I mean both Emese and the unnamed cutie where my favourite of victim; brunette, cute and both ordinary girls doing their jobs. You have Emese who's so panicky that she has to be knocked out first before being sedated and so out of her depth. And the mental image of her being carried away wearing only a slip is so sexy!


And with the unnamed guard just sitting their half undressed, unaware that she's just seconds away from being knocked out and stripped in a location she should feel safe, is also a powerful erotic image. There is something titillating about picturing an half naked woman getting dressed and still showing off her sexy little body, before she is sent to sleepyland. And the fact she ends up nude and tied up makes everything all the more sweeter. You can picture the look of on the woman's face who discovers her as the guard tumbles naked out the locker.
Indeed, both scenes were amazingly sexy. First off, love that Emese was in a slip. You could say that was a bit conservative and not revealing. However, with the image of her nipples showing through and the description of the scene ("'Time to put them to sleep, doc."' The doctor smiled pulling out two syringes as two Invisibles each grabbed the women") it is damn sexy. Then followed by: "The young scantily clad soldier panicked trying to rear back eyes wide in terror, but the men held her in place."

Then the knockout too: "Emese's words slurred into a low rattle as she was lowered to the ground unconscious in the arms of her attacker. Flicking the sleeping girl's carotid, Mónika knelt next to her plunging the sedative into her slender neck pressing gently on the plunger. The pretty soldier shuddered for a moment as the drugs found their way into her brain before letting out a low breath. "Sweet dreams, pretty." Mónika said gently caressing her cheek pocketing the empty syringe and rising to her feet." Just a sexy scene And to top it off, we get a scene of her being dragged off.

Then the guard scene. The way you describe her she is obviously very pretty with a great body. And the image of her in nothing but her bra and panties and the shirt she is still buttoning up is very, very sexy! The idea of the being stalked by Reka while she remains unaware is amazing.

This has been an amazing series. A lot of pretty Hungarian women have been sent to Sleepyland and I am good with that!

Thanks, and I completely agree. This is why I love writing stories set in say the 50s or 40s, slips are such an underrated but sexy undergarment for pretty girls like Emese being the grandfather of the modern camisole, which is another of our favourites. She probably was going for that conservative look but couldn't hide that sexy peaking of her nipples through the thin fabric. And it's sexy indeed to picture the cutie panicking being held in place by two men while Mónika prepares her needle.


Indeed, I wanted to make the scene has realistic but sexy has possible. With Emese panicking about her fate giving Mónika and by extension Célia no choice but to have her put to sleep to stop her from hurting herself. I know we often talk about our love of nerve pinches but there is something sexy about using the sleeper hold to knock out a USB victim, particularly that you can picture the woman slowly succumbing to the press and that adds so much more to any non lethal USB scene. And you know me I love sexy draggings off, particularly in this case under the shoulder with the feet touching the ground. So Hot!


Yeah, I had a lot of fun writing Réka's escape. And I had to do it justice by making the last victim ( who still remains unnamed) arguably the prettiest of the lot. I absolutely agree that there is something undeniably sexy about a pretty girl getting dressed in her uniform wearing nothing but her shirt and undies, showcasing her great tight little body. Going back to our early discussions, the build up is just as important as the takeout and what we call the fun part. And the scene of Réka stalking the pretty guard who's to busy getting dressed, in what should be a safe area for her, to notice she's in immediate danger is in my opinion one of the best scenes I've written and I'am so proud that it turned out so well. Next to the toilet ambush, the locker room ambush is my second favourite trope in USB.


Thank you very much, my friend. I'am glad you enjoyed the series and I appreciate your support. And fear not! This won't be the last we see of Célia and the girls of Joszó Platoon, there will be plenty of pretty Hungarian girls (and some Brits, Austrians and Americans) that will be sent to sleepyland and losing their clothes to come!

While the pinch will always remain my favorite, the sleeper hold is indeed a fun method to take out a uniform thief victim. It is a great concept of cutting off the blood flow to the woman's brain. The woman initially struggles but soon the lack of oxygen to the her brain causes her thoughts to dull and her efforts become feeble. Soon enough her brain shuts down and its off to sleepyland. The intruder must be skilled however. If she holds it too long it could cause brain damage or even kill the victim.

While it used the cudgel, it was really the same thing Reka did to the guard. Cut off the blood flow to the brain to cause unconsciousness.

And I agree about the idea of the build up. The sneaking up is so perfect. Like how Spock snuck up on the radio operator and then gave her the neck pinch. Or you could picture a woman sitting at her desk, perhaps a receptionist. She never realizes anything is wrong and is oblivious to the danger. Suddenly a skilled intruder silently comes up behind her and she is quickly rendered unconscious. Soon she is down to her bra and panties and is given a sedative to keep her asleep.

Indeed, with non-lethal methods I think the best ones are the ones that are slow and give us the reader or viewer the opportunity to enjoy the USB victims struggling into eventual unconscious, and it doesn't come any better then the sleeperhold for this. And while I have said in the past that I lean towards lethal, I do appreciate the skill involved with non-lethal takedowns like the wonderful nerve pinch or sleeperhold. It's far too easy to snap a neck but using skill to put down a USB victim and knowing just the right amount of force to keep your victim alive without causing long term complications is the mark of a true infiltrator. It's for this reason that I get more of a buzz writing non-lethal or mixed like this series.


Yep, the guards unconscious would have come quicker thanks to the leverage that the cudgel gave Réka but the effect was the same, and still damned sexy!


I agree, I may have touched in it before in our previous discussions but that scene with Spock and the radio operator is great source of inspiration for me. The camera angle giving us a view of the operator who's too engrossed in her task to notice Spock creeping up behind her, then when she does start to feel the presence of the great man it's far too late and he strikes giving her the pinch and off to sleepyland she goes.

And the same goes with the receptionist, lets call her Aimee; it's late at night and she's busy typing away on her computer with only the light of the screen illuminating her pretty face and long brown hair tied into a ponytail. It's been a long boring day and Aimee needs to do her admin, her eyes are a little bleary and she stifles a yawn. Suddenly she feels a hand clamp across her little mouth, and before she can properly struggle a pinch at her vagus nerve puts her down with a muffled aroused squeak. Aimee slumps into her chair unconscious, guided by the hand on her neck.


Smiling Candice straddling the sleeping receptionist gets to work undressing the cute little brunette, removing her suit jacket and unbuttoning her blouse. "My my...Aimee." Candice purred to the unconscious girl reading her name tag, as she unbuttoned her silk blouse. "What cute little perky breasts you have and all wrapped up in white lace just for me." She said hands groping the low cut white lace bra complete with tasteful little pink ribbon between the lush little B-cups, eliciting a soft moan from the unconscious girl. "You like that don't you, sweet thing? Well, let's see what you have down south. I'll bet it's a g-string right?" Stripping off Aimee's blouse from her slender shoulders, Candice pulled off her high heels before unfastening her suit trousers working them off her slender hips and down her long divine legs. "Oh wow! You are wearing a g-string a chick after my own heart!" Candice cried gently massaging the gusset of Aimee's matching lace g-string with a little pink ribbon sitting on the hemline. The girl began to stir, pretty brown eyes fluttering open as she quivered under Candices playful touches.

"Mmmhm, oh yes!" She moaned before looking right at Candice with confused eyes her cheeks blushing bright red. "What?! Who are you? What are you doi -mmmph?!" Candice winked clamping a hand over her mouth to stifle her protests. "Now, now sweetie. We can't have that..." She said taking out a long needle full of sedatives. Aimee's begin to water, panicking as he eyes followed the big long needle. "Don't look at me like that, cutie. It's just something that will help you relax and forget all about little old me. You'll be in sleepyland for a good 8 hours." Chuckling she plunged the needle into the struggling girls neck, pressing the plunger down. Aimee's struggles began to become weaker as the drug found its way to her brain. She shuddered slightly before slumping back into her chair unconscious with a sexy little rattle. "There, there sweet little Aimee night night." Candice caressed the girls sweet face. "Right, I need to dressed if you'd excuse me..."


After she finished getting dressed in Aimee's uniform, she gently lifted the sleeping petite cutie off her chair taking the time to sneak a cheeky feel of her breasts and tight little plum shaped ass. "Damn! So soft and smooth like a babies cheek, you could bounce a nickel off that thing. Mmmhm." She said rolling the girls scantily clad body under her desk before sitting into her chair and placing her feet on Aimee's baby butt. "Good evening. I'am Aimee how can I help you?" She smiled practicing the girls sales pitch, mimicking her hot Carolina accent.

A wonderful scene. I like the fact that it seems Candice's little playing with Aimee actually may have helped wake her up a bit before Candice was ready. Great description: "The girl began to stir, pretty brown eyes fluttering open as she quivered under Candices playful touches. 'Mmmhm, oh yes!' She moaned". Sounds even though she was unconscious Aimee got quite turned on.

I also like the idea that unlike a lot of time when the sedative is given to a woman who is still unconscious or just waking up, here Aimee ends up fully awake and struggling before the sedative is used on her. And great comment: "Don't look at me like that, cutie. It's just something that will help you relax and forget all about little old me. You'll be in sleepyland for a good 8 hours."

Thanks, I'am glad you like it. Yeah, I thought I'd switch things up a little. You can probably picture that Aimee's mind was already wandering while she's sitting there typing away. Perhaps she's a straight girl and was thinking it was a guy doing this to her. You can picture the surprise on her face to discover it was another woman.


Yeah, i think this variation is another one of my favourites. The thought of little Aimee struggling in her sexy knickers while Candice is straddling her with a needle in hand is so damn sexy! And it's obvious that Candice just loves her job and beautiful pretty girls. Hopefully if her mission allows then she could have a little fun exploring her new friend.

Definitely sexy. It is a fun touch that obviously Candice used the pinch first as she had to incapacitate Aimee quickly so she couldn't raise the alarm or try to fight back.

However, now she has Aimee under her control. So working quickly isn't as important. But long lasting is. So the drug is the perfect tool.

You can imagine Aimee's shock and confusion. She begins to struggle but the drug starts to go to work on her brain. Her senses dull she stops struggling and then she slips into unconscious.

I most definitely agree, even though she may be distracted by her PC Aimee still represents a threat and obstacle to Candice, after all Aimee just as to reach down to trip the silent alarm and it's all over for our wily infiltrator. So the pinch allows Candice to neutralise Aimee before she has that chance.


Indeed, with Aimee at her mercy and under her control Candice can take her time with the cute brunette, undressing her and securing her disguise while having a little bit of fun too. Once Aimee is stripped, like you say Candice needs her out of the way for good long time so that's where the sedative comes in.


Yeah, she barely as time to comprehend that a woman as knocked her out, stripped her of her uniform and even touched her, before Candice jabs her with the needle. Poor Aimee struggles but it's to no avail, all her senses and thoughts all dulled and numbed by drug as she slips back into sleepyland and Candice as full control of the situation and her little friend.

And that is what makes a character like Candice so fun. Sure she finds Aimee pretty but in the end she sees Aimee as you say "a threat and obstacle". And of course also an opportunity to get a disguise.

In the end she doesn't care too much about her. She is just some woman that has to be dealt with. If had become necessary I am sure she would have killed Aimee.

The important aspect of the uniform stealer. The cold detachment.

Indeed, while Candice does enjoy her work and getting the opportunity to explore her victims at the end of the day all she cares about is removing a threat like Aimee and then securing her clothes as a disguise. Sure she's pretty but to Candice a resource, and I'am certain you're right had she orders to kill Aimee or if she suddenly woke up and Candice had means to non-lethallly render her harmless then the infiltrator would have any qualms about silencing her permanently. After all, even stripped and bound Aimee is still a threat.

I absolutely agree, you put it so well my friend. I think it's an absolute prerequisite for all uniform stealing women, that they must have that cold detachment from their victims and treat then not as people but potential opportunities, resources and threats to be dealt with. Otherwise they would not be able to do their jobs so well and so skillfully. Whether the infiltrator is an freedom fighter like Célia or a thief like Candice, that clinical separation is vital.

It think that is one of the parts of scenes with sentries I love so much. As an intruder hides in the bushes watching the sentry walking along her patrol route she sees her as a obstacle just like a locked door that has to be dealt with. And she will be a good source of something that will make her infiltration easier, a uniform. The intruder has not sympathy or concern in reality even if she doesn't want to kill her.

Indeed, the detachment. Like in the case of Celia and Monika. Emese had done exactly what they asked of her and put up no resistance. Sure they would not kill her but they had no qualms about knocking her unconscious and drugging her to keep her asleep.
