First rejuve/Page7

A short Drop
Over the next few weeks Violet hardly saw Terry or in fact her old driver. Not that she was too eager to see them but Harder had seamed like a decent man, A man who would laugh a lot and was always willing to talk to Violet like an adult. Since taking in Terry as his ward however he seamed pressed somehow. Always busy, trying to avoid hanging around the young girl or her partner.

As a Result of Harder's tetchyness and fidgety attitude somehow he had stopped picking her up and dropping her off to school - instead arranging for an older man from the company's chartered staff to pick Violet up and drop her places while the girl's husband worked.

Violet made a face, looking out the window and Adrian and Jenna talked about Terry's latest act of sedition. "I don't think you can just write it off this time. I mean yeah the bad things that have been happening round the school have all been minor but these thefts out of people's bags have all occurred when those boy's are around. And we're seen Terry with them several time! Something is going on!" Jenna was nodding as Violet listened with half an ear. "I'm starting to think the whole, rejuvenating a criminal was a bad idea." the ten year old frowned. "Like, what happened to those monitoring devices that that Miss Tessana had installed in the girl? That's what I want to know - isn't there some way to track her or prove she's blackmailing the older students?"

"Tessla said she did a diagnostic on them the other day and they were still working. But still, there are blackspots in the feed from the recording devices. Almost like something is interferring or jamming the signal." "I bet Terry has found a way of blocking them." Adrian sneered. "She's steeling smart phones, transers and portable tablets and I doubt its to sell them. Not while she gets money from your company - she shouldn't need to. It has to be so she can try and blackmail the kids." "Or their parents!" Violet replied matter of factly. Jenna and Adrian both went quiet.

"I mean think about it - some of the kids at that school have parents in high positions of authority. Heads of companies, directors, respected ships officers and stuff. There's bound to be someting she can do with such people in her pocket!" "We're almost there!" The new driver's voice came over the intercom. She had yet to see this driver's face - and that worried her. "Anyhow - we can discuss more of this inside.. After I get some juice and snacks!"

Violet's two friends nodded.

Inside, the six year old toddled around the kitchen like a professional, making her two friends stand there with their mouths opened. With some concerted thought from Tony most of the cupboards, high places and places where a six year old could get themselves hurt or injured were either locked, barred or made impossible to reach without some adult help. Having said that however the fridge was easy to access and little 'steps' were positioned around the kitchen so that Violet could get up to counter height and work on things or do dishes.

Working quickly and quietly Violet first retrieved bread from the dry box (a box that specifically keeps the bread dry so it won't go moldy) and an assortment of pre-sliced cheeses, meats and salad from drawers in the fridge before assembling three king-like sandwiches for herself and for her friends. Adrian went to offer his help, but Jenna stopped him with a hand on the boy's shoulder and a shake of her head. Violet not only had thing's well in hand but well organised and five minutes later the trio were sitting in the lounge-room, Violet and Jenna on the couch while Adrian looked over the Asahura family entertainment system. He wasn't very impressed by it.

"You only have the most basic package! I thought you guys were scientists?" "I think You should recommend to the board that Criminals aren't suitable for rejuvenation, Violet." Violet nodded to Jenna with a wry expression. "The problem is that there aren't many people coming forwards from the general public who are eager to test experimental technologies. Particularly ones that could reboot your life like this.

"I mean don't get me wrong!" Adrian rambled, "The projector is top of the range but this is only a simple wand controlled holo with low rastering and direct display output!" "Well, if they're going to rejuvenate convicts then perhaps there ought to be a system of rehabilitation?" "You should at least have a double buffered handler and control paddles!" "Terry needs a good paddling!" Violet agreed, not totally hearing Adrian. Jenna laughed, "That's it! Maybe we should recommend a system where future criminal rejuves are placed with experienced disciplinarians. Someone who can't easily be manipulated!"

"Exactly, it's all about manipulating the control software. You could easily play high end games on this despite the low level tech if you just upgraded the control interface!" Violet looked at Adrian. "What are you talking about?" Adrian hesitated and looked back. "Your archaic holo-set here! It surprised me your using something like this when your meant to be scientists!" Violet blinked, "Oh that. We have a high end machine that Tony built himself in the office where we work - fully interactive with six motion control cameras that allow us to direct manipulate the virtual interface along with a fully adaptable A.I. system to listen to and obey our commands. But we don't need that out here for our entertainment system so we just use this old cheapo here!"

Adrian's mouth popped open like the top of a champagne bottle and Jenna and Violet ignored it.

"What we're talking about!" Jenna interrupted, "Was that the three of us draught up a set of guidelines for the handling of Criminal Rejuves." "Preferably something that involves heavy discipline and restricting their actions until they can be trusted to behave like well. Normal children!" Adrian looked from one girl to the next as they explained then turned his back on the cheep holo-system. "I'd be in for that! So what, we need to figure out what counts as safe and sane punishments - rules for keeping the rejuve in check and stuff." "Tony has a 3D printer in the back-room, beside the laundrymat. It's limited to the materials it can use but we can print up samples and devices with it!" "Plus we should design a practical device for monitoring and controlling rejuves in a way that can't be interfered with." Tony nodded.

Violet looked at her two friends, she rather suspected they didn't understand what was involved in prototyping devices and drawing up blueprints or guidelines - or how much research was involved in such a thing. 'Well', she thought, 'They're about to find out. I wonder if this could count as an extra-curricular for school as well?'.

Getting out their data pads and school supplies, Adrian hooked them up to the lounge-room holo so they could see each other's work, then the trio began draughting up their proposal. "It is our assertion that criminals given the chance to rejuve should not simply be given parole but should carry out while rejuvenated the rest of their sentence in a manner that is more appropriate for a child!" "It's a good start but now we need to justify it!" "And!" Violet reminded her friends, "We can't use Terry as an example cause we don't have any evidence. She was officially paroled, we would have to actually lay charges of some kind before we could use her as our example." Three faces drooped.

"Well, that's going to take some time to justify. Maybe we should set that as homework and instead focus on 'How' we think Criminals should be treated. "Oh they should definitely be spanked, Adrian, that is a Must!" Violet giggled at the response then, surprised at her reaction decided to giggle again. "I can go for that but if your going to suggest spankings then we need to figure out what counts as 'Safe and Sane' punishments. "One hundred Strokes with the broad-side of a hairbrush! Daily!" Adrian laughed, his eyes flashing under his messy hair. "Just to remind them that they're a criminal!" "And you think you could withstand that?" Jenna chided, spurring the boy to stand up.

"At my age, sure! I don't guarantee I'd like it but I could withstand that - and it would keep a criminal on the straight and narrow!" Violet and Jenna glanced at each other - "Alright then, lets test it!" "What?" "Violet, do you have a hairbrush anywhere!" "In my room - I'll go get it!" "Wait, what???" Adrian went pale as the six year old got to her feet and ran off down the passageway.

"Wait, Jenna come on!" The blond haired girl smiled at him. "You've been itching to play around with me for a while now, always trying to feel me up when nobody's looking. Now that I'm actually agreeing to take your pants off and do stuff to you, you're not going to say no are you?" "erk!"

Violet ran back into the living room carrying an arm-full of objects. One, a personal camera of her own was dangling from her wrist and banging around dangerously while a tripod banged against the door-frame on the way in. As well as these Violet deposited a datapad, some datachips, her own Transer and two different types of hairbrushes. Her friends looked at the devices with a confused expression as Violet strapped her Transer to her wrist and tapped it's surface.

A Holographic display lit up just above her watch and - using a small stylus she tapped on the holographic buttons in the air. Suddenly the living room Holo turned on and the portable camera woke up - showing the footage from the camera live on the living room display.

"Violet, what the! This isn't a home video moment!" Violet hid a laugh behind a sardonic grin. "We are planning to do a paper right, which amongst other things will prove what is and is not safe practices for dealing with Rejuved Criminals? So - we need docutation. Video, voice recording notes - stuff that can be analyzied and turned into facts and figures! Pants off please!" Jenna grinned serenely, "Yes. Underwear too please!"

"Don't worry Jenna you'll be next!" "WHAT!" The blond rolled to her feet and stood up. Violet looked up at the shop-girl, still trying not to laugh!" "We're all going to have to go under the hairbrush!" she said. "Just like we're all going to have to try out any devices we make to control or monitor rejuves! You wanted to do the spanking first - so it's time to saccifice your bum for sciences!" "Why do you always start sounding childish when your being evil!" Jenna frowned. "Alright then!"

Barely hesitating Jenna started to pull her skirt and undies off as well, only blushing slightly at being naked infront of an equally naked boy. Both parties tied to cover their privates as Violet set up the recording and introduced the experiment - talking openly into her Transer.

"Over the course of three days we plan to experiment on practical levels of discipline for children to determine three things. Emotion breaking point, extent of physical endurance and the levels of physical punishment required to sucessfuwy discplne." she grinned as she explained. "As I myself have undergone spanking for experments with Tessla, she will likely be our analyst." Camera set up - Violet tapped the couch and a red faced Adrian went to bend over the end and expose him rump to the camera.

"Goal of experiment will be; compare stats for children and rejuves, with myself as rejuve, and determine a way to make spanking more effective on rejuves. Perhaps using some device that effects mental maturity." Violet grinned as she paused the recording on her Transer and picked up the hairbrush. "Jenna - Would you do the Honors?"

Forgetting her embarrassment for a moment Jenna grinned and picked up the larger of the brushes before walking over to Adrian and standing on the opposite side of the camera. Then giving the camera a thumbs up she raised it high and brought it down with a short sharp drop onto his bum cheeks. Adrian bucked on the couch but didn't make any noise - no doubt trying to be professional and so Jenna raised the hairbrush and dropped it again, then a third, fourth and fifth time in rapid succession.

Filming with the portable camera at his lower end Violet decided to rub in the indignity a little by walking around to Adrian's head. There, activating the micro-camera in her Transer she held her wrist so that she could see his face on the holo-display.

"Adrian, would you care to tell me what your feeling right now!" Violet laughed as Adrian swore under his breath. "Nownow, I'll likely have to censor that out if you make comments like that!" Counting slowly Jenna made her way past the 20 mark, trying to focus on spreading the spanking around so as not to do serious injury but already Adrian was starting to suffer under the strain, his dark skin wasn't noticeably tanning like Jenna knew lighter coloured skin did and this made her wary about how heavy this spanking was. "I'll give a comment if you like!" the blond haired socialist said from her position behind the boy. "I think spanking someone isn't as easy as it looks. They ought to make sure spankings are normally done by professionals who know what to look for!"

An aboriginal throwback, Adrian had extremely dark skin - almost black instead of a lighter brown and as such Violet could see what Jenna was talking about in that there was no real visible difference between the skin nearly thirty spanks in as what there was before they started. As such she called a halt to the spanking. "Let me look!" she turned her keen eye on the scenario. The 10yo's tush was soft to the touch, and peaky like properly whipped cream and in the right lighting she could see it was turning slightly purplish in colour. "That I think is already a pretty thorough spanking!" She commented, not really knowing the extent of human endurance.

"And it looks like emotionally it's barely dented Adrian!" The boy bent over Violet's couch let out a derisive chuckle followed by a sniffle. "I'm tough!" he commented, "It'll take more than a hairbrush to make me break down. Not like Violet who was crying by this point when the teacher spanked her!" Violet made a face - "There may be just something to be said to my being younger. But! I was being spanked with a paddle designed for somebody YOUR age! Not by a hairbrush!" Adrian nodded, thinking this over then said "Keep Going!"

Violet and Jenna traded glances before Jenna resumed her strokes, carefully counting her way up to 100. "I'm glad I thought to get some of Gary's Nanocream last time I was at the lab!" Violet sighed, "I'll go get it!"
