Jessie thought she was dead at first. She had opened her eyes and was blinded by an enormous amount of light. Blinking it away she began to piece together what had occurred over the past hours and where she was now. The attack, fleeing out the back of the hamlet, running with a couple others, and then deciding to take shelter in a ruined but shiny building. Something definitely happened while they were in there, but before all of her memories came back terror began to sink in.
She was nude and immobilized. Jessie looked around and realized she was lying down in some kind of tube. Glass covered the front of it and she could see the lights that blinded her in what she assumed was the ceiling. Her hands were next to her head and held down by metal clamps with more of them on her arms, legs, waist, just about everywhere on her body.
Something electronic crackled next to Jessie's head. It cleared up and the sound of footsteps came through what she assumed was a speaker. The sounds stopped the moment a figure appeared over her tube. It was a woman in a surprisingly clean uniform, holding a piece of technology of some kind in her hand.
The woman tapped at the board and more sounds came from Jessie's tube. As they continued Jessie could hear the woman's voice say some things, but probably not to her directly. "This is Dr. Silver, I'm about to begin preliminary procedures on captured wasteland peasant number three. The woman is of average build, bronze skinned, mid-length brunette-"
"Who are you!? What's going on here?!" Jessie shouted at this supposed doctor.
The woman continued describing her, but at the end noted, "Subject is awake and vocalizing distress, as to be expected due to responses of other captured subjects." Jessie continued to shout questions, but the doctor ignored her and focused on tapping on the board. "Beginning preliminary analysis of Subject's nervous system."
Fear struck Jessie as she heard the words. Whatever that entailed must be horrendous. Doc Jacob back home had teached the basics of anatomy, and the nervous system was responsible for everything a person felt. Would it be hot stings? Electrocution? Something worse?
She was perplexed when some kind of mechanical appendage appeared out the side of the tube. It was long, thin, and ended in some kind of circular brush, sort of like the old-world one the woman had used back home for her hair. Before Jessie could think on what it could do to her the brush started to spin and shot towards her abdomen.
