[The Banshee]

ooRP Reminder: There has been some RP lost due to the forum rollback. This post is set after that roleplay, might therefore look somehow disconnected.

Worn out by at least three hours of psychological warfare on multiple fronts against this woman at least thrice her age, Banshee was relieved to have her facade maintained - but now she needed a break. Time to recover her mental reserves. To overthink the information she received, and time to get away from here, back into safe space. Newport was never intended to be a permanent solution for this prisoner problem, and even if command hadn't sent orders yet, logic dictated to head for home space.
What she could not afford was to give her captive that time. No recovering for the prisoner. Giving her only a few conscious moments until the next interrogation, ideally none, was mandatory to keep up the pace.

Almost regretfully, Banshee pulled up the syringe. A sedative, usually used to give Agents the final sleep - it was strong enough to kill an ordinary human. Maybe just enough to incapacitate a cardamine user. In theory. But desperate situations called for desperate measures.

She turned around to her captive, mustering her from her superior position. No doubt, this rebellious monster would have done the same to her. Blood was dripping from Nishis mouth, and she injected the drug as fast as she could, glad that her prisoner didn't look up to see the pity in her eyes. As Nishi's conscience faded away, the Agent was already starting to pack up the gear scattered around the table.

The whole endeavour hadn't taken long. As her fightercraft vanished into the blue glooming clouds of Sigma-13, Banshee, having secured her prisoner in the sealed cargohold, tore off her mask with a silent scream. This was torture, for both of them, and whoever won this battle of minds would have a serious impact on the fate of the other. And as her despair and pity made place for the conditioning and training of the Order yet again, a determination and calmness soothed her heart once again. She would not be losing this fight. She would not disappoint.
