Infiltration of the corridors of power, achieved with less-visibly subjugated women, is a great theme. It will cause those women who retain their free-will a greater challenge - how to detect the enslaved/controlled women in their midst before they, too, are acquired by the mind-slavers. "Will she realise before she is taken?" could be our motto for 2010.
How about a pilot story, perhaps spreading from a telecomms company's corporate headquarters, where the (subjugated) female head of product research pitches Greentooth to the female board members following her business lunch with Max Indeks. She achieves the aim of her Master easily, with the fitment of a sample Greentooth unit into the ear of every woman on the Board (as part of 'proving' the "feminine and convenient" proposition for the lightweight, discreet earpieces) prior to a targeted rollout amongst the senior female staff of the company. She stands before the new thralls, her long hair swept back in a pony-tail, perfectly displaying the green glow in her ear, which signifies the loss of her free-will - and that of every woman looking at her as the brightness fades from their enslaved eyes. Then, as their control levels are deepened with the fitment of control collars (and with corporate scarves neatly covering their necks to match their professional-image business suits), the new corporate drones are the mindless tools of the mind-slaver as he works to implement a dastardly plan - to deliver a Greentooth unit into every delicate female ear in the city.........
Who can stop the onward march of the Greentooth mind-slavers? Bring on the super-heroines - or a gutsy heroine who realises (almost too late, after a near-miss with her Greentoothed best friend who almost catches her for enslavement) what is going on!
Happy New Year from across the Pond.
