Synopsis
DESCRIPTION:
In her first week aboard the Starship Dominance, the shy and inexperienced Cadet Jevorah finds herself in a series of deeply humiliating situations. As she struggles to come to terms with the lack of privacy on board, an attempt to save an alien's life changes her forever.
EXCERPT:
The end of Jevorah’s shift came, and the dreaded moment of discipline was upon her. She had no idea what to expect apart from the Intergalactic Navy’s regulations on discipline. There were only two regulations: first, punishment should be appropriate to the misdemeanor; and second, punishment must hurt.
As she entered the Security room, she was surprised to be confronted by the whole security detail standing in a group. They looked really annoyed; after all, they were having to stay late past the end of their shift for this, and nobody ever wants that. She turned red and looked at the ground.
“Cadet Jevorah!” barked Commander Benjamin. Instinctively, she stood sharply to attention.
“Sir, yes Sir!” she shouted.
“You have wasted your team’s time today. You wasted it this morning by turning up late, and you’re wasting it now by making them all stay for your punishment. You really are a selfish little brat aren’t you? You think you’re the centre of the galaxy do you? You’re scum. You’re worse than that, you’re filth.”
“Sir, I...” she began, choking back tears.
“DON’T YOU DARE ANSWER BACK.” The commander bellowed right in her face, then he turned and walked a couple of paces away from her, quietly continuing to speak. “You have infringed Regulation 587, and you are here to be punished. Remove your uniform.”
