Author's Note: After getting some feedback that the OCs in this story are getting a little bit tricky to keep straight, I have created a character guide on AO3 to hopefully help people follow more easily. It can be found at http://archiveofourown.org/works/3323549, and will always be kept current up to the end of the previous update. That way, you can check it out without spoiling what's going to happen in the most recent chapters. Hope it helps!

It seemed like it had taken hours for the two Cerberus guards to make their way over to the cell. Kasumi tried her best to look casual, even as she tensed every muscle in her body. She flicked her eyes quickly over the two guards, not wanting them to realize that she was sizing them up for the fight to come.
As Delaana had said, Bowers and his team seemed like they had gotten sloppy over the years, as the two men walked with a casual and relaxed demeanor, Roth making a joke to Okoru that made the dark-skinned man laugh raucously. Neither of them was armed with any sort of weapon, no doubt believing they could use their physical strength to deal with any resistance from their naked and helpless prisoners.
Not as helpless as you might believe, though, Kasumi thought to herself, flicking her eyes downward to the pile of books right next to the forcefield. With the lack of attention the two men were showing, Kasumi had little doubt that Delaana's sudden attack would leave Kasumi more than enough time to find the knife and put it to use.
The reaction would be swift, no doubt. With the cameras in the cells and the holding area outside, Kasumi had little doubt that there would be a response from their captors within the span of minutes. They would unlock Shepard and Liara's cell first, Kasumi had determined. Between Shepard's genetic enhancements and Liara's well-practiced biotic abilities, they'd have a good chance of holding off the enemy forces long enough to free the rest of the prisoners and plan the next move.
Kasumi glanced over at Delaana, the scarred and well-built asari mercenary putting on an expression of dull acceptance of what was to come. No doubt well-practiced from years of being the sex toy of these monsters. God, Kasumi couldn't even imagine what it must have been like. Even with the asari perspective on time, to have to be the plaything of Cerberus for years... Kasumi knew she didn't have the stomach for it. Which is why she was ready to help Delaana with her plan, desperate and dicey as it was.
The two men reached the forcefield, standing side-by-side and leering down at Kasumi and Delaana on their cots. Delaana shot a glance over to Kasumi, her defeated expression hardening for a split-second, and Kasumi gave her a slight nod. She was ready. They were going to do this.
"Hello, Delaana," Roth said, his single remaining eye gleaming as he looked down at his captive with a hungry expression. "I hope you've been getting along with your new cellmate. From what the bosses tell us, she's going to be hanging around a lot longer than the others." He turned to Okoru and jabbed him with an elbow in the ribs. "You remember the last one we had in there? What was her name?"
"Galana, yes," Okoru said, his deep voice filled with nostalgia. "Such a delightful little creature. Eyes of the purest green I have ever seen. And the things she could do with her mouth once she had accepted her circumstances were quite amazing." He looked back at the women in the cell and grinned. "A pity what happened to her in the end. I suppose the doctor's formula... was not quite ready at that point. After he injected her with that concoction, that light in those pure green eyes of hers went so dim and so dark. In the end she did not even resist when we disposed of her."
"Wasn't all bad in the end, though," Roth said. "My little varren darlings in the back had quite a feast that night. After forcing down so much of that synthetic meat substance we produce on this station, they were just so happy to get a taste of the real thing."
The two men laughed, and Kasumi fought the urge to go for the knife right then and there. Too soon. Had to wait until the forcefield was down.
"Hopefully the doc has better luck this time, though," Roth observed. "Sounds like he's got his formula almost perfected now." He smirked down at the two captives. "And you ladies... you're going to be today's test subjects."
Kasumi felt a chill run through her body. It was bad enough when it was going to be these two sadistic bastards raping her and Delaana. But now, it seemed like they were about to become guinea pigs for that creepy doctor guy. Now, Kasumi was even more determined to fight her way out of this. Better to try and fail than go out like Galana, a broken vegetable turned into varren food.
"Well, we should be getting you lovely ladies back to the testing area," Okoru said, smiling at Kasumi in a way that would almost be sexy if she wasn't fully aware of his true nature. "Wouldn't want to keep the doctor waiting."
Kasumi hissed in a breath as Okoru's hand went to the forcefield's keypad. Out of her line of sight, she could hear Delaana starting to rise up on her feet. Ready to be the first one out of the cell just as they had planned. This was it. They only had one shot at this. Kasumi glanced one more time at the pile of books, ready to make the grab for the one with the red cover.
Just then, as Okoru started entering the code, the door at the back of the holding area suddenly slid open. "Hold on just one moment," the newcomer said.
Kasumi glanced over at Delaana, the asari sinking back down onto the bed with a confused expression. From out of the back area came Henneman, the doctor walking over to their cell with a cold, detached demeanor.
Delaana's words in Kasumi's mind: If it's three or more of them... well, remember what I said about going limp, because whatever they plan to do to the two of us, they're going to do. But that was when being violated was the worst of their fears. Now it was the prospect of being dosed with chemicals that might destroy their minds forever. And unlike his underlings, Kasumi didn't think that Henneman would be able to put up as much of a fight. Kasumi looked at Delaana again, wanting to see if she was still ready to make their move, but the asari's expression was unreadable.
"Good evening, ladies," Henneman said, staring down at a datapad in his hands as he spoke. "Now, as my associates here may have mentioned, we will be running some tests on you today." He spoke clinically, like he was rattling off a list of side effects from a medication. "To be quite honest, Cerberus's benefactor had suggested to me a different pair of test subjects to begin with. But until I am certain that my latest attempt at recreating the Shadow Broker's formula is complete, I would much rather put my more... expendable subjects through the first round of testing." Glancing up at them for the first time since his unexpected arrival, he gave the two of them a disingenuous smile. "Please, don't take it too personally. Science can be cruel sometimes, but take solace in the knowledge that your participation in this experiment will lead to breakthroughs that will ring out for centuries to come."
Kasumi wanted to yell back at him. Ask him how treating women like disposable objects could possibly help advance science in any positive way. But she heard Delaana lightly clear her throat next to her, and looking over saw a determined look in her eye. We're still going to make a try for it, Kasumi realized. Keeping her expression as blank as possible, she tensed herself for the forcefield to go down.
"Now, then," Henneman said, looking back down at his datapad. "We'll be taking you ladies back into the testing area in just a moment. Just a few more things before we get going, though."
Dammit, what the hell is taking them so long? Kasumi thought to herself. Bring down the damn forcefield already!
"I had something here I wanted to show you," Henneman said, searching through the pockets of his lab coat. "Now where did I... ah, yes. Here it is." Pulling something out, he handed it to Roth. "Hold onto this for me, would you? Don't know what I was thinking, keeping something so dangerous in my pocket like that."
Kasumi heard Delaana quietly curse under her breath. And when Kasumi saw what Henneman was handing to the guard, she understood her cellmate's reaction. And realized that any plans they might have had were out the window.
It was a knife. Nothing ornate, but sharp and deadly-looking. Just the sort of thing an asari merc might keep on hand to defend herself if all else failed.
"Look familiar, Delaana?" Henneman asked, the smile on his face now genuine and frightening as Roth took the knife and slid it into the belt of his Cerberus uniform. "I suppose with that camera up above you, you didn't want to risk checking to make sure the knife was still in there. And considering you haven't tried to use it until now, I assume I can guess what your plan was: wait until you had a cellmate that you could trust to use the knife herself, while using your Ardat-Yakshi abilities to disable the other guard. A decent plan. And it might have worked, if we hadn't tossed your cell a few months ago and found out about the fake book." He gestured towards the pile of books. "Go ahead. Take a look inside and see what's there."
Delaana didn't move, her face twisted in anger at the revelation that her plan had already been defeated. Begrudgingly, Kasumi stood up and slid the book with the red cover out from the bottom of the pile. Inside, in a small compartment cut into the false pages, was a single photograph. The image displayed Delaana, trails of cum dripping down her body, tied into some sort of bondage chair with a seething expression on her face. Around her, Roth, Okoru, and the rest of the guards stood with their cocks out, the photograph catching them in mid-circle jerk as they shot their loads across the helpless asari.
"You do remember that day three months ago, don't you, Delaana?" Henneman said, a note of sadistic glee in his voice as he taunted his captive. "The day Bowers and the rest of his men spent the entire day taking turns with you? I must confess that keeping you out of your cell for that entire day served more purpose than just entertaining these gentlemen. You see, we knew that, if our plans succeeded, we would soon be housing some new captives in these cells. Ones that had much more potential for acts of defiance than our previous visitors. And so, while you were being used back in the testing room, we spent that time making some improvements to your cell. Improvements that should make any further attempts at resistance quite pointless."
Kasumi gasped as a series of loud mechanical "clunk" sounds were heard under her feet. She looked down to see thin metal nozzles suddenly protruding from the floor of the cell. After that, there was a quiet hissing sound, followed by a light-green gas starting to fill their cell.
Next to her, she could hear Delaana slump back onto her cot, and soon Kasumi felt everything start to go black. The last thing she thought before unconsciousness took her was, Jacob, I hope you're going to get here soon. And that I'm still me when you rescue us.
