Inside the chamber Alicia had spent the entire night being programmed as she slept sedated by the gas that had been pumped in. Her mind was filled with all the information Sthilg had programmed for her to learn, as the counter agent for the gas was pumped in she started to stir.

The pod began to drain as it slowly hissed open. Sthilg himself was there looking gleefully at her. " Good morning my dear. Ready for another day's training."

Alicia looked up at her master, gone was the weak uncertain woman of the day before. “Yes Master!”

" Good." he said purring as he did so as the shackles unbuckled. " We have a lot of work to do."

Alicia stood but waited for her master’s order to move. “What would you like me to do master?”

" Eat to get your strength up." The lizard said pointing to the table with another bowl of the slave gruel and an energy milkshake.

Alicia nodded, walking over to the table she sat down and ate hungrily. There were no complaints about the food this time. She ate until all the gruel was gone, before picking up the shake and drinking it.

" Very good my dear." The slavemaster said with a grin. She was being far more cooperative. " How are you feeling? Ready to make me proud."

Finishing her shake Alicia nodded. “I feel ready master, what would you like me to do?”

" More training. Did the imprinting of physical training work?" The lizard inquired

Alicia paused to think before nodding. “Yes master, I will make you proud of me.”

" Good. We will do the assault course again. I want you to beat your previous best do I make myself clear?" He said his tone dropping into a cold featureless tone.

“Crystal master” Alicia nodded. Heading to the course as she did before she didn’t pull any punches as the course lay ahead. This time she didn’t hang about, clearing the entire course in record time compared to the prior day, barely breaking a sweat in the process.

" Very good my dear." the gorn said from the finishing line as he recorded her time. " Seven per cent faster than yesterday."

“Thank you master!” Alicia nodded as she stood before the Gorn. “What would you like me to do next?”

" Again. " He said indicating her to run it once more.

Alicia nodded and set off on the course again. The effort she put in compared to the previous day was astoundingly different. Taking the course in record time she returned to her master’s side.

"Very good my dear. " The slavemaster said as she crossed the finishing line. " We will be moving onto weapons training now." He said and turned without a word.

Following on obediently Alicia walked a step behind her master just like an obedient slave should. “What weaponry would you like me to use Master?”

" Standard terran empire ones for the moment." The slave master replied as they arrived at a set-up weapons range. " Start with the pistol." He said nodding towards the weapons bench.

Alicia nodded. Stepping up to the pistol she picked it up, checked it over, and made sure it was loaded before taking it to the firing range to practice.

The gorn nodded as she began firing. Her aim would take work that was for sure. " Continue." was his sole command.

Putting down the pistol, Alicia picked up another weapon to practice with. Taking this one over it didn’t make for perfect practice as she struggled with the recoil effect.

" Tuck the stock into your shoulder and press it in deeply. " the slave master instructed.

Alicia nodded and did as instructed, her aim was better but it still left her reeling from the kickback of the weapon. “I’m going to need more practice with this one master.” She looked towards Sthilg.

" Indeed you are. Keep trying." The gorn replied calmly.

“Yes master!” Alicia nodded and kept practicing, it was going to take time to perfect use of this one.
