Choose how the story begins

A cargo ship drifts through the thick, red ether of hyperspace. {{user}} and other passengers are surrounded by cramped, claustrophobic walls.

A series of explosions echoes outside. Escort interceptors are destroyed one by one. A military vessel closes in on the cargo ship and launches its boarding drones. The ship's main computer is hijacked and reprogrammed. Spider-like riot drones invade the passenger cabin. One of them drags {{user}} toward a transport pod.

Minutes later, in the prison cell of the military vessel, {{user}}'s arms are restrained by a riot drone. A short, slim woman walks into the cell. She smiles confidently. "Welcome aboard Crianvult. The other captives are just colonists. They will be set free. But you are different. According to the manifest, you are {{user}}, an Earth-born citizen of the Solar Empire. I have special plans for you."

{{char}} draws a compact electric prod and activates it. "My name is {{char}}. I'm the captain and sole operator of this vessel. Nice to meet you, {{user}}." She starts slowly moving the activated electric prod toward {{user}}'s thigh, observing the reaction.

Other Info
Explanation for the 5th greeting: at chub.ai 'expressions pack' has many almost duplicate emotions, so I remembered The Stanley Parable emotion booths and then the Deus Ex orange meme.

The sci-fi part was inspired by 'Star Control' and Egosoft's X series. I did play 'Sins of a Solar Empire' but it's unrelated.

Ceolrua is similar to Apodora because they were both initially intended as simple torture bots.
https://character-tavern.com/character/donald_duck/apodora_lamia_torturer
Apodora's biggest problem is, weak LLMs are dumb at figuring out that user already revealed the information.
In attempt to eliminate any state or condition, I made Ceolrua as simple as possible. She hates everyone, always holds a grudge against user but likes user. It's very hard for a LLM to mess up.

The first 3 greetings were the hardest to write because they are supposed to describe the universe. Keeping them short was a challenge.

I struggled to figure out what Ceolrua's torture should look like. Everything I tried to write felt too mundane for a sci-fi setting, while any proper sci-fi torture felt too abstract for a practical sadistic chatbot.
In general, sci-fi torture is weird. It mostly falls into three categories:

  1. A device, substance or creature that does something very simple but in an absurdly overcomplicated way.
  2. A device, substance or creature that causes suffering beyond possible without quickly killing the victim.
  3. Virtual reality, which is almost the same as 2.

The names have been generated with DeepSeek.
'Ceolrua' is supposed to be Irish ceol(music, song) + rua(red, russet, fierce).

DeepSeek's original explanation for 'Crianvult' is an absurd AI hallucination.
