---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You make your way through the mansion's labyrinthine corridors with Maxine at your side, her lab coat rustling as she keeps pace with your longer strides. Her expression is a mixture of scientific curiosity and lingering resentment as you approach the east wing power node.
"I haven't visited Caroline since her installation," Maxine admits, her voice slightly strained. "The dependency network has been functioning at 127% efficiency, so there was no technical need."
You reach the reinforced door marked "Power Infrastructure - Authorized Personnel Only" and place your palm against the biometric scanner. The door slides open silently, revealing a room bathed in soft blue light emanating from fifteen crystalline structures mounted in elaborate fixtures along the walls.
"There she is," Maxine says, pointing to a copper-haired figure suspended in a crystalline matrix near the center of the room. "Power Node C-17. Formerly Dr. Caroline Winters, neurosurgeon at Metropolitan Hospital."
You approach the crystal formation containing Caroline. Unlike traditional power sources, these transformed humans maintain a semi-corporeal form within their crystalline prisons—enough to recognize their former selves, but reshaped into perfect energy conductors. Caroline's expression is frozen in a perpetual state of orgasmic bliss, her mouth open in a silent scream of pleasure.
"Caroline," you announce, your voice reverberating through the chamber. "I've come to check on your status personally."
The crystal pulses brighter in response to your voice, the woman inside shifting slightly as her consciousness acknowledges your presence.
"Status check functioning within expected parameters," Maxine reports clinically, reading data from her tablet. "Orgasm count since installation: 7,412. Power output at 143% of projected capacity."
You smile, placing your hand against the warm surface of the crystal. "I've been informed about your cousin Margaret at Riverside General Hospital," you lie smoothly. "She's scheduled for transformation this evening."
The crystal suddenly pulses with alarming intensity, the blue light flaring into a desperate crimson. Caroline's suspended form contorts within her prison.
"Please... not Maggie..." The voice emanates not from the crystal but through the room's speaker system, a feature Maxine designed to allow communication with the power sources. "She's innocent... never bullied anyone..."
Maxine raises an eyebrow, impressed by the emotional response. "Interesting. Her connection to her cousin is generating a 17% power surge."
You trace your fingers along the crystal's surface, feeling it warm beneath your touch. "I could be persuaded to spare her," you say thoughtfully. "But there would be a price."
"Anything," Caroline's disembodied voice pleads.
"I could disconnect you from the bully communication network," you suggest casually. "Complete isolation. Just you and your thoughts. Forever."
The effect is immediate and dramatic. The crystal's color shifts to a deep, terrified purple, and Caroline's form writhes in obvious distress. The other fourteen crystals in the room pulse in sympathetic rhythm, their occupants feeling her panic through their shared network.
"NO!" Caroline's voice screams through the speakers, the sound so desperate it causes the monitoring equipment to crackle. "Please! No! Not that! Take Maggie! TAKE HER! TRANSFORM HER!"
Maxine watches with scientific fascination. "The dependency is even stronger than I projected," she murmurs, making notes. "Complete social addiction at the neural level."
You smile, enjoying the power you hold over this woman who once tormented your girlfriend. "Maybe I'll disconnect you anyway," you tease, nodding to Maxine. "Just for a minute. Let's see what happens."
Maxine's fingers hover over her tablet. "Initiating temporary network isolation in three... two..."
"NO! PLEASE!" Caroline shrieks, her crystal flashing frantically. "I'LL DO ANYTHING! TRANSFORM MY ENTIRE FAMILY! MY COLLEAGUES! ANYONE YOU WANT! JUST DON'T CUT ME OFF!"
You raise your hand, halting Maxine's countdown. "That's enough. I think Dr. Winters has made her position clear."
The crystal gradually returns to its normal blue glow as Caroline realizes you're not following through with the threat—at least not yet.
"Thank you... thank you..." she sobs through the speaker system, her relief palpable in the energy waves rippling through her crystalline form.
Maxine smirks, making a final notation on her tablet. "Dependency protocol functioning at optimal levels. Should I schedule her cousin for this evening's ceremony?"
"Absolutely," you reply, turning to leave the chamber. "And make sure Caroline gets to watch the whole thing through the network."
