When you get back to the cockpit, you go straight to the first Kichi guard you saw. “Erin, will you lock the doors between the ships?” you request. “I want to know that we will not be disturbed.”
“The doors are secure,” Erin notifies you as you hear something shut and lock on some other part of the ship.
“Also, I need you to stop tickling this one Kichi for a little bit; I need to talk to her,” you command. Erin beeps as she stops tickling the Kichi, although she still restrains the alien’s hands and tail. “What is your name?”
“I am Chae of the Kichi Guard,” the female guard reluctantly responds. “What are you doing in a restricted zone?”
“I’m asking the questions here,” you declare, tickling Chae’s belly for a few seconds and making her laugh. “I want to put out some rules here. First of all, you don’t get to ask any questions. A violation of this will get you tickled. Secondly, if you refuse to answer a question, I will tickle you. Thirdly, if you give an unsatisfactory answer, I will tickle you. Basically, I’m going to ask you questions, and if you do not give me a good answer within a reasonable time, you get tickled. Do you understand?” Chae nods, so you continue, “Why is this part of space restricted?”
“The Kichi Imperial Guard is passing by here to go back to Princess Shaiya,” Chae answers.
“I am the first human to ever have contact with the Kichi,” you announce. “Why would you suspect that I am here to harm you, even though there is nothing to indicate it? I even informed you that we were on a peaceful mission before you boarded, and I was not lying.”
“We needed to make sure,” Chae replies. “We are never sure of the intentions when a ship docks with us.”
“You lie,” you claim, tickling the Kichi’s stomach again with your fingers. “You slowed down and let us link up with you. If you did not want us to link with you, you should have just sped by and avoided us.”
“STAHAHAP!” Chae yells in ticklish laughter. “I’HIHIHILL TEHEHELL YOUHUHUHU!” You stop, and Chae catches her breath for ten seconds. “We did not recognize your vessel. Since we were heading back to the princess, we wanted to make sure that you were not planning on taking over our ship. If you had done this, you could have easily lured the princess in and taken her hostage or killed her.”
“Well, then why did you board after I told you of the peaceful mission?” you demand to know. “I identified myself and my purpose before you came on, but you still came at me armed.”
“Like I said before, we hoped to be sure of your mission,” Chae dictates. “When we were convinced of your peaceful intentions, we would have quickly let you go.”
“So you were going to tickle the truth out of me?” you wonder.
“Yes, that is what would have happened,” Chae confirms, a little more relaxed. “You would have likely been released within the hour.”
“How can I be sure that you are telling the truth?” you inquire, grabbing her feather spear from the ground. “Maybe I should use the same tactics that would have been used on me.” You look over the spear for a few seconds, feeling the feather at the end.
“No, there’s no reason to do that,” Chae stutters, worried.
“I’m not convinced that you are telling the truth yet,” you proclaim, turning back to Chae. “I think that I need to, as you were going to do to me, tickle the truth out of you.”
Wielding the feather spear in your right hand, you put the tip of the weapon on Chae’s right armpit and start moving it back and forth. “HAHAHAHA!” she laughs out as she squirms around in the bondage. Using the spear to tickle the first armpit, you begin wiggling your fingers around Chae’s left armpit. “NOHOHOHO!”
You keep tickling Chae like this for five minutes, and then you suddenly stop. “Are you sure that you have told me the whole truth?” you interrogate.
“Yes,” she quickly answers. “I told you everything that I know.”
“I’m not convinced,” you reveal. “Erin, I’m going to need some help with this. Can you get her stomach and feet? I’m going to keep tickling the armpits.” The mechanical claws return to Chae’s sides and feet, vibrating as they make contact, while you put the feather spear and your fingers back into her hollows.
“NOHOHOHO!” Chae begs with panicked laughter. “PLEHEHEHEASE STAHAHAHAP!” The Kichi prisoner squirms around, trying to escape the tickle torture that you are putting her through.
“I’m sorry, but I still don’t think you are telling the truth,” you declare. “I think that you were going to tickle me until I told you that I was here to harm you, even though it would have been a lie. You would have used that to take me prisoner aboard your ship, and then you would have been able to keep tickling me. That was the real reason you allowed us to dock with you. You just wanted to make me a tickle prisoner.”
“AHAHAHALRIHIHIGHT!” Chae yells out ten minutes later, giving in to your story of the situation.
“Erin, we can stop tickling her now,” you announce, taking away the feather spear. The mechanical claws stop tickling and immediately retreat, and you give Chae a chance to catch her breath. “Did you agree to my statement? Were you just here to tickle me until I gave you the opportunity to make me a tickle prisoner?”
“Yes,” she admits. “We were hoping to bring back a tickle prisoner with us, and we acquired one yet. We were almost done with the mission, and we were desperate, so we decided to link up with you and tickle you. The ship can get pretty boring when there is nothing really significant to do, and a ticklee would have been a nice distraction for us. When you tried to convince us of your peaceful mission before we boarded, we thought that you would be easy bait. We figured that since you would not want to compromise the peacefulness, you would have given into anything, even tickling interrogation. Once we started interrogating you, it was only a matter of time before you confessed to something. Confession would have meant that we could keep you, and you would be our new tickle prisoner. That is the real reason that we boarded the ship.”
You stick the feather spear in her bellybutton, making her laugh a little more, and then you cease and proclaim, “Well, now that you have come clean, I might be able to make something work with you. You see, I still want to make peaceful relations with the Kichi, and now you know for sure that this is the truth. I want you to understand that I would not have tickled you like this if you had not come aboard my ship with such a hostile attitude. Is that clear?”
“Yes,” Chae acknowledges. “I see that now, and I apologize for my crew’s behavior. It was for a fun reason for us, but I now realize what the consequences would have been.”
“Perhaps I could go and meet this Princess Shaiya of yours,” you suggest. “Your crew, with the exception of you, would have to stay on board being tickled to ensure that you do not try to deceive me again. We could begin to make peaceful relations there, and perhaps our species could return to our homes with a better understanding of each other. How does that sound?”
