Shan wanted the next staff member to be properly trained, using the same techniques that had conditioned Ellen, which meant she would need to be kept isolated for a fairly long period, as well as in complete sensory deprivation apart from the flashing lights and the audio.

The trouble was the Medical Bay was always being needed, either for fixing injuries that girls had caused to themselves trying to remove their uniforms or for some of the women from the care home that needed regular treatment.

In the end, Shan phoned an old friend of hers.

“Mandy, can I leave someone with you for a while?”, she asked.

“Sure”, Mandy replied. “Short stay, or total immersion?”

“Total”, Shan replied. “She’s going to take a month or so to programme…”

“OK, no problem,” was Mandy’s reply. “I owe you big time anyway.”

Mandy had been an ‘exotic dancer’ and had a drug problem (which her boyfriend used to control her) when she had been taken by Shan walking home one night.

Shan hadn’t been able to understand why Mandy was so happy to be dressed in latex, hooded and turned into an Asian girl. She only realised that something was wrong when Mandy started going through ‘cold turkey’, and a further inspection showed she had been violently raped.

Shan had made it possible for Mandy to speak, and the two women had talked for ages; Mandy was quite incoherent at times, screaming for a ‘fix’, saying that Shan couldn’t understand…

Shan called Jai in. Jai also sat with them, and Mandy realised that Jai still missed smoking, but would never go back to it.

Gradually, Mandy became more understandable and gradually calmed down. She then hugged Shan.

“Thank you for helping me kick the habit. As I was forced into drugs in the first place, I won’t be going back to them. Now, tell me about this operation of yours…”

Shan gave Mandy a tour, explaining what went on at Samoto. Then she turned to Mandy and asked her if she would like to work for her.

“When can I start?”, was the reply…

====

Mandy had been set up in a flat across town, with a spare bedroom.

The doors looked ordinary, but they were steel lined, and they would open only when the keys and a specific RFID chip were nearby. Shan had one, and the other was built into Mandy’s suit.

All the flat looked quite normal, there was the usual setup, and a spare bedroom with just a large single bed in it.

When Mandy or Shan’s thumbprint pressed on a specific part of the bed, however, a compartment slid out from the storage area under it. This compartment had a large amount of soundproof padding, and a person shaped outline, so someone could be laid in bed in the compartment, and it sealed shut.

Tubes were included for feeding and waste, as well as some invisible vents for air (the air circulation was arranged such that no noise could be heard from the ‘occupier’…

Lockable straps went over the user, as did a transparent cover. This meant that any person in the unit could be inspected by opening and closing the compartment without their knowledge, as they were always hooded.

All Shan had to do now was find the occupier…

====

Shan decided she fancied a challenge, as well as someone who was incredibly fit.

Luckily, the compartment in the bed would accept a 6’+ woman, so the one she had in mind would fit perfectly.

Lt. Col. Shannon James was holidaying in the area, nearing retirement from the Air Force.

She was only 42, but her white hair made her look older, and she was only retiring because she was too tall to fit in jets anymore (she was 6’ 5”), and she didn’t want a ground assignment. Her superiors had let her leave, with the ‘grateful thanks of the American Nation’.

She was still deciding what to do instead when Shan and Stacey came up behind her…

She awoke in darkness, lying down.

She tried to sit up, but something stopped her.

What the hell?

Oh god, she was strapped down! Had there been an accident, or something?

There was a click, and the first of the programming tapes started playing in her ears.

At the same time, the lights in her eyes started.

She tried to yell out, but something was in her mouth.

At the same time, the vibrator in her pussy (a present from Shan) started up…

It was only after Shan started Shannon’s processing that she realised she’d made a terrible mistake…

People of Shannon’s height were rare in their area, and American people of her height with white hair were even rarer…

Shan realised that she’d have to arrange some additional ‘materials’ for Shannon.

She also went over to Mandy’s that evening, and modified the programming tapes…

She next got an African bodysuit ready, one of the special ones that changed the person’s skin, as well as an ‘afro’ curly hair brunette wig to match. She also started setting up the backstory…

A ‘press release’ stated that a past Nigerian Olympic ladies team trainer, Nathalie Unara, was proud to accept the post of Physical Training Instructor at Samoto, to help keep the otherwise disabled girls in good physical condition.

A paper trail was established showing Nathalie coming into the country, as well as one showing Shannon leaving for ‘parts unknown’ (she was well known for doing that on occasion, and the Air Force were comfortable with her retiring early, so they didn’t raise any alarms).

All this time, Shannon’s programming was continuing. She had forgotten her name, who she was, what she was, and she just screamed continuously into her gag each time she woke up until she passed out from exhaustion.

Shan arranged with Mandy to sedate her, and the two women removed her from her ‘bed’.

All her hair was removed, leaving her bald all over. She was then sealed into the dark-skinned suit…

As part of the programming, Shannon now had a strong Kenyan accent and only spoke English with difficulty. The fittings and adaptions in the hood made sure of that…

She could understand English, also with a little difficulty as she was now partially deaf (supposedly due to a sports injury). She was also familiar with the sign language used at Samoto.

‘Nathalie’ was locked back into her bed, and the new personality was programmed into her…

A week later, the semi-conscious Nathalie was left on a seat at the airport, out of sight of any of the security cameras, just after her flight was supposed to have come in.

Shan and Mandy then collected her from the airport.

Nathalie started at Samoto the same day.
