EXTRACT FOR Undercover Bitch (Crimson Rose) 
Could everyone be wrong? Is this nothing more than a place where women can be trained and live lives of submission without being judged? But if that's the case then why are so many people hell bent on labelling The Forsaken as sex traffickers? Anger? Misunderstanding? Shame? Watching Thedora for a long moment, Mandragora eventually left the stall to see an athletically built brunette human woman covered in welts with what appeared to be a fresh bandage on her left breast entering a stall near the entrance. Once again extending the bubble of silence, she dropped onto all fours and then crawled under the door so as to not alert the woman of her presence. Brow raised, she watched the woman crawl to the water dispenser and drink like an animal for several long seconds.
"Continue drinking and listen closely. You are inside of a noise cancellation field and all signals are being jammed so you may speak freely. Lie and you'll soon be dealing with the Council of Reapers. Do you understand?"
The woman slowly nodded.
"Good. I've got questions and I need you to answer truthfully. What is your name?"
"M-My name is Nikki Spade. W-Who are you, ma'am?"
"You may call me Reaper. How long have you been here, Nikki?"
"Almost seven years, ma'am.
"Seven years? How old are you?"
"I'll be twenty-six in two months, ma'am."
"Are the men that kidnapped you here?"
"Kidnapped? What are you talking about, ma'am? I wasn't kidnapped. Like every other woman here I signed up to be trained as a sex slave. I'm here of my own free will."
"Lying is the last thing you want to do right now, Nikki, so I want the absolute truth."
"I'm not lying, ma'am. I'm here of my own free will."
"Then what of women being trafficked and sold?"
"I don't know anything about being trafficked, ma'am, but many of us, myself included, have voluntarily been sold at regular auctions. I've personally been sold sixteen times."
"Selling people into slavery is illegal."
"Not if their willing and getting the bulk of the proceeds, ma'am."
"So, you're saying hundreds, if not thousands of people are lying about The Forsaken being sex traffickers?"
"That's exactly what I'm telling you, ma'am. I've been here nearly seven years. I've seen many women come and go and come again. I've seen thousands of women trained and hundreds sold. Some for as little as a week and others longer than a year, but they all come back happier and better for it. If you don't believe me then instead of hiding in the shadows sign up and see for yourself."
"What of the welts and bandage on your breast?"
"I broke the rules and was disciplined for it. As for the bandage, it covers what will hopefully become scars of said discipline."
"Explain."
"Since the number of swats I was to be given exceeded five hundred they were immediately converted into a body modification. In this case Master Braden saw fit to cut the words rebel slave into my breast and I thanked him for it because that's exactly what I am."
