Jill In Space III
A Detective Chronicles Story By Mad Max - Photo By The KidnapHer

As the short alien led Jill towards an escape pod, he told her the whole story of why she was in this vessel
orbiting the Earth.  The tall aliens, like the one who had lured her into this nightmare, were called
Gorgonzalens--- feared all over this part of the galaxy as slavers. Her companion was a Wachalingli---
one of the many races that had been preyed upon by the Gorgonzalens over the years, treated with brutality.
 "Warn your people" he murmured as he led the Earth woman to safety. Jill thought back to her girlish
dreams of being a heroine who escaped danger; maybe she would be a real life heroine after all!

But they were both shocked when they turned the last corner. No doubt they had set off a silent alarm,
and in front of them were a crowd of Wachalingli--- and five uniformed Gorgonzalen guards. 
Thinking quickly, Jill looped some rope over her guide's neck. "Pretend you're my hostage" she whispered,
 then loudly demanded that they let her pass or take the consequences. Without hestitation, the
commander of the security squad leveled his weapon--- and blasted the Wachalingli! Jill screamed
and sank to her knees, frantically trying to staunch the purplish liquid oozing out of his wounds. 
"What have you done? Help him, help him" she moaned, but the Gorgonzalen actually stepped on the
wounded creature's chest as he injected Jill with some sort of drug.  She didn't hear the murmur of
distress from the gathered Wachalingli as she slumped unconscious to the floor. 

When she woke up, Jill would have gagged on the foul odor that surrounded her--- if she hadn't already
been gagged. And she couldn't cover her mouth and nose because her arms were tightly lashed
behind her. The nude beauty tried to move, but found she couldn't shift even an inch. Her feet
were chained to what looked like an engine, and her legs were strapped to a metal rod that held
her upright and stationary.  "Good, you're awake, let the punishment began" boomed a flat
voice over the loudspeaker. "Resistance is futile, escapes will not be tolerated" it continued. 
"You are in our recycling center; watch how we take out our trash."

In front of her, Jill could see some kind of dumpster full of debris. Suddenly, a panel in the ceiling opened and a kind of cone began to descend. Inside, Jill could see hundreds of blades whirling around at a fantastic rate of speed. Her eyes widened as she understood and watched the cone slowly chop the discarded material into tiny pieces. She was next!

Frantically the helpless woman began writhing against her bonds, but she found not one bit of slack in the
ropes that contained her. The noise from the cone was deafening, the smell was intense, but when it was all
over and the cone retracted towards the ceiling, the floor underneath Jill began to move. It was a conveyor
belt, and soon she was in position. Jill's struggles slowed as she realized there was no hope of escape. 
She resolved to die with dignity, showing these monsters what Earth Girls were made of.

But it was going to be hard to keep up her resolve. The horrible sound as the blades began to whirl,
the smell of the previous load, her utter helplessness as she struggled despite herself... Jill fought
back her sobs, not noticing the other sound--- some type of tumult coming over the loudspeaker. 
The cone dropped closer, closer... it had been well above her head, now it was just inches. Should she
try to bend away from it, buy another minute, or stand tall and hope she would lose consciousness quickly?
 As she pondered this awful choice, the machine--- stopped. 

The helpless beauty caught her breath--- was it a reprieve? did they intend to taunt her before
finishing her off? Jill's mind raced, baffled, until a new voice boomed over the speaker. 
"We'll have you free in no time" it assured her, as the cone began to retract. "Wachalingli
all over the ship heard how you cared for our brother. We've killed all the Gorgonzalens
and are setting all your people free. You'll be home in no time"

And I'll be a Heroine, Jill thought to herself.
