Stiletto only smiled as the alarms began to blare, glancing up into the shadows far overhead.  It had been a risky gambit, but one that ultimately paid off.  Not that she hadn't had other means of dealing with the crowd, but supplies were scarce and she preferred not to waste certain bits of contraband that she'd collected over the years.  The stunrod was just the least alarming among them.<br/><br/>"What's going on is that we have a friend in high places.  I believe you've already met.  Normally that alarm means you'd better get your ass in a cage.  There are far worse things than horny men in this place, and they're liable to tear you limb from limb.  I do hope you're a cat person."<br/><br/>She gestured to the woman with her hand and immediately set off at a brisk and cautious pace, eye shifting wildly in search of something.  Only when things seemed safe did she begin speaking again, and even then she didn't look Jemma in the eyes.  "You may call me Stiletto, if you wish, though names mean very little here until you've proven that you can survive long enough for them to matter.  You have very much to learn and I have very little time in which to tell you, so I'll have to leave you in capable hands until I find another chance to break in here.  There are two very important rules that you should keep in mind above all others.  The first is keeping your cell locked whenever you're inside it outside it, to keep the cats and men out.  The second is to never draw any sort of attention to yourself, lest you draw the ire of the Beast."<br/><br/>The name seemed to set her on edge, and she halted on the catwalk to listen.  Silence.  She went a bit more quickly now, reminded of how little time she likely had.  "He's an Enforcer.  You'll know him when you see him.  When you<em>hear</em>him.  The others will only rape you if you're lucky, maybe kill you if they're the rough sort.  So long as you maintain solidarity with the female prisoners and with Judis, the guard that set the alarm off, you won't have much to worry about there.  The others listen to Judis.  But the Beast answers only to the Warden, and the Warden doesn't keep him on a leash.  If he gains an unhealthy interest in you, it would behoove you to simply kill yourself and deny him the pleasure.  There are things you can do to a person that are far worse than simply killing them, and he knows them all."<br/><br/>It wasn't long before they arrived outside of Blaire's cage, where she and Liberty were holed up.  The woman smiled crookedly at them, rapping on the door with her knuckles.  "Long time no see, Liberty!  Blaire.  Got some new meat that's gonna need someone to get her set up down here.  Can I rely on you two?  I don't dare stay long.  They officially declare me a fugitive yet?
