The guard finally wakes up perhaps five or six hours after being discovered but has only very limited memories of what happened to her. This is due either to the method used to render her unconscious in the first place or due to the drug she was given to keep her asleep.Stormtrooper1990 wrote: Wed Jul 30, 2025 2:18 pm
I must admit I too find the concept of a guard being brought into a medical bay in nothing but her undies then interrogated upon waking, interesting and intriguing. I've always meant to add such a scene in my stories as an epilogue but never got around to it. It's something I would definitely consider.
Then imagine someone who can do something like Spock's Vulcan Mind Meld where the person takes control of the woman's mind. The person probes her mind for information hidden in her subconscious. Imagine too the idea that the leaders don't care much about the random guards and use the method even thought the process is rather obtrusive and ends up knocking the poor woman unconscious again.
So the poor guard wouldn't really be much help as a witness to her superiors, probably only remembering the circumstances leading up to the attack but since it was a stealth takeout then she wouldn't remember the woman who did such to her. This allows our intruder to get away relatively clean.
That sounds like a wonderful and intriguing concept, definitely not out of place in a sci-fi setting. What I love in particular is how her superiors have deemed the guard expendable and don't really care what method their psychic investigator uses to get to the truth. Particularly if the woman is put to sleep again, due to the mind melding.
