Does the thought of one woman controlling another woman's mind thrill you beyond measure? Do your favorite dreams come wrapped in latex or rubber? How do you feel about robots? Here I am. I'm waiting.
This for me at least is becoming somewhat of my favourite weekly series, and i don't limit that to just the MC field, its far more interesting than anything showing on UK TV at the moment. The first 2 chapters had some rather cruel inductions(that I really enjoyed) and did a fabulous job of outlining the tone of the novel and the universe in which its set, this is the first chapter where ive felt we start to see the things begin to twist and will say I’m very eager now for chapter 4. Personally finding myself torn between deciding upon a favourite character, will say I’m fond of the manner of Shara's shift in allegiance and the scene in this chapter between with Shara and burgess was hot ^^ , Wizard however is turning into a fascinating character and i can't wait to see her role play out. What a great cliff hanger as well! Thankyou for taking the time to write this, its splendid
Thank you both! Yes, the story gets very twisty from here on out. That's why it ended up being 11 chapters, instead of the six I originally envisioned. ;-)
Anonymous, I'm really flattered that you rank my series above anything on UK TV right now (As an aside, I've seen commercials online for a UK show about a young man who's a "recovering" zombie, and it's really piqued my curiosity. I wish I had some way to watch it).
Half Shim, it's very funny you should use the term "failsafe," because that concept is going to become very important from here on out...but I'll say more about that!
Whatever happened, Paul wasn't immediately going to be the single-minded willing slave he was set up to be. That would be too easy (and probably a little dull for eleven parts).
It's going to be complex. But why did he awaken? Has he awakened really? (I mean, I think of the mindwiped protagonist of the first story of yours I ever read, who even thought herself she'd broken free right up until she uttered the words "And they've sent me to betray you..." which was the moment when you as a writer, in all your cruelty and deceptiveness, had me completely in your, um, you know.)
It's rare for a writer of this sort of thing to be able to keep up the old hermeneutic tension and I'm excited to see how you will answer these questions.

Very interesting! Sounds like Paul may have built in a fail safe just in case something like this happened!
The plot thickens! Curiouser and curiouser!
I'm still liking it so far...great work!
Wewt, Anon posting.

Expect Chapter 4 to be a nail-biter.
That. last. line.
I as hoping for something like this. It makes the last two chapters so much more satisfying. Good work.
I'm glad. :-) Did you really expect it, though? I'm just curious.
Did I expect it? There's a question.
I think that I expected it not to be so simple.

Hah! No, eleven chapters of happy-slave-Paolo wouldn't be much fun.
You're asking excellent questions about what's happened to him, but I'm sitting on my hands so I won't be tempted to answer them yet. ;-)
