Chapter 20 - Lightwhip (Ferengi Energy Whip) (Patreon)

"If you want me to whip you, my little Bajoran slut, all you had to do was ask,” I flirted in a sultry voice, with a smile on my face. Kira always did enjoy some mildly degrading dirty talk. “It's something I've been tinkering with," I explained. "It's based on a Ferengi energy whip."

The energy whip was a hand-held weapon used by the Ferengi. When lashed, it fired a pulse of energy that could stun or kill a target. Apparently the energy could be sent like a projectile or be conducted through the whip itself when it physically hit a target. Using the whip physically could again be used to stun or kill. I was intrigued by its potential applications for torture and for going around corners and what not. It felt almost like a poor man’s lightwhip from Star Wars, which, admittedly, played a not so small part in my interest. Was it the height of blasphemy to be thinking of something from Star Wars while in the Star Trek dimension? Maybe. Did I care? No.
