"So.... How do these suppressants work?" I asked while laying on the examination chair, naked.
Mara seed to hesitate, "Even though I say suppressant... It’s not really one. There doesn’t exist a thing that could conveniently suppress an actual Psionic right now, otherwise the Nobles would definitely do everything they can to remove it from existence."
Yeah... I guess they would since that suppressant would basically threaten their positions.
I gave Mara a concerned look, "So what are you doing then?"
She tapped on her personal terminal and one of the robotic arms of the chair popped out with a syringe attached to it.
"Since you aren’t a full Psionic yet and you haven’t awakened, I believe if I slow down parts of your brain, it would decrease the rate that your Psionic energy would be growing."
I widened my eyes and sat up to gape at her, "Wait, wait! Slow down parts of my brain? Isn’t that like... Really dangerous or sothing?!"
"If it was anyone else, I would agree. But since it’s you, Captain, it should be fine."
"No, no, no... What do you an by ’it should be fine’?! There’s no guarantee?! I could be braindead after I get injected by that?"
"Well... In the worst case scenario, you’ll just probably feel sluggish and sleepy, it won’t be that serious."
She tapped on her personal terminal and the syringe was filled with a clear liquid before a needle popped out from the end.
I watched the needle approach , "Umm... You’re one hundred percent positive about this, right?"
"It will be fine, Captain."
Alright... I guess I’ll take her word for it...
I relaxed into the chair again and the syringe approached , taking position beside my neck.
"Stay still," Mara instructed.
I felt sothing spray against my neck for a mont and I’m guessing that was the anaesthetic to numb .
I didn’t even feel the needle prick my neck and I only realised that the procedure was done when I heard the arm retract from and Mara lowering her personal terminal.
"Do you feel any different?" She asked.
Eh? Does it take effect that quickly?
I looked around, trying to see if anything changed with my vision. When nothing looked different, I raised my hands to clench and unclench them, checking if it felt more difficult to move them or not.
For a mont, I felt a little sleepy but that mont passed very quickly which I assud was because of a side effect from the drug or maybe the anaesthesia I was sprayed with.
When nothing felt out of place, I looked back up to her, "I don’t feel any different... Did it not work?"
She pulled up her personal terminal again and tapped a few tis on it before she shook her head, "It looks to that the Psionic energy around you is going down sowhat, so I would say it is working."
As though reacting to that, my clothes slithered across the table to reform around , dressing up again as Renata wrapped herself around my body once more.
"Hmm... It does feel a little different than usual when I’m around Daddy..." Renata comnted.
I looked down, "Wait, you knew all this ti that I had Psionic energy?"
"Of course, Daddy~ I know you the best!"
"And you didn’t say anything?"
"I didn’t think it was weird that Daddy had Psionic energy though? To it was normal."
I guess that makes sense... It’s like I don’t find it weird if Renata had two eyes and then her asking one day why I didn’t tell her that she had two eyes when she finally looked in the mirror.
"Right, so this should fix this, right?" I asked, swinging my feet off the chair as Renata reford my stockings and boots before my feet touched the floor.
"I’ll have to monitor your Psionic levels daily to make sure that it’s working. And if you feel any discomfort or any weird things happening around you, let know right away."
I paused, "Weird things? Like what?"
"Like things floating around you and such. I would suggest that you take a few days off to be safe."
"Well... We’re still on the job aren’t we? You’re not telling to stay in bed are you?"
"I actually am, Captain. It’s not safe for you to be in a combat scenario with that drug in you."
"What’s going to happen?"
"That’s the thing, Captain. I do not know. This has never been done before. In fact, you should be nodding off or falling asleep right now but yet that isn’t happening."
I blinked at her, "Oh... I actually felt sleepy for a mont just now when you asked if anything feels different... But then it passed really quickly so I thought it was just a small side effect or sothing."
Mara looked at with a weird gaze before she lifted up her personal terminal again, prompting so kind of robotic arm to pop out from the side to shine a light beam that scanned from head to toe.
I stayed still for her and waited for her to tell what was going on as the scan completed and she started going over the results on her screen.
"Hmm... The drug is at least still working... Your Psionic levels are lowered and aren’t rising anymore so it’s not like your body has countered the drug... I believe that ’super adaptability’ of yours just helped you mitigate those effects. But yet sohow... Your Psionic levels are also still affected? This doesn’t make any sense... Interesting..."
"Is that bad?" I asked.
"I do not know. It is just... Interesting. Nevertheless, as both your doctor and your lover, I will have to ask you to just stay in the ship for now while I monitor you. It would be best that I am near you in the event of a worst case scenario happening."
"And what’s the worst case scenario?"
"The drug sohow causing your Psionic levels to explosively grow which in turn might cause your body to explode."
I waited to see if she would tell she was joking but she continued to tap away on her personal terminal without another word.
"You’re serious?" I asked.
She nodded, "It has happened before. So Psionics try to raise their own Psionic powers and their own body could not contain it so they exploded and died. Very ssy."
I pointed at her, "Wait... Aren’t you and Amber using those Psionic Crystals that Renata is still giving us to increase your power?"
"There’s a reason why we only do it after a while has passed, Captain, despite the fact that we have so many of them in reserve. We need to give our body ti to adapt to the changes before we can attempt again. If we do it too much too quickly, we also risk such a fate too."
"Right... And just curious... How much have you improved after doing all that?"
"It’s a slow progress, Captain. But I have noticed that I am able to lift heavier things with my telekinesis without as much effort as before."
Interesting.
I looked down at my hands, "So basically... Right now we’re just making sure my body can match up to the amount of Psionic energy I have?"
"That is correct."
"How do you even tell that? Like... What’s the standard? Is there a ratio between Psionic energy and like... Body mass or sothing? Please don’t tell I’m going to get fat..."
"It’s boobs size."
I swivelled my head up to stare at her, only to see Mara smirking at before looking back down at her personal terminal again.
"I’m joking," She chuckled, intentionally pushing out her chest slightly. "We can tell it through your Psionic energy readings, here."
She projected another screen out and it was a picture of a human figure with multiple blue orbs bouncing around inside the figure.
She tapped on the screen, "If the Psionic levels are too high, they tend to do this."
The blue orbs started bouncing even faster and so of them even bounced out of the figure before being pulled back in. It definitely looked like the whole screen was having a seizure or sothing.
"Let guess," I mumbled, pointing at the screen. "That was how it looked like before you got that drug in ? And now it currently looks like the first one with all the orbs bouncing within the boundaries?"
She nodded, "Close, but not that extre. It was showing signs of going in that direction so it’s best to be cautious about it."
"So that’s the short term plan right? What’s the long term plan once my body adapts?"
She shut off the screen and gave a very mischievous smile, "Then... That’s when Amber and I start teaching you on how to use your Psionic powers, Captain."
Oh hell yes!
