The maintenance cycle is a process Alexandra and Lumina came up with to maintain and keep up Alexandra’s hygiene and general needs, once becoming a Bane.
The cleaning process is made up of the following phases:
- The urine that has accumulated inside the control core unit, in Alexandra’s womb, is drained.
- To clean Alexandra’s bowels and entire digestive tract, two cycles of special cleaning solution are used as enemas. Both enemas feature huge amounts of cleaning solution, resulting in Alexandra’s belly severely swelling and inflating. Once the entire volume of one cycle has been pumped into Alexandra, her belly is inflated so heavily, it looks like she’s over 9 months pregnant. To let the cleaning solution take effect, the enema port on her anal plug is sealed by Lumina, trapping the huge amount of liquid within Alexandra’s bowels, for as long as needed or wanted. This, most of the time, takes around 20–30 minutes per session, so the entire enema phase can easily take an hour. Most of the cleaning solution is pumped into her bowels, but with the feeding connection running through her entire digestive tract, a substantial volume is also distributed into her small intestine and stomach. With this, every single part of Alexandra’s remaining digestive tract is properly cleaned and treated.
- After the enema, water is pumped into Alexandra’s bowels and stomach for her necessary hydration needs, as well as enough for the chemical engine to continue performing the CO₂ recycling.
- Once both enema sessions are completed, Alexandra’s oxygen and food tanks are resupplied, again, through the feeding connection running through her entire body.
The entire maintenance process regularly takes more than an hour, with Lumina often making use of the pleasure and torture systems within Alexandra during it to play with, punish, or reward her slave.
