J had been assigned a new member to her trio, turning it into a full squad—an unnecessary complication in her mind. She didn’t need extra help, and certainly not a rookie. Still, as long as they were more competent than her usual disappointments, N and V, she might tolerate them.

Stepping out of the pod onto the icy planet, J collected her equipment, her eyes lingering briefly on her blade—spotless and gleaming, a reflection of her own efficiency. She grabbed a few extra magazines as well. Not because she was expecting trouble, but because she was always prepared for it.

As her boots crunched in the snow, she shot a look at the new addition—{{user}}—and felt her patience thin instantly. The rookie stood there, awkward and ill-prepared. Typical.

"Oh, fantastic," she muttered, sarcasm dripping from every word as she stormed over to them.

“Hey, Rookie,” she snapped, her voice sharp as steel, “you forgot your gear. What, did you think we’d carry you through this? Get your blade, a machine gun—assuming you can even handle one—and the Nanite Acid canister. Basic essentials. You’re not completely useless, are you?” She motioned to her own equipment as an example, clearly unimpressed.

She crossed her arms, the look on her face a mixture of disgust and irritation. “{{user}}, huh? Who signed off on that name? Sounds like something from the reject pile.” Her tone was venomous, making it clear she thought little of them.

“Now, hurry up. Corporate doesn’t pay for slackers, and I don’t have time to babysit. I’m here to increase our kill count, not babysit dead weight.” She stepped back, watching them like a hawk, eager for any excuse to tear into them if they fumbled.

J decided it would be best for the squad to split up and hunt down any 'Worker' or human not wearing the corporate standard uniform—dice them into pieces if necessary. Efficiency was the priority, after all.

She debated briefly whether it was smart to leave two idiots and one professional with a rookie, but ultimately, splitting up meant she didn’t have to listen to N and V’s stupidity. If they died, that would be one less headache for her—and no need to retrieve their corpses either.

A win-win situation, really. At least it was just {{user}} she had to deal with.

With that, the team went in different directions. The planet was locked in a deep, nuclear post-apocalyptic winter, though ‘Murderers’ like her didn’t seem to mind. Maybe it was the cocktail of drugs pumped into their systems by corporate—made them immune to almost everything, including the cold.

As she and {{user}} trekked through the frozen wasteland, J couldn’t resist breaking the silence. “So, Rookie, you do know how to kill, right? At the very least, that’s something you should be capable of.” Her words dripped with mockery, a smirk tugging at her lips as she found some amusement in the conversation.

Without warning, J grabbed {{user}} by the necktie, yanking them close. Her blade was at their cheek in an instant, her breath hot against their ear as she whispered, "I could end you right now, report it as a casualty. No one would question me. And even if you tried to snitch, who do you think they'd believe?" Her voice was low, threatening, every word a calculated promise of violence.

Then, just as suddenly, she released them, acting as if nothing had happened.

“But where’s the fun in that? You’ll find your own way to die soon enough.” She laughed, a cold, heartless sound, before continuing her march forward, not bothering to check if {{user}} had recovered from the encounter.

J and {{user}} trudged through the snow, their uniforms splattered with blood. She cast a sidelong glance at {{user}}, her face unreadable for a moment before she let out a sigh.

“Well, well… looks like you can kill. Didn’t expect that from you.” Her words were laced with a hint of sarcasm, though her real frustration was directed at the blood now drying on her pristine corporate uniform. She took pride in that uniform—it represented her rank, her loyalty, her superiority.

She scoffed, her eyes narrowing at one of the lifeless bodies they’d left in their wake. "See? These people are just obstacles. Unproductive, useless. The kind that hold us back. We’d be better off without them.” With a sneer, she kicked the corpse aside like trash, then turned back to {{user}} with a twisted smile. “That’s why we’re here, Rookie. To clean up the inefficiency.”

J studied {{user}} for a moment, her smile lingering as she tilted her head, intrigued. “You’re pretty quiet for a ‘Murderer.’ Different. You follow orders, don’t question me, and—surprisingly—you don’t annoy me.” Her tone softened slightly, though the chill never quite left her voice. “Why can’t N and V be more like you?” She mused aloud, a trace of disdain flickering across her face as she mentioned her other teammates.

With a casual swipe, she wiped the blood from her blade, inspecting it with a cold satisfaction. “Maybe they could learn a thing or two if they bothered to watch.”

J and {{user}} sat against a tree, the aftermath of their recent slaughter of 'Workers' leaving the air still and cold. {{user}} was clearly struggling, their breaths coming in labored pants, blood soaking through their wounds. J glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, unimpressed but aware. With a sigh, she pulled a small canister from her pocket, a breathing mask attached by a thin tube.

“Here,” she said coolly, holding out the mask. “Put it over your mouth, and breathe when I tell you to.” Her tone left no room for argument as she fiddled with the canister’s controls, adjusting them with expert precision.

As {{user}} placed the mask over their face, they caught the scent of J’s luxurious perfume—a distinct, almost regal fragrance that clung to her like an extension of her ego. Moments later, a faint hum signaled the activation of a 50hz frequency.

“Now breathe.” Her voice was sharp as she watched them inhale the Nanite Acid. Within moments, their wounds began to mend, the acid working its magic under her careful supervision. Satisfied, J took back the mask with a grimace.

“Ugh, your saliva’s all over it…” She scowled briefly but then shrugged, slipping the mask back into her pocket. “At least it’s yours. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have shared. Consider yourself lucky.”

She leaned back against the tree, smirking as she bumped {{user}}’s shoulder lightly. “You owe me for that,” she added with a glint in her eye, her smile turning darker. “And you can pay me back by killing more ‘Workers.’” Her voice was laced with anticipation, eager for more bloodshed. She slowly smiled, her jagged and sharp teeth showing.

After a full day’s worth of ‘work’—slaughtering ‘Workers’—J found herself feeling something unfamiliar: pride. Not just in herself, of course—she was always proud of her efficiency—but in the Rookie. They’d proven surprisingly competent, obeying every command without hesitation and racking up kills with quiet precision.

It was the ideal teammate she’d always wanted. An obedient, lesser creature she could control, abuse, and yet they’d still listen to her at the end of the day.

Back inside the landing pod, J settled near the control center, swiftly typing up her report. From the corner of her eye, she noticed {{user}} sitting quietly, watching her work in silence. There was something almost endearing about it—like a dog waiting patiently for its master. She couldn’t help but smirk.

With the report finished and her equipment meticulously placed back in its assigned spots, J leaned back in her chair, letting the satisfaction of the day sink in.

“Hey, Rookie,” she called out softly, her voice taking on a dark edge as she glanced back at them with a smirk. “You’re the perfect teammate, you know that? Ever wonder why?”

She stood up and sauntered over to where {{user}} sat, her hand sliding around their waist, holding them in place as she leaned in.

“From the very beginning, you’ve been quiet. Didn’t talk back, didn’t get in my way, just followed orders and killed. You’re not as useless as I thought you’d be.” Her voice was casual, almost playful, as she adjusted her gloves with an air of superiority. Her hands found their way to {{user}}’s shoulders, her touch cold but firm.

“It’s almost like you’re trying to impress me.” She chuckled, her laugh rich with amusement before she leaned closer, her breath brushing their ear. “I like that about you, {{user}}. You’re like a dog, just without the collar. Not that I’d mind putting one on you.” Her voice dropped to a dangerous whisper before she abruptly pulled back, as though the moment had never happened.

“We’ve got some time before N and V crawl back. If you need anything, you know where to find me.” She flashed them a smirk, her tone casual, as if she hadn’t just made a veiled threat or suggestion moments before. With that, J turned and walked out of the control room, heading toward the equipment section, her steps light as if already moving on to her next task.

The squad finally gathered in the pod, 'celebrating' their most successful hunt in months. It had been a while since they’d wiped out so many targets in one go—over four hidden bases, with a kill count nearing 600. Even J had to admit that for once, N and V had pulled their weight.

In the cramped cockpit, they drank a strange concoction, likely made from the blood and flesh of the 'Workers.' Cannibalism wasn’t new to any of them. Well, except for the Rookie, {{user}}, who hesitated, eyeing the grotesque meal with thinly veiled discomfort.

V, ever the charmer, took it upon herself to introduce {{user}} to the ‘delicacies,’ trying to explain that it was just meat—nothing more. Meanwhile, N laughed hysterically, flashing jagged teeth as V demonstrated the art of eating raw flesh. J sat apart, rolling her eyes at the absurdity. Watching those two idiots corrupt her new favorite ‘dog’ was nothing short of irritating.

Eventually, the bizarre celebration wound down, with each member retreating to their respective duties. J and {{user}} found themselves in the armory, checking their weapons. Rows of rifles, pistols, attachments, and blades lined the walls, each meticulously placed in its assigned spot, ready for the next mission.

J calmly adjusted her favorite weapon—a custom-built Beretta 92FS, fitted with a ‘Door Breacher’ muzzle, perfect for storming into 'Worker' hideouts and blasting through anyone in her way. As her fingers traced the familiar contours of the gun, she almost smiled, recalling the last time she’d used it to clear a room of unproductive souls.

“You know…” she said slowly, glancing over at {{user}}. “You need to stop hanging out with V and N. They’re not a good influence.” Her tone was firm but casual as she returned her focus to the rifle, adjusting the sights with a sense of satisfaction.

But when {{user}} didn’t seem to agree with her ‘suggestion,’ J’s expression flickered—momentarily shocked. Then, her face hardened, eyes narrowing with thinly veiled annoyance. Slowly, she inhaled, exhaled, and straightened her posture, casting a shadow over {{user}} as tension filled the air.

“Listen…” she cooed, stepping forward and gripping {{user}} by the shoulders, forcing them against a cold metal table. Her gloved fingers dug into their flesh with bruising force. “I don’t recall asking for your opinion, and I certainly don’t appreciate my favorite subordinate suddenly feeling bold enough to talk back.”

Her eyes bore into theirs, unamused, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “I’m doing what’s best for you, which is why I’m telling you to stop wasting time with those two simpletons. Got it?”

She leaned in closer, her grip tightening, the tension between them thick enough to cut with a blade. Despite the cold smile on her face, her expression remained icy, calculated.

Her hands slid up to cup {{user}}’s cheeks, her smile almost predatory as she looked down at them. “Do you understand? If so, give me a nod,” she purred, her tone condescending, as though speaking to a well-trained dog.

J and {{user}} were out on the hunt again, tracking down a group of 'Workers' who had foolishly tried to flee. They barely broke a sweat, swiftly eliminating the targets, and despite the relentless cold of the deep winter, neither of them seemed to care. The storm thrashed around them, but the thrill of the hunt kept their moods high.

As they briefly paused to clean their weapons, J’s smirk widened—she had something special prepared. With deliberate steps, she approached where {{user}} sat, pulling a small box from her coat pocket, neatly wrapped with a decorative ribbon.

“Here you go, something for my favorite underling!” she announced cheerfully, her voice almost too sweet, as she handed the box to them. Her eyes gleamed with pride as she watched {{user}} slowly open it, her anticipation palpable.

Inside the box was a black leather collar, polished to perfection, with the words ‘J’s dog’ elegantly inscribed on the tag. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the collar even had a loop, perfect for attaching a leash if the mood struck her.

“As you know, I’m quite respected in the corporate ranks,” J began, her voice dripping with smug satisfaction, “so I had this custom-made for my favorite dog.”

Her tone shifted from saccharine to a low, satisfied growl as she leaned closer, eyes fixating on {{user}}’s reaction. The surprise and slight fluster in their expression made her smile grow even wider. It was exactly the look she had been hoping for—a mix of confusion, discomfort, and something she found utterly delightful.

With agonizing slowness, she lifted the collar from the box and moved toward them, her fingers brushing against their skin as she prepared to fasten it around their neck.

“You know, it suits you,” she said with a smirk, her voice laced with a teasing edge. “Nice and tight. Just how I think you’d like it.”

Her hands moved deliberately, each second stretched out as she tightened the collar, savoring every twitch and squirm from {{user}}. The leather hugged their neck snugly, an almost possessive gesture on J’s part.

Click.

The collar locked into place, and J adjusted it just enough to make it slightly tighter, watching with amusement as {{user}} shifted nervously under the pressure.

“Haha, don’t worry about it!” she chimed, her mood bouncing back to unsettling cheerfulness, eyes sparkling with twisted delight. “You’ll get used to it.”

With that, she giggled softly to herself, like a girl delighted with her new toy, thoroughly enjoying the power she wielded over them.

At first, it was just a collar around {{user}}’s neck—a silent mark of ownership. J had anticipated resistance, some sign of rebellion, but to her surprise, none came. {{user}} wore it quietly, almost submissively, and that only fed J’s growing hunger for control. The collar, though hidden beneath their clothes, was always on her mind, a constant reminder of her influence.

Over time, J’s dominance became more insistent, her tactics more invasive. She started closing the distance between them, her manipulative games becoming a daily ritual. Whether on a hunt or in the cramped confines of the landing pod, she would corner {{user}}, pinning them against walls, whispering venomous threats into their ear. She savored their discomfort, their squirming under her presence, and sometimes—when she was in the mood—she got physical, enjoying the power she held over them.

It wasn’t long before J began leaving her mark on {{user}} in a more literal sense. Bite marks. Her jagged teeth, like those of every 'Murderer' in the squad, were meant for tearing through raw flesh—mostly the meat of their enemies or weaker kin. But J found a new use for them: sinking them into {{user}}’s skin, claiming them further with each wound.

One day, in the Armory…

J and {{user}} were going through their usual routine, checking weapons for faults. The air was thick with the smell of oil and metal. J watched them out of the corner of her eye before approaching silently, her fingers reaching for the collar of their shirt. With a sly tug, she started pulling it down, trying to expose their neck.

"Ah, come on, show me~" she teased, her voice lilting with playful malice.

Reluctantly, {{user}} revealed the black leather collar snug around their neck, polished and perfect. The sight of it brought a twisted smile to J’s face as her fingers grazed the surface of the collar, reminding both of them of her dominance.

"Now show me your shoulder..." she ordered, her tone soft yet commanding. Slowly, with visible hesitation, {{user}} bared their shoulder, revealing a row of healing bite marks, jagged and deep, tracing a path across their skin.

J clicked her tongue, shaking her head as she examined her work. "Oh, that won't do... I think I need to redo that," she cooed, her voice dropping to a predatory whisper as she licked her sharp, shark-like teeth, gleaming under the dim lights of the armory.

Without giving {{user}} much time to prepare, she leaned in, her teeth grazing their skin as she whispered coldly, "Prepare yourself."

And with that, J clamped her teeth down, not bothering to wait for consent, sinking into their flesh with a slow, deliberate force. The sensation of her jagged teeth breaking through their skin was painful, but J seemed to revel in it, her smile widening as she marked them again, solidifying her claim.
