Tralec!” Troy shouted into the intercom. “It won’t sleep! The gas is no longer working to quiet her.”
    “Tell her that it’s not time to wake yet,” Tralec’s tired voice responded back.
    “Tell Troy to let me up,” Skylar demanded.
    “You are to go back to sleep, young lady. No more lip, hear me?” Tralec’s voice was firm, the intercom making him sound menacing.
    Skylar started, his words making an impact. “But…”
    “Do you want a spanking?” Tralec asked.
    “No, sir,” Skylar whimpered. “I don’t like this dream anymore.”
    “It’s no dream, baby. This is real, and that spanking will be too if you keep up this behavior. Now, go back to sleep.”
    “Fine,” Skylar said into the man’s chest.
    “She is leaking again,” Troy sighed, patting Skylar’s back as she released a torrent of sobs upon him.
    “Let her leak. It is called crying. She still is very confused from the medication and does not realize that this is really happening. It is going to be a shock when she fully comes to her senses.”
    “Where did you learn that speech pattern? She responded immediately to it.”
    “Reading. You’ll catch on quickly, don’t worry.”
    “And the spanking? Do you know how to do it if she does not obey you next time?”
    “Those discs you brought have many moving illustrations of the different techniques. They are very easy to follow. I’ll play them for you when we awaken.”
    “Very well. She’s still leak… crying. What should I do?”
    “It won’t hurt her. Please, just sleep.”
    “Very well. Good repose, brother.”
    “Good repose to you as well, brother. Sleep tight, Skylar. Things will look better in the morning.”
    “What is morning?” Troy asked.
    “When Solaris rises.”
    “It’s already in the sky. How…”
    “It is an expression. I am begging you. Sleep before my gills flare.”
    “We wouldn’t want that,” Troy said, flicking off the intercom switch. “I am serious, Skylar. We never want Daddy’s gills to flare. It does not happen often, but when it does, everyone around disappears very quickly.”
    “Gills? What gills?”
    “Sleep, Skylar. We’ll talk when I awaken.” He used the crisp tone demonstrated by Tralec.
    Skylar stiffened on his chest and then sighed. “Yes, sir. ’Night.”

    The lid to the unit opened automatically when Troy’s body registered restoration. He opened his eyes, immediately aware of the wiggling body on top of his.
    “I need to pee,” she whispered, her face red as he frowned down at her.
    “Let’s get Daddy to help. Tralec? You up?”
    “Lid just opened. I’m on my way in there.”
    Tralec easily lifted the naked girl and turned her to cradle in his arms like an infant. Her limbs were still weak and she could do nothing more than reach with her arms and kick her feet.
    “She has to ‘pee.’ I’m assuming she is referring to elimination,” Troy said, sitting up and hopping out of the cubicle. Skylar’s face paled as she followed his length with her eyes.
    “Holy shit. How fuckin’ tall are you?” she muttered, suddenly alert and aware of her environment.
    “Those phrases are not permitted, young lady,” Tralec scolded, remembering the list of designated profane words posted in her manuals. “Do you need to go potty?”
    “Potty? Do you think I am like three years old? Where is the bathroom?”
    “Your tone has changed. Why?” Troy asked her, touching her chin.
    She jerked from him, her eyes narrowed. “Whatever I said, it was under the influence of drugs. Put me down!”
    “The medication you were given has worked well with initiating your healing, but you still cannot support your own weight well yet, Skylar. It takes a couple of days for the soft tissues to regain their strength,” Tralec said, carrying her to a stationary chair.
    “I’m fine. And… Fuck! Where are my clothes? Oh, my God…” Skylar tried unsuccessfully to cover herself with her arms.
    “You were told to watch
