First rejuve/Page3

Violet entered the Laboratories at high speed, resembling a neutron in an accelerator on the verge of creating a new unknown particle of matter that had never been seen before by scientific eyes.

Six years old and stalking through the compound like she was an adult, most of the guards and scientists knew Violet on sight and recognised the signs of a brewing storm. They parted before her like air with the driver of her car chasing along behind and giving everyone sympathetic and apologetic looks. "Tony Knew that that school uses spanking for discipline!" she was telling her driver crossly. "And he likely knew the way I would act when challenged by the other children! I am betting all my chips that he set this up as a psychology experiment to see how my brain functioned post Rejuve!"

Blustering through the laboritories she went up to a door marked "Medical labs" and pushed past a few pin-suited medical scientists. "If you think that's the case then why are you coming down here?" he said, "The rejuve technology is back that way, in the High Radiation labs!" Violet looked at the driver, looking up and then further up as he approached.. He had been provided to her by the company and would likely be expected to know his way around but she wondered what tasks he was required to perform when not driving. "If I know my husband!" she said determinedly, "After rejuve while I was still asleep he would have installed a monitoring device!" she explains. "But before I accuse him of such a thing I want to find proof!" "Ah!" The driver looked up and Violet recognised a look of concern on his face. Then she noticed he wasn't looking at her.

Pinwheeling, Violet rounded to see two gentlemen aproaching! Still bristling she began to panic a little and fought to take back control of her face. By the time the man reached her she looked more civil, if somewhat discheveled in her wrinkled and messy schooldress.

"Director!" she addressed the man, "And um.." she checked her memory for the face of the second person and drew a blank. "Miss Asuhara!" he replied, "This man is Trademaster Argentel!" he said, indicating the slighly balding man in the business suit. "He and his ship have just come back from trading in the Carlonan system and have managed to squeeze some nice little things past Customs!" The six year old blinked, Trademaster Argentel was looking at her as though she was some strange creature. Any moment now he was going to say - "Director Rumasfel, who is this child that you tell her of our business!" Violet took a breath and tried not to bristel as the director laughed.

"Violet Asuhara!" he explained, "Is one of the lead scientists on the Rejuvenation Chambers!" The man looked at Violet critically. "She is also the chamber's first test subject! A resounding success don't you think - from a grown adult to a six year old!" "It seams like a waste of energy to me!" "Why would you say that?" Six year old and sixty year old locked eyes, "You yourself are nearing age where you won't be space-faring again! I think everyone in their right mind would appreciate becoming younger and getting another go at life!"

"A six year old isn't worth anything to a trade vessel!" he said coldly, "You aren't even of Journeyman age, if you could make the technology pump out twenty year olds who have journeyman status and can work then you would have something! Right now what you have is nothing but a toy!"

Violet looked at the aging Trademaster as he walked away. Looking around her now she could identify the wares operators who were helping to cart new equipment and technologies into the assorted labs. The Director of the facility wasn't put out by the Trademaster's briskness.

"Violet, I may have a new toy for you!" he said, "They're unloading it in the west wing, it's called a 'System Replicator!" Violet looked at the Director in a way that asked the question he knew she would ask. "The System Replicator is a device we traded for that, when provided with several base chemicals can reproduce any machine or object!" "So, it's like a synthysizer from one of those old sci-fi's?" "Not exactly. It can't reproduce anything organic and it takes time to make the object. It lays the structure of the object down one atom at a time, but it does it quickly! You might be able to use it to replicate parts for your chambers!"

Starting to walk, The Director fell into step behind her. "Well, right now I'm going to have a battery of scans and tests done using that new bio-scanner that Tessla and her team constructed. I want to confirm several things about this body! Then I'll go tell Toby."

Nodding the director bade Violet farewell. Somewhere along the line her driver had left as well, so Violet pushed her way into Tessla's section of the medical labs.

-

The inside Tessla's laboratory was sparse and cluttered at the same time. In the middle of the room was a long adjustable table with levers and nobs on it that allowed the table to be turned, twisted and adjusted to take hundreds of different positions. Not just designed to be laid on a person placed on that table could be placed in all manner of positions, after which a large head-shaped unit sticking out of the roof could be moved around on three long stalks and made to take a scan of any part of a body. Not only that but the all-purpose scanning device had a special pre-programmed 'Body Mapping' function whereby the stalks the scanner were attached to would move around a person in a large arc and read every aspect of a person's biology. It was almost like making a cross-section scan of a person that could be loaded into a computer and analyzed in any way the user desired.

Around this table was a large clear shield designed to protect the person using the device from any radiation. And around this was well. A Mess! Every spare surface was covered in books, paperwork, devices, trinkets or technology and as usual Violet had to hunt to find Tessla. The woman was at one of the desks, buried under a bunch of paperwork and comparing information on her computer. Her hazel eyes didn't even look up as when she noticed Violet come in - not that she had to with Violet being so small now, but she did brush the short blue and red flames of hair backwards.

"Is that meant to be the latest style?" Violet asked, "The multi-coloured hair!" "It's how a lot of the colony girls are wearing it! To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Violet found a chair that was low enough for her, cleared the books off it and sat, wincing. "You now about my rejuve obviously!" she told her friend, "Well. I'm here to give your device a test!" she lied, "I want a full scan done, every spectrum and technique. It'll give me something to look at and useful data about how my body has changed since the rejuve!" Tessla looked at Violet over her glasses. "Tessy, please don't look at me like that! It makes me feel my age!" "I have been your friend for over ten years Vivi!" the older woman replied, "I know what you just told me is the excuse your going to give Toby, not your real reason. So Spill!"

Violet stifled a chuckle and grinned. "Your right of course!" Looking around Violet made sure the two were alone, then stood and turned, hoisting her skirt so that her friend could see the slight tanning on her bottom that was visible around her panties! Tessy was on her feet in an instant, pulling the underwear down so she could look at the results.

"Toby did this?" "No, the teacher at school. I mentioned you that he was sending me to a school, well the one he chose uses spanking as punishments for some things." "Your kidding!" Tessla poked the red flesh, "How many?" "About 18 strokes!" she replied. "That's a lot of colour for eighteen strokes. Your right to want to check this!" Violet made a face, "Actually I hadn't thought about it like that. It annoyed me that he sent me somewhere that I get spanked but it hadn't bothered me so much as the other thought!"

Tessla was bundling Violet's small form into the middle of the room, drawing blinds around the area so that visitors wouldn't see. She began assisting Violet in removing her clothes, everything typically came off during a scan. "My guess is that my husband is treeting this like a social experiment. He likely has listening and monitoring devices in my body! As such I want a full body scan to make sure before I go accusing him!"

Tessana Chandler started setting up the table as soon as Violet was naked, and adjusted it so the child could lay on it with her rump in the air. She then pulled down the scanning device and configured it to do a sweep of Violet's body. The six year old lay naked on the fibreglass plate with her eyes closed not caring what her friend was doing and only half listening. She suddenly felt so tired. "Once I've done the scans I'll apply a nano-bot serum to the flesh and see if it can repair the damage!" Violet felt something cold and metalic scrape against her bum-cheek and knew that Tessy had just taken a skin-sample.

"Let me guess, after you apply them I have to lay here for a while for them to work!" Tessla nodded, then responded verbally when she remembered Violet couldn't see her.

The machine whirred as it worked, moving around above her head and body on automatic pilot as it proceeded to scan Violet from different angles and build up a map of her body. By the time it was done Violet was napping lightly having fallen asleep on the movable bed. She didn't even notice when her friend smeared a lotion of nanobots on her backside and covered her with a sheet. By the time Tessla woke her Violet was feeling refreshed and her bottom supple and natural again. Not sure where her clothes had gone she wrapped herself in the sheet and walked out into the main area, dragging the cloth on the ground behind her like the train of a wedding dress.

She found Tessla at the same computer as before, this time looking over her own data rather than somebody elses. "What's the verdict?" Tessla looked up. "You fell asleep!" "I know that!" Violet rolled her eyes. "I meant about the scans!" The older woman waved her over and Violet looked at a body scan. As she had expected, small metalic devices showed up on the scan throughout her body.

"I expected that much." she said with a wry grin. "That's not the most interesting part though!" "Oh?" Tessla was giving Violet a coy look. "I did a check of your DNA and and stuff, did you know the noncoding Telemores are at their full limit?" Violet blinked before saying very quietly "I expect not since I don't know what that term means!"

Tessla grinned, "Dummed down, the telemore is a subtance that coats cells to protect the genetic structure. Each time a cell divides normally it has less of this, and the weakening of this barrier and eventual inability for cells to divide is what causes aging!" Violet nodded, "And your saying that the telemores in my body have been increased? I suppose that explains how the rejuve process seams to - thorough!" "Not just increased!" Tessla took off her glasses. Violet knew this woman well enough to know she was being serious.

"Basically, the reason your skin tanned so well from that spanking is cause even though your body is six, your skin is closer to that of a newborn!" "Oh!" Violet took a moment for this to sink in. Looking at the older woman it suddenly clicked what Tessla was implying!

"No, No no no, you are not experimenting on my skin!" "Oh please. Your acting like a child!" "I am a child!" Violet snapped back, physically at least! "Violet, your a scientist. You should understand that I need to take measurements and scan things!" "I understand perfectly well! You can not claim that Spanking me is a scientific endevour!" "Sure I can, I will be using the ultrasound to scan the skin at regular intervals throughout the spanking to see how the tissue responds. Heck, with a study like this it could even contribute to that group who were experimenting with synthetic skin that acted like real skin!"

"Can't you synthesize some tissue like this?" "I would have to synthasize a whole baby, and then I wouldn't be able to spank it!" Violet glared at the flame-haired woman evily.

After several moments of being given a half-hearted puppy-dog treatment Violet groaned. "All-right, Allright!" and started toddling back towards the bed and scanner in the middle of the room.

Violet dropped the sheet as soon as she was back inside the curtained off area. Already she was beginning to question the logic of this, but Tess was being professional at least. Also, unlike the teacher Tess would apply nanobots to her backside after the experiment was over. At least she hoped Tess would. She heard the large scanning unit click and buzz as it scanned her posteria for the second time that day, then closed her eyes and braced herself.

The first smack was surprisingly cold! She turned around with a start to see a flat metal object in her hand. It looked like an impact plate used for detecting the force of an impact. "MY hand would get sore!" Tessla said plainly, Violet just mouthed at the woman before turning around.

This spanking was far worse than the one she had received at school. Tessla was spanking in lots of ten, driving the impact plate against her rump repeatedly so that it hit both cheeks at the same time. After the first five strokes Violet started crying softly to herself, willilng herself not to make any noise as Tess took another scan of her bottom, then resumed the spanking to see how much damage her poor rump had sustained.

After twenty, Tess rubbed her friend's back for a little, trying to comfort the now quietly sobbing girl while she performed another scan. At thirty they took a break. Violet lay on the bed, her bottom sore and her hands purposely tied together. Violet had requested it so that she wasn't tempted to rub or irritate the spanked skin and mess with the data. Tessla got out a small pot of Rum and Raisin ice cream and fed it to Violet one spoonful at a time. The rejuve was too soppy right now to fight this and let it happened. From where she lay she couldn't see that Toby had come into the lab looking for her and was watching from the sideline when Violet nodded and said her friend could continue.

By sixty strokes of the impact plate, each stroke using a carefully measured force the reddened skin started to break out in blisters, so Tessla stopped and unbound the young child. That was when Toby came over and Violet noticed him.

sobbing slightly the only words Violet could find at the time was "Hug!" and so she got what she requested while Tessla fetched the tube of nanobots and applied some to Violet's bruised and battered backside. Toby mouthed 'thankyou' to the other woman as he held his child-partner. "When they eventually stood to leave Violet had completely forgotten that she had intended to rip into Toby for what happened at school.

Instead she said "Why does being a child again mean everyone wants to spank me?"
