Chloroform-Dampened Cloth (Jek's Instrument)

A crudely woven scrap of coarse fabric, damp with the pungent chemical reek of chloroform. Sharaz Jek uses it to subdue Peri Brown by pressing it over her mouth and nose, muffling her protests as she struggles against his grip. The cloth’s threads darken where the liquid soaks through, glistening under the dim lighting of Chellak’s quarters in Command Quarters on Androzani Minor. The chloroform renders her limbs heavy and her vision blurs, facilitating Jek’s control.

Jeks kidnaps Peri in Chellaks quarters

The chloroform cloth serves as Sharaz Jek’s chosen weapon for subjugation, pressed against Peri’s mouth and nose to render her insensate within seconds. Its coarse weave soaks up a pungent, volatile chemical that stings eyes and numb limbs, ensuring compliance through medical incapacitation rather than mere force. It glistens under dim lighting as her struggles weaken into unconsciousness.

Before: Clean, dry, folded in Jek’s black leather grip near the entrance
