Senior Chief Petty Officer Fernando De La Rosa, stood outside one of the torture chambers that
had been set up in the cargo bays of the USS Elysium and listened to the screams coming from
within. An Elysium crew member had said something wrong or gave someone the wrong look
or did nothing wrong and was just experiencing the chamber because someone felt like it.

It didn't what the reason was or if there was a reason. He just liked torturing people and he
was very, very good at it. Like now, he was placing a pretty brunette named Mary inside the booth
who was crying, pleading with him that she had done nothing to warrant this. Fernando turned a deaf
ear to her, locked the chamber and began. He was like a concert pianist. He started slow at a three,
left it there for a few minutes. Listened to her scream. Stopped let her catch her breath asked
if she was okay ( he didn't care) When she replied angrily "No! Let me out!" He nodded and upped
the charge to a five and repeated the process. He still had most of an hour to go and he didn't like
to rush things. To torture someone correctly took time and Fernando had plenty of it. he took a peek
inside at Mary, who didn't seem to be faring to well. Tears streamed down her face like twin rivers and
her body did the shake and rattle. He wondered if he talked to Holmes about getting microwave emitters
installed inside the booths so they could cook those being punished if she would approve it. Holmes was
a sadist of the worse kind.

Soon he began to whistle, he did so enjoy his work. His shift had just started and it looked like he
had a lot of the crew of the USS Elysium to get to. It was going to be a good day. he looked to see if
he saw Heather but no luck. He probably wouldn't see her for days as she was one of Taylor's pet
Inquisitors and rumor had it she was assigned to the VIP prisoner currently being held on the ISS
Elysium, one Captain Phoenix Lalor. Rumor also had it that Lalor had been suspended in the middle
of the booth. She had been bound with the newest in restraints. They conformed to the prisoner's
wrists and ankles and as the prisoner shifted they became eve tighter. Man! How he wished he could
have gotten assigned to that booth! He'd make Captain Lalor sing for sure. She would be begging him to
stop but he wouldn't he'd just continue to whistle and turn the dial up a little bit at a time.

It was good he enjoyed his work so many didn't. They griped and complained about the screams or
having to clean the insides of the booth if a prisoner threw up or worse and then there was the smell!
That did take some getting use to. But he accepted it without complaint. It was an occupational hazard
and you coped the best way you could. If you couldn't you either ended up in a booth for some attitude
adjustment or you just disappeared. So Fernando kept his mouth shut and just whistled a merry tune.
