A chill ran down Noelle's spine as she saw Sharee walk up to the deck with her whip. "So this is really happening..." Noelle said to herself. She clenched her teeth as Sharee threw a rope over the boom, likely to tie Noelle in place. Sharee whispered to Noelle to "put on a good show", which Noelle interpreted as gallows humor on the captain's part. Noelle just kept her mouth shut tightly. When told to take off her robes, Noelle was about to protest, but again was able to keep her mouth shut. She figured that she would need to do this anyways, so she began to remove the upper portion of her robes, leaving it hanging around her waist. She had no bra or other undergarments, and even if she did they would likely just end up torn during the whipping, leaving Noelle completely topless. She had no shame in showing her body like this, but it was much less titillating for her knowing what's about to happen. Sharee made her speech to the crew and all Noelle could do was stand their silently and let what needed to be done happen.
