Vanilla felt sheer terror as she was taken down towards the device. Robot tentacles held her arms and legs fast, but she still tried to fight against their strong grip.
"Let me go! Please don't do this!" She begged in vain - And she knew it
'I'm wasting my breath, he won't show mercy now! I'm doomed!'
Even as she struggled against the steel tendrils, and tears filled her eyes, she hadn't given up entirely yet. She was still fighting, even if she knew deep down it was a futile effort. But she had motivators.
'I have to get out. I have to stay me. I have to make sure Cream is safe!'
When she had been captured she had lost track of Cream, and she feared for her daughter. Was she safe? Was she captured too?
She was now inside the large device, and the tendrils pinned her to a metal table. There were two doors: One at the top that had allowed her to be dropped in, and one for her to walk out.
Except as she felt her arms and legs become binded to the table, she knew it wouldn't be her walking out that door.
'Oh Cream... I'm so sorry... Sorry I was so stupid and got captured. I hope you're safe...'
One of the tendrils gave her an injection, and she felt woozy.
'This... Must be the roboticisation. An injection... Making me sleepy... '
It was not, as she had thought, the injection that would transform her.
Her captor had a more cruel fate in store for her... and for whomever came in as her would-be rescuer.
Vanilla's final thoughts were to be interrupted. A few hours after she was put into a deep sleep, another injection awoke her partially from it, putting her into a confused state of half-slumber, half-awareness

It stared down at it's master, able to see through the smoke. This was "Crem". This was it's reason for being.
