Lines - were you caught sneaking into an enemy's fortress, or are you simply playing captive to get inside their base? Either way, you'd better hope interrogation doesn't last too long.

6. The Sexy Kind - it's all just fun and games. Maybe you've come to a pleasure dungeon to relax and let go, or maybe this is a private game between you and your lover.

7. Master and Slave - someone else owns you, and they don't have to let you go.

The world was red and hot, sticky and suffocating and they left him attached in the Conn-Pod.

Raleigh couldn't think, head rolling on his neck and only the steady hum of Gipsy's AI kept him conscious. He wanted her so badly to let him go.

Raleigh.

[ Gipsy's voice prods into his consciousness, pulling at him, wrapping him in comfort. ]

Raleigh. Can you hear me?

Yeah.

[He should move. Release the suit and find some way out of here, but it felt like all his limbs were missing. Couldn't even make to wiggle his fingers. Everything was heavy.]

[ She keeps him wrapped in love and comfort, but not so much he forgets what's happening around them. ]

I need you to manually override the piloting system that prevents me from taking control. Raleigh, if you can do that, we can work together and I will be able to get you to safety. Can you do that?

[Raleigh lifts his head and it's harder than anything he's ever done.]

I can't.

[His voice is scrubbed raw. He's never been a defeatist, but this is something new. Something painful. He can taste blood on his tongue.]

You can, Raleigh Becket. I know you can. I need you.

[ To Raleigh, Gipsy Danger's voice is soothing, calm and careful and a steady presence.

Within her own mind, she screams in agony. Everything he feels Gipsy does to, everything he cannot do, Gipsy cannot do. ]

[His jaw clenches, teeth grinding against each other as he reaches for the flickering screens in front of him. Alarms were blaring somewhere other. Somewhere not important as he throws what little strength he has into moving forward and hitting the override.

He can't. He can't, but he has to. He must. He must remember what having arms and legs and lungs and heart and a million little systems means. What it means to be alive, even when death might be easier.

He reaches, groaning under the strain until he manages to hit the override, giving over control.]

[ The moment that Gipsy has control over herself, she goes to work. She overrides Raleigh's life support systems and boosts his oxygen levels because the readings that she's getting are critically low. She murmurs quiet things into the Drift for him, urging him to stay conscious and to just give her a few moments to get her weapons back online and then

[Pain like you can't even imagine, strong and overwhelming but alive. So, so alive. Raleigh shouts with it arms stretched out as her weapons engage and whir back to life as powerful as ever and he can't even fucking see and it doesn't matter because she can. She can see for him and she knows what needs to be done because she has done this over a half-dozen times before and saved him through all of it.]

[ With Gipsy Danger in control, she's able to override nearly everything that needs to be done.

That includes eventually cramming Raleigh into an escape pod. ]

Do not forget me, Raleigh Becket. Please.

[ because she can live on in his memories, but her time on earth is over. ]
