The Imperium that now held Alicia Li'Wye was far different from the one that had captured her. Now she would find herself in the grasp of the dark gods; of the forces of Chaos, who watched with growing glee as Chronos; Dakr Sorcerer of Tzeentch and Sith Lord; had inflicted torture after torture....With no luck in breaking the womans spirit...While inflicting great misdeed upon her body. Upon a ship, headed for the homeworld of Chronosia Prime, and the black dungeons that awaited her there; Alicia was to be confronted with the truth, that she would soon meet the Daemon Emperor of Chronosia.

Chronos strode into the chamber and smirked at her; still in chains, still bound to the torture device, as he moved forward.
"Little Alicia...Are there any secrets that shall pass from you to me yet?" He watched her, eyes hawk like.
"Don't make me hurt you again....As I hurt you before; as I hurt your people...As I shall be forced to do again..." He hissed; vile ichors leeching from the gaps in his armor; his eyes bright and burning, terrible and wonderful to behold.
"I have been patient with you, little King; I have tried to reason with you, yet you will not listen...I try to persuade you, but time and again you chose the road of Pain....It matters not; in the end...I will triumph. No will or mind is forever....nothing is eternal in integrity or strength. I will break you."

"You really suck at this..." Alicia responded quietly after a while, eyes closed. On reflection, which she had plenty of time for after Chronos left, these guys were incompetents. You couldn't hurt someone capable of shutting down her peripheral nervous system. There was the dull knowledge of broken limbs and destroyed tissues, but that's all it was.

"Do we?" Chronos chuckled lightly; moving forward. "We'll soon break you little king...You have..." He paused, hissing "Things in you; things that protect you, insulate you, against pain and weakness. What if I was to remedy that" He looked at her and reached out with his hand; stretching forward with the force; bending it, manipulating it through the dread sorceries of Tzeentch, forcing his mind and telekinetic force power through to her; attempting to reach inside and find things he could pull...And twist.
This would be fun.

It started as a burning sensation, then disappeared. Whatever Chronos was doing, wouldn't mean anything good for her, but..since she couldn't do anything...

He let go; ceasing his toying with her nanites and inner workings.
"Do you know how much time has passed, little king? While we travel in the warp; countless years may have passed outside....Or days may seem as years; time has no meaning here...In fact" He sent another surging bolt of lightning through her. " I think I could toy with you forever; playing with you...It is such fun to have one who resists us; one who does not yield blindly to pain and fate. I will break you unless you tell me everything I want to know about Weyr..."

"Then...every year makes me more useless...doesn't it?" Alicia asked slowly, gathering her thoughts. He wasn't really looking for information -- no professional worked this way -- she was slowly starting to believe. “Haven’t broken me yet, little man.” She smiled slightly, after the lightning passed, again.
