If for some reason she was not ready to take a particular woman's place right away could she at least be able to control her for awhile?Stormtrooper1990 wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2024 2:38 pm
That is certainly is. All stemming from thousands of years of evolution. Zenobian female pheromones allowed them to gain an advantage over the stronger males, placating their more aggressive tendencies. Indeed, it still is used today by Zenobian female police or Gravball officials. Although use of their pheromones and other abilities on other Zenobian females is prohibited. Only XS members have authorisation to utilise their abilities when they are visiting other planets, on "vacations" and sabbatico's. To replace the females of the local population to blend in and conduct investigations. And killing is expressly prohibited. Not that Ellana would anyway, as a scientist she is against that.
The pheromones last about 10- 30 minutes, depending on the subject. So Ellana as to be quick when she applies it. In the example you describe, say if Ellana had caressed a girl in the mouth of an alley and was about kiss her to drag her deeper inside. Suddenly a police officer interrupts her (particularly in more conservative parts of the world.) she can just say that she and her girlfriend are just kissing. They apologise( Ellana gently uses a little more, thus her victim says that to.) the officer moves away and Ellana can tell her victim to go further into the alley for more privacy. She can exhibit quite a bit of control over the subject, as the pheromones override inhibitions and dominate through suggestion.
