Description

A subject’s submission may be encouraged through the infliction of violence upon their flesh. Instruments such as the Rod of Pain are discouraged due to the unwieldiness of their application. While it shows great effects in the realm of combat, the Rod’s proposed use in Science is preposterous. We are in the business of submitting and modifying the body, not crippling its function. --An excerpt from the defaced introduction of “On Re-ordering the Image”
