Chapter 30: The Carrot after the Stick.

After Jashin pledge loyalty to me, I make Thea and Victor get out of the Medical Bay "I will be healing Jashin for now. You two go out for a bit."

"Yes Captain." Not asking much question, both Thea and Victor obey my order and then left the Medical Bay in an instant.

I look at Jashin and then told her "Go to the other pod. I will be repairing the pod you're in after this. We'll do a quick regeneration bath and then after that I can start the treatment for your Orc Skin."

"... Thank you Captain. I will be in your care." Jashin said as she step out of the current pod and then go into the next pod...

She didn't say much to let me start the treatment to regenerate her arm. I also wanted to start healing her Orc Skin as she's regenerating her arm. Although I have a way to heal it in an instant, I need to make sure that she's not getting treated too nicely too quick. I need to gradually increase the reward that she gets so that she's more willing to obey me and I have more leverage for her.

Although... She does pledge her Loyalty to me... Maybe I'll just heal her entirely?

I started to feel a little bit of confusion in what I should do because Jashin has swore her loyalty and that means she is going to do anything I said to her unconditionally, that alone is worth her entire well being.

After Jashin step into the pod, I said to her "Jashin, this will be painful as I will be healing you off by killing up the Fungus inside of you. So, if you want to reach that future you're hoping for. You need to hold the pain to survive this. Are you willing to hold the pain and not die in front of your new Captain?" I asked Jashin and make sure that she's in the best state of mind.

Surely, after getting her mind broken and then revived... She's ready to do anything to get what she wanted, which is the future she's been hoping of all her life!

She looked at me, directly in my eyes with a look filled with confidence and determination. "Yes Captain. I am willing to hold the pain and reach the new height of life!"

"Good! Now, good luck to you. Godspeed, Jashin." I close the pod and then the pod immediately started filling up with a regenerative liquid...

All of her scars started to disappear, and then her arm started to regrew slowly but surely... For now, she didn't feel anything as this is just a normal regenerative liquid...

But then, I take out a small gem, silver in color and radiating some sort of aura...

I look at Jashin and nod at her, indicating that I'm ready. She nods back and that tells me that she's ready too. So, I open up a small chamber on the top of the Pod and then activate the Mystic Nature Gem and then put it into the chamber...

Just like a teabag, the Chamber then drop down to the liquid and then infused all the energy that's leaking out from the gem into the liquid itself...

Naturally, as the liquid started to get infused with the energy, Jashin wriggles in pain. It started tame with Jashin wriggling with pain that's still be able to hold. But as time goes on, and it's not long, just a few seconds between wriggling lightly... She started to grit her teeth, gripping her hands as powerful as she can and then her veins started to popped out...

Before eventually, all hell broke loose and she scream "AAGHH!!!" But she's not asking for help or rejecting the pain. She's accepting the pain and that's the effect of her not being able to hold back her voice...

I take a step back and let her fight her own battle. "Fight on. If you grasp your rebirth, you're going to be an invaluable asset for me, Jashin. So, fight and live on. Don't let yourself die and lose to your disease..."

I left the room for a bit and there stood, Victor and Thea.

"That's some intense screaming she got." Thea muttered, feeling impressed with what I did to Jashin. Victor who have a bit of a clue on what I did, nod to it as well. "Didn't expect you to sacrifice the Mystic Nature Gem like that, Captain... Here I am thinking that you will be rather using it for your project."

"Naturally, I said to you all that I love my friends and family. So, using important things that I have for my own and your safety is a must."

They both smiled and we stood outside of the Medical Bay, listening to the screams of anguish that Jashin let out. Waiting for it to fade away and disappear entirely as a sign of her either failing or succeeding..

We all stood there, hoping that Jashin managed to survive the ordeal and become a part of the crew as a whole...

Eventually... The screaming, filled with pain and determination, faded off and come to a complete stop. "It's done..." I muttered to myself. Having a high hope of her survival.

I open the door, Thea and Victor enter the room with me. We walked over toward the Pod and we saw inside the pod, a very great looking lady, with fair smooth skin and is panting in exhaustion...

"I... Have done it... Captain..." She muttered to me.

I grinned big and congratulate her as anyone should do. "Congrats on having a new life, Jashin. With this... You have no more connection to the old Captain of Deep Scavenger. You are my crew and my crew only."

I drained the pod and then she step out of the pod, immediately kneeling to me. "Thank you, Captain. From now on. I have no more connection to anyone. My ability is yours to use! Killing, sabotaging, or anything that you want me to do. I shall do!"

Her loyalty was shown the moment she step out, she's ready to anything I want her to do, including creating chaos in any place she went to...

Now, I have 3 members that is an absolute unit that can hold their own against anyone. Loyal to the core as well... It's my job now to keep them on my side and not let them down.
