CHAPTER FOUR

Cor stood at attention in the Admiral’s office. He was still wearing the civilian pants along with a few days’ worth of dirt and grime. Not like usual. Not his uniform neatly pressed. Not his boots. And he preferred to be clean shaven.

He disgusted himself, but it wasn’t only his physical state. It was what he’d done. Exploited a prisoner. Fucked him under false pretenses— which was rape, almost. All under orders by the man in front of him.

“I won’t do it,” Cor said.

The admiral turned back from the window. “What did you say to me, Sergeant Corinth?”

Now that his memory had returned, the weight of that day struck him full force. He’d received the orders to extract information from the prisoner. Normally he would use torture, deprivation, that sort of thing. But the admiral wanted the prisoner’s body left intact. It wasn’t hard to guess why. So they had settled on this plan, to gain his trust. Cor would stage a break out and Lack would lead them to the treasure.

“I said I won’t use him that way.”

The admiral didn’t yell or throw anything. He was calm. Contemplative. That disturbed Cor more than his temper would have. The admiral was not known for taking bad news well. Which meant he had a trump card.

“Would you care to elaborate on why you are aborting your mission and disobeying a direct order?”

Cor stifled a wince. He prided himself on his professionalism. His work ethic. And— something he had in common with Lack— his obedience, at least when it came to military matters.

“Lack isn’t a soldier, sir. He’s just a pleasure slave.”

The admiral smirked. “I know that. I’ve used his services enough to confirm his position. No soldier would be that well trained. Or that pretty.”

Rage tightened his gut. He forced it back, deep beneath the surface where it couldn’t be used against him. Or against Lack.

Something else had surfaced with the full memory of his identity. He remembered the briefing before he was to go into the cell. The admiral had suggested he get roughed up, so as to appear more authentic. A few bruises, scuff marks that would prove he was a prisoner. He’d let Ames take a shot at him. Then another. And another, until Cor had ground his teeth against the desire to fight back. Finally, he’d fallen to the ground, losing his pride and his memory in the quest to be a good soldier.

This was why the Ke’lan liked to pick their academy recruits from the gutter kids. They were tough and desperate for even a gram of fucking approval. Knowing that hadn’t kept Cor from falling for the same shit. But he saw it now, and he didn’t want any part of it.

“Did you intend for me to lose my memory?”

“Not even I could have planned that. It did make things more… interesting. You were supposed to pretend to make nice with him, not actually do so. No matter, we can break him anyway.”

“Why are you doing this?” he asked, adding “sir” as an afterthought.
