Subliminal Shock and Master control

Master: *he walked away from the scene, having dealt with Rocky, he returned quickly and lounged in the area he was lounging in when Rocky decided to try and pick his pocket, placing his TCE back in his pocket as he was lost in thought, trying to think how he could lure that girl (Bloodshock) to him again, and get her to trust him... a spy on Earth would be incredibly useful after all, it gave him an edge over Scorscha once they had conquered Arcadia*

Bloodshock: *She steps from the restaurant, onto the busy street. It had taken a long time but she had finally remembered her name, though not its significance and found a job...in fact a couple jobs and was trying to save enough money to move from the shelter. With a sigh she turns her steps towards the shelter she called home*

*he stepped away from the wall, revealing himself once again, seeming to be just the kindly man he had been revealed to be last time, or so it would have seemed to the casual observer... and he spoke* Hallo again... you have been well I trust? *he had actually been spying on her for some time, preparing for the right time to make his move, his dark eyes had missed little... his dark shape had not been seen by many... not really... seen yes... but taken in? Recognised? Not in the slightest...* Fancy seeing you here..

*The streets of Georgetown were jammed as with the usual rushhour crowd and she was tempted to stroll down by the canal and check out some shops on M street on her way as she turned a corner, going up the hill, north* *She literally skidded to a halt, her brows furrowed in consternation*.....er...hello....yes...i have been much better than i was thank you...*she studies you closely, aware of much more then she was the first time she had met you, not as....confused, though still without her memory of before the fight. She relaxes slightly, seeing that they were near one of the busy streets, thinking she was not really alone with you*...yes..*she smiles faintly* it is a ....surprise...

*the Master just waved his hand briefly as he looked at her, not even /trying/ to hypnotise her, not that it was the busy streets that stopped him... if America was the one place where you could get away with killing people quite easily, this city in particular was great like that... it had the most corruptible men in 20th Century Earth, and they were all in positions of power... positions that would soon be placed with his own men... and he had /killed/ in such a busy street before, without anything being done about it, part of it through hypnosis, part of it as 'don't get involved and you'll live' mentality... and a great part of it through the horrific way he killed...* You have been well since we last met I trust?

*she had been stuck in this city for months now, and glamorous as it may seem was heartily bored of the street life and her struggle just for a good job and place to live...she looked at you in somewhat of a new light because of that and shrugs* ....yes...ive been fine ...*she frowns, curiousitly had been eating away at her since she had last seen you warring with suspicions she hardly dared to believe*.....the last time...what did you do? What kind of ship did you have? ....

*unlike the Doctor, he had no qualms with telling about his TARDIS, if it suited his aims, and as he intended to use her anyway he saw no reason to hold back* That my dear was the TARDIS... *meanwhile his powerful mind was probing at her mind, trying to pick up a name... he WAS meant to be her 'friend' after all... and it would do no good if she discovered he didn't know her name...*

*She blinked, her suspicions growing* ...you are not from the American military are you? ..*her mind, though there is a paculiar buzzing, as of static, is open, without any blocks or shields of any kind*

The American Military? *he can't help but laugh... especially given that he spoke in quite a cultured English accent...* The American Military /wish/ I worked for them.. *not precisely true.. the American Government... like the Governments of about half-a-dozen other countries at this time period... and many more at different time periods... had him as one of the most wanted men.. time... after time.. after time.. unfortunately.. no-one had ever gotten a good view of the Master... whilst the Doctor swore he knew what he looked like, various people were suspicious... but anyone that actually found out... their shrunken corpse was usually found the next day..... picking out her name from her mind, he nodded to himself, not visibly, and was happy.. that would prove useful.. and his skilled mind withdrew, most likely without her ever realising he'd probed her..*

ahh...*she rocks back on her heels* ...so you say...so where did you get your TARDIS machine? *indeed, she is actually a bit deaf to mental probes, her mind constantly a bit numbed by the static that flickers out in her mind. Though she had learned to live with it..*

I invented it myself.. *well he modified it... the only one with any sort of armory... the only one where the telepathic circuits could not be used to trace him when he used them...* Listen Britney, perhaps we should retire somewhere where we can talk safely.... this is scarcely the sort of thing to be discussing in the middle of the street...

*At the use of her name, her eyes widen in surprise and she nods, impressed*....alright..that is an empressive achievement.........there is a little park near here...commuters usually dont go there, even to pass through..its a quiet place we could talk....*she blushes slightly as she looks back at you* ...im sorry....i dont remember your name..

*he nods lightly.. he knew of the park of course... and gave a quick smile* You have had amnesia... it is understandable you don't remember my name. It is Professor Emil Keller. *The alias had served once... it would again... though he was aware that anyone high enough up in Government would be aware that it was the name of one of the most dangerous criminal Masterminds in Earth of this century... he doubted she'd know... not if her reaction when she believed him to be a part of the American Military was any indication... and if it was... he'd just convince her that he was the *real* Professor Emil Keller...*

*She frowns and tries to make herself remember* Professor Keller? *then she sighs and shakes her head* i might as well admit it....that is the truth *she sighs heavily, walking into the park and flopping down listlessly on the stone bench. Then she stiffens,and looks up at you hopefully*....then if you know me...you must know where i belong...

*that was an obstacle he had not counted on... but he smiled... he knew a way around it...* With amnesia it is best if the patient recovers memory herself... I COULD tell you where you belong... but truly, it is best if you recover it yourself.. *she did need to recover her memory in the end though... otherwise she would not be much use to him... though he planned on hypnotising her first... planting false memories of him... and also.. and this would be the subconscious suggestion.... she would serve as a spy for wherever she belonged... report things of interest to him... she wouldn't be able to help herself.. but all that was in the future.. as he remained standing whilst she sat down... he liked to remain standing himself.. gave him a feeling of power.. which unlike for some people.. was not a 'security blanket'*

*she sighs impatiently* ....what?! you mean to say that you wont help me?....Here im working by ass off just trying to survive here....when in my other life...i may have friends and family who miss me..it cant be THAT important!

It CAN be that important... me just telling you... you'll feel no connection to your friends in your other life.... you'll feel nothing for it. It is not you.. it is some stranger that had your body... *he then gave a light smile* Have you ever considering going to a hypnotist? They could possibly dig out the truth under hypnosis for you... so you WOULD remember... *indeed.. the Master could do it himself... even if many hypnotists could not...*

*She sighs in dejection, then leans back slightly squinting up at you against the lowering afternoon sun*....a hypnotist? ....i dont know....i never thought of that....hypnotists are expensive....and welfare doesnt cover them.....besides, why should they be any better than being told?

*he gave a light smile* Because they can get you to remember... and with memories comes the feeling of belonging... of connection... and thus, you WOULD get that connection.. of course, that all depends on you wishing to do that... *except with him of course...*

yes...well whether i wish it or not doestn change the fact that I cant afford it....*she shrugs* sure im willing to do it...IF i had the money...*she sighs*

Are you really? *he gave an inquiring raise of the brow* For whilst not the best in the business, I'm quite a handy hypnotist myself... and could do it for free...

Her eyebrows go up in surprise*....you would do that for me? I...didnt know that you could do it...*she nods and smiles*...yes....please..i am ready...*she sits up straight, as if getting ready and watches you closely*

Very well... don't struggle... *and he stared into her eyes, his will crashing down on hers... seeking to place her in a hypnotic trance... whilst he WOULD give her back memory... that was just not all he'd do* You remember me...

*Her eyes grow wider as she feels your will on her, she blinks uncertainly, her instincts screaming at her to beware, and she stiffens*.....w-wait a minute...*though with out any kind of mindblock there is little she can do really to resist you*...i....yes...from before...

*in all reality, a strong enough will was much more useful to resisting the Master than mental shields... but at least at first she had asked him to do it.. so that gave him an edge... and he spoke* Just relax... I am your friend... *his will bearing down on hers, he in fact /did/ try and bring her buried memories to the surface where both he... and her... would be able to know about them...*

*Frightened for a moment, she takes a deep breath and lets it out, trying to remember, and winces as some faint memory of the battle emerges, then she blinks in confusion and that immage is gone, replaced by the pictures of some of the other Hunters she knew* hmmmm.....*she frowns thoughtfuly*

*he nodded thoughtfully, picking up the images about the battle and the other hunters... and he took it all in, memorising it... it could prove useful... whilst she continued to remember under his guidance, he implanted false memories of old times with Professor Keller... he had nothing to do with the hunters, that was certain... he was normal... if incredibly intelligent.... and a good friend of Bloodshocks... though she mustn't tell others about him.... they might become jealous of her... or try to kill him out of anger...*

*She blinks at this last thought, wondering why anyone would be so angry at you, especially her friends. Soon tears of outrage and sorrow cloud her eyes as she remembers many of her friends killed or injured in the fighting*

*they just did not understand the Professor... he was considered an eccentric by some... he ignored all this though... but that was why his presence must be kept secret... but now... that was all important... here was the most important coming up.. he continued to bring back her memories... and then... he prepared... he prepared to seize her... his willpower built up... he prepared to attempt to seize control..*

*She smiles at the memories of her good friend Professor Keller, ignorant of any reason she really should be wary, she wonders how she could have forgotten or suspected you and sighs, her defences down, glad that she let you help her*

*and then... he slipped in her orders.. THESE would not be remembered later...* You are to be my spy for your friends. You are to report to me on anything you think I might find of interest... Once a month, you are to return to me, in this street, for an update. I am the Master.... and you will obey me...

*She blinks, trying to understand how her fine friend would say such a thing, trying to refuse the orders. She shakes her head at the inconsistancey*....huh? i...i dont understand.....

*by now, she had little choice... she had willingly undergone the hypnosis... it took an incredibly strong willpower to resist anyhow... and besides, she wasn't really /hearing/ his orders as such... only her subconscious mind was hearing them... once hypnosis had been begun... it was even more difficult to resist... that was why you never let the Master begin...*

*Finally, her eyes seem to glaze over as she goes back under your power and she nods*....yes...i will do as you say...*she says dully*

*he nods slowly* Excellent.... your orders are implanted.... when my fingers snap you will remember everything.... except your orders... *and he snapped his gloved left hand*

*She blinks slowly, coming out of her trance and she looks at you, smiling*....ohh! ....wow! what am i doing here? *she sways a bit, slightly dizzy with the new knowledge and tries to use the implant but frowns as she recieves nothing but an annoying buzz. She shakes her head and mutters* ...it must be broken...

*he gave a smile* Well, Britney perhaps we should get you home then? I'll pay for any tickets you may need to purchase... I still have some unfinished business here..

A-alright....thank you very much! *she sits up, hoisting a heavy backpack that contained all her posessions and looks at you* ....alright...i am ready now...though you must let me pay you back...

*he nodded* Yes... you can pay me back... *and he gave her a large sum of cash... at least for her it would be... the Master didn't bother paying for much, so for him it was nothing... especially as he could find cash easy enough* There you are.. think of it as a loan... *although he thought of it as an investment...*

*Her eyes open wide a she receives the money*....no....wait...i cannot accept this from you.....*she sighs* and stuffs the cash in her pack quickly* very well...i will try to pay it back*

*he nodded* Farewell for now Britney... till next time... *which if his programming was complete... would be next month...*

*she sighs, a bit exasperated and uncertain, then smiles* ..very well...next month..farewell..*then she turns towards the direction of the airline office*
