Slappin Down the Slave Slingers: I

Slappin Down the Slave Slingers: I

"Wake up damn it before they get here!"

She was trying revive her partner in the only manner she knew. It was crude but effective. Renna II's hand was planted firmly between Dofa's legs.

Dofa sighed and groaned, "Huh!?"

Dofa woke up and Renna II was ready with a 50% solution of the best distilled planet water she could find and pure grain alcohol; the finest she had. Dofa floated to consiousness and Renna II opened the IV bag filled with it. Dofa felt Renna II's hand and the alcoholic solution both surge through her body. Under better circumstances the alcohol pulsating through her and Renna II's hand would have made for a fine Sunday afternoon. Renna II's voice however had an urgency to it; reserved only for emergencies.

"What happened to me?" she said. "Why is half of my body lasered up?"

---

Dofa noticed the excellent work of the surgeons.

Renna II rolled her eyes up, "Oh god...I can't go through that with you now." she said.

Renna II was frowning. Her forehead creased deeply, "You just need to understand that getting out of here is most important."

Dofa knew what this meant. She knew very well. The alcohol was clearing her senses and she felt the drugged stupor she was in fade away. She was glad the knuckle-dragging idiots had morphed her physiology and metabolism. Otherwise laying there getting drunk while recovering would have only been an impediment.

Renna II was serious, "The presence of the Slave Slinging gangsters are very near." Renna II said.

"Who are they?" Dofa said. "And how did you find out about them?"

"I can explain" Renna II said, "but not here. Time's wasting away you bitch lets go!"

Renna II helped her disconnect and get dressed then the two of them hand-in-hand walked out of the floating hospital ship and into their vehicle unnoticed by anyone.

"You see, you went to investigate a murder as a favor for Jenda the Inspector General. You walked through a door and set off a trap. The person murdered was a sex slave trader."

"The stiff happened to be bait and you were the catch."

Dofa remembered this through the fog of events. She entered through a doorless shack that most of these people lived in and was heading for the monitor. The last thing she remembered was a loud pop.

Renna II raised her eyebrows, "I think we should go there." Renna II said. "No one will be looking for us there."

She was being sly. "I'm sure you'll want to take a look for yourself. Afterwards we'll find a place that is more private." Renna II tacked on a grin after saying that.

Renna II was butch, wore antique bib overalls and a red flannel shirt. Dofa on the other hand was bi-curious at best and always wore little. This arrangement made for interesting off-duty time for both of them.

Dofa grimaced, "My fucking bioleg is not up to speed yet." Dofa said. It would start twitching any minute. Dofa grabbed the bioleg knee and steadied herself.

The Muler

Muler appraised his situation. He knew they were not on the hospital ship any longer. The key was to pinpoint where they might be.

He addressed his minions, "It shouldn't be too hard, you morons".

"These two lesbians are a fucking pain in the ass."

His lieutenants, sycophants that they were, all nodded in trained unison. The Muler chuckled at them in a condescending way.

"Get a location on these two bitches right away or I'll stuff you in the oven and have you for a snack."

"Yes sir!" one of the goofy ones said. The goofy bastard saluted too.

"I'll start with you fuck head!" Muler said.

Muler had made it clear that the dumb fuck would either put up or shut up. One way or the other there was an endless supply of fuck head lieutenants; eager to satisfy whatever he wanted. He wanted the lesbians put away. They were prying into their affairs to closely.

"I want them alive" Muler said, "and in good condition. Lesbian slaves will fetch a good price or entertain us on the wheel." The lieutenants liked the idea of the wheel.

Muler paused for a thought or as close as a Slave Slinger would come to though. "Make sure you take the rechargeable reamers." he said. "But I don't want them damaged."

Then one of the lackey lieutenants bounded up to him. "We have their location."

----

Dofa and Renna II approached the shack with caution. "I remember this." Dofa said. "We need to find all the monitors. We need to view the main one. It should tell us what we stumbled into." Renna II agreed.

"But what if they loaded it with garbage?" Renna II said.

Dofa inspected the threshold. "Doesn't matter...no one is perfect."

"If what you tell me is true," she said, "these scum may not be too bright but they are resourceful."

Dofa remembered everything she was taught. One of those precepts were to never forget why your enemy was so successful. "We should never underestimate these fuckers. They might surprise us and teach us some things we don't know."

Dofu stepped inside and let her training take control. She immediately zoomed in to where the monitor was embedded in the wall that was still standing. The building was still smoldering from the earlier blast.

She turned the monitor on. Renna II stood guard and was impatient.

After she viewed the monitor for a minute she turned it off. "Let's go." she said. "I've seen enough to know what we are up against and what we need to do. I know who this is." Not wanting to stay a minute longer they left.

They had been watched.

Getting Injected

Despite this world's barrenness, the spot the two were at was refreshing. It was one of the few places with a tree or two. "I'd like to cut those fuckin' trees down." Dofa was pissed.

Dofa caught Renna II injecting herself with a protein-based liquid. The sudden injection made her sigh. "Damn!" she said. "This new stuff has a quick kick to it." The first 30 seconds or so always made her feel light. The exact effect she desired. Dofa wondered why Renna II kept up this charade. "Why do you always ruin it by doin' that?"

Renna II was about to answer. Then there was a slight unease they both felt when from nowhere (it seemed), their vehicle was surrounded by Slingers. They were carrying rechargeable reamers. They were ordered out of the vehicle and to not waste any time doing so.

Dofa stepped to the outside. Her bioleg then landed on the leg of the Slave Slinger standing next to her. She was satisfied when she saw its leg go flying off into the distance and it crashed to the ground. Two of the other Slingers bolted to either side of her and grabbed her by her ankles. Before she realized it she was upside down. One of the two Slingers had poised the reamer next to one of her openings. They were ready to turn her guts to jelly in a matter of seconds.

Even though the lasering had not completely healed, she made a thrashing movement with her bioleg and sliced off the arem of the Slinger holding the reamer. It began screaming in a language she couldn't understand. The other Slinger reacted with instinct and tryied reaching for the reamer. Dofa brought around her bioleg and with its ferocity smashed the other Slinger. He lost his grip and Dofa was freed.

She calmed her mind and looked around. All she saw around her were two writhing, slimy Slave Slingers. She couldn't let them live. No one would notice their absence anyway.

Dofa picked up the weapon, activated it and proceeded to ream the wounded Slave Slingers turning them to jelly.

Dofa looked around for Renna II and saw that she had been taken captive. The vehicle was speeding off to the horizon. Renna II was hanging upside down from the Slave Slinger's vehicle.
