Timeline: MD15 0800 hrs
1472 words - 2.9 OF Standard Post Measure

It was early when they just arrived back at the base. Arri had woken up early for her calistentics. Cragin's torture had weakened her body and he liked Slaves weak and vulnerable. She had set up some holoprojectors to create opponents and she was already practicing her people's martial arts to increase her strength. In case they needed her.

Her body hurt yes, It was recovering. She wasn't pushing herself to hard. But she had to get back up to the fighting science officer she once was after she fought the Terrans. The holographjic sparring partner performed a challenge cata.

Malakai had gotten up to do some running in the holodeck but he found it already in use. curious he walked in and saw Arri working out. She already looked better than when they had first rescued her. She ha clothes on for one thing and she was no longer bound for another. He smiled at her, "Your up bright and early."

"I'm not going to be of any use to you, unless I get my body back to my previous health." She already looked like a Black Watch Gunslinger. Black leather pants, A black partly unzipped jacket. A sword on her back and a weapon at her waist. She was pushing herself back into the fight.

"You aren't going to be any use to us if you push yourself too hard and end up in medbay." Malakai countered.

Arri nodded. "I have created my physical regiment in coordination with Kara to make my recovery and training more effective. I have created sensors that are monitoring my brain for anomalies from my... Enslavement as well." One thing that could be said for Arrianna. She was as efficient as hell. "I'm hoping that if Kara studies my recovery throughly, we can develop additional treatments for Josie, and other slaves, when we find them. However our resources are limited. I may have to ask Phoenix if we can... acquire additional resources vital to locating Kyle Cragen and his associates."

"Makes sense." Mal admitted. Arri was one super organized person. Her recovery was astounding. "In regards to resources, what was the name of the guy who um, ah was in charge of your training? Perhaps if we find him, he'll either lead us to Cragen or is with Cragen and we can kill two birds with one stone. Of course all of this is after we rescue Josie."

"Indeed, we need to acquire a sample of Bishop's serum. It is strangely, and potently effective, Malakai." Arri noted as she picked up a towel and a bottle of water to wipe the sweat. "Just four doses was enough to transform me into Flossi. And when that was done. An Alindari's disciplined mind created a superior sex slave and whore." She noted. "Malakai, I later researched things to create more Flossi's. Alindari are natural achievers. It's iin our being to be excellent. To ascend and make ourselves the finest we can possibly be... And I made myself the finest Sex Slave I could possibly be when I was broken to Bishop's will." She noted. "However, Bishop is absolutely enthralled with me. I was the one of the few things he could not have, because he's a slave himself. But his chains have more flexibility and reach." She mentioned. "Bishop will lead us to Cragen, as he's the weakest link in their organization. We must speak to Phoenix about this. It is possible we can use the connection between Flossi and Bishop to lure him out. He viewed me as his masterpiece, and he was hesitant to let me go." Arri thought again. "I think given time, he may be more than willing to reacquire me."

At that moment the holodeck doors opened and Kara walked in looking somewhat worse for wear. She'd managed to dose up with anti sickness mess fir playing Karlyn but she didn't want to overdo it. "Morning" She offered a smile as she walked over to Malakai's side even though she felt completely nauseous, "I see you're up early, how are you Arrianna?"

"Good morning sweetheart." Malakai said brightly. "How are you feeling? Arri was telling of a possibility of being able to lure that bastard Bishop out after her and in turn use him to lead us to Cragen and Josie."

"I will require your close assistance, Malakai. I do not want to become Flossi again. But I am both Arrianna and Flossi, I've removed both her influence and the deviant influence within my mind from my being thanks to the Mindpurge I conducted. But if necessary." Arri smiled and spoke in Flossi's Honeyed voice. "I will be more than happy to help my former master get captured by us. I'm sure he can be persuaded to be very cooperative." Arri mentioned. "However... This will be difficult on me."

Kara offered Malakai a shake of the head when he asked how she was, "I've felt better" she offered a brief smile before looking to Arri. "It'll be more than difficult for you, it'll be almost impossible and it'll put you at risk of becoming a slave again. We don't need you being exposed to whatever drug they used on you again.

"Flossi had certain... lewd standards. I'd have to strip again in order for Bishop to believe I was Flossi. If I wear clothes, he won't buy it."

Malakai sighed, "That's true and I don't like putting you back in that position again Arri but since you brought it up, lets explore this more. Okay you'd have to be nude again does that also mean you'd have to be gagged and bound again?"

"Bishop began to trust me enough to manage my own gag when he learned my value. And he knew giving me liberties would only profit him the most. If this is what I must do to find my Josie... I'll do it. However... She looked around. "Flossi must have a master, Bishop knows she is not in any way independent. But I do not thing Phoenix will go for this plan." Arri noted. "Inside, She fears losing me again."

"I can certainly understand Phoenix feeling that way and I don't blame her. However you are the hey Arri. You don't have to do this, I'm sure there are other ways of finding Bishop and getting him to lead us to Cragen and Josie."

"We need a plan Phoenix will approve." Arri noted. "This is a last resort solution, but maybe, I don't have to become her again." Arri motioned to the Holodeck Controls. "If Bishop is interested in Flossi. Then Flossi I will create for him. I'll need a holomatrix for an EMH Mk. IV. I know Flossi well, so If I make a Holographic version. I can configure her with all of Flossi's traits."

"I hate saying this but Bishop isn't a fool or stupid. Won't he know the Flossie you create is a hologram?"

"I know what he expects from her, Malakai. She only needs to lure him into the open. She established some mutual trust with him on the last day she was with them... His pride as an artist was overwhelmed with breaking Flossie. Like he broke a stallion to wild to control. But you may be right. If he suspects for a moment the hologram isn't the true Flossi, he won't go for it." Arrianna mentioned. "Ms. Kara... Are you alright? Do you need any help?"

"I'll take your word for it Arri. I just don't want him to get his hands on you again both literally and figurately." Malakai replied. His attention went instantly to Kara as Arri spoke to her. "Kara? Do you need to lay down? You want me to take you back to our quarters?"

"Kara I think you should lay down. I have Level C emergency medic training from my Starfleet Training, and I'll be able to attend to our crew in your absence." This was Arrianna's Second Officer instinct kicking in. Always so concerned for the crew.

Kara offered a smile, "Thanks Arrianna if you're up for it then that would be great." She offered Malakai a smile. "I'll be okay, I just don't want to overdo it with the anti sickness meds, I'd rather wait until I can see a doctor. If you'd like to walk me home that'd be great."

"I would love to walk you home Kara." Malakai said with a smile, as he looped his arm through Kara's and they turned for the exit. "Don't overdo all this training Arri." He warned her.

Kara looked back. "If you need me please call." She offered a smile.

Arri nodded and slung the tower around her neck, drinking a thermos of water. this was enough for today. As per Kara's recommendations.
