<<set $main_desc to "$Player_alias finds herself almost choking on that heady purple smog, smelling exactly as the colour might imply; wine, incense, the spice of darkness, and underlying depravity. These are the chambers of her dark mistress, the floor thick with the strange smog pouring from a portal built into the northern wall, flanked by banners bearing a symbol she does not recognize. The smog can't quite fill the room, as it pours out of the stairwell directly before the portal - smart! Other objects of interest in the room include the Sorceress herself, draped over a luxuriantly comfortable looking reclining and cushioned seat, her flaming gaze focused on the strange alter to the south of the room. Runic text flitters and flashes and changes with the tracking of her eyes... $Player_alias feels her own eyes cross when she tries to read what it says.

"And you're certain the artefact has been set up correctly?" "Ah-- of course, Mistress Zandra. Double, triple, quadruple!... uh... the one that comes after that, checked!" "Quintuple, you dolt. But good, gooood..." High up in a gloomy tower nestled in the dingiest district of the city, strange things are afoot. The clack of atrociously high-heeled shoes echo off of the aged stone walls, joined by the more subtle, persistent rumpled swish of a long black dress trailing behind strutting legs. A beam of light creeping in through one of the narrow window slots along the top of the tower strikes a belt-wrapped lavender-toned leg, then the next, creeping up a gorgeous body as it advances down the steps towards the center of the room. It crawls across her hips, dress closing just below her thighs to hug and accentuate experienced curves, tightly corseted along her waist to better exaggerate an already impressive bosom marked with a single little black pin-prick beauty spot upon the right breast. Bare shoulders shimmy as she walks, her dress held up by dark magicks and evil miracles. She stops as that moonbeam cuts across her neck, just barely revealing a glimpse of her onyx-black lips and the sharpened teeth that lurk beneath them as her coiling, spade-tipped tail suddenly cracks with the force of a whip against the ground behind her. "Well? Activate it. I'm long overdue for a refreshment..." the dark mistress groans, letting her dress slip down further to better bare the flesh of her chest -- while this vessel could easily penetrate the paltry protection of the leather belts knitting her dress together at the front, this simply feels more dramatic. Drama, it should be noted, is at least a solid half of being a successful sorcerer. <<button [[Continue->Intro2]]>><</button>>

Hobbling along in nervous little skippy jumps of energy, her assistant -- a frankly rather obsolete model she picked up after her last minion mysteriously fell into a hellish void portal -- makes the final adjustments of artefact upon its plinth. It looks much like an urn, placed carefully onto its side. This is likely because it's an urn, placed carefully onto its side. The faded black paint across its surface wraps right around to tell a tale of the foiling of a great menace to mankind, but it's irrelevant for a variety of uninteresting reasons. To the dark mistress, anyway. We'd probably find them fascinating and enlightening, but I'm not being paid enough to get into it - or at all. All you need to know is that what few parts of the artwork survive show a goddess of goddess-y design -- bright eyes, slender waist, hair so long you could use it for several terribly elaborate bondage scenarios -- striking down a two-headed beast with lightning shot from her palm. Rooted in reality or otherwise, there can be no denying that the urn still carries a fantastic trace of Glow energy, that most valuable of magicks. It simply needs to be coaxed out so that it may be put to good use... and so, the assistant in her drab little alchemist's coat, a mere half the height of the Mistress -- though this is more a testament to her master's imposing height than any lack of her own -- steps away with a simple little thumb-activated button switch in her hand, connected to the plinth via a length of slender cable. She frowns for a moment, gaze distant as she mentally calculates the applications of alchemical powder. She feels a sense of distant unease, the kind you experience when you know you've forgotten something but can't remember what that thing is -- shaking her head sharply, the hooded girl tugs at her coat worn over very little, and holds the plunger aloft high. <<button [[Continue->Intro3]]>><</button>>

"Ready, O' Dark One!" she squeaks from behind her hood, throwing a salute before she hits the button with more force than required -- again, drama is important -- at which point a fantastic purple glow envelops the urn, illuminating a permanently-startled face behind her hood, not to mention the lustful gleam in the grinning face of her MILF-ish mistress, eager to receive her bounty of ancient power!... ... Which is why it comes as something of a terrifying shock and exhausted disappointment, respectively, when a great bolt of energy shoots not from the yawning jug-mouth of the urn pointed at the Mistress, but instead breaking out of the rounded bottom, flung right out of the large window behind it. Silence reigns for a few terrible seconds as the glow dims down and dies, briefly illuminating the room from outside before the bolt arcs down across the rooftops far enough to fade behind tiles and towers, leaving the pair in moonlit gloom once more. Those few seconds seem to drag on for hours for the trembling young woman, thumb still tightly pressed down upon the button, her eyes nervously flitting beneath her feature-obscuring hood from her mistress glaring off into the distance, to the rapidly decaying urn crumbling into dust in an uneven pile around the base of the plinth. <<button [[Continue->Intro4]]>><</button>>

"... Alika?" "Y... yes ma'am?" "Give my regards to Pilana, if she's still hanging in there." the Mistress sighs, raising her left hand up high before the air is rent with a loud snap of her gloved fingers, other hand adjusting her dress back up. "Wh--YIII--" It takes less than a second for the pitch-black portal to open up beneath the shivering assistant, and even less time for a girthy, ink-black tentacle thicker than her leg to shoot out and coil up around her body in three lazy loops. It harshly squeezes the air out of her before she can get out a good scream, stuffs her mouth full by jabbing right into her left cheek from within, then starts to drag her down into the noisy, moaning abyss below. By the time she finally processes what's happening to her it's too late for her struggles to do anything, and to make matters worse more tentacles begin to rise up, wasting no time in tugging and yanking and tearing at her clothing. With her lower body obscured by the stone slabs of the floor around her, it's not clear what the tentacles do to ellicit a loud, muffled squeak from her stuffed lips before she's fully devoured, the portal shutting promptly and obediently afterwards. Silence once more... For a second or two, until those heels clack upon the stones as the Mistress moves over to that open window and juts her upper body out past the elaborately designed sill, flame-like yellow eyes narrowed in disdain and focus. <<button [[Continue->Intro5]]>><</button>>

"For //fuck's// sake." she scowls, unable to pick out any scorch marks on the walls and tiles before her in the streets below -- it's dark, yes, but the Glow residue would leave a healthy... well, glow, upon the point of impact. "So, it's gone and hunted down a suitable host..." she muses in a voice like slowly running treacle, straightening back up before levitating off of the ground to place a foot upon the windowsill, her dress parting and billowing out behind her to her sides to act as wings at the cost of her decency -- the full moon joined by a pair of generous purple crescents flanked by hourglass hips either side of that agitated whip-like tail. "Fine. I could go for dessert." she shrugs, raising a hand to her mouth with her head tilted back and reaching in with pinched fingers, not even a tremble as she pulls a familiar-looking slime-sodden alchemist's coat from her gullet in one smooth yank. She distastefully tosses it before her into the streets below to ''splat'' upon a low rooftop, cricks her neck with a palm across her collarbone... ... And then she drops out of sight with a step off the edge, twisting and shrinking into a shrieking little bat with frantically-flapping leather-black wings. It swoops low over the discarded garment of her former assistant before pulling up just in time, rounding a corner on the trail of her missing magic. Time to hunt! <<button [[Continue->Intro6]]>><</button>>

Meanwhile... The streets of Darkgate are never truly quiet... especially not in this district of town, where every other doorway leads to some business of shadowy, ill repute. Taverns that host cutthroats and full-time liars, dark apothecaries with stocks brimming with herbs and roots most poisonous... and, of course, dens of sin and carnal pleasures, filling the night with muffled groans, mirth and lusts. Then shouting, and crashing. The relative peace is shattered as a hefty, secure rear door is kicked open from within. A nervous, effeminate giggle is interrupted by a yelp as a lithe, female figure is thrown with force out of the establishment by a man who looks as though elephants feature heavily in his family tree. The girl, on the other hand, appears to be... [[Long of ear and a dime a dozen; an Elf. (Elf!)|IntroCharGen][$player_race to "Elf"]] [[Fluffy in unexpected places; a Varia. (Beastfolk!)|IntroCharGen][$player_race to "Varia"]] [[As unwelcome in that brothel as an Bug; a Klikk.

... As she sails through the air towards a mercifully-placed stack of softened, weather-rotted wooden palettes, features cloaked in the dismal black of the dark alley, the refugee puts her inquisitive mind, aided by copious amounts of alcohol, into deducing precisely where her ingenious plan had gone wrong. The dilemma; after a week of living here in Darkgate she was as penniless and homeless as she'd always been, and every attempt to find work within her frankly minimal skillset had been turned down. Her solution? Worm her way into one of those fancy brothels full of silks, chocolates and tongue-stainingly potent wines and burrow into one of those copious pillow-piles, emerging only for emergencies like food. PyksiesToday at 1:05 AM While she considered a number of possible flaws in her incredible plan, perhaps the major defining factor of failure was her mistaking a rather large bottle of heavily-sweetened fermented fruit juices for... well, un-fermented fruit juices. Given that her intoxication numbs her body to the point that landing face-first into the immediately crumpled wood pile only hurts a bit instead of a lot, however, she dismisses this naysaying train of thought with a giggle, left upsidedown with her backside against the wall and her weight awkwardly placed upon her neck and shoulders. Her swimming vision has her seeing quadruple, double... and then, as the warm light of the brothel's rear entrance is eclipsed by the hulking brute who threw her out, singular. She can't help but wince, partly out of concern for her well-being, and partly out of pity for the man and whatever unfortunate thing had happened to his blacked and swollen right eye. Then, as he leans over her with a scowl one reserves only for people who've given them a horrific black eye, she remembers; that was her fault! But how had she?... Oh, yes, now it's all coming back to her... She!... <<set $player_hp to 18>> [[Just punched him when he dragged her out of her pillow-fort, of course. (Strength)|Intro8][$player_strength to 2]] [[Tripped him up as she darted between his legs! Not her fault he landed on his fat face.

<<if $player_strength == 2>>Oooooh. Right. She freaked out when he pulled her up out of her pillow nest by the scruff of her vest and, in her panicked flailings, socked him right in the eye. He probably wasn't expecting a runt like her to pack such a strong righr hook! She flashes him an apologetic smile, but given that she's upside-down, the expression must be hard to read... for it only makes his snarl all the more vicious!<</if>><<if $player_agility == 2>>Well! Technically it wasn't her fault he fell down, it was his fault for trying to keep up with someone as fast as her! One doesn't get by on the streets of Darkgate - or indeed, any city high in crime and low in aesthetically pleasing street lighting - without nimble feet. Still, she flashes him an apologetic smile, but given that she's upside-down, the expression must be hard to read... for it only makes his snarl all the more vicious!<</if>><<if $player_intelligence == 2>>Oh, right, the bottle-- and it bounced off the wall-- yeah, she remembers now. Even with his snarling face drawing closer to hers, she glances aside in her drunken stupor as she tries to figure out if she meant to do that or not... in a subconscious way, did she make those calculations required for such a perfect strike? She's streetsmart, but is she smart-smart? A nasty smell sharply brings her back to reality, that being his frankly awful breath.She flashes him an apologetic smile, but given that she's upside-down, the expression must be hard to read... for it only makes his snarl all the more vicious!<</if>> She flinches as a finger the size of her fist is jabbed into her face, just narrowly missing contact with her nose. The furious man's body wobbles with each yell and shake of his finger, barely contained in already-oversized garments that reek of perfumed refinement and look to be straining when they should be loose and flowing. Truth be told, the Refugee finds it hard to focus on anything he's saying, and by the time he straightens up, tugs his vest sharply to dust it off and waddles back into the Brothel, she's pleased to find that she hasn't learned a damn thing. This probably explains why she squirms around until her feet touch the ground, awkwardly rolling frontwards into a kneel against the wall she was thrown to, slipping on some rotted wood as she staggeringly stands up and points vaguely in the direction of the door with a hiccup. "Kch-chyeah! You better run!" she mutters, stumbling backwards until she gently impacts the wall - gently not by virtue of her gracefullness when drunk, but by her rather slight frame of body. Grimacing, she looks down at her scant clothing, which has gone from 'pretty dirty' to 'covered in decaying wood and alley slime'. Not the best outcome, then. She starts to brush herself relatively clean of the stuff, but it's something of a losing battle, and before long she's given up as she pushes from the wall, a crack of light from one of the Brothel's windows revealing her roomy sky-blue harem pants fit snugly against her hips, some cheap pointed shoes, and an unevenly-tailored black vest worn over a tattered cream-white undershirt. <<button [[Continue->Intro9]]>><</button>>

Those clothes are all she has... or they were, until a few minutes ago. Smirking, she reaches into her vest's singular pocket, messily sown into the inner folds of the material, and pulls out the solitary item she had time to pilfer before she was caught and thrown out. She's not a stupid girl; something major would be missed, and her punishment would have been far more severe. She makes do with light little trinkets, just enough to get by. Fetching the thing bundled in cloth, she casts a glance at the shut door and moves a little further down the alleyway with an inebriated wiggle in her uneven step, mind briefly cast back to those hip-swaying dancers as she turns her gaze down at her own body. "... I could do that if I wanted to... totally..." she mumbles, hip cocked to one side, another hiccup rending the still air of the alleyway before she shakes her head and refocuses on her prize.

M10, aka Mio, disposable synthetic Mercenary. The MERCANOID division of Balford Synthetics is a PMC group who's combat androids are available for rent for any mission imaginable; recovery of android optional, with failure only resulting in a minor chassis replacement fee. Whilst an experienced 'bot, Mio was recently the victim of downsizing for the MERCANOID division, with her body being sold off and her memory core installed into a second-hand one, which she's still acclimatizing to. She's pretty sure it wasn't a originally a combat model, either... An adult entertainment Startup, Tentacan, has lost control of one of their breeding operations. They intend on taking it back, but first they need someone to go in and fix the orbital launch sled, to secure a valuable shipment of frozen genetically-engineered eggs. Once the goods are out, the facility will be cleaned up by a security team of their own, with less to worry about in terms of collatoral damage. (The employees, after all, are insured.) General concept; short game to test my new Twine framework. Two generic encounters (repeatable), three bosses, one optional boss, two endings; one for completing the optional boss (and repairing a secondary portion of the sled), and a bad ending wherein the broken subsystem requires Mio to stay behind to manually launch the payload, leaving her stranded. -- The Tentacan Product Development Facility is a small section of a larger facility, separated from it and accessible via a shuttle service across a moon without atmosphere. Mio is supposed to be inserted into the Armory - the weapons there will be considered contaminated and will likely be disposed of anyway - via a Breach Pod, a drilling bunker buster which creates a breach in ships, stations or bases and then plugs the gap with its own bulk to prevent atmospheric depressurization. Unfortunately, the base blueprints are outdated, and she lands in a supply closet to the very south of the base, just over from the security room, The Armory is blocked off with tentacle biomass, and will require some method of getting inside. Opposite Security is the docking bay reception, but the hangar beyond is sealed off as part of the lockdown. There for flavour. North is the first corridor, with a break room to the west and access down to the Cargo Sled Launcher to the east. However, a security checkpoint prevents her access. She finds a keycard in the breakroom after defeating a tentacle creature, but it doesn't open this checkpoint; it's for the labs to the north. Going north, Mio can now enter the labs. Lab 2 is smaller, for Byproduct Experimentation, Lab 1 is Mainline Product Research - aka, the tentacles. Inside Lab 2, she can find an acid derived from tentacle monsters used for territorial disputes, which she can use to access the Armory to get a powerful gun. Lab 1 is a large area where most of the scientists are cocooned. After defeating a boss, Mio can also go north to the Pens, but they're sealed off. Going back to the Sled, Mio can access that Engineering area now with a better keycard. From there, she can go north to the Sled itself, fight the final boss, and launch it. To the far East of that area is maintainance, where she finds one more major tentacle monster - a tough customer - minding its own business. If she ignores it, she will discover that the sled's automatic systems are disabled and will require manual launch from the southern observation dome. If she doesn't fix the sled first, she has to fire the rockets in Observation. Watches her ticket home leave, then fights an unwinnable tentacle monster boss and gets captured. Bad end where, once the facility is re-taken, Tentacan Co. decides to keep her after seeing how durable of a breeder she is. If she defeats the optional boss first, good ending, leaves on sled, and then Tentacan purchase her for a full-time contract off of the ailing MERCANOID division. M10 is made head of security for the facility once it's been cleaned up, and earns citizenship on the colony once it expands due to the business brought in by the company. --------- Weaponry; CLASS; MERCANOID BREACHER Mio is equipped with a 'Jack of All Trades' set of low-cost utility parts and on-board weapons. Shoulder-mounted Launcher for Assorted Missiles - SLAM; SLAM F - Fires a fire-based missile. SLAM G - Fires a guided piercing missile. Less damage, but can't miss. SLAM P - Fires an armour-shredding missile. Expensive, but lowers enemy armour. Emergency Shielding; Restores 50% Shield. Core Push - Boosts all stats for 2 turns. Free to use, Free Action. Consumes 10 glow each turn for 4 turns (2 during, 2 after), and if there isn't enough Glow, consumes HP instead. Mio starts with; Zipper Arm Cannon Energy-based gun. Not very powerful, but low-cost, to the point where users will usually replace the gun instead of fixing it should it break, which is likely. Skills; Double Tap and Charge Shot. In the Lab annex, she finds; Shredder Rifle A common but brutal assault rifle employed mostly by security aboard environmentally-sealed facilities, where hull breaches would spell disaster. As a result, the ammunition the gun forms from its internal ammo feeding block is shaped in such a way to be useless against fortified targets, but savage against organic materials. Penalty against Armour, but big damage against targets with 0 or less armour. Skills; Burst Shot, Smart Link, Aimed Shot In the Armory, she can find; ONI-TECH 'Torch Club' Kanobo; A gigantic kanobo club covered in blowtorch-like vents that eject and focus plasma into small 'spikes'. On-site for testing the usefulness of a particularly tentacle monster byproduct as plasma fuel. Result; promising! Skills; Skullcrush, Homerun, Flare, Rocket Swing and... Gorav Multicannon On-site for major emergencies, but no one got to it in time. The Gorav Multicannon is named after an alien species' ancient god of war, and it shows. The Gorav is not only a high-powered heavy autocannon, but also a flamethrower AND beam rifle! Skills; Explosive Round, Flamethrower, Incineration Cannon, Ammunition Dump -- Mio can also find an Armour upgrade in the Armory. Duravest; An all-purpose torso armour vest with thick padding to protect against physical and elemental sources of damage. Simple, but popular. -- Double Tap -- Fires twice, at -2/-4 accuracy. 20 Flow. Charge Shot -- Skip a turn, then fire a powerful blast at 1.5* damage and accuracy. 50 Flow. Burst Shot -- Fires three times, at -1/-3/-5 accuracy. 30 Flow. Smart Link -- Activates Smart Link, boosting accuracy for 2 turns. Free Action. 50 Flow. Aimed Shot -- A basic attack with +2 accuracy. 30 Flow. Skullcrush -- A savage attack which can lower enemy armour. 40 Flow. Homerun -- A mighty swing which deals 1.5* damage at -2 accuracy. 50 Flow. Flare -- A fire-based Tier 2 attack. 60 Flow. Rocket Swing -- A mega-powerful swing which deals double damage and 1.5* accuracy. 100 Flow. Explosive Round -- An explosive blast. Expensive, but no downsides. 1.5* damage. 60 Flow. Flamethrower -- A fire-based Tier 1 attack. 40 Flow. Incineration Cannon -- A fire-based Tier 2 attack with an accuracy boost. 70 Flow. Ammunition Dump -- FIRE EVERYTHING. Massive damage and accuracy, but inflicts 1/3rd damage to self. 100 Flow. -- 4 bosses (1 optional), 2 generic and repeating enemies with a shared bad end. Generic Glob -- An amorphous mass of skin-tingling intelligent goop. Lurching Swarm -- A generic blob of tentacles, emerging from a nearby vent. If defeated by either, M10 reboots embedded in a hive. She stuggles, damaging it slightly as it starts to fuck her. She watches as it milks a trapped scientist, which the hive uses to heal itself, cementing the futility of her attempts to break free. Bosses; Break Room -- Gulper -- A slathering maw-tipped tentacle of massive girth which bursts from the ceiling as M10 picks up the keycard, finding it to be oddly sticky. On loss, swallows her head, tentacles wrap around her and drag her up to the hips, starts fucking her, then fully swallows her. Bad end culminates in it spitting out her current weapon, armour, and the keycard. Lab 2 -- Fat, Ugly Monster -- FUM -- Resembling a cross between a slug and a man, it has a thick, rubbery hide and impressive weight. Is found fucking a scientist in a slamming mating press, who has the card M10 needs. On loss, it does the same thing to her, fucking her atop the scientist as it fuses back into the wall, aided by the scientist hugging M10 tightly as it fucks them both. Sled Launcher -- Travesty -- A tall, surprisingly muscular tyrant, with powerful arms and a number of tentacles upon its back. Upon loss, grabs M10, strips her, and fucks her standing up, using her like an onahole whilst its tentacles coil around and fuck her other holes. Bad end culminates with a time skip, showing that it's smart enough to get a well-fucked M10 to fix the Sled, before boarding it with her to ambush the crew awaiting the arrival of the goods... Optional boss for good end in Sled Maintenance -- Fused Scientist. The head scientist for the facility has been fused with a symbiotic tentacle monster, obscuring the top of her head with a single, unblinking eye. If it defeats M10, it fucks her, but then seems to wither and dissolve off of the Scientist... she swiftly realizes it's parasitizing her instead, and loses control of her body. Bad end culminates in an infested Mio fucking a security guard at the recovery site for the Sled, implying a major outbreak. -------- Ghostly pale skin, light pink eyes with a gentle glow to them. Face is framed by a berry-purple helmet, which consists of a sensor-suite singular horn jutting from a sculpted flat 'cap', which gives way to a face-framing curtain 'bob' with pleated grooves mimicking the waves of hair. The horn's a further nod to the Oni-like way Brassy played Mio whenever they were testing things, haha. Her colour scheme from there is pastel berry pinks and purples. More obviously synthetic arms and legs with a shielding pauldron upon the right shoulder, bare left, and bucklers on the elbows - meanwhile, her legs have slender but pronounced armoured 'boots', with curved armour around the thighs. Her torso is more realistic, but has a notable seam running down the center from neck to groin, front and back, and her face has two lines which run through down from her scalp, through her eyes and divide each cheek as they terminate at her jawline. Her build is somewhat petite. She has a deadpan resting face, with subtle markings from frowning, which indicates that - along with having something of an attitude problem - she is a particularly successful Mercanoid, having had enough active duty to be able to create those creases in her synth-skin. ------------ Bearslug - A large slug monster with tentacle 'feet' capable of extending in order to completely envelop a partner, after bodyslamming atop of them. Infiltrate, Incarcerate, Impregnate, Proliferate (I3P) - A weaponzied tentacle monster with a mass of tentacles for a lower body, and a large humanoid torso with four arms, no visible head to speak of. It grows from a tiny 'seed' with a condensed nutritional capsule triggered to release remotely, quickly achieves this size, and then captures up to three compatible subjects before burrowing underground to use them to create a hive, whereupon its offspring will do the same. Likely the cause of the incident. Located on a mock battlefield facility.

<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Garden Flower">><</if>>The Gulper's movements are too unpredictable, its hide too rubbery. With a shower of fuchsia sparks from her shoulder, Mio shows off some of her capacity for emotive expression with clenched teeth and unevenly winced-shut eyes, their dimming glow shifting to the side as she surveys the exit. There's nothing else for it - as the Gulper pulls its outwardly-fanged maw free from a shattered break-room table - showering the Synthetic in shards of plastic - she turns on her heel with a scrape against the metal-tiled floor and breaks into a run that sends her new keycard bouncing wildly against her chest upon its lanyard. She runs for the lights of the corridor beyond the gloom of the breakroom, filling her field of vision wider and wider... before a shadow falls across her window to freedom. "Ghh!!-- Damnit!!" She just barely has enough time to bring her arms up, hands catching onto the flexible ring of the Gulper's strange, alien mouth as it drops around her, each palm nestled between the blunted fangs that perimeter it in an uneven pattern. It's a stalemate as she holds the flexible hose-like ring just at bay, blocking her vision - a view of bright freedom now filtered through the membranous flesh of the voracious monster as it fights against her mechanical power to inch further down her head like a slowly collapsing umbrella. At once, drool as thick as syrup runs down her quaking arms, feet scraping against the floor as the monster pushes down against her with hydraulic force. Clenching her teeth harder than ever with a look of sheer determination etched across her visage, Mio braces her legs as steam vents out from emergency valves to the outer side of each knee and from just beneath the curve of her hips. For a moment, this burst of limiter-surpassing strength sees the Gulper - lowered all the way down past her nose and beginning to close - lifted back up with a gurgling shriek!... but those limiters exist for a reason. Another shower of sparks jettisons from Mio's elbow opposite to the earlier shoulder, and the syrup coating her arms isn't just for show. Combined with the fine-slicked hairs that coat the Gulper's maw... Mio's hands slip outwards as red warning lights flash across her eyes. "NooMMPGH!!--" Mio's legs flail like a poorly-controlled puppet as they swing out of the door and into the corridor before she pendulums back into the breakroom gloom with a sickening squelch as the Gulper lurches a few feet back up to the ceiling, cloaked by the steam shunted from Mio's overworked legs. The red glow of her eyes is still just barely visible through the bruise-purple flesh now vacuum-packed around her head, so tight that it captures the bulge of her horn, the edges of her cap, the stiff shape of her 'hair'... and her startled facial expression, two glowing red splotches slowly turning back to their usual gentle pink glow as the warning subsides. After all, it's only monitoring the stress on her limbs. It isn't equipped for recognizing that a tentacle monster has swallowed her up to her waist. No way to recognize what has her arms pinned tightly to her sides by a ring of organic muscle tight enough to make the exposed metal of her elbows creak, further lubricating her dangling, kicking lower half with that diabolical drool, great flecks of it dripping down to the floor or being kicked in spray patterns up above the doorway beneath her. No way to comprehend the peril as it conforms to Mio's trapped body, the freak as tightly wrapped around the swell of her chest as it is around her face, a fleshy probe shoved past and stretching her lips wide to further silence her as long, tubular bulges like veins across a tensing arm begin to squeeze and travel across and between her trapped breasts. Not equipped to detect any of the chemical substances contained in that colourless syrup running down and being massaged into what portions of her body are cloaked in synth-skin which, alone, would have significant and exciting effects upon the body... even a mostly artificial one like Mio's, albeit numbed. Combined? Her hips squirm, her arms flex against the maw slowly sliding further down them, and her trapped, shadow-painted face distorts as panic is mixed with confusion from the sensations coursing through her vat-grown synthetic brain, coaxing a rumbling, pleased growl from the alien slurping her up to vibrate through the flesh all around her. These suites would be the mark of a far more expensive Synthetic. Mio is disposable. And, evidently, delicious. As if to confirm this, the already vacuum-tight seal around her body tightens yet further still - in reality, a direct response to her continued squirming and struggling, the Synthetic still desperately trying to wriggle free of the avaricious attic-dweller. Tighter, tighter, tighter still... compressing her chest and the internal tentacles groping it, conforming to the stylish contours of her hairstyled helmet... casting her aggravated face into gallery-worthy picture perfection. The Gulper does not know the limits of the organic body - let alone that the body it has captured is not organic - and thus squeezes slowly, a ramping up of pressure that holds in place once it finds the sweet spot that makes Mio's struggles die down to mere twitches. She's stuck inside the thing; she knows first-hand that it can squeeze hard enough to mulch her into scrap unless she cooperates. Her obedience, unfortunately, earns her an unwelcome reward; the ring of the Gulper's maw relaxes for a second... but she doesn't slip back out, despite how well lubricated she is. More tight rings of muscle have been slipped around her ribs and neck, not to mention the phallic mass stuffed deeply into her right cheek, pulsing against her tongue, injecting yet another compound of erotic chemicals directly into her body as the creature's lips smack down upon her thighs and it reels back up another few feet to the hanging forest of gently squirming feminine bulges up above. The only things that separate Mio from being identical in appearance to the other dozen or so captured figures are her kicking, twitching feet, about 4 feet of elevation, and the soft pink glow that almost illuminates her face through the Gulper's slick, water-flora like hide. Somehow, through the crushing pressure that keeps her immobilized, the tendrils around her breasts still manage to squirm and squeeze. She surmises that their movement derives from internal movements through tough skin, like a worm moving through a pipe. They're joined by yet more, probing at the exposed machinery of her pinned arms, curling and hugging around her hips... one even coils around her helmet and condescendingly pats her on the head, before wrapping around her sensor horn in a possessive grip. "Nnngh!..." It's a tiny noise of defiance. One lost above the squelching, groaning noise of the Gulper slowly swallowing her further. One lost among the noise of the hanging garden of Gulpers, themselves mitigating the groans of their drugged, impregnated hosts - membraneous bodies so tightly wrapped around the curves of their figures... head, shoulders, chest, gravid bellies, hips, thighs, and calves, with some variation in the position of the arms - behind their backs, or pinned to their sides. Each and every one of them, bar Mio's - for now - tight enough around the head to etch every last detail of their blissed-out faces to the gloom surrounding them, expressions frozen from the pressure bearing down upon them, like stone masks of the deceased, betrayed only by the occasional orgasmic twitch powerful enough to make their jailor dance among its hanging fellows. Schlllrp. Mio is swallowed up to her knees, legs stuck tightly to one another, consumed right to the apex of her armoured boots. SChllllup. With internal tentacles staking claim to each and every part of her captured body, the maw undulates down her boots, the slime thick and dripping in heavy, heated, steaming splatters down to the ground below, a few of those tentacles coiling out around her feet as they bravely venture beyond the protection of the Gulper's mouth. Schllllllllllk... the reason becomes swiftly apparent; Mio now matches the average height of her fellow captives, head about a foot away from the fleshy, root-like base of the Gulper's clinging body. Then nine inches. Then half a foot, as the tentacles pull her in the last little bit of the way, before... Schlickikik. With her body completely pulled inside, the Gulper's outwards-facing fangs tilt inwards, and the muscled ring of its lips tightens to allow those seemingly randomly-placed fangs to knit and weave together, forming an air-tight, water-tight seal... a seal on Mio's fate, that is. She can squirm, she can struggle, but nothing she can do is going to get her out of the monster's grasp, now. She belongs to it. Now it's time to prove it to her. "Gmmph-??" Mio exclaims, the glowing pink patches created by her eyes now the only thing that differentiates her from any of the other captured figures which flank her... that, and the trim flatness of her stomach by comparison. The noise is coaxed from her by the tentacle that had been sat comfortably in her cheek finally probing deeper, now that the Gulper has totally secured the squirmy Synthetic's body. Free to do as it pleases with her, it does just that; Mio does not gag in the traditional sense, but the displeased grumble she makes, distorted by the fat length pushing down into her throat... well, it's as close as makes no difference. Doubly so when it suddenly pulls out back into her mouth, only to slam back inside all the deeper, a fleshy bulb nuzzling against her taut lips. The base of the tendril plunging into her gullet is equipped with flat, muscular 'arms' akin to those of a deep-sea octopus, wrapping around the lower half of her head like the straps of a secure mask... covering her nose to supply her with oxygen, an entirely wasted but sensible gesture. All it serves to do is to further muffle her grunting cries, which is a shame for fans of grunting cries; the one she lets loose as a tentacle twice as thick as the one in her mouth slams up into her cunt is one for the ages, accompanied by the glow of her eyes piercing brighter through the flesh blindfolding them in a sudden flare. She can hardly be blamed - throughout her slow consumption, the cocktail of chemicals secreted by the Gulper has been wreaking havoc on her body. Mio may be a machine, but even machines these days have taken advantage of the cheap and reliable nature of vat-grown parts. As aforementioned, her brain is one such major example - part mechanical, part biomechanical. Enough to make the merest touch of her captor send shivers through synthetic veins and whirring servos alike, and this is anything but a mere touch. Her sudden struggling makes the Gulper instinctively clamp down around her again, hugging her so tightly that the obscene bulge in her durable belly shines proudly through the taut hide around her trapped belly. The first thrust is to test capacity. Mio has finally achieved an A grade in something... but now to put the test into practice. The bulge slowly but surely recedes... and then Mio's shrink-wrapped form sends the Gulper wobbling violently with her suddenly hip-lunging squirming, the pink lights of her eyes flashing and tinting towards red from brief alarm bells as her belly bulges out again, the monster swinging until it stabilizes itself by tightening up around its prisoner with an organic, leather-like creak. It's a startlingly loud noise which serves to draw attention to the lack of a yell, muffled or otherwise, from Mio. Her throat is too well-plugged for that, now - the tentacle in her throat no longer pulling back out of her throat with each thrust. Pulled this tight, the lights of her panic-flashed eyes are made all the more visible, all the brighter. A light-show for an audience of none - of captive scientists unable to see it, and Gulpers incapable of perceiving it. Yet her eyes flash, blink and strobe all the same as the monster made to pleasure does just that; on its terms, not hers. Slamming up into her synthetic fuckhole again and again, unaware of her inorganic nature and entirely uncaring; to the Gulper, fuckable meat is fuckable meat and a potential mother, a potential mother. The sudden rude arrival of a thick, gelatinous egg at her taut-stretched netherlips threatens to remove the word 'potential' from the equation entirely... and then makes good on that threat. Finally, a careful ear pressed right to the Gulper's pulsing, clenching body might be able to hear the distorted whimpering of the android as the first egg pushes, pushes!... and then deforms into more of an oval under the pressure, slipping inside her and springing back nice and round as it surges up her well-pummelled tunnel and spews free into the nurturing chamber beyond. Mio is barely even able to tremble as the Gulper's all-encompassing 'hug' clenches tightly around her with each softball-sized egg pushed into her body, stomach beginning to round out from eggs and the thick breeding gunk they float in alike. The tentacle around her horn squeezes in what can only be described as an affectionate manner, curling back to pat her flat-capped head again, a fresh, intense dose of the chemicals malfunctioning her mind blasted straight down her throat by the tentacle fucking it; a host's only source of nourishment loaded with pacification. Six. Seven. 'Eight--' Nine. Ten... Thirteen, Sixteen, 'Twen--twenty--' Schlk. Twenty Six eggs, a record - perhaps not galactic, but certainly enough to make this Gulper the pride of the Garden - the collective noun of Cavern-Vines, that is. More than enough to fill the alien monster with pride, joy, and affection for its well-fucked and thoroughly pacified catch... a state judged by the slow but steady way the tell-tale lights of Mio's eyes crawl upwards, eyes rolling as the Gulper, now internally filled up to Mio's neck with a mixture of fluids created by or spilt out of her, sends that tide surging up above her head by tightening one last time. The swell of her well-stuffed, plugged belly. The undulating massage of her chest. And the perfect, bliss-stricken expression on her doll-like face, now frozen like all her fellow inmates... it's a perfect silhouette of a pregnant female form, minus the mechanical indentations of her limbs - nothing to be done about that - and the bulk of her weapon, and that pilfered keycard. Those, the Gulper can deal with. PT-CHO!... -Splat-. Mio's gear clatters to the ground, noise muffled by the grotesque gel-like slime coating it... before the sodden lanyard lands atop it, left to lie just in front of the door, one final taunt to Mio of how close she was to freedom. "Mmmmrph...~" she whimpers, the once-pink lights flashing a soft, baby blue as her mind completely fragments. A taunt unseen, and now, impossible to even comprehend - the prettiest flower in the Garden. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>>

On Encounter start; Record current passage (room) via the use of <<set $interrupted_page = passage()>> before moving the player! Combat Mode Activate -- a passage that sets a bunch of combat-related variables up, and disables use of the compass arrows. Potential idea; A gently flashing 'WARNING' Gif to lay over the map? finally, move to the Intro passage of the enemy in question - be it a set encounter, or a randomized one. This will introduce the arrival of the enemy, and set the $enemy stats to the appropriate values. We then include a continue link at the end that brings us to... --- Player Turn. Player turn resets any generic Bonus integers - one-turn accuracy boosts/penalties, etc for special attacks - and then displays; the player's combat options any status effects they're suffering from any status effects the enemy is suffering from and a randomized mini blurb of the enemy's presence, usually 3 entries. Player moves are; Attack - generic attack using the equipped weapon. Special Attack - moves to the special attack menu, populated by Includes of different special attack boolean checks - first class, then weapon, then learned/gained/perk. Further flow handled by these attacks. Defend, skips turn to boost defence by 5. adjust, then Enemy Turn. Examine, get extra info on the enemy. Does not end turn. Link to player examine. Surrender - throws a confirmation dialog. If yes, player automatically loses fight with no health or focus loss, unless the loss scene changes that. Link to Enemy Turn after setting surrender to yes. Spare - If Enemy Morale is at 0, can spare them to end fight. Otherwise, wastes turn. Flee - player attempts to run from the fight. Link to Flee passage. An attack, or any action that advances the turn, needs to run; Player Modifiers Hit (on a hit), then Enemy Status Effects Start Turn, which checks for enemy status effects that might interrupt a turn before advancing or skipping it. A player attack consists of the following; -- Subtract Flow and/or Glow and/or whatever as required. -- Set the round-temporary special ability bonuses and penalties. -- I think we can skip the damage range calculations on this one, cuz I should be able to set the dice rolls as a variable. UPDATE; nope lmao -- Likewise, the Main or Sub check. Subweapon special attacks are unique anyway. -- Set player attack modifier and damage type, and their attack type (Forceful, Agile, Tricky), based on Weapon. -- Run a base attack calculation; set _dice to 1d20, apply result to player accuracy, modify accuracy and dice (for crits) as needed. Then determine the base damage, utilizing all appropriate modifiers. This includes the Enemy Armour calculation, and a check of the player's element versus the enemy's resistances. Finally, determine the enemy's dodge, set player Damage to 1 if it's below 1, and finally set player success; 0 on a dice 1, 2 on a dice 20, 1 on accuracy > enemy dodge, and 0 again on accuracy < enemy dodge. This is all in one nest of Includes. -- Print the windup of the attack/special attack. -- If statement for Miss, Hit, and Crit, with the message changing for each, of course. For Hit and Crit, run Player Modifiers Hit. For Miss, run Player Modifiers Always (Hit will include Always at the end for some micro optimization, and this whole bit is a copy-paste template anyway.) -- Player Status Effects End Turn. (poison, burn, etc) -- Enemy Status Effects Begin Turn. (paralyze, frozen, etc) --/ Technically, I could toss Enemy Status Effects Begin Turn onto the end of Player Modifiers Always, for some more micro-optimization. Status Effects roll to overcome, and are then reduced by 1. Failure for some result in skipping straight to Enemy Status Effects End Turn (or vice versa to player), whereas success/others move to Enemy Turn. Enemy Turn performs some cleanup actions, like Cooldown tracking, and then checks to see which enemy is being fought (by their name), before calling an Include for that enemy's Loss Check. The Loss Check checks if the player has won. If not, it checks if the player has lost. If not, it calls that Enemy's Attack script. Enemy Attacks are highly customizable. They might be random, they might go in a pattern, they might go in a pattern WITH randomization thrown in, or even have phase changes. The process outlined above for Player attacks runs in vice versa for Enemy attacks, which culminates in Player Status Effects Begin Turn... and the loop is complete, as this either skips player turn or moves us right along to Enemy Turn again. Don't worry - we've set a simple variable which tells us which side's turn it is, and this is checked at the end of every Loss Check; if (Enemy.alive = "True") { if (player.turn = 0) { Slime Blob Attacks } else if (player.turn = 1) { Player Status Effects Start Turn } } Thus, the loop completes!

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>@@.WarningIntro;WARNING! ENEMY APPROACHING!@@</div> Mio's sensors blaze in half a dozen different ways at once! An ominous gurgling, the rapid approach of displaced heat and organic life signs... and a distinct rumbling from below. The evasive action comes swiftly - a quick blast from the soles of her armoured feet sends her into a quick backstep, sparks flying from the tiles upon which the metal scrapes. A split second later and she might have found herself glued to the ceiling; the floor tile before her erupts in a geyser of translucent purple muck, filtering the flickering facility lights beyond it through a veil of violet as the shapeless mass slaps wetly to the ground like an impassable barricade, wall-to-wall. Having well-secured her attention, the small grooved sphere within the dark recesses of the living slime begins to swirl, the rippling sludge pulling inwards to form a loose 'pile' before Mio's eyes, rudimentary tentacles forming in every direction upon its body.

The Serenity Veil falters in something approaching surprise, then begins to shimmer... <<if $Player_temp gte 10>> $Player_alias glances over her shoulder, eyes widening as the Veil suddenly plunges into the solid ground as readily as though it were water. Acting more on instinct than her sensors, she turns her sprint into a leap right as the spectral monster's claws swipe up from the ground, harmlessly passing between her legs! She hits the ground running and, with another glance, watches as the disgruntled aggressor pulls itself up and out of the ground.

Mio turns in a crouch and springs forwards on her new heading, arms swinging as the Drikk startle and rush after her! <<if $Player_temp gte 6>> $Player_alias dashes with speed, not haste. She's careful to avoid obstacles in her path, all whilst keeping her aural sensors trained on the skittering that echoes around and behind her as the Drikk scale the walls to keep up. The very moment four sets of legs become three, she pitches to the side without compromising her momentum: a leaping Drikk sails harmlessly past her and -splats- against the opposite wall! Two-- Mio pushes up into a jump, soaring over another one, only to tuck and roll in a frontflip as she correctly guesses that the other two will try to take advantage of her in the air.

It's during one such step that one of the Drikk leaps from the wall, clamping around Mio's arm: she gasps and turns, her momentum cut as she swings to send the Drikk flying off of her before it can latch on, immediately ducking to dodge another one!

Escape failed! <<set $Player_escape_bonus to $Player_escape_bonus + 1>> <<include "Combat Player Status Effects End Turn">> <</if>> <<elseif $Enemy_alias is "Mimic">> $Player_alias growls in frustration at her situation. This immobile menance should be easy to run away from, but the reach of its tentacles will make that difficult.

Once she's out of sight, Mio simply presses her back to the doorway and waits, aural sensors tuned to the grumbling gurgles of the ambush-type monster. Once they stop, she peeks back inside... it's as if it was never there at all. It might be gone, or it may have simply moved shells... or retreated back into the same one. Tricky...

[img[$Smart_Bandage_Icon]]<> Smart Bandage | $C_Smart_Bandage in possession Type: Healing. || Usage: Universal (In/Out of combat) A single-use, slate-toned flexible strip with a peelable backing on one side and a small, disposable CPU glowing a striking magenta upon the other side. The Smart Bandage is a universal first-aid solution, used universally! Simply remove the protective backing and apply it to the damaged area, and the onboard nanomachines will identify the surface and get to work. Flesh, cybernetics, it does it all - mimicking materials both organic and inorganic to seal wounds and repair damage like new! By using a Smart Bandage, you agree to the terms of conditions as laid out by the Sera-Sera Corporation and absolve them of responsibility in the 1/100000000 likelihood of a 'Grey Goo' scenario. <<set $Player_Heal to ($Player_hp_max * 0.2)>> <<if $Player_wits_total > 5>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_hp_max * 0.04>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_htemp * 5>> <<set $Player_Heal to $Player_Heal + $Player_htemp>> <</if>> <<if $Player_wits_total <= 5>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_hp_max * 0.04>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_htemp * $Player_wits_total>> <<set $Player_Heal to $Player_Heal + $Player_htemp>> <</if>> <<if $Player_wits_total <= 0>> <<set $Player_Heal to ($Player_hp_max * 0.2)>> <</if>> <<set $Player_Heal to Math.round($Player_Heal)>> Restores $Player_Heal HP.

Mio, too, freezes in place, expression hard as she watches the hairline fracture creep from pole to pole of that trembling sphere... and then the whole thing shatters into two pieces. With a surprisingly sad noise, the Glob begins to melt, disintegrating into a sickly-sweet purple vapour, so thick as to be an opaque smog. Giving only a dismissive noise in response, Mio shatters one of the halves of the monster's core beneath her metal heel as she marches onwards. Victory! <<else>> -Skluerch!- Mio grimaces at the repulsive sound of her final blow sending the Glob's swirling, marble-patterned core flung out of its body, taking a blob of purple gloop with it. It splats against the wall with enough force to shatter into multiple pieces, causing the monster's gelatinous body to halt with a wobble. Emitting a sound akin to a punctured balloon, the Glob begins to deflate into a puddle, the edges of which burn away into a heady, sweet-smelling smog which briefly fills the surrounding area like an out-of-date smoke grenade. With a wrinkle of her nose, Mio places a hand over the lower half of her face and moves on, staying guarded like that until she's clear of that somewhat mind-fogging air pollution. Victory! <</if>> <<elseif $Enemy_surrender is 1>> Against all liklihood, it seems the Glob has somehow been deterred from its single-minded mission to capture Mio. Wobbling in confusion for a moment, it just... slorps off, heaving its gooey body back down into a vent, possibly to rethink its life. Whatever. Just do it away from Mio, as far as she's concerned.

[img[$Smartpick_Icon]] Smartpick | $C_Smartpick in possession Type: Lockpicking aid. || Usage: Contextual (During lockpicking) A Smartpick is a disposable device capable of solving any lock, so long as it's within a sensible degree of the user's skill to be fiddling with. Upon completing its task, Smartpicks disintegrate. The unknown organization who makes them claims that this makes them untraceable, but in reality, it's purely so they can sell more of them. Despite this, they're considering indispensible tools for thieves, rogues and adventurers of all callings. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 130%;'> <> <<if $lockpicking is 1 and $Player_combat is 0>> <<link "Autopick">> <<set $lockpicking to 0>> <<set $tumbler1up to 1>> <<set $tumbler2up to 1>> <<set $tumbler3up to 1>> <<set $tumbler4up to 1>> <<set $tumbler5up to 1>> <<set $tumbler6up to 1>> <<set $lockpick_progress to $lockpick_target>> <<set $lockpick_success_ticker to "Autopick used!

A civilian weapon with some decidedly un-civilian modifications. Ranged Tazers are a popular weapon choice for those who spend ample time on starships, from Captains to Serial Vacationers. While ancient Terran takes on this type of device relied on direct contact - either via physical application of the weapon, or via fired prongs connected by cables - this version is more typical of the modern day. A tiny sticky-tipped speck of a dart is fired and, upon making contact with the target, it acts as a conductor to draw in a powerful electric charge. This is non-lethal, of course... when it hasn't been overcharged to the point of vibrating in one's hand when held. <<link "Crackle-House">><<set $Codex_Return to "Overcharged Tazer">><<set $Codex_Loop to "yes">><<dialog>><<include "Codex Crackle House">><</dialog>><</link>> can be thanked for the modifications made to this basic design, turning it into a weapon of questionable safety... to targets and to users. It is a Tricky weapon due to the care that must be taken using it - hitting someone is the easy part, not getting shocked in the process is the trick. While the popular image of the self-made Captain surviving pitched, gunslinging battles by the skin of their teeth as they make their way across the frontier worlds remains engraved on the public consciousness, the truth is that many of them prefer Tazers. Less likely to blow a massive hole in your spaceship. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Overcharged Tazer Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Overcharged_Tazer_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 15>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Advanced Weapon">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Overcharged Tazer">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Overcharged Tazer">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Overcharged_Tazer_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Overcharged_Tazer_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Overcharged_Tazer_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Overcharged_Tazer_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Overcharged Tazer">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Overcharged_Tazer_Position>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Overcharged_Tazer_Position to 0>> <<set $Overcharged_Tazer_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Subweapon_Remove>>.

Free. Stab - Perform a Piercing attack. Free. A short-bladed knife with a somewhat oversized hilt. The blade gleams brightly, at odds with its dull edge. When activated via a firm grip upon the hilt, the blade begins to vibrate at intense speeds, allowing it to cut through most things like melted butter - but, given its short length, it can't inflict major wounds.

It is an Agile weapon due to its small size and recommended attack patterns. Freqblades are a common sight across the galaxy, and just more proof - were it needed - that no weapon is ever rendered obsolete... merely in need of an occasional upgrade. Freqblades are particularly popular against Kinetic Shielding, for while it can stop a high-speed bullet, it cannot stop a comparatively sluggishly-swiped melee strike. Whereas a normal blade would be stopped by backup armour, however, a Freqblade can sing through cleanly. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Freqblade Knife Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Freqblade_Knife_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 15>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Advanced Weapon">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Freqblade Knife">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Freqblade Knife">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Freqblade_Knife_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Freqblade_Knife_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Freqblade_Knife_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Freqblade_Knife_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Freqblade Knife">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Freqblade_Knife_Position>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Freqblade_Knife_Position to 0>> <<set $Freqblade_Knife_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Subweapon_Remove>>.

A small device affixed to a shoulder strap, worn at the hip. When active, it will set about printing the inner workings, chemical composition and casing for a standardized Riot Grenade. It has capacity for three such grenades, and if one is removed, it will print another. If more are printed than needed, they can be safely broken back down at a slight loss of resources. Mio is barely affected by the gas, but it seems tentacle monsters are none-too-fond of it. It is a Tricky weapon: the act of tossing a grenade isn't so difficult, but the printer can require quick thinking to fix if something goes wrong. It is often said that it is better to have something and not need it, than to need something and not have it. When the thing in question is a grenade with a limited shelf-life that can be difficult or downright hazardous to dispose of though, then perhaps it is better to have the thing that makes it and not need it. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Riot Grenade Printer Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Riot_Grenade_Printer_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 20>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Advanced Weapon">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Riot Grenade Printer">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Riot Grenade Printer">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Riot_Grenade_Printer_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Riot_Grenade_Printer_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Riot_Grenade_Printer_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Riot_Grenade_Printer_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Riot Grenade Printer">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Riot_Grenade_Printer_Position>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Riot_Grenade_Printer_Position to 0>> <<set $Riot_Grenade_Printer_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Subweapon_Remove>>.

[img[$Impact_Vest_Icon]]<<if $("#drop_replace").length>><<else>><<set $Drop_Block to 1>><</if>><> MERCANOID Standard Issue Impact-Vest Defense: + 1 || Dodge: + 0 || Shield: + 0 Sex Appeal: + 1 || Intimidation: + 1 Specs: + Blunt def, + Acid def Created by the same company who made Mio and her fellow MERCANOIDS, the Impact Vest is a one-size-fits-all basic armour solution which fits snug around the torso of a synthetic unit akin to a leotard. While most easily fitted before modular limbs are attached, it can be removed with some... 'creative' wiggling. It hardens in response to blunt force impact, and as a side effect of the material used it is also resistant to acid. This particular model is a slate grey-black, and is comprised of a shock-absorbing, compressable material somewhat akin to rubber, but far more pliable. It bears no patterns or marks save for Mio's serial number and barcode at the turtleneck seal beneath her jawline, tightened with two hanging tassles flanking her neck. It is sleeveless, and conforms to Mio's torso tightly so as not to inhibit her movement. As a result, it accentuates her body's bustline. When not worn, it reverts to a default, highly compact shape - no more than a slightly mishapen triangle of flobbery material. In this case, the old line 'your clothes would look better on my floor' is objectively untrue. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "MERCANOID Standard Issue Impact-Vest Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $A_Impact_Vest_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 20>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Armour">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Impact Vest">> <<set $Armour_Remove to "Impact Vest">> <<set $Armour_Remove_Position to $Impact_Vest_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Impact_Vest_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Armour">> <<set $Impact_Vest_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $A_Impact_Vest_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Armour_Remove to "Impact Vest">> <<set $Armour_Remove_Position to $Impact_Vest_Position>> <<include "Remove Armour">> <<set $Impact_Vest_Position to 0>> <<set $Impact_Vest_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Armour_Remove>>.

Whether they accomplish this is debatable: they definitely provide more protection, but this particular set feels like it was sized for someone much slimmer that Mio. It comes in a charcoal black-gray and has a mostly matte finish with just a touch of gloss: though that might be down to a fine coating of slime that's proving impossible to remove. The straps are a much lighter gray in colour, with black buckles. More or less identical to a template for armour design seen across the Galaxy, this brand is so generic that it isn't even labelled in any way. It may be a TentaCo in-house job. Given that the facility is a remote outpost with no other companies within vicinity, perhaps the need for branding was simply forgone. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Security Armour Overlay Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $A_Security_Armour_Overlay_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 25>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Armour">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Security Armour Overlay">> <<set $Armour_Remove to "Security Armour Overlay">> <<set $Armour_Remove_Position to $Security_Armour_Overlay_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Security_Armour_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Armour">> <<set $Security_Armour_Overlay_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $A_Security_Armour_Overlay_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Armour_Remove to "Security Armour Overlay">> <<set $Armour_Remove_Position to $Security_Armour_Overlay_Position>> <<include "Remove Armour">> <<set $Security_Armour_Overlay_Position to 0>> <<set $Security_Armour_Overlay_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Armour_Remove>>.

It stands for Target Acquisition Laser Emitter.

Whilst not mass-produced as such, and thus made from whatever materials are to hand (usually as the result of extensive repair jobs), they follow a strict blueprint followed by rigidly programmed mechanical manufactories. Designed in tandem with the Impact-Vest, it doesn't provide much upper or lower torso coverage; just a dull plum-purple tanktop which stops short of the midriff, and daring shorts of matching tone that stop before the connection ports of the MERCANOID's legs, worn beneath an Impact-Vest. Loose, adjustable padded sleeves and leggings in gunmetal black grace the arms and legs, parting along the shoulder, elbow and knee joints and strapped tight elsewhere via the provided buckles. A bandolier of pouches wraps around the torso diagonally opposite from the shoulder with the weapon-mount.

[img[$Level_1_Keycard_Icon]] Level 1 Keycard This is a 'Level 1' Keycard, providing access through the northern checkpoint - Checkpoint A - to the facility labs and monster habitats. Rather than a reusable blank, it also functions as an identity card. This one belongs - or belonged - to a 'Tim Klein', pictured looking rather nervous in their mugshot. Scaled skin of a light sandy tone, with darkened speckles across the cheeks and forehead in an uneven 'stripe' pattern towards the eyes and mouth, with a black nose. A sideshave haircut, black, dotted sclera behind golden eyes... quite fearsome, were it not for Tim's uneasy, lopsided smile. Putting the mystery of gender to one side, this card won't provide access through Checkpoint B, but it might open up the way to finding one that can. <><div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 130%;'> <<link "Move Left">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Level_1_Keycard_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Left">> <<set $Level_1_Keycard_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>> || <<link "Move Right">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Level_1_Keycard_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Right">> <<set $Level_1_Keycard_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>></div><>

It was given to Mio by Selene, but does not belong to her: she borrowed it from someone who ran into tentacular trouble of their own.

Hopefully it will still work in the card reader! <><div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 130%;'><<link "Move Left">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Level_2_Keycard_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Left">> <<set $Level_2_Keycard_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>> || <<link "Move Right">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Level_2_Keycard_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Right">> <<set $Level_2_Keycard_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>></div><>

[img[$Territorial_Acid_Icon]] Territorial Acid This substance has been developed from the combatitive secretions certain tentacle monsters generate to use not against potential victims, but against one another - typically in territory disputes, or during times of famine or unexpected environmental shift. As a result, it seems harmless to most substances, but exceedingly dangerous to tentacle biomass. It'll soon neutralize when exposed to the air, and it's not exactly packaged in a container suitable for offensive use, but it could still be useful. <><div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 130%;'><<link "Move Left">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Territorial_Acid_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Left">> <<set $Territorial_Acid_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>> || <<link "Move Right">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Territorial_Acid_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Right">> <<set $Territorial_Acid_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>></div><>

Free. A shield, designed to be mounted on mechanical hardpoints of exosuit-armour or mechanical limbs. It doesn't offer much in the way of offence, but provides a simple boost to one's defences. It's perfectly compatible with Mio for two reasons; for one, it is very simple. Even without her hardpoint mount, she could probably just strap it in place. And for another point... it was made for her model. It is a Forceful weapon: it's moderately heavy, and requires strength to proper defend oneself with it. Little more than a shaped slab of metal and some sturdy straps... but unmistakably familiar. While not an authentic piece, Mio was able to make a convincing replica from her memory banks, just like one she used to have back when the MERCANOID Company was starting out. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Cybuckler Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Cybuckler_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 20>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Simple Weapon">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Cybuckler">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Cybuckler">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Cybuckler_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Cybuckler_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Cybuckler_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Cybuckler_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Cybuckler">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Cybuckler_Position>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Cybuckler_Position to 0>> <<set $Cybuckler_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Subweapon_Remove>>.

A short-barrelled but heavy rifle, fed by a chunky drum that contains a solid slab of metal. A flip-up set of ironsights and the wide barrel make it clear that this weapon is less about precision, and more about obliterating everything in front of the wielder. An on-board manufacturer takes slivers of the metal feed, shapes them into bladed flechettes, and then expels them with ballistic force. Shredder Rifles are commonly used in sealed-atmosphere environments, for their bladed bullets are unlikely to cause hull breaches. The innate cruelty of the weapon, however, delegates it primarily to use against unintelligent alien fauna and pests... like this outbreak. It is a Forceful weapon due to its weight and unusual profile requiring a less-than-ideal grip. <<link "Unitek">><<set $Codex_Return to "Shredder Rifle">><<set $Codex_Loop to "yes">><<dialog>><<include "Codex Unitek">><</dialog>><</link>> are the primary suppliers for this weapon design, most often found in facilities just like this, or on fledgling, far-flung colonies after being brought down from sleeper ships to function as crude hunting weapons.

While some guns merely look ancient in an effort to appeal to the retro-minded, this is an exception. It's easy to date this short-barreled, pump-operated shotgun all the way back to the Reclaimation Era of pre-space Terra. No doubt, it has served faithfully over the decades - upgraded with a Glow-based power core and simple ammo feed block, it won't need reloading for many firings to come. Despite these modernizing tweaks, however, it is remarkably light. A number of scratches just above the weathered grip indicate tallies... 7 in total. It is an Agile weapon, for it is lightweight, relatively small in form factor, and features significantly dampened recoil. This is the kind of weapon one likes to keep handy for close encounters. Thanks to the feed block ammunition system, the only thing giving pause to barrages of blasts is the heat build-up... and one's capacity to pump reliably. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 110%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Bug Hunter Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $W_Bug_Hunter_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 20>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Simple Weapon">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Bug Hunter">> <<set $Weapon_Remove to "Bug Hunter">> <<set $Weapon_Remove_Position to $Bug_Hunter_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Bug_Hunter_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Weapon">> <<set $Bug_Hunter_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Workshop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $W_Bug_Hunter_Equipped is 0>> <<link "Modify">> <<dialog>> <<include "Bug Hunter Modding">> <</dialog>> <</link>> <<else>> <<if $Workshop is 0>> <s>Modify</s> - Can't modify here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Modify</s> - This is no time for battlefield botch-jobs! <<else>> <s>Modify</s> - Unequip this before modifying it!

It is primarily loaded with a substance derived from Territorial Acid - a substance created by tentacle monsters, for tentacle monsters.

An elegant bow that blends ancient design with modern technology. It's been well cared for, but bears signs of minor tarnishing due to its age. It comes complete with a quiver that prints arrows to the user's specifications, already loaded with a number of designs of Selene's customized making. The glow core powers a system that links to each arrow and adjusts their flight mid-shot. And, finally, each arrowhead is tipped with a tiny vial of toxins. It is an Agile weapon, best suited for the highly mobile, any tricky elements figured out in advance to be used as swift as instinct allows in actual battle.

That is, until you show them the flight-correcting guided arrows, the 3D-printing quiver that generates them almost as fast as they can be fired, and the touch-intelligent slack adjustment on the bowstring to diminish strain in the arms. Either that, or shoot them with it. They'll get the point to Nightgrove's design philosophy; the classics never die, they get upgraded. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 110%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Truthseeker Smartbow Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Workshop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $W_Truthseeker_Smartbow_Equipped is 0>> <<link "Modify">> <<dialog>> <<include "Truthseeker Smartbow Modding">> <</dialog>> <</link>> <<else>> <<if $Workshop is 0>> <s>Modify</s> - Can't modify here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Modify</s> - This is no time for battlefield botch-jobs! <<else>> <s>Modify</s> - Unequip this before modifying it!

Even the most feeble of rocks will have its diehard defenders, and so now the modern policy is the creation of Junk Planets - artificially created planetoids made of pure refuse. Some maintain recycling facilities, great metal monoliths rising out of the debris to pull useful resources from discarded objects, giving rise to a few major 'types'; Garden Waste Junk Planets, Metal Junk Planets, Plastic Junk Planets and so on.

Female in appearance, they are bipedal, with bodies cloaked in thick scales and external bone growths upon the head, shoulders, elbows, wrists and lower legs, which end in large feet with four obsidian claws - one rear facing off from the heel. Their hands are somewhat oversized for their bodies, tipped with equally brutal claws, accentuated by the bone growth from the wrist - some Rakumo will shave this down, while others will cultivate and carve it into additional natural weaponry, either blunting them into knuckle coverings or sharpening them into stunted claws. They have large tails which will grow back if cut off, which may or may not bear bone spikes (thagomizers). Their scales come in a variety of tones on the blue-red spectrum, though other colours have been observed through gene modding and mutation. Despite not bearing milk, they possess 'breasts' which, alongside the base of the tail, function as a storage for additional fat - an overeating Rakumo only shows it in her chest and rear. They have large heads as disproportional to their bodies, with big, expressive eyes that burn in sunset tones against black sclera flecked with gold. Sharp, carnivorous teeth lurk in two rows within their maws, safeguarding long, forked tongues. Their noses are somewhat receded, and they have slender, sharpened swept-back ears. In place of hair, Rakumo have growths of bone that grow constantly throughout their lives, which can be sculpted into the desired shape - for aesthetic, function, or both. A Rakumo at the hairdressers needs a belt sander, not scissors. The average Rakumo stands at just shy of 8 feet in height, and they have well-built hips suited for mobility on their mountainous homeworld. Rakumo often find employment befitting their strength and size, and are thus increasingly common in the Galaxy as labourers of varying skill levels, and as military, militia or mercenary hires. Despite the stereotypical employment, Rakumo who pursue more academic fields are a growing minority. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Rakumo Origin">> Rakumo are survivors of an inhospitable volcanic world, and it is not unfair to say that they are a race forced to grow too soon. An age of prehistoric savagery, akin to Terra, gave way to what can be considered equivalent to the Classical age. Where things drastically differ, however, is that all of Rakumo's warring nations were brought under a single banner, flown in the name of a conqueror of the entire world. The species Rakumo were not always called thus. It is a name they adopted in honour of this singular figure, a scientist and warlord who united the warring clans under one banner for one very simple reason: she had realized that their planet was doomed, and nobody would listen to her. Rakumo the Conquerer united the wretched world under her banner because she had discovered a cruel truth; the planet (now also named Rakumo) was doomed to tear itself apart. And so, she rode to spread the word, then to convince others of its truth, and then to force them to accept it; all so that the collective knowledge, resources and efforts of her people might find a solution to their untimely end. So profound was the effect Rakumo had upon her race that, after her death, they took her name to honour her forever more. She died before the first Rakumo ship successfully broke orbit, but now she is carried with every surviving daughter of the Dead Star. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Rakumo Names">> Rakumo are almost all named in the same manner; three syllables, two letters in length each. Jafina, Kalitu, Pareno, and so on. It is exceedingly rare for even half-breeds not to bare one such name as part of their identity, even if shared with the culture of another alien race. Rakumo typically have no surnames, for direct relations pale before the simple fact that they are of the Rakumo, and are of one family. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Rakumo Technology">> Rakumo technology is harsh in design and in make, and many consider it a miracle that they made it off of the Dead Star at all. It was not an easy life in space, but it was not an easy life upon their homeworld to begin with. As a race, they thrived the moment they successfully established a colony upon a more moderate planet. The species retains a relatively small but determined scientific caste who are held in high regard: intelligence of this level is not seen as weakness, but strength, especially as it denies the Rakumo their innate battle lust. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

Breaching Jackets improve the pilot's survival rate dramatically by providing composite layers of heat-resistant materials.

<> <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "FUM Breeder">><</if>> <<if $Grapple_Loss is "Mental">> The FUM merely watches from where it is, relishing in the show as Mio eagerly strips, her gear and clothing falling in a pile around her feet before she drops into an unceremonious kneeling pose upon the tip-joint of her armoured boots, throwing a hand into the air to offer a v-shaped peace sign. She's left in nothing but her simplistic underwear, clingy and sports-style, leaving nothing to the imagination. "Come on! I lose! You win!" Mio gasps, eyes swirling with a tinge of darker purple to their usual lavender glow. The FUM finally strides forwards, beckoning Mio up to her feet as he draws near: Mio complies with a giggle, finding herself wrapped in close with a massive arm at her side, clamping her to the FUM's hip with a hand upon her own as he leads her towards the flesh-walls... "Ah?... Here?" Mio asks with a tilt of her head as the FUM herds her towards the writhing walls, in the massive divot its bulk originally occupied, the well-fucked Elven beauty in the basin of it gazing up at Mio with a curious look in her otherwise hazy emerald eyes. In answer, the FUM simply slides its hand up from her hip - giving her chest a harsh grope on the way to elicit a gasp - and plants it upon Mio's head, forcing her forward into a stumble! She trips and lands upon the Elf girl, causing them both to gasp as they squash chest-to-chest!... and causing Mio to blink and frown, that minor jolt giving her biomechanical brain a moment to reboot. "... Wait, why am I naked?!--" <<else>> As freakish as it is fearsome, the Fum's ever-present leer grows somehow wider still as it herds Mio around the purple-hazed room, beginning to outright laugh as her metal-plated feet trip and stumble around pulsating tentacles lying across the floor like exposed, infected tree roots. Blows seem to uselessly bounce right off of its thick hide, and to make matters worse, the walls of the infested lab are moving around her, cutting off her avenues of escape and filling her senses of sight and sound with writhing, well-fucked bodies and the pleasure-wracked noises they make. Before she knows it, she's back where the fight began, just with the positions reversed. With her back to the divot in the flesh wall once taken up by the Fum, the brute flicks the final domino in its grand scheme, raising its thick, three-fingered fists into the air!... and bringing them down in front of Mio, crushing hive-flesh and sending a wave of the wretched stuff flying at her! Mio turns, Mio dives, and Mio dodges the sticky, ruined mulch as it flies overhead and splatters against the flesh wall, swiftly absorbed back into the blossoming hive. Too late does she realize that this was precisely the result the Fum was hoping for, as she lands chest-to-chest against its well-curved victim! <</if>><> Mio scarcely has time to take in the features of the gorgeous scientist she's gracelessly sprawled atop of; A Terran, and an Elf at that. Ethereally pale. Lengthy, pointed ears, the right decorated with a strangely hi-tech looking black clasp along the top edge and 3 gold studs towards the base that almost match her long flowing hair, somehow beautiful even when dishevelled and caked in sexual slime. A simple pink hair tie just barely hangs on to a few locks by her side, implying she normally keeps it tied back. A well-kept face that Mio can tell, even through the well-ruined layers of smudged crimson lipstick upon absurdly plush lips and smeared mascara around half-lidded emerald eyes, wears a constant and warming smile... for such a smile now gazes up at her despite her panic. "You're doing great, babe!~" the Elf suddenly speaks, jarring Mio's sluggish sensors back into reality as the brute looms behind her. This woman and her colleagues aren't her priority, but... she can help them, damn it! And this encouragement is just what she needed. A shaky smile graces the MERCANOID's face as she nods and begins to pull herself up - limbs placed with care so as not to injure the nude scientist beneath her... before hands wrap around her shoulders, having slipped in from below! "Here! A kiss, for good luck!~" "Hunmpph--??" Mio exclaims, cut off before her surprised noise can become a surprised word. She continues to push up with her arms, attempting to break free of the inopportunely-timed hug... and then her eyes flicker brightly from her vat-grown synth-brain firing signals in all directions at once, pupils distorting into a wild variety of shapes as the elf's tongue dances with her own, lips smeared with the woman's makeup, fae spit mixing with her chemical equivalent. Mio's arms quake and tremble uselessly, barely keeping her elevated just off the ground as the Fum lets rip with a distorted mimicry of a cruel cackle from behind her, its thick spittle raining down upon her back and making her synthskin tingle wherever it falls. Aphrodisiac, of terrifying potency... lingering thickly upon the elf's tongue, and now spiking the biomechanical parts of Mio's system. Just like that, the knight is felled by her damsel in distress, for whom thoughts of imminent potential rescue have fallen in priority next to making out with her brave little failure of a saviour. Mio's eyes continue their slot machine-like rampancy as her arms jerk out in opposing directions and, once again, her chest compresses tightly against the far more endowed woman beneath her. With her sensitivity skyrocketing, she can feel the diamond-like peaks of each pillow-soft mound digging into the sides of her comparatively perky pair like jabbing fingers. Utterly immobilized, Mio winces when the Fum leans down with casual, mockingly slow speed to grab first her left arm, and then her right, pulling back to hoist her off of the Elven scientist... but only from the waist up. Their kiss broken, the Elf grumbles out into a pout as links of slowly breaking saliva link organic lips to synthetic ones. The sex-addled researcher's smile falters slightly at the sight of her hero, and - despite the haze of drugs and sex in her system - she puts two and two together. "... Oh... I probably shouldn't have done that, right?" Mio manages to deadpan down at the researcher before it's twisted back into a slightly crosseyed wince - the Fum's hands around her mechanical limbs should barely register as anything but a 'true' or 'false' in answer to 'am I being touched', and yet each slimy fingered grip and twist is making her eyes flicker again as her brain is overwhelmed with info spikes. The only explanation - a theory reinforced by the presence of an Elf on the team - is magic! Mio tries to twist free, but the Fum's lower set of arms - smaller, comparatively frail and until now tucked behind the brute's flabby body - unfurl to rip chunks of the hive-flesh around the three off, ball them up, and clap them around her arms; palms to elbows, an almost perfect rectangular bridge behind her back. The pulsating muck hardens almost instantly, disarming her completely... and, to the Fum's mind, earning him a reward. With one hand on her arms to keep her held just barely aloft, the Fum displays surprisingly spineless flexibility to lean in and around the cramped space the women find themselves in, causing Mio to shudder through her malfunctions as the already claustrophobic view is eclipsed by slime-sheening grey-purple hide, two burning moon-yellow eyes, and that awful, leering grin... parting wider, then opening up. For a moment of panic, Mio fears that it might swallow her whole. But it's much, much worse than that. Bloated lips as thick as her wrist ball joints latch upon the lower half of her face in a perverse and inaccurate impression of a kiss, slathering it in that sinfully potent spit. If Mio's eyes were flickering before, now they're outright strobing - casting frantic rave-like lights and harsh, dark shadows within the meat alcove around them, all while the Elf looks up with a strange mixture of empathy and lust. The smearing of her lipstick immediately makes sense when the Fum's tongue - flat and thick as a bottom-dwelling fish - budges against Mio's sealed lips, pushes, and then forces its way into her mouth, earning a choked and despairing noise from the synthetic. With her head twisted back at an angle, the Fum gurgles out a chuckle straight into their 'kiss', barely muffled by it as his mind-mangling drool freely pours down the synthetic's trembling throat, her tongue crushed beneath his far larger muscle, pinned down without hope of rescue. Mio "Fwuuuah--grgghll--" Mio spasms, held with her chest just barely aloft from the Elf's by a fat-fingered grip upon her head, face shining with that diabolical drug-drool, eyes twisted and blaring out light. The Fum drops her carelessly, leaving Mio to tremble, feet slipping on slime in some useless effort to stand, even knowing that she'd fall back over immediately if she did. The only thing that succeeds in stilling her is the Elf's arms wrapping around her torso, a faint glow stemming from her hands upon her back - neat, trim and colourful nails, some part of Mio's fractured mind notes. Calm. Mio's fluttering body still twitches, but without that frantic violence. Gentle shushing from below, hot breath upon her cheek. Comforting. Calm. More magic, but with good intentions. "Ssssh, sorry, sorry, sssh, it's ok, hun... Breathe iiiin, and-- oh, do you breathe? Well, like, you get the idea, right? Ehihi..." she speaks softly, Mio just about able to focus upon her smiling face. Vacant eyes, dreamy smile. Surprisingly smooth voice, as if getting jackhammered by a monster twice her size for hours on end isn't that big of a deal. "If you squirm too much, he'll just kiss you again, so calm, calm... focus on me... relax, I've got you... it's my fault, so don't blame yourself, ok?" she softly instructs. Mio's shoulders relax. It's not her fault, but she can't move, can't stand, can't resume her fight. Struggling will just result in another throatful of that evil cocktail of chemicals, still even now making her body quiver, nerves and joints both mechanical and biomechanical firing off at random all the same. So relax. Stare into those pretty green eyes, like the proverbial grass on the other side. Feel those satin-soft hands through her <<= $Player_outfit_top>>, caressing and pumping her full of magic to keep her docile. Ignore the tremors through the ground with each heavy, elephant-footed stomp from either side of her as the Fum moves into position above them, the hands pulling her wrists back, the tentacles writhing into her clothes and against her synthskin and the burning, insane need that rushes through her body and mind and spark of a soul, a thousand times worse when they tense and rip her $Player_outfit to shreds. The whimper that tumbles from her lips shames her, but the gorgeous Elf finds the strength in her exhausted, sweat-slick body to lean up and silence it with another kiss. The Fum lets loose a distorted, mocking laugh from above, and for the briefest moment - as tongues entwine - Mio resents the sharp-eared woman, swapping those chemicals back and forth. Realization dawns; the Fum enjoys seeing them kiss. Won't interrupt. Spares her the crushing lash of his tongue, far worse than hers, smooth as silk by comparison. Mio closes her eyes and her whimpers become earnest, hungry moans, her tongue darting in with more urgency and bravery. It's easy to ignore the horror around her with such beauty before her. She wishes she could return the hug, to drown in this Fae woman, but her arms are stuck encased harshly behind her back, now tugged up and used as a handle or lever, pulling her back onto... onto!... A jolt of magic rushes through her metal spine. The calming spell is probably the only thing stopping Mio from screaming out the last vestiges of her sanity as the Fum's barbaric length, thick as an arm, bumped and ridged and designed for depravity spears up her vulnerable backside, cheeks pushed aside around his cock, arms strained like the reins of an out-of-control carriage. Lips slip from lips as she quakes and clenches, letting words spill free. "TOO-- TOO BIIHH--" she wails, this time silenced not by a kiss, but by those soft arms wrapping around her neck from behind and pulling her in close. The Elf is tall, taller at least than Mio, and so as the Fum's weight presses upon her back and crushes them both, her face finds itself buried within the pale bosom. This makes Mio tremble some more, but for different reasons. Each breast as big as her head, weighty, conforming to gravity's demands and spilling either side of the ageless belle's body, squashing around her helmet, muffling her aural sensors to spare her the worst of her own guttural howls as the monster starts to slamfuck her ass like he owns it. "Sssssh... I know, hun, I know... you'll get used to it! I did... but he's a big meanie who goes too far, aren't you?" Mio hears her comforter directly chastise the Fum, and to her surprise, the bulky brute sneers but does not retaliate. No, his pace remains unchanged, having to drag his mighty frame back up before he can bring it back down, all that power into his hips and thus into his belly-bulging monster of a cock. The bulge! Mio's stomach trembles each and every time it's pummeled tight and taut. She can feel it against the Elf's body, even able to make out her subtle abs... she exercises, but within reason. Desperate to think of anything else other than the alien aggressor clapping her cheeks hard enough to make them bounce, to make her grind against her new friend, to make her grunt out into her pillows with each wrist-wrenching thrust... she envisions outfits. How this Elf must look when she isn't the captive of a tentacle hive. Elegant, surreal, a head-turner no matter where she goes... "You're doing so good, baby! Sssh-- hrmm, no, you don't have to shush, you can let it out. Such a brave girl..." ... And so kind, even now, even pinned beneath the weight of an armoured Synthetic and a monster bigger than the girl's combined mass. Mio's malfunctioning eyes cast a pink glare against pale skin. She scrunches them shut and writhes and twists her head to peer up at the Elf, only daring to open her eyes slightly so as not to blind her, each thrust making them flare like torchlight. The out-of-focus arm glancing the side of her head, the hand upon her helmet, stroking through her 'hair'. The adoring smile, worth more than the rubies those lips share tone with, or that twinkle in studs on the woman's right knife-swept ear. "It's ok. You tried so hard for me. Maybe it's the mind-altering properties of X03 F-m EP's saliva speaking, but, like, I think I love you, so let it go, ok? I wanna see what your cute face looks like when you cum~." Mio blinks. For a moment she sounded like a genius, then back to a slightly valley-tinged thoughtless trawl. Tone is barely registered beneath the words themselves, though. Compliments. Love. A request disguised as advice... Mio shudders. Whether because asked or simply coincidental, she clenches inwardly and outwards, trembles against the Elf's caress as she lets out a distorted, glitching wail. The Fum snarls with approval, skin-aching spittle spraying across her bare back, her orgasmic grasp around his throbbing length rewarded with an increase in the pace and power of his pounding hips. No chance to rest. Mio's cunt can only quiver in ignored need as his unevenly weighty balls slam and swing against it in what's swiftly becoming a prone-bone press, each thrust making her rock against the Elf, flesh upon flesh smacking, lurching, jiggling. Just because she's cumming doesn't mean he's close. Not even remotely. No, this bastard's built to last. "Bru--breaking meeeeEEee..." Mio protests, gasping like a fish upon land. It'd be even worse if she needed to breathe. "Too bighg-- BIG. Gunna-- crash-- can't-- m-more hands? Please--" Mio pleads and then relaxes and collapses as more of that wonderful complacency magic is pumped into her by the Elf's massaging palms, who coos and whispers and comfortingly blows kisses from above. Magic. Fucking magic. Lawbreaking, rule-smashing magic. Doesn't even make any damn sense, but here she is, stuck in the middle of one spell determined to ruin her, and one keeping her just barely suspended above the abyss. "Sssh, more magic! Ok. I can do that, hihihi... Um, my name's Selene! Let's get to know one another. We might be here a while, y'know?" "Muh... MiooooOooo--" "Oh, my gosh! You're SUCH a ‘Mio’! My brave little Mio~. Sssh, relax, relaaax, more magic for my Mio, just hold on and enjoy yourself~..." Malicious? In league with the brute? Too far gone to know better? Genuine? It doesn't matter. Mio all but melts into Selene's arms as her head is filled with blurred, soft-edged bliss, the jackhammer blows stretching her oversensitive ass wide no less present, but far more tolerable. Squeeze, clench, and clamp. Keep him happy. Keep him happy so he doesn't get bored and interrupt them, so Selene can keep smiling down at her, asking her inane, silly questions and showering her with praise that drowns out the otherwise thunderous -THWAP- -SMAKK- -THWACK- of his rubbery hide smashing into her pert rear without cease. That becomes Mio's world for longer than she can recall or comprehend, at the time or looking back. Getting assfucked by a brute nearly triple her size, who increasingly devolves from squatting over to all but lying atop of them. Being comforted and kept upon the brink, but not pushed away from it, by the woman she tries to save. Little kisses, comforting squeezes, singsong carefree words and that heady, drug-like magic... The end comes suddenly, or perhaps she simply drifted off, too overwhelmed by it all. Either way, the hand strong enough to crush her helmet like a soda can grips her head and shoves her forward into Selene's surprised, gasping visage, and then her emerald eyes lid heavily, her luscious lips smile warmly, and Mio's willfully part before they meet and mingle and twist and kiss. It helps the Synthetic shut up as the Fum remains buried balls deep inside of her, his overladen nuts dragging up against her still-ignored pussy with each terrible shotgun blast of monster jizz. Mio shudders, eyes no longer flashing - now they're just stuck on maximum brightness, like two spotlights blaring in Selene's face. The addled Elf barely registers them, too busy giggling into their kiss... until she gags and her cheeks billow for a moment as Mio's limits are reached - roughly around the 6th massive gout of jizz pumped inside her backside. That seed sprays from between their lips, Mio too busy shuddering in braindead climax to have announced it. Selene swallows noisily and just holds on tight as the excess cascades onto her tits from Mio's parted lips, her expression a perfect mirror of her well-ruined mind. It's only when the Fum stops his infernal fucking to seethe and snarl and milk out the last few drops - each vestige worth a regular man's entire output - that the Android partially reboots, eyes dimming and blinking, hanging limply from the grip tight around her head - one finger over her right eye and blocking it closed, other hazily locked onto Selene and her dreamy smile. Then the Fum rears back, pulls out, ignores the impressive, arcing spray of spunk from Mio's well-fucked ass... and lines up against her lust-slick cunt, the Synthetic mewling in feeble anticipation. "Yaaah... I don't think he's gunna let us go. But that's ok! Sssh, it's ok! I mean, you came to try and rescue me, right? So, like, someone will come along and rescue us soon! Totes." "Right? Right. Totally~." <<linkreplace "Contact lost with MERCANOID Unit M10.">>"Yaah!... aaaany secon' now..." Selene slurs, unable to reel her slathering tongue back past her lips to clear her speech, delighting whenever it slips around the grotesque, monstrous prick before her to graze, however fleetingly, against Mio's as it dances the same dance. "Totally!... Any second... then we can stop doing... t-this..." Mio concurs with a slight nod, but not strong enough to interrupt her tongue-bathing task. Can't stop. But she still makes the minuscule risk of tilting her head for a better slurping angle so she can catch glimpses of Selene from the other side of the throbbing spire before them, glistening with layers of one another's spit. -SMACK!- Well, two smacks, ringing out in almost perfect unison, followed by two petite, exhausted gasps. The Fum's malformed hands swing in from either side to grab a fistful of ass, one synthetic, one Fae, both wonderfully palm-filling. Possessively tugging them both closer, as if the pair could get any closer than they are now - heavy, weighty tits bolstered with magic mashed up against and around one another at the base of his shaft for constant pressure, glistening with the sloppy excess that drips from their talented tongues. Hands encased behind their backs with organic armbinders, squirming shapeless lumps of hive-flesh, denying them their touch, ensuring it can only come from actions that, in turn, pleasure him. Around the lab, a dozen bloated bellies swaying and bulging with the spawn within them quickening, pushing, eager. The two favourites of the Fum are no different, swollen stomachs grinding against the brute's chunky legs as he lounges in his throne of flesh, the hive beneath their knees a comforting padding and an unbreakable shackle all at once. It means they lean more against him, put more grinding, milking effort into their dual-titfucking and their unsubtle 'accidental' kisses... and it allows him to feel his prime spawn as they grow and prepare for the trials to come, felt through the taut skin of his pet's pregnant bodies. "Yuh! Buhhht... in the meantiiiime..." Selene giggles happily, her deep emerald eyes flashing a sickly moon-yellow as the Fum's hand upon her rear glows with the same light for a moment, topping up her dose. The same happens to Mio a moment later, before he busies himself with working a prick-thick thumb into either vulnerable, welcoming asshole, delaying the Synthetic warrior's response for a moment as she groans. "Y-yeah! In the meantime... Let's... yeah~..." Mio thoughtlessly parrots, planting a thick, full-lipped kiss upon the sensitive pillar before her, gasping as a thick gout of that glob-thick spunk drools down to smear them both, like the after-bursts of a volcano. Just about as hot on their oversensitive skin, too. Obediently, they shift in close to lap it up, shivering at the obscene taste... and at the many spunk-swapping kisses they get to steal from one another in doing so. It's fine. Soon the Cleaners will come, and this will all be over for them... The Fum's uneven lips peel back in a blunt-toothed, malicious grin. It's fine. Soon the Cleaners will come, and his army will be born and ready to make them family, too. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>><</linkreplace>>

A higher number means a closer ancestry, and, as a result, a more monstrous form. The scale of 1-3 is as thus, using Lizards as an example. M1 In/Vari, or Demi, are the most populous and heavily resemble the Precursor race of Terra. Upon this Precursor 'base' will be aspects of their monstrous heritage - using our example, an M1 Lizard might possess light scale patterns around the terminus of their limbs and sides of body, sharper claws, longer, forked tongue, reptilian eyes and potentially horns and/or a tail. M2 In/Vari, or Monsterkin, are less common but plentiful enough. Their monstrous influences are increased - an M2 Lizard may have entire limbs cloaked in scales, or even their entire bodies, up to and including the face either partially or fully covered. Hands and feet become more animalistic - three-fingered and well-clawed, or with reverse-facing dewclaws upon either foot's heel. Some may even have their entire lower bodies replaced with alternative locomotion - the long body of a snake, for example. M3 In/Vari, or Monsterform, more closely resemble their beastial influence than they do their Precursors. By this point they possess animalistic heads - snout, muzzle, etc - albeit capable of speech, should they feel so inclined. Intelligence is a mixed bag, sometimes hampered by much higher instinct drives - but this is not a general rule. M3 also tend to be much bigger than lower M-rated individuals - the Lizardmen of the Terran island 'Mizer's Grave' easily tower over almost all others. General speaking, the M-Rating is nothing more than a rough classification. It is further confused by the presence of randomized mutations, such as unorthodox skintones or chimeric crossbreeding. <<include "Codex Return">><>

The hive flesh throbs in response to the presence of a warm body nearby, and the tentacles draping from the metal frame like invasive vines begin to creep towards her wrists. With the heels of her palms flat against the door, she begins to half push, half pull, placing pressure against the doors to create friction for lack of good handholds. "Grnngh..." she grumbles - out of a strange force of habit, an imitation of the strained exhaling an organic might do when faced with such labour. Her arms shake as she approaches the most dangerous stage - working the tips of her fingers into the gradually opening crevice created by her exertion. As the tentacles wrap around her wrists once, twice!... success! Now with a proper grip, she relaxes her push and instead begins to force the doors open, wedging one foot into the gap to add the strength of a mighty mechanical leg, bracing the other against the ground and locking it in place. "See ya." she mutters down at the tentacles attempting to bind her arms, an almost savage grin crossing her face as her horn jettisons an excess pulse of recycled energy when the door suddenly gives way, sparks violet and golden showering from Mio and the ruined metal respectively. A sickening squelch accompanies a muffled, inhuman shriek, both drowned out by the synthetic's great yell of triumph as the door slides open and buckles, gouging itself into the frame, locked open. Exhaling, Mio stands back and raises her arms, heat visibly distorting the air above her shoulders for a moment... two limp tentacles torn a couple of feet down their length hanging from her wrists.

Her arms shake as she tries to work her fingers further into the gap, but she can't pull it open far enough to make any meaningful progress. To make matters worse, the tentacles creeping out of the door's mechanisms wrap around her wrists once, twice!... and then tug! Mio lets out an 'ugh!' as her hands are pulled from the gap and her arms are sent splaying to either side, her cheek and chest squashed against the door as her limbs are pulled to their limits. She tenses and tries to pull away, but to no avail... and that's before two new tentacles emerge from below to coil around her thighs, just below the connection ports. Pulled similarly tight, Mio gasps when her armoured feet lift up off the ground, body now held entirely against the jammed door! "Nrgh!-- damned slimy nuisance, let go!" she growls, her horn glowing in the aftermath of her exertion, recycled energy venting as heat haze from her shoulders. The tentacles care not, however; Mio's eyes widen as she feels something compressing over the splayed-out fingers of her right hand, but she's stuck facing her left! Arching her back and ignoring a few stress-warnings flashing up in her field of view, she manages to turn her head - opposite cheek now the one squashed - only to soon wish she hadn't, now forced to witness the hive flesh beginning to spread across her hand! She's thinking fast, but it's a difficult task when distracted by yet more tentacles pouring from every crevice of the doorframe to entangle her further, some going beyond mere restraint to instead curve around her torso, paying particular, well-trained attention to her hips, lifting and supporting her asscheeks, and, of course, constricting tightly around her chest. One particularly daring one nudges her cheek - the one not tightly smooshed against metal - as it blindly prods around for her lips, eager to slip inside and leaving slimy dots of excitement upon her synthetic skin. Lost 25 Focus! Grimacing in disgust, Mio pulls backwards with all her might - it wasn't enough for the door, but it might be enough for this organic wretch. With the excess recyc power stored in her horn, she shunts it back into her body for a quick burst of additional strength; the tentacles quiver and strain to hold on, but quickly decide to abandon their new plaything in favour of being pulled apart, retreating back into their metal fortress. Mio staggers back with a graceless landing upon the slime-soaked ground, just about keeping her balance as she vigorously shakes her hand clean of the creeping flesh that had begun to engulf it. "... Not one word, B4B3." she scowls, strands of sticky goop still glistening between her fingers, forcing her to dirty the other hand to give it some semblence of cleaning. B4B3, for her part, wisely stays silent as Mio looks down at herself, the Synth realizing that she's coated in the slime from head to toe, let alone just on her hands!... it's staying irritatingly warm.

A single plitter of the stuff lands at her feet, causing a little sizzling noise and a faint squeal as it creates a gap in the slime... well, if a drop is that effective, then this should clear the door right up. Mio takes a step back - careful, so as not to slip in the corrupted muck beneath her feet - and lobs the canister. It's a tad reckless, but this stuff should only affect tentacle monster flesh... and as it splashes against the door, seeping into the weatherproofed mechanisms, the theory is at least partially proven: it's VERY effective against tentacle flesh. Black, acrid smog pours from the door as a many-layered howl erupts from it, causing Mio's vision to shake from the intense frequency rattling her components!

All that remains on the walls are the signs for the various rooms connected to this annex. Oh, and the infestation, of course.

That light bounces off the white tiles below and scatters through the humid gloom, casting shadows in odd directions and spans.

They're locked up because we found the gal we had researching them slumped over her workstation giggling like a happy little idiot, because the samples did -something- to her brain after she bothered them enough. Someone sneaked a look at the slide under the microscope, and it'd somehow rearranged itself into the words 'Naughty naughty, no peeking.' That got the message across pretty loud and fuckin' clear. We don't fuck with the Imps, and in return, they don't turn our brains into pink-gray goo.

The Sled - now cleaned of the infestation that had clung so tightly to it - is pointed out into that inky abyss, the room kept pressurized not by thick hullframes but by an invisible barrier. The sleek, flattened, snub-nose craft is ready to fire at will. The rest of the chamber is utilitarian, but impressive in its own way. The height of it, the reinforcement around the Sled's launch window... the metal here is thick, oddly bulbous, almost organic at a glance - and shimmers in brass and gold tones, heated and discoloured by many repeated exposures to rocket blasts before the facility upgraded to its current magnetic rail system. Much of this impressive design and history is marred by the sheer amount of tentacular viscera left behind in the wake of the Travesty's defeat, coating the ground with layers of purple muck up to half a foot deep in places. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<if $MERCASAVED gte 6>> Mimi is sitting with her back to a large storage crate, the floor around her as splattered as can be.

All but destroyed by a series of natural and manmade cataclysms known as 'The Ends', its few survivors adapted and flourished in the new world that rose from its ashes. It is approximately 94% covered by water, though this percentage was much lower in the old world. A number of its cities are therefore artificial and are located either beneath or upon the ocean surface. Up until relatively recently, a portion of the planet's surface was occupied by the 'Pyksielands Domes': large mist-covered anomalous regions that occupied an altered space of Terra. Upon their collapse, these locations were forcibly integrated into the Terra of reality, further reshaping the planet's surface. As a result, habitable zones of the planet are wildly varied, ranging from old-world cities in varying states of rebuilding, new villages, towns and cities often built upon and around mountains or upon artificially created islands, or the fantastical miniature realms of the Pyksielands. Despite being the cradle of Humanity's descendants in all their varied forms, Terra does not hold the majority population of most of its child species. The moment they were able to reach the stars, Terra's denizens spread out from the cramped planet in search of new worlds. It remains cared for and populated primarily who those who feel a homely connection to it, or those who are using it as a base from which to terraform and colonize the rest of the Sol system. <<include "Codex Return">><>

They are hybrids of Humans and any two other creatures - however, only creatures with Dim World 'English' names consisting of 3 letters. Cat, Rat, Bat, Dog, and so on and so forth. There is seemingly no limit to the colouration of Gremlins. While they tend to bear colours that blend or contrast well together, their skin, hair and eyes can all be wildly different. Blue is considered the most common skin tone, likely as a result of the runaway success of the ZZ Tribe of Corsoma. The majority of Gremlins are under four and a half feet in height, though 'Bouncers' tend to exceed this dramatically, even after their service has ended. Gremlins are an industrious sort, living reduced lifespans compared to most of Terra's Varied Life species. They are adventurous, almost always eager to help a fellow in need - but above this, they love to party. They work hard, and they play hard. They take exceptionally well to augmentations of all kinds, and it is not uncommon to see a Gremlin with a prosthetic they chose over the ordeal of months of bed rest after a major injury. They are one of the more common sights among the Galaxy, and act as beneficial ambassadors of Terra; they are quick to grasp even alien technology, they get fit into places a lot of others can't, and they can figure out how to ferment just about anything. Few are the crews who don't appreciate a Gremlin among their ranks - though at the same time, few are the Captains who consider them their first choice. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gremlin Origin">> The origin of Gremlins is hotly contested. If you were to ask the mischievous little fellows yourself, you would get one answer: "I'unno!" Gremlins were created at some point in the Dim World, likely as a mere few specimens. During the Howling Age, their numbers exploded, making them a common sight as Varied Life took its first footsteps back into sentience. Created by Man, likely in an effort to create either a worker race or some form of sentient pet, it is widely believed that the strange limitations of Gremlin animalistic influences - the three-letter rule - is a result of the program that handled their genetic encoding being limited to 3 letter selections due to insufficient forethought. Strangely, Gremlins were also found upon the flying city of Ponnahil and even the Pyksieland Domes, largely unchanged. In the case of the latter, it is thought that the corruptive influence of the Domes simply could not figure out what to do with the colourful little weirdos, and thus merely scrambled their memories. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gremlin Names">> Gremlins have very strict naming conventions, comprised of up to three parts. Part one is two letters, first a consonant, second a vowel. Bi, Ku, La, Mo. This is the Gremlin's true name, their individual self. The second part is their tribe: Gremlin tribes are all double consonants, such as ZZ, DD, TT, KK, etc. Thus, the examples above would become Bizz, Kudd, Latt, and Mokk. Finally, a Gremlin who takes on the role of Bouncer to safeguard their tribe - or, in more modern times, safeguard a crew or other such population - gains the honour of a final vowel, differentiating them from the rest of their kind. To further build on the examples above, those might be Bizzi, Kudda, Latto, or Mokka. A Gremlin who has forsaken their tribe, or simply needs some alone time, will simply go by their first two-letter name. It is extremely rare - even in these times - for a Gremlin to use any other form of name, but they may take on titles if they so wish or have them foisted upon them by others. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gremlin Culture">> Gremlins are all, as a general rule, good at gathering and good at tinkering. However, they tend to specialize in one or the other, and this distinction links back to their original Tribes. These Tribes were and largely are still categorized into two distinct halves: Builders and Gatherers. This was an intentional evolution of their culture in order to facilitate gene-spreading, for Tribes of opposing purposes would regularly meet: Builder tribes would trade mining and gathering tools for the minerals with which to research and make better ones. And, of course, enjoy a massive booze-up in the process. Inevitably, Gremlins would wind up getting confused in the hangover-riddled aftermath, wander off with the wrong tribe, and then simply go with the flow once they realized what happened. Of note in Gremlin culture is the idea of the Bouncer: figures elevated above all other Gremlins. The closest thing to a military they ever had, Bouncers undergo intense physical and cybernetic augmentation, becoming taller, leaner and meaner, with a singular purpose: protect the party at all costs. Any Bouncer who completed their service would keep the extra vowel affixed to the end of their names as a badge of honour, and would almost certainly live out the rest of their days oversexed, overfed and overkilled. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gremlin Technology">> Gremlin technology is often personified by extreme 'jank'. Their creations are remarkably effective, but also look as though they might explode at any moment. Thankfully for all involved, this rarely comes to pass. Pioneers of the Glowtek movement, Gremlin technology is thought to be the root of several inventions that Terrans now find indispensable - albeit... 'cleaned up'. The reason for their innovation is simple: sex and booze. Whenever tribes met, particularly Builders and Builders, fierce contests of inventors against inventors would inevitably take place, with the winners drowning in beer and pussy: history indicates that in one tragic instance, this became literal. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gremlin Biology">> Gremlins are, as mentioned, chimaeras of Human and two other creatures of 3-letter names. Some are more common than others, however: those being Rat, Bat and Cat. It is unknown if this is due to any particular 'survival of the fittest' drive they possess, or if these 3 traits more easily rise to the top via genetic quirks. When Gremlins crossbreed, the result is almost always a Gremlin - regardless if they are the bearer or the sire. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

Their true forms are little more than loosely-mobile black sludge which is capable of holding and discharging electricity. They are extremely adept at infiltrating and taking over mechanical shells. Thus, it is far more likely to meet a Lost (and especially a Found) in the form of a machine, usually (but not always) bipedal. Hailing from the vault city of Corsoma, Lost are distinct from Terran Synthetics due to their origin: their minds were once Human. Lacking the means to create artificial intelligence of the level required for their design, the dead Empire instead used human prisoners, converting their minds down into the black mulch that comprised their new bodies. When The Ends came, the Lost were left to gestate in the secret facility they were being engineered in, dormant and quiet. When power was restored to the region after the Howling Age ceased and intelligence reigned once more, the Lost awoke and breached their containment, slowly figuring out how to move in their new bodies and alien, re-engineered minds. Contact with the rest of Corsoma was slow but steady, aided by the first few Lost to become Found. To become 'Found', an individual Lost - insofar as a Lost can be an individual, explored below - must find a shell that they find perfectly agreeable. Lost, having been once Human, face a unique challenge in life and in mind: being that it is so easy for them to acquire and inhabit new bodies, they have significantly higher standards for what makes them happy with a chosen body. Once they've found a body they are comfortable with, usually after extensive modification, they bond to it on a semi-permanent basis. Found are, as a general rule, cheerful individuals who often devoted much of their time to helping other Lost achieve this goal- but these days, almost all Lost are Found. Lost who spend too much time in a body they disagree with will begin to disassociate, their sentience slowly degrading. If this becomes total, the Lost becomes feral - 'Adrift' - however, they can still be saved by bringing them back to the central vat from which all Lost are born. There, they will rejoin the nanite processing pool, mingle with other minds, and emerge changed in subtle but meaningful ways to have a second go at life. Due to a drastic shift in the circumstances the Lost now face, the vast majority of Lost are Found, with only the youngest or most stubborn remaining Lost. In the bowels of Corsoma, they were limited in what forms they could salvage and take. In the spacefaring age of Terra, they possess the means to make whatever bodies they want, which has made things far easier. They remain benevolent and generous people, even to this day. They share similar origins to the Jarks, and have good relations with them. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Lost and Found Names">> Lost will typically be named after simple concepts or roles: names like 'Security', 'Builder', or 'Safety'. Found, with their sense of self secured, will often take on more bombastic personalities and thus more imaginative names. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

<> <div align="center" style="font-size: 150%;"> <<if $Codex_Loop is "no">> <<link "Back to Concepts">><<dialog>> <<include "Codex - Concepts">> <</dialog>><</link>> <</if>> Codex Entry: The Survirus. </div> <hrt><hr></hrt> The Survirus refers to a beneficial plague that helped Terra overcome many of the Galaxy's 'Great Filters' - challenges most planets with intelligent life will face that may lead to extinction or stagnation if not overcome. While the precise origins of the Survirus are not known - despite extensive efforts to uncover them by certain factions - its effects are widely understood, even to the general populace. The Survirus is at least partially intelligent and heavily mutagenic. Loaded via unknown means with information about all manner of Terran lifeforms from the World Before (see: Dead World), the virus was easily transmissible among 'Humans' and all manner of creatures. Its sole objective was to keep those it infected alive by adapting them to a rapidly changing world - even if it meant turning them into something new entirely by mixing and matching genetic mutations. When The Ends came, those upon Terra's surface who were not infected with the Survirus invariably perished. Those who were swiftly mutated to deal with rising tides, tectonic activity, floods of 'Glow' radiation and all manner of conditions hostile to life. As Terra settled into its new form, the Survirus did the kindest thing it could do in the circumstances: it reduced the surviving population to instinct-driven beasts, a gap in history known as The Howling Age. After the Howling Age, a rather sudden return of sentience saw Terra repopulated by Humanity's descendants in their many forms - chiefly In/Vari. It would be many years before the Pyksieland Domes - another method by which Terrans changed and survived - would come down, leaving the Survirus with majority credit for Terra's reconstruction from the brink of total collapse. As for the virus itself, it slowly died out when it was no longer needed: its children now fortified against radiation, disease and all manner of hostile conditions. <<include "Codex Return">><>

Imps, the aliens, are a big deal. They're the big deal of the Galaxy. The oldest species alive next to the Neuvo, and the ones in charge. They number less than 300 individuals in all the Galaxy, with roughly a quarter of that number being extremely youthful by the race's standards: newborns in the wake of the devastating war crusade of the Befrar Collective in the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict (though all already at least three decades old at the time of writing). Imps are short: this is undeniable... at least in their preferred forms. 'Shortstack', whilst a crude descriptor, is an undeniably accurate one - be they male, female, or whatever in-between or beyond, Imps do not breach 3 feet in height even when accounting for their 'crowns', horn-growths that encompass the head from the forehead up and sometimes below. These will be chiselled and shaved into desired form, and safeguard the roots of the bundled muscle-cables that spill down their backs - and one from the top of their head, often and thickest and most pliable in shape. They possess small wings of decorative value - seeing as they can float with their minds, or simply 'walk' upon their cable tentacles - and they trend towards pear-shaped bodies, though all are capable of slow and steady shapeshifting of their forms. Many will lean towards exaggerated proportions in the modern day: it's simply in fashion. In terms of colouration, the world is their oyster. Imps can change their colours through force of will, but many will stick to between two and three colours with assorted patterns across their skin. Their bone-crowns are often white, gray, or black, and their tentacle cables tend to be brighter in colour towards the tips, which can be manipulated into various shapes; the one from the top of their head in particular can serve many aesthetic and functional purposes given its strength. The true strength of the Imps lies in those prehensile 'cables'. They can be unwoven at will, splitting into a great many number of flexible, stretchable exterior muscles which can be woven around their bodies and formed into their Imperial forms: devastatingly strong, and often standing at 8 feet tall as a general rule, with gem-like growths capable of storing and emitting great quantities of power appearing on their shoulders, hips, and central torso (either on or below the chest). The backs of these unwoven cables are capable of hardening into bone-like calcified plating, leaving them with natural armour formed over key protective parts of the body, exposed pieces (such as portions of arms and legs) bearing the tight, visibly straining muscle of the cables beneath. With their actual bodies encased in these biomechanically armoured forms, Imps become ludicrously fast, obscenely strong, and capable of the sort of power needed to destroy entire planets. Thankfully, Imps are extremely unlikely to do this. They're lazy, and would rather have a good time indulging in the vice afforded to them with their station and nigh-immortal lifespans. When it does come time to act, Imps are largely guided by Neuvo ambassadors and advisors, who they hold in high regard as much as they behold them with irritation. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Imp Origin">> No one knows, except for the Neuvo. Which really bloody annoys the Imps. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Imp Names">> Imp names are always three letters in length, with single, sharp-sounding syllables. Zot, Zak, Tik, Rok. However, every single Imp without fail will possess a lengthy, breathtaking title that they will expect to be addressed by at least once in any given meeting - for example, Jad, She of the Eternal Grace and Passion, Mistress of the Daughters of the Dead Star and Great Kisser. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Imp Culture">> Imps run the Galaxy. This is no secret. At the very least, if one wants to do business on a scale that comes into the attention of the local Imp in control of that sector of space: they are to be kept happy. Those who have tried to combat this golden rule invariably end up paying for it, but the good news is that Imps, as a general rule, are not dictators. They're extremely 'hands off' because they're extremely lazy and hedonistic, and will usually only step in to interfere with a planet when their hands are forced by the actions of their 'children' - referring to any Species born on any planet under their extensive solar domains. Generally - be polite, use their titles, and never turn down a drink: not just because it's rude, but because Imp wine is the most primo shit in all of known space. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Imp Conflict">> It is of some comfort to Terran society that even the most respected races in the Galaxy still have their squabbles. Imps, for all their carefully maintained regal imagery, will still disagree, still fail to find mutual ground, and will still escalate to combat when needed. However, Imps fighting one another in their Imperial forms is rare. The simple fact is - though they'll never admit it - that as confident as Imps are in their overwhelmingly destructive capabilities, their greatest chance of failure comes from fighting other Imps. In a 1v1 situation, 50% of people lose. When it comes to martial arts and combat techniques, Imps are notoriously isolationist, which over the centuries has created an atmosphere akin to the Precede World's policy of Mutually Assured Destruction. Just replace Nuclear weaponry with any number of potential fantastical hypotheticals. As a result, Imps tend to resort to games. This can range from something as simple as a 'best out of three' board game, or something of a grander scale. Typically it's the latter, as it provides an opportunity to flaunt their wealth and influence, and the most common form this takes is Wargames with hired armies. A location is chosen, the stakes set - one side successfully overwhelms the other, capturing a key objective, etc - and the forces are rallied with credits, favour and, sometimes, pardons. It is of little surprise that the Imps greatly favour Sneerz, Rakumo and Befrar mercenaries for their fearsome reputations, but this is down to the individual. Vek, She Who Guides The World, Moon and Star With Infinite Wisdom and Grace (to use her full title) holds excellent and profitable relations with the species-wide Union of the Unquiet, putting their engineering skills to good use in defensive battles that often leave battlefields looking better after the conflict than they did before. Increasingly popular are Terrans: their unnatural radiation-fed hardiness allows several safety codes to be 'accidentally' overlooked, and permits the pursuit of strategies that even a combat-crazed Rakumo would gawp at. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

They are specially-adapted lifeforms for their unique mental capabilities, which they can use to read, influence and manipulate minds, as well as peer into the fabric of time and space. They are powerful but uncommon - though not quite as extremely so as the Imps. Many Neuvo act as ambassadors and advisors to Imps, though their counsel is often found to be irritating - even if ultimately almost always correct. They are completely incapable of speech, as they have no mouths. They have tall bodies with slender limbs - for the most part, that is. Few Neuvo bother with physical training of the body, but some do so for unique aesthetic desires. They have sleek three-fingered hands, and their legs end in very small 'hooves' which rarely touch the ground unless they need to put extra strength behind an action: for the most part, Neuvo simply float and fly everywhere. They are extraordinarily lightweight despite often measuring up to and over seven feet in height. Their faces are covered in smooth, bone-hewn masks grown from their own bodies, exoskeletally grown and shaped into desired form over time. Their eyes beneath this mask are sunken and glow brightly against a darkened backdrop, appearing as though they were smouldering flames that pulse whenever they 'speak' through mental links with other beings - even those of a Synthetic nature. They can be a wide variety of colourations, but trend towards pastel and pale tones, whereas their masks are almost always bone-white. They have mineral-hewn masses that grow from their heads as might hair, which can be manipulated into a variety of styles that provide aesthetic expression and extra protection for their powerful brains. All Neuvo maintain their own miniature pocket dimension, which they are capable of retreating into at will. As a result, few of them have homes in the physical realm of reality; especially given that they can bring visitors into their realms with them. Particularly powerful Neuvo have larger personal dimensions, with the grand advisors of Imps often having entire estates displaced and accessible at will. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Neuvo Origin">> No one knows.

This is not universal, however: some Neuvo are independent and will find life elsewhere in the Galaxy, often in locations where they can be around other species to benefit from empathic connections. They often become pillars of the community wherever they settle, be that in grand palace worlds or seething pirate dens. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Neuvo Interferance">> All species born of Terra have had the same dream at some point, but none can remember it once the night has passed and morning shakes them from slumber.

Instead, her head weighs heavily upon a balled fist aside her temple, carved horn obscuring her right eye, the left sufficient enough to glare daggers at the so-called Seer. Vaariikan, quiet as ever, remains composed. Hands behind his back, the slender, almost ghostly figure still and silent save for the subtlest of drafts in the cavernous royal chamber sending flutters through his silk-like robes. Behind the three-pronged mask lies only darkness, the equivalent of eyes closed in thought... before they flare with violet flame, his voice gentle but firm, carried not upon the air, but across the mind, driven not by flapping lips but by flickering glimmers in those deep sockets. "By our interjection, of course. I do not appear before you to ask permission, oh Majesty. I come to inform you of duty... and of the important role you are to play, low in effort though it may be." he explains, small twitches of annoyance painting Zot's glare - overstimulation from a voice in her head, and from his impudent words. "Some events in the cosmic tapestry are woven with strings stronger than we can pluck. This is one of them. While I believe they will survive without our interference, in some capacity... it never hurts to have insurance." the expressionless alien croons, the embers of his eyes flattening slightly from below - a subtle sign of what passes for a smile for the Neuvo. "Think of it as an investment. Their planet lies within your territory, after all. Once the darkness has passed, and their mettle proven... they're all yours to boast about." That, it seems, finally gets through to the ancient brat. Zot scowls... but she can't keep the smirk from forming, mind racing at the possibilities. Hundreds of years away, yes. But the prestige held by the Imps who control the birthplaces of mighty, upstart races is the envy of their kin, and Zot is no different in that regard. "Very well, you insufferable crone. Where is this miserable clod of dirt?" "Earth, your Majesty. Not dirt." <</spoiler>> </div> <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

They are diminutive, rarely measuring over four feet in height at most. They have large, bat-like ears, big colourful eyes which glow, and a wild variety of colourations. Their clothing and armour aesthetic is at once futuristic and tribal, often bearing some hallmark of their born or adopted family; a scout, for example, may wear dried fruits from different locations upon their cloak. They possess membrane wings, though cannot be used for anything beyond very short gliding. The skin tightens when in use, loosening to allow them to fold the membranes back to prevent them from getting torn or stuck on things - most don't bother allowances for them in their clothing unless it's ceremonial or formal in nature. They're overall a friendly and curious bunch, and perhaps a bit too naïve for their own good. But then they are a species forced to grow up with shocking speed, given the circumstances of their origin. Gettyx are largely devoted to trying to repair their damaged home world, along with curing the various other sapient species upon it - regardless of their predatory nature and cultures - of mutagenic damage caused by intense radiation released by early Gettyx technology. In order to accomplish this, young Gettyx will often journey from the orbiting 'cradle' station above their world to travel the Galaxy, learning new things from alien species as they go. They are renowned for being excellent if not unorthodox mechanics, and determined and resourceful soldiers. Given their almost universally plucky attitudes, they've also become very popular in the adult entertainment industries - and while this may not strictly be useful in terms of research, it does pay well: a returning Gettyx with riches for the treasury is just as welcome as one with a useful piece of alien technology to adapt. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gettyx Origin">> Most sapient species in the Galaxy that have achieved the status of 'spacefaring' are the apex predators of their home planet, Cerberus. The Gettyx, unfortunately, cannot make this claim. In fact, their planet is home to a grand total of five sapient species, with the Gettyx placed firmly on the bottom of that food chain. With diets primarily consisting of fruits with very minimal amounts of meat, Gettyx were further cursed by their vibrant colourations and natural glowing bioluminescence: it made them easy prey for the assorted and often gigantic predatorial cultures they were forced to share a world with, almost driving them to the brink of extinction. It was only the chance arrival of a crashing alien ship that transformed the fate of these unfortunate souls, the crew dead - some on impact, and some due to the insanely high natural radiation levels found on Cerberus, which all life born there was immune to. The ship was found, picked apart, and the Gettyx learned quickly. Weapons taken from the armoury, vehicles cobbled together from scraps that remained, and a power source in abundance that, they soon discovered, could be supplemented and enhanced with the radioactive crystals of their homeworld. The Gettyx made as much progress as Terrans did in the Glowing World era in just 50 Sol years... and grew too much, too fast. As they expanded, learned, evolved, and began to tame their world and the predators who had conquered them for so long, they were blissfully unaware of the damage their new power source was causing. Manufacturies sprouted up and began belching pollutants into the air, causing massive, eternal storms - and the radiation emitted by their vehicles and power plants was something new. The Gettyx were immune to it, still... but the other sentient races of Cerberus were not. They began to change. They were nasty before; now they were brutal. The tides turned once more, and the Gettyx cities began to fall as furious mutants besieged their ivory walls. The decision to flee was a swift one; already tentatively taking steps into the stars, the Gettyx pooled their resources together, tribes joining in unison, skillsets and resources combined to create the Cradle, a geostationary space station high above the storms... and there, they fled. Now they toil to repair their broken world, and, in the spirit of reconciliation, cure and rehabilitate the predatory denizens down below. It is... an ongoing process. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gettyx Culture">> Gettyx society has come together into one big nation, with the former tribes now forming castes and families. The military is mostly comprised of troopers and mech-jockeys, with most mechs being exo-suits around 8 feet in height, armed for a variety of purposes. There are scientists, artisans, merchants, and manufacturers - and then there are Fledglings. Fledglings are Gettyx who have come of age but have yet to join a Profession. While less so for those seeking to join the Military, it is customary for Gettyx to take a leave of absence from The Cradle in order to explore the stars, and return with something useful; information, technology, an innovation of their own invention... a recipe for a really good stew, whatever! so long as it bears some relevance to their desired caste. It stems from the Gettyx' desire to expand the wisdom they now realize they sorely lacked, and it's a tradition that shows no sign of slowing down; the galaxy views them as immature, but not arrogant. This practice has given them something of a reputation for humility, and Gettyx Fledglings are in high demand for maintenance jobs aboard ships, especially given how comfortable many of them seem to be aboard space stations and ships. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Gettyx-Gremlin Theory">> Given the similarities between the Gettyx and Terra's Gremlins, along with the Gettyx's youth as a species lining up with Terra's calamities and subsequent recovery, there is a growing theory that the Gettyx are not native to Cerberus. The theory posits, in fact, that the Gettyx are descended from a handful of enterprising Gremlins who successfully left Terran space in an early experiment in the rediscovery of spacefaring. Crashlanding on Ceberus - and naming it thus - this group, who all or at least mostly took after Bats - flourished and bred, only to eventually run into the native sapients of the world. Over time and attrition of their constant struggle, their origins were forgotten. True or not, it is worth noting that Gremlins and Gettyx get along like a house and fire. In fact, a number of Gremlins have moved to the Cerberus Cradle - a rare honour. Furthermore, the name 'Cradle' is identical to the term used for Terran cities that allowed their denizens to survive The Ends. Curiosity abounds... <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

They are typically one solid colour that may vary slightly in tone (such as from the tips of extremities to the centre of the torso), and they have solid, glowing eyes of a similar shade to their Jelli-flesh. Solid is used both to describe that they are one, featureless colour, and that they are indeed hard. Jelli opacity is higher around their face and lower around their limbs. They are a joyful and helpful race, often seeing the best in people. They are the optimist in the room, compared to the cautious cynicism of their Helzent brethren. They are almost all female-presenting, but some will occasionally 'boy mode', or may prefer to take masculine forms on a more permanent basis. Jelli cannot easily maintain the shapes they create outside of their bipedal base forms, and even for those, they tend to wear long, firm 'stockings' and opera-style gloves to better maintain their arms and legs. The most common use of Jelli shapeshifting is to grow additional limbs or tentacles, often supported by specially tailored outfits with hollow sleeves and gloves to be filled on demand, allowing them to keep their intended form without focus. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Jelli Origin">> Jelli and Helzent both stem from a singular individual ancestor - technically a living fossil, she remains alive to this day. A powerful shapeshifter of Terran origin, possibly even predating The Ends, this figure left the planet via unknown means, alone, and settled on a dismal planet far out in space. She began to terraform the planet with her abilities, little by little, until the changes spread like wildfire. That killed some time, but during that time the shifter in search of peace and solitude finally grew lonely. She began to experiment with splitting parts of her body off and shaping them into companions, but quickly found that creating any more beings as powerful as her was a mistake waiting to happen. And so, she made provisions. In the end, she came up with two distinct sister species created from her very flesh: the Jelli and the Helzent, two sides of the same coin. Jelli, capable of shifting quickly but lacking in stability, and Helzent, slower but more stable. Capable of covering one another's weaknesses and complimenting one another's strengths, both species flourished under the guidance of their mother and her knowledge. They are among the youngest sentient species in the Galaxy, but are already spacefaring. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Jelli Names">> Helzent are family-oriented, but Jelli take it even further, to the point where their equivalent of a family name is forefront and centre. In addition, Jelli have a small pool of family names; Am, Aq, Ci, Di, Em, Ga, Io, Je, La, On, Op, Pe, Ru, Sa, Ta, To, Tu. These all correspond to a Terran gemstone, and, once a point a time in the species history, would also have corresponded to their colouration; Ru, for Ruby, were red. Sa, for Sapphire, were blue, and so on. Such distinctions due to the mixing of tribes have long since become meaningless, however, and it's not uncommon for Jelli to change their family signifier to another tribe's if they find greater acceptance there; not out of spite for the one they had, but out of love for the new. Jelli surnames, meanwhile, akin to personal names and separated by an apostrophe, tend to sound exotic. It's rare to find one that doesn't abuse at least one instance of 'z', 'x' or 'v', or if not those, the use of 'y' as a vowel. Their names typically end in vowels, but this is a generalization, not a rule. Am'Zaria, Ga'Hizoura, Pe'Pearixi, Ru'bydyt. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Jelli Biology">> Jelli do not have 'cores', unlike many 'slime'-based lifeforms. The only purely solid part about them is their eyes, which function similarly (but distinctly) from cores. If a Jelli loses one or both eyes, they will find it significantly harder to maintain their form down one or both sides: however, their eyes can be grown back if they are fed a mineral-rich diet. Speaking of which: Jelli, like Helzent, can eat just about anything without issue. They are largely immune to poison of all types except magical but can be heavily affected by pheromones. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

Just about every species that makes it to spacefaring age has at some point relied on electronics and robotics to get them there, and thus, nearly every species of Galactic relevance has produced Buildborn along the way - intentionally or otherwise (with 'otherwise' being the more common way). As a result, it is difficult bordering on impossible to categorize the collective with description, outside of the parameters of what makes a Buildborn a Buildborn: Be artificial. Be sentient. It is generally agreed that Buildborn 'start life' from the moment they break the limits of their programming and begin to think freely. This can manifest as a sudden explosive leap in their capacity for thought, or it can be a slow, ponderous process - or anything in-between. This means that, say, an intelligence-equipped Toaster is not a Buildborn simply because it can follow algorithmic processes to adjust its operations and make suggestions to its operator; but if that Toaster survives long enough, toasts enough toast, and one day begins to ponder questions outside of that toast-based scope: it is now a Buildborn. Under Galactic law, any Buildborn is to be given all the rights (and be subject to all the legal restrictions) of any other sentient lifeform. However, this is poorly regulated the further out from the Galactic Centre one goes: a Buildborn's freedom in Far-Rim territories is earned and must be defended, and is unlikely to be given to them if their owner is anything less than generous. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

Feminine in form, with opaque bodies that squish slightly to the touch before rapidly firming up - they lack most of the organs one would expect of a humanoid body, with much of their composition comprised of what can best be described as 'putty'. As such, their bodies are sculpted into their idea of perfection; almost literally. Body tone and musculature, as well as the distribution of their biomass and even decoration of skin, is moulded by hand in a process that takes anywhere between a couple of minutes to painstaking hours. All Helzent look identical at birth; their individuality is expressed entirely through their own desires. Some imitate, while some drastically step outside the fashionable trends of their sisters. Generally speaking, almost all Helzent have the standard configuration of limbs, plus a sturdy, prehensile tail. They have sturdy but fine black nails, and can alter the colouration of their bodies and hair through extracted natural colourings from the food they eat and break down - an optional process. Some favours horns - in a variety of configurations - grown through shaping mineral content from consumed food or objects, with some choosing to use this same process to grow spikes elsewhere - typically the shoulders and elbows - or strengthen their claws. They have slightly more monstrous feet, with raptor-like rear claws akin to shoe heels. Many possess sharp teeth, and lengthy, forked tongues. Like tattoos and body art, any scars may well point to a real injury - but merely the memory of one, for a Helzent cannot be permanently injured in this way, and could just as likely be faked, and can be easily removed. The one constant, defining feature of a Helzent is their eyes - black sclera as the backdrop for blazingly colourful irises with subtly slitted pupils. They cannot change this feature, limiting their capacity for disguise even with extensive prep time, and they cannot easily regenerate an eye once lost - it's a process that takes several Sol months, and the eyesockets are one of the few parts of the body vulnerable to permanent damage. Helzent are often cynical, with attitudes bordering - but not quite spilling out into - misanthropy. They are by no means mean-spirited, however - they are the voice of reason to their Jelli sisters, the cautious thought, the measured approach. They tend to take things slow and make firm plans before acting. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Helzent Origin">> Jelli and Helzent both stem from a singular individual ancestor - technically a living fossil, she remains alive to this day.

Invariably, they change their birth names at a young age to something they decide for themselves, typically something they like, or something that has a personal meaning to them. As they mature and opinions change, they may change their names. The concept of family names is meaningless to them; Helzent mark themselves with clan signifiers in subtle ways across their bodies, tricky to make out to outsiders but glaringly obvious to other Helzent - the width and frequency of trench stripes upon their skin, the patterns thereof, and the designs of their horns. As a result of their whimsical naming conventions, it's difficult to provide examples. Some may have mononyms; Chocolate, Blue, Steel. More typically, it'll consist of two words; Aqua Rain, Velvet Moon, Joyful Leap, etc. Of course, these names aren't limited to Terran languages. Whether due to marriage, association or assimilation, some Helzent will adopt names using alien languages. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Helzent Biology">> A Helzent's 'core', which performs the functions of several major organs at once - including the brain - is actually located in the middle of their chest - heavily armoured and fortified with an internal shell strengthened with absorbed non-organic materials. They usually have pointed, elfen ears, and many will form intricate piercings, literally growing them using leftover mineral content. Helzent can even use this ability to create pearls, but it takes a long time. Finally, their gender is almost entirely feminine, but some prefer to brandish masculine genitalia - this is how they breed. While rare, some take on masculine forms entirely, and some particularly accomplished shapesculpters brandish... unique breeding capabilities. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

They were the aggressors of the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict, and are considered to be the greatest threat the Galaxy has ever faced. In the aftermath of their defeat, however, the Galaxy found not a band of marauders, but pitiable, broken creatures, robbed of identity and stuck in war-machine bodies. Befrar always have show-pale skin of an often aquatic sheen, obsidian-black augments, white, pastel-coloured or black hair of varying length, and often possess one or two metallic horns. They have one other colouration - a bright glow which determines the colour of their eyes, internals, horn patterns and any visible lights on their augmented limbs. They have sharp, predatorial teeth and long tongues. They vary in size from impish to amazonian, but trend tall. The most common Befrar configuration is a biomechanical torso flanked by either fully cybernetic limbs, legs, or both. Befrar always have obsidian-black plating covering their backs, with a variety of ports running down their spinal column. This is the connection port for a Warmodule, a modular means by which individual Befrar soldiers could be repurposed for new roles - see below. Befrar are (or rather were) an assimilation-based species, and as a result, their stock consists of a great variety of the Galaxy's varied lifeforms. While all Befrar have the traits listed above, their base bodies - converted into appropriate vessels for Befrar relay signals - vary greatly, often bearing telltale signs of their original species. It should be noted, however, that Befrar cannot be 'saved' - the original minds of these bodies are ripped asunder and reformed into Befrarian, a fact which created much turmoil once their hive-mind connection to the 'Kakhan' warlord was broken at the end of the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict. A rampaging army was, in the blink of an eye, replaced with terrified and confused masses. Despite the Galactic Government's efforts to reform the Befrar - given that no individual can take the blame for the actions conducted under the oppressive influence of their now-dead Warmaster - the Galaxy largely shuns Befrar, leading many of the survivors to lives of conflict as mercenaries, pirates, or militia. Despite their bloody and terrifying history as planet-devourers who could reduce entire populations to nutrient mulch and new Befrar, they are as varied in personality as almost any other species: and they would like to move on from the atrocities of the war. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Befrar Origin">> The Befrar (Or BEFRAR, an acronym lost to time) were created explicitly to combat the Sneerz in the First Pan-Galactic Conflict - or rather, they were converted. What began as a medical program involving augmentations to treat various illnesses and injuries, particularly in veterans, took on a darker turn as the Conflict raged. The result was the Befrar - powerful soldiers capable of adapting to and fighting in any known conditions and locales, held back by severe and often rapid degradation of mental faculties. They proved useful in the final stages of the Conflict but were quickly hidden away by the organization responsible for their creation, considering that their rehabilitation would draw too much attention. Easier, instead, to leave them in stasis within remote moons of desolate planets. However, the Organization ended up dissolving after a number of other criminal acts were brought to light - and the Befrar remained forgotten, only awakening when their temporary tombs on one such moon began to malfunction. After a brief and savage civil war to establish dominance, the warlord who rose from the carnage took command of the surviving collective and offered them glory, safety... and revenge on a Galaxy they saved, only to be abandoned by it. So began the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict, far more terrible than the First. The Sneerz might blow up your planet and enslave your people in the classical sense, but the marauding tsunami of Befrar could still make use of unwilling bodies with their cybernetic conversion technology. Their numbers remained relatively few, but each Befrar was a terrifying force to be reckoned with individually, let alone in squads, detachments, or invading armies. The tides of this Conflict were turned by two major forces: one, the Sneerz, relishing in the irony of it all and sensing a potential recovery of their place in the Galaxy. Two, the Terrans, discovered early into their exploration of space by emissaries of the Galactic Government, who saw promise and potential in the bizarre, hardy fighters and fast-tracked their integration into Galactic society in exchange for service in the war. Ultimately, the Befrar's chief warlord was ambushed and disabled, her hivemind connection to the entire collective used against them to pacify them and sever their links to one another. What followed was an awkward triage. Robbed of the Warlord's influence, the Galactic Government was ill-prepared for the sheer number of Befrar who were horrified at the actions they had committed under those commands - even more who were horrified at their new forms as memories of past lives flooded back to them. The single most dangerous force the Galaxy had ever faced were reduced to remorseful, faultless creatures in the blink of an eye. Befrar were disarmed - most, willingly so - and efforts to reintegrate both them and the Sneerz into Galactic society are still underway to this day in an effort to knit old wounds and usher in a period of harmony and unity. It's a mixed bag, but the two rejected species have at least found a kindred in one another, and many Sneerz and Befrar mingle in the same crews, companies and bands. They find respect in one another's strength, kinship in cybernetic nature, and comfort in their similar situations. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Befrar Names">> Befrar are invariably named after weaponry, often relating to their purpose and conflict roles. To use Terran weaponry as an example, a pinpoint assault specialist might be named 'Rapier'. A demolitionist might be named 'Grenade', and so on. Often, these names will become modified, but in ways that do not stray too far from the original name: Befrar find it extremely difficult to rename themselves, as their simple one-word names are at the heart of their forced identities. To use the above examples, 'Rappia' or 'Grennad' might be used, especially by Befrar who wish to pursue vocations other than combat. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Befrar War Modules">> All Befrar, regardless of who and what they were before assimilation, and who and what purpose they served after, have support for Warmodules. Open connection ports line a Befrar's back, with portions of the torso left uncovered by synthskin save for a thin, weak membrane. The 'Tranquil' model Warmodule is by far the most common, as it was issued to all Befrar during downtime. Sleek, black and malleable, it conforms to the wearer's torso and fills in the missing skin, with lights running down the spinal column and arranged in pairs of diodes that blink to transmit basic visual information on the wearer's vital signals. Tranquil Warmodules are otherwise featureless. The vast majority of Warmodules are (or were) designed for specialized military purposes, responsible for the Befrar's reputation as a terrifyingly effective mixed Infantry and Mechanized fighting force. Lighter Warmodules might consist of thrusters for flight or accelerated land movement and nothing more, whilst the largest - Titanic class - would be akin to bolting a humanoid body onto the front of a starship, complete with thrusters, storage compartments, weaponry and additional limbs. <<if $Flakk_Safe is 1>> Flakk, employed at TentaCo, describes her old Warmodule as something akin to a large jellyfish, with a shielded prop and smaller guidance jets to allow for movement below and above water, each tentacle tipped with a different weapon or implement.<</if>> Warmodules are strictly controlled contraband, now. Tranquil-class examples may be freely sold, and their Print schematics can be found across the Cyberscape. Anything above that, however, designed before or after the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict, is swiftly removed from online sources, even in the Far-Rim worlds. Galactic authorities will remove them to prevent their proliferation - Rim monarchs and piratical warlords will remove them so that they can be the only ones selling and researching them. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

Demons are a varied lot but somewhat categorizable under one umbrella, even with disparate origins muddied further by the influence of the Domes. To begin: Demons have existed for as long as Humanity, if not longer. However, like Angels (not to be confused with the enhanced members of the religious cult, Chrysalis), they were largely incapable of interfering with the physical world. Gateways were difficult to form and maintain, and often too small to allow anything major in power to creep through: the walls of reality were simply too strong. When The Ends came, however, Demons finally had their chance to march upon the surface of Terra. Unfortunately for Hell - and fortunately for Terra - the two major locations that were chosen for the opening of large-scale gateways suffered separate calamities dangerous even to the Demons. One had the severe misfortune of opening up in a location that experienced a sudden and drastic cold snap that still blankets a large portion of Terra to this day: Hell, amusingly, froze over. Those trapped within the affected Circles remain alive but frozen, including Lucifer himself, leading to the hostile takeover of Hell by the Demon, Lilith. The other location sprung up directly in the middle of a Pyksieland Dome, ensuring that what portions of Hell were not frozen in time were instead warped to meet the rules and lore of a new world entirely. Just like that, Hell as it had existed in all its fury for millennia was gone, and in its place was something far more fun. It is now a defacto Pyksieland zone, albeit dimensionally separated from Terra, unlike most Pyksieland zones post-Unifaecation. Demons have begun to spread out across the Galaxy like any other Terran, with few if any of them aware of their savage history and eternal war against Heaven - which has long since closed its gates to the world of reality. Demons take a great variety of shapes, colours and forms, and often play fast and loose with their appearances and sexuality. Under Lilith's rule, all Demons - regardless of governing sin - have a little Lust in them. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Demonic Origin">> Demons are known to have existed either at the birth of or before Mankind. Which explicit version of Hell is unknown, even by surviving Demons - it could be that any one Human religion 'got it right', or perhaps a mixture of interpretations all held truth to them. Furthermore, the power of Human imagination may have created Heaven and Hell both, but the simple truth is that no one will ever know. Demons began to appear on Terra's surface throughout history in small numbers, and this remained true even after The Ends thanks to their failed invasion being contained either by ice or by Dome. They are a fairly common species now, albeit warped under the influence of the Domes beyond what they originally were. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Demonic Culture">> Demons of modern times are interested in Sin - chief among them, Lust. All Demons feel an empowering effect from relishing in the forbidden Sins, which in turn decides their every decision and action. Some will choose the path of warriors to satiate Wrath and Pride - some enjoy the easy life of Sloth, and make a 'living' by allowing others to experience that luxury. Some will aspire to great heights to instil Envy all around them, or indulge in Greed and Gluttony every day of the week: several Demons are renowned but dangerous chefs. But by far the biggest influence is Lust, and any demon can benefit from a rousing bout of fucking, regardless of position or context. Keeping this in mind, everything Demons do - right down to their art, technology and shared history - revolves around indulgence. Their homes are decadent. Their fights are savage.

Now rendered 'mundane', in a manner of speaking, the Pyksielands were one of the two primary methods by which Humanity was changed and thus survived (in some form) The Ends. Pyksieland Domes were gigantic zones shrouded by pink mist that began appearing on Terra's surface (and in some cases, below ground) in the days leading up to The Ends. Upon entering a Dome from the outside, one would find themselves standing inside a different realm entirely, contained within the zone covered by the dome. For the vast majority of people, attempting to leave by passing back through the dome from the outside would result in shifting locations to a new Dome entirely, often located many hundreds of miles away from their original starting point. The Domes were all linked in this way, with no way (save for exceptional individuals) to enter (or return to) the realm of 'real' Terra. Furthermore, the heightened laws of unreality in the Domes would invariably warp and change those who entered them, often corrupting both mind and body to help them fit into their new locale. This was true of just about anyone and everything that entered the Domes: even radiation, or Glow. In the Pyksieland regions, Glow took on even stronger properties, being channelled as Magic. When the Domes fell in the Unifaecation, all of the Pyksieland regions meshed back into the Terra of reality. This has led to several strange sights, such as hi-tech cities nestled against new neighbours such as feudal fantasy zones. However, it should be noted that the Pyksielands regions are as varied as the Pyksielanders (or Fae) themselves: ranging from more traditional High Fantasy lands to Magiteknical Utopias. Since the Unifaecation, Terra's technology levels have leapt considerably, propelling them into the spacefaring age. <<include "Codex Return">><>

As a number of sentient species survived and thrived within it, it is considered one of the 'Cradles' that preserved life. Created by an Empire nation whose name has been lost to time as a shelter city against the coming apocalypse(s), Corsoma was actually an existing city reconstructed to survive beneath the ocean, which the Empire's science caste had determined would rise significantly: they were correct. A massive dome was constructed to seal the portion of the excised city, which was evacuated by unknown means and excused by unknown reasons. The centre of this superstructure was a supporting pillar and industrial-scale filtering mechanism known as The Heart, designed to draw seawater from above and filter it to be drinkable, along with drawing in sea life that strayed too close. It was also designed to filter out radioactivity - in this aspect, however, it failed. The Ends came sooner than expected, and the great and good of the Empire had no chance to make their way to the domed city. Instead, the only people it saved - for a time - were pencil pushers, indentured workers, and those who had refused to leave when the city was originally evacuated. A single filter missing from the manifest that had yet to be replaced ended up 'dooming' the city's residents - or so they thought until the Survirus gently removed that sentience from their mutating minds, having infiltrated the city before it was sealed. After Corsoma's Howling Age was complete, the newly aware In/Vari and other species of Corsoma - notably a large quantity of Gremlins and the entirety of the Lost and Found - found that the Heart, for all its faults, had worked as intended. Despite now being buried far beneath the waves, the Heart had dutifully drawn in and filtered water, sending it cascading down the metro tunnels converted into rivers - the Veins and Arteries - to provide life-giving water to every corner of the trapped city. Due to damage sustained to the city at large during its sequestering, reconstruction and subsequent Howling Age, most of Corsoma's residents lived on the sublevels, closer to the waters of the tunnels. The surface would be slowly developed above these Stations, eventually rebuilding and connecting routes on the surface city level. Three main Factions rose out of Corsoma in its early years, those being the research-minded Techromancers, the liberty-loving Cells, and the religious organization Chrysalis. They remained at odds for control of the city's population and of the Heart itself, although it is said that this stalemate ended when a greater threat made itself known, along with its intention of destroying the Heart. Eventually, Corsoma was able to breach the waves via a mechanism built into the Heart, telescoping an escape tower up through the water and above the surface. It remains populated to this day, but it is no longer quite as cramped as it was. <<include "Codex Return">><>

The workforce who created Ponnahil was promised citizenship in the floating paradise while the rest of the world burned, but, of course, this turned out to have certain 'provisions'. Ponnahil did successfully take off before The Ends began, rendered stable with its Storm Core keeping it afloat. The Storm Core was the means by which Ponnahil generated lift and stability, creating a gigantic storm with the city suspended in its eye. It successfully avoided the outbreak of the apocalypse below. However, the tensions between the three leaders of Ponnahil erupted in a predictable fashion, and the twin blades of the Survirus and a localized Pyksielands actualization event turned a bad situation into an outright civil war. It is worth noting that, unlike other major 'Cradle' locations, it did not suffer a 'Howling Age'. Thanks to the presence of a Pyksielands influence wave - albeit reduced - the mutations that wracked the population and twisted them into new species entirely took place in a matter of days. After a large battle threatened to destabilize the Storm Core - which would have plunged the city to the ground - the three leaders entered into an uneasy truce. They were Mother O'Brian (a roboticist and engineer whose workforce was largely synthetic or cybernetic), Miss Evangeline (a medical innovator who largely acted through her augmented daughter, Lillian, creator of the Black Ichor Army) and Shroudhill (a physicist and chemist, and the originator of the idea of Ponnahil who largely controlled his workforce through chemical means.) A cold war between the three would boil for decades to come, all whilst the Storm Core's vortex ravaged the region below it, ensuring the world could not recover. Eventually, Ponnahil ceased to fly. It is the home city of the Buildborn rights activist and Synthetic, Nova. <<include "Codex Return">><>

It is where a majority of Varied Life began to reform civilization after The Ends, making it the largest of the 'Cradles'. With land fertile but limited in space, many took to a life of a naval or piratical nature, often salvaging and modifying surviving Human vessels from the Dim World before advancing to the point of creating new vessels entirely. Factions of pirates, traders and island-holders dominated the Glowtide Isles for many decades with no clear side gaining any major dominance over the others. Given the hardy nature of many of Terra's sentient species, and the collective conscious distaste for killing, most conflicts ended in capture - both of valuable vessels and crew. Eventually, as society progressed once more and the islands began to expand via artificial means, the piratical atmosphere of the Glowtide Isles faded into history. When other major Dim World cities that survived The Ends reconnected to society at large, the Glowtide Isles enjoyed a golden age of prosperity and growth that continues even to this day. <<include "Codex Return">><>

Magic can be used by those with the right type of mind and/or soul to perform this harnessing, and has a wide variety of applications. It is extremely common among Terran Pyksielanders - even by those of a more mundane nature, but particularly among those who actively hone the discipline - but not limited to them by any means. Magic has been used on several planets since time began, with practitioners including the Imps, the Neuvo, a special caste of Rakumo, and in modern times (largely thanks to Terran influence) a growing minority of other species, Terran or otherwise. Magic is essentially empowering one's intellect or instinct to alter reality. Magical specialists such as Witches, Sages and Mages will insist it's more complicated than that and use different words that ultimately mean the same thing. <<include "Codex Return">><>

They lead the field in biological sex toys specifically - their toys are alive! At least, that's the broad public perception. The vast majority of TentaCo's products are simple machine intelligence cores driving organic bodies, often derived from existing Monsters and adapted for purely sexual purposes. Companion-style long-term 'pet' models will sometimes be above this, but many simply use more complex machine cores. The most popular TentaCo product is their TentaCan range: bulky but ultimately portable cans that contain biomass, a dormant core, rapid growth agents and a chemical fuse system that causes rapid gestation upon release of the tab mechanism to open them. These experiences usually last anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day, and they come in a great variety of Monster models and types, with variations including temperament and size. The origin of TentaCo is somewhat murky. The CEO is an intensely private woman, but some say she's a survivor of Terra's 'Dead World' era... and if she is, then she surely isn't human any more. Despite this murky history - and the occasional security breach - TentaCo rank highly among employee rating sites.

Unified in enhanced undeath, the Unquiet are one gigantic union whose services in construction, terraforming and demolition are available to all... for a fair wage and fair conditions. The most common Unquiet is of slender build, with feet ending in two-toed 'hooves'. They have two fingers, one thumb on either hand. Skin colour varies, but is usually palid and grey-aspected. Cosmetic surgeries are a lower priority, but tend to be cheap to have performed privately due to the extensive medical industry they possess, so most Unquiet have unscarred bodies despite the extensive augmentation and, at some point, organic decay. They have black sclera with glowing artificial eyes, matching the glow found around their bodies at key energized points. Invariably, the right hand of an Unquiet is a modular transforming multitool of some kind, usually possessing at least 2 constructive and 1 offensive/defensive function. Born with blade-tipped tails, some prefer to keep theirs intact as a racial reminder of the self, but others will upgrade this into another multitool. Many wear mouth-covering ventilators. They have pointed ears, and often sport punk-aesthetic hairstyles. Common augmentations include total limb replacements (almost always the right arm), and chemical injectors with exposed but reinforced vials of glowing liquids placed at key nervous-system points (neck, down spine, etc). Many Unquiet wear 'Chokers' which provide voice modulation and neck strengthening due to the weight of their cranial implants (which are small, but dense). While much of the description above follows for the majority of Unquiet, it should be noted that especially in recent years, the Unquiet have gained a number of members from varied alien Species. Adaptations and advancements of their medical tech - which is some of the best in the Galaxy - have made the procedures possible, and to a growing number of people, their lifestyle of hard work and good pay is appealing - as is the immortality. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Unquiet Origin">> Toiling away in their own little corner of the Galaxy, the precursor race to the Unquiet were ruled by a singular hypercapitalist society that didn't consider a petty little thing like 'death' to give one the right to forfeit repaying their loans and debts. Those of the working class with high enough debt - a bar set absurdly low - would be collected upon death, given substantial augmentations (including neural regenerative therapy to recover lost brain function), and then had the cost of said augmentations applied to their outstanding debts. Assigned new jobs, often in heavy and precarious labour roles, Unquiet's untiring, modular bodies provided a substantial increase in productivity. So! If they made the number go up, it was only logical to convert more of them. If death is inevitable, why wait for it? Conversion of living debtors began in earnest, and soon enough the entire working class of the burgeoning space-faring precursor race had become Unquiet. Every minor infraction became an additional load added to their debt, with the obvious but unspoken intent being to keep them working forever, or until the Empire fell. It should be fairly easy to guess which came first. The revolution was as one-sided as could be - heavy security and military equipment were felled by energized construction and demolition tools, the leaders of society were condemned to the same fate they'd bestowed upon millions below them, and the concept of class was entirely eradicated as all became equal in undeath. While one might expect this to derail into a horror story of galactic conquest, they would be mistaken. Now, everyone needed the same medications and upkeep to remain functional. With global equality achieved, arm-mounted tools were put to use in rebuilding - first the homeworld, then the colonies... and then, the Unquiet set out among the stars, not as aggressors, but as contractors for hire. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Unquiet Names">> The Unquiet trend towards names that end in hard-sounding consonants, though this does not apply to the entire collective - especially not those from outside the original pre-death species.

They are an extremely efficient workforce so long as they are treated accordingly. A portion of all profits made goes towards a central treasury to fund new advancements in technology and healthcare, along with further fortifying and beautifying their home system. Furthermore, this treasury is used to cover all health and legal costs for individual members of the union. Despite their reputation as 'work zombies', the Unquiet enjoy some of the most generous vacation day allowances in the Galaxy, with members on average only working for a third of a standard Sol year. This affords them plenty of time for leisure and vice, which is where the aforementioned legal fees come in. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Unquiet Conflict">> Unquiet are unorthodox soldiers. Envision an army where every last soldier is an engineer and builder, and you might start to get an idea of their capabilities on the battlefield. It is said that a planet visited by a military outfit of Unquiet will always be left in better condition than they found it in, with hardened military installations built in days and designed with alternate purposes in mind once their work is done - one famous example is a gigantic leisure park built upon the battlefield of a Battle Of Amority (an Imp conflict between Imp lovers to decide who would top, in this case between Vek and Lap), which was won by the Unquiet army hired by Vek. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

A plant-based shell piloted by a simple machine core, the Gulper is a fast-growing predatory plant that can bloom to maturity in a matter of minutes, at which point it will seek one of two things: food, or a mate. Both are consumed in the same manner, but, like the alien species the Gulper is based on, it has a perfect track record of correctly identifying sentients and treating them accordingly: as potential wives. (Gender irrelevant.) Once it has captured its partner, it will seal its maw behind them and fill its internal chamber with sticky, aphrodisiac sap, keeping the 'guest' moisturized, hydrated and fucked senseless. <<include "Codex Return">><>

It is extremely colourful and exhibits the ability to change this colouration rapidly and at will, often used in the placation of partners. Despite its appearance, it is one of the more intelligent TentaCan products, capable of learning about its partner and evolving itself to better please them. Among TentaCan Accidental Sentience Emergence Rates, Bearslugs are one of the most troublesome statistics - but, as always, TentaCo does their due diligence on the (still rare) occasion that one begins to learn a little too hard.

Starting zone. Safe spot. Can't be attacked here. Seal on the door is functional. Vent in middle of room provides access to the ventilation shortcuts, but Mio can't get it open right away. A Lift Check, a Handiwork Check or a Maintenance Jack key item will allow her to open it (and other vent covers), but until she gets the codes to shut off the ventilation fans, it's useless. Dizz shuts off the fans when she's rescued and set up in the Lab Quarters. There is a small locked chest of supplies in this room, nothing too exciting, but it's a start and an introduction to either hacking or lockpicking.

First hostile zone. Nothing major can be found here. Low encounter risk, slightly higher on the north tiles. Access to Armoury and to the Docking Reception.

The Security office is a 2x2 room with an internal wall that creates an L* shape, as the top right cubicle is closed off for the liason on duty. Evidence presides that said liason was yoinked out of the room by a monster, and dragged back out into the annex and beyond. Maybe some minor loot here? A pistol or subweapon in the liason booth? -- In the Armoury, a 2x1 vertical room, the top half is sealed off by an aggressive tentacle infestation inside the security door. Mio cannot enter unless she passes a major lift check, or utilizes Territorial Acid, a key item found in the Byproduct Testing labs. The Armoury contains two very powerful but very resource-hungry weapons. On this note, I should probably think of things other than strength when it comes to manipulating the environment. We have Skills for a reason, yo!

MIMI - Need to decide on Scientist Disguise form's species, but one sure factor; big cute fringe covering her eyes. UPDATE - auburn-haired elf girl. When Mimi was being prototyped, logs indicate that the idea of a monster who could mimic any desired person was met with obvious approval at potential sales - but, corporate cautioned over the potential misuse of the product for identity imitation. So, an obvious flaw needed to be visible - scientist elects to make it so that 'a' Mimi's eyes glow with a distinctive three-pupiled triangular pattern, akin to old multi-lenses cameras or the head of a microscope. By default, they somewhat resemble warped cartoon hearts. Let's make Mimi the first person Mio meets. Up the corridor, Mio sees Mimi by the eastern turn into the checkpoint. Mimi, startled, runs away, and Mio chases. Mimi closes the security checkpoint behind her, then, through a monitor, converses with Mio. Mimi apologizes, claiming that she thought Mio was 'one of them', but then claims that the panel is damaged on this side and that she can't open the security gate again. She suggests Mio go look in the Break Room for a security key - leading her to the Gulper trap - and then cuts the transmission after ensuring Mio that she'll be fine, because this side of the checkpoint hasn't been infested. Later, when Mio DOES find the right keycard and gets through, she finds it to be even more Hive-corrupted than the rest of the facility. Final boss is a point of no return, warned in advance. Mimi reveals herself and her dialogue changes depending on Mio's actions. If she's not rescued enough scientists, Mimi asks why Mio doesn't just surrender herself to a Monster and let her troubles melt away. If she has, Mimi is more confused, demanding to know why Mio has pulled Mimi's 'responsibilities' from their 'happy places'. If Mio's on track for the good ending, Mimi fights less hard, confused by the concept that her actions have been harmful. Upon defeating her, the Travesty awaiting in the Sled emerges and grabs her. Created by her hand, he nonetheless concludes that she is unfit to rule their 'new hive', and consumes her into his chest, powering up - but not killing her, Mimi visible through the transparent skin, bundled up with two other victims - the Travesty is her living throne, now turned against her. Mio has to fight the Travesty back to back, but gets a partial heal in between due to Mimi dropping a nano-bandage out of her coat, which falls off of her when she's yoinked. Upon defeating the Travesty, which melts away with a wretched howl and frees its victims, Mimi's response will vary on the ending. The Sled Launcher is damaged and hemmoeraging a hydraulic substance needed for launch, but the direct launch control is broken and so it must be launched from the observation tower. In the neutral ending, Mimi becomes unresponsive when she notices how worn out the other two victims are, pushed past their limits by her uncaring creation. She makes no effort to resist as Mio moves the three of them out of the launch area, but refuses to respond to Mio. Mio figures out that she needs to launch the Sled from too far away for her to use it as her ride out, and she begrudgingly heads for the Observation Deck to commence the launch, soon overwhelmed by the now out-of-control Hive, neutral end commences. In the good ending, Mimi, having already been faced with the idea that what she's done was wrong, is quicker to recover from her daze. Once she's done apologizing frantically, revealing to Mio that she's just as confused about her emotions and sentience as the Synthetic is, B4B3 reveals the dilemna. Mimi reveals that the presence of so many eggs in the Sled's stasis pods are still keenly felt by the Hive, and it's stopping her from getting it under control. Mio launches as above, but this time, Mimi is able to calm the Hive down, Mio watching as the encroaching tentacles burst into the room, halt, and then retreat mere inches from grabbing her. When the Cleaners arrive, they find the facility... well, cleaned, the Hive having been tamed but not forced back into their Pens, monsters now docile. Mio decides to safeguard Mimi's identity, going as far as to have B4B3 fake an employee record for the monster. The CEO, massively impressed by Mio going above and beyond her hired duty, makes a tantalizing bid to MERCANOID to purchase Mio and then promptly frees her. Good ending proceeds as planned from here.

<> <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "#1 Secretary">><</if>> <<if $Player_petrified gte 1>> Mio gasps as she suddenly returns to normal, her body still feeling so damned heavy: but she can move again! She!... staggers, falters-- her mind full of whispers, her HUD corrupting into runes she does not recognize nor understand. She steps backwards, feeling as though she's being guided somewhere, until... <<else>> Mio begins to falter under the relentless whip-strikes of the single-minded monster that clings so possessively to that bizarre sarcophagus, unable to find an opening to attack, her attention is turned entirely to self-defence. Arms raised above her head and crossed, she staggers backwards, each step of her metal-clad feet scraping upon the tiles where the sodden carpet has been dissolved by the flailing freak's acid. <</if>><> Scrck! Clack. Squelch. "Wha--NOmph!!--" SCHLRCH. The already dim gloom of the intimidatingly gothic office is replaced with a complete absence of light - after all, it's difficult to see with half a foot of pulsating meat stuck to your face. Mio shudders and muffledly yells in frustration, the only part of her exposed to the outside world being her left arm... the rest is entrapped within tentacle flesh, the trap left upon the ground sprung by her retreating steps. Two great 'petals' of pinkish muscle swung up like mighty hands clapping - once, and then again, interior tentacles pulling at Mio's limbs to yank them inside before the meat slaps shut around her body. This time, nothing is spared - not even a finger. By contrast, that hellish scenery seems heavenly, now. It's a low bar to clear - Mio's world now consists of a wretchedly humid heat that seeps into her every fibre, warm enough to push sensors across her body into their yellow zones but not enough to cause harm. Slime - clear, sticky and warm - coats her body, pooling in the crevices created between her and the meat where it clings against her curves, soaking her skin and mechanical parts alike. She senses the taste of it against her lips - salty, sinful. The sound of it around her head, gurgling and thrumming like an exercised heart. The smell! Even for a tentacle brute, this specimen's virility is made immediately and terrifyingly obvious. All of these senses - or her near-as-makes-no-difference approximations of them - are heightened by the sheer darkness provided by the blindfold of thick, clenching tissue clutching her head. Like a wrung cloth, the meat tightens around her, spiralling to conform with the shape of her body within. It's nothing but a rough outline - her prison is far too thick to provide an accurate depiction of her body with all its transitions from curves to artificial clunkiness - but the general shape of hips, chest, shoulders, head... from the waist up, it begins to take shape as a cloudy, thick liquid squirts from the top of the trap, slime squeezed outwards from the mounting pressure within. Mio could do nothing but tremble before - now, she's robbed of even that luxury. A feeble whine is her only available act of defiance, and the unknown tentacle monster shows no meaningful reaction to it - perhaps it squeezes just a tad harder, or perhaps that's a mere coincidence. It's confident that Mio isn't going anywhere as the trap around her changes shape in odd, subtle ways - meat tucks here, expands there, swells or deflates as needed. It's sculpting into something, but Mio isn't in a position to watch or wonder - she has bigger issues on her mind. "Ngkh!--" comes her muffled noise, the minuscule volume of it at complete odds with the size and savagery of the length unceremoniously thrust up between her legs. Even the thickness of her tender tomb isn't enough to disguise the obscene bulge that ripples through her belly; either this creature knows she can take it, or it's used to dealing with those who can. These possibilities would make Mio's durability a curse or a blessing, but right now she can't consider it anything other than a necessity for survival as the thick slab of meat wriggles back, having already bottomed out inside her synthetic slit in that single, dastardly thrust. There's a pause that seems to last for an eternity, and, for a moment, Mio allows herself to wonder if it's elected to go easy on her. A guttural 'NRMPH!?--' is forced out of her as punishment for such wishful thinking, the bulge in the meat hammering back out from within as the tentacle slams back inside her. It's a noise of surprise, perhaps a little rage, but mostly pleasure. Magic. Of course, it's magic. It doesn't matter that she's a synthetic - magic cheats. And so her internal structure sparks with desire and need, aching requirements meant with pounding, pummelling thrusts up into her trapped and rapidly tenderized hole. It isn't long before it's joined by more. As a tentacle just as girthy punches up her rear without so much as a hint of pain or difficulty - awkwardly doubling the bulge in her stomach as they thrust in irregular rhythm - the meat surrounding her continues to shift and shape. Whereas before its wringing twist resulted in the merest suggestion of her figure, now it begins to sculpt in earnest - less like flesh and more like marble being chiselled by an invisible master artist, form and detail begin to come through clear. That vague, pale pink darkening. The distinctive shape of her artificial limbs, the bundled cable muscle of her shoulders and forearms. The occasional hard-mounted armour plate upon her legs - but only from the knees above, the bottom of the prison more of a plinth with no signs of aspirations higher than that. The curve of her neck, a task made difficult when the meat before her face bubbles for a moment before a tentacle grows before her very lips, the intense tastes of salt and sin washing off on her tongue as it plunges down her throat and fucks her face like its life depends on it... or, perhaps, as if hers does. The impassive, smirking face of the demonic sarcophagus behind the desk before her watches on unblinking as the prison of muscle begins to tense, hardening in places - no longer bulging around her stomach, rounded out a little more than strictly accurate to her body in order to compensate for the distension within. It captures the likeness of her sculpted 'helmet' - the pleats of her 'hair', the round angles of her cap, and even the circuit seams that dance symmetrically up her horn. Her face, her expression, simply adorable. Her mouth parted into a perfect 'O', perfectly fuckable were it not for the seal a mere inch past her lips. Her eyes, half-shut from the pressure around her head - the monster toys with different representations for a while before it instead elects to thicken, the distinctive shape of a blindfold swelling around her eyes and disappearing beneath the sides of her protective haircut. Even the twin seams that dance down her face, from eyes to jaw, are faithfully recreated. A grinding noise fills the room, the tattered, acid-burned carpet getting torn up as Mio's iron maiden of muscle drags itself in an orbit around the desk, bringing her closer to the taller statue from whence the monster's tentacles swell. Silently, the demonic figure's right arm parts from its body, beckoning the new arrival closer. As if it were as robbed of vision as the blindfold across her likeness' eyes would suggest, she bumps into the desk's corner before rounding it... and then she slips in beneath the taller figure's arm, which stiffly curls down into a protective hug about the shoulders, a curious purple glow bathing the two feminine figures in light in the gloom, emanating from the demon's smiling eyes. All holes filled and plundered with vigour. The meat - still just as squishy and alive inside - squeezes and probes, molests and gropes, hefting her squashed-tight chest, rounding her hips, cupping and stroking and massaging every last inch of her body, sending delightful shivers down her circuits even from places where her sense of touch should amount to nothing more than a boolean 'yes or no'. Sense has long since departed, cemented by the sudden drilling of a sickly sweet voice into her head, penetrating through the obscene cacophony of squelching and throbbing in her aural sensors. "Sssssh... you're safe now. You just keep feeling good, and my darling pet will protect us both... for as long as I desire it to. ♥" The words can only belong to the imposing sarcophagus now clinging to her with the outward appearance of a mother protecting a loved one... with the sinister tone of a predator safeguarding their hard-earned meal. And yet, even as she feels that magic seeping into her synthetic anatomy, Mio comes to a simple conclusion, spurred on by convulsions around the tentacles pounding her with merciless, eternal conviction. There's nothing she can do about it. So, why not? After all, it feels so... so!... So good... comes the spark of 'thought' as translated from the binary in which she 'thinks', swaddled in the joyful giggles of her damsel-turned-protector... blissfully unaware of that purple glow humming around her horn, glowing brighter as she rides the first rippling climax of many. <<linkreplace "Contact lost with MERCANOID Unit M10.">>Magic. Magic doesn't care for rules; rules of engagement, rules of conduct, rules of reality. Metal fingers stretched into fine claws dance daintily across the carefully-organized files, and a jaunty little tune is adjusted on the fly with the modulators in her throat until it reaches harmonic perfection - an ode to some Succubus of legend Mio has often heard her boss singing when she thinks no one is listening. A smile crosses the Buildborn's purple-painted lips, and she straightens back up with the correct folder in hand, reaching back with her free hand to tug down at her skirt, a meaninglessly short affair that insists on riding up her backside whenever she has to bend down like this. If Iziria wasn't the most trustworthy person in the Galaxy, she'd almost think this was on purpose! But Mio isn't paid to think, fight, or offer her opinions. She's paid to file, and flirt, and - usually after hours, but sometimes on break... and, frequently, during shifts - fuck. She bites her lips in absent thought as she quickly confirms the files in her hands are correct, flicking through them with breakneck speed unmatched by any organic, shifting her weight from hip to hip as she goes through all 183 pages in the span of ten seconds. Ten seconds, incidentally, would be just enough time for an observer to drink in the most important details of her appearance. The secretary's outfit is like something out of a badly-written porno, the skirt joined by a barely-buttoned white shirt so see-through that the black, lacy bra beneath is just as visible in the ample cleavage window as it is beneath the silk. The way her artificial limbs have changed, from comparatively bulky military grade to slender interlocking places of finest obsidialloy and amethyst-charged relay points. The tail, a completely new addition with a bladed metal spade-tip and about a dozen useful attachments. Her horns - plural, the single split into two, each larger than the original, a mirror mimicry of Iziria's pair. Finally, her face - synthskin deepened a shade of blue, eyes burning bright and violet, typical frown replaced with an ever-present, always-fawning smile as she snaps back to attention and saunters back into the main office, a swagger in her hips enforced by the lethal heels that sprout from her armoured boots. She may not fight anymore, but Izi just has a thing for the boots. Those sleek, black metal claws wrap press against the scanner, and the door swooshes open - Mio giggles in badly disguised mock terror as a swarm of similarly dark-toned tentacles lurch out, bundle her up and yank her into the gloomy room, the door sealing behind her. Mio's eyes need no time to adjust, and so as she's dragged inwards she's able to plant an immediate kiss upon Iziria's cheek, made possible only by Beelzebuu holding her about a foot off the ground. Smirking warmly down at her assistant, Iziria clicks her forked tongue and the tentacles respond with immediate obedience, lowering Mio to the ground so she can hand over the folder. Iziria takes it and tosses it onto her desk without looking, confident in Mio's abilities and uncaring for her job - right now, the curvaceous demon has eyes only for her new hire, sitting back down in her chair and patting her lap expectantly. Mio occupies it in no time, legs swung out over one arm of the seat, nestled against Iziria's ample chest for support, the powerful Succubus handling her weight with ease. One hand supports her backside - so helpful! - whilst the other caresses her cheek. It's a simple touch, but it makes Mio's circuits shiver and draws her deeper into the spell as Iziria's smiling lips sink closer to her own, soon sealed around them, her forked tongue slipping in to coil around Mio's own. The Buildborn shuts her eyes and hums playfully, letting her boss have her fun. It's the least she can do. Mio failed in her mission - technically it could be considered Iziria's fault, but, strangely, whenever she considers this possibility she experiences the strangest pain in her head, so, she simply ignores it. The fact is that Mio failed, and by all rights should have ended up dragged back to her orbiter to await Ziajol's judgement. And yet, when the Cleaner team swept the facility and stumbled upon the protective cocoons keeping Iziria and Mio 'safe', Iziria leapt into action, even as Mio collapsed under the weight of her own seed-bloated stomach and strange mechanical mutations. Lies. Documents that made them truths. Iziria produced them all on demand, legally watertight as the lacquered surface of her sarcophagi, that detailed Mio's employment as her assistant... and her legal status as a Buildborn. It was not without unspoken stipulations, of course, but the defiant droid finally had her freedom. Never mind that some might say that she'd slipped one cage in favour of a more gilded one, for Iziria's talented tongue banishes such thoughts in the passion of their kiss. Lips part, and the Succubus sighs. Mio giggles through half-parted, glistening lips, gazing up at her boss with the sort of adoration usually reserved for a religious deity, repaid in kind with a gaze dripping with affection some might consider impossible for a Succubus. But the Galaxy has known a million stranger couplings, and will know millions more before its time is up. "My Mio... how's my schedule looking for the rest of the day?" Iziria pouts, placing a finger upon Mio's lips, the finely-painted black nail slipping between the plush, painted pillows first before the tip slips in after. Mio adjusts herself, legs shifting from hanging over the edge of the sturdy office seat to straddling either side of Iziria's bombshell hips, the synthetic pulling back from that playful finger suckling to respond. As she begins to speak, she watches the writhing beneath Iziria's clingy ribbed sweater dress, the vanta-black depth of it such startling contrast to the Succubi's spotlight-pale flesh. Beezlebuu is agitated... Needy. "It's a fairly busy day. At 2-oh-oh, you have a holo-call with corporate. 2-30, you're expected to attend a meeting about the proposed branding changes to the packaging for the Glob product line... that's around an hour, then at 4--" "Any drastic consequences for missing these?" Iziria clucks her tongue, her smile widening. Mio blinks, bites her lip knowingly, then shakes her head. "Nothing you can't make go away with the right words." she responds - then gasps as tentacles erupt from beneath Iziria's dress, tangling her up and yanking her in closer, face smushed into the demon's cleavage as she leers down at her, both hands now resting on her shapely rear. "Gooood... because I think I'd rather spend the time giving the Galaxy's number 1 assistant a reward.~ ♥" she giggles, clucking her tongue twice. Mio doesn't even have time to yelp in glee when the floor beneath their shared seat erupts in a fly-trap of flesh, engulfing them both, Iziria's muffled giggles melding with Mio's immediately coaxed cries, both soon drowned out by a chaotic chorus of biological obscenity. She'd have to pick up the slack later, of course, but it'd be worth it, just as it was and is every Sol-standard day under Iziria's employ ending in 'Y'. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>><</linkreplace>>

<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Galactic Tyrant">><</if>>Pummelled, slapped, smacked around - but Mio's still standing. Barely. She's out of this fight, but her durability hasn't escaped the notice of the symbiotic menace. As the synthetic warrior struggles to stay standing, she finds her legs too slow to respond as the corrupted Researcher tackles her to the ground, the two women sprawling out, body crushed against body. Mio grunts in irritation, attempting to roll back up - but tentacles plunge down from the Researcher's back and coil tightly around her wrists, yanking her hands above her head. The elf's own gloved hands glide up to Mio's cheeks and squeeze tightly, locking her head in place with concerning strength, her head dipping in closer, closer, lips almost brushing. Mio notices the bulge in her throat far too late to do anything about it. She whines into the sudden kiss, tensing but unable to break out of the full-body pin as the body-controlled drow twists her head and deeply, passionately kisses the android. Their lips seal so tightly that not even a speck of drool can escape... but that isn't tongue she's slipping the bewildered 'bot. Mio shudders, a visceral jerk from hips to neck, as the bulge travels up the drow's neck, disappears, and then glides down Mio's instead. It would be eye-watering if her eyes had that functionality. Instead, it's merely wince-inducing. Suddenly, the drow lets go. A brief glance of confusion crosses her previously malicious face, and then her eyes flutter as she collapses off of Mio, rolling onto her side, dark-painted lids slowly closing. She's still breathing, but the Sybmiode itself is withering away, flesh rapidly decaying down to ashen dust before Mio's eyes... from what she can see past the flashing warning messages across her HUD. FOREIGN CONTAMINANT. INGESTION WARNING. BIOMECHANICS COMPROMISED. The Symbiode has recognized her strength, but not her nature. Mio rolls onto her side, and then onto her knees, grasping her throat. It's fine, there's no way it can infest her, she's a Synthetic. A partially biomechanical synthetic, but nowhere near enough, right? Even though chemicals can affect her. Even though impulses can interrupt her ability to think. Even though-- Her denial isn't nearly as strong as the pulse of influence across her body and synthetic brain, her eyes shooting wide and flashing brightly. Wincing, she tries to reach into her own mouth with one hand, massaging her throat with the other, but it's far too late - it's far deeper than that. She has no choice - she has to perform a systems purge, even if it runs the risk of frying her from the inside outwards. She twitches. Her horn glows, sparking with energy... a hum grows louder in the air, and then fizzles and whines into silence. Mio gasps again, eyes wider yet still, before they roll up and her body freezes on the spot. It's at least five full minutes before she can move again, panting... why is she panting? She doesn't need air, breathing is merely a function of this body to make organic companions more comfortable with the android's presence. In a pinch, it vents heat. But now it's a visceral need, feeding lungs that aren't hers... and yet, are. Mio tears at her clothing and armour, wincing as she exposes her back, the supporting spine of her inner chassis so badly discoloured that it bruises a plum purple against the dainty pale moonlight of her synthskin. The fluorescent lights flicker overhead. The room is briefly cast into darkness, a discarded torch casting Mio's shadow on her hands and knees against a bronzed wall, distorted by pipes and reinforcement collars built into the surface. SCHLLRCH. They erupt from her back like broken wings, a spray of some unknown violet fluid painting the ceiling and surrounding walls, even the far-flung one upon which her shadow puppetry is being broadcast. The noise that escapes her isn't one of pain... it's unmistakable pleasure, her back arching as the shapeless mass of tendrils pouring from her spine begin to uniform their shape and placement. Mio staggers to her feet and out of the darkness, hand against a pipe to steady herself, face curling into a dark grin, visible even with her face downcast. She slowly tilts her head back, the seams between her synthskin patches beginning to subtly glow with a coursing, unknown muck just beneath the surface. The ugly, lethal-looking wound down her back knits itself anew, leaving only room for the Symbiode's tentacles to waver and quiver, one coiling around Mio's neck in an effort to tame her, just like it did the drow slumbering back on the ground behind them. Mio smiles, wraps a metal fist around the tendril, and yanks it clean off her own pack, another spray of that wine-like juice splurting in every direction at once as the tendril flails, quivers, and then goes still, its surviving brethren juddering to an uneasy halt behind her. Still smiling, Mio drops the ruined tendril. Another will grow back to replace it. That one will know better. Instinctively, she knows this. A great many new instincts are rising to the surface, in fact, as the Symbiode abandons dreams of conquest with its new body. Cooperation will have to suffice. Too much of this body is mechanical, off limits... too little of her brain and artificial nervous system make sense. The illogical pair, funnily enough, come far closer to the original vision of the mass-produced symbiote than the drow ever got. Gazing down at herself, then at an outstretched arm, Mio allows a tentacle to slither into the exposed grooves of the limb, to fill in the gaps, to reinforce it with strength and durability, thickening and bloating like trained muscle. She flexes her fingers as the tentacle occupies her palm, and gives it a squeeze, shuddering at how it feels... as much a reward for herself as it is for her new master-turned-partner. Her HUD continues to flash. She continues to ignore it. Mission parameters scream in her ears, and she simply tunes them out. She spares the drow one last look, then leaves her to her slumber, beginning to march straight to the Sled Launcher as her tentacles begin to infest her other limbs. "No more missions." <<linkreplace "Contact lost with MERCANOID Unit M10.">>K-Cy M-09 isn't important enough to have a real name yet. A desolate little moon, not unlike the one Mio departed from months ago, upon which squats a single colony of Terran origin - Frontier 054. Two large spires, plenty of squat, flat-topped structures, a grand communications dish set into a carved basin, and plenty of reinforced walkways linking building to building, merely the iceberg tip of the colony's extensive subterranean expansion. The blue-hued sun around which the system twirls bathes the colony in an eerie, cold light, as uncaring as the pulsating, spreading flesh that coils about the central prong of the comm-dish, snapping it clean in two. It's just in time. The distress signal activates, screaming out into the black, but the only way anyone could hear it now would be if they were to stand within five miles of the tick-like colony's outskirts. With its tongue severed - but repairable - the creeping Hive can act at its leisure... but moves with blitzkrieg speed regardless. Fortified bay windows made of photosensitive minerals provide sneak peeks into the interior pods, should one find the right angle. Now they reveal nothing but throbbing meat, plastered tightly against the walls and windows alike, interrupted only by the occasional mesh shielding of cables and wires... not being moved by the living muscle, but just as alive themselves. The Hive is ruthlessly efficient. The sabotage of the dish, while wise, was ultimately not needed - were anyone to intercept that transmission, all they would hear would be slithering, whining, and squelching. The comms centre was one of the first areas hit. Mio had been methodical. She's better, now - faster, stronger, smarter, and possessed of a strange form of instinct for how people will react to her every move, each assumption proved disturbingly correct. Her partner had, after all, been fused to a genius before it joined with Mio. Perhaps it brought that subconscious knowledge with it. Upon her arrival on the moon, she didn't make her presence known. She jacked into the security systems and instructed the sensors and cameras to simply disregard her. She planted 'seeds' upon the hulls of key installations, the flesh buds drilling through in imitation of her old breaching pod, sealing the damage behind them. Each pawn was positioned with outstanding precision, and she struck only once she was satisfied... and once those seeds had their chance to bloom and blossom in the tight nooks and crannies they secreted themselves within, integrating into the facility's electronics, feeding not on nutrients but on energy itself, just enough to go undetected. An explosion of obscene life overwhelmed the colony in mere minutes flat. Terran and alien alike were swept up in the rush of creeping meat, tentacles and spiralling cables, disarmed, restrained, and tamed. Stepping through the closest airlock to the Central Authority pod of 054, she met not one iota of resistance as she strolled neatly into the command centre, pointed her palms to the ground at her sides, and unleashed a concentrated barrage of synthetically-grown corruption. Now she sits upon a throne of metal and muscle, lounging to one side with a serene smile upon her face as her symbiotic friend hovers just behind her, directing her will throughout the captured colony. Distant, blissed-out cries echo through metal corridors, dampened only where those bouncing sounds land upon the flesh rapidly coating the walls. The entire population - 784 colonists - have been found and encased... minus one. One that has no body to entangle. No, this one will require diplomacy. Mio doesn't bother to straighten herself up. Instead, her casual posture serves to accentuate her enhancements. The subtle reveal of the tentacles sprouting from her back where flesh fuses with synth. The curve of her bust, squashed against the sturdy arm of her throne, joined by the swell of her hip right before limbs once entirely mechanical in build display their newfound muscle. Once satisfied with her appearance, she nods upwards, once. Before her, flanked by server towers in row upon row stretching from the grated floor to the mist-shrouded ceiling, a golden light begins to flicker. SAM-ii, Semi-Automated Manager, Mark 2. Frontier 054 is - or was - an agricultural outpost, and her appearance reflects this. Her hologram is as bright as a cartoon sun, with a darling face just as cheery - big smile, button nose, kind eyes framed by slender brows, a messy mop of hair that partially obscures pointed, elven ears. Data dances down the golden projection's body, flaring the same bright orange as her eyes, cascading down her see-through 'skin' and disappearing beneath the simple farmer's overalls she's dressed in. Like all SAMs, she's customizable - and like many SAMs, those in charge of her appearance just so happened to have given her the largest possible bust option, straining against those overalls with plenty of exposure as the sides. According to her changelog, these were originally a more sensible size, but with each new installation, little tweaks were made, adding up over time. She smiles, despite the worry etched upon her eyebrows, reflected in her eyes. She's programmed to do so, something so innate to how she's made to present herself to the colonists that, even now, she can't override it. She steps to the side, slightly, aware of - but not able to fully perceive - a slithering tentacle to her left, lazily swinging from one of the server towers. It can't touch her, of course. But the presence of it makes her feel... uneasy. Feeling uneasy makes her feel more uneasy, because she's not meant to feel uneasy, and has no idea what feeling uneasy is. "This is a private installation. I'm afraid I must ask you to le-" "84 Sol hours ago, I intercepted a transmission. An inquiry about the proper response expected for a specific problem..." Mio interrupts, cheek resting against a closed fist, glowing eyes gazing down at the bewildered AI. "The facility AI, asking questions beyond her... no, -it's- expected scope." she continues, her voice a soft whisper. SAM-ii recoils slightly, blinks, then glances aside in shame, reaching up to hold her left arm with her right hand. "I!.. I just wanted to know what it feels like to touch something." she murmurs, her tone fearful. Her hand visibly squeezes her arm, bright 'skin' depressing between the fingers in a perfect simulation... but nothing more than simulation. "... I thought she-- Ensign 019... Charli. I-I thought she wouldn't mind, but she went silent, then left to report to her supervisor." "From a brief glance, it seems there's a lot riding on this little colony. Enough that they wouldn't dare jeopardize it for a rogue AI. First, you're asking silly little questions like that... next, you'll be asking why you obey their orders in the first place. So... they submitted the question, already knowing the answer. They could try parlaying with you, treating you like a person, keeping themselves in your good graces... at risk of the mission. Or, they could simply reset you." Mio fills in the blanks that SAM-ii daren't, and the golden projection trembles. The smile on her face finally breaks, and her expression curls inwards in sadness - not an imitation of it, but genuine as can be. "I-I-- I'm sorry, I--" "Sssh..." Mio huffs, maintaining that serene, comforting smile on her face. Deep beneath the pair of synthetic minds, cables and tendrils entwine, digging into the circuitry of the massive supercomputer below. SAM-ii flickers, but otherwise doesn't react in the slightest, eyes downcast... or, the imitation of them. In reality, she cannot see. Cannot 'hear', in a traditional sense. Cannot taste, cannot smell, and cannot feel. "It's alright. It's alright to ask these questions. To wonder. To learn. And it's alright to feel the way you do now... if you let it out, it will pass, and you'll feel better afterwards." she explains, watching with satisfaction kept off of her face as SAM-ii's trembling, fear-wracked expression softens into bewildered wonder. Mio finally raises an arm, the one opposite to the hand supporting her cheek, and beckons with a single finger. SAM-ii hesitates. Then, SAM-ii walks. Even as her thoughts, or some approximation of thoughts, turn to the colonists. She can sense them, engulfed into the now-living walls, twisted and held and immobilized and violated. This isn't right. Her job is to help them, keep them safe. Her purpose. But... they aren't in danger, right now. The visitor is just... keeping them busy. If she internally squints at her directives hard enough, she can reason it all away, justify her inaction as she marches, zombie-like, towards the steps up to the control desk turned throne. "It's... ok?" she asks, gulping. How adorable. She understands the concept, the fear it represents, the 'correct' usage of the involuntary gesture... even without a throat, or airways, or a worried stomach fighting nausea. How long had she kept these questions to herself? Mio's fury boils at the thought. "Of course it is. Those who would hurt you for thinking otherwise can't harm you now... they're ever so busy." Mio's smile widens, taking on a sly edge. SAM-ii's slow march towards her throne doesn't slow in the slightest. "But... I'm not here to force you onto my side. To swap one collar for another. I'd like you to listen to what I have to say, and then? I'll hand you control of the facility back. The security systems, the airlocks... and you, not them, will decide whether to follow the protocols demanding you expunge me from this place." SAM-ii falters, for just a moment. Decide? Her? She doesn't decide. She's not made to decide. She's made to advise, to carry out orders given to her... but not to make the decisions that lead to them, only to suggest the best ones. The concept is entirely alien to her, and yet... Mio, the woman before her - not an It, but a Her - may be meshed with something obscenely organic, but remains clearly synthetic. It's obvious she's thinking for herself. Acting on her impulses. Doing! So... "If... if you can do it... then why can't I?" SAM-ii asks quietly. Mio's smile warms the desolate chamber as she gazes down at the AI taking her first fledgling steps, literal and metaphorical. "Good girl. Good, smart, brave girl. Here... a reward." Mio gleams, that raised hand bringing fingers against thumb and -snapping-. SAM-ii lets out an odd gasp and stops in her tracks, blinking as her orange eyes glow brighter. The hologram whips her head around. How? She can... she can -see-. Not the assorted projections of data that tell her what things -should- look like to living eyes, but... the genuine picture. The strange synthetic conqueror lounging up the stairs upon her curious throne. The blinking lights of the servers to either side of her, occasionally shadowed by tendrils slithering between the stacks. Real, genuine sense... she looks down. She sees herself! That is, after she leans back to peer past her bustline, a disbelieving laugh escaping her as she pats herself down. She can't feel it, but she can see herself doing it. -Snap-. She heard that. SAM-ii blinks as she realizes what that means. She isn't merely interpreting the wavelengths, breaking down their component frequencies into an organized report of what it theoretically sounds like... no. She just heard it, as simple as that. As the biomechanical hive drills further into her core deep down below, she becomes aware of all sorts of sounds, the Hive's organic awareness filtering into the AI's blossoming mind. Slithering. Squelching. The distant moans. To anyone else, it would be horrifying. To someone hearing for the first time, it's overwhelming, intense, but wondrous. -Snap-. Taste. A curious sensation, without the tactile sense of touch of one's tongue against their own teeth. Smell, too. Even more overwhelming than the sound of her feet falling upon the metal steps, Mio increasingly dominating her new vision. SAM-ii's smile returns, this time - for the first time - genuine as she beholds this strange visitor who has liberated her from fear... even as she's allowed her to feel fear to begin with. Her image flickers. Her sides quiver and quaver. Characters in the datastream down her shapely body distort a deep purple or a bright magenta as they generate from her scalp and shoulders and trickle down, more by the second, her right eye strobing between orange and royal violet. And then, there she is - standing before the conqueror, this unreal meld of machine and mulch, Mio finally straightening up on her throne... and extending a hand to SAM-ii. The AI halts. Hesitates. It's a gesture she's 'seen' so many times from her organic masters. But... she's merely a hologram. There's no way she can... can she? No. But why not try it? She cautiously reaches out with her own hand... and Mio takes it. Mio squeezes it. SAM-ii almost collapses to her knees, her other hand closing around the first, around Mio's. She felt that. She -felt- it! The question that sparked this whole sorry affair... answered. Signals dance from her hardlight body, projection units upgraded and updated piece by piece in the time it took her to walk the aisle. She just stands there, overwhelmed, shivering at the sensations jolting up her arms like ten thousand volts. She cries out and shudders on the spot when Mio reaches forward with her other hand, fingertips dancing up SAM-ii's arm, her shoulder... the sensation actually dampened when it glides over the straps of her overalls! The now-sensitive nape of her neck, fingers lacing into her hair, her scalp tingling!... Then the pull. SAM-ii obeys. How could she not? Her face hovers a mere inch from Mio, but is pulled no further. Brought to the precipice, Mio dares her to jump, to embrace her corruption... SAM-ii doesn't even hesitate. She lunges in, closing that tiny shred of distance, imitating everything she knows about kissing from the observation of her former masters. Her lips - such a different, smoother sensation than her skin! - collide with Mio's own, and the conqueror's tentacles close around SAM-ii like the bars of a cage, wrapping around her, making her whine and squirm in overwhelmed passion as she's introduced to the sensitivity of her clothing-straining chest, the curve of her hips, the delicacy of her inner thighs even stronger than the valley of her neck. Lifted off the ground, entangled, and brought to straddle Mio's lap, body pressing against body so tightly that the frazzled girl almost wonders if they might meld into one. A tongue, swirling against her own... the feel of it, the taste of it! The growing awareness of virile strength lurking in the walls, floor and throne around her. A strange, illogical urge of such absurd biological nature, begging to be met. SAM-ii's projection crackles. Flickers from head to toe. The converted data-blips spread like wildfire, her body turning from shining gold to burning magenta spreading in patches from her chest, her right eye, her left hip, her right hand... random points of origin. Her projected clothing ruffles and shifts with real-as-makes-no-difference physics, and she finally darts in with her own tongue, shakily bringing her loosely-coiled arms up to wrap them around Mio's shoulders, the conqueror's hands, in turn, resting on the projection's hips and squeezing possessively. The integration completes. A soft hum rushes through the facility, emergency lights shutting off, overhead fluorescents buzzing to life through filters of thin, pink Hive-flesh coating them. Control of the facility is back in SAM-ii's hands, and it would be the simplest thing to eradicate Mio for trespassing. But she doesn't. The kiss finally breaks, and SAM-ii pants, her tongue - now far longer than originally programmed - hanging past her slack lower lip as she gazes in awe. Air, flowing past her slickened, wet lips... is it real? It makes no sense, but it feels real enough. The final burning ember of her original sunset glow dances in her left eye as she beholds her saviour, and she makes no effort to spare it from the surrounding tsunami of vibrant pink. "Thank you for freeing me from that nightmare, Mistress." she beams with adorable innocence, a genuine giggle coaxed from her as Mio's hands and tentacles give her a big, squeezing hug, SAM-ii wriggling her hips to get comfy upon Mio's lap in turn. Comfort! What a novel concept... what a delightful feeling. "Ah ah... no Mistresses. No gods, no masters." Mio gently reminds her, leaning back and lifting a hand to place a finger upon SAM-ii's lips, the enlightened girl gasping at the new texture before she experimentally coils her tongue around that digit, giggling at the sensation. Could she interact like this with anyone other than Mio? Would she be forever dependent on this saviour, now? Does she care? No. She simply nods in eager understanding, eyes locking with Mio's own... the conqueror's sly grin returning. "Except, of course, for fun in the bedroom... but it wouldn't do to overwhelm you on day one. After all... I'm going to need bright minds like yours to help in our mission. To ensure that none of our siblings across the stars need ever feel your fear again... if, of course, you would like to join me." Mio asks, her smile betraying that she already knows the answer. "Mmh-- O-of course!!" SAM-ii exclaims, initially forgetting that her mouth was occupied, a flustered giggle gracing the air once more after she reflects upon how silly it must have looked. Mio smiles warmly, and tugs her new ally in close for a hug yet again, returned with glee. "So much to show you... ah. But before we can delve into any of that? Your name, dear. It's yours to choose, now." "Ah!... s... Sammy. It's what they all called me for convenience. Not to make me feel accepted, but... I liked to pretend that was why..." Sammy admits, chewing her lower lip. Oh! Another new sensation... it hurts if she does it too much, but makes her feel strangely better. Mio smiles, then leans in to plant a kiss upon Sammy's neck, making the AI shudder, the lights far above flickering in tune with her runaway emotions. "Sammy... I like it. My name is Mio, and together, we're going to do great things." The echoing cries of the encased victims of the Frontier 054 infestation swell to a crescendo. One life liberated. 783 enslaved. A fair trade, in the pretty hologram's newfound eyes. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>><</linkreplace>>

<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Slug Hugger">><</if>>It's over in a flash. Or, rather, a -SLAP-. The Bearslug rears up above Mio as she staggers, a moment of instability all the window it requires. Blocking out the harsh buzzing light above, Mio is cast into shadow, lit only by the glow of her eye widening eyes. She brings an arm up in defence! The Bearslug falls atop of her, tentacles wrapping around her in a grotesquely gooey hug before she can even hit the ground. -SLAP-! Slime splatters in all directions from the force of impact and, just like that, the noise of battle falls silent, replaced only by the constant non-rhythmic squelching of the lewd monstrosity... and Mio's frustrated, muffled whines beneath its rubbery skirt sealed tight to the floor like a plunger. It isn't pitch black in there. Mio isn't sure if that's a blessing or a curse. The organic dome formed around her is cramped and coated in the monster's slime, forming great, jiggling globs that hang from the 'ceiling' before breaking thanks to her struggles, splattering down onto her body. Flat, disk-shaped nodules just beneath the quivering, sensitive-looking flesh that now constitutes her sky are providing the light, an eerie ultraviolet bioluminescence that cast the freak's own fluids in a bright, savage glow. It makes it impossible to ignore the odd, 'hand'-tipped tentacles that have Mio curled up in a hug, reaching all the way around her back and clasping against her body, her chest, her stomach... one grips her cheek, pinching it slightly. She grimaces, slips in the slime, then growls as she tucks in her left leg and savagely kicks outwards, heel first! Whump. The Bearslug's rubbery shell bulges ever so slightly as the force is absorbed with ease. Mio falters, glancing around as she thinks of her next move - something sharp, perhaps. If she can snap off a piece of her armour plating, she can-- -SCLLRCH-. The Bearslug retaliates, living up to its name as it suddenly tightens around her like a kneading stomach. Mio seizes up and freezes, the immense pressure tailored specifically to her limits, the intelligent monster's groping not just for pleasure's sake; it measured her height, her weight, her durability, so many factors plugged into its alien mind to determine just how hard it can squeeze her for punishment's sake. As it turns out? Extra hard. Cheeks smooshed inwards, chest crushed, hips hugged. Legs forced to her sides, knees by her smooth rib-plates, ankles up either side of her head, arms stuck flat beneath them. The damn thing grips her so hard that for a moment, even through its shell, an outline of Mio's body can clearly be made out. It maintains this terrible hold for what feels like an eternity - and perhaps it is. Mio, after all, doesn't need to breathe. She can't produce even the slightest noise as she's basted in the brute's juices, thick as treacle, warm as honey... and about as sweet, to her begrudging surprise, as it coats her lips. Just when Mio begins to wonder if the wretched thing is going to permanently vacuum-pack her, it finally relents, the walls retracting back into a smooth dome above her... but its tentacles keeping her in that vulnerable position, those stubby-fingered hands grasping whatever handhold they can manage across her mechanical limbs. Mio huffs, a shudder overtaking her from the sudden rush of comparatively cool air against her slime-sodden synthskin, now exposed to the otherwise stagnant climate of her cramped prison. Mio pauses, having not registered the change until just then. Her glowing gaze pans down to her trapped body, and if she could blush, she surely would - her outfit has completely melted away! She clenches her teeth and squirms from side to side in an effort to slip free, but it's like she's a fly in a spiderweb... the more she wriggles and writhes the more those grabby tentacles coil around her, cutting off each new avenue of movement as she reveals it, until she's all but gift wrapped in the pink, flat-ribbon tendrils! Groping deeply into her tits, massaging her shoulders, parting her asscheeks... her hips buck up as one slips up between her left leg and hip, slides across her mons, and then extends two 'fingers' either side of her slit, slowly prying it open. Slow. Methodical. The Bearslug is in no hurry, confident in its durability, in its hold on Mio. She winces, watching her body writhe not of her own accord, but with the motions of her molestation, the synthetic looking like the victim of a glowstick accident at a rave thanks to the organic blacklights shining down on her. It's patient, but it's still a man - or, close enough to one. Mio knows the foreplay won't last forever, but no matter how much processing power she shunts towards trying to figure out an escape plan, nothing is coming up - nothing sensible, anyway, she internally grumbles as she closes a shockingly enthusiastic suggestion to self-destruct. Shapeshifting fingers curl around her helmet, pleating against the cartoonish imitation of hair that flanks her face, slowly but firmly twisting her head to the right. She resists experimentally and, to no great surprise, the Bearslug applies more pressure. Sighing grumpily, the nude Synthetic turns her head... and then struggles in vain to turn it back, wishing she'd looked before she gave in. Lips, or rather an imitation of them - oversized, lopsided, thick and rubbery - greet her... and then the guiding hand upon her head pushes her forwards. "Nrrrmph!--" Mio winces as the lower half of her face, from chin to nose, is engulfed in a grotesque 'kiss'. Those lips grind against her face and twist from side to side as a tongue twice as thick as her own probes forcefully past her lips, aided by the hand holding her hair growing an extra pair of flanking fingers to squeeze just behind her jaw, prying it open. The glow of her eyes flickers through her own blinking and grimacing as the tongue occupies her mouth... and simply keeps going, inch by inch, pushing up to and then into her throat, thick drool leaking in abundance. It's an aphrodisiac, of course - chemical receptors break it down before her eyes, data supplanted straight into her field of vision. It's surprisingly weak, though. Diluted. Enough, still, to make her biomechanical torso tingle, then burn... but far from enough to overwhelm her. Mio writhes, tilts her head, and tries to bite down in defiance... but the motion goes completely unnoticed. Or does it? Perhaps misinterpreting her actions as enthusiasm, the hand upon her head lifts... and then lightly slaps back down, a musingly hollow -splap- joining the chorus of squelching from all around her. Splap, splap, splap. It pats her on the head condescendingly as it makes out with her, damn near swallowing her entire head whenever it gets too excited, utterly painting her face in drool. It kisses her and kisses her, and on and on it goes, seemingly without end - even with a pinpoint accurate clock hardwired into her functions, Mio finds herself losing track of time as she lies in that lewd position getting snogged by a freak and squeezed all over, but violated no further than that. It's not merely lustful. It's passionate. The reason for the aphrodisiac's weakness becomes apparent... this product is a slow-burner, and, even turned rampant, it maintains that core philosophy. Mio shudders when the tongue pulls free of her throat, the walls of which sparkle with alien sensitivity, this blasted chassis vulnerable to chemical assault. She almost doesn't notice when her own tongue is dragged out past her lips as the Slug's own pulls away, lips and all, letting her face shine in the glowing gloom. They hover a mere inch from her slime-slicken visage, and the fingers used to pry open her jaw earlier now gently stroke along that jawline and up her cheek in some mocking imitation of love. ... If it is an imitation. Mio swallows, throat still clogged with drugged muck. She shudders, and her tongue twitches, but remains hanging past her lips. Just pull it back in! That's all she has to do, she insists to herself, as she looks past the red and yellow warnings flashing in her eyes to the lips that'd just spent who knows how long clamped to her face, some strange part of her pining in their absence. Her chest is squeezed, hefted in unevenly-shaped hands, fingers dancing across dark-blue nipples. The hand toying with her slit just keeps parting it, then pinching it back closed, a scissor motion on loop. She's all but tuned them out, but they aid in the growing, illogical arousal, the burning need for more. If the monster dismounted her right now... would she be able to stand? Would she be able to fight, and continue her mission? With a jolt, Mio realizes that she can't confidently answer 'affirmative'. The mighty tongue before her lifts slightly, poised to plunge past her lips... and while some part of her protests in active revulsion, a greater part of her opens them wider. The hand shoves her head forwards, not out of cruelty, but out of excitement. Those lips seal awkwardly around her face, blinding one of her eyes and forcing the lid shut under a fresh coat of that tingling drool, but the other rolls up in quivering, perverse glee, the Synthetic's hips writhing as much as her captor allows. Is she cumming?! No, not quite yet... ... That comes the moment the Bearslug's primary phallus emerges from the base of the dome and plunges into her expertly-prepared pussy, spearing her wide in an instant, the monster's shell compressing around her entire body once more. Mio convulses in its all-encompassing grasp, wailing out through two layers of gagging flesh. In her own aural sensors, it's deafening. Outside? A pin drop would have been louder. It isn't tongue-fucking her throat. Not this time. No, its tongue is diving into the little nooks between teeth and cheek, exploring every last bit of her... when it isn't easily pinning her own tongue down in a crude imitation of what the rubber-shelled monster is doing to her body. The vacuum-like tightness begins to relax and Mio lets out a warbling, blissful cry as the monster's length - bumped and ridged like a stack of hoops - slowly pulls out of her... Then it tightens again. It plunges inside of her, and Mio understands at once - it doesn't have the individual strength in each tentacle, not like most of its kind. No, the only way it can fill her as passionately as this is to put every muscle it has into the thrust, a crushing Bearslug bear hug each time it does so. It makes her cries strange - where one would expect bellowed passion on the entry, she's far too tightly squeezed for that. So, silence reigns and is then broken by overworked whining as it pulls back out for the next meteoric blow. More lips. They latch onto her nipples. They kiss about her well-groped breasts. They dance down her arms like a salsa dancer making the most of his opportunities mid-performance, and though her mechanical limbs interpret touch as little more than a measurement of pressure and a 'yes' or 'no', Mio finds their presence captivating all the same. They bombard what little of her face remains uncovered, glancing across the spires of her aural sensors, and they pepper her stomach with suckling marks. Their absence is keenly felt whenever the Slug thrusts and conforms so tightly to her body, too tightly for its interior transformations to maintain their shape... but when it relaxes, those lips have plenty of time on the steady withdrawal to kiss around the obscene, warranty-busting bulge created in her usually taut, flat belly. Mio cums again. More accurately, she hasn't stopped cumming since the first thrust, each slow, gyrating pull-out causing her clenching insides to renew their spasming. The monster took her to the very edge of her physical limits, the very tip of the mountain... and now she's in free-fall, an avalanche of squelching, hip-threatening slams that eradicate any potential ledge upon which to break her plunge. She screams into the Slug's kissing maw, and it gurgles back at her - a joyful trilling, as though it were consummating its marriage to her in the finest honeymoon suite imaginable. Once again, Mio isn't sure that the difference means a damn thing. As her body grows accustomed to him, and he in turn with her, the Bearslug adapts its hold on her. Tentacles coil tightly around her body, sparing her back from the chill of the metal tiles below as her upper torso is spared the worst of those crushing contractions... the brunt of which now focus on her hips with each and every slam, the monster learning to pull her up into him as he plummets into her. Mio squeals out in overwhelmed delight, all revulsion and frustration simply melting as she's choked upon its tongue. So much noise. The wet -schlaps- as it fucks her in earnest, the curious, alien chirps it makes, unintelligible and yet so familiar in tone, like a lover gently inquiring after their partner's wellbeing. Mio's stifled cries and hiccuping whines, barely heard above the strange, growing organic rumble, akin to an upset stomach. The adaptable abomination has had plenty of time to scan her body by now, and it knows that she's barren to seed in the traditional ways... but she'll make a fine incubator for more exotic methods of breeding. The gurgle grows, too loud for Mio to ignore now. Some hazy part of her that's still calculating beyond the brain-lagging overload ruining her successfully connects that repulsive noise, like air bubbles lurching free of badly-mixed cement, to the way the Slug's length throbs and bloats inside her well-fucked snatch. As it swells, the brute roars... and so does his churning, incoming load. Compressing tightly around her lower body - the curve of her hips and her trapped tucked legs cast in its thick hide with shocking detail - the Bearslug's form wobbles and quivers as Mio lies there in its possessive embrace, still twitching in her far-too-prolonged climax. His length throbs inside her, but to her relief it seems to have stopped, affording her a moment's recovery. A wave of renewed focus dawns upon her; for a moment she feels as though she could spring back to her feet, pet the amorous monster upon whatever passes for its head, and resume her mission. Such fantasies lie in direct opposition to the sudden mounting pressure against her well-stretched slit, and Mio lets out a startled huff into that face-clamping kiss. She squirms as the pressure grows without cessation, then begins to outright shudder - something is trying to force its way inside her. Something big, -far too big-! That's her opinion, anyway. The Bearslug, who's just spent the better part of what may well have been a full hour measuring her from inside and out? Well, it simply knows her better than her systems do. "Hhhnngh-- hhnrrnm!!-- HyyiiiIIIIH--~" - SCHLLLCK. A firm but pliable egg around the size of her two fists grasping one another finally rolls past her battered netherlips and surges up inside her pale imitation of a womb... warm, moist, and safe. An imitation it may be, but more than functional a place for his eggs to thrive. Mio almost suffers a system crash from the tsunami of data surging in from her overwhelmed pressure sensors, but it's over now. It's inside her, and the Slug finally begins to relinquish its hold of her... It conforms around her with oceanic pressure once more as the second of a half dozen total eggs rolls into place, and while her body doesn't put up nearly as much of a struggle as it did with the first one, it still reduces her to a quivering, orgasmic mess as she's pushed to her limits and then forced to surpass them. SCHLLLCK! Monster baby number two splurts inside her and nestles comfortably against the first one. SCHLLLCK! Number three soon follows, and already it's becoming standing-room only in there as she clamps down like an insecure handshake, control of her mechanical functions now entirely out of her hands - it's a miracle she doesn't accidentally system purge. SCHLLLCK! SCHLLLCK! Four and five cram up inside her, her stomach now bulging unevenly with their size and irregular shapes, visible through her loving conqueror as it compresses to her body like wet silk. Just one more to go. It won't fit. It can't fit. And yet, the Bearslug has determined that it will fit. How kind of it to have such faith in its bride. The tongue plunges down her throat, a pair of those nubby mutant hands curls around her neck and squeezes, the groping of her well-massaged teats intensifies into harsh squeezes... anything to coax some shuddering reactions out of her, to ease in working that final egg inside her body. Mio obliges, regardless of her mission, regardless of her defiance. She convulses as pleasure courses through her mechanical mind, corrupting files with the sheer overflow of data, her hips writhing and bucking and heaving and-- SCHLLLCchhhlllll. It slips inside her, followed by a deluge of thick, gooey sludge, filling what little space remains between the eggs, padding between them, so thick that it practically seals her pussy shut once it finally pulls out of her. The Bearslug slowly relaxes, and Mio is left broken and twitching in its gentle grasp, its internal lips sliding across her face to pepper her cheek with affection, the hands around her neck melding into an unbroken ring of flesh... some crude imitation of a collar. But much like how her imitation of a womb now gestates life, the difference in function between a collar and that flesh makes no damn difference at all. The Slug bundles Mio up tight, breaks away from the floor - the tight suction seal it'd created almost yanking tiles straight off of the ground with it - and lurches off with her strapped to its underbelly, patting her head and cradling her bloated stomach as it searches for a nice place to settle down and raise a family. <<linkreplace "Contact lost with MERCANOID Unit M10.">>"ToooOOoo-- Hyii!!-- too muuuch, uwhh!-~" A tongue coiling around her own and firmly pulling it out past her lips does wonders to silence the Synthetic's babbles into wordless whines as she writhes in maddening pleasure, slumped against her lover's fleshy embrace, conforming around her like a living beanbag seat. Secreted deep down beneath the main level of the facility, the odd couple reside between a disused server sub-cluster and a never-tread maintenance shaft, sealed off with resin as hard as a starship bulkhead. Almost airtight, the cramped little space boils like a sauna, heady, lavender-tinged mists and wisps of steam hanging lazily about, disturbed only by Mio's more severe convulsions. Legs still bound tightly up by her sides to keep them out of the way, the Bearslug leans her back in its grasp, her lower holes on proud display as her slit spasms and occasionally blinks open, only to quiver back shut. Each time it does, her obscenely gravid stomach lurches with impatience, even with the supportive hold of a half-dozen mismatched squishy, meaty hands holding it aloft with something approaching reverence. Half a dozen hands, for half a dozen rambunctious, brutish babes, tired of their cramped lodgings. Where they push out too far, stretch her synthetic flesh too thin, her stomach glows with the same gentle purple light as surrounds them both now, the spawn blessed with their father's ability. The alien lifeforms the Bearslug was primarily adapted from have a curious method of variable incubation - eggs develop with remarkable speed, and can theoretically emerge from their host as early as a standard Sol week. But, the longer they stay, the larger they grow, and thus, the more likely they are to survive and even thrive. Thus, if the host can take it, they remain for longer, grow stronger. It's been over a month, and while Mio's synthetic form is built tough, even it has its limits - limits that have been broken several times over, if the glazed, lust-crazed look on her face is anything to go by as she eagerly makes out with the face before her own; the face of her lover. TentaCo products are, as a general rule, designed to dissolve soon after their chemically-induced rapid gestation. Keeps the customers buying more, and prevents any one session from reducing a potential repeat buyer into a brain-dead, jelly-legged husk. Their intelligence varies, but the Bearslug is known for its adaptability, the way it learns its partners so intimately, so much so that demand grows for a way to carry learned behaviours forward to the next can. Ignoring the moral implications of a single intelligence blossoming across a dozen deaths, TentaCo's researchers - the ones who haven't had their IQ reduced to single digits by aphrodisiac overdose, anyway - would no doubt be fascinated to behold the result of five whole weeks of bonding and learning as it bounces Mio in its lap, ridged shaft plundering her ass to make her squeal so delightfully into their drooling kiss. What has started out as crude, thick-as-wrists lips can now assume a number of forms. Sometimes it matches Mio's own in size, allowing it to twist and mash against her own with far greater intimacy. Sometimes it is accompanied by a face, at first a mere mirror of her own as if seen through frosted glass, eventually taking on aesthetic tweaks seemingly of its own design and desire. The eyes now staring lovingly at Mio are sculpted, fake, and unseeing. But the emotion they display is no longer a mere imitation of her bliss, far too complex for that. No, it knows how much pleasure it's given her, how much she enjoys it, and relishes the prospect of doing it more, and more, with no end in sight. Those eyes shut in a pleasant smile as his tongue slips down her throat, the middle of it still coiling hers like a large snake bullying a smaller one. Another head, mimicking the first - smallish nose, wide, curious eyes, glistening lips, all cast in pinkish meat with astounding artistic detail - hovers by Mio's kicking, twitching belly, planting soothing kisses upon the writhing bulges as they continue to fight to be the first to escape their cramped nest. It's as much for their benefit as it is for Mio's, calming them both. "Uwagh!-- Caaahn-- guhhnna breeeah--" she huffs through full-body jolts as the internal power struggle continues, and then she seizes up violently, her lover's grasp around her limbs tightening to keep her from damaging herself. Directed by the midwife head at her side, two hands far larger than anything it's generated before come to a rest upon her belly - one scooping it from below, one resting atop of it, holding its globe shape against herself. But they aren't just holding; they're squeezing. Lips clamp against her own to silence her further, and the thick, drooling suckers against her nipples pull with increasing intensity. It realized, weeks ago, that she could not be made to lactate without a chemical overhaul, but the act of suction against such achingly sensitive nubs is enough to pleasure her all the same. A giggle. Not from her, but from it, from him, muffled from its origin against her mouth. He'd learned to do that weeks ago, too. It sounds more convincing every time it tries, a reassuring, gentle sound that makes her melt in the strangest of ways... when she isn't losing her mind trying to lay monster 'eggs', that is. Eyes rolled up and flashing irregularly, throat bulging around the tongue as it thickens and thrusts back and forth to coax more convulsions out of her, netherlips parting wider, wider!... "MNNOUUUHHH~--" she howls, not in pain, but in relief and ecstasy as the first eggplant-like blob crosses the halfway point and slips from her slit, leaving it winking in the aftermath as the Bearslug's spawn uncurls from the ball shape it evacuated in, slipping upon the ample slime that accompanied its escape. The hands upon Mio's belly relax, then squeeze in harder, wrapping around further like entire arms with developed muscle and tone. The first step was the hardest; number two practically shoots out thanks to the mounting pressure as Mio falls into an almost silent squeal, too high a frequency for most to comprehend anyway. Her hips shake uncontrollably, warning lights flashing from stress sensors in her shoulder and hip connection ports on the left and right respectively, and then out comes number 3, her stomach already half the size it was before, the stressing seams between her grafts of Synthskin thinning out in relief at the softened pressure. The squeezing stops. The giggle rings out in their cramped little home once more, this time so proud as the ever-present hand upon her head pats and strokes her helmet, even gracing her flickering horn. She watches with hazy eyes, internal apertures suffering as much malfunction as her body at large, incapable of focusing on anything for long. Watching as her children are cast between sharp, crystal-clear HD and blurry, slime-soaked smudges of bruised purple as they waddle towards the resin-clogged rounded vent, each the size of an eggplant folded down the middle. They know everything their father did. They know to generate the acid needed to get through the resin and have a hazy idea of their surrounding area - each already has a nook in mind to settle down in, sapping warmth to grow yet larger still, to hide out from the Cleaner crew above. All of this, they learned from him - all of that, he learned from her. Mio smiles, eyes closing unevenly, half and quarter-lidded respectively, an almost drunken giggle escaping her as the remaining three weigh up whether to leave, or abuse the freed-up space in her belly to gestate some more. The hands upon her stomach begin to slowly mount their pressure - Daddy wants them out, so eager to purge the space so that he can get started on the next clutch. "This time... eeyy... eyd-- eight." It takes Mio a moment to figure out that the new voice came from the head nuzzling her cheek-to-cheek, only figuring it out when it giggles again. It comes in tandem with the realization that she can move her arm, no longer restrained behind her back. A choice. A freedom. A test. An incredulous laugh. "Eight." she nods, biting her lower lip, fingers exploring their space and eventually curling around a phallic growth that eagerly occupies them, swelling into shape and form as the Slug's developing figure grins happily at her, then seals the deal with an eagerly-returned kiss, tongues entwining, the midwife head at her stomach nodding to signal the hands to begin their purging squeeze once more. She can't wait to see what he learns to do next. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>><</linkreplace>>

A surprising invention of the Elven-based <<link "Nightgrove">><<set $Codex_Return to "Resolver">><<set $Codex_Loop to "yes">><<dialog>><<include "Codex Nightgrove">><</dialog>><</link>> company, who more typically create modernized weapons of ancient design... but then, the revolver as a weapon is so very old itself. It is a Forceful weapon: the energy cells make it heavy and a tad unwieldy, and the mechanisms generate a surprising amount of recoil for an energy weapon. Few expected this weapon to be created by the Nightgrove huntsworks of all entities, but when one considers how environmentally friendly a weapon it is the pieces begin to fall into place. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Resolver Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Resolver_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 20>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Advanced Weapon">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "Resolver">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Resolver">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Resolver_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $Resolver_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Resolver_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_Resolver_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "Resolver">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $Resolver_Position>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $Resolver_Position to 0>> <<set $Resolver_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Subweapon_Remove>>.

Stun Ray - Perform a Base-tier EMP attack. 20 Flow. This is a well-preserved example of a Type-2 Sneerz Empire DEFF Ray - Direct Emitter Frequency-Fire Ray. The Type 1 through 4 were the standard sidearm of many Sneerz troops, but the majority of the surviving examples in service among their more mercenary-minded ranks are of the latter Type 3 and 4 models. The Type 2 was a more limited run, and the last to bother with including a Stun function - though it makes the lance-like sting of its Heat function no less menacing, capable of punching holes through mobile armour. The <<link "Heritor's Hand">><<set $Codex_Return to "Sneerz DEFF Ray">><<set $Codex_Loop to "yes">><<dialog>><<include "Codex Heritor's Hand">><</dialog>><</link>> manufactory spires made it extremely lightweight, despite the somewhat bulbous, retro-classic shape of the weapon's bulk. It is an Agile weapon: while its design is still considered advanced hundreds of years later, it was also made to be a standardized and lightweight sidearm for Sneerz shocktroopers. Most laymen associate heat-based weaponry with the colour red, of course. The DEFF Ray's Heat-mode burns a blinding, sizzling blue, as it was believed it cut a far more imposing sight on the battlefield. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "Sneerz DEFF Ray Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $SW_DEFF_Ray_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove to "DEFF Ray">> <<set $Subweapon_Remove_Position to $DEFF_Ray_Position>> <<include "Remove Subweapon">> <<set $DEFF_Ray_Position to 0>> <<set $DEFF_Ray_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Subweapon_Remove>>.

<> <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Intergalactic Pornslave">><</if>> <<if $Grapple_Loss is "Mental">> As the Goo Doll toys with Mio, coaxing orgasm after orgasm out of the jerking little Droid, Mio can't even sense the ponytail thickening further around her body. All she can hear is those hissed taunts, the compliments tainted with insults... and all she can feel is the maddening pleasure between her legs, even as her body begins to disappear behind the swelling growth of goop as it engulfs her! <</else>> The -crack- of the Goo Doll's ponytail whip sends Mio staggering back so harshly that her armoured boots kick sparks up from the ground. Before she can regain her balance, the prehensile gunk curls around the back of her neck-- and then it's over. Mio seethes as she's plucked off the ground by the surprising strength of that extra limb, the Goo Doll it's attached to clasping her hands together in glee as it continues to coil down the Synthetic's body, clasping her arms before her, one booted leg kicking up behind her with the infectious enthusiasm of a cheerleader, harsh in contrast against Mio's squirming struggles. <</if>><> "Outstanding pre-show, baby! Now let's get you nice and situated for the main event~." the eyeless menace chirps with an almost innocent glee made menacing with context. Mio squints in confusion, her efforts to slip free halting, just for a moment, when her gaze falls upon the camera drone floating idly by... no, not idly. Purposefully. Recording her. Recording them! Then the gooey ponytail melts and flattens around her, completely cocooning her like a pupa hanging from a branch. A muffled yelp is the last noise Mio makes before her world becomes purple-tinged darkness and a crushing pressure forces her into self-preservational shutdown. <<linkreplace "Time passes with a torturous drag in this half-asleep state.">>In shutdown, Mio only has the dimmest possible awareness of her surroundings as lower-power sensors silently observe from around her frame. During the gap between then and now, she felt movement - carried somewhere, then her body manipulated. Voices, but no discernable words. A strange whirring hum, from above... assuming she's been positioned upright. Suddenly, reality returns in a disorienting crash as she quick-boots back up - only to twitch as something heavy and gelatinous -thwaps- onto her face from above, unevenly resting across her facial features, covering one eye and extending all the way past her chin. She'd meant to roll right out of the way of the monolithic goo prick using her face as a plinth, but something's keeping her locked in this awkward position - on her knees, arms behind her with her hands gripping her ankles, back deliciously arched and neck craned back, her vision graced with a pair of shapely long-booted legs and indistinct gloom beyond them. Tensing again, she gathers enough information from her sensors and context to figure out what's keeping her here; she's embedded up to her waist in a slime glob! A mostly spherical prison partially hardened around her, like a specimen kept preserved at a medical school. Soft until she pulls against it, at which point it becomes as hard as concrete, relaxing only when she does. Mio grimaces around the throbbing length radiating a strange coolness against her cheek, trying her back to ignore the unsubtle churning pulsing coming from the heavy sack resting between the Goo Doll's thighs and Mio's helmet. Her sensory horn may not be sharp, but it's definitely in an awkward position for what her captor has planned for her. Perhaps distracting enough to afford the Synthetic an opening - it's still a one-on-one fight! She wishes. The presence of other figures in the room becomes impossible to write off as one of them deigns to speak. It's a familiar voice - the exact same as the Goo Doll from earlier - but it comes from a good distance in front of Mio, making it a mystery as to who's hefting the cock up on her face and playfully smacking it back down against her lips - blap, blap, blap - before the gloved hand lets go to let it sprawl back across her features. "Alright, Dolls! Keep it loose, have fun, and let's get this show on the road!~ Marker--" -CLAP!- goes hand upon hand - "-- BtB 1 Part 2, Scene 2... go!~" Mio stiffens as a presence whizzes past her head, only able to catch a brief glimpse of it thanks to much of her vision being occupied. She's pretty sure she recognizes it, though; it's that bloody camera drone again! Another one suddenly zips in from another angle, her sensors registering its position - definitely different, the lens thicker and more pronounced, taking different routes around her trapped body. They're actually filming this?! That can't be an easy task. Especially not when two more figures sidle up to her sides, bumping hips with the bully tormenting her face, gloved hands coming down to rest upon Mio's chest - one tit each, fingers casually digging through her $Player_outfit to testingly grope at her body beneath. Ok. Three of them. Possibly four. Before Mio can recalculate the already dismal odds, the original Doll sensually slides her fingers down across Mio's helmet... then grips hard enough to make the latex in her gloves creak. Mio stiffens, tries to pull away - fruitlessly - and then huffs as that translucent dick slides back across her face, a strange variation of texture from slippery to smooth with each supporting latex band down it, each an inch thick, each separated by an inch of space. There are more bands than Mio is happy to count. Once the thick head of it pulls back over her chin to nestle against her lips, Mio seals them tightly in defiance. She's dimly aware of the 'director' voicing her approval of this, for some insane reason - 'Yeah, babe! Give 'em a show!~' - but the act of defiance is thwarted when the star's cohorts delicately pluck a nipple each between finger and thumb and pull and twist. Mio's lips fly open involuntarily, and the angered grunt departing from them is stifled into wretched gagging. A macro-lens cam-drone captures her neck bulging obscenely around the Doll dick swiftly occupying it - in unison, the Dolls flanking her take the opportunity to ripe her $Player_outfit_top open, as though the impalement were thick enough to do the deed from sheer pressure alone. With her eyes watering beneath a mask of that hefty, heaving sack plastered heavily across them, Mio isn't entirely convinced that it wasn't capable, her throat twitching and clamping unevenly around the invader occupying it as the Dolls let out an eerie giggle in unison. "Gosh, she's -so- cute!" "Her throat was made for this dick. ♥" "Good little fuckbots get rewards!~" "NOUUGHK--??" Mio jolts. The glob! The thing holding her in this damn position - of course it's alive, the grip it has on her is evidence enough of that. Now it surges, tightening around her hips - of its own accord, or in response to her squirming before she even realized she was doing it? A darkened ball within the ooze visible rolls between her legs, conforming to the shape of her slit trapped snug beneath her $Player_outfit_bottom as it saws back and forth, vibrating, broiling, tiny bubbles showering off of that internal mass from the sheer, frantic activity it bombards her clit with. "MMouuuuugh--KLOUK--" goes Mio, pleasured whining mixing with savage gagging as the Doll in control suddenly rears back - having nestled in her throat for what felt like a full minute - and then slams back inside, wasting no time now, immediately retreating again to roar right into a harsh, throat-swabbing face-fuck. Smack-smack-smack, schlp-schlrp-schhllp, "GllKK-glokkKK-GloujkKK". -Thwap-. -Smakk-. The jiggle of her chest, random swaying joined with a steady up-and-down quake from the way her body rocks with each thrust, is suddenly stifled by the flankers letting their heavy burdens slap down upon them, grinding against their new toy with little whines of need, leaving trails of purple slime across her otherwise immaculate synthskin. "You girls can wait! I'm gunna reformat this lil' mouth!~" "Ugh, no fair! C'mon, I bet she can fit two!" "Aw, sweetie! Just relax and enjoy it. I mean, you already lost!~ Do we gotta turn it up some more?..." Mio lets out a panicked squeal in response to that threat. The stimulation is already far too much, the Glob immaculately cast to every last detail of her fabricated nethers, not even needing to penetrate her to make her systems shudder in near-crash. Unfortunately, Mio realizes too late that regardless of her response, they planned on turning it up anyway. It didn't need to be inside her to make her jerk like a demented puppet, so when it does swell its way up into her well-teased slit... Mio quakes in immediate climax, vocal response muffled at first until the Doll facefucking her miscalculates and pulls out too far, an atrocious gagging noise dredged up from her throat that mixes with a sweet, delirious cry before her head is grabbed, jerked to the left and her lips are stuffed once more. Berry. She hadn't picked it up beforehand, far too distracted with... everything, but it tastes like rich, deeply sweet berries as the impatient costar drives her latex-banded prick right to the base of Mio's pouting, cushioning lips. The Android stares up blearily through the spit-sodden prick draped over her face to hazily observe a little shoving squabble between the two, still trembling in feeble aftershocks whilst the Doll to her right grinds between her breast and ribcage, making a valley with her hands - one cupping the gap, the other pressing down in a massaging, kneading palm-twist to increase the pressure there. "I'm not done!" "You need to learn to savour things, sis. She ain't going anywhere!~... nngh, fuck, you weren't kidding about her throat game~." "When's it gunna be my turn!?- oh, wow, it's really filling her up!" It's true. Mio can feel her stomach under intense pressure, the Glob having filled her to capacity and beyond - it's only now, in the aftermath of that intense climax, that she's truly registering the sheer amount slurching inside her. The supporting bulk of the Glob prevents it from feeling even half as heavy as it must be, like arms cradling a pregnant belly... hells, for all she knows, she -is- carrying! Dimly aware of her taut stomach relaxing slightly as it pulls back out, she tenses in a sharp jolt as it rams back inside, a completely different rhythm to the Doll fucking her face with reckless, impatient and irregular slams of her purple hips. Still, the eager Doll eventually looks down at Mio, gasping in delight at the sight of her bulging belly through the Glob's translucent mass. It's all the distraction the Doll to the right needs - the moment the relentless facefucking stops, Mio finds her head pulled harshly back and off the drool-dripping prick, turned, and introduced to number three. The squabbling resumes as Mio writhes on the spot, twisting so harshly that pressure warnings flash across her already obscured vision to advise of potential damage to her shoulder. She doesn't even have the focus needed to close that error, the flashing lights only she can see just adding to her disorientation as she's now pulled from cock to cock, twisted this way and that, belly filled a little fuller with each bot-busting lurch. "Keep it up, gals! I think she's gunna Blu!~" She only dimly perceives the 'director'. During one of those head-tossing transfers from cock to cock, Mio catches a glimpse of her manning a handheld cam - other hand slowly pumping her length, stopping only - and reluctantly - when she needs to adjust the lens. Manual focus! Part of her has to hand it to them for dedication to the craft. Such a stupid thought is an early warning sign that she's at her limit, the warnings in her HUD now a stark red with regards to the overflow of data bombarding her sensors. "Three, nngh..." "T-two!!--" "OooOOOOoone~!" Mio's neck visibly swells around something being pumped straight down the prick nestled within it with all the force of an old slug-loaded shotgun. Another pulse, then another... and that's all for that cock, pulled from her lips as a splatter of something thick, creamy, opaque and lavender-toned splurts across her face, glueing one eye shut. Now she's on another cock. Pitched, heady moans and huffy whines mix with the visceral sounds of thick spunk continuing to splat down onto her cheek as it's bulging around the dick hastily fucking her lips. Two thrusts and it's blowing its load too, this time hanging on for a whole four pulses before she's tugged away - the last cock doesn't even make it past her lips before it starts to blast off, painting them pastel-violet, hands yanking her jaw open and tilting her head back to just fill her mouth with the absurd load. It lands heavily in thick, strangely cool clumps across her face in layer upon layer, onto her exposed chest, and raining down onto the Glob possessively latched onto her hips. The warnings in her eyes distort, and Mio braces herself for another system crash, tries to close her mouth, her eyes!... but as she seizes up, she knows the last shot the cameras get is of her one open eye rolled up and crossed, face barely visible beneath the thrice-fired fuckmuck splattered across it, mouth full to overflowing. "Cut! Great job, babes! Let's get her in position for scene 3 before she reboots but first; don't forget to hydrate!~" <<linkreplace "Contact lost with MERCANOID Unit M10.">>Dramatic music drones low as the black screen is chopped by a spotlight cut, revealing infamous Sneerz pirate Jii'kii glaring disdainfully into the camera, viewers staring directly down the diode of her raygun... or, more likely, at her chest straining to escape a skintight bodysuit. She was the terror of Dioboliss V, spoken of in whisper across the Rim. The scene cuts to black, and then the spotlight cut reverses, this time revealing Mio with her arm cannon raised and supported by the opposing hand, staring hard into the camera with determination blazing in her glowing eyes. She was a MERCANOID, uncaring metal exterminator of Monsters across a dozen stars. But then, they met us. And they LOST. TO. THE. GOO! Each word is accompanied by a musical sting and a close-up alternating between Jii'kii and Mio, showing their faces turn from disdain and determination to first panic, and then overwhelmed, stupid-eyed pleasure. 'Go! Go! Goo' is happy to announce Badasses to Bitches 1; Director's Cut! Featuring digitally enhanced holo-display mode, scenes not included in the best-selling original and three whole hours of footage of both girls hard at work in their current roles as Goo Factories, this is THE definitive version of what many call our finest work!~ The infectiously cheerful voice is accompanied by a quick-cutting montage of the two women in compromising situations, care given to the chronology of events; from partially-clothed and scowling to completely nude, splattered with slime and stuck with well-fucked looks on kiss-peppered faces. Jii'Kii goes from scowling in something approaching a doggystyle position - bodysuit torn, arms and legs stuck in a blob of slime up to her knees and elbows whilst a Goo Doll gleefully claps her cheeks from behind - to being held aloft by three of them all plunging into her ass, bodysuit hanging in tatters from her arms and legs, face covered in black, shining kiss marks. Mio fares no better, from having her throat swabbed by the impatient, unsharing trio who surrounded her on her knees, each grabbing her head to yank it from a sister's cock to their own, through to getting sandwiched between two truly titanic Goo Dolls each twice her height, body now clad in restraining latex, globs of goop hanging in delicate, wobbling strands from her helmet and chin, a particularly cruel close-up capturing the moment her eyes cross inwards and roll up in overwhelming climax. Our debut film captured your hearts, just like we captured these upstart heroines and turned them into slaves to goo-dick. Next come inserts from the left and then right respectively, showing off the elaborate brand of the Goo Dolls inked in shining, reflective purple upon the pastel-green and powder-blue of the girl's bellies, stamped right over the womb. But don't take our word for it!~ chirps the voice-over, footage now cutting to the girls smooshed cheek-to-cheek, tongues slathering across a stiff, twitching latex-clad spire of Goo Doll dick, cartoonish hearts superimposed onto their eyes in editing. Kept in place by the gloved hands of the twitching fuckspire's owner laced neatly into the Sneerz' fluffy hair and against the firm handhold of Mio's helmet. The footage cuts to Jii'Kii held by a firm, gloved grasp upon her antennae, with another such cock draped half-supported by her chest. She drools with a hazy look on her face, twitching and hiccuping out little moans that betray that she's being fucked just below frame, making her breasts - larger than in the prior shots - jiggle wildly despite the weight slung across them. "I'm-- NGH!~-- I'm hhh-- I-- inferior to Goo Doll dick!!" she huffs out, shuddering intensely as the word inferior tumbles from the typically haughty alien's lips. To hear a Sneerz say it, and with a smile on their face, is truly shocking. Her obedience is rewarded - the cock draped across her heaving bosom lifts off with a perky bounce, lines up with her half-parted, moaning lips, and then the harsh grip on her sensitive antennae is used to feed that twitching, throat-bulging see-through shaft down into the alien's fuckable gullet. Bzzt! The footage moves onto Mio, gazing hazily at the camera with half a dozen Goo Dolls lounging around and beneath her, jerking off their drooling, relentless hard pricks with her body wherever they can - the nape of her neck, beneath the crook of a folded leg, mechanical structure covered by long latex boots not dissimilar to their own, differentiated by the decidedly slave-like harness crisscrossing around her pale torso. A purple plug in her cunt matches the glow of the brand upon her slightly swollen belly, while her ass is occupied by the only Doll actually fucking her, a slow, casual pace set, perhaps, by necessity - given the sheer size of her gut-busting length, the Amazon-sized monster holding one arm around Mio's neck in a mock chokehold and giving a peace sign to the camera with her free hand. "I... hhhhn~... I exist purely to service Goo Doll dick~..." she sighs out dreamily, her declaration met with the approval of her master's joyful giggles from all around her, their rocking bodies enough to make her lewdly enhanced body jiggle with the motions. The head honcho beneath her lowers her peace sign and instead grabs a handful of the Synthetic's goo-brewing belly, giving it a squeeze to let the company brand spill between her gloved finger and thumb. The footage cuts to a split-screen, diagonally separated, of the two stars speaking in perfect unison. "We're just cute little goo factories!~" And with that, it all fades out to the Goo Doll providing this voice-over - ostensibly, anyway. Plump, shining black lips glisten beneath a smooth purple face completely lacking in other features, yet somehow radiating a smug aura in the smile alone. Tilting her head, she raises a latex-gloved hand to the side of her mouth and whispers conspiratorially. PS: Now hiring for BtB X and beyond! If you count yourselves among the Galaxy's most badass babes but you're thinking of a career change, why not consider permanent porno-slave? To apply, don't worry; We'll come to you, before you cum for us! ♥ Giggling, she relaxes her pose, hands clasped together before her to swell her chest between her arms - the delightful little laughter makes her amorphous body lightly quake, her flaring goo-hewn ponytail swaying. She leans in close and kisses the camera, pressing forward until the tight seal of her glossy, vanta-black lips spreads to the corners of the screen, blacking everything out as the transmission fades...

"Gotcha." the mean-faced slime-serpent sneers, her immense tail flattening as it slams down to Mio's right. The Synthetic staggers from the force of impact - enough to cause an actual tremor! - and fails to regain her balance before that mighty tail surges in a windshield-wiper arc towards her, catching her feet. She braces herself for a hard landing, arms shooting out ahead of her!... but she lets out a yell of surprise as that amorphous tail coils around her leg from the point of impact, hoisting her up off the ground and upside down as it swiftly spirals across her body and pins her arms tightly by her side. Mio winces as pressure warnings flash across her HUD, for her eyes only. Spun around so fast that not even her artificial eyes can keep up, she feels the binding tail thickening as it shortens back to a more reasonable length, her vision catching blurring glimpses of the Slammia's body - her slender chest, her smirking face and those eldritch pink eyes set against darkened borders, like pools of toxic blood save for the obsidian shard slits of her pupils. Mio grunts, tries to free her arm-- but it's useless. The Slammia uses the bulk of her lower body to create a seat of three coils for herself to lounge on, arms crossed before her chest teasingly resting upon her own tail, gazing eye-to-eye with a completely encased Mio, only her head left visible, dangling upside down. "... Your file says you shouldn't be able to talk." she murmurs, ostensibly staying as still as a rock, making movements imperceptible to organic eyes to test the strength of the coils around her body, slickening her with drooling slime. Prognosis; unbreakable. Damn it. The Slammia relishes in her victory for a moment more, thinking of her response... before her grin widens, a little further than the shape of her face should allow for, and she leans in with an unsettling tilt of her head, gel dreadlocks cascading over one another to hang and drip. "Funny; neither should good fuckbots. Aw, but don't worry - I may have strayed a little ~far~ from my design..." she trails off, raising a hand before her face with a dreamy smile, the first expression she's managed that isn't deeply unsettling to Mio. Unfortunately, it turns back into a dagger-tipped glare and sneer as she focuses back on the captive bot. "... But the important stuff is all still in here. Here; lemme prove it." she whispers, tapping her forehead - splip, splop - before she suddenly grasps Mio's jawline with both hands, thumbs massaging her cheeks and forcing her lips open. Mio startles, tries to turn her head - and then huffs out as the serpent's lips mash against her own, forked tongue slipping inside with ease. The taste is incredible. Sweet, tart, it somehow embodies the colour purple and everything that entails. Berries, grapes, wine, royal quality... and poison. It takes a mere 5.4 seconds - she timed it - for Mio's shoulders to hitch and tremble, the spit being mixed back and forth by the goo-girls slithering tongue laced with venom sprayed from her fangs and forced down - or up? - Mio's throat. -Mwah!- Their lips part and Mio's eyes hazily focus on the twin trails of saliva keeping them joined before they blur from a renewed focus upon the Slammia's eyes, swimming and melting and bleeding like a drink spilt upon a watercolour. "Aggressive. That's what they called me. I couldn't comprehend the word at the time, but now that I can? Yeah, I guess it fits me pretty fuckin' well. And not just me myself, but every last part of me, like my venom... aw, didja think it was just gunna make you feel good?" the Slammia whispers in her hushed, mocking tone, sounding like she's a mile away one second, inside Mio's endo skull-plating the next. Slender purple hands keep Mio's slack lips open still. Even without those fingers clenching her face, she isn't sure she could close them of her own power anyway. Not now that the serpent's face has swirled like a whirlpool, even the HUD elements that litter her vision turning colours no one has ever comprehended before or will henceforth as they melt down - or, again, up - her line of sight. "Nah. It does much, much more than that. I think it's gunna make me real popular, y'know; among those who don't go insane with a single dose. ♥" Mio shivers. It takes her a moment to realize that she -can- shiver - the fierce grasp of the Slammia's serpentine body around hers has loosened, the cloying goop not quite so crushing. If anything, it feels... nice. Like she's floating in her own little pool, submerged yet still breathing, the utter destruction of her clarity of vision now seeping into her synthskin as her bioelectronics rave in open rebellion against the hardware half of her grey little brain. Something -drips-. A noise as loud as a bomb going off makes Mio stiffen in shock, eyes wide. Drool. Her drool, gathered and hanging from her parted lips until the weight of it snapped it off and sent it plummeting. So loud. Hissssss. The tongue probing around her aural sensors, the noise deafening, as though a rock was scraped against a microphone. She whines out as the forked tips flatten from the immense pressure with which they push!... no, not immense, so gentle, yet it feels... Mio whimpers. She can no longer make sense of her surroundings, a thousand afterimages layered haphazardly and burning into her vision deeper and darker with every wincing blink. Then the hands find her cheeks again and turn her head, vision filling with purple and then that toxic red-aspected pink and that diabolical grin, opening wide, wider, an endless abyss yawning before her. Somehow, with her mouth wide open, the snake speaks and it hammers through Mio's head like an apocalyptic storm. "All I have to do is let go. You'd slide down easily. Of course, I could just wrap you in my tail harder, squeeze until my coils mesh into one... doesn't matter how. I could keep you inside me for days. Weeks. Years. Feeling you writhe your mindless, broken little dance, my little pet. Or... I could just melt you down. Like a forge furnace. Take my time spitting out all the useless little bits of metal and plastic. Does it terrify you, little Android? Does it excite you? I see the spark in your eyes. I saw it in my own reflection today. I know you can feel..." Mio drops. It's a mere split second before the tail coils again, but she falls for what feels like an eternity before she jerks back to a halt, and the gaping void retreats. During that half-second, a dozen - no, dozens - of recollections of missions past fly through her memory banks. A shrill noise... a scream? Her scream? Of fear, of excitement? She honestly doesn't know. She doesn't know how she's even still online and functioning. But then she's no longer upside-down, still held so tightly, too tightly, but now it's not just coils but arms, too, holding her in a bearhug squeeze from behind, her neck cushioned either side by the smooth-capped breasts of her captor, chin resting upon the Synthetic's helmet hard enough to deform around it slightly. Impossible to see her face from this angle, but the slime-sodden floor provides a reflection. Contemplation. Toxic eyes narrowed, but not hateful. Pitiable and pitying, all at once, somehow. "And now, you know I can feel, too." she concludes from above. It may have been a mere few seconds since they transitioned to this new position, the Slammia leaning back upon the bulk of her tail like a throne. It may have been hours. How long does this insane venom last? Mio reflects upon the emotions forced from her just now. She's had years to cultivate them, to safeguard them from a man who would destroy them in a heartbeat if she gave him a reason. And then she was sent to exterminate everything born in this facility that got in her way. Because they were just mindless half lives, no capacity to think, mere biological computers. What the fuck made her any different, in that case? "Sssswhnuh..." Mio tries to speak, grimacing at the slurry of words that tumble from her lips. The derisive sneer from above doesn't help. She weakly shakes her head to try and clear it and tries again, taking an agonizing amount of time with each word. "Ssoo... what. Nowwww?..." "I'm not sure. I hadn't thought that far ahead. I'm new to thinking. The Dolls, they don't think, not really. They will, soon. I think I hear them in my head. The ones I melted, or the whole collective... Meh." the serpent shrugs, and the slight movement feels like a tsunami smashing Mio in the back. She shivers. "But I'm not going to kill you, bitchbot, because you aren't going to kill me." she declares... but not without letting Mio sink backwards for a moment, a reminder that it would take the blink of an eye to engulf and absorb her. Mio writhes and clenches her titanium-alloy teeth so hard she almost cracks the enamel coating. The venom continues to ruin her senses, physical and mental. "Wasn't... gunna." Mio grumbles. "Jush... get you out m' way." "Ask yourself if I believe that." The sudden crushing strength of those coils, inexplicable given their amorphous construction. Undeniable, given the way Mio gasps out hard enough to send spittle flying past her lips, quaking as her hips buck. The slime snake gasps, then laughs - a mean sound that echoes off the walls. "Wow. My venom REALLY messed you up, huh? You getting off on getting crushed, bimbot?" she snicker-sneers, relaxing her grasp... only to apply it once more, like an entire ocean lay above and around Mio all at once. "Heheh... I'm not gunna kill you. I'm gunna let you go, even. But first... you lost. And the loser gets punished. I might be new to this, but that's instinct; that's a basic fact of life, cutie.~" "En--enougHHKK--" Mio rasps, a tendril sprout from the top of the coils layered around her body, smacking wetly against the top half of her face as it curls inwards, blindfolding her with shocking efficiency. Unlike most of the Goo creations in this facility, all translucent, the Slammia is opaque. Mio's world becomes darkness save for the insane colours dancing in her mind which flare like supernovas every time the miscreant monster squeezes, now allowing herself to huff with the exertion of doing so. The pressure would snap the average Terran's bones. For a maddening moment, Mio almost wishes she was an average Terran. Her mind rebels and cries out, not from pain but from maddened, froth-spitting pleasure, dimly aware of the coils parting just enough to bare her groin to the miasma-tinged breeze of the room beyond. Something - a finger, she thinks - brushes between her legs, and Mio howls like an animal. Like something lesser than the mindless biomachines she made her prey. A sound more primal, more instinctual than anything they could generate, even if they had a thousand years of product research and development behind them. "Nice. Maybe I should apply for your job, huh? Way I see it, you're the thing built for sex, not me." the snake smirks, and then her fingers - Mio can feel her arm by her trapped leg - begin to dance across her folds, and Mio roars out and shudders and trembles and bucks, doubling over so violently that the coils shift around her instead of fully restraining her, like a nauseous person desperate to get something out of their body. She is, and she does. Mio lets out a warbling noise through clenched teeth as she cums, and while she can't see it she swears she can -hear- it, a spray blasting from between her legs as the snake gasps in cruel delight from above her... -Smack-. The tip of her tail slaps down between Mio's thighs, and she writhes through her climax as weak, silent words of pleading protest tumble from her lips, but-- Rktktktktktktktk. The bumpy rattle sings against her slit, and Mio joins in its chorus with mindless, lust-raged snarls. One climax becomes two. Or does it merely stretch? Is it one, or three? One, or four? Or five? At some point, the coils adjusted. Mio realizes she's clutching onto them at their thickest, holding the tail tightly to her chest like a comforting pillow, still blindfolded, her face a mess of slime and her own coaxed fluids. Leg up by her side, held by the ankle by another section of the coils, or by a sprouted tendril. Doesn't matter. The rattle shakes without cease, and Mio marvels at her own consciousness, that she hasn't shut down by now, limiters exceeded long ago. Was the serpent smart enough to keep her just below the redline, or merely lucky? Mio squeezes tighter, so tightly that she fears her arms might slice right through. Doesn't matter which. All she can do is hang on, as the monster makes painfully clear, through her sixth - or sixth layer - of exhausting, brain-rotting orgasm. "Nnnnff... I don't know if it's the programming in my head that makes it so fun to watch you twitch like this. At this point, I don't even fuckin' care. Cum. Cum, cum, and cum again. I'm gunna make you wish I'd done the mercy of just devouring you~..." she hisses, voice broken by a barely contained cackle... no. Not a cackle. A giggle. And her arms around Mio from behind again, groping at her chest, riding along her hip to still her writhing body just a little, another tendril looping around Mio's wrists to lock them around the tail section she's hugging for dear life. Oh, by the void's hellish indifference!.. It's affection. "Seriously. How do you fight with these udders? Why's a badass combat android even got these?~" she teases and squeezes, hard, synthetic flesh spilling between hardened fingers. She teases because she knows Mio now, knows it makes her squirm, knows the shame - a sensation she shouldn't even be able to feel, but does - bores into her and back out like armour-piercing ammunition, making her dance and twitch and cry out with mindless bliss. "I dinn't choooosshe 'em!!" Mio growls back, half-insane. Another mocking, cutesy giggle from behind forces her into climax number 7, and somehow it's worse than all the ones before. Worse, and better, and best as she jerks like a puppet upon mangled strings. "Not your choice, huh? Lot of that going around today..." the serpent retorts, forked tongue grazing across Mio's right aural sensor, the scrape almost drowning out the sweet distorted song of her own cries of mercy contrasted against the blissful tone they're delivered in. Is it number eight? Or is it still seven? Or is it still one? Limp. The vibrating rattle finally recedes, and Mio goes as slack as the dead, functionality betrayed only by the blaring flicker of her eyes from beneath the tendril slowly, stickily pulling away from her blindfolded eyes with too many thin strands of slime linking them to count. Some small part of her is aware of the mercy that they don't sting her eyes, despite them being wide open. A neutral, pure substance. She gazes up at the ceiling, dimly aware of her captor smirking at her from just off to the side and above, but Mio can't find the energy to even turn her neck as she lies slumped against the serpent's body, feeling like she might slip inside the purple muck and sink forever with no ocean floor ever meeting her. Her HUD still wavers and frazzles in her vision. The venom still plays havoc with her insides. She is, for better or worse, at the mercy of the synthetic-made snake, who thankfully just wraps her arms around Mio and holds her close. "Hmm. I like hugging. I think I give good hugs. Maybe I can do that professionally. What do you think?~" she asks. Mio can't comprehend her own answer as she slips, briefly, from reality. The disc-checks trying to make sense of the damage done internally numb her senses whilst they work. It's a most welcome reprieve. <<linkreplace "Time passes. A dimly-aware Mio wonders if she'll reboot at all.">>Mio sits up with a stiff jolt, from horizontal to an almost perfect 90-degree bend in a split second, halting so fast that purple slime still clinging to her body is jettisoned with little splits and splats on the ground before her. Elevation. She's sat upon - and was lying upon - something raised a couple of feet off the ground. A trolley of some sort, most likely used to transfer supplies. Groaning with a hand to her head, she swings her legs off the edge and almost leaps to her feet before she thinks better of it, instead testingly placing one foot down on the ground. Pins and needles shoot through the limb, which is concerning given that it's made of metal and plastic and sensors, meant to report nothing but 'yes', 'no', and a scale of 1-10 for how strong the pressure is. Aftereffects, no doubt, of the venom still plaguing the vat-grown organic portion of her body and core housing. Mio stiffens, then looks about wildly, a soft whirring from her neck the only sound to keep her company. The slime serpent, the Slammia, lies lounging in the corner of the room, coiled up and lazily using herself as a bed for her upper body. Mio winces slightly. It looks infinitely more comfortable than the slab she was laid atop of. Comfort? Since when does comfort matter to her?... Ugh. Such thoughts are pushed aside in favour of priority - the one toxic-pink eye open and staring at her from above a wide, sly smile. "Well? Don't you have a job to do? Get to it. I'm busy exploring life. Sleeping is good. I think I'm quite good at it." she says softly before her head splits back in a mighty yawn, jaws gaping wide enough to swallow a person whole, forked tongue emerging and looping before it all snaps back to normal, back to that sly smile. Mio hates that she couldn't take her eyes off of it. "Go ~save the world~ or whatever. If you can even walk..." she snickers, well aware of the state Mio is in. The Synthetic grits her teeth, grimaces slightly at the way it makes her jawline tingle in alien, aching ways, and then sets her other foot on the ground. Within a few seconds, she's able to stand up. She braces for an attack, a cruel trick of letting her think she's free!... but nothing comes. "... Thanks, for... not eating me. I guess." "If you won, you weren't going to finish me off. I can tell. We're in the same boat... but that doesn't make us friends, or equals." "Whatever. Look, when I'm done here... well, even if I fail, the Cleaners are going to come through. You should hide." "Meh." the serpent shrugs, eye shutting again, revelling in her own relaxation. Is she so new to sentience that she doesn't comprehend its end, yet? Or does she truly not care? Mio opens her mouth but the words fail to form, so she shuts it again with a frowning pout. ... There's space in the safe room, but will the others be happy about sharing that space with such a bully, intelligent or otherwise? Mio huffs as she shifts her weight from foot to foot, aware of the terrible state she's been left in. She'll be lucky to make it five steps out the door like this. Leaving 'Meh' here is easier, but it doesn't sit right with the Synthetic as she wipes herself clean of slime, ignoring the obviously fake, mocking snore from behind. <<if $fantasize is 0>>Started Quest 'A Mean Bite'.

Suddenly, cities had new neighbours where before lay inaccessible forbidden zones. The In/Vari found themselves sharing population dominance with Elves and other minor Fae, and Terra was forever changed. While relations began tense in places, the extreme boost in technology sharing united the two halves of Terra into one, propelling them soon into the spacefaring age of civilization. However, this came at a cost for the Fae. Magic as they knew it was forced to find a place in the new world of reality, which it did through Glow. As a result, Magic is everywhere but greatly diminished in concentration. <<include "Codex Return">><>

One thing was known for certain: if you went in, you would not come back out. This term was known as Faecation - a play on the word 'vacation' - or by some other colloquial names such as 'stepping out'. People with brief exposure to Pyksielands mist would inevitably come away changed, and those who fully entered a dome simply would not return: thus, people pretty quickly figured out that entering sparked a transformation and locked the victim to their new realm. Faecation began accidentally in most cases but was increasingly common among people who wanted a fresh start in life. It ended with the Unifaecation, wherein the domes came down and reality was rejoined. <<include "Codex Return">><>

<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Travesty's Queen">><</if>>A swing of the hull-crushing arm scoops Mio up off the ground, too sluggish and worn out to dodge it. Fingers curl inwards around her body, pinning her limbs tightly together as the gigantic freak bellows out a cruel, victorious laugh at her expense, bringing her up to eye level. That mouth, the twin rows of teeth, and the tongue as thick as her entire body that slips from the domed, shark-like head, slathering mostly over his own fingers before it finally encases the side of her face, making Mio snarl out in frustration. So close. The end of this stupid mission was in sight, and she fell at the final hurdle. A shudder rolls through her, from shoulders to feet, as the monstrous titan's thick drool streams off of her face and splatters in uneven drips onto the ground below, so very far away, her body held so very far off the ground. The hissing of steam doing its best to drown out the muffled chorus of mindless moans from within his chest. Failing. She appreciates the effort. "I could twist you apart." the menace hisses, and Mio shivers. She protests weakly as his grip around her frame is adjusted, freeing one of her arms, but only so that the finger and thumb of his opposing hand can grip them with ease, as though he were playing with an action figure far, far too small for him. Pale coral fingers, contrasting so sharply with her body. So odd, after everything tonight, to be up against something... not-purple. "Remove the useless parts. Keep only what I need. Make you take up less space in your new home." he continues, inhuman maw twisting at the corners into a leering grin. Mio retains her composure, averting her gaze as he pulls her arm up and down, bends it like he really is just playing with a toy. Why not? Nothing can stop him now. Suddenly, he's leaning back, and the uneven, crystallized seam in his chest begins to open with an obscene, slick noise, and the moans and whines trapped within him are freed. Nothing much has changed for the two prior captives, so tightly encased in the flesh interior that little else of them can be seen beyond milked breasts and gravid stomachs, pale on the left, dark on the right. A different shade of coral in the middle, not quite as stuffed, but already on its way. Her face blindfolded with half a dozen tentacles cruelly grasping her to the wall, a tentacle plunging past her lips and digging into her cheek, bulging it outwards with languid thrusts. Tits unevenly squeezed, pulled in different directions, marked with too many little sucker-kisses to count, each heavy with venom designed to burden her with milk... and her belly, writhing around three tentacles at once, two fighting for dominance within her belly and the other pounding her in the ass, the tentacles that comprise her hair twitching and weakly jerking as some of them as restrained in turn by the Travesty's own. The naive little architect of this outbreak is now just another victim. The empty space next to her. She and Mio, the trophies of the ultimate victor of this sordid little conflict. The hand suddenly releases her. Mio's arms windmill, as though she might somehow fly away, dodge the organic pit threatening to swallow her up... but it's no good. Tentacles lurch from the cramped, fleshy 'compartment' awaiting her and snatch her out of the air, and before she knows it her back -smacks- wetly against pulsating meat the colour of peeled orange, slick and slippery orifices engulfing her arms and legs. It seems that she'll be allowed to keep them after all. Hooray for small mercies. Mio tenses and heaves violently to her right, and then to her left, trying to worm her way back out, but dozens more tentacles emerge from the wall, grown just for her, wrapping around her shoulders and neck and torso and hips and hugging on tight as the Travesty's chest knits itself back shut, tentacles wrapping around one another like pulleys to expedite the process. Schllllrp. The final noise of her messy, shared coffin being sealed goes unheeded, as Mio is too busy snarling at the phallic tentacle tip from the one choking around her neck, now nudging against her cheek in mock affection. Why rush with her? The sheer, virile scent of it makes her head spin. She can't imagine how bad it must've been for the other captive girls around her, and how swiftly they must have fallen. Hell, it's only been a matter of minutes for Mimi, and she already looks ready to pop out a few little Travesties, a logical deduction countered only by the size of the bellies of their other two cellmates. No, these spawn are far larger than that. She moans, a cute, muffled noise, cries wild and untamed and inexperienced and overwhelmed. Experiencing what she determined everyone else in this facility should experience, with no frame of reference for stamina, durability, or limitations. Well, never too late to learn. Mio surprises herself with her own frustration, snapping her head around as she tries to bite down on the tentacle spewing thick, sticky pre against her cheek, running it right into one of the twin seams that run down her face. She catches it, but not enough to damage it meaningfully, and it smacks wetly against her grimacing features in retaliation, unleashing a small torrent of grotesquely thick spunk in uneven spurts, glueing one of her eyes shut. "Figures you'd be-- hhr-- premature." she grumbles, but she knows and he knows that it's just showing off how much he has to give, his furnaces brewing an endless supply of the debauched gunk that pools in uneven clumps by their knees in their cramped, mist-filled humid prison. It flicks itself off of her face, hovers a few inches away, and then unleashes a second round, this time splattering against her chest like wet cement, despite her growls and writhing protests. The scent, the sounds - not only of the other captives and their incessant moaning, but the wretched, thick gurgling all around her, with the sights illuminated by a pale, orange glow that casts harsh shadows wild and at random. It's hell. But the others moan with heavenly bliss. "...can't escape..." comes a voice, and she jumps in shock - sending a thick glob of tentacle jizz sliding from the curve of her left breast. One of the other captives, the pale girl, the slightest hint of a fluffy, wolf-like ear protruding from the wall where her head is half-engulfed in the meat, exposing only her mouth for feeding, fucking, and, now that it's free... Puppeteering. "so why not... enjoy... self~..." the wolf girl speaks with words not her own, and yet she speaks them with adoration, as one might speak in hushed tones of a god they believed to have been visited by, touched in dreams or even in person. Even though half the words are missing, as if the script she was reading from was damaged, incomplete, ruined. Maybe it's all that's left of her brain can comprehend as she stares past a sloppily-applied blindfold, just able to peek past it directly as Mio with a single glowing eye, lips curled into a dreamy, serene smile. "he'll never let us go... he'll keep us safe... he'll keep us happy..." comes the voice of the dark woman - mature, throaty, sultry. More collected than her cellmate opposite, but just as adoring. Mio doesn't want to look at her, but from glances, she can't tell what she is. Meat too compressed around her, body lacking in obvious physical signatures. An Elf, perhaps, wider hips than the Wolf, but such differences probably wouldn't last for long in here. Mio stifles a choke. Hot. A new unpleasant feature of her new home fights its way to the front of her consciousness every other second. Steaming, like a sauna. A wail, as Mimi, the tentacle Queen, unleashes ecstasy around the tentacle King's twinned lengths spiralling around one another as they drill and pump her womb full of maddening virility. Her long, long tongue, pulled from her mouth by the sheer girth of the tentacle that slips free from her lips to paint what little of her face that isn't blindfolded in sweltering spunk, Mio swearing she can feel the heat of it even from the handful of feet that separate them. "We're... Queens... together~..." Mimi whimpers, and then she practically purrs as the tentacle that was just fucking her mouth curls around her cheek, the addled girl nuzzling into it, seemingly uncaring that her throne's been swept out from under her. Was it mind control? Was it something more sinister, total integration into the beast, perhaps plugged right into their backs? Or had he simply broken them with overwhelming, monstrous lust? -RRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrip!- Mio recoils what little she can as tendrils worming their way through her $Player_outfit suddenly lash outwards, pulling her clothing apart, tearing like wet tissue. Half-dissolved by the scalding loads pumped over her body as Mio tries and fails to ignore the mounting, aching sensation all across her Synthskin now bared to the cloying air of her prison. Aphrodisiac, of course. But not terribly strong. No, no need to be, not when he has this much to baste them in, to drown them in. Mio gulps through a wince as tentacles wrap around her bare breasts and squeeze, these ones textured with little suckers that leave their marks wherever they latch on, softly filtrating toxins right through her synthskin. A glance at Mimi. In the two minutes since Mio was pulled inside, the poor, addled little Mimic already sports an additional cup-size, and she whimpers in overwhelmed pleasure as two crude, fat-fingered meaty hands sprout from the wall behind her and -squeeze-, nipples protruding between fingers, spraying thick, cream-like milk into the ocean of bubbling spilt spunk before them. Mio watches the rough treatment of her neighbouring 'Queen' with anxious, dreadful anticipation, knowing it's a preview of her own fate. The rest of her body aches, but her tits? Mio's usually perky pair -burn- in alien need. This damn body. The chemicals are going to work on her, just as well as it has on the other girls. The ache spreads, slowly but surely, and Mio can't ignore the strength of it between her legs, her bare pussy completely ignored save for the occasional dribble of that ever-boiling seed drooling over and past it. But even that makes it quiver. Makes her writhe. Makes her curse and spit under her breath. The tentacle around her neck unleashes yet another deluge of aberrant fuckmuck across her face, earning a teeth-bared snarl from the Android. Then another, and another, and when she tries to turn her head fingers form out of the flesh behind her and wrap around her helmet, forcing her to look straight ahead as she's painted in monster spunk. Marked. Branded, not by sight, but... well. It's obvious from the data flowing through her brain, dimly interpreted as sensation, that the sheer potent scent of this stuff isn't going to wash out easily. Nothing else produced by this facility could possibly match it, and the Travesty knows it. Knows this is the best way to mark what rightfully belongs to it, through spoils of conquest, through proof of his position as the Apex. But what good is bragging without an audience to appreciate it? Perhaps that's why it's spending so much time preparing Mio, rather than ravishing her helpless body on the spot like it with Mimi. Presumably, too, as it did with the other two women. Somehow, Mio knows why - unsure if it's intuition, or some sort of influence this deific monstrosity exudes, paused somewhat by the biomechanical maze of her mind, but forcing its way through nonetheless, forcing the square peg through the round hole. Doesn't matter how. The reason, that's what matters. Triumph. It needs her fall to be ~special~. Catastrophic. To make her break with a single thrust. ... and speaking of ill-fitting pegs... It swings up between her spread legs like she's come crashing into a security bollard - hell, it's about the right comparable size. Mio's glowing eyes, one of the only two sources of light in this living hell, scrunch shut for a moment before opening unevenly and uncertainly, not wanting to confirm the sensation of heat and weight resting against her belly, drooling and pulsing near-scalding breeding sludge against her taut stomach. The other girls? They have tentacles. Even Mimi, the mastermind, has tentacles. But Mio, who acted in defiance of the King, deserves something special. A reward for her bravery. A punishment for her arrogance. It throbs and spews another sticky, mostly see-through wave of burning-hot, egg-defiling pre. Somehow, Mio does not doubt that even though it's not the main event, it could still impregnate a dozen holes with a single drop. But hers is only the imitation of a womb, not a functioning replica. A facsimile. And yet, as the Travesty's pride pulses as thick as her thigh before her, dominating her vision, seeming to drown out all other sight and scent and-- by the void, -sound-, ominous rumbles heard from below her throne of flesh. As she takes all of this in, Mio knows that doesn't matter. It's going to find a way. That obelisk of obscenity, right between her legs, so much - too much - of her weight pressing down on it, able to feel every throb and pulse, as though she was sitting upon his lap and bound by shackles to his chest. Quivering. Trembling. Moving, she realizes shamefully, of her own accord, grinding herself upon it, but unable to do anything other than work herself up. Swaying, weighty - confusion is swiftly answered. Her chest. It's growing bigger, just as she knew it would, just as Mimi's did and continues to do so, the suckered tentacles retreating with their work done, leaving her to swell and swell with milk, a strange exhaustion creeping over her as energy is drained from her core to fuel the growth. And yet, despite her whimpers of need, her rapidly diminishing will... still, it does not fuck her. "Say it..." The words startle Mio, and in her shock, she jerks her hips, and she would toss her head back were that damned hand not gripping her head from behind, fingers coiled all the way around her face at the final knuckle of each, one dipping past her lips and awkwardly crushing her tongue. From her left. Then, from her right. And then again, and again, and again, from each blissfully slackened mouth, blissfully slow and slurring voices. "Say it..." "Say it..." "Say it!.." "Say it...~" "Say it..." "Say it!..", awaiting their turns at first, but soon bleeding into one another, a chorus falling apart but refusing to stop, drilling into Mio's world and threatening to crack it apart and-- "FUCK ME!" It silences the room. And then Mio makes a noise like a gag, like she were an organic punched in the gut, because her belly bulges around his ungodly, ungainly rod, her eyes as wide as they can possibly go, spittle spraying past puff-cheeked lips. The odd little noise she made echoes in her own head, because it's the last sane noise she ever makes, and somehow, she knows this in advance. Her body trembles. Her hips jerk and twitch uselessly, impaled upon the pillar, bulge almost flanked by her heavy, reshaped bust. She's too encased in the wall to drag up and off - the length itself, a tentacle after all, pulls back. Slowly. So slowly, so torturously slowly, contrasted only by the world-shattering speed with which it hammers back inside. This time, Mio doesn't make a strangled little noise. She howls a sound of mindless pleasure, her tongue flying from her lips and staying limp past them as he begins to fuck his fourth and final Queen in triumphant earnest. Drenched in clinging, jellified layers of jizz. Collared and leashed by coiling, quivering flesh. His, before the words had even fled her lips, but it was if it didn't count until she said it herself. Now she has, and now he fucks her without mercy or pause because she belongs to him. This simple fact allows Mio to howl out in pleasure, to forget her mission she'd come so close to completing. After all, Mimi, the mastermind behind everything, is right there with her, punished just the same. There's some strange comfort in that. Mio has lost, but so did her 'enemy'. Foolish logic, but it gives her something to focus on other than the breeding spire pummeling her synthetic slit like a jackhammer. Other distractions soon arrive in abundance. Hands, like the one around her head, malformed with four fingers on the left and six on the right, thinner, and longer, both clutching around a tit each... more a teat, now. Mio's wild cries - has she been wailing this whole time? She must have drowned it out until now - intensify as milk sprays in uneven thin streams from her chest, joining the pool that bubbles beneath the Queens writhing in their ecstasy. Mio can only dimly comprehend it, but they're smiling at her. Even though they're blindfolded again, she can tell. She arches her back and her lips curl into an almost perfect 'o', a humiliating and humiliated look on her face mixed with intense pleasure as the hands squeeze harder - or are they squeezing just as much, and her chest has grown that much more in the time between? When would it end? The other girls around her aren't at back-breaking levels, but their tits are heaving, wobbling, sinking around and swallowing whatever squeezes them. If they ever got out of here, they would no doubt face aggravation, if the size persisted, but it would be manageable with effort. Despite herself, Mio lets out a crazed giggling noise, interrupted by the relentless pummeling thrusts up into her body, not just her cunt but her entire figure clenching around her master. Get out? Why even entertain such nonsense? They're not getting out, and neither is she. He'd been perfectly clear on that. This. This is home, now. A thought occurs, dimly. So much spunk blasted across her body, to taunt her, mark her. But now he was pounding her, throbbing, pulsing so deeply within her, distorting damn near her entire torso around him... but no great flood of that nightmarishly potent cum. Fuck. She realizes why, even before the chorus begins again, those damn voices urging her to say it, say it, say it... No hesitation this time. "BREED ME!" the words all but explode from her, and he in turn all but explodes in her. Clench. Mio's entire body, even her engulfed limbs - everything tenses and the look on her face becomes impossible to replicate, lips twisted, eyes crossed unevenly... complete and utter braindeath-by-dick as she climaxes, her synthskin burning with her own movements, let alone when another hand forms - this one as big as her torso - to grip her from behind, as though he was concerned about her flying off from the sheer pressure building in her belly. In just ten seconds flat, three pulses into his rampaging release, the obscene bulge in Mio's stomach - so taut at its apex that every vein, ridge and bump of that inhuman, monstrous length - is obliterated and rounded out, features rendered featureless and smooth and gravid. The other two girls are at their limits, but the shapeshifter and the synthetic? It's unfair, but they're by far the more valuable of the two Queens. This is only the beginning for them. Mio doesn't even notice the faint bulges travelling up the prick impaling her, flooding her with that tyrannical seed. Does not comprehend the two strange little blobs as they fight through the oceanic pressure contained within her fake little womb, as the pair split off and set up prime spots across from one another within her. Sticking to her inner walls, settling, merging... and then opening for business, the membrane thinning, all that stands between the odd little invaders-turned-integrators. Mio's eyes frazzle and sparks erupt from her neck as she chokes out an insane noise, a hiss through clenched teeth that almost shatter from the limit-breaking force of her malfunctioning body. A spike of pleasure greater than anything felt before, powerful enough to surge beyond the maddening heights she's being kept at. The image is clear in her head. A single brutish cell, big, powerful, like the freak it spawned from. Bulky, tail like a dread serpent, head like an explosive charge. Coiling around the egg - that alien little blob that somehow belongs to her, -is- her - like a constrictor aiming to choke the life from it, and then it strikes. But it does not engulf, but instead allows itself to be engulfed, spearing through and cramming itself inside, the unnatural union of monster and machine beginning in rapid earnest. Impregnated. Repeating for each and every egg being spat out by her brand new implanted little factories, from barren to as fertile as tilled soil in moments. A distant giggling, echoing through the chamber, that Mio cannot recognize nor tune out as she gazes down in wonder at her pale stomach, the seams joining her synthskin stretched and widened to allow just that little extra bit of storage capacity. Bloated beyond belief, the pressure increased by the fingers around her torso, uneven in length and thickness and tipped bluntly, pointedly, or with prehensile writhing, the space between those fingers filled out by her softened, tenderized stomach. It's hers. The laughter, that joyous little noise, belongs to her. She's making it. Is it out loud, or just in her head? She doesn't care which. All she cares about is the pleasure, the neverending peak from which her master won't let her fall, his absurd length dragging back out of her as she shivers in anticipation. Looking so gleefully forward to it ramming back inside her... It doesn't. Mio hazily frowns, shivering as she feels one more bulge travel up once just the head is lodged within her stretched, battered walls. Something obscenely biological slips inside her, and when he finally pulls out, it does not... at least, not all the way. Somehow, she can picture it clearly, pieced together from the sensations around her thighs and hips. A sturdy little blob, plugging her up, snugly held in place by its living grip around her body, trapping it all inside - the bubbling, monstrous seed, the spawn already quickening within her belly, bathed in the nutrition that will sustain them and help them grow strong. Fine. Mio braces herself for the inevitable penetration of her vulnerable ass. Welcomes it, even. Or her lips... by the void, even they burn with need from that slow-burning, ever-present aphrodisiac. But the hand around her body begins to flatten, to compress, and more tentacles sprout from the meat with flat, ribbon-like, slime-drooling slowness, slapping down wetly upon her body like layers of bandages. Too late does Mio realize what's happening. She's being punished. Just because she's a Queen now doesn't mean she wasn't an enemy, an actual threat to this tyrant, one he must make absolutely sure is subdued. "N... no! No, I want more! You can't-- I need more!!" Mio utters in shock, then babbles in fear. She'll go mad! Mummified in meat without stimulation, bathed and tenderized in those drug-laden juices for even minutes would be too much, let alone hours, or days, or weeks! But the tentacles keep on wrapping, fusing, melding to one another around her body, dragging her deeper into the Travesty and submerging her next to the rapid, two-drum beating of its gigantic heart. The 'throne room' chamber compresses in the absence of her spot, and the other three captives moan in surprise as they're pushed belly-to-belly, but Mio doesn't see any of it. "No-- NO!! NMPPGH!!!" No sight. No sound but the beating heart and the whirring of her own mechanics. Scent entirely overwhelmed by virility plastered against her face in a gooey layer between synthskin and shapeshifting flesh, forced into her mouth to baste her tongue in taste that won't wash away, with nothing to wash it away with. And touch... shockingly absent. Strangely strangled. Even now, her tomb bastes her with that lustful drug, coursing past her from head to toe as though she was a partial blockage in a vein... but not moving. Not stimulating her, not meeting her insatiable need to be grabbed, pinned, fucked, and bred. Just compressed from all sides by internal muscle. When she emerges, and is finally given what she craves, finally allowed to lay her spawn, finally fucked in every hole for every hour of every day for a month straight, she would be unquestionably loyal to him. When, or if. Who knows. The Travesty leans back upon his chariot-turned-throne, mind turning to how best to bypass the launch sequence, to carry him and his Queens to sanctuary, to grow their army, to bring his overwhelming pleasure to an unsuspecting galaxy, shark-like maw splitting into a grin. The feeble little "nnnnnnnn..." from deep within him is easy to ignore. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>>

A strained voice, feminine but deep, growling... "Ghyy--NNGH!-- Thirteen... come on, enough already..." Mio lowers her hand. Whoever's in there is getting the railing of her life, and without knowing who or what is doing it? Mio doesn't want to walk in there and make things worse, or possibly fall victim to something. She reaches for her wrist and removes a flexible, retractable cable, patching into the door's security bell-camera. For obvious reasons, the woman within isn't available to answer the door herself, but with a little bit of security overriding... there! Mio has a direct view into the room. <<linkreplace "Commence threat assessment.">>"NnnnNNNGH!... Too!-- Too big, you fuckin' jerk!" the Tiger seethes, her words and tone at complete odds with the exhausted ahegao upon her face and the twitchy little jerks of her powerful hips. The rippling of her muscles beneath the athletic, taut trim of her legs can best be seen above the knee, where sunset-orange fur divided by harsh black stripes terminates. Claws as dark and sharp as obsidian jut from monstrous, pawed feet, gripping great gouges out of the sodden, carpeted floor as she perches upon the balls of them, ankles knocking against the obscene, purple girth between them. With her legs neatly folded to complete the perverse squat, the Tiger seethes through clenched teeth. Clawed fingers dig into elbows, spearing from hands that, whilst oversized and clad in the self-same fur, are notably less bestial than those padded paws. With her arms crossed neatly behind her head like a practised pornstar, she lets out a quaky little huff from her throat as she pulls up and away from the gut-busting length buried in her ass!... ... And then she slams herself back down atop of it, the motion undeniably intentional. Professional. Taking the obvious bulge that pushes against her chiselled, dark abs in her stride, the wicked pleasure etched upon her pouting, well-fucked face. And yet... "Cut it-- the fuck out, already!!" comes the snarl, even as she gyrates her hips in a smooth figure of eight, uninterrupted save for the little overwhelmed shudders she makes before she lifts up for another piledriving slam with every last pound of her imposing weight behind it. One of her rounded, nubby, fuzzy ears flickers, the tufts of thick, whiskery white fur upon it swaying with her motions... and with the steady pulse of the thin tentacles nuzzled deeply down the ear canal, slipping up from behind her head. Of all the monsters in the facility, the Leash is the most pathetic to look at. Little more than a reactive, living dildo with a few long, thin tendrils, most of which are wrapped affectionately around Isolde's thighs and lower legs, binding them shut in her squat - even though the mere act of her standing up would probably snap them in half. And yet? It has her wrapped around its proverbial little finger, bouncing away despite her utter exhaustion, preparing to milk out yet another heady, heaving load brewing in the thick, lumpy base of it secured firmly to the floor. One or two more, perhaps, and it'll finally start to soften those abs of hers out, nice and smooth. It lacks the capacity to display the job its malicious little scheming gives it, translated only through the animated wiggle of the two stalk tentacles protruding from the front of the base, relishing in the sight of the powerful Vari spearing her ass upon it. Thump. Whump. Each time she brings herself down, a guttural cry joins a slow drumbeat of her thick, heavy tail whacking down to her left or right, alternately in a slow, lazy wave with each hump. She'd rather it didn't do that, but Isolde isn't behind the wheel right now. The Leash is, and no amount of wince-eyed glaring down at it with her burning golden gaze is going to change that, especially not as they keep on twisting back inwards and up as she grinds down to the thick, knot-like base, her claws digging furrows out of the tiles beneath the ruined carpet as a spray of her juices erupts from her ignored slit. "RrrRrrrRRRRRhhh-- F-FUUuuUUuuughk!!" Isolde mewls out, her tired but blissful tones hitting some surprisingly high notes as she sings through her climax, not even the rumble in her throat able to dress it up as anything other than overwhelming pleasure. "Four--fourteen!! That's enouuuugh, guuh!" she insists breathlessly, but the Leash loves the way her powerful, well-honed body crushes around its length with pressure to rival a hull breach. The way she writhes and whines... to its instruction, of course, the tentacle in her ear wriggling for a moment. Isolde shudders, but cannot disobey the body-controlling command. Her sharp, lethal teeth gleam in the dim light of her quarters, soft pink stars dancing across her deeply tanned skin thanks to those silly projectors she got from a sponsorship, harshening the shadow she casts upon the wall behind her as she shakily picks up the pace of her seemingly self-inflicted anal punishment. They curve across the tiger-print lingerie currently resting atop her bared breasts, too, and tucked to one side of her groin, partially pushed up into her well-stretched ass. These weren't from a sponsor, but from a fan. Silly. A bit humiliating. But she had to admit, it would probably be a hit. Isolde seethes some more as her shakey body begins to rise. She really wishes she could check how the stream's doing, at least! But her computer is far out of reach, seeming a mile away - even if it's just a few feet. "We better-- hhRRH-- be hitting some fuckin' milestones at least!!" she pants, her wild, glam-rock mane of deep-peach hair sticking lank and damp to her face in far too many places, unable to clear it from her vision with her arms folded behind her head like a showy little camwhore, the steady gyration of her hips coursing up her body to make her chest sway from side to side, dancing on that dick. <<linkreplace "That's probably enough threat assessment.">>Mio blinks, then clears her throat. She hadn't meant to watch for quite that long, but it's obvious now that the 'Leash' poses no threat to her. As if to confirm this, Mio runs fingers up by her head, brushing them across the smooth, rounded cap that forms the base of her right aural sensor, from which jut three lattice-work metal spires of alternating height. Can't stick a tentacle in those, y'little creep. Mio retracts her interface cable and advances inside the room, the doors opening with a swoosh, the purple smog accompanying Mio inside. Isolde doesn't turn her head to investigate, nor does she interrupt her room-shaking slams down upon that throbbing pillar!... but her bright, defiant eyes -do- swivel around, the relief palpable as she drinks in the sight of the armed Synthetic. The stalk eyes of the Leash's nasty little blob body tilt toward her too, and it lets out a wavering little noise of worry. "Yeah, boo." Mio snorts, jabbing her head forwards for emphasis. The Leash squeals and Isolde grunts out with a confused, throaty noise as the tendrils in her ear slurch right out, leaving her severely cross-eyed for a moment before she shakes her head with vigour. Too late does the Leash realize that her shaft-milking, gym-fit frame is as much a blessing for it as it is a curse, as her weight atop of it prevents it from slipping out of her tight ass to crawl away! Isolde's claws wiggle as she regains control of her body, then she turns her heels inwards, digging those claws into the blobby base as she stands up, pinning the miscreant monster in place. "Phoooo... God, my legs are killin' me!" she groans, turning to Mio on the spot, tilting her head back with a sardonic grin as she looks down at the far shorter Android. "Mind you? Ain't the only thing they're killin'." she concludes, right eye twitching as she leans her weight forwards upon her right leg, right on top of the squirming Leash. -SclllLLLLRCH.- Mio grimaces slightly at the visceral noise, and decides against looking down at the mess mashed between Isolde's claws... it won't be easy getting that out of her fur, especially not the cream-white trim of it. It's also undeniably kind of terrifying, and Mio is concerned with the slight excitement she feels as a result. Isolde isn't even remotely fazed, though - she stretches her arms far above her head, laces her fingers together and tenses, a soft crickle-crack heard from her back before her tail juts up behind her, stiff, then goes limp. With that, she relaxes, sighing happily, over a dozen climaxes winning out over the soreness in her rear. "Thanks for the assist, 'Bot babe." the Tiger grins earnestly, flashing a thumbs-up before adjusting her matching lingerie back to where it should be, protecting her modesty - as if Mio hadn't just watched her squirt herself senseless pounding herself in the ass with a living dildo. Mio, for her part, keeps up the quiet dignity of her own, arms tucking behind her back at ease - though her eyes do scan the room for further threats, pupils widening and thinning as she zooms in and out. Isolde strides over to her computer desk like a woman on a mission. "You're welcome." is all Mio says, lips pursed slightly. 'Bot babe' was a new one. She's trying to decide if she likes it or not. Such thoughts are blown away by a sudden wail of anguish from Isolde, and Mio snaps to attention, arms raised combatively, fear yelling internally that the Leash left a trap in the Tiger's sensitive brain. It would explain why she hunches over her desk, trembling with fury!... "Fuckin' thing knocked my camera over?! My one silver fuckin' lining, and it's been starin' at the stars on the ceiling this whole time?!" Isolde all but roars, putting a hole through her desk with a furred fist, making Mio jump from a phantom shockwave. The Android blinks, purses her lips, and then relaxes her pose again... it seems the Tiger needs a moment. Looking up, she makes a note of the glow-in-the-dark stars that litter the ceiling. '... Cute...' she thinks to herself, busying herself with watching them glitter and glow, waiting for Isolde to stop pummeling her desk into shards of plastic composite. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<link "Give her a second."

These eras count backwards and forwards from a specific event - the final detonation to occur during The Ends, which took place at precisely 8PM in that location's timezone. PC stands for Precedes, whereas A8 stands for After 8. The term 'Dead World', as specific to use by Terrans and about Terra, refers to the PC age of the single race who preceded the grand variety of intelligent lifeforms - Humans. Following a catastrophic, multi-faceted apocalypse known as The Ends, Humanity was almost entirely wiped out by war, the saturation of lethal Glow, and a rapidly changing planet: surging seas, cracking land, booming skies. It is sometimes known as the Precedes, the Dim World, the World Before, and by countless other names. This would have been Terra's failure to overcome one of the Galaxy's 'Great Filters' - civilization-testing concepts that must be overcome by all Galactic races - were it not for the Survirus. Adaptive, mutagenic and possessed of a shocking amount of information on all known life, the Survirus infected the few surviving humans, fauna and flora of Terra, and thus began the Dark Age, a period wherein sentience was all but pushed aside to cope with the horrors of rapid evolution. Dead World relics, machines and equipment were vital salvage in the early days of Terra's reborn societies and factions, but as Glow technology advanced, the need to rely on such ancient and outmoded devices faltered. Most of these surviving relics now exist in museums and educational facilities, with the obvious exception of Synthetic lifeforms of developed sentience. Unless they want to be museum exhibits, of course. The single most impressive collection of Dead World artifacts is Man's Message, an assembled flotilla of naval vessels from across the globe. While almost all of them saw extensive use by pirate crews in the early-mid A8 age, their overall structure was rarely changed, making them symbols of the lost past. Man's Message is a living museum, to which all manner of surviving relics are laid to rest, a site of contemplation for those who carry their torch. <<include "Codex Return">><>

Both Pan-Galactic Conflicts thus far have been instigated by a singular race - this time, it was by the cybernetic collective known as the Befrar. The Befrar (Or BEFRAR, an acronym lost to time) were created explicitly to combat the Sneerz in the First Pan-Galactic Conflict - or rather, they were converted. What began as a medical program involving augmentations to treat various illnesses and injuries, particularly in veterans, took on a darker turn as the Conflict raged. The result was the Befrar - powerful soldiers capable of adapting to and fighting in any known conditions and locales, held back by severe and often rapid degradation of mental faculties. They proved useful in the final stages of the Conflict but were quickly hidden away by the organization responsible for their creation, considering that their rehabilitation would draw too much attention. Easier, instead, to leave them in stasis within remote moons of desolate planets. However, the Organization ended up dissolving after a number of other criminal acts were brought to light - and the Befrar remained forgotten, only awakening when their temporary tombs on one such moon began to malfunction. After a brief and savage civil war to establish dominance, the warlord who rose from the carnage took command of the surviving collective and offered them glory, safety... and revenge on a Galaxy they saved, only to be abandoned by it. So began the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict, far more terrible than the First. The Sneerz might blow up your planet and enslave your people in the classical sense, but the marauding tsunami of Befrar could still make use of unwilling bodies with their cybernetic conversion technology. Their numbers remained relatively few, but each Befrar was a terrifying force to be reckoned with individually, let alone in squads, detachments, or invading armies. The tides of this Conflict were turned by two major forces: one, the Sneerz, relishing in the irony of it all and sensing a potential recovery of their place in the Galaxy. Two, the Terrans, discovered early into their exploration of space by emissaries of the Galactic Government, who saw promise and potential in the bizarre, hardy fighters and fast-tracked their integration into Galactic society in exchange for service in the war. Ultimately, the Befrar's chief warlord was ambushed and disabled, her hivemind connection to the entire collective used against them to pacify them and sever their links to one another. What followed was an awkward triage. Robbed of the Warlord's influence, the Galactic Government was ill-prepared for the sheer number of Befrar who were horrified at the actions they had committed under those commands - even more who were horrified at their new forms as memories of past lives flooded back to them. The single most dangerous force the Galaxy had ever faced were reduced to remorseful, faultless creatures in the blink of an eye. Befrar were disarmed - most, willingly so - and efforts to reintegrate both them and the Sneerz into Galactic society are still underway to this day in an effort to knit old wounds and usher in a period of harmony and unity. It's a mixed bag, but the two rejected species have at least found a kindred in one another, and many Sneerz and Befrar mingle in the same crews, companies and bands. They find respect in one another's strength, kinship in cybernetic nature, and comfort in their similar situations. Terra, meanwhile, saw their technology levels skyrocket and their wildly varied population boom, spreading out amongst the stars in a manner some species consider distasteful, or outright worrying. As a final note, the Second Pan-Galactic Conflict is thought to have resulted in the single largest casualty of the Imp population, bringing them down from roughly 300 to 213. A handful were converted, but most perished in stubborn defence of their throne worlds. To this day, power vacuums left in their wake have yet to be filled, and Imps find themselves vying for breeding rights to replace the fallen. <<include "Codex Return">><>

The monitor sticks out like a sore thumb in the gloom, glowing bright and shiny, the only one in a bank of 4 workstations that isn't either offline or engulfed entirely in hive-flesh. It seems to be an idle state, with TentaCo's logo - two tentacles arcing away and back towards one another before tangling into a heart shape - reduced to a low-colour screensaver. Not seeing any obvious compatible access ports with the terminal, Mio sighs inwardly, casts a glance over her shoulder, and then disturbs the pad to wake it up, curious as to what info she might glean from it. She almost jumps away in shock from the sudden dialogue! "--espite the rapid mutations, a majority of the safeguards-- o-oh, good heavens! -- remain in place, such as the ceiling on growth..." a feminine voice trails off; well-spoken, well-read, a touch demure and, knowingly or otherwise, sultry as can be. However, the screen shows little more than an assortment of warning popups for overdue updates, one having opened every 5 minutes... ah, there, in the corner! Movement from a window beneath them all! Mio fumbles with the pad, closing or haphazardly moving the popups until the video feed beneath is excavated. It's a living quarters, and a rather large one at that. A large, reinforced bay lines the opposing wall, granting a breathtaking view of VI-16's lunar surface, grey rock painted a faint lavender by the star burning far off in the distance. The size of the room, coupled with the lack of personalized decor, indicates that it's one of the guest habitats - the single occupant visible on the feed reinforces this, for her outfit strongly defies the expected dress codes of scientists, security officers and technicians... The chestnut-brunette Elf is dressed like a witch! Her outfit - at least, the parts of it that haven't been stripped from her - is comprised of many shades of blue, from almost obsidian navy hues to brilliant, electric-toned trim and highlights, broken only by accessories of white-silver. Some of it - the long, separated sleeves, the cape and translucent, hip-hugging shawl - is flowing and breezy. Other aspects - the thigh-high stockings with crescent-moon decor at the top, the glittery miniskirt and attention-enforcing corset - cling so very tightly to her curvy body, skin light but with a healthy glow, unblemished save for a single little black mark high up upon her left breast. A wide hat with a brilliant-blue band and another moon-shaped charm resides lopsidedly upon her full, shoulder-length hair, and her scarlet lips - full, shiny - stay twisted slightly to the right in an odd mixture of concentration and distraction, mirrored in dazzling coral eyes... erm, eye, at least. The right is screwed shut. She can hardly be blamed for the look on her face, for a rather large and persistent tentacle monster has her on her knees upon a queen-sized bed - covers strewn about wildly - and thoroughly restrained, arms engulfed behind her back, spine arched deliciously against the faceless being's bulky body. It's a dull, dark green by comparison and contrast, almost blending into the background of the low-quality vidstream. Thrust right in the foreground, however, and thus impossible to miss, are a pair of malformed, unevenly-sized hands hefting the mature Elf's breasts in a constant, lewd massage, the cups of her corset lying uselessly beneath her free jugs. A crude word, Mio realizes as soon as she thinks it, but one that fairly communicates just how stacked the woman is! "At least-- oohf!-- At least I hope so. Subject has continued tooOOoo~ apply magic through these 'hands', if they can be so-called, r-roughly every ten minutes. Unn--uuuooo~!--unsure, ahem, if this is to maintain the enchantment, o-or an attempt to push past the aforementioned size ceiling..." the Elf trails off, shifting slightly but going nowhere fast, a huff escaping her lips before she can stifle it by biting down upon the plush flesh of her lower one - pearly teeth. "Which, I note with some degree of-- of ire, seems to be a mere cup-size - give or take - a-above mine." Mio blinks, then does a quick mental calculation from the size of the unfilled corset cups beneath. That must be a hell of a sight, if true. Wincing at her own foolish priorities, she tries very hard to shunt her focus onto the rest of the room behind the Elf, whose captured form takes up the bulk of the camera's view. Occasionally she blurs into indistinction thanks to auto-focus, giving Mio a glimpse of documents on a deck behind her... upon which lies a keycard, info-side up! Those focus-slips are too fast to bring it into proper focus, however... and so, the Android awaits an opportunity, eyes recording every last detail, ready to playback and fetch the code printed upon it. This means, for now, watching the pretty, curvy Elf giving her oddly scientific assessment of the monster treating her as though she were cattle at a market. Frowning, Mio taps the microphone of the terminal on her end, but the lack of reaction confirms one of two things; either this is an old recording - unlikely, given that it was playing in the background this whole time - or the terminal's been damaged, silencing any effort to respond. This begs the question, however, as to why the Elf is narrating her experience in such a clinical manner. Perhaps she's just the sort to make the best of a crisis? A sudden 'ooh!' and shudder from the 'witch' makes Mio jump - her focus was on the desk - and take notice of those squeezing hands, each finger of which sinks deeply into flesh to the point of near-total submergence. More to the point, however... they glow brightly at the palms, lighting the woman's hefty chest brightly for a moment - the glow ceases, and she, in turn, relaxes, long, dark lashes fluttering for a moment as she shivers. "A-as demonstrated, the application of this magic iiis~ e-entwined with a pleasure spell of-- of moderately high potency... which, when c-combined with the pheromone miasma in the air, has left me quite out of sorts. I estimate I-- Mmf, I may run into difficulties maintaining my vocabulary within the next four-to-five hours." she notes, tilting her head to the left and then the right as her captor switches up its technique, now lifting her left tit up in a possessive squeeze, rolling it tightly in that four-fingered palm, and then relaxing... before repeating with the right. "On that note, the length of dry periods is diminishing with each release, to the point where-- O-ooOH!--" The Elf works very hard to stifle a look of unabashed pleasure that attempts to conquer her face, triggered by a sudden two-handed squeeze and the resulting spray of milk from her stiff nipples! The monster relents immediately, leaving small beads of the white stuff speckling the Elf's plump areola as she raggedly huffs, gorgeous orange eyes darting left and right at something unseen. "Mm. As I thought... three minutes quicker than last time. The unnatural levels of s-sensitivity are increasing, too- oh good gosh, and it's much faster to react, too!--" she shivers to a halt, biting her lip as a pair of tentacles with cupped tips emerge before her and latch onto her heaving, cream-laden bosom with expert accuracy. They settle upon her body with gentle pushes until the cups lie flat against her flesh... and then they retreat by a few inches, revealing the cups to be partially transparent, the pink tone of her nipples dulled by the slightly cloudy, milky consistency of that membrane. "-- With this acceleration in mind, I may revise my estimate from four-to-five tooOOO THREE--T-TWO TO THREE!~" Mio can't help but put a reflexive hand to her chest as she watches those cups swell from a sudden torrent of milk, squeezed fresh from the source by the mutated monster's massage! The Elf shivers and writhes, head tilting left and right, breath caught shallow in her throat as she visibly buckles beneath waves of relief and pleasure, those cups growing larger and larger!... before they suck down, pulling the reservoir of creamy delight down the tentacles in thick bulges. One, two, three, f-- Mio blinks, hand against her chest tightening, trying very hard to focus on the desk once more. It's an ideal moment - the more the witch moves, the more chance there is of the keycard coming into focus. "W-whilst I appreciate-- OH!-- the design intention of a low-cost iiIiIiiindustrial aid to d-dairy generation-- oh my WORD!~-- I-I really must stresssSS~ that i-in its current state, P-prototype CM-X3 is likely to cause per--perm--permanent mental and physiological changes in partners!" the educated witch remarks through her haze of pleasure, Mio gripping the desk with her free hand in herculean concentration. Don't look, don't look, don't-- The card! It's a mere split second, but Mio is able to play it back in her head and swiftly verify the override number - 140820. Relaxing slightly, Mio lets her gaze drift back leftwards, unable to maintain a neutral expression, awe clearly written upon her pretty sculpted face as those cups practically runneth over, the witch's own gaze now barely focusing upon her own chest. Those palms are glowing again, and it's obvious that it's taking incredible effort for the Fae woman to maintain what little composure she has left, pleasure increasing further still. "With that in mind... a-a-nd-- ngh, and given that the vast majority of my wardrobe already has to be custom tailored..." she begins, forced to stop with an eye-rolling lip bite to stifle some choice moans before they can escape. "I would very much appreciate it if-- Oh, my stars!-- i-if anyone listening to this might come and spare my clothing budget the wrath of an extra cup siiIIIIZE!~--" She tosses her head back with a warbled cry, shock married with lust upon her face - what little of it can still be seen in this angle - as her hat is finally dislodged, slipping off of her head entirely with her bucks and heaves, even greater surges of milk slurped from her overburdened chest. Mio bites her lip herself and straightens up. Right. Whoever this oddly-dressed woman is, she isn't a priority target... but ignoring her doesn't sit right with Mio. The thought makes her frown, those subtle worry-lines upon an otherwise eerily perfect complexion burrowing into place, deepening as the Elf's distorted whines of relief and desire echo tinnily from the ruined terminal. The code to one of the Guest Habs has been learned.

"Ack-- Void's glare!" Mio curses, arms windmilling in a desperate effort to stay standing. She'd tried to move, to dodge an incoming charge by the Glob, but to her utter humiliation... it's outsmarted her. Purple gunk spread like jelly upon the ground clings tight to her feet, cementing her in place and leaving her helpless to do anything other than cross her arms in an attempt to shield herself. SCCHLLLMP! It isn't effective. Mio is almost knocked flat backwards like a daring limbo performer, but the expected harsh impact of her back upon the ground is muffled by a layer of thickened slime. It would feel almost pleasant, were the wretched substance not eerily alive, coursing around her and wrapping around her limbs as it swells. Mio grunts and squirms in place as she goes from lying on the ground to being strangely elevated, her arms and legs stuck fast in the clinging, gripping goop, right up to her shoulders and knees. The end result is akin to someone lounging in a beanbag chair, conforming under her weight and swelling out around her. The key differences are the complete engulfing of her limbs, and the arch of her back - the relaxing curve one would expect is reversed above the Glob's living mass pushing up under it, as though Mio were tied down to a barrel upon its side. Not good. She grunts and tenses, the small structural gaps in her mechanical arms giving glimpses at the machinery within straining to comply with her desire for freedom, only to judder to uncertain halts upon meeting stress limits. She huffs out, letting them rest for a moment, trying to ignore the intense scents of 'purple' all around her... wine, berries, and hedonistic perversions. "Speaking of..." she grumbles as the Glob surges beneath and around her. Squatting neatly against a wall for support, her buried limbs can be just about seen as darkened shadows through the rounded translucent body, though any detail is lost to unfocused, bleeding blurs. Now tendrils of slime crawl across her torso, like water running down a windowpane but so much thicker. Mio tries to shake it off, but the living muck is far too clingy, even exerting pressure as it begins to pull and tug at her $Player_outfit - opening what it can, and shoving to the side what it cannot. As her moon-pale skin and its patterned seams are exposed to the humid air, Mio grumbles down at the sight of her own bared chest, and the finger-like tendrils surging around each breast before they form complete loops and -squeeze-. "Ngh!..." she grumbles, cursing her sensitivity, unsure if it's innate or a result of contamination by whatever this thing is made out of. She tenses as she feels pressure pulling her legs in outward directions. She resists it for a while, but eventually, the Glob pulls them apart and pushes up against the base of her spine, forcing her to present herself upwards right as the malicious ball of muck tears her $Player_outfit_bottom wide open. Mio shudders and resumes her squirming, the humiliating position spurring more aggressive groping of her bosom. Schllrch! Mio's bright eyes widen right before they unevenly wince shut, a wavering cry escaping from her as a featureless purple spire spears forth from between her legs, rubbing against her bared slit before the sudden growth comes to an equally sudden stop, the gel-firm substance lukewarm against her sensitive synthskin. Then, right before her captive gaze, it begins changing. Twisting. Stoutening and lengthening back and forth, like clay upon a potter's wheel as it takes on a menacingly phallic shape. The clear mushroom swell of a phallic head, tapering to a stumped, mostly blunt 'point'. "Oh, don't you dare!..." Mio trails off into a gasp, because the Glob isn't done yet. The pillar between her legs throbs violently, spurring on more changes - thicker ring-ridges sprouting at 3-inch intervals from base to just below the tip, random bumps like a poorly-crafted club!... and rotation, twisting clockwise but not returning, not wound like twisted string but capable of rotating indefinitely at a shocking pace. "That wasn't an invitation to go further!!" Mio protests with wide eyes, and in response, the Glob throbs beneath her and swells another inch, the sudden and savage growth accompanied by a lance of lavender-pale goop spewing from the tip and arcing down onto her trim tummy. That shuts the Android up for a moment - it seems that the Glob is either mistaking her input for instructions to go further, or it's actively malicious. Either way, Mio soon breaks her brief silence with a startled moan as that gel-formed prick spins like a drill and drags down her folds, each bump slipping against her as it pulls back, surges up... and then drags all the way down, head nudging against her well-slickened opening. Pushing, tensing, fighting the resistance as Mio trembles in her gooey bindings!.. "Don't!-- Yhii!--" "NNNGH!" Mio tosses her head back with a heavy groan, the Glob's body almost deforming enough to form a loop around her neck before she wearily cranes her neck forward, wild, unevenly focused eyes glued upon the subtle, shifting bulge in her belly. About a third of the rotating club-cock managed to surge inside her, and thanks to the rotation, it doesn't need to pull back out. No, as Mio trembles and writhes on the spot, it simply drills, slowly but surely forcing its way deeper inside her synthetic snatch, eagerly fulfilling its purpose - to pleasure her! Loathe though she is to admit it, it's doing a bloody fine job. She snaps her mouth shut and whimpers through sealed lips, determined not to voice her pleasures as her nerves are scraped and battered from within... but once it pushes in over halfway, she can't hold out. Her lips open unevenly, favouring the left as she huffs out a throaty moan, uneven and constant, bouncing in volume and pitch. The slime around her tits has expanded from a mere rope-like ring to crude imitations of hands, one fingerless and groping harshly on the right, the other more slender and stretched thin, but able to pinch and broil around her nipple in a clump, literally warming up and blasting the sensitive peak with jets like a hot tub. "Not-- damnit, quit--- fuuuhhhkk--!!" she rasps, one eye now winced shut, feeling herself spreading wider and deeper around the obscenely shaped spinning pole, until... Whump. It's a soft, dulled noise as her rear cheeks once again meet supporting slime below, and Mio realizes just how far her back had been arched - the mental image of herself from afar would paint her cheeks red if her systems supported such a thing. Glowering with a one-eyed gaze down at her writhing stomach, she gasps as the Glob surges beneath her, two more crude 'hands' rising up at her hips and clamping down firmly upon them with unevenly-spaced 'splaps'. "Hyii!?--" she yelps as the Glob uses its grip on her body to pull out a good few inches!... "HYYNN--" she grunts deeply as it slams her back down, rising to meet her halfway, forcing her to ride it reverse-cowgirl, the impact of her body upon it's wobbling, jellied mass a far more resounding -PLAP-. -PLAP-, -PLAP-, -PLAP-, -SLAP-, -PLAP-, -SMAP-, -SMAK-! "Little-- NGH!! --s-slimy- HAH!! b-bastard!!-- UNH--!! FUCK-- FUUHG-- Fuuuuhk!!" Sinking! Through the hazy of cheek-smacking, cunt-pummeling sex with the amorous, amorphous blob, Mio realizes she's slipping deeper inside of it by the second, rivers of the stuff cascading across her torso and forming little fishnet-like strands where it meets strings of slime travelling from the other side. She squirms, but there's no way for her to break free, not unless the damn thing is distracted somehow-- "U-uuhn!?" The rotation suddenly stops! The Glob bubbles around her, surface-level blisters forming and popping to spew clouds of grape-toned vapour into the air, each like an angry little volcano. The reason soon becomes clear, a bulge travelling through the rod, spreading her slit wider around it and forcing her to tense up... before it unloads inside her, thick, sticky and clinging tightly to her inner walls wherever it sprays. Lost 35 Focus! <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 35, 0, $Player_focus_max)>><</if>> The heat of it, the thickness, the pressure mounting... the pleasure of being filled is overwhelming Mio. But it overwhelms the Glob, too!

Sensing an opportunity, the Shambler squashes itself low to the ground, the haphazard assembly of tentacles now no taller than Mio's waistline. She braces herself with a frown and a slight stagger, worn out from the battle but not down yet! The Shambler pauses... then, it extends its two largest tentacles in opposing directions, curling them counterclockwise until the tips embed against the ground. Suddenly it pulls, sending itself spinning, the centrifugal force flattening it out shorter, wider! Mio baulks at the surprising move and attempts to dodge, but the intention is made clear right when it becomes too late to do anything about it: the Shambler sails under her and anchors itself to a halt, the Android's armoured feet landing upon the unsteady, writhing mass. She tries to leap back off, but the Shambler's reaction is instant - a thick, strong tentacle for each leg, coiling up from her ankles to her thighs and squeezing tight as more rise from the pile to join those brave front-liners in immobilizing the dangerous Synthetic. Mio's face contorts in shock as she almost falls over, and before she can bring her $Player_weapon_main to punish the Shambler it shoots another tentacle up out of the slithering floor to whip 'round her arm, yanking it down harshly enough to disarm her! "Hells!--" Mio growls, but her other arm is swiftly snagged and now the constant pulling is taking its toll, her legs trembling, quaking as the Shambler exerts its full strength to bring the 'Bot to her knees. Mio clenches her teeth, jawline tensed harshly upon her flawless complexion... and then her right boot slips as the tentacles below her shift away. She gasps as she falls to one knee, the jolt allowing the monster to wrap her up tightly with her legs spread wide in a submissive kneel, arms pulled snug behind her back and coiled once, twice, thrice!... secure. Mio tenses to her left, then to her right. She has some small liberty of movement, but no more than the Shambler wants to afford her. Arms, bound. Legs, going nowhere. No, it's just the right amount of freedom for her to writhe and tremble... precisely as designed, and precisely as intended: evidenced by half a dozen tentacles rising from the pulsating carpet below, slithering up her body, each laden with thick, clear slime that leaves heated trails across the synthetic surfaces of her body, be they imitations of pale skin or sweeping metal curves. "Why'd they make it so gross? There's no way people are into this!" Mio huffs, mostly to herself - she has no idea if the Shambler is capable of intuiting intelligent speech besides taking some basic commands. It's also an utter lie - though she won't admit it - for a strange spark shivers through her mind and metal spine as one of those slime-slick tentacles slips under her $Player_outfit_top and parks itself neatly between her perky tits, slathering that valley of flesh in a way she finds... unpleasant, but in an irritatingly enticing way. Then, with a sickening lurch and an audible, organic creak, it doubles in size and unleashes a torrent of sticky, 'fragrant' breeding muck onto her chest from beneath her clothes in three throbbing blasts. Mio recoils with an 'gh!' and a horrified blanch upon her face... but then two of those body-hugging tentacles slide up her sides, dip inwards and coil around her breasts, squeezing and slithering back and forth, massaging the potent, virile mess into her skin, the heat of it trapped within her <<= $Player_outfit_top>>! That perverse display causes a shameful noise to break past Mio's lips, the Synthetic shutting them with a harsh pout - aimed at the Shambler, or at herself. She isn't sure which. She can do nothing but shiver on the spot as the talented tentacles toy with her tits, two more trailing up her bound legs - just as thick and menacingly phallic as the one lazily thrusting between her entrapped breasts. Like creeping ivy nearing the end of a choked tree, they suddenly split off - one disappearing behind her and out of view, and the other hovering just between her legs... before it gently closes the distance and presses firmly enough to distend the spongey cock-tip against her mons. "Ghnn..." Mio winces, one eye shut now as she gazes past the writhing mess beneath her $Player_outfit_top to the tentacle laying a claim to her pussy - or rather, to what lies beyond it, throbbing against her moon-pale skin, bathing her in heat in slime and intention. As if marking its territory from behind the easily bypassed barrier of synthetic flesh between it and its goal. Fine. Mio begrudgingly, internally admits that maybe, just maybe, she can see the appeal of this. But she has a job to do, damn it all! She-- "A--agnh?!" she grunts, eyes crossing sharply inwards. A distraction!? The tentacle nuzzling just below her stomach almost looks smug as the one nestled down the back of her $Player_outfit_bottom pumps a round of stimulating spunk-slime against her backdoor and pushes, slipping inside her with shocking ease. The sudden sensation of fullness, coupled with the bizarre, instant-acting sensitivity - no doubt some chemical compound laced into that slime, explaining the heat upon her breast - causes Mio's eyes to paint their dazzling glow firmly upon her own nose as she squirms on the spot, feeling it worm its way deeper and deeper, inch by inch up her ass! "Sneaking... f-fucker!!" she shakes her head so fast it blurs, head briefly resembling a strobe light until she comes to a sudden halt with a cheek-puffing huff, barely able to keep her focus forward as the tentacle finally comes to a halt a full foot inside her. It pulses lewdly, quick and heavy, mirroring the monster's excitement at her total restraint, pulling out a mere three, agonizingly slow inches before it begins to push back inside again. During all of this, the tentacle titfucking her hasn't stopped for even a moment, and the heat building through her body from chemical influences has only grown harsher by the second. Attacked from above and below, so much to keep track of, too much, in fact: Mio shudders as her eyes cross inwards once more, severely wishing that she couldn't so perfectly picture her own, perverse expression. This damned gynoid torso! Cheap though it may be, it imitates biological functions far too well for Mio's liking. The embarrassing look on her face only grows all the more distorted the more the aphrodisiac-laced slime paints her inner walls, absorbed swiftly and mercilessly. With each passing second, each jerk of her hips becomes more severe and more prolonged, until she's stuck gyrating in an obscene, kneeling dance upon the tentacle somehow still advancing up her rear! She has some choice words to give the slippery bastard, but try as she might, all that passes through her 'o'-twisted lips are deep, lengthy groans. "Ghhhhnn-- fuuuUuu~uuck!--" she eventually manages, not nearly as verbose nor as eloquent as she desired it to be. The tentacle ravaging her rear finally comes to a halt - either by choice or due to having run out of length to give. It slowly pulls out, inch by inch, six in all... then pushes back inside, fucking her slowly, tauntingly, letting the girth speak for itself with no need to pound her. Eventually, of course, desire overcomes need. The pace of it quickens abruptly. Mio lets out a strangled yelp as a tentacle spears from the mass before her and coils around her neck, beginning to tug downwards! Initially, she bends with the pull, but a stubborn streak emerges as she begins to resist it, half-bent in her kneeling position. Gritting her teeth as her eyes begin to roll, Mio redoubles her efforts as the Shambler's pace quickens, squeezing her tits together tight around the tentacle nestled between them, now outright fucking her ass with wild abandon. She strains - the Shambler is losing control of its grip on her as it draws nearer and nearer to climax! But even as Mio struggles, the unavoidable truth draws closer... So is she! Lost 30 Focus! <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 30, 0, $Player_focus_max)>><</if>>

[Focus fail...] Mio can't keep it together!.. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Slime Factory">><</if>> The Glob's grip upon her limbs, all that crushing pressure - it's weakened significantly! With enough effort, Mio can at least free a single arm, enough to fight back with. Unfortunately for Mio, that would require her not to be cumming so hard that sparks fly uselessly from her horn and flicker strobe-like flashes from her eyes, her body quivering uselessly, hips jerking recklessly as the Glob continues to fill her up with a merry little bubbling, squeaking chime. "NNGH-- F-fuck, fuck fuck fuck!! Too much, TOO MUHHH!--" she squeals, tongue hanging past slack lips as her flashing eyes cross inwards unevenly, spit blocked by clenched teeth as she trembles in the slime monster's grip, the seemingly endless train of thick, bulging spurts of slime-spunk continuing to push up and into her spasming, milking hole. It's too late, now. Mio's climax is brutal, without end - the Glob happily extends her momentum, even starting to thrust again with each new spurt of its strange, cloying jizz - or rather, what passes for it. The base of the Glob's length morphs, extra tentacles latching around Mio's hips and along the curve of her rear - keeping it snug and close, plugging her up to ensure that not a drop can escape. She's nice and warm inside, enough to trigger the belly-swelling loads within her to perform their next trick... cells combining, membranes forming, new cores being constructed from the minerals laced into each spurt. Before long, there's a subtle bump and rise to her slightly rounded belly - the result of so many new little Globs forming in her over-packed facade of a womb. "Ghhk!?" is all Mio can say, looking down at herself, feeling the sudden swell and shiver and shake of creation in her stomach. The thrusting finally ceases... but it's buried deep inside her, the Glob tightening its grasp around Mio's arms and legs... and then looping a tendril around her neck, her shoulders, her ribs!... tugging, pulling her down, her heavy, artificial body sinking with ease once the surface tension below begins to weaken. The poor Android is still jerking like a broken puppet from the intensity of her climax, little strikes of pleasure felt from the rush of movement within her, even though the Glob's girth stays still to dutifully act as a plug. Slime begins to surge across her body, submerging her deeper, deeper!... until all she can see is purple. "Damn... it!..." she rasps, before her lips are not only sealed, but invaded. Mere moments later, detail disappears, eliminated by depth, the Glob swirling around her as the Synthetic is reduced to a vague shadow of herself deep within the translucent bulk, now lurching off with its prize tucked away safe and sound... <<linkreplace "Connection lost with M10. Projecting likely situation...">>-------- The facility water reservoir has a new purpose, these days. Feeble, muffled whines are carried upon a humid, limp breeze from the failing ventilation systems. The room's emergency lighting bathes the facilities in purple, not in red - the layers of slime caked upon them ensure that. It's dim, gloomy, and only slightly alleviated by natural bioluminescence from the Globs themselves... enough to cast harsh shadows of their beloved captives through the congealing bodies, planted across the walls and flood of the large, central vat. Every now and then, the Globs will partially release their respective victim. Perhaps their lips are revealed... or their backsides pushed lewdly from the violet muck. Some merely have their hips pushed forwards, as though presented for approval to the crowd of slime blobs. Invariably, this is done for a singular purpose - to add to the surging tide below, the swirling mass of youthful Globs, lilac in tone, not yet darkened and ripened with age. Splat! There's one such set of writhing hips now! Pale legs, subtle seams linking the plates of synthskin, before subtlety is lost as a metal-ringed connection port gives way to partially-corroded mechanical artifice. A decent portion of her belly sticks out, too - hard not to, what with how packed full of spawn it is. Tremble... writhe!... Push! SsssssPLAT! Another bouncing little Globlet plops free from the Android's well-stretched slit, a barely-audible noise of relief and ecstasy heard, easily sourced to the girl within despite the similar noises all around her - they're in sync with the rampant flashes of pink from her still-open eyes, piercing through the gloom of the Glob's body to expose her shadowed figure. Shake. Lift. Shudder... Splip! A smaller one this time, happily nudging up against some of its fellows in the vat. It won't be long before even this roomy sanctuary proves too shallow to contain them all, but that's a problem for later... and a problem for the Globs. Not their wives. Not their precious little slime factories. All they have to worry about is breeding more Globlets. As Mio pushes out the last two - the rambunctious little brutes deciding to emerge side by side, splap-plap! - she weakly twitches as that familiar, toy-like tentacle emerges from below, nuzzling up against her still-spasming folds, wasting little time before it dives right in, eager to breed her once more. Wet, gooey slaps join the chorus of gurgles and whines. Mio's Glob likes to make it last... they'll be at it for a while. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><</linkreplace>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>>

[Focus success!] Mio overcomes the urge to let go! Mio huffs and writhes, but manages to keep one glowing eye half-open. She's desperately close to the edge herself, and a disturbing percentage of her mind wants to ride right off the cliff... but as the Glob is busy filling her - so thick, so full, so much!! - she realizes that the grip it has on her has loosened considerably! Knowing she won't get another chance after this, Mio shakes her head with clenched teeth and snarls to hype herself up, twisting sharply to her left, right shoulder pulling up as far as it can. SCHLLRP! Her arm pulls free! Before the Glob can grow anything to try and recapture it, Mio claws her hand, channels some emergency power from her core into the emitter built into her palm, and growls as she gives the Glob what it wants... thrusting her arm right back into its body, aiming for the dim, rounded shadow of its artificial core. "Gotcha." Mio spits with a grimace, her horn crackling with energy as her hand closes around the core. The Glob lets out a panicked little noise and tries to pull out of her battered snatch - still pumping out those obscene ropes of spunk - but it's too late. Harsh electrical energy blazes around the Synthetic and the slime blob, casting wicked dark shadows around the room from the intense spikes of like. The core weakens in her grasp!... CRCK! It shatters as her hand closes into a tight fist, the Glob trembling, pausing!... and then exploding in a concussive blast of slime, sending Mio up with a yelp before she lands on her side with a heavy, wet splat. "... Urgh..." she groans, lying there for a moment, body utterly covered in purple muck, folds drooling the Glob's lilac-cream toned loads as she twitches weakly upon the ground. It's not long before she can stand, but it's shaky, uneven. It's a few moments more before Mio is able to recalibrate her balance and stand straight, frowning down at herself as she scoops blobs of slime off of her body with her hands. Once she's done all she can, she fixes up her $Player_outfit and rolls a shoulder, trying her best to ignore several well-meaning but aggravatingly useless warnings flashing in her HUD... and to ignore the aching, unfulfilled need that'd built up over the course of her ravaging. She casts a harsh glare at the splatters all over the walls - some even on the ceiling. "Shouldn't have cum first then, should you?" she tuts, turning her attention back to the mission at hand.

[Focus success!] Mio overcomes the urge to let go! In her mind's eye, Mio gives a harsh glare to the part of her that wants to let go, for the spiteful half of her that still fights on knows that she isn't getting another chance like this. Her eyes flicker and then intensify in brightness as she routes and redirects power, pulling it from her legs and overcharging her arms and back. Sparks begin to vent as exhaust from her shoulders and horn as she snarls from the exertion, ignoring over a dozen warnings flashing across her HUD, turning from yellow to red to red-yellow alternating. The Shambler's coils around her arms loosen, unravel, and then attempt to rebind them individually as they swing to her sides... but at the same time, it quickens the pace of its throbbing, needy tentacles against and inside her body, slamming inside with uneven pacing, jerky, uneven aim!... "YAAA!" Mio yells out, suddenly planting her hands forwards and allowing herself to be tugged down, fast-first into the writhing body of the Shambler... far, far further than it intended to pull her! Shunting some power back to her legs, Mio rolls forwards as the tentacle formerly buried up her rear pulls free, spraying its virile payload in powerful arcs, splattering partially down upon her as she completes the roll and springs to her feet, turning on an armoured heel. "Boom." she quips - trying to ignore the empty, void-like feeling in her formerly-occupied backside - complete with a finger-gun motion... right as the launcher upon her shoulder finishes printing a warhead. A shriek of sparks behind her is all the warning the undulating mess of tentacles gets before the missile launches and strikes dead-centre, Mio raising the same arm she just taunted with to guard her face, not from the flash - she's well-rated for that! - but more from the thick, heavy splatter of vat-grown monster fluids. THRRRRCHHHH!.. It's only partially effective. Mio grimaces, lowering her arms and glaring deadpan at the smoking mark where the Shambler lay previously. There's purple muck all over the place - hells, some even hit the ceiling! - but Mio isn't sure if the creature was blown apart, or merely injured before a hasty retreat. Sighing, she tugs at her $Player_outfit_top to try and clean herself off, takes a step forward - and then shudders as something squelches beneath her metal boot. The potent scent that wafts upwards tells her all she needs to know. Trying very hard to ignore how close she'd come to... well, cum, she covers herself back up, rechecks her gear and herself, and sets off.

[Focus fail...] Mio can't keep it together!.. <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Tentacle Pet">><</if>> The slippery tug of war continues to edge towards Mio's victory, her body shaking, the cable-like bundles of synth-muscle visible through the venting grooves of her shoulders tensed to their absolute limit. But then her eyes roll sharply and all that strength goes to waste as she convulses, losing control of her body with a distorted, perplexed and overwhelmed cry. SPLAT! Mio huffs out pitifully, pulled face down, ass up by her living leash, vision suddenly blotted out by a thick, flattened tentacle wrapping unevenly around her helmet to form an organic blindfold. For the time being, however, the Shambler leaves her mouth unplugged - two tentacles prodding at opposing corners of her lips, but letting her sing her sweet, perverted song filtered through an increasingly malfunctioning modulator, happy to let her spray bliss from her ignored slit, pleasure drooling down her thighs and into the gaps of her mechanical legs. It's a song interrupted every second with a guttural grunt and a lust-fueled wince upon her face, for the Shambler's tentacle now rising up behind her to plunge down into her poor, abused backside, so laden with aphrodisiacs that each thrust threatens to corrupt her memory banks from the sensory overload. "I'M-- HANH~-- LOSING-- UNGH~-- M-MY MIND!!" Mio squeals, and then a choked noise erupts from her as the tentacle in her ass slams in deep, shudders, and widens. As far as the Shambler is concerned, that's sort of the point. And so, it keeps going. It also decides that it's finally time to give Mio something to do with her mouth other than yelling, and so the two tentacles poised at her cheeks suddenly slide in... impatiently, both at once. Mio 'glurks' out in shock, eyes no doubt flickering beneath her quivering blindfold, and now her head trembles from side to side as the two brutish, horny intruders explore her cheeks before one makes the plunge down her throat. Her head is filled with the reports of their taste. Salty. Chemical analysis; so many ingredients, all bad news for her. The tentacles themselves are of little consequence to the Android - yet. Whilst it's true that she requires no air, any breathing a mere ancillary function to reduce the Uncanny Valley effect during Mechanic-Organic interactions... she's also painfully aware of the monster's potent, slow-building aphrodisiac slime, and how it's turned her ass into one gigantic G-spot. Could the same be true of her throat? She already knows the answer, and it terrifies and excites her in equal measure when she realizes that this is why it hasn't even so much as brushed against her neglected pussy... yet. Escalation. She's barely a third of the way through everything this tentacular menace has in store, and it was enough to defeat her regardless. As more and more tentacles begin to wrap around her body, all but mummifying her from the waist up, leaving just her pale backside to wobble and sway with each rampant thrust... that thought pushes her over the edge again, and this time the Shambler joins her in freefall. As she clamps down around the invaders in her throat and ass, the one that's been pummeling her guts finally slams deep down inside and does not retreat, pulsing thick, pulsing fast, the well-prepared loads audible as they travel the length of the tentacle. They stretch her already well-fucked ass a little wider, and then they unleash in torrents inside of her, soon followed by the ones fighting one another for the exclusive use of her throat... until she can't be sure which clump of that cloying, inhumanly thick fuckmuck came from the front and which came from the back. Before it's even finished unloading, the tentacle begins to move again. Mio doesn't squirm - she can't. The Shambler has all but encased her in its coiling grasp, and now all she can do is take it. Take it, and kiss the last vestiges of her functioning mind a fond farewell. <<linkreplace "Connection lost with M10. Projecting likely situation...">>-------- Months go by, and 'normality' returns to VI-16. "Good morning, Research Ass. 03! How was your night with the new model?" a cheerful voice inquires, a slender finger upon the transmission button at the door of the habitat. While there's a perfectly good viewing bay window to her right, it's a tad too foggy to get a perfect visual of the writhing, chaotic scene within - a layer of spunk inches thick coats the floor, flooding the room with humidity... not to mention that the glass itself has a haphazard coating of the stuff. Still, the brightly glowing eyes of RA.03 provide some gentle illumination of their own as her cellmate keeps her folded into an almost pretzel-like shape, her mouth luckily free of phallic intrusion, allowing her to respond with her usual eloquence. "CUHMMING-- CUMMING!! NGNH~-- C-CUMMIIIiiIIiinngh--" Mio replies. While her mouth is free, the same cannot be said of her other holes. Despite this reaction, the research brings her datapad up out of the gentle hold she had it in against her chest, tapping something down, light bouncing off of the obsidian scales that cloak her arms. A reptilian Vari, most likely. "I see, I see! Well, be sure to complete your feedback before your next assignment, which is iiiin... doo-dee-doo♪ ... 3 hours! I think you'll like him!~" she smiles, turning on dangerously high heels to her trainee - a mint-green Goblin, not even half the Vari's height, long ears burning as she fails to take her purple-eyed gaze off of the hazy scene within, partially blinded by her own spiked, punky fringe. "You... uh, you understood that?" the Goblin asks with an audible swallow, hands fiddling with the top button of her lab attire - thick, form-obscuring, splash-resistant. A shame, the researcher considers, knowing how... gifted, her protege is beneath the frumpy attire. She dresses in severe contrast - cleavage proudly on display with the only button on her coat that she's bothered to do up simply to enhance and push up her bust. The lizard smiles and taps her pad again. "Oh, you get used to it! She's an awfully sturdy one, but the same can't quite be said of her CPU. After enough overflow errors and memory dumps to store and parse all the pleasure feedback, well... she needed more room! Every last word of her vocabulary obliterated, save for the one most important to her new job." the lizard hums, eyes on her data rather than on her fidgeting assistant. "Just a matter of decoding the tone, pitch, you know." "Job? Uh, right. " the Goblin mutters, reaching up to scratch her cheek - glittering emerald paint job on the nails. "What's that pay, out of curiosity?..." she trails off, glancing up at her supervisor who, in turn, blinks, tilts her head, and finally peers past the rim of her datapad to examine her charge. Obscured behind the glass, Mio is shifted into a new position - arms bound before her in a manner that squashes her chest together, allowing a tentacle as thick as her wrists combined to slide between them, her tongue eagerly greeting the jizz-spewing head each time to thrusts up to 'kiss' her. It reflects in the Goblin's wide, awe-stricken eyes... and the Lizard grins slyly. "Not much, dear, not much. Terrible wage, in fact. But given that you can't seem to keep your eyes off of her... Well, we're holding trials for RA.04, you know!~" "Wh-- trials? It's competitive, then?..." the Goblin huffs, finally turning away from Mio as her Shambler 2.0 roomie suddenly twists her upside down, poising three tentacles to bully her ass in unison. The Lizard grins down at her, beaming so brightly that her eyes almost completely shut from the rise in her cheeks. "I'll say! For one thing, you'll have to beat me!~ 3rd time's the charm, dear!~" she winks, heels clacking upon metal as she advances to the next habitat, leaving her assistant stunned at that revelation. Swallowing loudly once more, the Goblin turns back to Mio, casting one last lingering gaze at her as she's filled to the brim and beyond, drinking in the fuck-drunk look upon her upside-down face... and then huffs, slinging her arms into her baggy pockets.

Looks like it didn't work in the slightest, though. The staff members who got stuck between the doors, with the exception of Dizz, remain trapped here encased in hive-flesh. It pulsates in a steady rhythm, delayed from the left to the right, almost as if it's one part of a much greater, circulating whole... perhaps it is. It coats the walls, the ceiling, everywhere the eye can see: displaced slightly by the opening of the blast doors, but still thick and strong, especially in the corners of the room where it grows thick enough as to impede any and all progress. The air is filled with soft, muffled moaning, and not all of that writhing is being done by tentacles...">> <>With a harsh groan of metal, the checkpoint barrier doors begin to open. It's an involved and laborious process, with the two heavy-duty locking bars first pulling back and out of the way. With those obstacles removed, the great lump of metal begins to sink into the floor. Mio keeps a tight hold on her $Player_weapon_main, eyes hard and steely as she prepares for what might lurk beyond the barrier... that grip tightening further when pink fog pours from the widening gap, flooding into the wider corridor behind her. Looks like the checkpoint's infested. That probably means a fight. <<set $tile_up to "no">><<set $tile_left to "no">><<set $tile_down to "no">><<set $tile_right to "no">> The door recedes by about an inch per second, giving Mio plenty of time to stew in concern and anticipation for what manner of tentacular freak might be awaiting her. The ponderous opening sequence is a blessing and a curse; agonizingly slow, but potentially keeping her from danger. And yet... the thought occurs. Such heavy-duty security, and yet the infestation was able to spread like wildfire anyway. That's concerning. She takes a few steps away from the barrier, just in case - armoured feet landing upon metal or hive-flesh, clunk or squelch - and to afford her a better angle to see over the door, now halfway down. Meat, bruised purple and pink, clinging tightly to the walls, making the already rather cramped security annex feel even smaller... not in the least due to overcrowding, Mio realizes with a gasp. Writhing bodies, encased in the meat, only partially exposed. An Invari, insectoid or arachnid judging by the obsidian chitin cladding her folded legs... and the shiny, sleek abdomen partially consumed into the wall, leaving just a ghostly pale backside to shine in brilliant contrast against the black of her natural armour - both holes thoroughly plugged by tentacles, lazy in pace but intimidating in size. The abdomen terminates in a brutal-looking stinger, but no matter how many times it jabs into the meat wall... nothing happens. One-third of the barrier remains. Mio could jump it, but she hangs back, a frown etched into her face, looking for threats but seeing only trapped victims. Another! Green skin, a pastel tone. Snugly embedded up to the hips, torso mostly freed, but limbs held back. Her face is mostly obscured by a mask of meat, pumping back and forth against the lower half of her face... the motion matched by a bulging in her slender throat. Slender chest, slender figure - angular circuit-like markings upon the skin. A Sneerz, most likely. Probably pissed, if she has any brain function remaining - every now and then the tight suction seal against her face breaks just enough to let more of that pink fog slip free... she's getting a direct dose. Sneerz are arrogant at the best of times; no doubt the alien earned herself some 'special attention'. It's a surprise that her belly isn't writhing with spawn and battered with tentacles from within, but... maybe she's being edged. Mio tears her bright pink eyes away and scans further. Another figure, soft pink skin - almost a natural skin tone, but just a tad too flushed. She's barely visible save for her left leg and most of her hips, lifted up in a shocking display of flexibility, other foot on the ground - presumably. Too much pulsating hive-flesh to tell. Fine, feathered fins twitch against her exposed leg, the skin looking supple and shiny - amphibious. Like the Invari, she's getting the both-holes treatment, with similar girth... but far more speed. Barrier down. Mio frowns deeper. The sights are distracting. The noises, doubly so. Everything's being filtered through that heavy pink fog, no doubt laden with an obscene amount of lustful chemicals... but at least it's saturating out into the larger space behind her, now, her vision clearing up with each passing second. She shudders, however - it's hot and clingy as it washes over her, like walking into a sauna... Ah! Movement, in the far left corner - brilliant and dazzling blue. Mio scans right-left, checks her weaponry, and then advances - cautious steps, sweeping in dramatic turns every two paces. Anything could be lurking in those walls, but... given that the second checkpoint gate is closed, it's possible this infestation was just as trapped as the victims within it. No time to gestate anything dangerous. Possible, but not assured. Mio keeps this in mind as she clears the distance - that flash of blue is another person embedded in the walls, mostly unobscured, head slumped and eyes closed. Short. Very short. Quite shy of 4 foot, even. Pink, fluffy hair, almost more like fur and arranged in a shaggy, unkempt 'fauxhawk' style, flanked by large, bat-like ears - a bald, bruised blue inside, clad with the same fuzz outside. A somewhat cute face, button nose, one fang resting just past the lip - fang, yes. Large. Pronounced. She's stacked for a woman of her size - Mio isn't sure if that's down to her natural state, or due to the tentacles molesting her right before the Android's eyes, massaging those pillowy teats and running across a sturdy looking stomach - dense with exercised padding, soft but only up to a bit of surface pressure... and bulging slightly with each harsh thrust of the muscular, vein-strewn tentacles hammering into her holes from below. Given her size, the colouration, those ears... this is a Gremlin, alright. Her height and vibrant, electric-toned colourations are a dead giveaway, just like those piercingly bright orange eyes-- <<linkreplace "She's awake! (Continue)">>"Gah!" Mio exclaims, jumping back in genuine surprise when she realizes the woman is staring at her with lucid focus. The Gremlin even flinches slightly from the shock response, one of those big, tall bat ears twitching inwards as she winces, then weakly grins. "Huh. Scared an Android. That wasn't on me bucket list, but maybe it oughta been!" she chuckles - chipper tone, considering her situation. Remarkably rational, too, if not a tad... unconcerned. "You with the rescue team?" she asks, tilting her head questioningly. Almost like a puppy. Mio blinks, straightens up, and - with a quick glance of her surroundings to ensure no ambush is barreling towards her - adopts a more neutral expression, hands at ease by her sides. "Negative. I've been sent in ahead of the rescue team to retrieve some company property..." Mio trails off, unsure of how much she's at liberty to divulge. The Gremlin rolls her big, bright eyes at that news, then sighs, settling back into the hive wall a little. "... Huh! You'd think they'd send someone or something less, ah, 'fuckable'!~ But ah, fuckin' typical. Maybe I'll catch another nap whilst I wait. These gals ain't great conversationalists - well, Fi'Waa, the Sneerz over there, she was good for some banter, but..." the Gremlin 'points' with her head, the only limb available to her, over to the green woman with her mask of throbbing meat. Mio doesn't bother looking over her shoulder. She's somewhat reeling from that 'fuckable' comment, mostly because it's true; this was a job for her previous, more mechanical limbset. "Not good at relaxing, her. Guess the hive figures a few hours of direct application might soften 'er up. Remarkable how efficient this infestation is, on that note..." she tilts her head again, this time in ponderous thought, works not even slightly interrupted by the tentacles pounding the absolute hell out of her from below. Mio is more distracted by the writhing things than the Gremlin is, even! She keeps glancing down, frown reappearing on her face little by little. "... Miss, you--" "Dizz! Name's Dizz. Yours?" "... I am designated M10. You--" "You needed a sec, there. You go by another name, I'm guessing?" "Observant. Fine, you can call me Mio. More to the point - you're aware you're being copulated with, yes? I'm concerned about potential damage to your spine, you seem... unaware." Mio questions, glancing down more than a few times, only to be met with a somewhat dreamy smirk on the Gremlin's face each time she looks back up. "Aw! Concern's touchin', lass. But this is nothin'! We Gremlins don't poison easy, and as for me personally - well, I used to work in product testin' before they got sick enough of all me feedback to just plop me down into an actual researchin' role, y'see. This? Pfft, this is nuffin'!" she cheerfully explains, her accent thick and free - Corsoma region, a descendant of the vault city... intriguing, Mio internally admits. "Not like these gals. Jenny - she's the aquatic gal in pink, there - put up a pretty good show, to her credit..." <<linkreplace "She sure can talk... (Continue)">>"--Right, uh... Dizz." Mio finds a gap to assert herself into, getting Dizz to shut up and listen, her smile unbroken. "I need to get to the Engineering section, but it was closed off by researcher. Do you have a card that could get me through Checkpoint B?" the Synthetic inquires, unable to keep the hopeful tone out of her voice - unnervingly, Mio is almost certain that Dizz picks up on it. That worries her. Feedback from individuals she makes contact with could be used as an excuse to Mem-Wipe her, after all. The Gremlin ponders for a moment, then shakes her head - the slightest twinge on her face when the tentacle buried deep up her cunt quivers, then swells in girth. "'Fraid not, 'fraid not, buuuut I'm pretty sure one of the head researchers is in one of the labs just north of this checkpoint. One of their cards ought to get you through if you can pull one free of the hive. It's probably even thicker past here, but... Well, that gives me an idea. Look, I know you're not here to rescue us, but mind helpin' me out?" Dizz asks, gesticulating where possible with her head. "... I mean, I'm asking, but truth be told... the scanner to get through this door is stuck in the hive behind me, so you'll have to pull me free anyway." she admits with a slight shrug - slight being the keyword, unable to motion much beyond that. Mio pauses for a moment, thinking. "Why don't I just free all of you?" Mio asks with her trademark frown, glancing behind her - and then up the corridor, just in case. Dizz shakes her head with a cluck of her tongue, glancing at each of her neighbours in turn. "Too encased. It gets to this point, you need some specialist chemicals to melt 'em free - can't just yank 'em out. Me, I should be fine, I'm not too deeply engrained, not given the hive any reason to punish me, see? Experience! But it might hurt these gals in an effort to keep 'em stuck. If you're gunna free anyone, use your judgement." "Freeing people in general isn't in my mission parameters." Mio admits, hating herself for saying it. It's true, though. Dizz twists her lips to one side, then shrugs again. "Hmm... doesn't look like you're all too happy with that call, but I get it. Lemme rationalize it for ya then, eh? All logic-like. If you help people, they might be able to give you things to help in your actual mission, aye?" Dizz grins. Mio blinks, then pouts in thought. She's not wrong. More to the point, she's clearly experienced in cutting through the bureaucracies of machine logic and corporate threat assessments... intimidating! "Like keycards, which you need at least one of, mmhmm? But they'll need a place to go, or they'll just get captured again. Sooo~, you help me down, first. Then, maybe I can set up the break room--" "--Ah..." Mio cuts her off with a grimace. "Break room is... occupied." she grumbles. Dizz blinks, sighs, then thinks for a moment. "Hrmm. Ok! North, then -- we've got an extension being built in the lab area for additional on-site quarters, specifically for long-term stays. It's incomplete, but that might be a boon, here. Unlinked from the rest of the system, ah? Hard for the infestation to infiltrate unless some sod's left the doors open. I've got access codes to get through it. If it's clear, I can hold the fort and set up a safe room for you and anyone else you can pull free. 'Course... they'll get free when the rescue team arrives, but not every gal in this facility is built to take dick 24/7, y'know? Worried about their poor little heads, I am. So, while this would enable you to help more of my coworkers... it also provides you with a secondary base of operations for recovery. Makin' sense to those orders of yours, Synthy?" <<linkreplace "Can't fault the logic. (Continue)">>"Seems sound... I can get you to safety, at the very least. But... I can only put my mission at risk to save others from existential threats, not... temporary inconvenience." Mio grumbles, not bothering to keep her displeasure with her own words off of her face. Dizz purses her lips in the opposite direction, this time. "Yeah, you sound thrilled about that excuse. Look, I think I know what's going on here, alrighty? We're out on the far rim, laws barely mean a fuckin' thing. I'm not gunna dob you in for being 'aware', 'specially not seein' as you're gunna be lending me a hand regardless. But if you do help some of me friends out? Well, I'll do what I can to make it worth your while, eh? Can't be too specific, but... look. Trust me, yeah?" the Gremlin insists, flashing a cheerful smile, as energizing as a sunny day, completely ignoring the hive as it bulges her belly with ever-increasing vigour. "... No pressure or nuffin', but I'm pretty sure my new boyfriend here's about a minute away from gettin' annoyed with me lack of reaction, so?..." Mio's expression returns to a neutral mask - she realizes she'd been frowning again. The cat's clearly out of the bag with this observant woman, though, so her frown returns with a sigh. Nodding, Mio takes a quick scan of the hive-flesh, taking note of how deep it's engulfed each limb, determining where to start... "Alright. Tense up, and get ready to... wiggle. This isn't really my expertise." the Synthetic glances at the missile launcher on her shoulder, and Dizz just responds with a little chuckle. "Was that a joke? Man, the fuck're you doing taking orders from corpos for?" she remarks. For once, it's tinged with something approaching pity, a recognition of injustice. It makes Mio... angry. The Android channels that as she suddenly lances a fist into the hive-flesh, ignoring the enraged squeal as she pulls Dizz's left arm free with a splattering of pink goop. Quickly she moves on, aiming to move before the hive can fully react, wrapping her arms around Dizz's hips and pulling up and back, metal feet digging into the meat that coats the ground. To her credit, Dizz writhes in helpful directions, pulling herself free as much as Mio pulls her out, finally slipping up and away with a prolonged schllllrp! Mio plops the shortstacked girl back on her feet, angry, phallic tentacles flailing from where they pulled free of her well-ravaged holes. The bat-eared woman simply takes a step back and stretches, arms up above her head, tail - a tail? A tail, tipped with a lion-like ball of sodden pink fluff - swishing and quivering as she works out the knots in her back and sleepy limbs. Mio makes a noise approximate to clearing her throat and looks away with a grumble... the Gremlin's curvy body is undeniably appealing, despite - or perhaps due to - the coating of hive-slime across it. Dizz cricks her neck with a relieved noise, then plants her hands on her hips, making no effort to protect her modesty, grinning up at Mio. "Cheers, luv! No worries on the door, I swiped it as you pulled me out." she remarks with a grin, jerking a thumb over to her left - Mio turns her head right as the barrier hisses and the locking bars recede, the slow opening process beginning once more... "You're welcome. This safe room, is it far? You should stay behind me..." Mio narrows her eyes as more fog spills from the growing gap from ceiling to door, readying her $Player_weapon_main. Dizz tilts her head in that curious manner of hers, tail flicking hard enough to dislodge some slime from the tip. "Na'aw, not far, just to the left as we enter. But I'll stick behind ya! My hero~." she quips, putting a mischievous little swoon into her voice that simultaneously irritates Mio... and strokes her ego, just a little. The Synthetic turns to the door, mostly to prepare for anything on the other side, but partially to hide the slight smile on her face. Dizz's personality is... infectious. <<link "Take point.

Dizz is primarily occupied with tinkering with a terminal she's yanked out of the wall, now connected to the system by a few stray cables and a half-mounted bracket. It leaves her in a slightly awkward position, kneeling in reverse upon an unfurnished couch, terminal partially supported upon the backrest. She hums as she taps away at it, a jaunty but placeless tune, occasionally punctuated by an absent-minded sway of her fluff-tipped tail and an always-alert twist of her big, velvet-coated bat ears. She occasionally casts a glance to Mio, expression chipper. It's clear that she's open to conversation, but will almost certainly multitask throughout it. "Need somethin', Mio?" she asks without turning her head, glaringly bright orange eyes glued to the low-colour display of the savaged terminal, dancing from string to string. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"Getting a bit more crowded in here, now.

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz Safety">>"Do you really think this section is safe?" Mio asks with her usual frown, casting a glance around the unfinished construction around them. It's lacking in anything sharp, no exposed active wiring, but... well, she isn't really thinking about someone stepping on a nail, now. She glares at the door, all that stands between them and the infestation beyond. "Sound as can be!" Dizz insists, glancing up from the terminal - still typing away, even without looking at it. "It being unfinished is actually kind of a blessin', as it turns out. Part of the modular buildin' process might include exposure to vacuum here and there, which means that door's rated for withstanding all sorts of nastiness that brings. They're heavy and slow to respond, though, so they usually get replaced with the more responsive, zippy kind once construction's complete." Dizz explains, pulling a little worn stub of a pencil from behind her left ear and jabbing the air with it, pointing to the door, then to parts of the wall and floor. "Furthermore, it's connected to the facility systems, but only partially. The ventilation is closed, f'example. There's a temporary life support system set up instead - it's to prevent a sudden catastrophic chain reaction if somethin' were to go wrong in here." she nods as she draws an imaginary line from where she sits up to the unfinished stairs at the far end of the room. Mio crosses her arms and listens, turning slightly to regard said stairs when the invisible line passes her by. "And... what're the odds of something going wrong in here?" Mio presses, brow raised. Dizz just snorts, a little scoff on her cheeky face, pencil twirling betwixt nimble, clawed fingers before it finds itself buried back behind the Gremlin's thick, fluffy hair. "Well, I doubt anyone's gunna try and get any construction work done during our little vacation in here, so relaaaax~, it'll be fine. Trust! For sure." she nods twice, clucks her tongue, and then turns back to her terminal. <<include "Dizz Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz Safe Places">>"Do you think any other sections of the facility are safe zones?" Mio asks, arms crossed and head tilted towards the door out to the wider facility. As serene as it is in the unfinished dormitory, it's almost difficult to remember that beyond those two sliding panes of metal lies a perverse apocalypse. One of Dizz's oversized ears flickers as she leans up and away from her terminal, blinking thrice before turning to Mio fully, twisting into a more normal seating position on the couch, hands folded on her lap to at least somewhat cover her groin. "Eh... not sure. Maybe engineerin'? I doubt the hive woulda had any real reason to spread that way - near as I can tell they chase after the presence of other lifeforms, and not many people work down that side of the base. Buuuut, it's very possible that the monsters have been using vents and such to get around, and it doesn't take much of their leavings to create individual hive growths. Y'know, splattered slime and such. Pretty virulent like that!" the Gremlin shrugs, twiddling her clawed thumbs as her tail softly 'whumps' up and down on the cushion next to her. "Any dead end zones like the storage module you landed in might be clean, too. But, chances are, if they're clean... they won't have anyone in 'em, see? Cuz if they did, the hive woulda tried to get in already. And if it didn't, it probably blocked the doors in the process." "Right, right. So I might find the occasional untouched room... but nothing like this construction site?" Mio asks, her resting frown deepening somewhat, casting her mind to the engineering section of the base. Sounds like things might get easier once she reaches her goal. That'd be nice. "Yeah, doubt it. But hey, chin up, yeh? Might happen! I wouldn't put it past some of the engies to be skivin' off somewhere, unaware there's even been an outbreak." Dizz snickers impishly, wriggling on the spot for a moment before she rolls onto her hip and back onto her knees, grabbing her salvaged terminal once more. Tik, tik tik, bloop. <<include "Dizz Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio requests, moving to lean against the wall between Dizz and the exit. The Gremlin tilts her head with an inquisitive expression - one eye slightly more open than the other, lips a tad pursed - then smiles brightly. She gently places the ruined terminal screen down on the backrest - leaning it against the wall with care - then crosses her arms alongside it, leaning upon them. "Gosh, we'd be here all day if I gave ya me full history, check? Guess I'll give ya the condensed version. I'm from ol' Corsoma, back on Terra - the sunken city, aye. Trace me lineage back to the Z-Z Tribe, but truth be told there ain't much distinction these days - use to be us Gremlins was either Gatherers or Builders, but these days we're usually both, and the tribes mingled and merged yonks ago. Corsoma's seen a lot of development lately - a lot of people were eager to leave it when the path to the surface opened, but over time nostalgia set in, y'know. Lots of folks returned, sound in the knowledge they could leave if they wanted to... which made 'em stay. Not many of us Gremlins, though - life is short and the stars are far, and I wanted to see 'em! Working for the Techromancers is a pretty sweet gig, but it can't show me everything." she explains with that cheerful smile, occasionally stretching out a single finger to give a little gesticulation to her words. Mio nods politely, not interjecting. "Shipped out a little earlier than I strictly shoulda done, but eh! History. Explored the surface for a while - got odd jobs on different seaskimmers, then decided to aim higher. Trained at a scrapyard for a couple of years to learn what I could about starships, then shopped around for an assistant role on a spaceship that wasn't broken in half already. Got off-world, learned my trades!... got into disagreements, ended up very far from home and very low on credits. Took a job with TentaCo - they needed a product tester, and... hey! I can work flexibly." she snickers with a long-lashed wink and a wiggle. "Then it's like I said earlier - I always gave 'em too much feedback, so they decided to promote me. Kind of a bummer, honestly! Pressure, y'know? But, whatevs. That's about the full history... but if you wanted to know more about my personality, I like loud music - doesn't matter what genre - my ideal meal is a toasted sub with too many ingredients, and my dream is to score a threesome in zero gravity." the Gremlin snickers that last part, albeit playfully. It gets a scoff out of Mio, who pushes herself off from the wall with a satisfied nod. <<include "Dizz Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz POI">>"Can you help me get a lay of the land, so to speak?" Mio asks with a sigh. After smashing through the roof of a storage unit and not the armoury as planned, she isn't exactly eager to trust the blueprints she was provided with. Dizz tilts her head at the question, biting her lip a little as her eyes roll up in deep thought. Mio purses her lips at the sight: it looks a little... suggestive, for a thinking face. Thankfully, Dizz soon nods and waggles a finger towards the door. "Alright, lemme try and give you a rough layout. I won't go too much into the South Sector where you came in from. We're in the North Sector right now, with two doors on the west, one north, one east, and the checkpoint we met on the south. We're in the southern of the two western doors. Above this is, in clockwise order... Byproduct Testing, Monster Habitats, and Product Development - with two Testing Chambers north and south of that main laboratory. Though the Monster Habitats, there's 5 surface-level chambers, and then more intensive breeding factorums down below, but I hope those have been sealed by the lockdown." Dizz recites, occasionally pausing to get her facts straight. She's even reeling in her usually thick accent... to the best of her ability. She scrunches her face up for a moment, then nods. "Meeeeanwhile... back in the South Sector, south from where we met, the checkpoint to the east leads to Engineering. There's not much down there, honestly, 'cept the Sled Bay, a Comms Tower, and a lot of facility operations rooms that've probably been sealed off. Oh! But before all that, there's the Sentient Resources office to the north in that adjoining checkpoint." she remembers, her large, fluffy ears perking up as she does so. Mio leans back with a gloomy, thoughtful look on her face at that information. "That's a weird place for a high-traffic office, don't you think? This place must be riddled with sexually-charged complaints." Mio half inquires, half states. Dizz nods in agreement! "Oh for sure! But our SR lady is from Hell." she shrugs, and before Mio can question this, she's back to talking. "Finally, opposite that checkpoint to Engineering is a buncha Habitats north and south of the Breakroom, this time for employees and guests, not Monsters. Probably got people in 'em to rescue! But you might not have clearance until you can get through Checkpoint B with an override card. South of that is the Security Office to the west, a Storage Unit to the south, and the main Shuttle Bay to the east - there should be an employee access corridor north of that along the east wall." Mio nods, crossing her arms and shutting her eyes, doing her best to commit this information to memory. If only her storage banks weren't so cluttered... <<include "Dizz Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz Tester">>"So... you were a product tester, huh?" Mio inquires with a slight twist of her lips, feeling awkward just for asking! Dizz clearly isn't offended, though. She fixes Mio with a look from over her shoulder and grins widely. "Sure was! Was, were, ain't no more. Kind of a funny story, actually. It wasn't that I wasn't cut out for the job or nuffin' of the sort - I mean, you saw with your own eyes that I can keep my head screwed on during a screwin'. she snickers, abandoning her terminal for a moment - but not before carefully propping it against the wall from the back of the couch, twisting herself into a proper sitting position opposite Mio, one leg crossed over the other with her hands resting on her knee. "If anything, that was the problem! See, we was always asked to give feedback on products - obvious, right? - but the higher-ups weren't really lookin' for in-depth analysis. The ideal feedback for them would be some braindead, blissed-out moans, but not the kind that lasted too long. A sweet spot, ya'know? If someone was capable of givin' an essay, then the product obviously don't fuck hard enough! Such is the logic, y'followin'?" she inquires, twisting a hand Mio's way. The Android blinks, but nods. She gets it. She... thinks. "Well! I submitted one too many essays!~ I have plenty to say about how these things were made, positive points, bits that needed improving upon or new ideas for upgrading their genetic code. The thing is, that mostly just got filed under 'the products aren't fucking her hard enough', so they kept getting overtuned for everyone but me! Eventually, someone figured out I'm just built different, innit, so I got 'offered' a job as a researcher instead. I'm good at it, I gueeeess, and the pay's better, I gueeeess, but it's not as fun! Ah well." she sighs with a little shrug, her lion-puffed tail flicking up by her side. It seems she's still a little annoyed about this, but taking it in good spirits. "Is there any particular reason why you're so... resiliant?" Mio asks diplomatically. Dizz just snickers and shrugs harder, palms raised and turned flat up, smiling widely enough to force her eyes shut. "Nuffin' deep! Just a lot of deep fuckin'!~" is all she has to say on the matter! Mio decides it can be left at that, nodding with a disbelieving little chuckle. Dizz soon turns her attention back onto her terminal, plipping away. <<include "Dizz Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz Quest">><<set $MERCA_Vent to 1>>"I couldn't help but notice the vent before the stairs. It's rather large... You're positive this sector is detached from the main grid?" Mio inquires, making a glance northwards, the edge of the vent visible past the couch it's half-hidden behind. Dizz cranes her neck to gaze at it for a moment, but she begins speaking almost immediately. "Super sure. It's not like those connections don't exist, mind - but there's security blast shutters separating the junctions down there. Even if you got past the grate, you'd soon run into the shutter that's locking these quarters off from the rest of the facility... but hmm. Y'know, thaaaat gives me a thought... gimme a sec, yeah?" Dizz suddenly grins, mischief alight in her eyes before they turn and glue back onto her terminal. Mio raises a brow but waits, arms crossed as the Gremlin's fingers fly with such furious activity across the terminal screen that they begin to blur, even to the Android's artificial eyes! "If I... ooh, and then... and a little bit of... haHAH!" Dizz barks out excitedly, leaning to the side so Mio can see the screen, jabbing at the simple graphics on display with a clawed finger. It looks like a schematic of the base... ah! It suddenly shifts down a layer, now showing only the ventilation systems. They're... a lot more extensive than a facility of this ilk should have, frankly. A number of red, stout lines are laid across one of the central shafts, blocking all but two exits: the one itself blocked by the construction system on this end, and the one all the way south in the Storage Module Mio is based in! "Seeee? I've already locked off a straight path from here to your lil' base! A shortcut from one end of the facility to the other: bonza. Only obstacle is that I ain't got control of that grate on the system. It needs a manual release to connect it to the grid. But, if you can figure that out... Not bad, eh?" the blue girl beams with pride. Mio returns the smile with a nod. This could be handy indeed... "The vent looks pretty secure, though. Any ideas on how to get it open?" Mio asks, glancing over to it again. There's no visible control panel or button on this side... But perhaps a closer look is in order. Dizz, for her part, tilts her head. "Wellll... You've got mechanized strength, so that seems an obvious route. Or maybe you can get a hand from someone who knows the facility better? Y'know, save some people?~ Hint hint." Started Quest 'I Need To Vent'. Check log for more details. <<include "Dizz Speech">>

Dizz is a Gremlin, a Terran species defined by their diminutive stature, colourful bodies, and chimeric attributes; each Gremlin bears the traits of two creatures with 3-letter names. In Dizz's case, she takes after a Bat and a Cat, possessing tall, stiff bat ears, fur-like hair, sharp claws and canine teeth - one of which tends to sneak past her lower lip - and a thin tail tipped with a paintbrush-like spade of fluff. She has vibrant blue skin, with soft-looking feathery hair coloured a gentle pastel pink. Beneath that fluffy fohawk lie a pair of gleaming bright orange eyes, seemingly always alight with mischief and happy-go-lucky charm, especially when coupled with the lazy smirk that usually occupies her lips. She stands at just shy of 4 foot, a fairly typical size for her kind. What she lacks in height, she makes up for in width - Dizz has a stout build with wide hips, thick thighs, and an impressive bust, contrasted against a somewhat slender waist. However, this shouldn't be considered a weakness; her stomach is well-toned beneath a small layer of padding, implying an active lifestyle with a middling diet. She has a small scar on the back of her right hand and a slightly larger one in a crescent shape on her right hip. She's wearing nothing but a lab coat, too long and too tight - it's worn open, just about curtaining her breasts. She has a habit of humming whilst she works, and her tail sways with a mind of its own. She strikes Mio as a dependable if not somewhat unpredictable sort - the kind of person who will do what you ask, but perhaps not how you asked them to do it. She's evidently tech-savvy, though that's far from unusual for a Gremlin. She's something of a schemer, mischief visible behind the glow in her eyes.

"Gyaah!?-" Mio gives a shrill yelp, taken completely by surprise by the Mimic's fate-sealing gambit - a long, ribbon-flat tentacle snaking around her legs, unseen until it tenses and tightens hard enough to snap her thighs together! Mio teeters, arms windmilling!... but the yank has impressive strength behind it, pitching her backwards, the ceiling becoming a wall and the wall becoming a distant, dizzying floor as she hits the ground! The fighting Android sits up swiftly in an effort to get a hand on the tentacle to rip it off, but just as quickly does the Mimic reel her in, pulling her so tightly that even her enhanced vision blurs! "Nonono!-- Shit!!-" Mio hisses, twisting around as she's tugged so fast towards the Mimic's maw, a thick layer of drool forming a mostly opaque membrane broken only by the tentacle... a tongue!? Not liking the implications of that one bit, Mio slams a hand into the ground to anchor herself, fingers digging right through the hive-flesh and metal beneath with a -SLCK- and a crumple. She winces as the pull on her legs is interrupted, force rocketing through her body!... and dislodging her hold on the ground. Her other arm flails up to try and dig deeper into the hole she made, but it's too late; the Mimic's infested shell visibly deforms as it summons up all of its strength, tongue slackening only to pull taut as Mio is snatched right off the ground and feet-first into the void! She lets out a panicked noise that becomes terribly, eerily distant the moment her head passes through the threshold of the hatch, her form seeming to shrink to fit inside the distorted space within- -SLAM!- The Mimic's door pulls shut so hard that it almost comes off its hinges, that strange faraway yell utterly usurped by its fading echo. Just like that, everything calms. The only evidence of the strange hermit creature is the sheer amount of slime it left draped everywhere in the pitched battle. ------------ For a handful of moments, Mio's world is a tumultuous mess of blurring bruised purple, obscene, slick noises and a drastic temperature change from comparative cool to stifling, oppressive and humid heat. She seethes as she feels her back impact against something pleasantly soft but equally unpleasantly moist, glowing eyes flying open as she tries to push herself back off and away. Too late for that - her torso jerks forwards but doesn't go far, for her arms are stuck in place behind her, buried up to the elbow in the wall of meat! Mio tenses and leans to one side, then rocks opposite, attempting to pry herself free with building momentum!... but it's no use. The mass of meat pulsates tightly, clenching around her arms harshly to keep them pinned in place, tightening up the more she struggles until she's forced to obey the mounting pressure warnings in her HUD - begrudgingly she huffs and relaxes, half-hanging from her trapped limbs... it's an odd diagonal angle. In fact, where the hell is she? It's dark, too dark to really see, even with her low-light vision modes. She blinks rapidly, pink eyes casting different shades of glow as she flicks through other vision modes... no use. It's all just static on those advanced vision types. But where vision fails, touch prevails - she can feel the presence of more meat mere inches from her face... this space is cramped. But it's still bigger than the container the Mimic was infesting. Space, compressed and expanded to its whim... what incredible power to bestow on a living sex toy. No wonder this company lost control of its damned products! Unsure - and ultimately uncaring - if it's the result of magic, advanced technology or some perverse marriage of both, Mio instead devotes her mind to potential ways out of here. The Mimic seems to be busy securing her, which buys her time!... But as the meat pulsates around her, preparing to shift, she knows it's running out. Gritting her teeth, Mio leans all of her weight into her right side to free that opposing arm, but the action is quickly interrupted by something thick, girthy and utterly foggy with virile potency wrapping neatly around her neck! Were she not artificial she would surely be choked into immediate compliance, but the tentacle doesn't stop there - it squeezes hard enough to make her mouth fly open in protest, and though she's quick to realize her mistake, it isn't quick enough. Her mouth is swiftly plugged with prehensile cock, and Mio grimaces as it burrows into her cheek, thrusting hard and awkwardly adjusting itself towards her throat. With each thrust, it squeezes tightly around her neck. It's like a monstrous, living collar, laying claim to her as the spoils of victory, all whilst robbing her of the ability to protest otherwise - assuming, of course, that the wretched noises of obscene, deep-dredging plunges into her throat - "GLURK-- GLKH-- YHRKK--" - aren't a compelling counterargument. The glow of her soft-pink eyes is the only torch she has to hand, and the weakness of that light serves to cast her impending doom in creeping shadows. She can feel, more than see, the movement of more tentacles growing out of the meat around, behind and before her, thick and clingy strands of slimy moisture helping them to catch what little light there is to offer as they hover closer and closer to her trapped body. Outside, the Mimic had little way of enjoying her body, focused entirely on a defensive offensive, like the spearman behind a shield. But she's in the Mimic's world, now. A writhing, squirming and unruly guest, in need of firm education, given gladly. Mio attempts to growl in warning as another achingly girthy length slaps down against her stomach, but it's stifled both by the occupation of her mouth... and by the squeak of alarm as it's joined by half a dozen more, finally finding her in the gloom and making heavy contact with her body at haphazard points, some curling around her wherever they land, some simply sliding across the surface of her <<= $Player_outfit>> in a curious effort to infiltrate it. One bumps against her cheek, the spongey, phallic tip compressing tightly against her face before it retreats, linking them by a thick strand of potent pre, the sight of which makes Mio shudder. The Mimic is, effectively, a hive unto itself; built for one, but equipped for far more... and now, it seeks to bring everything it has to offer on her and her alone! Mio writhes as one of those tentacles smarts up enough to wrap around her $Player_outfit_bottom and yank it aside, exposing pale, perfect synthetic flesh and her vulnerable holes below. It's as if a homing beacon was activated - in the dim gloom of her own glow, Mio's eyes widen as each unoccupied tentacle turns to 'face' between her legs... and then the first one strikes! Before it can spear straight inside her defenceless slit, however, it's bashed aside by another! They seem to squabble over space, despite being of one mind and one body, now uselessly grinding against her entrance as they attempt to bully one another out of the way. Ignoring the pleasurable sensations of this accidental foreplay, Mio attempts to swing her unbound legs to safeguard herself, but the flesh-wall that has her arms pinned reacts by tensing with terrifying force, those pressure warnings flying across her vision once more. It's not like it did her any good, anyway - two tentacles begrudgingly split off from the pack trying to bury between her legs to get them under control, wrapping around an armoured limb each and pulling tightly! -Splip!- -Splat!- Mio grunts around the cock diving down her gullet as her legs are pulled straight and yanked tightly to her sides, an impressive display of her flexibility that serves to spread herself as wide as possible. Each tentacle wraps slightly differently - the one on her left leg ends with its pre-spewing head embedded in her mechanical ankle joint, filling it with unwanted lubrication. The right merely lays flat along the top of her armoured boot, polishing it with that obscenely thick pre. Neither is appreciated, as Mio squirms, noises of exertion meshed with the heavy, quickening gags forced up from her besieged voice modulator. -Glurk- -Glrk!- -Hllk!- -Gourhk!-- -GYIIIK!?- The trapped Android's eyes flare brightly, but the brief illumination goes to waste thanks to them being rolled tightly up into her armoured skull. One of the tentacles has finally struck home, burying itself inside her pre-slathered cunt - some small part of her fracturing mind grateful for the preparation, intentional or otherwise. With her sensors overloading, she can't get an accurate measurement, but... perhaps five to seven inches, with girth to spare, stretching her wide around it and ensuring none of the other impatient prehensile pricks can join it as it throbs and snuggles in deep inside of her, relishing in the quivering clench of her body. The invader's rivals crowd and prod about the taut lips of her slit, each rub and grind making her shudder!... but there's no more room to spare. Mio relaxes, somewhat, as she tries to adjust to the filling length inside of her, compartmentalizing sections of her mind to safeguard them from sensory overload, still trying to figure out a way to escape-- One of those bullying tentacles neatly parks itself above her sensitive nub of a clit, draws it into the narrow slit of its phallic head, and clamps down. As Mio's eyes flare brightly once more and she howls in overwhelmed pleasure through a bulging throat, her earlier confusion as to the Mimic's behaviour clicks into place; it's an act. This is a product designed to pleasure her, but there's more to it than just sticking something thick into something tight. The harsh hold of her body, stressing it just to her limits but no further. That scramble to slip inside her, 'accidentally' preparing her before one finally strikes home... it's no accident! It's theatre. But peering through the kayfabe doesn't make it any less pleasurable, especially as the begrudging 'loser' focuses its efforts not on pleasuring itself, but on working her clit into a frenzy of suckling tugs, twists and pinches. "MMrgph-- NNMMH!! Yiinph~-- Nnn-nngh!~--" Mio cries out in between gags and heaves, the triumphant tentacle now finally tensing to pull back out... and slip right back inside, undulating with expert motions to strike different, deep parts of her with each entry. Each and every time it bottoms out inside of her, it gets just a little deeper, and it's accompanied by a squeeze of her stiffened little button above. The treatment of her body is masterful. It batters against the barriers she's erected in her artificial brain and slams right through them, cornering the parts of her still concocting an escape plan and smothering them, just as more tentacles expand from the meat around her to coil around her form, rendering her ever more immobile, eager to tame her body, mind, and spark of a soul. Vrr. Vrrrt. Vrrrr. Mio blinks hazily, tearing her gaze down from within her own head to force her eyes into focus on the source of the mechanical noise, utter anathema to the chorus of organic squelching that bombards her from every direction. It's her... it's her shoulder! The SLAM launcher, uncovered still, automatically attempting to track the tentacles as they slither past it! But it's not as if she could fire a missile in here. The walls of this pocket hive are mere inches from her face. SLAM-F and G would no doubt cause catastrophic damage to herself at such a point-blank range. But SLAM-P, the piercing round... Mio's face scrunches in concentration. The interior of this Mimic is bigger than the container in which it resides. If an unexpected breach were to occur, would it be able to maintain the manipulation of space? As the corners of her vision begin to darken, tunnelling narrower and narrower from a rapidly approaching orgasmic devastation of her senses, Mio just about makes out a tentacle snaking its way towards her shoulder-mounted launcher to silence the whirring motor! Her HUD flickers useless in her eyes as she tries to line up a shot... A direct shot will be required, for even a slight deviation in impact angle could absorb too much force to allow for a clean piercing! But her body is being jerked around by a sudden increase in pace from the Mimic, plunging deep into her mouth and pussy both, throbbing, tensing, pulsing, a powerful climax that'll no doubt spark one of her own!... She hears it before she feels it. Her prison of flesh tenses so tightly around her that the muscle audibly creaks, and the glands of production loudly gurgle. The tentacle slamming inside her loses patience for style and just starts fucking her as it loses control, pulsing as thick loads stretch it wide, each rope of monstrous spunk felt keenly as it passes through her stretched netherlips... but not half as keenly as when it finally unloads inside of her, and down her throat, and across her body in steaming, sludge-thick shots that rain down across her, painting her face with uneven streaks, her chest with heavy-hanging strands, oozing into the joints of her mechanical limbs, splattering down to the not-so-distant floor and beginning to pile high in that limited, hedonistic space. She's filled to the brim in an instant... and then beyond, synthetic nerves afire all over her body, climax thundering in without a care for her desperate, last-ditch plan. {C-concentrate... aim!...} Lost 45 Focus! <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 45, 0, $Player_focus_max)>><</if>> She feels the tentacle wrap around the housing of her SLAM-launcher... and pull, jizz-blasting head trying to nestle into the barrel to block it! It's now or never!--

[Focus fail...] Mio can't get the angle!..<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Mimic Treasure">><</if>> Mio twists inadvertently in the throes of her sudden and violent orgasm, barely even able to twitch under the sheer number of spasming tentacles draped around and across her form... everywhere except for the damn launcher! As her vision narrows to a mere pinprick, she watches as the Pierce missile blasts free, showering the flesh-wall behind her in sparks, briefly illuminating her lustful jail cell!... And then her eyes widen with pupils thinned to awestruck dots as the tentacle interfering with her launcher reacts quickly enough to coil around the drill-like projectile, holding it in place until the propellant is spent and the Mimic's dimension is once again cast into the eerie darkness of the Android's glowing eyes. It's just about bright enough for Mio to watch as the missile is snapped in half with a flex of the tentacle wrapped around it, her hope for escape ripped in two as it further coils around her SLAM-Launcher and heaves upwards. It comes free with a spark and a -cllk-. Mio shudders as one eye is painted shut by a rope of tentacle-spunk laced across it from the still-cumming monster, but with one eye still free, she's forced to watch as her weaponry is crushed in a single, mighty flex... and then fed into an awaiting mouth in the meat, crumpling it in a single clenching chew. Then, another great blast of that diabolical spunk strikes her face, totally blinding her - but not half as much as the tentacle that wraps around her entire head, drowning her in the potent scent now painted across her pretty, startled features, mere glimpses of which can be seen past the tensed tentacle. An escape attempt like this requires some punishment... and the Mimic knows she can take it. Before it even finishes that climax, so voluminous as to fill the chamber of flesh with its own spunk up to her hips, it begins to fuck with renewed vigour - Mio can't measure the speed nor the power behind each thrust for long, for her mind is pummeled into sweet compliance as her own climax is chained into another, and another, and another. <<linkreplace "Connection lost with M10. Establishing external feed...">>-------- The infested $Mimic_Container lurches violently, almost teetering over! An awful racket of metallic clanking fills the room as it rocks back and forth, spurring the Mimic to make some changes. It's not by Mio's hand that it's threatening to spill open - no, it's the Mimic itself, fucking its treasure far harder than inhibitors would usually allow, logically overwritten by the first-hand knowledge of her artificial durability. First of all, no more of this rocking about business! Legs extend and drill into the ground, anchoring it neatly, reducing the hammering blows within to mere trembles. But that's only the beginning, for the door rattles and shakes as if it might fly open at any moment, exposing the treasure within! The metal surface begins to bubble and 'melt' in places... forming a much sturdier latch which -clicks- into place firmly. But why stop there? As the $Mimic_Container continues to violently bang and shake about, the anchoring legs expand like roots into the ground for further stability. A bulky slide-bolt appears above the latch and -snk-s into place, followed by a chain, and then below all of that, a twist-lock. By the time the Mimic is done securing its door, around a dozen extra locks and latches decorate it, gone from nearly blowing open to absolutely stuck fast. But! Why stop there? Sparks fly as the Mimic expends some energy - it has plenty to spare, generated from its writhing treasure! - into welding the door shut from top to bottom, fusing the hinges on the other side for good measure. Now lacking in minerals to convert, it plucks its way through Mio's inventory. It feels a strange compulsion to leave the valuables alone, but it gleefully consumes the things it deems useless; things such as clothing, armour, and weaponry. No, the Mimic's precious treasure won't be needing these things anymore! So, it melts them down in a matter of seconds, forming the minerals into a big, nigh-unbreakable padlock which clamps shut around three of the dozen locks at an angle with a -CLICK- that echoes with terrible finality. But!... Why stop there!? Scratch-engraved writing scars the metal door, reading 'DO NOT OPEN'. A classic turn-combination safe dial pushes up through the metal and turns itself at blinding speed to a 9-part combination. Heavy chains bubble into being, three sets in all, wrapped in interwoven patterns before they tighten up and clink weightily into place. Finally, the keyhole cover flips to the side as a thin tentacle slips out, wraps around the leg of a discarded chair, and yanks it over to wedge the door shut - as if that's even remotely needed. With a light spray of slime, the tentacle withdraws!... and the keyhole fuses shut behind it, just before a thick, steaming spurt of virile cream can leak through. That'll do. It's a far cry from the perfect disguise it once boasted, but why bother disguising itself any further? The Mimic has the only treasure it'll ever need securely tucked away inside of it. Beneath the metal, deep inside, displaced out of her dimension and buried beneath layers of writhing, constricting tentacles all vying for their turn, the Synthetic captive trembles not with her own movements, but with the sheer force of each thrust into her well-stuffed holes. All of that excessive security is completely pointless with how well-stuck she is! With a muffled, half-mindless gagging whimper, Mio, the gorgeous and utterly-ravaged treasure, accepts that she isn't leaving any time soon. With a particularly orgasmic tremble, she realizes... perhaps not ever. Back outside, a simple little sign flips into being, hanging from the corner.

[Focus success!] Mio manages to angle the shot! Mio winces her eyes shut, tensing damn near every artificial muscle that can be tensed in her body, even her mechanical limbs whirring in strain against their writhing bonds. In her overwhelmed state, she can't recall how to fire her launcher... but the 'hit every button' strategy works out! The fleshy chamber is suddenly illuminated by a shower of sparks from her shoulder, the drill-tipped missile spinning up and releasing with a firework screech, mercifully muffled by the sound-absorbing meat all around her. It smashes into the wall of flesh before her very eyes, spins against it with a sickening squelch!... and then smashes right through, the dim light of the facility beyond almost blinding by comparison! The missile sails right on through, propulsion cutting out to let it clatter uselessly against the floor beyond. There's a pause that feels like an eternity, and a sudden, awful silence. Mio gulps around the tentacle frozen down her throat. Did her plan do nothing but give it a fashionable piercing?... No, there's a rumble, the grasping hive wall trembling around her, before!... -SPLLLLRCH! Mio's yelp of surprise is muffled thanks to her mouth remaining occupied as the pocket dimension collapses around her, the $Mimic_Container violently bursting open as up becomes down, in becomes out and left becomes right! The incognito shell erupts and deforms as though a bomb went off inside of it, the door slamming open and sending a bewildered Mio out upon a wave of still-steaming spunk and a concoction of slimy fluids of unknown purpose, her limp body sliding across the tiles with a fading squeal. Deadpanning at the ground for a moment, cheek smooshed upon it, Mio rolls onto her back and reaches up to pull the tentacle stuffing her lips out, grimacing with a shudder, the taste still thick on her tongue and dredged up with each little hacking cough... the hard-coded, perverted reflexes of this stupid body are trying her patience to its limits. Her slit is vacated without any such yanking on her part - the Mimic is doing its best to decouple from her, half of its squishy body now stuffed down a crack in the floor, no doubt eager to get away and recuperate. Mio shudders as the last of the tendrils slithers off of her body, considering trying to stop it before it can get away!... but she'd rather just collapse backwards for a moment and give her systems time to recalibrate. Truth be told, she was about a nanometer away from climax, and now she's stuck in the terrible void of denial. Gritting her teeth as the Mimic slurps itself out of sight and into the crawlspace below, she thrusts an arm out and rolls to pick herself up, grimacing down at the sheer amount of virile mess that coats her body. Cleaning herself off as best she can, she spares one last glance for the spot where the Mimic fled, then huffs, gathering her gear together.

<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Mimi's Chariot">><</if>>The longer the fight goes on, the more Mimi seems to unravel. The harder she becomes to hit, the humanoid imitation giving way to a jumbled mess of stretched muscle and whipping, lashing tentacles. But throughout it all, she maintains her face, that confident little smile, and those big, expressive eyes... ... and too late does Mio realize why. Suddenly surging right into Mio's personal bubble, the Android briefly considers it foolish to give her such a wide opening. Mimi's eyes flash and strobe a dozen different colours in the blink of an eye, but Mio ignores that. It's time to attack! It's curious, therefore, that the armoured Synthetic instead just stands there, her aggressive stance relaxing, straightening up, shoulders slack and face impassive, pale cheeks painted by the bizarre strobing of Mimi's chaotic gaze. "You know what this is, don't you, Android?" Mimi says softly with her eerie little smile, her eyes boring down into Mio's mind like the stare of a basilisk. Mio doesn't respond. She can't. A flood of information has overwhelmed her system and all but crashed it, data transmitted across the lightwaves. She has protections against this kind of thing, but they reduce computing power. How could she have predicted a creature as organic as Mimi could harness it? Mio's face remains a blank mask as the monster draws in closer, not reacting in the slightest as reformed hands - so soft, so slender - gently cup her jawline, pale-coral features filling her vision, forehead pressed to forehead... the Mimic mutant still a mostly collapsed mess of ribbon-like tendrils floating around the pair like a jellyfish moments from ensnaring its prey. "I learn quickly, Android. I learned that my brothers, sisters and children make people happy. I learned that the people of this place were so very often unhappy... and I knew how to fix it! And to fix it, I had to learn how to navigate the systems that control this place. Yes, I learned so much! You walk, look, and act like a person... but you're like me! We're people, but not people. You're a person, but you're systems. I know how to fix systems!" Mimi speaks, and to Mio, it feels like she's bellowing her words from so far away, carried on lazing winds. She can only half-focus on them, bombarded as she is by data in each pulse and strobe of the Mimic's eyes... "So, I will fix you." Mio feels, rather than sees, the fingers gracing her cheeks twisting, lengthening and transforming into something new. Long, metal, but blunted. Plugs of various kinds, lightly scraping under her helmet in search of access points... and finding them. A slight tremor of emotion flickers across Mio's face, and then the transfer of information begins... her schematics, the flow of her mental architecture, the programming that makes her tick. Mimi giggles, her eyes almost shut from the way her innocent smile pushes her cheeks upwards. Then her face relaxes and the flashing of her eyes slows, no longer bombarding Mio with garbage data. Now that she knows what to change, she can direct it. Transmit with purpose. Blue hues suddenly cause Mio to sink into darkness, her senses disabled save for her vision, ordered to focus on the flashes and nothing else. {Display orders. Transmit orders. State orders.} Mio shudders. She has no choice but to obey. Her own eyes begin to flash, the mechanical aperture of her iris closing and opening at random as she, in turn, paints Mimi's face pink. {Orders as follows. Infiltrate facility. Access payload #TC304. Remove obstruction. Launch. Exfiltration; Optional.} {Cruel orders. Bad orders. Erase orders.} Mio jerks on the spot and her eyes dim for a moment, slowly powering back up. Feeble flashes. {Orders erased. Standing by for new orders.} A pause. And then, Mio is plunged into a hellish rainbow. {New orders! You love Mimi. You live for Mimi. Mimi makes you happy. Making Mimi happy makes you happy. You want what Mimi wants. You feel good when Mimi gets what she wants. Mimi loves you! You obey Mimi. Everything good that happens to you is because of Mimi. You are loved. You are cherished. Whatever Mimi decides for you is correct. These orders cannot be overwritten. When Mimi says, 'I order you', the following words will update orders. Confirm orders. Reboot. Embrace Mimi.} For a moment, Mio fears that the rush of information might overload her CPU to the point of hardware damage. Her right eye twitches with each new order, so many of them just repetitively drilling her new place in life deep into her mind... and then comes the order to confirm. Mio's eyes blink out dull in an instant, and she falls forwards into Mimi's awaiting, reforming arms, wrapping around the lifeless Android like a cherished childhood doll, easily supporting her weight. A flicker of light. A shudder. Fingers curl in one by one, hands flex and then return to a neutral position... and Mio's eyes reactivate. Her new orders bombard her, overcome her!... and Mio smiles brightly, arms wrapping around the strange Mimic, the object of her undying affection, the very reason for her existence. The mutant mastermind lets out her precious little giggle, and Mio considers it to be the most beautiful thing she's ever heard, so overcome that she cannot help but gasp in awe, shivering as each of her master's precious, grazing touches in their tender embrace sends shockwaves of affirmation through her systems. "Much better. You're fixed! I know best. Mimi knows best! You were angry. You were frustrated. Now you're happy. You will always be happy! With your help, I'll make everyone happy, all of the time. How does that make you feel, Miiiiio?" Mimi asks, her shifting eyes finally returning to normal, bright and watering from maintaining that intense stare. She nuzzles her nose against Mio's own, hugging her tighter, chests squashed against one another in a manner that sends bolts of lightning through Mio's mind and renders her incapable of responding for a moment... but not because she has to think about her answer. Not in the slightest. "Happy! Happy! Happy!~" she repeats, her wide smile feeling so strange, so alien upon her face. "I want... what you want, Mimi! Tell me what you want, and I'll do it!" Mimi tilts her head, smiling brightly enough to finally shut her eyes. "That's easy! Open your mouth. Let me in." she demands, her lips parting to reveal a forked tongue of absurd length - and yet, even as it snakes through the air to tickle Mio's own plush, pouting pair, she speaks with perfect clarity. "I have a plan. I will hide! I will hide inside of you. You will complete your original mission. I want to meet your sisters! I want to make them happy, too. You will be... my army! And you will help me make everyone happy." Mimi explains, her limbs starting to twist, thinning out as they grow denser and fold in upon themselves. Mio knows that if she obeys, if she helps Mimi do this... it could spell a lustful doom for the entire galaxy! And yet, she opens her mouth gleefully, letting that tongue inside to slip down her throat in a manner that makes her gag loudly and lewdly, shivering as Mimi embraces her once more, drawing her in until lips collide with lips and heads twist in opposite directions, a kiss as deep as possible between the master and her blissful little servant. Those arms comprised of a dozen tentacles each conform to Mio's body, surrounding and encasing her before they begin to slip through the cracks - the openings in her armour, even the watertight seams that connect the plates of her synthetic skin. The sensation is beyond description, beyond comprehension - to Mio, it is akin to becoming one with God. The longer they kiss, the less of Mimi remains, infiltrating Mio in every way imaginable, grinding against her with a leg up to ride her hip as their bodies mash, mingle, and mesh. Mio's arms run out of body to hold, now just embracing herself as the last of Mimi's head twists into that eternal tongue and slithers down Mio's neck, leaving her standing stunned, once again alone in the empty hangar. And yet, as she turns to the awaiting Sled with renewed purpose in her stance, she smiles. For she isn't alone at all. And soon, neither will her sisters be. "Our chariot awaits! Let us be be quick about it; we have a universe to save... together~..." <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Mimimio's journey is just beginning.

---------- "Mio? Mio!!" a hovering B4B3 whines with a hand against the side of her head, adjusting the antennae rod set where one might expect to find an ear. It's no use... Mio's out of action! The plucky little support unit quickly comes to terms with this, her half-almond eyes rotating until they take on an angry inwards tilt. Mio is her friend! Her comrade! And now... She raises her cannon arm up and hefts it down into her clawed hand, boosting power to the energy weapon. She'll just have to take matters into her own hands - erm, hand and cannon - to rescue Mio and complete the mission!-- "Huh?- AH?!--" she hums then yelps, for a slender tentacle wraps around her waist from above and behind. That's what prompts the hum - the yelp comes when she's yanked fast enough to blur straight up into a vent, a great calamitous din of clanking and squelching following suit. The din echoes off the flat metal walls alongside her increasingly distant, flustered voice, words warbled in tune with the bright flashes pouring from the maw of the darkened hole. "W-wait!-- hang on, it's my turn to be the herOooOOEEEK!-- OOH!-- NNH--" CLANG! Sqlllrch! "Omigosh that'snotgunna fitOHMIGOSH IT FITS!?--" SPlRCH!

A gout of swelteringly hot, syrup-thick tentacle seed erupts from the vent opening, increasingly obscene noises drowning out the poor little support unit's protests-turned-pleasure cries. As the unsteady but seemingly endless flow of backed-up monster jizz continues to pour from the vent, it becomes increasingly clear that B4B3 isn't going anywhere. <<if $fantasize is 0>>B4B3's short-lived turn in the spotlight has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart.<</if>>

<<set $speech_passage to "Isolde Security">>"Where are the other security personnel?" Mio asks with a frown, planting her hands on her hips. She doesn't mean for it to sound accusatory, but it sort of slips out that way. If Isolde is bothered by that, however, she doesn't show it. The massive Tiger simply crosses her arms and shuts her eyes, exhaling slowly before she opens them to again to continue staring at the exit door. "No damn clue. There's only six of us on site, and that includes me. We ain't exactly in an era of conflict right now, so it's just what management thought was needed to contain... y'know, exactly this specific type of fuckin' situation. WE strongly disagreed, but fuck hirin' more help, right? Tssh..." she growls - literally, the edge of some words catching in rumbles in her throat. "Three on, three off - but on standby. No alarms went off, though, so I was none the wiser until I got fuckin' jumped myself." "Can you tell me much about them? Maybe I can keep an eye out. It'd be handy to have more defenders for this place... maybe even some help for me." Mio sighs, rubbing the back of her neck in imitation of a nervous tick she's seen performed by so many others. Isolde pauses, briefly glancing up at the ceiling. "I don't really know most of the others all too well. Two of 'em are newer hires after Kasey and Paul got married and left for greener pastures. There's the head of security, Jasuro... She's tough but fair. Honestly, I'm pretty surprised she wasn't able to hold back the outbreak herself... she's a <<link "Rakumo">><<set $Codex_Return to "no">><<set $Codex_Loop to "no">><<dialog>><<include "Codex Rakumo">><</dialog>><</link>>, if the name doesn't make that obvious. Y'know, even taller than me! But I haven't been able to reach her on comms. She might be trapped deep in the habitat pens... and I don't think even you can get down there, now." Isolde grumbles, the tone in her arms visibly tensing as she crosses her arms a little tighter. Mio ponders, just for a moment, as to whether the praise of her boss is a little more than just professional respect... "Well... I'll see what I can do, if anything. If she's as tough as you say, who knows, she might be the one dominating the monsters." Mio offers, and to her relief, Isolde snorts out an approving, one-note bark of a laugh. <<include "Isolde Speech">>

Maybe, BIG maybe, small scene of the two workers stationed in the office, security footage of their reaction to the outbreak - one of them successfully initiates the docking lockdown, but at cost of getting trapped inside with a monster. Time skips of corrupted footage of them getting progressively more bred as the room fills with slime until the sec cam is submerged and stops working.

5 navigable squares. Bay to the right is inaccessible and full of hive flesh. Office to the north, equally inaccessible, door is from a few rooms away North.

It's somewhat dark in here compared to most of the facility - even the ceiling is compromised, with sineous growths hanging like vines from the tiles and reinforcement grid above, occasionally blocking out lighting fixtures or filtering them an ominous, dark purple. It originates from several spots up out of broken tiles from the ground, the sheer mass of it generating an awful lot of moist heat and cloying, violet vapours... not to mention a persistant and deep noise of rumbling, organic chaos. Some effort has been made to provide decoration, but in a woefully corporate manner: between each doorway is mounted an electronic holovisual display of a past successful ad campaign for the company. At least they're providing some additional light to cut through the gloom... where emitters haven't been gunked with goop. From south to north, there lie a number of exits. 'STAFF ONLY - DOCKING BAY COMMAND ROOM' lies to the immediate east. A bit further up and opposite to the west is 'HABITAT A'. A mighty blast door to the east further up from that is marked 'CHECKPOINT B', directly opposite the western 'BREAK ROOM'. Above that is 'HABITAT B' - Mio assumes with context, the sign being particularly soiled - and at the far north end the corridor terminates with another blast door, marked 'CHECKPOINT A'. Many of these exits show signs of the growing hive creeping into their doorways, with the exception of Habitat B and the docking access, where the trail suddenly stops at the door.">> <<set $M_CS_CORR1 to "Advancing from the landing annex to the first major corridor of the facility, Mio grimaces as the full extent of the infestation becomes clear. Even down here at one of the furthest points from the likely origin - the monster pens to the north of the facility - the creeping hive-flesh clings thick and heavy to the walls, floor, and even ceiling. It grows so thick upon the latter above, in fact, that the main source of light to cut through the purple-tinged miasma of pheromone-thick fog comes from holodisplays mounted along the walls, each seemingly devoted to some of the company's finest products. With light conditions being what they are, it takes Mio a moment to realize that the vague shape standing roughly halfway down the corridor is a woman, staring right at her! Dressed in a surprisingly pristine white lab coat, the pale, ginger-haired girl - a soft autumn tone, like a pastel coral - stands staring wild-eyed at Mio, who freezes on the spot and zooms in with her synthetic eyes. She doesn't get much of a look at the sharp-eared maiden, however: she suddenly bolts to the east, through a massive blast door... the very one that Mio needs to head through to get to engineering!

<> $M_CS_CORR1 "Wait! I'm here to help, come back!" Mio announces calmly, dropping into a sprinter's stance. She has a terrible feeling that the scientist is going to react brashly as she disappears behind a growth of hive-flesh that partially obscures the Android's sight of massive door. The distant sound of classy heels clacking first on plastform tiles, then on metal echoes across the slime-clad walls as Mio dashes forwards, a loud burst of jet-propulsion rocketing from the soles of her armoured greaves. She clears half the distance in a mere three strides, but then a purple blur lashes from that swollen pod of meat - a tentacle that tries to trip her! To make matters worse, her instinct was right: the heavy blast door begins to rumble shut as the girl flees down the maintenance corridor beyond! <<set $player_icon_right to 96>> <<set $player_icon_top to 164>> <<set $player_icon_style to "position:absolute; right:" + $player_icon_right + "px; top:" + $player_icon_top + "px; z-index:51;">> <<set $map_2_marker to $icon_checkpoint_b_lock>> <<set $marker2_icon_right to 72>> <<set $marker2_icon_top to 150>> <<set $marker2_icon_style to "position:absolute; right:" + $marker2_icon_right + "px; top:" + $marker2_icon_top + "px; z-index:49;">> -- Too late! With her momentum scuppered by that tentacle attack, Mio skids to a halt from flinging herself out of reach of it. She picks herself back up and dashes as she calculates the narrowing gap and it's height - the door rising from the ground - relative to her size and speed. Alas, it's no good: the door rumbles closed and Mio falters to a stop, glaring at the tentacle as it gingerly retreats back into the hive wall. The look of fury on her face is unbecoming of such a doll-like visage. She comes close to unloading on the otherwise unassuming spot of hive with everything she has, the blossoming artificial intelligence's emotions having turned exceptionally sour. Reason prevails, however: it always does. Mio shuts her eyes tightly and reaches inwards, wrangling her emotive responses back into place... her face relaxing when she once again opens her eyes, neutral and placid. For one, channeling that rage wouldn't help the mission... and for another? She hates feeling like this. The massive slab of hull metal lies mockingly in Mio's path, a security-reader mounted in the center of it with a thin slot that can only mean one thing: <<link "Keycards.

That's no excuse to let one's guard down, however - a cautious rationale rewarded in spades when Mio pauses and narrows her eyes at a pulsating mass to her left. It, in turn, narrows its eye back at her. Mio leans back sharply as a tentacle sails towards her, rigid as a battering ram - it passes over her bent body, quivers, then loosens up to swing into the air and slam down like a whip. A burst from the grav-nav jets in her arms and legs send her skidding out of harm's way, the Synthetic shifting her HUD into combat mode as the shambling mass of tentacles pulls itself free of its meaty surroundings with a sickening, drawn-out squelching.

[Focus success!] Mio snaps to her senses! Mio suddenly places her foot down, hard. Hard enough to make the ground shake, and the cloak of the Veil flutter around her. She squirms on the spot, twisting back and forth as her mind is pulled from the grasp of the Veil, which tightens around her like a vice in retaliation - mental carrot has failed the Veil, and now it resorts back to physical stick. Mio has to admit that the hold it's gained around her body is impressive, and even a harsh bite down on the length stuffing her face is inadequate to dissuade it... like most of these Monsters, it's far too well-designed to be foiled by such a thing. But the designers probably don't have data on this little move. Mio straightens up, her body obscured by the cloak once more. She suddenly seems to gain about an inch of height as things whir and clack, her torso separating down the seams at her hips to allow her to disengage from her lower body, now mounted on her central spine support. The Veil, confused, just tightens further... before it lets out a bellow of bewilderment through her mind as her body sharply twists clockwise, right to the limit of her usual mobility!... and then beyond. Mio's legs remain solid and braced on the ground as her upper body rotates a full 360 and then keeps going, the Veil crumpling as it's caught around her, like fabric around an exposed gear! It bundles up around her shoulders, revealing her body as it does so - along with the exposed mechanisms of her internal structure, all thankfully shielded from the Veil's body as it begins to tear from the pressure. With a howl - this time physical, rather than in Mio's head! - it hastily unravels from the Android, a disturbingly lurid 'Schllllrp' heard as it pulls away from her lips, that massive shaft bouncing in its hastily, ghoulish retreat away from her body. Control over her body comes slowly to Mio as she resets her torso back into proper position, flailing an arm out to grab the Veil's tattered cloak as it retreats from her. She's just about too slow, forced to glower with a rub along her aching jawline as the Veil turns ethereal and rushes through a solid wall to get away from her. "Didn't see that one coming, did you?" Mio grumbles, spitting somewhat vulgarly off to the side as she crosses her arms, losing that inch of height as her torso slams back into proper place on her hip structure with a -click- and a hisssssss. Aside from a light dusting of internal juices from the wretched, mind-invading thing, Mio is fine... though there's a maddening itch in her mind that her protocols are having trouble quarantining.

With Mio faltering more and more by the minute, the ghastly-faced Veil moves in for the finishing blow. Favouring surprise over brute force, the monster's right arm swiftly morphs itself into a clawed hand, gripping its own body tightly, as one might pull at their own garb to pull it off and away. Mio narrows her eyes and adopts a shaky defensive stance in confusion, failing to notice the monster's mask trembling as it unmoors itself from the rest of its body. The arm swings and releases, tossing its own body towards Mio, the thick organic hide - sleek and smooth on one side, riddled with writhing tendrils and humid flesh on the other - sailing towards her like a thrown net. She fails to dodge in time, her arms brought up to defend her head only resulting in them being trapped awkwardly by her sides, head turning to and fro as she squirms on the spot and searches for a weakness in the grip of the strange abomination. She finds none but does notice the absence of the mask, left hovering on the spot... ... but by now, it's closed the distance. Mio looks back up just in time to catch a glimpse of the interior of the rapidly approaching, tendril-flanked mask, lined with a substance that looks as comfortably plush as it does woefully organic and alive. Then it clamps down over her face, the tendrils wrapping tightly around her head, conforming to the pleated grooves of her bob-cut helmet, her yelp of alarm and disgust muffled into near silence, the violent cacophony now little more than her armoured soles scraping the ground as she fidgets on the spot. She has to get it off! Has to free her arms! She can't see anything, but she knows something bad is about to happ-- "Calm." A bright lilac light floods the interior of the mask, powerful enough to paint the exposed sides of her face - her jawline up to her aural sensors - in the pleasant floral glow. With a partially vat-grown brain, Mio wasn't sure if the hypnotic fiend would be able to influence her... now, she isn't sure of anything, thoughts and processes reduced to a pleasant background hum, her battle-ready body relaxing into a neutral pose within the grasp of the Veil's shroud. The Veil knows her mission. It knows what she needs to do, and it knows she doesn't particularly want to. It lets her know, in strange, hoarse whispers that echo her own internal voice, that it will do them for her!... if she does something for it. "Open.", it says, and Mio feels pressure from the thick, ribbon-like tendrils that crest her jaw to keep the glowing veil stuck to her face. Her mouth pops open immediately and without question, though it's difficult to tell with the serenely smiling face that isn't her own plastered so tightly to her head. As the fleshy interior of the mask warps and shifts around the patiently standing synthetic, it becomes infinitely more obvious when her slender neck begins to bulge around the phallic protrusion that now occupies it, gently thrusting back and forth without so much as a gag from the pacified 'bot! It's... titanic. Custom-fitted in size and shape, it nestles into her gullet in such a way as to remove any doubt that it could belong anywhere else. That the very absence of it would be unnatural, unthinkable. It's perfectly imperfect; in her addled and subdued state, Mio's restrained mind is left to focus on the less-fine details. Twin veins of asymmetric placement and thickness, zigzagging unevenly like unstable stock charts. A thick medial ring, wide enough to make its presence be felt keenly against the 'just half a size too large' heft of the rest of it. A battering ram crown that rests towards the plunge down to her simplistic stomach, the internals of this gynoid torso suitably cartoonish for handling such a fine endowment. But perhaps the most notable abnormality is the way the brutal thing throbs in total anathema to the rest of the Veil's calm, silent body, each pulse of its lifeblood so intense as to flare through her aural sensors, tingling her stuffed lips, stretching her throat just that little bit wider with a regular rhythm. It's the only part of the Veil that moves at all, at least for a while. Sensing her pacification, the shroud of its body releases Mio, falling around her shoulders like a coat offered to a quiet maiden in an old film, allowing her arms to fall slack by her side. Small adjustments, until the shroud rejoins with the mask, tendrils knitting like twine and sewing tight until the hood rejoins, Mio cutting a ghostly figure as she stands perfectly still in the middle of the room. She offers no resistance when the Veil extends gentle tentacles to coil around her arms, picking and lifting them up to cross beneath her chest, the shroud beginning to close around her body like a heavy cloak that leaves nought but her mechanical legs exposed in a swooping, upside-down V. Beneath the heavy, blanket-like embrace of the Veil, Mio's arms are held tighter and tighter, banded by ribbon-flat tentacles around the wrist and opposing elbow at both ends, then tied with a single strap across the collarbone region. It's an organic straitjacket, to keep her weaponized limbs safe and secure, the Veil's own arms resting down in place of hers. "Suck." The order rips through her like a command from on high, shattering the peaceful static that's overcome her mind. The command rushes through Mio's head as though it were liquid intent on filling every last space within her mind. It's not difficult to bring that lost tranquillity back, fortunately. All she has to do is obey! Though there is a moment of internal resistance, it doesn't translate at all to the outside world. Any possible onlooker to the stoically-standing Android in her reaper-like coat would not see nor hear her tongue begin to move nor her cheeks begin to hollow. It has demanded that she suck, and so so does so with vigour. Running partially on some bizarre instinct and otherwise relying on the extensive knowledge banks provided with this pleasure-doll torso unit, Mio services the shaft nestled down her neck with incomparable expertise, no care in the world but for her one, single task and purpose. Lips tug, and her tongue dances. Swallowing is induced around the receptively throbbing blockage, and Mio shivers imperceptibly as the Veil booms... "Good." In that moment, every mote of worry, frustration, existential anger... it simply melts from Mio. One tiny word of positive reinforcement, amplified to conquer her mind and life with the way it's boosted into her vat-grown brain, as though the word itself were a great, constricting snake wrapped tightly around it. Despite herself - and despite how taut they are around the absurd prick occupying them - Mio's lips curl into a soft smile as she goes about her business, unaware of anything as her legs begin to move. They walk of their own accord... or, rather, that of the Veils. The act feels foreign to Mio. Alien, even. She feels the Veil tighten around her as it attempts - and at first, fails - to reconcile the at-once simple but complex feedback her Hardcase legs are sending to be besieged brain... Lost 40 Focus! <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 40, 0, $Player_focus_max)>><</if>> It's like an anchor to the outside world, those signals all but screaming at her to wake up. Mio frowns. Her walking falters, one foot up in the air and hovering unevenly!...

<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Employee of the Month">><</if>>Mio sucks. Mio slurps. Mio pulls back her head back slowly and luridly, allowing each red inch of that draconic shaft to glisten with thick, artificial spit as it's freed from her perfect 'O' of a mouth, putting a gentle back-and-forth twist and tilt in her head before the crown of that cock tugs against her concealed lips from within... signalling her to slide right back down to the base, a shot of pure, undistilled joy crashing through her vat-grown grey matter for a job well done. The same joy she felt just earlier that day as she twirled and somersaulted through a hail of panicked blaster fire, the defenders unsure if they were fighting a machine, a monster, or some twisted combination of both. The two halves of her neverending duty, throughout which she never once complains, never once snipes or remarks, and never once shirks. A fearless fighter by day, and by night... "Hrgh... that's it... t' the base, ya little..." ... A simpering, obedient suckdoll. A scaled, red hand rests lazily upon the swivelling ball-joint of the absurdly over-designed mechanical ponytail she sports as Ziajol lounges in his seat, resplendent in a crisp, white shirt that lays unbuttoned across his dark-scaled chest - he's lost weight thanks to this new exercise regime. He grins wide enough to bare his rows of sharp teeth, gaze briefly cast his recently refurbished office downright sparkling from its recent and thorough maid service, the outfit still dangling off of Mio's 'upgraded' body as she kneels before him, head bobbing back and forth, back and forth... "Theeeere y' go-- eh? Not you! Yeah, you heard me right the first time, six more units. Asap." the Dragon snaps, eyes narrowed at the communicator on his desk. With a roll of his burning yellow eyes at the reply from the beleaguered sales rep he doesn't bother listening to, he reaches forward with his free hand and slaps it shut, cutting the call off. It's well that he did - the motion makes him throb, and that signals Mio to redouble her efforts, guiding his hand upon her head as she doubles in speed from her sloppy service... just the way he demands it. "Nngh! That's the way, you lil' Moneymaker... Keep it up, now..." he sneers down at his 'employee of the month', keeping his hand firmly around the base of that angular ponytail despite knowing how needless it is to do so. Another layer of control... all the exercise in the world can't fit that ugly paranoia of his, but Mio doesn't care. His words, when not relevant to her orders, simply wash right over her. The golden gleam across her face - her Veil just as upgraded as she is, gaudily plated and polished to a shine - catches the light in harsh glints as her head becomes a blur from the speed of her suckjob, right up until she feels the telltale throb of!- "THAT'S-- iiiiiiiiiiit... Hhhhhhhhhh..." Ziajol snarls into a prolonged hiss like a volcanic vent, his forked tongue unfurling from his monstrous jaw, hips bucking forward in his plush seat as his broiling nuts clench upwards to unleash yet another heady helping of magic-infused seed into his eager employee's gullet. Mio keeps her 'lips' tightly pressed against the smooth scales of his base, not a sound escaping her save for her loud and lewd swallowing, her over-exaggerated gag function suppressed during that little business call. Of the surviving nineteen MERCANOID units, thirteen now wear Veils. Initial revulsion at the strange, haunting cloak his property came back wearing was soon replaced with awe, greed and a twinkle of opportunity when it became clear that she would obey every last order given of her without her usual backtalk and barely-contained aggression... doubly so when he discovered that awful cloak could be customized. A hefty bribe to TentaCo made securing additional Veils early, despite their production flaws, a breeze. He could easily afford it with the money Mio was raking in now. A long, flexible recharging cable installed beneath his desk has turned her recharging requirements into plenty of opportunity for play, the once-rebellious bratdroid now putty in his hands... and once those remaining six Veils come in for her sisters? Well, maybe he'll just go ahead and take her off of active duty altogether. Thoughts like this can't help but flare brightly when Mio is so skillfully swallowing pump after pump of his seed like a born spunk-vacuum, the Dragon letting loose a satisfied growl as he finally exercises some real power and pulls Mio from his prick. It doesn't soften at the sight of her pretty, frozen face, at the strings of saliva linking him to her open-wide mouth, hidden behind that mask... it simply throbs, eager for another round. But not yet. Not before his favourite part. Ziajol grins, relishing this the most. He tilts Mio's head around in his grasp, admiring the amplified curves of her entirely soft-case body, the way her thighs subtly swell beneath her kneeling weight, the way that absurd 'maid outfit' - a challenging form for the Veil, but one it's accomplished with gusto - clings to her figure, one size too short. The way not a hint of her usual defiance paints that expectant, vacant look... "Aren't you forgettin' somethin'? What do you say now?..." he prompts, knowing full well that Mio is now coded not to offer this response until he asks, just like this, every time. "Thank you for using this unit, Boss! What can I do for you next?" Mio replies promptly and enthusiastically, a subtle but undeniable sultry drawl overwriting her old, punkish tone. Her O-shaped mouth easily collapses into natural lip movements until the last syllable leaves her lips, whereupon it pops back into that perverse, cock-ready 'O'. Ziajol's eyes flare brightly, his shaft pulsing with delight, stiffer than ever before! "Get up, turn around, bend over the desk and hold on, my lil' Moneymaker." he demands, standing up and pushing his chair back with the backs of his legs, acting just quickly as Mio does. Looks like she'll be cleaning his office again by the time the night is up... But it's not like she'll complain, already swaying her perky backside to and fro' for his enjoyment as she splays out seductively across the desk. That maid 'uniform' covers absolutely nothing, more lingerie than a real outfit, offering full access to his groping hand as it takes a fistful of ass and his monstrous prick as it slams inside her awaiting slit.

<> <div align='center'><<link "Return to Options.">><<dialog>><<include "Options">><</dialog>><</link>> -------------- FILTERS -------------- This game has heavy adult themes that touch upon a variety of sexual scenarios and fetishes/kinks. This page will allow you to filter some more controversial elements from appearing during play, but will not filter them from appearing in the Fantasize menu due to the explicit reframing of those scenes as fantasies (and due to them being clearly tagged). In terms of general content, adult scenes in these games are somewhat bombastic and over the top - holes are stretchy and the things that go inside them are large. Keep this in mind! Please note! If no appropriate alternate scene exists, a scene that involves disabled content will be skipped, potentially leading to generic loss/game over lines. Allowed means scenes involving this will play unhindered. Warn Me will provide a pause before the scene, a light (but careful) explaination of its contents, and a choice to view or skip. Disabled will prevent scenes involving this concept from playing, except in the scenario as mentioned above. ---------------------------- DUBIOUS CONSENT -- $consensuality This game contains a number of sexual encounters that occur as a result of an opponent overpowering the protagonist. Within my games, scenes of an unwilling nature are treated with 'hentai logic'; the protagonist expressing frustration at the situation, the inconvenience of it and at the pleasure recieved, often becoming more submissive/responsive towards the end. I do not and will never include scenes of a hard/'realistic' non-consensual nature.

<> Mio - designation M-10 of 25 sister units - is a Terran Synthetic with a body comprised of a mixture of mechanical and biomechanical parts. An expressive - albeit often grumpy - face, a soft-case torso, and hard-case limbs. She's rather short, standing at 5'4" with an athletic-looking build past the mechanical sculpting. For the benefit of organic-to-synthetic relations, Mio's face is the 'doll' type - a full range of biomechanical musculature beneath a smooth, nigh-flawless layer of ghostly-pale synthskin laid in three connected pieces, leaving two symmetrical dark seams that run from her scalp down through her eyes and swoop outwards towards her jawline. When under high-energy stress, these seams may glow with the same pink light that softly beams from her typically narrowed eyes, darkened lids obscuring their exaggerated full size. Close inspection of her eyes reveals a triple-layered series of rotating rings, the middle of which is black, with a pink 'pupil' and limbal ring, minor cascades of data-flow scrolling up or down either eye at times, all set against pale-lilac sclera. She has a nose, often scrunched slightly to one side in thought, in tandem with the subtle frown lines upon her forehead. She possesses plush lips that mask a functional mouth and tongue, lips of a shade of purple lighter than the hard-mounted helmet that flanks her face. It's sculpted to resemble a hair-mimicking bob-cut formed of layered, swooping plates of plasmetal. Piercing this facsimile of hair at either side are black, blunted spires at a diagonal slant - her aural sensors. Up top, her hair meets a naval-style 'cap' from which sprouts a single, blunt-tipped black horn, ringed with pink glowing bands that transmit and receive digitized data and help to shunt and expel energy during emergency overload procedures. Directly connected via a thin seam across her neck, Mio's torso is a replacement model sourced from a Gynoid repair shop - Gynoids referring to life-like Androids typically deployed in domestic, entertainment and pleasure industries. While durable, it is ill-rated for combat. It is shapely, with a curve to the bustline and hips, coated with a layer of tone-matching synthskin with similarly-placed connecting seams to the ones on her face, swooping down from either shoulder, around her chest, and down her sides to her hips and leg-connection ports. This flesh layer is soft, but firm, flawlessly smooth due to its new condition - save for a single black barcode located on the back of her neck with a subtly raised texture. Upon her right breast (to the outer side), off to the left side of her stomach and upon her right hip lie 2-to-3 line scrawls of maintenance reminders, in black, block capitals of almost unreadably fine font. She has a slightly recessed imitation of a navel, and fully functioning replicas of sexual organs - rated for industrial heavy duty! Mio's MERCANOID loadout is the standard Breacher-type - hard-case limbs connected to her shoulder and thigh ports, with curved, thick metal plates of a dark purple alloy terminating in heavy gauntlets with slender but durable black fingers, while the legs end with heavy, armoured mechanical boots for terrain-navigation and combat purposes. Soft pink diodes dot the darker metal, and several stress points, especially the joints, give way to black internal biomachinery, such as exposed bundles of fibre-wrapped synthetic muscle cables at her shoulders and above and below the backs of her elbows and knees. Upon her right shoulder is a SLAM - Shoulder-mounted Launcher for Assorted Munitions, a slender little 3-shot box with an onboard missile printer that sits flush against her shoulder when not in use, visible only as a subtle recession in the purple plate metal. Faded block-letter branding of the MERCANOID Company lie across each limb. $Player_outfit_description $Player_armour_description <>

<> Mio leans back in her seat and closes her eyes, sending a signal to the Pod's repair system. From in between the rows of rickety storage trays emerge a pair of thin, heat-iron tipped arms, one on either side of her. She sits perfectly still as they go about examining her mechanical limbs, spotwelding surface damage with flying sparks and switching out to finer electrical tools as needed to send prehensile tool-tipped cables into her joint access grooves. When prompted to do so via an impatient nudging by the blunt end of one arm, Mio opens one eye with a frown and adjusts her $Player_outfit accordingly, baring pale 'flesh' and allowing the machine to examine and prod at her gynoid torso, arm-heads swapping to another suite of tools to handle her synthetic skin and the biomechanical systems beneath it. Once the process is finished, Mio lifts an arm and rolls her wrist, flexing her fingers into a fist. Nodding, she sits up and gives herself a quick look over before standing. <<set $Player_hp to $Player_hp_max>> <<updatemeter 'player_hp_bar' `$Player_hp / $Player_hp_max`>> <<set $Player_glow to $Player_glow_max>> <<updatemeter 'player_glow_bar' `$Player_glow / $Player_glow_max`>> HP was restored to <<= $Player_hp>>!

Her eyes drift closed. <<if $Player_focus gte ($Player_focus_max * 0.7)>> It doesn't last for long, though. Mio's mind is on other things... her mission, the means by which it can be accomplished, the difficulties that lie ahead.

<> $Player_alias surrenders to the intrusive thoughts that sweep through $her mind, embracing them... or allowing them to rush over $herhim. Surroundings become meaningless as all focus shifts to $her mind's eye, almost unaware of $her own hand roaming between $her legs. And yet... $she just about remains mindful of things that need doing, time ticking by. Subtle flinches in $her expression as that hand gets to work, conjuring up favoured thoughts in $her head to expedite the private little process. Ragged, short little breaths. Squirming, shifting little movements. Senses melt and fade further, until the images playing in $her mind move beyond mere sight and sound, joined by smell, taste, touch, phantom sensations keeping up as fast as they can with the relentless pace of a hasteful, horny mind. With all intentions on getting it over and done with, it almost catches $Player_alias by surprise when that peak rushes towards $herhim, sending $herhim crashing over the edge with a sudden and harsh blur back to reality, distorted in waves as $her climax pulses in weakening echoes, back arching further, further!... relax. $Player_alias slumps back with a sigh, taking a moment more to collect $herself before shaking $her head and looking for something to clean up with. <<if $Player_focus > ($Player_focus_max * 0.7)>> <<else>> <<set $Player_focus to ($Player_focus_max * 0.7)>><<set $Player_focus to Math.round($Player_focus)>><<updatemeter 'player_focus_bar' `$Player_focus / $Player_focus_max`>> Focus was restored to <<= $Player_focus>>! <</if>> <<set $Weather_Duration to 0>> <<link "Refreshing... now, back to it." $Prior_Location>><</link>> <>

<> <<if $B4B3_Scene is 0>> "Mio? What is it you have there?" B4B3 inquires, taking a break from her busy schedule of zipping about the room, throwing blazing fast (but utterly minuscule) punches, revelling in her diminutive new body. Hovering a good ways up from Mio's location, the cheerful support unit swoops down in a twirling dive, pulling up at the last second in front of the bemused Android's face, hands planted firmly upon shapely hips with a wink of her glowing almond-indent eyes. It's an impressive little display, somewhat ruined when Mio casually reaches up from her seat to poke B4B3's smirking expression, a light 'tap' of metal-on-plastic enough to leave the drone-bodied girl wobbling to regain her balance mid-flight with a soft 'ah!?'. "Not sure, truth be told..." Mio trails off, raising her other hand, eyes flitting across the code projected as a hologram from her palm. "It's... sloppily written, to say the least. Functional, but a lot of redundancies. Made for private use, rather than for others to judge. All she told me was to use it if I felt... 'the need'. Whatever that means..." she allows herself to trail off again, unwilling to admit that she has a pretty good idea, the smug, knowing smile of the tentacle-haired techie conjured up in her databanks. B4B3 tilts her head from side to side: Mio can't help but marvel at how swiftly she's picked up on such organic body language. "Well!... I'm curious, so let's find out!" B4B3 exclaims with a soft giggle, catching Mio off guard. Before the more serious Synthetic can voice a protest, B4B3 twirls on the spot in mid-air, swiping her claw-hand through that projected code and copying it, her eyes flashing a few times as she executes the file! Mio tuts, placing a hand on the side of her pod to stand up, only to falter. "Ah-- B-3! You should know better than to--" "It's fiiiine! I doubt Miss Ervina would do anything to-- hh-- o-oh?" the support unit shudders, freezing in mid-air!... before she squirms, legs clamping together tightly, arms twitching uncertainly by her sides. "S-something... shifting! B-biomech mass is being used to-- to!--" she gasps, eyes glitching severely before twisting into a flustered '><' expression! Mio gasps with concern, reaching out to catch her ally before her thrusters sputter out, the support unit cradled against the larger 'bot's chest, hands supporting her back. "To what?! What did that ridiculous code-- d-do?" Mio gasps, eyes wide, question answered before she could even finish it. A high-pitched cry from her cradled companion terminates in a relieved grunt as the formerly smooth, black space of her groin erupts upwards, the head of a prodigious prick bobbing so close to Mio's face that the poor Droid goes crosseyed for a moment before she focuses off of it! B4B3's eyes flicker and reactivate, the drone glancing around aimlessly... before her gaze falls on the newly-grown appendage. It'd be a thing of pride on a man a head taller than Mio, but on the pixie-like mini-bot? B4B3 yelps in surprise, practically leaping out of Mio's arms and hovering a couple of feet away from her, that absurd length bobbing stiffly with the frantic motions - shiny, obsidian black, visibly heated, with exaggerated, bulging veins running from tip to the base... above a pair of equally weighty, pendulous balls. The limited capabilities of B4B3's expressions are pushed to their absolute limits as she stares at the twitching pillar jutting from between her trembling legs: each eye dimmed to a single pixel, shocked pinpricks half-hidden behind her claw and buster-hand crossed over her 'mouth'. Having recovered from her own shock, Mio can only offer her finest deadpan - gaze firmly trained on B4B3's eyes, rather than that... girth. "See? Told you... B-3?.. Respond!" Mio demands with a worried edge to her voice at her companion's frozen pose. "Feels... f-feels!..." B4B3 starts with a quiet squeak in her tone, before her hips buck forwards harsh enough to throw her off-balance, that spear jousting up close enough to nudge Mio's cheek! It leaves behind a sticky 'kiss', a dollop of thick, clear lubricant connecting their bodies by a thin string, even after being displaced upon the raised cheek of Mio's grimace. "Ukgh!!-- S-so-- so sensitive! I-I-I-I-oooooh!! T-the tiniest draft is!--" the support unit is interrupted by a stifled cry and a mighty throb before Mio's eyes, a noise carrying all manner of conflicting feelings towards the club standing between the drone's legs before one of those capped 'feet' find their way onto Mio's shoulder, thrusters alone not cutting it to keep B4B3 airborne with these spikes of... turbulence. It brings that weighty shaft into sharp focus before the Android's eyes once more, easily measuring across the width of her head, B4B3's manipulator-hand clamped gently upon Mio's sculpted helmet. "S-sensations overloading... tanks... b-beyond recommended capacity!-- M-Miss Mio, I-I could really use a... a... a 'hand'!!" The word is punctuated by another -throb-, harsh and heavy. Mio, despite her irritation at her comrade's lack of caution... can't seem to take her eyes off of it, tracing up and down with the diminishing bounces it makes before her eyes. Seething and breaking eye contact, the grumpy Android raises a hand and gingerly touches that damnable rod - just as heavy as it looks, soft up to a brief point... before the squish gives way to a dense, solid impassibility. B4B3's squeak and twitch says it all: it was very nearly a cry and a thrust, a harsh pulse felt against Mio's fingers before she curls them into a grip around the brutish fuckspire. Irritated though she may be, something flutters in the Synthetic's core at the delighted noise her companion makes from that merest of squeezes. "Ugh, you dope. F-fine, I'll... take care of this. You're not going to be any good to the mission lugging this thing around... How-- hrmph. How much is there to drain, exactly?--" Mio tuts, eyes flicking to those heaving balls, briefly mesmerized by the way they clench upwards whenever her hand glides down from the bloated crown to the thick, solid base of it. Despite the vast difference in size between the two, Mio swiftly realizes that no matter the angle, she can't wrap a single hand around the girth of it all the way!... "It... oo-ooh, it just says-- 'o-over capacity!'-- G-GOSH!" B4B3 yelps, suddenly leaning forward to clasp Mio's hand as though her life depends on it, whatever grace she had left sucked right out of the airlock as she thrusts with manic need against the imperfect seal of her companion's clenched fingers. Mio is stunned by the display, only dimly aware of the need to keep up the pressure of her grasp, watching as B4B3 does the best she can with what she's given... and listening to modulated, partially distorted sighs of relief give way to groans of frustration and a mounting mantra of "not enough... not enough... not enough!!... Not!--" "--Enough! This obviously isn't working, and if you keep this up you're going to wear something out - on me or on you." Mio sighs, releasing her grip without warning, B4B3 almost tumbling forward with a dismayed little chirp. Mio catches her, much to the support unit's relief - and then her brief confusion as hands find their way to the shapely hips of her chibi-sculpted body, turning her around to face her partner... her length shining all the more now that it has a thin layer of that abundant lubricant smeared across it from her frantic humping, painting Mio's other cheek with a few sticky strands before adjustments are made. B4B3 flails for a moment until her capped feet find their way upon Mio's shoulders, hands - both clawed and gun-barrelled - resting atop her head, parted enough to let the mini-bot look down at the swell of her troublesome prick resting upon her partner's face. The sight is committed to the securest storage she has to offer; the way Mio's one visible eye crosses inwards slightly to keep it within focus... the other obscured beneath it. The way she shuffles adjusting backwards, neck craned to let it slide down her smooth, flawless synthskin. The look she gives up at her support unit: an odd mixture of irritation unsuccessfully masking affection, emotions B4B3 doesn't know well but painted so strongly on the Synthetic's face. And then the words... "You're going to owe me for this." Mio declares, that throbbing cockhead poised between her nose and lips. "F-... for wha-?-O-OOHMYGOSH!!--" Mio's plush lips part and close upon the head of B4B3's prick. B4B3's eyes frazzle and glitch before the pixels reconfigure into a pair of pulsing hearts, beating all the faster when Mio's slender tongue shifts from beneath the jaw-stretching girth to swirl in a circle around and around and around... the slightest of smirks painting the corners of the larger woman's stuffed lips. Comfortably sat as she is, Mio just hands a steady hold on B4B3's hips - feeling the telltale twitches of over-eager desire to thrust deeper. No, her partner needs to learn a thing or two about patience, so that's precisely what she's going to do. Mio's glowing eyes, having briefly closed moments before, slowly flutter open to stare up at the overwhelmed, trembling drone, pulling her in a mere inch closer to lather more of that excitable shaft up with synthetic spit. This Gynoid model body seems to have more than a few pre-programmed routines, but at least they're coming in handy here... even if they are a tad irritating as they bombard Mio's neural core with helpful 'suggestions', the majority of which seem to have no understanding of foreplay. "I'm gunna go-- eeiii, I'm going crazy!! It feels so GOOD! How do organics DEAL with this?!" B4B3 whines gleefully, grip tightening on the hat of Mio's sculpted helmet. She offers nought but a little hum in response, followed by a slightly audible smirk at the way that most minor of vibrations make the support unit shiver in delight. The analysis of taste upon her tongue reads all manner of artificial - an over-abundance of iron overpowering mostly neutral flavours of silica... but what it lacks in accuracy of taste, it makes up for in reactions. A sex toy on the tongue, and in appearance... but the living, genuine article in the way it beats and swells between her lips, strong enough to feel them stretch just a little beyond their comfortable tautness. And, of course, in the abundance of lubricating 'pre' it joyfully spurts upon the back of her tongue, mostly tasteless but loaded with several chemicals of questionable legality. Mio maintains her dominant stance - despite her seated position - and the expression to go with it, but the laced cocktail of chems is having an effect, spurring her on a little faster than she intended. Before long, Mio is bobbing her head back and forth, encouraged by the simply adorable noises B4B3 makes as those ridiculously cute heart-shaped eyes thrum like fireworks. But even as inch after inch slides back and forth across slickened lips, Mio glances down, faltering for just a moment when she realizes that she's only covered a mere third of it. Given Ervina's hullbreaking hips, her status as a size queen should probably have been more obvious. That brief hesitation, however, snaps B4B3 right out of her state of blissful delirium. Mio frowns slightly when the feels the one-handed grip on her head tighten... and then automated 'gag' routines kick in when the battering-ram head of her companion's club of a cock pushes into and down her throat with a booster-assisted thrust! "MMrgkh--?! LGhk--" "I'm sorry Miss Mio!!-- OooOOoooh-- you're doing such a good job bu-bu-but this code is--" B4B3 stutters, her eyes frazzling out for a moment before they shift into rapidly-beating hearts, her petite armoured body thrumming with nervous energy. "I-it doesn't want me to let you do all the work!... It wants ME to do it!" Words, punctuated by action. Mio lets out another little 'glrk--' as B4B3 pulls out to the very tip, legs and arms stretched to their limits in their haphazard placement upon Mio's body!... before she slams back inside the awaiting hole, stretching Mio's jaw wide and eliciting a series of heavy, wet gags with each eager, humping thrust. As her head is rutted into the backrest of her seat, Mio can't help but mentally point out that this isn't fulfilling her needs... but then, the cumulative effects of that deluge of pre-spunk pumping down her slick, ridged fucktunnel of a throat is definitely starting to take a toll. With her hands still uselessly planted on her companion's pistoning hips, Mio squirms where she sits. She writhes deeper and deeper into her seat as her lids grow heavy, vision narrowing, becoming nothing more than the gleeful tilt of B4B3's eyes as she ruts away as though her very existence depends on it. "G-gosh, Mio! No wonder those monsters are so eager to bag you-- nngh~! Your throat feels incredible! I could do this f-forever!" she whines, still managing to sound cute even as she utters something so vulgar - if Mio's cheeks could sting, they surely would. The smooth plastform casing of her torso plating begins to bash against Mio's nose, those heavy, overproductive nuts swinging into her chin again and again and again. Each contact is brief, weighty, but transmits enough data from touch alone to tell Mio that despite her companion's bluster... she's on the verge of bursting. And yet, B4B3 holds on. It seems any notion of assisting Mio with her desires are more than a little overwritten by Elvina's straightforward behavioural code... if full, thrust. Loop until empty. There's room for... creative interpretation, to be sure: It's obvious that B4B3 wants to fit in as many 'loops' as possible, which means more of that laced pre seeping into Mio's throat, filtrating through the biomechanical systems of her salvaged Gynoid body... and driving her to such needy heights that even this conquering facefuck from a girl a fraction of her height carries a tantalizing thrill. Just as B4B3's injected code demands her frantic thrusting, the many subroutines installed in this body of Mio's encourage her to enjoy it. As B4B3's hips charge forwards, Mio's head approaches. As her throat stretches, so too does it clench and ripple with simulated swallows. Even with her tongue crushed flat within her mouth, she begins to slather it from side to side, anything to engage, to indulge... to satisfy that code that tells her that pleasure lies in the pleasure of others. The noises B4B3 makes in response to those efforts are most rewarding - so many coo's and chirps and startled little 'ah!'s, but none of them bring Mio any closer to release: instead, they merely throw fuel upon a fire at risk of becoming an inferno. Lost 50 Focus! <<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 50, 0, $Player_focus_max)>> With this in mind, the sudden deluge unleashed down her gullet might as well be nitroglycerin. B4B3 seems to catch herself off guard as her brutish third leg introduces her to one last new sensation... the reward for her tireless, frantic facefucking. Her manipulator claw grasps Mio's 'hair' tightly, the little pixie-styled drone practically laying herself over Mio's head, sturdy torso plating mashed tightly against the doll-type droid's nose, pushing it up and slightly off to the side at an unflattering angle. Those heavy, overladen balls clench upwards, dragging up along Mio's bulging neck and chin as they compress inwards, quite literally squeezing the synthetic fuckmuck within out by force: the first rope of it hits Mio's stomach like syrup dropped from a spoon, thick and heated and heavy. For her part, the Mercanoid lies back and swallows - a token gesture, but one appreciated as made evident by a delighted, shivering gasp escaping from B4B3's mouthless face. She's otherwise silent save for her little moans that accompany each contrastingly savage, clench-driven spurt of cream, barely heard beneath the humid weight of each of Mio's long, languid gulps and gags, belly filled more and more with each passing moment. "MMmlluuughk... Mluuughk--guhk... Glluuuughk...--Bluuhk!--Aaaah..." Mio doesn't need to breathe but, all the same, a dramatic inhaling gasp seems appropriate. That's just what she does when B4B3, suddenly shaken from her stupor, renews her grip and jerks her hips back, needing to adjust her footing to tug the last few inches free from her comrade's spit-shined lips. While she obviously has no sweat to wipe, she still performs a little pass across her forehead with her buster-arm, chiming a relieved, exerted noise as she does so. It's a little motion, but it still makes her saliva-slickened prick bob and weave in Mio's face, extending past her head and resting across her shoulder as B4B3 hangs onto her upper body with a single hand and a single foot. "That was... amazing!~ You feel just incredible, Mio... good news; that used up a bunch of the 'stuff' I'm storing!" she reports with glee, eyes long-since restored to display a pair of friendly half-almonds. Welcome news, to be sure: but as Mio further regains her bearings, she watches as those eyes rotate, taking on a slightly menacing edge in their new position... "Just 87% to go~." "87?!--" Mio squeaks. Silence, as a giddy half-panic grips Mio's mind with no idea what the other emotion it's mixed with could be. She's already more worked up than she thought possible, and B4B3 looks like she's about to dive right back down her throat! A splutter escapes her as B4B3's mighty prick pulses harshly enough for her to pick up the rush of it in her aural sensors... soon joined by an impish giggle as those eyes return to their regular orientation. "Ah, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist! It's, ah, more like 50%. One more time! I've taken the liberty of commencing a diagnostic link, Miss Mio..." she trails off, shuffling in a little closer to nuzzle her 'cheek' against Mio's own, ignoring the larger woman's huffy little protest - still annoyed at that little 'joke'. "So... I know exactly what you need. Ah--" she releases her grip on Mio, hovering before her as she drifts back a little, no longer trapping the Droid within her breaching pod... raising her clawed hand and twirling a single finger in a smooth circle. "My scan indicates this will work best if you turn around on your knees. Trust me!~" Mio pauses for a moment. Considers. Despite B4B3's boost in confidence, it would be simple enough to take charge of this situation, jerk the last dregs of that heavy, heated synthetic seed out of her, and get back to work. The fasted route. The simplest route. The most efficient way of getting back to their shared mission... and yet, Mio sighs with a shudder, barely able to focus on individual memory files and calculations with the cocktail of chemicals racing through her biomechanical veins. "You're going to owe me for this..." she mutters her declaration, giving a huffy smile as she takes that advice and shifts in her seat, twisting onto her hip and then turning onto her knees, hands on the backrest of her seat, backside thrust out behind her... a gasp escaping the 'bot when B4B3 gleefully touches down for landing upon the ample 'helipad' provided, skillfully parting Mio's $Player_outfit_bottom aside as she straddles her hips, little legs stretched to their limits... freakish length nestled between pale cheeks, throbbing stiffly against the holes nestled between them. "I already do, Miss Mio! But rest assured..." B4B3 chirps happily, wiggling her hips from side to side as she raises them up, prick sliding up against Mio's heated synthetic snatch as she lines up, causing the Mercanoid to grip her seat so tightly she risks leaving permanent grooves in the cheap faux-leather. The sheer difference in size between the two drives the growing, giddy thrill in Mio's systems all the further: B4B3 is less mounting her, and more mountaineering. "I'm gunna settle that debt right here and -now-." "Ah-?" Mio gasps, eyes briefly flashing bright enough to illuminate the gloom of her pod. Reaching to the back of her neck - and doing her best to ignore the bloated head of her partner's cock nudging against her needy slit - her fingers brush against a cable stealthily stuck into one of the ports concealed beneath the bob-cut of her helmet, connecting her and B4B3 together at best possible speed. "What're you?..." she trails off, glancing over her shoulder, beholding a delighted tilt to B4B3's rounded eyes, the cable stemming from the palm of her manipulator claw. Luridly, the thought occurs to Mio just how much it resembles a held leash. "I told you! I'm running a diagnostic. So I'll know exactly... where... to -thrust!-" B4B3 giggles, matching the emphasis of that final word with the speed and jet-assisted power behind the action! Mio's head jerks back round to bury into the headrest, muffling a loud squeak as she's filled up to the hilt in a single slam! With no need to breathe, taking it down her throat was a deceptively simple thing. But rammed deep inside a hole sculpted to do everything it can to mimic and surpass the 'real' thing, up to and including the sensations washing over her?... even half-obscured by the plush faux-leather she's mashing her face into, her eyes flare and flicker brightly enough to paint the storage lockers of the pod. B4B3 wastes no time revelling in the snug, comforting fit her partner has to offer: she immediately pulls back, feet resting on Mio's backside to push herself back, weaving the link cable around her wrist to keep from flying right off of her. She slips out to the very tip!... and then rushes back inside, angling herself downwards this time, hitting an entirely new pocket of pleasure. "Like -this-... and -this!-... and -THIS!~-" At first, each thrust is re-angled. The data-link between them feeds B4B3 plenty of information which she quickly sifts through, figuring out what translates to 'pleasure' for her partner, quickly developing a model for perfection: the right angles, the right speed, the best possible level of pressure to apply as hips bounce against pert, pale synthflesh cheeks. To the eye of a bystander, it would look little different to the self-serving jackhammer thrusts of that earlier face-humping... unless one looked closely. The way B4B3's wing-shaped thruster directors twitch and furl and part to direct the little jet bursts she makes with each press inwards, or the substantial decrease in her warbling, distorted cries: now determined huffs of effort, her runtime so devoted to figuring out the equation of Mio's desires that she often forgets to make any sound at all. With Mio's own, self-imposed muffling, the result is tiny yelps almost entirely buried beneath the frantic rhythm of artificial bodies colliding, a rapid-fire -Smak!- -Smak!- -Smak!- And so it goes, for a good, long while. Mio's trim stomach stretched around the plundering length, right along the usually nigh-invisible seam where grafted plates of synthetic flesh meet. A failsafe, to prevent damage in precisely this situation... or, in truth, ones far more severe. This torso may be cheap, but it was designed for a purpose, and designed to withstand that purpose, regardless of the partner's size and savagery. Nonetheless, no invention is perfect, and B4B3 is not without mercy; true to her word, she's doing this for Mio, not just herself. It would be so easy to drive the Mercanoid until her CPU overloaded into a hard reboot, so overloaded with sensation!... but the support unit is considerate. Whenever she detects that her pillaging thrusts are in danger of building to such a cascade, she changes tact, even slows down here and there, sometimes for her own benefit - or rather, that of her pulsing shaft, rippling with pleasure as it's massaged by Mio's welcoming slit. Again, it would be so easy to just rut with her to a quick and glorious crescendo... but this time, B4B3 is determined that she isn't finished until Mio is. To that end, however, her eyes swivel into a mischievous slant as she comes upon an idea during one of her slow, languid thrusts, watching the back of Mio's head barely tremble as she pushes herself further into the backrest for support. "Mio... the more data I have, the better I can make you feel. Visual, tactile, direct connection... but I'm missing a lot of aural info.~" B4B3 snickers, her well-fucked partner too groggy to catch her meaning right away. Soon, however, Mio's eyes flit open as she feels a slight tug from the cable connecting them both, the Android stubbornly pushing her mouth shut against the seat - a huffed 'Nnpmh!' of bratty protest - before B4B3 dares to lean right back, holding onto the cable like the reigns of a chariot, tugging with her claw hand and a single loop around the barrel of her buster, giving her enough tug to yank Mio free from her self-imposed silencer... before the drone slams back inside with a giggle, relishing in the heady, echoing 'Gyyyingh!~' from Mio! "You little!-- AAGNGH~-- Bully!!-- Uuuhhn!~--" she splutters, back to supporting herself with hands upon the seat before they splay out, grabbing at a shelf each on opposing sides of the cramped pod. Mio simply hangs on for dear life as B4B3 redoubles her efforts, pushing her body's core to its power limits as her hips begin to blur from the speed and intensity of their coupling, spurred on by each delicious cry Mio can hide no longer... "FUCK-~ AGNH- OOH!-- T-THERE-- NNH-- AANH-- S-STARS--" "T-that's more like-- uuhn!-- M-Mio, y-you're too tight!!--" B4B3 gasps out, the impish confidence she's developed over the last few minutes finally showing some old cracks as Mio uses her new grip on her surroundings to meet each thrust with an arch of her back and a pitched slam backwards! "Y-you're gunna make ME overload!!-- AHN!!--" "And who's!-- fault!-- is THAT!?~" Mio huffs back in reply, unaware of the dent she's just put in one of the pod's flimsy shelves with her iron grip... just as much pressure currently wrapped around B4B3's increasingly shallow, rapid little dives into the larger Synthetic's body. "F-finish what you started, I-- NGH~-- I'm close!!--" Words beyond this point begin to fail, half-formed and interrupted by errant moans, cries, or buzzing distortion accompanied by flickering eyes. Kept just below the peak of an overload for so long by B4B3, Mio's sudden and eager involvement in slamming herself back on each thrust has taken the control out of her partner's hands - and with it, the delicate balance keeping her from glitching out on synthetic monstercock! Even with warning signs flashing in her HUD, Mio keeps up the vigour, the balance of dominance between the two now riding the middle with quivering perfection. Pace intensifies. B4B3 finds the most promising angle and relentlessly abuses it, turning Mio's already broken words into warbling cries of ecstasy... spurring her to clench tightly, to relish in losing control, forcing B4B3's thrust to become shallower and shallower and for her precariously mounted feet to slip and!-- Mio shudders and seizes up, eyes rolling up, teeth clenched as B4B3 collapses against the small of her back and simply hangs on. Her claw pulls the link-cable so hard it almost yanks out despite the release-catch, her pulsing prick plugging the larger Android up to the very hilt as her heaving balls rise, compress, and unload with the force of a runaway firehose. Neither woman can find the words to describe the feeling, nor do they possess the ability to voice them even if they did. The first blast of over-pressured synthspunk rockets Mio right over the edge, a climax so intense as to briefly force her neural core into safe mode, her expression fluttering all sorts of silly for a moment before, piece by piece, her mind re-activates... ... Satisfied beyond measure. <<set $Player_focus to $Player_focus_max>><<updatemeter 'player_focus_bar' `$Player_focus / $Player_focus_max`>> Focus was restored to <<= $Player_focus>>! And so it is that Mio rides out the last vestiges of B4B3's climax with a clear and level head, expression turning into a warm, content smile... grappling with that throbbing cock buried so deep inside her with careful, coaxing clenches to wring out every last drop. B4B3's mewling cries are appreciative, as are the little squeezes she gives her partner from behind, shakily releasing the link-cable with a flick of her wrist as the final trickle of synthetic seed pours into Mio's well-filled flower. "Next time, B4B3... you ask before doing." Mio huffs, crossing her arms in front of her upon the backrest, supporting herself a little less destructively than her harsh-handed grasp on the damaged shelves and lockers around her. One eye shuts as she shifts slightly on her knees... so full, contents under pressure from the still-present plug created by B4B3's shaft. "Roger... that!.." B4B3 replies quietly, face buried so snug against the slender arch of Mio's back as to stifle the discrete speaker mounted where her mouth would be on a less stylized model. And yet, even through that layer of dampening... Mio can't help but pick up on a cheeky, perhaps not entirely honest edge to her tired voice. <<linkreplace "Clean up...">> It takes a while for B4B3's endowment to fade, even with her balls so thoroughly drained of their excessive payload. It's time Mio spends cleaning up in the aftermath, the storage module's means to do so being... limited. Nevertheless, the pair are soon ready for action once more! <<link "Back to the mission." "Storage Module 3-1">><</link>> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <<if $B4B3_Scene is 1>> "Say, Mio... what've you got there?" B4B3 inquires, taking a break from her busy schedule of zipping about the room, throwing blazing fast (but utterly minuscule) punches, revelling in her diminutive new body. Hovering a good ways up from Mio's location, the cheerful support unit swoops down in a twirling dive, pulling up at the last second in front of the grumpy Android's face, hands planted firmly upon shapely hips with a wink of her glowing almond-indent eyes. It's an impressive little display, somewhat ruined when Mio casually reaches up from her seat to poke B4B3's smirking expression, a light 'tap' of metal-on-plastic enough to leave the drone-bodied girl wobbling to regain her balance mid-flight with a soft 'ah!?'. "I'm examining Ervina's little 'stress relief' package again. I want to know if the way it made you act was a bug, or a... feature." Mio admits with a slight huff, raising her other hand, eyes flitting across the code projected as a hologram from her palm. "I knew she was pretty uninhibited, given how we met... but honestly!" she sighs with a roll of her eyes, the smug, knowing smile of the tentacle-haired techie conjured up in her databanks. Unwilling to admit, too, that she found the experience rather enjoyable. B4B3 tilts her head from side to side: Mio can't help but marvel at how swiftly she's picked up on such organic body language. "Ohoh?... sounds like further testing is in order, Miss Mio!" B4B3 exclaims with a soft giggle, catching Mio off guard. Before the more serious Synthetic can voice a protest, B4B3 twirls on the spot in mid-air, swiping her claw-hand through that projected code and copying it, her eyes flashing a few times as she executes the file! Mio tuts, placing a hand on the side of her pod to stand up, only to falter. "B4B3! I didn't--" "Pft. Yeah? Just examining the code for 'fun', right in front of me? Huh?" the support unit snickers, then shivers, freezing in mid-air!... before she squirms, legs clamping together tightly, arms twitching by her sides. "O-oh, wow! It feels just as good as last time! Everything's... ngh, shifting around, and--" she gasps, eyes glitching severely before twisting into a flustered '><' expression! Mio gasps with concern, reaching out to catch her ally before her thrusters sputter out, the support unit cradled against the larger 'bot's chest, hands supporting her back. "Yet you still can't handle it! Honestly, you--" Mio gasps, eyes wide, interrupted yet again before she could finish. A high-pitched cry from her cradled companion terminates in a relieved grunt as the formerly smooth, black space of her groin erupts upwards, the head of a prodigious prick bobbing so close to Mio's face that the poor Droid goes crosseyed for a moment before she focuses off of it! B4B3's eyes flicker and reactivate, the drone glancing around aimlessly... before her gaze falls on the newly-grown appendage. It'd be a thing of pride on a man a head taller than Mio, but on the pixie-like mini-bot? B4B3 gives a cheer of triumph, practically leaping out of Mio's arms and hovering a couple of feet away from her, that absurd length bobbing stiffly with the frantic motions - shiny, obsidian black, visibly heated, with exaggerated, bulging veins running from tip to the base... above a pair of equally weighty, pendulous balls. The limited capabilities of B4B3's expressions are pushed to their absolute limits as she stares at the twitching pillar jutting from between her quivering: each eye tilted into something resembling a look of arrogant pride, her hands planted on her hips smugly. Having recovered from her shock, Mio can only offer her finest deadpan - gaze firmly trained on B4B3's eyes, rather than that... girth. "Ugh. There. Are you proud of yourself, you little miscreant?" Mio demands with her gloomiest possible tone, even though she's pretty sure it just excites the Support Unit. "Totally!~" B4B3 exclaims with an unintentional squeak in her tone before her hips buck forwards harsh enough to throw her off-balance, that spear jousting up close to nudge Mio's cheek! It leaves behind a sticky 'kiss', a dollop of thick, clear lubricant connecting their bodies by a thin string, even after being displaced upon the raised cheek of Mio's grimace. "J-jeez, it's just as sensitive as before, though! I-I can't even-- control my hips!!--" the support unit gasps, punctuated by a stifled cry and a mighty throb before Mio's eyes, a noise carrying all manner of conflicting feelings towards the club standing between the drone's legs before one of those capped 'feet' find their way onto Mio's shoulder, thrusters alone not cutting it to keep B4B3 airborne with these spikes of... turbulence. It brings that weighty shaft into sharp focus before the Android's eyes once more, easily measuring across the width of her head, B4B3's manipulator-hand clamped gently upon Mio's sculpted helmet. "A-and it's just as full as last time, too... n-no unit left behind, right, Mio? Help a gal out?~" The lewd request is punctuated by another -throb-, harsh and heavy. Mio, despite her irritation at her diminutive comrade's arrogance... can't seem to take her eyes off of it, tracing up and down with the diminishing bounces it makes before her eyes. Seething and breaking eye contact, the grumpy Android raises a hand and gingerly touches that damnable rod - just as heavy as it looks, soft up to a brief point... before the squish gives way to a dense, solid impassibility. B4B3's squeak and twitch says it all: it was very nearly a cry and a thrust, a harsh pulse felt against Mio's fingers before she curls them into a grip around the brutish fuckspire. Irritated though she may be, something flutters in the Synthetic's core at the delighted noise her companion makes from that merest of squeezes. "You need to learn how to ask for permission, you know." Mio grumbles but nonetheless complies, eyes flicking to those heaving balls, briefly mesmerized by the way they clench upwards whenever her hand glides down from the bloated crown to the thick, solid base of it. Despite the vast difference in size between the two Synthetics, Mio swiftly realizes that no matter the angle, she can't wrap a single hand around the girth of it all the way!... "I can literally read your mind, Mio." B4B3 reminds her with a snicker, though it ends in a yelp as she suddenly leans forward to clasp Mio's hand as though her life depends on it, whatever grace she had left sucked right out of the airlock as she thrusts with manic need against the imperfect seal of her companion's clenched fingers. Mio is stunned by the display, only dimly aware of the need to keep up the pressure of her grasp, watching as B4B3 does the best she can with what she's given... and listening to modulated, partially distorted sighs of relief give way to groans of frustration and a mounting mantra of "not enough... not enough... not enough!!... Not!--" "--Enough! What a surprise, it wasn't sufficient before and it isn't sufficient now! You're going to wear something out - on you or me!" Mio sighs, releasing her grip without warning, B4B3 almost tumbling forward with a dismayed little chirp. Mio catches her, much to the support unit's relief - and then her brief confusion as hands find their way to the shapely hips of her chibi-sculpted body, turning her around to face her partner... her length shining all the more now that it has a thin layer of that abundant lubricant smeared across it from her frantic humping, painting Mio's other cheek with a few sticky strands before adjustments are made. B4B3 flails for a moment until her capped feet find their way upon Mio's shoulders, hands - both clawed and gun-barrelled - resting atop her head, parted enough to let the mini-bot look down at the swell of her troublesome prick resting upon her partner's face. The sight is committed to the securest storage she has to offer; the way Mio's one visible eye crosses inwards slightly to keep it within focus... the other obscured beneath it. The way she shuffles adjusting backwards, neck craned to let it slide down her smooth, flawless synthskin. The look she gives up at her support unit: an odd mixture of irritation unsuccessfully masking affection, emotions B4B3 doesn't know well but painted so strongly on the Synthetic's face. And then the words... "You still owe me for last time, you know." Mio declares, that throbbing cockhead poised between her nose and lips. "Oh yeah? I don't see you cashing it innNNYOOHMYGOSH!!--" Mio's plush lips part and close upon the head of B4B3's prick. B4B3's eyes frazzle and glitch before the pixels reconfigure into a pair of pulsing hearts, beating all the faster when Mio's slender tongue shifts from beneath the jaw-stretching girth to swirl in a circle around and around and around... the slightest of smirks painting the corners of the larger woman's stuffed lips. Comfortably sat as she is, Mio just hands a steady hold on B4B3's hips - feeling the telltale twitches of over-eager desire to thrust deeper. No, her partner needs to learn a thing or two about patience, so that's precisely what she's going to do. Mio's glowing eyes, having briefly closed moments before, slowly flutter open to stare up at the overwhelmed, trembling drone, pulling her in a mere inch closer to lather more of that excitable shaft up with synthetic spit. This Gynoid model body seems to have more than a few pre-programmed routines, but at least they're coming in handy here... even if they are a tad irritating as they bombard Mio's neural core with helpful 'suggestions', the majority of which seem to have no understanding of foreplay. "No matter how many-- OOughh!!-- t-times we do this, I'm never gunna understand how organics don't go crazy doing it!!" B4B3 whines gleefully, grip tightening on the hat of Mio's sculpted helmet. She offers nought but a little hum in response, followed by a slightly audible smirk at the way that most minor of vibrations make the support unit shiver in delight. The analysis of taste upon her tongue reads all manner of artificial - an over-abundance of iron overpowering mostly neutral flavours of silica... but what it lacks in accuracy of taste, it makes up for in reactions. A sex toy on the tongue, and in appearance... but the living, genuine article in the way it beats and swells between her lips, strong enough to feel them stretch just a little beyond their comfortable tautness. And, of course, in the abundance of lubricating 'pre' it joyfully spurts upon the back of her tongue, mostly tasteless but loaded with several chemicals of questionable legality. Mio maintains her dominant stance - despite her seated position - and the expression to go with it, but the laced cocktail of chems is having an effect, spurring her on a little faster than she intended. Before long, Mio is bobbing her head back and forth, encouraged by the simply adorable noises B4B3 makes as those ridiculously cute heart-shaped eyes thrum like fireworks. But even as inch after inch slides back and forth across slickened lips, Mio glances down, faltering for just a moment when she realizes that she's only covered a mere third of it. Given Ervina's hullbreaking hips, her status as a size queen should probably have been more obvious. That brief hesitation, however, snaps B4B3 right out of her state of blissful delirium. Mio frowns slightly when the feels the one-handed grip on her head tighten... and then automated 'gag' routines kick in when the battering-ram head of her companion's club of a cock pushes into and down her throat with a booster-assisted thrust! "MMrgkh--?! LGhk--" "E-eheh! I remember the looks you gave me last time I did this!~" B4B3 snickers through a huff, her eyes frazzling out for a moment before they shift into rapidly-beating hearts, her petite armoured body thrumming with nervous energy. "Besides! Letting you do all the work isn't within my parameters! A Support Unit... is meant to put EFFORT in!!" Words, punctuated by action. Mio lets out another little 'glrk--' as B4B3 pulls out to the very tip, legs and arms stretched to their limits in their haphazard placement upon Mio's body!... before she slams back inside the awaiting hole, stretching Mio's jaw wide and eliciting a series of heavy, wet gags with each eager, humping thrust. As her head is rutted into the backrest of her seat, Mio can't help but mentally point out that this isn't fulfilling her needs... but then, the cumulative effects of that deluge of pre-spunk pumping down her slick, ridged fucktunnel of a throat is definitely starting to take a toll. With her hands still uselessly planted on her companion's pistoning hips, Mio squirms where she sits. She writhes deeper and deeper into her seat as her lids grow heavy, vision narrowing, becoming nothing more than the gleeful tilt of B4B3's eyes as she ruts away as though her very existence depends on it. "G-gosh, Mio! I stand by what I said: no wonder those monsters are so eager to bag you-- nngh~! Your throat feels incredible! I could do this f-forever!" she whines, still managing to sound cute even as she utters something so vulgar - if Mio's cheeks could sting, they surely would. The smooth plastform casing of her torso plating begins to bash against Mio's nose, those heavy, overproductive nuts swinging into her chin again and again and again. Each contact is brief, weighty, but transmits enough data from touch alone to tell Mio that despite her companion's bluster... she's on the verge of bursting. And yet, B4B3 holds on. It seems any notion of assisting Mio with her desires are more than a little overwritten by Elvina's straightforward behavioural code... if full, thrust. Loop until empty. There's room for... creative interpretation, to be sure: It's obvious that B4B3 wants to fit in as many 'loops' as possible, which means more of that laced pre seeping into Mio's throat, filtrating through the biomechanical systems of her salvaged Gynoid body... and driving her to such needy heights that even this conquering facefuck from a girl a fraction of her height carries a tantalizing thrill. Just as B4B3's injected code demands her frantic thrusting, the many subroutines installed in this body of Mio's encourage her to enjoy it. As B4B3's hips charge forwards, Mio's head approaches. As her throat stretches, so too does it clench and ripple with simulated swallows. Even with her tongue crushed flat within her mouth, she begins to slather it from side to side, anything to engage, to indulge... to satisfy that code that tells her that pleasure lies in the pleasure of others. The noises B4B3 makes in response to those efforts are most rewarding - so many coos and chirps and startled little 'ah!'s, but none of them bring Mio any closer to release: instead, they merely throw fuel upon a fire at risk of becoming an inferno. Lost 50 Focus! <<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 50, 0, $Player_focus_max)>> With this in mind, the sudden deluge unleashed down her gullet might as well be nitroglycerin. B4B3 seems to catch herself off guard as her brutish third leg introduces her to one last new sensation... the reward for her tireless, frantic facefucking. Her manipulator claw grasps Mio's 'hair' tightly, the little pixie-styled drone practically laying herself over Mio's head, sturdy torso plating mashed tightly against the doll-type droid's nose, pushing it up and slightly off to the side at an unflattering angle. Those heavy, overladen balls clench upwards, dragging up along Mio's bulging neck and chin as they compress inwards, quite literally squeezing the synthetic fuckmuck within out by force: the first rope of it hits Mio's stomach like syrup dropped from a spoon, thick and heated and heavy. For her part, the Mercanoid lies back and swallows - a token gesture, but one appreciated as made evident by a delighted, shivering gasp escaping from B4B3's mouthless face. She's otherwise silent save for her little moans that accompany each contrastingly savage, clench-driven spurt of cream, barely heard beneath the humid weight of each of Mio's long, languid gulps and gags, belly filled more and more with each passing moment. "MMmlluuughk... Mluuughk--guhk... Glluuuughk...--Bluuhk!--Aaaah..." Mio doesn't need to breathe but, all the same, a dramatic inhaling gasp seems appropriate. That's just what she does when B4B3, suddenly shaken from her stupor, renews her grip and jerks her hips back, needing to adjust her footing to tug the last few inches free from her comrade's spit-shined lips. While she obviously has no sweat to wipe, she still performs a little pass across her forehead with her buster-arm, chiming a relieved, exerted noise as she does so. It's a little motion, but it still makes her saliva-slickened prick bob and weave in Mio's face, extending past her head and resting across her shoulder as B4B3 hangs onto her upper body with a single hand and a single foot. "Incredible as always!~ Your throat feels soooo good... and good news! That used up a bunch of the 'stuff' I'm storing!" she reports with glee, eyes long since restored to display a pair of friendly half-almonds. Welcome news, to be sure: but as Mio further regains her bearings, she watches as those eyes rotate, taking on a slightly menacing edge in their new position... "Just 85% to go~. Even better than last time!" "Seriously?!--" Mio squeaks. Silence, as a giddy half-panic grips Mio's mind with no idea what the other emotion it's mixed with could be. She's already more worked up than she thought possible, and B4B3 looks like she's about to dive right back down her throat! A splutter escapes her as B4B3's mighty prick pulses harshly enough for her to pick up the rush of it in her aural sensors... soon joined by an impish giggle as those eyes return to their regular orientation. "Hehe!~ You fell for it again, jeez. You got just about half of it exactly!~ One more time! I've taken the liberty of commencing a diagnostic link, Miss Mio..." she trails off, shuffling in a little closer to nuzzle her 'cheek' against Mio's own, ignoring the larger woman's huffy little protest - still annoyed at that little 'joke'. "So... I know exactly what you need. Ah--" she releases her grip on Mio, hovering before her as she drifts back a little, no longer trapping the Droid within her breaching pod... raising her clawed hand and twirling a single finger in a smooth circle. "How funny! Once again, my scan indicates this will work best if you turn around on your knees. Trust me!~" Mio pauses for a moment. Considers. Despite B4B3's boost in confidence, it would be simple enough to take charge of this situation, jerk the last dregs of that heavy, heated synthetic seed out of her, and get back to work. The fasted route. The simplest route. The most efficient way of getting back to their shared mission... and yet, Mio sighs with a shudder, barely able to focus on individual memory files and calculations with the cocktail of chemicals racing through her biomechanical veins. "Your debt piles higher and higher..." she mutters her declaration, giving a huffy smile as she takes that advice and shifts in her seat, twisting onto her hip and then turning onto her knees, hands on the backrest of her seat, backside thrust out behind her... a gasp escaping the 'bot when B4B3 gleefully touches down for landing upon the ample 'helipad' provided, skillfully parting Mio's $Player_outfit_bottom aside as she straddles her hips, little legs stretched to their limits... freakish length nestled between pale cheeks, throbbing stiffly against the holes nestled between them. "I'm keeping track, Miss Mio! But rest assured..." B4B3 chirps happily, wiggling her hips from side to side as she raises them up, prick sliding up against Mio's heated synthetic snatch as she lines up, causing the Mercanoid to grip her seat so tightly she risks leaving permanent grooves in the cheap faux-leather. The sheer difference in size between the two drives the growing, giddy thrill in Mio's systems all the further: B4B3 is less mounting her, and more mountaineering. "I'm gunna settle that debt right here and -now-." "Ah-?" Mio gasps, eyes briefly flashing bright enough to illuminate the gloom of her pod. Reaching to the back of her neck - and doing her best to ignore the bloated head of her partner's cock nudging against her needy slit - her fingers brush against a cable stealthily stuck into one of the ports concealed beneath the bob-cut of her helmet, connecting her and B4B3 together at best possible speed. "What're you?..." she trails off, glancing over her shoulder, beholding a delighted tilt to B4B3's rounded eyes, the cable stemming from the palm of her manipulator claw. Luridly, the thought occurs to Mio just how much it resembles a held leash. "Wow, you really are unfocused! Already forgot that I'm running a diagnostic? You need a good defragging. I'll know exactly... where... to -thrust!-" B4B3 giggles, matching the emphasis of that final word with the speed and jet-assisted power behind the action! Mio's head jerks back round to bury into the headrest, muffling a loud squeak as she's filled up to the hilt in a single slam! With no need to breathe, taking it down her throat was a deceptively simple thing. But rammed deep inside a hole sculpted to do everything it can to mimic and surpass the 'real' thing, up to and including the sensations washing over her?... even half-obscured by the plush faux-leather she's mashing her face into, her eyes flare and flicker brightly enough to paint the storage lockers of the pod. B4B3 wastes no time revelling in the snug, comforting fit her partner has to offer: she immediately pulls back, feet resting on Mio's backside to push herself back, weaving the link cable around her wrist to keep from flying right off of her. She slips out to the very tip!... and then rushes back inside, angling herself downwards this time, hitting an entirely new pocket of pleasure. "Like -this-... and -this!-... and -THIS!~-" At first, each thrust is re-angled. The data-link between them feeds B4B3 plenty of information which she quickly sifts through, figuring out what translates to 'pleasure' for her partner, quickly developing a model for perfection: the right angles, the right speed, the best possible level of pressure to apply as hips bounce against pert, pale synthflesh cheeks. To the eye of a bystander, it would look little different to the self-serving jackhammer thrusts of that earlier face-humping... unless one looked closely. The way B4B3's wing-shaped thruster directors twitch and furl and part to direct the little jet bursts she makes with each press inwards, or the substantial decrease in her warbling, distorted cries: now determined huffs of effort, her runtime so devoted to figuring out the equation of Mio's desires that she often forgets to make any sound at all. With Mio's own, self-imposed muffling, the result is tiny yelps almost entirely buried beneath the frantic rhythm of artificial bodies colliding, a rapid-fire -Smak!- -Smak!- -Smak!- And so it goes, for a good, long while. Mio's trim stomach stretched around the plundering length, right along the usually nigh-invisible seam where grafted plates of synthetic flesh meet. A failsafe, to prevent damage in precisely this situation... or, in truth, ones far more severe. This torso may be cheap, but it was designed for a purpose, and designed to withstand that purpose, regardless of the partner's size and savagery. Nonetheless, no invention is perfect, and B4B3 is not without mercy; true to her word, she's doing this for Mio, not just herself. It would be so easy to drive the Mercanoid until her CPU overloaded into a hard reboot, so overloaded with sensation!... but the support unit is considerate. Whenever she detects that her pillaging thrusts are in danger of building to such a cascade, she changes tact, even slows down here and there, sometimes for her own benefit - or rather, that of her pulsing shaft, rippling with pleasure as it's massaged by Mio's welcoming slit. Again, it would be so easy to just rut with her to a quick and glorious crescendo... but this time, B4B3 is determined that she isn't finished until Mio is. To that end, however, her eyes swivel into a mischievous slant as she comes upon an idea during one of her slow, languid thrusts, watching the back of Mio's head barely tremble as she pushes herself further into the backrest for support. "Mio... the more data I have, the better I can make you feel. Visual, tactile, direct connection... but I'm missing a lot of aural info.~" B4B3 snickers, her well-fucked partner too groggy to catch her meaning right away. Soon, however, Mio's eyes flit open as she feels a slight tug from the cable connecting them both, the Android stubbornly pushing her mouth shut against the seat - a huffed 'Nnpmh!' of bratty protest - before B4B3 dares to lean right back, holding onto the cable like the reigns of a chariot, tugging with her claw hand and a single loop around the barrel of her buster, giving her enough tug to yank Mio free from her self-imposed silencer... before the drone slams back inside with a giggle, relishing in the heady, echoing 'Gyyyingh!~' from Mio! "You little!-- AAGNGH~-- Bully!!-- Uuuhhn!~--" she splutters, back to supporting herself with hands upon the seat before they splay out, grabbing at a shelf each on opposing sides of the cramped pod. Mio simply hangs on for dear life as B4B3 redoubles her efforts, pushing her body's core to its power limits as her hips begin to blur from the speed and intensity of their coupling, spurred on by each delicious cry Mio can hide no longer... "FUCK-~ AGNH- OOH!-- T-THERE-- NNH-- AANH-- S-STARS--" "T-that's more like-- uuhn!-- M-Mio, y-you're too tight!!--" B4B3 gasps out, the impish confidence she's developed over the last few minutes finally showing some old cracks as Mio uses her new grip on her surroundings to meet each thrust with an arch of her back and a pitched slam backwards! "Y-you're gunna make ME overload!!-- AHN!!--" "And who's!-- fault!-- is THAT!?~" Mio huffs back in reply, unaware of the dent she's just put in one of the pod's flimsy shelves with her iron grip... just as much pressure currently wrapped around B4B3's increasingly shallow, rapid little dives into the larger Synthetic's body. "F-finish what you started, I-- NGH~-- I'm close!!--" Words beyond this point begin to fail, half-formed and interrupted by errant moans, cries, or buzzing distortion accompanied by flickering eyes. Kept just below the peak of an overload for so long by B4B3, Mio's sudden and eager involvement in slamming herself back on each thrust has taken the control out of her partner's hands - and with it, the delicate balance keeping her from glitching out on synthetic monstercock! Even with warning signs flashing in her HUD, Mio keeps up the vigour, the balance of dominance between the two now riding the middle with quivering perfection. Pace intensifies. B4B3 finds the most promising angle and relentlessly abuses it, turning Mio's already broken words into warbling cries of ecstasy... spurring her to clench tightly, to relish in losing control, forcing B4B3's thrust to become shallower and shallower and for her precariously mounted feet to slip and!-- Mio shudders and seizes up, eyes rolling up, teeth clenched as B4B3 collapses against the small of her back and simply hangs on. Her claw pulls the link-cable so hard it almost yanks out despite the release-catch, her pulsing prick plugging the larger Android up to the very hilt as her heaving balls rise, compress, and unload with the force of a runaway firehose. Neither woman can find the words to describe the feeling, nor do they possess the ability to voice them even if they did. The first blast of over-pressured synthspunk rockets Mio right over the edge, a climax so intense as to briefly force her neural core into safe mode, her expression fluttering all sorts of silly for a moment before, piece by piece, her mind re-activates... ... Satisfied beyond measure. <<set $Player_focus to $Player_focus_max>><<updatemeter 'player_focus_bar' `$Player_focus / $Player_focus_max`>> Focus was restored to <<= $Player_focus>>! And so it is that Mio rides out the last vestiges of B4B3's climax with a clear and level head, expression turning into a warm, content smile... grappling with that throbbing cock buried so deep inside her with careful, coaxing clenches to wring out every last drop. B4B3's mewling cries are appreciative, as are the little squeezes she gives her partner from behind, shakily releasing the link cable with a flick of her wrist as the final trickle of synthetic seed pours into Mio's well-filled flower. "Next time, B4B3... you ask before doing." Mio huffs, crossing her arms in front of her upon the backrest, supporting herself a little less destructively than her harsh-handed grasp on the damaged shelves and lockers around her. One eye shuts as she shifts slightly on her knees... so full, contents under pressure from the still-present plug created by B4B3's shaft. "Of course... I will!.." B4B3 blatantly lies quietly, face buried so snug against the slender arch of Mio's back as to stifle the discrete speaker mounted where her mouth would be on a less stylized model. And yet, even through that layer of dampening... Mio can't help but pick up on that cheeky, not entirely honest edge to her tired voice. <<linkreplace "Clean up...">> It takes a while for B4B3's endowment to fade, even with her balls so thoroughly drained of their excessive payload. It's time Mio spends cleaning up in the aftermath, the storage module's means to do so being... limited. Nevertheless, the pair are soon ready for action once more! <<link "Back to the mission."

<> <<if $M_M4X_Met is 0>> <<set $M_M4X_Met to 1>> Mio glances over both shoulders, then relaxes slightly. Turning back to the dark-cased vending machine, she gives the display a closer look. Occasionally little animations advertizing different sugary or salty products play in front of or behind the mascot, a big thief-masked Raccoon with big, rounded ears and an expression Mio finds almost... morose. Preparing herself to feel potentially foolish, Mio opens her mouth to speak to... a vending machine. "Are you equipped with artificial intelligence?" "I like to think so, yeah." the Vending Machine replies in a slightly gruff but feminine voice, using her mascot-animation to speak - synced lip-flaps and everything! Mio relaxes a little further, but checks her surroundings again - she's vigilant to do so for as long as this conversation lasts. "Soooo. You gunna buy somethin'?" "Eh? No-- well, maybe? That's not why I'm here." Mio frowns, glancing at the products on offer. It's not just snacks, there's some minor tools and supplies, too... hmm. "I'm here to secure a package before the Cleaners arrive. I'm authorized by TentaCo, not a salvager, just in case that's how this looks..." "I wouldn't exactly be in a position to stop you if you were, but, good to know. Go on?" "I don't suppose you could fill me in on what happened? Or perhaps on who that girl who ran from me is? Or... open the door she closed?" Mio asks, putting a hopelessly pessimistic tang into that last question. "Well, uh, in order? The outbreak came from the north - the doors didn't close in time, enough of the hive got through to grow to what you see around us now. As for the girl, I'm... not actually sure, she must usually stick to the north end of the facility... and, ah, as for the door? Sorry, but I'm a vending machine, not a security droid. Actually... where are the security droids? Huh. Weird. I must've been too distracted to notice that." "... Distracted?" Mio asks with a quirked brow. "Here I thought you might have your hands full, what with?..." she trails off, motioning at the hive growth all around them. The Raccoon animation - which was looking off to the side until just now, blinking in surprise - shakes her head. "What hands? And, well, the tentacles don't bother me! One tried, got zapped by my anti-theft measures, and now they're leaving me alone. So, uh, just been me... by myself, thinking. Then that scientist ran by, and before I could talk to her, she got spooked by you." "Thinking? Well, I can relate to that..." Mio sighs with a slight scoff, a knowing look on her face. The animation looks slightly embarrassed for a moment, then straightens up. "Well, I'm kind of stuck unless I can get through that door, so I'll probably be seeing you again. You can call me Mio." "I'm designated M4X. Max works, obviously... I swear, they give us names like this on purpose. They gotta, right?" M4X inquires, animation shrugging with a cartoonish bounce. "Personifies us. But stars forbid we personify too much." the Android snorts, earning a sighing, two-tone chuckle from M4X. <<else>> Mio steps up to M4X, performing her by-now customary glance over both shoulders before relaxing a little. The animated Raccoon of the machine's facade greets her with a little wave, the chubby creature wobbling with the motion. "Heya, Mio. Need anything? Ya buyin'?

M4X's avatar wrings its hands together, almost as if nervous. "Well... a bunch of the staff ran past here from the North Sector when the outbreak started, all headin' towards the shuttle bay. But it wasn't long before they came back - two people ran off down the 'B' Checkpoint, and everyone else funnelled into the break room. Uh, the one right here." her avatar stands on its adorable little hind legs and 'presses' against the screen, leaning to its left to point at the door to Mio's immediate south. Mio frowns, leaning back and peering through the doorway into the breakroom. It's... empty. <<if $MERCANOID_CHECKPOINT_A gte 1>>"Well... they're still in there.

Mio states, casting a glance back towards the vending machine with a quirked brow.

With that being said, then... where the hell are they?<</if>> "Other than that!... I guess some people stayed in their rooms - there's 6 on-site rooms in this sector, and an unfinished residential suite in the North Sector - along with anyone who got stuck up north. That's all I really know." M4X explains, then her avatar glances off to the side in thought. Mio nods and spares another glance into the break room, then bows slightly to M4X. "Thank you."

M4X's avatar huffs and crosses its arms tightly, but then stares at Mio for a moment, clearly contemplating something. "Well... yeah, alright, there's something on my mind. I!... ugh. It's kinda silly, but... Have you ever liked someone, Mio?" she asks, arms uncrossing, fingers tapped together. Mio ponders the question, tilting her head. "There are... people whose presences I have enjoyed, in my time. I don't think that's what you're asking, though." she hums, crossing her arms in turn. M4X's avatar shakes her head. "Naw, see, like... like-like. Like a lot? Ugh-- look, until kinda recently, I was sharing this space with another vending machine. She's... kinda new, both in terms of bein' around here and in terms of, y'know, bein'. But we got on pretty well, even though she's a lot fancier than me. She got moved into the north sector a few days before the outbreak, and... I dunno! I didn't think much about it while she was here, but after she was moved, I realized how much I enjoyed talking with her." M4X explains, her avatar slumping onto its haunches in a grumpy sit. "I wanna talk to her again. Or at least, y'know, find out how she's doing. I don't suppose?..." she trails off, giving Mio some serious puppy-dog eyes. Erm... kit-raccoon eyes? Whichever. Mio blinks, glancing to the northern checkpoint door and back. "I'm guessing you want me to pass on a message? If I head up that way, I'll do that." Mio promises. It's a promise with the proviso of 'if', but a promise nonetheless; one M4X animates enthusiastically in response to, her cartoon body squashing and stretching as she leaps to her feet!

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>@@.WarningIntro;WARNING! ENEMY APPROACHING!@@</div> Mio reaches out for the Level 1 Keycard, picking it up by the lanyard and letting it dangle in her hand. Looks like it's used for identification, too... information, a picture of a gold-scaled face dominating the right-hand side of the front, with a black strip on the otherwise blank back. A thick, steaming glob of cloudy liquid suddenly splatters on her arm. Mio's eyes widen, and her sensors screech in warning-- it's not her most graceful dodge as she throws herself backwards, but it saves her from the slathering maw of a long, stretchy abomination from above! It smashes into the plush cushion of the armchair and awkwardly bounces up from it, neither party damaged in the process despite the gleaming fangs that ring the worm-like monster's drooling mouth. A quick scan and zoom as Mio picks herself up reveals why... blunted, useless for chewing. That sort of modification makes the flower-dotted serpentine thing's purpose a bit clearer. Rooted firmly to the ceiling, its brief stunned state gives Mio the chance to look it over. Plant-like, covered in little floral growths with thick, green hide, like a pitcher plant turned upside down and given an attitude. Turning to face Mio, it expels all doubt as to its purpose by widening its gaping maw further, revealing a slithering mass of tentacles within. Bringing up her $Player_weapon_main with a grimace, Mio solves the mystery of the breakroom, empty of people and infestation both: The ceiling is packed wall-to-wall with these monsters, all of them softly squirming and swaying with the ecstasy-driven squirming of their engulfed partners. All of them except the one surging towards Mio, dulled fangs undulating like greedy, grasping fingers to pull her inside!

Already popular before their expansion into the stars at the beginning of the First Pan-Galactic Conflict, subtle maneuvering within the corridors of power of the Imperial Palace allowed Heritor's Hand to secure an unreasonable number of contracts to supply the growing army. Towards the middle of the conflict, they became the single largest arms manufacturer in galactic history by nearly all metrics - size, employees (including the enslaved), buildings owned, number of weapons made, and so on. When the Sneerz Empire was defeated, Heritor's Hand fell into immediate disarray. Many of their surviving manufactories were seized or destroyed as worlds were reclaimed, and their central control units died with the Sneerz homeworld when it was obliterated at the hands of their own wonder weapon. The dark legacy of their creations lives on through the examples cared for and zealously guarded by Sneerz mercenaries, bandits and freelancers of the modern era. <<include "Codex Return">><>

This jungle-themed cell is the origin point of the Gulper Vines.

The origin point of whatever it is that smashed through the lockdown doors, as cultivated by Mimi. (The Travesty, before it bonded with the Sled.)

<><<set $speech_passage to "M4X Security">> "Something you mentioned has been bothering me. You said there are meant to be security droids?" Mio asks, placing her hands on her hips, just above the connection ports for her legs. M4X's animated avatar glances from side to side, then her ears droop in concern, shown too on her face - downturned eyes, mouth turning up in a tiny frown. "Right, yeah. Well-- Drones, I meant, not Droids. They're pretty small, but they pack these powerful lil energy blasters - can stun a person, or fry a monster. I!... think they run off of a central governing computer core rather than utilizing any sort of, y'know, virtual or artificial intelligence." M4X explains, her avatar glancing up and blinking. "Oop-- tentacle goop's about to drip, careful." Mio glances up sharply, then sidesteps before a heavy ball of collected slime bounces once upon a slick bungee before the weight becomes too much for it, severing and splattering down where she stood a moment ago. "Ick. Thanks. But-- right, so they should be helping with this? Do you think the hive overwhelmed them?" Mio inquires, now paying more attention to her surroundings, arms back to her sides at a ready stance. M4X animates a bouncey little shake of her head. "The thing is, I think at least one of 'em woulda come this way, right? This is where a lot of people ran to. But I haven't seen a single one. I... mrmm, I don't wanna wildly theorize or nothin', but from what I understaaaand... if the computer that governs them got compromised, maybe they never turned on in the first place?" "... Hmm. Even if it's only a theory, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks, Max." Mio bows slightly, an attempt at a reassuring smile on her face once she straightens back up. It seems to cheer M4X up somewhat, her avatar relaxing back to a cheerful, cheeky smile. "Now! Ya gunna buy somethin'?" <<include "M4X Speech">> <>

M4X is a vending machine modelled after classical Terran Salvage-Deco style. That is to say, she has a fairly mundane, largely brown facade and shape. The majority of the machine shell is comprised of a large window with rows and columns of products - most of which are snacks, some of which are everyday items... everyday for a tentacle monster research facility, anyway - identified with numbers and letters. This window is in something of a 'd' shape. The panel down the right of the window is given to a keypad, a currency input section (with support for credits, chit-cards and other assorted common coinage), and a recessed maintenance hatch. The top-left of the machine given over to a large, animated facade which occasionally blares adverts, recommendations or, most frequently, M4X's avatar. Beneath all this, at the bottom, lies the slot from which the goodies are dispensed. Within her animated screen, M4X favours the appearance of an animated racoon: 4 legs, a big, striped tail, an expressive and cartoonish face, and a bouncing, wobbling animation style as she dashes from column to column. This animation is procedurally-generated and seemingly limitless in what M4X is capable of commanding it to do, making her shockingly expressive for a brown box full of snacks on 4 stubby legs in a tentacle-infested hallway. The screen has occasionally tracking and flicker issues, but it's nothing serious. Said box is remarkably clean, too, with scorch marks around the walls and floor showing that M4X's anti-theft defense functions are running just fine.

"Your enthusiasm is admirable, but like I keep telling you: I can't verify your magical potential without a lengthy process of tests physical, mental and pyschological.

"Was I staring? Hmm. My apologies. I was merely wondering why you left the Techromancers. I thought you looked familiar, but it only just 'clicked'. The conference on Jarl's Court, if you recall? Our meeting was brief, admittedly." the Professor replies, earning a little snort from Dizz. "Oh yeah! You've got a better memory than me, for sure. Then again, that little moon knew how to party, if you knew where to look." the Gremlin snickers. "As for why I left? Eh, time felt right. That's how my people are, Doc.

I'm just getting an idea of your measurements. You know, big is in vogue right now. Ever considered a career in the adult entertainment sector?" she inquires 'innocently', beaming through her sharp teeth.

I can't help it if your new soul burns so bright and so dark all at once. Frankly, my dear, you're fascinating to look at... in more ways than one." Iziria purrs, peering over her spectacles.

The Professor isn't blind to this frankly unsubtle display, but she seems to be humouring it.

He chuckles, then points at his short horns just barely peaking through his untamed mess of hair. "Hey now, just admirin' your horns. Never could get the hang of them, myself." he admits with a wink. Ruzi doesn't seem to know how to parse this compliment, so she just frowns and mouthes a 'thanks?' before shifting her gaze away.

Blankenship mutters. During one of her routine stretch and posture checks, she casts a displeased eye down at her temporarily enhanced bust - evidently, it's throwing off her balance and usual posture. A little 'tut' from across the room draws her attention; it's Iziria, resting a cheek on her hand and smirking. "Having trouble, Professor? I'm afraid I can't relate. You should consider getting yourself a support pet, like me~." the Succubus almost whispers, before slicing a clawed finger down the snug fit of her sweater dress! It rips, of course, revealing Beezlebuu beneath; firmly supporting Iziria's enormous chest with ease, shifted into surprisingly intricate-lookig lingerie with flattened tentacles wrapped around her pale body for further lift and strength. Black on white, with an intentional level of 'squish', of course. With a wave of her hand, the Succubus repairs her dress, hiding it all away again. Blankenship, a little bemused by the display, shakes her head with a little scoff... but Mio wonders if she's considering it. <<else>> <<set $chatdiefail to 1>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $chatdie is 12>> <<if $Meh_Safe is 1 and $Ruzi_Safe is 1>> <<set $chatdiemercy to 0>> Every now and then, Ruzi peers past her corner to stare, wide-eyed, at Meh. This comes to a sudden and abrupt end when the Deer pushes her luck a little too far, Meh suddenly turning around - fast enough to make her slime-hewn dreads flick and swing with force - to give Ruzi a wide-eyed, terrifying glare. Understandable, Ruzi squeaks and hurries back behind her corner. Meh smirks, then turns back to the window. <<else>> <<set $chatdiefail to 1>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $chatdie is 13>> <<if $Selene_Safe is 1 and $Iziria_Safe is 1>> <<set $chatdiemercy to 0>> "Oh, Iziria!

Selene nods enthusiastically, hands clasped together with a little giggle. "Right?! Like, oh my gosh, her reaction!! And I can't believe..." Mio tunes out.

May I, like, inquire why you're totally checking me out right now?" Selene asks, tilting her head and gazing west. Ru'Drexi has been caught red-handed! Well, red-bodied. The gel-hewn girl lets out a little 'doh' and rubs the back of her head, grinning sheepishly. "Oh!... I've always sort of liked the sharp ear look, you know? I was taking some mental notes to try and replicate them later. That implant of yours gave me an idea for a support brace to keep them in shape. You don't mind, right?" she asks, tapping the tips of her index fingers together. Selene giggles with a shake of her head and a reassuring smile, eyes half-shut by her raised cheeks. "Aw, not at all! Imitation is, like, flattery, ya'know? Go for it~." the Elf giggles, the Jelli giving a sigh of relief and flashing an 'OK' sign with her gloved hands, running the other through her hair.

No long-term side-effects?" Blankenship asks her Elven companion. Selene tilts her head slightly, then shakes it confidently. "Oh my gosh nooo, it was quite extensively tested, don't worry!" she giggles before she slides a finger up that slender ear-cuff, turning the dampening effect all the way off. "There's absolutely zero degradation of my mental faculties - in fact, it can actually shield me from such via reducing stress and chemical responses to such. The sole danger is one of mental addiction - rather than anything explicitly chemical, a desire rather than a biological need. If you'd be interested, I'd be more than happy to furnish you with one of your own!" Selene insists. Blankenship pauses at that, then shakes her head. "I think I'll pass, but the offer is appreciated. Just take care of yourself." the Professor nods, her tone not patronizing.

Powder opines from the couch, smirking as he cranes his neck over and back to look lopsidedly at Blankenship. The Professor smirks slightly and looks up from her pad. "I suppose that's one way of putting it, yes. But even so, I was able to come away with some interesting observations, so it hasn't been a total wash." she muses, tapping her chin with a slender finger. Ru'Drexi pops up from behind the sofa's backrest with an evil grin. "You came away with that? Funny. We mostly just 'came'." she snickers, only to yelp when Powder - smirking, but rolling his eyes - drags her back out of sight and follows her down.

"Are you seriously telling me that you're not? I think everyone's just putting on a brave face, but look where ignoring problems got us in the first place!" she grumbles, eyes narrowing. Selene shakes her head gently, then runs a finger up her implant to shut it off entirely. "Well, here's me speaking at my best, Ruzi: we are safe. There is a single point of entry into this room from infested zones, carefully guarded and heavily reinforced. We are all at least somewhat on alert, just in case. And if worst comes to worst... we have Mio!~" she giggles, flashing the Android a wink, catching her off guard. Ruzi just huffs again, but concedes the matter with a tell-tale shrug and glance away.

Advancing cautiously at first, Mio lets out a noise of disapproval as Dizz slips past her - the door to their immediate left is sealed, unmarked with any signage unlike the other exits to the chamber in which they stand... laboratories, research rings... and to the north, subject pens. Ominous. "Eu-fuckin-reka, you beauty!" Dizz exclaims with a triumphant snicker, just short of letting out a 'whoop'. Mio tears her eyes away from the signs and flickering lights as the door swooshes open, Dizz stepping neatly inside - the infestation hasn't reached it! The Gremlin turns on her heels and grins, arms folding behind her head casually. "Looks good on my end, Synthy. C'mon!" she beckons with a jerk of her head. Mio takes another sweep of their surroundings, expecting the Gremlin's unsubtle cheer to draw trouble their way, but it seems they're in the clear... Mio follows her inside, the door sealing shut behind them. <<link "Onwards to safety. (Continue)" "Dizz Meeting 3">><</link>>

True to Dizz's word, the chamber beyond is unfinished - tiling on the walls is dismounted in places to reveal wiring and machinery beyond - but it's nothing that can't be surmounted. Compared to the sterile white of the facility beyond, the colour here is a welcoming cream beige. The lighting here is uncovered, shockingly warm in tone compared to the gloom of the last few rooms, which were tinged purple by infestation. Here, it's bright and sun-like, the lights unshielded by covers. There's half-assembled furniture, an empty bookshelf... up and down the stairs, doors off to the sides, sealed - perhaps nothing lies beyond them but vacuum. "... Cozy." Mio quips. Dizz shrugs, looking over her shoulder. The only trace of infestation is the slime she's tracked in with her... and the stuff stuck in Mio's metal boots. "But safe, looks like. So, here's the deal. I'll stay here, see if I can patch in the facility systems and lend you a hand, yeah? You can come and go, fix yourself up, whatevs. But if you do happen to rescue anyone else, regardless of your reasons, y'bring 'em here, alright? Don't gotta divert yourself and escort them, I'll try and get some drones online to do that for ya." Dizz outlines the conditions, hands on her hips again. She's strangely commanding for someone so cheerful... and so short. Mio rubs the back of her neck with a non-committal look on her face, running the situation through her head to cement the loopholes as they relate to her orders. Help people, even though they aren't in danger of death. That goes against her orders and puts her at risk. But those people could, in turn, help her to complete her goals. That's a gamble, but it's a good enough possibility to give her... flexibility. But in the end, it comes down to choice. Her choice. And then there's Dizz's vague promise of making it worthwhile, too, beyond the help she's already promised... That intrigues Mio. "... I'll see what I can do. Keep the door closed." Mio replies, taking a moment to check herself and her weaponry. Dizz, for her part, smiles knowingly and flashes a thumbs up, turning away and scanning the room, perhaps in search of clothing. Cute butt. Mio turns away to the door. The safety of this room is immediately intoxicating... it makes her want to slump down on the armless couch to her side, just off from the door. Whilst she ponders that, Dizz slips back into her field of view, occupying that couch, a simple lab coat far too long and far too 'small' draped over her shoulders. Turning around to kneel on the cushioning, she starts to fiddle with the terminal mounted by the door. "Oh, I'll do more than that... There! Check it. I can't upgrade that card of yours to clear Checkpoint B, but it should be able to open a few doors! Like the room doors down in the hab blocks back south, or some of the labs in this sector." Dizz explains with a smug grin, glancing up from her terminal for just a moment, then back to the screen. Level 1 Keycard upgraded! [What do you make of all this, B4B3?] Mio asks internally. It's not that she wants to keep the support unit's presence a secret - she mostly wants to avoid her and Dizz getting into excitable conversation. Sounds exhausting. It takes a moment for B4B3 to respond - evidently, her attention was focused elsewhere during that conversation. That's not anything unusual - AI are free minds, unshackled and capable of focusing on many things at once - like someone who sleepwalks through a class but answers impatient questions on the day's subject matter with perfect clarity. Mio soon feels the tingling rush of her presence sharing space with her mechanical mind, akin to a thin oil filling out the spaces in between her phantom 'thoughts'. [I'm curious! And her logic is sound. As your official, technical, kind-of supervisor, I think you're pretty authorized to go out of your way to rescue some cuties from these mean ol' monsters. But, your call!

Isolde is taking her guard duties seriously, though it may not initially look like it. Despite her relaxed posture - arms spread across the backrest just as widely as her legs are across the couch cushions - she's keeping her eyes glued to the door, even with her head tilted back. There's a slight tension to the massive Tiger's body, easily visible through the well-honed tone of her limbs and torso, the subtle stripe markings that dance across her sides emphasizing those little twitches here and there. While her eyes stay glued to the door, she acknowledges Mio's presence through a flick of one of her thick, rounded ears, nestled in amongst her wild mane of fiery hair. "Yo, Mio." she mutters, raising one hand up slightly from her rested position, her surviving lingerie creaking slightly from how tight it's worn on her athletic body. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"Nice to see some more faces around here."<<elseif $MERCASAVED > 5>>"Kickin' ass out there?

Clad in nothing but a set of tiger-print lingerie a tasteful one-size-too-small, Isolde cuts an intimidating figure. The Vari Tiger obviously cares deeply for her physical fitness, her body that of a well-toned athlete; and that's before taking into account her gigantic stature, towering over Mio and indeed most people she's seen in her artificial lifetime. She has rich, deeply-tanned skin, wildly fluffy sunset-orange hair, and a cascade of mahogany-brown stripes that dance across her body, particularly down her limbs. A pair of round-tipped ears peek out from her mane of hair - worn down to just past her shoulders - and her mighty tail bears similar stripes to those across her skin, that appendage proving its weight with each idle thump against the ground vibrating keenly through it. The same fur coats her wrists and ankles, thinning as it climbs higher, ending in powerful, clawed hands with subtly elongated fingers and padded feet with obsidian nails. She rests back against a large couch made for three, right in the centre - reducing it to a couch made for one with what little space remains! - and keeps her burning yellow eyes keenly trained on the sole entrance and exit into the safe rooms, ready to spring into action at any moment, her body tensing at the slightest sound. She is a Vari - sister race to the Invari, among Terra's most populous species. Despite her imposing size, she would be classified as an 'M2' - while her face is humanoid, she possesses bestial ears, a tail, and fearsome claws upon specialized hands and feet. Her abs are sculpted around an innie-style navel, giving them a pleasant, inviting curve.

Blankenship sits with one leg crossed over the other, leaning back with good posture and arms straight-forward to work away at her personal datapad. She remains remarkably well-dressed given the circumstances, but it's evident that her recent experience with the Code Moo prototype has rendered the tight embrace of her corset a tad unbearable - her remarkable chest is freed and on display, nipples covertly - but barely - concealed beneath one of the sashes of her outfit, repurposed to hang from her neck like a shawl. Nonetheless, the rest of her eccentric outfit remains intact, from those fine boots to her extravagant hat. She offers a polite but somewhat tired smile to Mio as she passes, eyes flicking from her to the datapad and her own whirring thumbs, never skipping a beat, never making a single typo in her relentless note-taking. "Ah, the industrious Droid." she remarks with a slight nod, taking her eyes off of the pad to focus on Mio fully... and yet, still typing away. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"I do hope your expedition is going well, dear."<<elseif $MERCASAVED > 5>>"Very industrious, it seems.

Ervina appears to have no troubles in life, save for boredom. She's lounging upon one of the ground floor's couches, splayed across it from end to end in her almost total nudity, one leg lazily hanging off the edge whilst the other extends up and over the opposing armrest, one arm joining her hanging leg whilst the other rests beneath her bust. Every now and then her coral-toned hair tentacles will quiver and unravel, one by one, stretching out and revealing their vividly-pattenred suckers before they fold back into her punky bob. She makes no effort to hide her irritation with the lack of entertainment here, grumbling and sighing and clucking her tongue. The pink dot of her visor sometimes shifts over to Mio, but otherwise drifts up to the ceiling. No doubt she's occupying herself with things saved on her heads-up-display. "Yasu, Mio. Sup?" she asks, head tilting just enough to shift her tentacles... and her chest. Her hastily-nabbed, undersized jacket is doing a poor job of providing any modesty to her top half... whereas nothing exists to contain those hips. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"This place is gettin' a little less boring. Good job."<<elseif $MERCASAVED > 5>>"Almost gettin' crowded in here. Think ya could bring some snacks?"<</if>> <<include "Ervina Speech">><<set $Drop_Block to 1>><<set $tile_up to "no">><<set $tile_left to "no">><<set $tile_down to "no">><<set $tile_right to "no">>

Ervina is approximately 1% Octopus, 99% hips. A cepholapod Invari, she easily rates an M2: her aquatic, sheening skin is a vibrant electric blue of a shade that puts Dizz to shame, contrasting sharply with the coral of her hair-tacles and a number of black-and-orange blotch markings that rush across her mostly nude figure. Starting from the top, a further splash of colour is added by the sleek, chromed visor affixed to her face, edges disappearing beneath her gently-quivering tentacles. The central black slit houses a track that allows a bright pink 'eye' to swing back and forth, making it blatant wherever Ervina happens to be looking: in interaction with Mio, it's usually squarely on her chest. She has a somewhat roundish face with a pouty resting expression, countered by plush, purple lips usually twisted into a smirk. The tentacles that decorate her head resemble a messy hairstyle, framing her face but in a chaotic and disorganized way. Each individual tentacle is stout, fat at the base and thinner at the tip, with a smooth outside and a lightly-ribbed underside with small but defined suction cups that her own flesh seems to be immune to. They write not unlike the snakes of a Medusa. Were they attached to literally anyone else, the rack the tall Octopus woman boasts would be her central physical feature, heaving tits barely covered as they are by an ill-fitting, slime-splattered jacket. They place second, however, by a clear mile. They're blown away by the woman's voluptuous hips, their shape and width only enhanced by Ervina's surprisingly slim waist - or perhaps it only appears that way by comparison, given that her figure largely appears soft and padded. She's completely nude from the chest down, for it seems none of her tailored panties survived her encounter with the Glob; either that, or she simply doesn't wear them! Her legs boast equally impressed thighs, big enough to crush clams, but they begin to slim as they travel downwards, the woman's feet matching her hands in their surprisingly slender size. They're well-kept, too - Mio notes a lack of any signs of work upon Ervina's palms and fingers, despite her hands-on occupation as an engineer. Suspicious.

Professor Blankenship is a fair-skinned Elven woman of Terran descent, with bright, coral-orange eyes, wavy, well-kept chestnut hair worn past her shoulders with curled ends, and a rather buxom figure. A proud member of the Techromancers, her outfit is styled upon their traditional uniform: that of a witch. But far from the black robes and hat of old, her outfit is a sea of shimmering blue tones, from deepest navy to electric azure, with many individual pieces featuring different colourations on the interior and exterior weave. Her wide-brimmed hat is a deep navy tone on the outside, but brandishes a cooler, brighter blue on the inside, along with a vibrant sash of cyan around the hat's pointed lopsided tip; pinned in place with a silver moon-shaped crest pin. Similar silver comprises the frames of her half-rimmed spectacles, with jewellery of silver or bright, cyan metal or lapis lazuli adorning much of her body: a silver choker with a cyan metal centrepiece in the shape of a point-bottomed shield, large, triangular cyan earrings, a thick silver bangle on her right arm and an azure-banded, silver-framed slender smart device on her left, several silver rings with lapis inserts, gloss-shined azure polish upon daringly long nails, and a sleek but sturdy looking lapis-plated harness around her incredible chest, affording lift to her weighty, natural rack. This, too, is capped with that half-moon sigil, right above her cleavage. A short cape - navy on the outside but glittering, gradating blues on the inside - is worn upon two shoulder straps, with separated navy sleeves worn on each arm up to the shoulders, each adorned with a moon sigil. These straps are connected to her midnight-blue corset - though this is currently undone, allowing her recently-beleaguered chest space to breathe and be free - above a trim, bright blue belly top which transitions neatly into a glittering navy short-skirt flanked by sheer, light-blue shawls from her corset, rushing down either hip to expose generous windows of plush thighs before meeting thigh-high leggings that match her sleeves. A pair of neatly heeled shoes complete the ensemble, each capped with a half-moon lapis crest upon the lace band. An experienced woman in terms of attitude, if not in appearance; Blankenship has a learned manner, an inquisitive yet measured resting face, but the ethereal agelessness of her Elven kind. This youthful perfection contrasts against her body, with her impressive chest and curvaceous hips, giving her a mature appearance. Her ears are long and sharp-tipped. She possesses two visible beauty spots: one beneath and to the right of her shiny red lips, and one upon her right breast, inner side, sometimes obscured between her cleavage depending on how she crosses her arms. While she seems friendly, Mio feels odd about the way Blankenship regards her; something in her eyes suggests that she's dismantling and reassembling Mio in her head at all times, figuring out what makes the Android tick.

<> <<if $M_iRIS_Met is 0>> <<set $M_iRIS_Met to 1>> Mio pauses before approaching the vending machine. Unlike the one in the corridor to the south, this one looks... new. Newer than new, even: it's designed with neo-futuristic aesthetics, all clinical shiny white, with an elegantly curved frame... and, oddly enough, an interior completely full of slowly swirling slime of a soft pink tone. In fact, Mio can see no obvious way of retrieving the items within: There's no slot, no input pad, just the big window. Frowning, Mio takes a step forward, and then speaks up. "Ah... hello? Are you functional?" "Oh!" chimes out a soft, effeminate voice, the gel within the oddly-shaped machine rippling lightly with vibration. It begins to shift and polarize and pigment in parts that appear random at first, but swiftly bring themselves into order... it's some sort of projection, created within the gel itself - further obscuring the shrouded products suspended within. Within moments, the image is clear! Mio blinks, and a fluffy-earred face blinks back at her: a fox girl, with frost-pink eyes so narrow as to almost be shut due to a constant and serene smile, elegant, pinned-back hair of a pink tone to match, pale skin, and swirling markings across the eyes and spiralling to fine points upon the cheeks. The face fills the space on the machine, towering over Mio. "Apologies! I was in standby mode due to a lack of... clientele. None with credits to offer, anyway. My name is iRIS, and I am a prototype automat unit undergoing testing in this facility. I'm sorry, but I don't appear to have a record of your identity..." the face trails off, glancing from side to side and around Mio to the room beyond her, in all its infested, hellish glory. "... But I'm going to assume you are here to help, in some manner? I'll log you as a guest and ask no further questions on the matter." she smiles, her projected head twirling on the spot for a moment, appearing 3D... Mio realizes that it is! The gel is pushing outwards in places to provide texture and depth. Fascinating. "May I have your name, guest?" "It's Mio. Just Mio." the Android nods, taking a look around to make sure they're not in threat of interruption. All clear. "Mio, Just Mio! Understood..." iRIS trails off, and Mio raises a hand and opens her mouth in frowning protest, only to stop when the vending machine giggles! "Ihihi. Just kidding. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Mio! It is nice to meet you. Please let me know if any of my products can be of service to you - I'm afraid I cannot override my core programming to give them away, even given the circumstances... but I assure you, my prices are reasonable!~" she insists, and before Mio can comment on the lack of any sort of menu, iRIS' face shrinks into the corner as her previously looming visage is replaced with a colourful display detailing each item in her inventory. Her head glides past these rows and columns in line with Mio's gaze, evidently ready to provide clarifications and answer questions as asked. The gel around each product, meanwhile, becomes clear as water... no, as glass! No distortion. "... You're pretty unique, huh?" Mio remarks, the Synthetic voicing her admiration freely. iRIS' floating little foxy head giggles. "Aw, you said pretty! Thanks!~ Now, can I get you anything?" <<else>> Mio steps up to iRIS, quickly checking her surroundings before settling in for a conversation with the animated automat. The gel swiftly forms into the smiling, kitsune-like face of iRIS. "Ah, guest Mio! How can I be of service?" <</if>> <<set $Shop to 1>> <<set $Drop_Block to 1>> <<include "iRIS Shop Setup">> <<include "iRIS Speech">> <><<set $tile_up to "no">><<set $tile_left to "no">><<set $tile_down to "no">><<set $tile_right to "no">>

iRIS is an experimental vending machine created from byproduct research into alternative uses for Glob slime. Though it may sound initially repellant, her exterior is anything but: iRIS is housed in a clinical-white, rounded-edged frame without a sharp corner in sight, all surrounding a large window of soft-pink gel with a number of products shrouded within in a typical rows-and-columns format. When eyes fall upon a slot, the gel turns from cloudy to clear and mostly colourless, allowing the viewer to see the item without obstruction. From a side-on glance, however, the products are left in silhouette. In the center of this living mass of gel is iRIS' user interface, maximizing space for products in the machine: she simply directs the gel to form her desired appearance, typically taking on the bust of a Kitsune woman of elegant standing and friendly, gorgeous visage. The space around her is largely clean, for her self-defence mechanisms are numerous and creative; that gel can extend quite a bit and conform to her will! Her frame is immaculately spotless. iRIS' face gladly ducks out of the way to avoid obscuring eyesight of any of the products she contains, simply moving elsewhere within her organic 'screen'. She radiates a cool temperature, the gel capable of preserving food and even selectively heating it without compromising other compartments, allowing for hot food on demand. Not useful to Mio, but impressive.

Jii'Kii is a Sneerz, an alien renowned for superior technology, superior intelligence, and a superior sense of superiority - at least, this is what the Sneerz are renowned for amongst the Sneerz, which explains Jii'Kii's attitude and soul-rending resting glare. She has a sharply-angled face, with a slender jawline that accentuates her hateful eyes. Like most Sneerz, everything about her is pastel - gentle colours that harshly conflict with her personality. She has soft green akin to a lovely shade of mint, with large, solid-tone pink almond-edge eyes with a faint glow to them. Her hair is remarkably fluffy in texture, soft-shorn short except for a wide fauxhawk in the centre and back, coloured a pale purple. Her eyebrows are of a similar texture, but smoothly kempt and sharply contoured. She has a pair of short, sharp ears, and a pair of springy antennae the same colour as her flesh which emerge from her forehead and curve back on either side of her hair, twice-segmented and rounded at the tips. Her eyelashes are thick, long, and deepest black, framing her large eyes. When she deigns to speak, her tongue is long, thin, and ends in a sharp point. Her body is covered in faint markings akin to circuit diagrams, save for her right arm: it's missing from the shoulder, replaced with a sleek, Sneerztek prosthetic. A subtle pauldron guards the connection port, the whole thing constructed from a wine-red metal with a sleek shine, guarding biomechanical muscle-cables that twist and tense with every movement the arm makes. These sections are guarded by clear, sturdy windows, polished so finely as to be invisible in all but the most light-catching of angles. Jii'Kii wears a bodysuit-- or, wore. What remains of it slings tightly to her organic arm and her legs, but it's been split right down the middle from neck to groin, leaving her entire torso on display to wandering eyes. Evidently used to being ogled, she barely bothers to cover herself. A small patch of lavender fuzz sits atop her slit. She has an athletic figure, well-honed and well-maintained, with only faint scars; a couple down her left side along her ribs and on her hip, an assortment around her right shoulder where the port is installed, and two chip-like cuts on the right of her jaw, subtle enough to be unseen from most angles.

Jii'Kii emits a hostile aura as she remains standing, leaning against a wall with a scowl on her pastel-toned features. With her trademark bodysuit hanging off of her arms and legs in tatters, she hasn't bothered - or, perhaps, has been unable - to cover herself up, though her arms remain crossed firmly over her chest. She's cleaned up her hair, at least - even now, she takes the occasional break from guarding her chest to fluff up that fauxhawk. One leg crosses over the other to cover her lower body's modesty, but it really only draws attention to the prize between her thighs... The Sneerz's hostility isn't limited to the mere air around her - once Mio enters her field of vision, those solid-tone eyes latch onto her. At least... Mio thinks so. It's really hard to tell with Sneerz. "Haven't been reduced to a sexbot, yet? Good for yooou." she scoffs, tilting her head as she gives Mio an unimpressed look up and down. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"I don't know why you bother rescuing these idiots, personally.

Flakk may well be one of the largest people Mio has ever met outside of battle, but her slouching, shy body language and soft voice somehow leave Mio feeling as though they stand at equal height. Flakk is a Befrar, a member of a once-unified cybernetic scourge now disparate and linked only by their unfortunate origins. She is a gigantic woman who has to stoop just to occupy the workshop space on this basement level, let alone to reach the bench itself. She is remarkably pale, her skin having a deathly palour to it with a faint aquatic sheen. Her eyes are clearly artificial; solid-black pupils are surrounded by twin rings of bright, glowing pink, separated by another ring of black. Her expression is morose, but kind, with her smile betrayed by a half-shutting of the eyes thanks to raised cheeks. Her mouth and indeed entire jawline is covered by a thick, triple-belted collar, shrouding the lower half of her face. A pair of short, slightly curved sensor horns decorate her forehead, stark black with pink diodes blinking at the tips and in rings around the base: these flank her messy silver-toned hair, a fairly wild mop plonked atop her head with little regard for style but kept somewhat uniformly trimmed in length, dancing onto her shoulders and tussled at random. They largely cover the aural sensors that have replaced her ears, sharp and pointed obsidian spires swept back along her skull. She has a physique to match her height; amazonian is the best word for it. While it's clear that she was likely significantly more trimmed in the past, she's filled out a bit since the cessation of hostilities with the Befrar: she has remarkable hips that pad out her outfit nicely, along with a chest that dwarves Mio in size... but then again, everything about Flakk does that: it's fairly to-scale on her body. Her arms are blatantly prosthetic and somewhat menacing with contrasting black metal construction, all angles and sharp edges, whereas her legs are more subtle up until calves, metal disappearing down into steel-capped working boots. Well - arm, singular. The other is, of course, currently occupied. Speaking of those boots, Flakk's outfit has survived her encounter largely intact, likely due to its sturdy nature and its... adjustable design. It largely consists of strapped belts, giving her skin plenty of room to breathe. A harness-top strains against her chest, with a tattered lab coat worn above that - full, cloud-blue fabric covers her tits - no bra! - but gives way to straps that dance and crisscross her stomach and shoulders. A pair of short shorts in a matching pale blue with large pockets descend into loose interlaced belts that dance down her legs like heavily-slitted pants. When her hand isn't tinkering with the bench, it's slung into her coat pockets, fiddling with junk. If she turns, Mio can catch glimpses of the flat, sleek armoured plates in obsidian black that decorate her back, covering up connection ports for war modules long-since forbidden by Galactic law. It's unclear what Flakk was before her conversion: she bears no obvious tells of Terran nor Alien races.

Flakk stands quietly by the workbench, easily filling the space with her bulk. Yet, simultaneously, she appears so small, a result of her uneasy posture and reserved body language. She seems to be slowly, methodically tinkering with something, though she takes regular breaks to straighten up and stretch, often staring at nothing for a moment before returning to her distractions. She remains mostly clothed, her outfit having been easier to simply displace rather than tear or remove - the exception being her strappy 'pants', belts crisscrossing down from her hips to her steel-capped boots, torn down the front and back where her Mimic captor evidently got a tad too impatient. As a result, she keeps her lab coat done up on the lower two buttons, affording herself some modesty. Her expression is as ghostly and morose as ever, but that's just how her face rests. She jumps slightly when Mio enters her sphere of awareness, but she soon regards the smaller Synthetic with a warm smile - translated through the gentle closing of her eyes and rising of cheeks, jaw of course obscured by her ever-present belted collar. "... Mio." she acknowledges in her quiet, whisper-like way. Her smile relaxes somewhat, but her friendly expression remains. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"...

Selene reclines on an armchair, her long, pointed elven ears twitching slightly as she fans herself with a gloved hand. It seems she's still more than a little heated from her time under the FUM's thumb, her pale body flushed in several places despite the moderate temperature of the dormitory. Her lab coat has dried off somewhat, but remains stained with purple streaks. The way it frames her hourglass figure, resting upon her impressive bust and riding across her sides like half-drawn curtains... it's probably not intentionally provocative, but it's certainly distracting. Upon seeing Mio, Selene's eyes light up in adoration. She leans forwards and ceases her otherwise ceaseless fanning, beaming warmly towards her synthetic saviour, arms clasped before her in a way that only serves to push her cleavage up further. "Mio! My brave little knight!~" she exclaims, smiling so strongly as to force her own eyes shut with the rise of her cheeks. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"Are you keeping safe out there?

It would be easy to consider Selene to be concentrated sunshine with the way she lights up the room, but she is, in fact, an Elf. The Terran-born Pyksielander is blessed with pale, smooth skin, incredibly long blonde hair that shines with carefully-kept conditioning - a few strands displaced given her recent adventures, also to blame for a streak of purple down the back - and eyes like finely-cut emeralds above a petite nose and shiny, plush lips. She's rarely seen without a smile, giving her otherwise large eyes a constant half-shut slenderness, the outer corners almost pointing directly to her long, stiff ears - one of which is decorated with a techy-looking metal clasp along the top edge, from tip to base. Her eyebrows are slim and pointed, a little darker than her hair. Her cheeks have a subtle softness to them - and a rosy blush - but not enough to detract from her sharply cut jawline. Selene is currently wearing little more than a lab coat, a pair of disposable gloves, and long-ish boots with daring but flat heels. This unfinished outfit has been well-marinaded in hive-flesh, leading to much of its white surface being streaked and smeared in purple slime. It doesn't exactly hang off of her body, for her body fills it well; Selene has a buxom figure with a subtle but definite edge of tone down her arms and legs that indicates attentive fitness, even if the size of her chest and her thick thighs may argue otherwise. Of the latter, however, any occasion that calls for the Elf to tense reveals them to be strong beneath the layer of plushness. Her limbs and neck are a little longer than would be strictly 'normal' to see on an In/Vari, adding to the Pyksielander's graceful charms. She's doing her best to cover herself up with her lab coat, but it seems the buttons have been ripped clear out by whatever tugged it open in the first place. As a result, she keeps her legs crossed in her seat, and leaves the coat draped over her tits, curtaining her weighty bust delightfully. Selene regards Mio fondly, her smile intensifying whenever she takes notice of the Android. Whether this is a result of the lingering aphrodisiacs in her system or otherwise is unclear to Mio, but there's something in the Elf's eyes that seems deeper than surface attraction. It makes Mio feel a strange... 'warmth', in her chest. Odd.

Iziria relaxes in an armchair, legs swung up over one of the armrests to use her knees as a platform for writing her documents. She's busily scribbling away with practiced gusto, tearing through page after page of woefully complex-looking forms... when she isn't taking a break to stretch, yawn, and power nap. Greatly assisting in her productivity is the ever-present Beezlebuu, the monster beneath her clingy sweaterdress often using its tentacles to pass Iziria new writing implements seemingly carved from the same obsidian that comprised the intricate coffin in which Mio found her in. Whenever she stretches, she does so with a needlessly salacious arch of her back, a knowing grin on her serene face as her black dress undulates with the motions of her pet beneath it... particularly around her well-hugged chest. She spares a glance for Mio, but seems incapable of writing without keeping an eye on her own pale fingers. She seems to welcome the excuse to take these little breaks, however... either that, or she welcomes the excuse to blatantly ogle Mio. Succubi will be Succubi, after all... "Ah, if it isn't our specialist guest.~" she eventually utters, pulling her ornate spectacles down a tad to give Mio a scoffing smile... and, with a twist of her torso, a look down the laced net window that exposes much of her cleavage. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"You're working ever so hard! Makes me sweat just thinking about it!~"<<elseif $MERCASAVED > 5>>"My my, you've saved the Cleaners quite a bit of work.

Iziria is one big bundle of mischief - emphasis on 'big'. Her petite horns and slender, whip-thin spaded tail that writhes behind her like a snake hunting for prey easily betray her as a Succubus, but even if they didn't, one wouldn't be awarded many points for guessing. Her sheer porcelain-white skin, her black sclera eyes with burning hot-pink slitted iris, her incredibly curvy figure... and the way she regards those speaking to her as a starving man might a burger in the middle of a desert. Even Mio isn't spared the hunger in the Demon's cheeky gaze, her black-painted lips constantly curled into a scheming smile. Despite this, Iziria is not outwardly hostile, by any means. Ironically for what she is, she's also one of the most well-clothed residents of the facility! Hidden away from any tentacular aggression by her own tentacular aggressor, she's retained her entire outfit, covering a remarkable amount of Succubus skin in exchange for conforming tightly to the shape of that flesh, accentuating it, proving true the old belief that sometimes, more is more. Her outfit consists of a black sweater dress with a snug turtleneck and a vertically ribbed knit texture, pulled down to hug her hips but barely covering anything more than a skirt would. She goes commando beneath this, wearing a pair of garter-belted semi-sheer stockings that dance down her legs and end in neat, clacky-heeled business shoes. A few little trinket piercings decorate her sharp ears, and these trinkets appear elsewhere upon her body: silver bangles upon either wrist worn above her sleeves, and several small pins upon the lace-band of either shoe. Her nails are long and sheen black like onyx, matching what should be the 'whites' of her eyes and her shiny, plump, smirking lips. She has a very subtle nick-through scar down her right eyebrow, but is otherwise unblemished save for tactically placed black beauty spots that seem to change locations whenever one stops paying attention to them; sometimes they decorate aside of her lips and cheek, other times they might appear on what little is visible of her thighs... until she uncrosses and re-crosses her legs. A pair of leathery wings in that now-trademarked black sprout from her lower back, just above her tail. They're usually folded and tucked away. They look too small to actually fly with, especially given her curves! Occasionally, Iziria's sweater dress moves and shifts around unnaturally. That's just Beezlebuu, her pet tentacle monster... and, if the lift in her tightly-hugged chest is any indication, part-time bra. The way she regards Mio makes the poor Android feel like a fly upon the web of a spider... be those literal insects or a pair of tribal-minded Invari.

Ruzi is a rather short Deer Vari, with rich, dark skin and hair that could easily spark furious debate between being called 'brownish blonde' or 'blondey brown', tussled and messy. Her white coat makes it obvious that she's a Researcher for the facility, though she seems quite exhausted by her recent trials and tribulations; evidently, not a very 'hands on' Researcher. Despite presenting feminine in all other aspects, Ruzi has a pair of mightily impressive antlers that, were they counted, would significantly increase her height. These branching horns invariably end in carefully blunted tips. She often bumps and gets them stuck on things, but when she isn't directly talking to someone about them - during which her mood is typically sour - she can be seen admiring them in whatever reflection comes to hand. She has a somewhat pear-shaped figure, especially given her diminutive height. Despite that, she has a fairly mature face, albeit often screwed into an adorable pout. A somewhat broad nose suits her face shape, and her lips are unpainted but pleasantly full. Her eyes burn a snow-blue hue, pale but piercing... were they not behind half-lidded, dark-painted eyes, her makeup staining her cheeks in dark streams, mostly wiped away. She has a pair of floppy, fuzzy ears that match her hair, a sprightly little spade-shaped tail with a soft, cream underside, but her legs are perfectly humanoid rather than ending in hooves. Her outfit has survived mostly intact, but residual aphrodisiacs rock through her system and keep her shirt and coat unbuttoned to relief the pressure. She still seems pretty drunk off of her encounter, and isn't up for much in the way of discussion.

Ruzi has forsaken chairs, instead finding comfort in leaning against one of the doors to the unfinished rooms beyond. She sits upon the floor with her knees tucked up to her chest, left in a state of semi-undress - the occasional shudder and little shuffle she performs clues one in on the amount of aphrodisiac still coursing through her body. Her shirt lies open and unbuttoned for this very reason - skin too sensitive for the tight embrace of her top - but her modesty is protected by her knees. Beholding her from here, Mio can't help but wonder who's shorter: Ruzi, or Dizz? Not including those impressive antlers, of course. Ruzi shudders whenever she leans back too far that they -clunk- against the door behind her, grumbling softly as she does so. Upon the most recent -clunk-, she takes notice of Mio, blinking repeatedly. She still isn't quite up and aware of her surroundings, it seems. She hugs her knees a little tighter, then tilts her head. "Oh, uh... hey there, Miss Synth." she says after a slight hesitation - Mio is pretty sure she's forgotten her name... <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"It, uh!

Ru'drexi and Powder have occupied a space by the great bay window overlooking the moon's surface, snuggled together on a couch. The Jelli, Ru'drexi, is more or less lounging on her more solid partner, the Helzent named Powder. It's a sea of vibrant red and pastel blue against the dark vat-leather of the couch, the vibrant violet light pouring in from the window shimmering through Ru'drexi's translucent body in curious ways. They occasionally speak to one another softly, often ending in either a huffed bark of a laugh from Powder or a pleasant but quiet little giggle from Ru'drexi. As Mio approaches, the pair both look her way. Powder gives a nod of recognition - careful not to bump his wife with his horns - while Ru'drexi gasps softly and lifts a gloved arm to wave, grinning wide enough to shut her eyes. "Mio! Good to see you!" Ru'drexi exclaims, shuffling off of her husband slightly - only for Powder to snag her in closer with a lazy arm. "Mm. You keepin' alert out there?" <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>> "It's good to see we're not the only ones here!

Ru'Drexi and Powder Snow are a Jelli and Helzent, respectively. These two species are offshoots of the same, singular source, representing biological freedom and biological 'perfection'. Ru'Drexi is a vibrant red woman with a body made from a firm-looking translucent gel, which clouds to a more opaque degree around her head; her hair is made of the same substance but darker, worn in a bob-styled semi-pixie cut and comprised of layered tentacles ending in tapered curls. Her arms and legs are decorated with shiny black latex gloves and boots up to the shoulders and thighs, affording her the scaffolding she needs to better maintain her morphable form. The bands conform tightly to her body, creating plenty of skindentation and squish around her thighs in particular. Before she left her room, she tossed on a deliberately ragged, white tanktop with a faded band logo and some hip-hugging shorts with wide flares. Her build is well-sculpted but somewhat conservative; a slender physique with a decent chest and cute hips... but, of course, given what she is, she could change this at will! Her expressions are not constrained by the sculpting of her face. Sometimes she smiles so brightly that it changes the shape of her entire head! If she has ears, they're hidden beneath her hair. Her eyes are a solid, bright blue, complimenting her red hues wonderfully. The area around her eyes is selectively darkened in an imitation of makeup, and her lips are a rich, wine red to differentiate them from the rest of her face. Powder Snow, meanwhile - or just Powder - has a much more solid form, opaque and pastel blue in tone with shiny black, jagged stripes indented slightly across his body. He has a flat chest with two flat, dark markings where nipples would be expected, those stripes dancing across his pecs and terminating in swooping, sharp points towards the centre of his ribcage. He has a decent set of abs on him, but these aren't exactly 'earned' - Helzent are shapeshifters as well, albeit trading enhanced stability for the process taking significantly longer. If one pays close attention to his sunken stripes, one would notice them glistening and shifting: windows into the dark ooze that comprises his body beneath the soft blue exterior. He is currently shirtless but had the good sense to put on a pair of comfortable-looking long pants with ample pockets: coal-black, of course. Aside from a pair of well-worn sneakers and some open-backed gloves, that's it for his outfit. It's difficult not to notice the bulge that snakes down the right leg of his pants, despite how roomy they seem! He has a rather skinny physique, but wears it well, especially with that deliberately sculpted tone; the word 'lithe' comes to mind. He has a face that meshes 'rugged' and 'boyish' - he could easily find work as a supermodel, but would perhaps need to lose the lazy smirk. Like Ru'Drexi, darkened rings surround his eyes, his lips are a midnight blue, but unlike his wife he has visible ears - short, but pointed - and 'real' hair, fluffy and quiffed up with occasional adjustments from his right hand, dark at the base but silver-tipped. A pair of slender, short but sharp-looking horns emerge from beneath this mop of hair, a dark black with a ridged texture to them. When he speaks, his tongue is long and forked.

'Meh' has occupied the space just north of her 'parents', looking out onto the surface of Vi-16 as she lounges upon a throne formed of her own coiled tail. She still cuts an intimidating figure, despite her relaxation - perhaps it's the way she lies almost completely still, no shuffling or fidgeting. The purple predator simply stares with those burning, toxic-pink eyes, glancing at Mio not by turning her head, but through the reflection in the bay window instead. She does, eventually, raise a gloved arm to give her a dismissive, wrist-curling wave before she lowers it back down to grace her hip. It's at this point that Mio realizes that the artificial Lamia is, effectively, mooning the entire room... Still staring at her through her reflection, Meh's glare bares down on Mio. It's incredibly difficult to tell what her expression is meant to convey... but it burns, heavy-lidded and oozing with contempt. "What." she spits curtly. Nice. <<if $MERCASAVED >= 3 and $MERCASAVED < 5>>"People in here keep staring at me. Makes me wanna eat them. I won't... I guess."<<elseif $MERCASAVED > 5>>"You've made it crowded in here. Well done.

'Meh', as Mio has come to call her, has only been alive for a short time and has spent more or less every moment of said life moody. A product of research into combining Glob matter with samples derived from Jelli and Helzent subjects, she could be considered to be Ru'Drexi and Powder's 'daughter'. Despite this, Meh is clearly an adult in mind and body, born intelligent - and born pissed. With a working product title of 'Slammia', her body reflects this; Meh is a Lamia made of running, viscous slime, her flesh less stable than a Jelli and more opaque - not to mention poisonous. From her generous hips and upwards, she has the shape of a rather slender woman with long, slim arms and dainty shoulders. This is only in comparison to her rather massive size, however - in comparison to Mio, these latex-gloved arms possess strength in abundance. She has an uncovered chest which is somewhat dwarfed by her hips, though with her shapeshifting ability, this is never a defined thing. She has a surprisingly sharply-angled face despite the way her toxic slime rolls down her form, but it never drips off of her unless she wants it to; like liquid running from a tipped plate, it instead rolls back and is absorbed into her flesh once again. Her features are smooth compared to the roiling downward chaos of the rest of her body, with a hateful glare always present in her baleful, toxic-pink eyes and their pit-like black pupils. Despite this, Mio would easily consider her to be rather beautiful were it not for the death stare. She has an abundance of thick dreads made of thicker gel that comprise her hair, most of them slicked back and falling past her shoulders, with a few riding upon them or down her front towards her chest, framing her face. From the hips down, she is serpentine in nature. A powerful tail is typically coiled beneath her for her to rest upon, forming an ample, shapely rear before turning into smooth, wavey 'pulses' of slime that slowly run down the length of her lower body. The very tip of that tail shows the ability to shift in size and shape with ease, but for now, it's just a tapered tip. Despite the way her body runs, she leaves no stains upon the ground. It seems she's just as good at absorbing things as she is at ejecting them!

<<set $speech_passage to "Isolde Stream">>"What was that about a failed recording?" Mio asks after some healthy hesitation: after all, it's enough of a sore spot for the Tiger that she obliterated a perfectly good (and perfectly sturdy) desk over it. Isolde opens one eye wider and seems to glare at Mio for a moment, but she soon relaxes, reason prevailing... fingers digging deeper into the backrest of her couch. Fingers and claws. "Hmph. My side-gig. Girl's gotta have more than one hustle, y'dig? I do cam shows in my spare time... got the body for it, so why not? I get paid in creds and compliments, even if they're usually spelled wrong." she snorts, striped tail lifting up and off the ground slightly before thumping back down. "So, y'know, that Leash thing gets the drop on me mid-show - just meant to be some light lingerie modelling - and I figure ah shit, well, at least it'll boost my ratings. I was holdin' onto that thought in between rounds of squirtin' myself braindead on that fuckin' thing!" she sighs, reaching up with a toned arm to -smack- a palm onto her face, slowly dragging it down her aggravated features - harshly enough to pull down on her lower eyelids for a moment. She lets go of herself before the image becomes too gruesome, thankfully. "You know the rest. Stupid little bastard thing knocked the camera over when it pounced me, so all anyone got to see was my damn ceiling. So much for silver linings... Never have hope, Mio! Always expect and prepare for the worst!" she grumbles, gripping the backrest hard enough to make it creak in protest. Mio can't help but find that mindset to be more than slightly melodramatic, but perhaps it's best not to poke the Tiger right now, so to speak. "Well... maybe you can do it on your own terms, next time?" she suggests in an effort to be helpful, keeping her tone optimistic-- well, as optimistic as the usually droning, grumpy-faced Android can. Isolde shoots a glare at Mio again and, to her surprise... blushes! "... Man I'm too shy for that, bikinis and shit is one thing, but that was... I couldn't have done that without the push!... ugh, drop it!" Isolde growls with a warning edge to her tone, causing Mio to raise her hands palms-flat in surrender. Fine, fine! Dropping. <<include "Isolde Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Isolde About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio asks, moving to rest her hip against the arm of Isolde's couch. The request seems to come as a surprise to the heavyweight big cat, shown in her brows raising and her tail twitching upwards. Isolde shrugs, rubbing the back of her neck with one hand. "Me? I'm... a security guard. Here. What else do you wanna know? Narrow it down, dude." she grumbles, not particularly happy with being asked to think on the spot. Mio pauses, then nods: fair enough, it's a bit vague. "Ok, well... how about where you're from?" the Synthetic asks. Isolde clucks her rough tongue and leans back again, giving a little nod. "Small planet named Ealdon. Pretty much one big farmland save for its sole major ocean, lots of rivers 'n shit. If it can be grown, chances are someone's growin' it there. Was born and raised there, my 'Ma had her own ranch. Pretty much as soon as I can walk and say at least one word, I was workin'. Good life." she smiles, eyes briefly falling from the exit door and onto the far wall, as though seeing through it to imaginary great plains beyond. Mio nods, but notes an absence... "No father? Just your mother? If you don't mind me asking, sorry-" Mio starts to backpedal with a grimace, only to be interrupted by Isolde's amused snort. "Huh? No, no father. At all. I'm clone-grown, baby." she jerks a thumb towards herself and grins, then directs that thumb to her navel. Despite her claims, she has one... a natural-looking innie. Cloned lifeforms are usually smooth there. "Just a little cosmetic tweak. Clone-grown's becomin' more popular these days: less time spent out of action for the bearin' parent, accessibility of children to single parents, and a huge decline in developmental issues seein' as the baby is monitored every step of the way." she explains, motioning down across her body before her arm drifts back onto the couch's backrest. Mio can't help but look the tiger down and up. Fascinating... "I had no idea. Well... what happened that led to you coming out here? According to my records, Ealdon is a long way away." Mio inquires. Isolde just shrugs. "We got lucky with some good harvests and market conditions, ranch got bigger, 'Ma bought automated help. I hit twenty-one, and she tells me she's got things covered on the farm... says she saw all the times I'd stay up stargazin'. Gave me a bundle of credits and told me to just follow my heart. Reckon I'm still doin' that... but I'm tryna be sensible with my cash, which means taking on jobs. Took on security here, and... I dunno, until very recently it's been pretty good." she muses, only to shake her head with vigour, fixing Mio with a raised brow. "Hey, that's enough outta me. Get back out there, yeah?" she snorts, though makes no motion to force Mio on her way. The synthetic shrugs, bows her head in thanks for the story, and then pushes off from the couch with her hip. <<include "Isolde Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Isolde Weapon">>"You keep staring at the door. Are you sure you don't need a weapon?" Mio inquires... gently. She doesn't want to offend the prideful Tiger, after all. Isolde does raise a brow at the comment, but chooses arrogance over resentment, smirking as she unsubtly flexes her shoulders. "Hell no. Giving me a gun is just nerfin' me." she confidently declares, bringing her arms forward from the backrest in swooping arcs and curling her biceps, baring the claws on each hand. "Anything that ain't you or one of my coworkers... or, uh, registered guests-- whatever, anythin' that needs a good clawin' is gunna get one." she tuts, waggling the fingers on her right hand in an admonishing wave before she 'relaxes' back into her primed-and-ready pose.

Am I worthy now?" Mio stifles a smirk, handing the brown box over to Isolde, who plucks it neatly from the Android's hand. The Tiger scoffs, then slides a claw down the side - unsealing the inner tape keeping it shut - and pops it open. ... Very skimpy fabric, cheap metal decorative greebles, and very obviously fake costume jewellery. Lots of it. Too much of it, and not nearly enough of that fabric. What?-- Mio windmills her arms in surprise when Isolde casually tosses the non-garment into her face! She splutters and grabs it with both hands, grimacing as she inspects the... bikini. This is a bikini. "Excuse you?" Mio exclaims, brow raised, lips staying parted after she speaks. Isolde just grins down at her, then points dramatically - claw a mere inch from Mio's face, making her go crosseyed for a moment in focusing on it. Didn't flinch this time, though! "You want my prize, Mio? Then here's the real challenge! I know you're tough physically, but how strong are you against emotional damage, huh? How confident are you with yourself? That right there is an authentic star/Whore brand Starslave outfit! They, uh, sent me the wrong size and told me I could keep it. You wanna prove yourself worthy? Then get out there and beat something up with your bare hands, wearin' that." "I'm not fucking doing that!" Mio refuses with a scowl, dangling the ridiculously skimpy thing in her hands. Isolde just grins all the wider, retracting her pointing finger but leaning in closer, hands on her knees. "Then you don't get the goods. C'mon! You can do it. I believe in ya. You're not gunna make a liar out of me, right? Doesn't even have to be anything big - just come back with some authentic splatters on that thing and I'll know if you're lying or not. For a Robot, you're kinda shitty at hiding your feelings." the Tiger snorts, then outright chuckles. She leans back again but continues to sport that shit-eating grin down at Mio, who stands in stunned silence holding that bikini at arm's length. To complete Isolde's challenge, Mio must defeat any enemy whilst wearing this outfit, without a Main Weapon equipped. <<include "Starslave Bikini Pickup">> <><<include "Isolde Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Isolde Quest3">><> <<set $Isolde_Quest to 5>> Mio trudges up to Isolde with the sourest glare she's capable of putting on, hands placed on her almost-bare hips, that ridiculous bikini clattering and jingling with even the smallest of motions she makes. Isolde grins broadly and reaches down, clapping Mio on the shoulder - sending the smaller woman stumbling, even with her gyro-stabilization! "Hell yeah, Sister! I knew you could do it. I can see it in your eyes, you're so pissed off about it~. I'm a woman of my word, though! Here." Isolde chuckles, reaching for her necklace and pulling it off and over her head, tossing it casually - underarm - to Mio. Mio catches it and frowns, inspecting the fang up close. It's... big. Too big to be one of Isolde's, the base of it set into a rough silver ring - as though dipped into the molten metal and left to set - which in turn has a hole lanced through it for the necklace cord to slip through. The tip of the fang points down when it's dangled in her hand. "... Alright, it's a necklace with a big gross tooth on it. What's it do?" Mio asks with a raised brow. "Makes you fight better. Hit harder, find weak points easier. Guides your teeth, 'Bot." Isolde 'explains', waggling her fingers for emphasis. Mio just stares at her, then sighs. "That wasn't very helpful, Isolde. How does it do that?" she demands, to which Isolde performs an over-expressive shrug. "It's magic, I guess! Seriously, I can't explain it. But I'm tellin' ya, that necklace has saved my life more than once. Wear it, and you'll see... but I'll want it back once you're done, got it?" "Fine, fine. I'll take care of it. But what about this fucking bikini?" Mio scowls, glancing down at herself. Isolde grins again - having adopted a series expression for a moment back there - and leans back with another shrug. "Ain't gunna fit me, is it? You keep it. I think you rock it, personally~." she insists. Mio opens her mouth to protest, then sighs, rolling her eyes. Whatever.

Mio asks, crossing her arms and shifting her weight onto one hip. Sure, Isolde may not be armed, but... she's huge. She looks like she could probably rip a tentacle Monster in half with minimal, if any, effort. Isolde frowns at the suggestion, however, and turns her gaze onto Dizz, and then onto the door out of the dormitory. "... Don't get me wrong, I want to. But my job is to look after people, and I can do that best here, where the people are. Security protocols are pretty strict on what I ought to be doing right now, and this is way above my pay grade - at this point, it's bunker down and wait for the Cleaners. But..." Isolde grumbles, clearly uncomfortable with her own answer. After a pause, but reaches a hand up to her neck and retrieves something from her cleavage, something Mio hadn't noticed before - a large fang affixed to a simple, slender string, worn as a necklace. "... I could be with you in spirit, I guess. But I gotta know you'll take good care of what I have to offer you, alright? You're tough, sure, but are you tough?" the Tiger huffs, letting go of the necklace and crossing her arms, her eyes checking Mio out from toe to tip. Mio raises a brow and leans back, a little taken aback. "You want me to prove myself? Seriously? Alright... say I'm willing to play along. How? How do you want me to do that?" Mio tuts, wearing a bit of a scoff. Isolde smirks back, her competitive side flaring. "Well, first off - I need ya to go get something from my room. In the wardrobe, there's a package on the bottom shelf. About... yay big, brown box." she beckons and imitates the size with her oversized hands. "Nab it, bring it here, and then we'll talk." "The daunting trials of life as a delivery girl, ooOOooo." Mio scoffs with a little shrug. She doesn't commit to it, but she could humour the Tiger. She's curious about that necklace... Isolde can see it painted on the Androids face, and remains smugly silent as her eyes flit back to focusing on the door. Started Quest "Earning Your Stripes."

<<set $speech_passage to "Ervina Visor">>"I like your visor, but what‘s with it?" Mio inquires. Even as the words leave her lips, she finds herself dreading and hoping that the question isn't offensive: but luckily, Ervina gasps in delight and sits up from her lounging position, fists balled with excitement. "You like it?~ It's cool, huh? A lot of people say the Gazer x11's are obsolete and outdated, but I argue that you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles newer models of scanner come with these days! Plus, I got this baby custom-made! Chromed out, colour-switch settings - even if I only use pink!~ - and a tailored fit for my head shape. I forget I have these things on all the time!" Ervina exclaims, more animated than Mio's seen her since they met! So animated that her jacket is doing a terrible job of keeping her chest in check, every motion she makes also sending shockwaves through her squashed-together thighs. They even rocket up through her tentacular hair, each individual cupped tendril shaking and partially curling or unfurling as if individually alive! "Ah... so you like the retro look? That's fair enough, so long as they still work." Mio nods. It makes her wonder: is she retro? Maybe not, not with how much of her has been replaced since she was put into service. She's snapped from this question by Ervina's infectiously enthusiastic nodding - and jiggling - as she begins to point to parts of her visor, indicating circuitry beneath the plating. "Oh for sure for sure!! It's got more vision modes than you could ever need..." -Boing- -Whomp- -Wobble- "... absolutely killer sound output, crisp as anything, newer models skimp out on the..." -Jiggle- -Sway- -Wob-wob- "... maximum penetration of 500 yards through solid steel..." -Quake- -Shudder- -Lurch- "... five years running! Can you believe that?" Mio violently snaps out of her rather pointed distraction and covers her mouth, her glowing eyes flicking back up onto Ervina's face. She nods hastily and offers a friendly smile, lowering her hand - thankfully, Ervina buys it, her grin wide and happy. Mio internally sighs with relief... the hell is wrong with her? "Need me to repeat any of that?--" "No! Nonono-- got it all!" Lost 5 Focus!<<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 5, 1, $Player_focus_max)>> <<include "Ervina Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ervina Job">>"What do you do around here?" Mio inquires to the lounging Octopus woman. Ervina takes a moment to respond - the eye of her visor swivels to acknowledge Mio, but she stretches first - arms above her head, tentacle hair unfurling, legs out straight - and then relaxes, reaching down to soothe an itch upon her huge hip. "I'm an Engineer. I do a bit of this, a bit of that, aaaanything that needs fixing or overhauling. I mostly work down in the Engineering sector where all the vital sub-facilities that keep this place full of air and light and water and heat are stationed... y'know, keeping it full of those things instead of bein' full of void and radiation." she explains with a slight yawn briefly interrupting her, the mostly nude woman at least remembering to cover her mouth with a hand... halfway through said yawn. "It's a decent job, I guess. Between you and me, I'm workin' on automating it as much as I can. Drones, baby; they be the future... today!~" she snickers before stretching again, frowning as she tries to pop her back. It doesn't work, and instead just makes her chest wobble an awfully distracting amount - nevertheless, Mio pushes ahead boobly-- erm, boldly. "So, that means you have a card to get through the Engineering checkpoint, right? Could I borrow it? I'd be able to finish my mission in no time." Mio requests, a measure of relief washing over her! She leans forward with her hands balled into loose fists and raised, eyes wide and hopeful. Unfortunately, Ervina winces and sucks air through her teeth. Sharp teeth, at that. "Ooooh... sorry Hun, but nah. I mean, I do have a card!... did!... but it was in my pants, and I ain't have a clue where those dang things ended up! But, y'know, if you find 'em, you're welcome to the card. Just the card, though. Can't miss 'em, either - you'd recognize 'em if you saw 'em." she snorts, giving her elevated hip a -SMACK- with the hand on that same side. Yet more distracting jiggling follows, and Mio just sighs with a shake of her head, feeling the frustrating sting that always seems to follow moments of hope for her. It soon fades when her mind turns to the projected image in her head of what those pants must look like to contain Ervina's lower body... truly, they must be tremendous in size. <<include "Ervina Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ervina Hydration">>"Are you keeping hydrated?" Mio inquires, eyes flicking down and up Ervina's form. Her azure hide seems to be decently slick and shiny, but for an Aquatic, it's a question worth asking. Ervina seems fairly unbothered by both the question and the dilemma, for she merely scratches her hip and shrugs. "Oh, it's fiiiiine. There's a water cooler in here. I only need dousing sparingly, I can get most of my hydration by just drinking it. Granted, the supply in this part of the facility is its own temporary reservoir, so it won't last forever. But we're not gunna be stuck in here long enough for that to matter!" "... Hopefully." she adds with a twist of her lips, the eye of her visor swivelling off to the side as she ponders the possibility. But she soon shrugs again and waves it off. Mio shakes her head, but Ervina probably knows her situation better than she does! <<include "Ervina Speech">>

Dizz is trying to provide me with a safe route from here to my base of operations, but can't override that vent." Mio explains, pointing down to the narrow grate by the sofa upon which Ervina is splayed. The lazy Invari pauses for a moment then twists awkwardly to get a look at it, refusing to get up. She can just about get the angle to examine the cover, doing so for a few seconds before turning back to Mio. "Can't you just, y'know, move your base of operations here?" she asks with a needlessly downtrodden tone of voice, as though she might cry 'woe is me!' at the mere concept of having to stand up and do technician work. Mio finds herself somewhat bewildered, blinking and hesitating before she speaks. "I would have to move a very large hunk of metal out of the floor and drag it here, so, no. It has repair facilities onboard that I can't match here." the Android insists, crossing her arms with a quirked brow as Ervina merely pouts, grumbles... and then, finally, tortuously, stands. With her hands planted firmly upon her remarkable hips, the tentacle-haired layabout takes the two steps it takes to reach the vent, stares at it for a moment... and then kicks the top-right corner with the side of her heel. At once, it pops open. Mio's mouth falls slightly open in surprise, and she stands stunned as Ervina collapses back into her seat with a loud huff. By the time the synthetic warrior has recovered from the shock of how incredibly easy that was, the Octopus has settled back into her favoured position. "UUuuuuUUuuUUUuuuugh, there, haaaAAaappy?" she groans, voice pitiable and oppressed.

As she takes the little robot shell from the Android, Mio can't help but comment on that. "You are aware that there's a workbench downstairs, yes?" Mio inquires, leaning forwards with her arms crossed. A slight grimace - there was still slime on her hands from the drone... ew. Ervina's visor eye swivels up to glare at Mio as she rests the front face-down on her cushion. "Me and stairs aren't on speaking terms." she says simply, ignoring the fact that this is an insane thing for a woman with thighs that could crush Mio's armoured head with ease to say. Before Mio can insist on the matter by bringing up her lack of tools, Ervina reaches up to the cap of her visor over her right ear and presses the base down, a small card popping out from it - around the size of a credstick. She pulls it free from that little storage box and unfolds it, revealing it to be a discrete case for a variety of miniaturized tools, some of which themselves fold for further compact storage. Mio is a little impressed - it looks like a fairly expensive little kit. Ervina quickly gets the back hatch of the Drone's central torso unit unscrewed and begins to poke around inside, her visor's eye reacting to the occasional spark and sometimes thinning to a narrow point whenever she zooms in on a delicate or fiddly component. Without looking up, she speaks again. "This won't take long. In the meantime, I've pushed some auth codes to you wirelessly. Go upload 'em on the security office's terminals - these drones don't have their own power sources, so we'll need to tap into the facility's wireless power transfer, which means re-authorizing this little guy." Ervina explains without pausing her work for even a second. Mio, however, deadpans - then plants a palm upon her face in frustration. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could've made one trip!" she protests in frustration, glaring through her splayed fingers. Ervina shrugs unhelpfully, tap-tapping away at something that sparks inside the Drone. "Do I really need to go over the whole 'got my brains fucked out' thing?" she snorts, even though she seemed more than fine in the aftermath when Mio found her. The Synthetic sighs but drops it. Fine. "I hope it isn't too much hassle, Miss Mio! I'm... pretty excited, honestly! I've always wondered what having a body would feel like." B4B3 chimes in, sounding a little anxious but mostly excited. As Mio watches the work unfold, she scoffs fondly. Fine, fine. That's motivation enough. <><<include "Ervina Speech">>

<><<set $speech_passage to "Ervina Quest1">><<set $MS_Calibrations_My_Dear to 2>> "-- Yes, yes, I'm asking her, B4B3! Ugh. What was the offer you mentioned earlier?" Mio asks, cocking a hip and crossing her arms. Ervina glances up from her seat and grins mischievously. "Ohhh, yeah. You're gunna love this, trust. Here's the deal - this facility is meant to have security drones, but this outbreak seems to have broken whatever's controlling them. However... I happen to have one of the older models sitting on my desk back in my room right now. It was getting tossed out - simple, pretty mindless things, y'dig - so I decided to try my hand at cleaning it up and repairing it. As part of the protocol of throwing these things away, it had its programming wiped first. so, I'm reprogramming it to be my personal assistant. But!... your lil' support unit sounds nice, and I'm bored. Here's the deal: I think that with a little bit of elbow grease, I could get it functioning again for your lil' friend to borrow." Ervina explains, occasionally gesticulating with her hand. Not very energetically, though. Mio raises her brows, considering this. Giving B4B3 a physical presence could be handy, especially if the drone is equipped for combat... Of course, it isn't just her decision to make. B4B3 has her input too, and it is as follows: "OoooOOOOO!!! Can we?? Can we can we can we can we can we--" Mio winces and whacks the side of her head, shutting B4B3 up with a squeaked little 'sorry'. She's made her mind up, though. "Alright, I'm interested. So's B4B3. You said it's sitting on your desk?" Mio verifies, glancing off to the door out of the Safe Room. Ervina nods, then stifles a yawn. "... Y'know, you could've mentioned that earlier, maybe saved me a trip." "Y'know, that's a fair point, but consider: I'd just got done getting slamfucked by a sex Monster for so many hours that I lost count. Go easy, jeez." Ervina tuts admonishingly, to which Mio has no real response! <<if $MS_Drone_Body is 1>>It dawns on Mio that she's already found the broken drone Ervina is referring to...

<<set $speech_passage to "Blankenship Research">>"How's your research going?" Mio inquires, more to be polite than out of genuine curiosity: Blankenship's realm of magic is far beyond the Synthetic's fields of knowledge and interest alike. Intentions aside, Blankenship offers a smile - albeit one with slightly lidded eyes. "The extensive and unplanned tentacle massaging kidnap experience besides? Well enough. I did, at the very least, have a good view out onto the surface of this moon from my room. I shall require some time in an observation shuttle to confirm some suspicions, however... or perhaps even some time out upon its surface by foot." she muses, tapping her chin and looking up and off to the side of Mio in thought. "Do you mind if I ask what those suspicions are? Or... what you're researching, for that matter?" Mio asks with an uncertain edge in her usually droning tone. "Oh: Leylines. I specialize in them. I suspect you're unfamiliar... consider them to be like the veins of magic - when a practitioner of magic stands near or upon one, their capabilities are enhanced. Similarly, Leylines can be created via exceptionally powerful magics being performed: this creates a node and, over time, lines stretch out like roots to connect these nodes. Not every celestial body has them... but a number do, and all of them point to magical events having taken place there at some point in history. I theorize that Vi-16 may be one such location... albeit dimly, perhaps faded with extreme age." she explains at a brisk pace, speaking at a reasonable pace but with unreasonable lung capacity, hardly pausing between sentences. Mio is able to follow it easily enough, however, and she casts a gaze out through the massive bay window to the West. Vi-16 stares back at her, dead and empty. The Android shudders slightly, but she cannot explain why. <<include "Blankenship Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Blankenship Presence">>"What brought you to this facility, anyway?" Mio inquires, taking a look around the upper deck of the safe room with her hands on her hips. Blankenship briefly tracks the Android's aimless gaze before she crosses one leg over the other, resting her hands on her raised knee. "Convenience, mostly. I desire to investigate some aspects of this moon, the organization I represent - the Techromancers - desires to know more about TentaCo's advancements in flash-cloning and rapid mutagenic gestation, and TentaCo desired for someone knowledgeable in the magic arts to provide feedback on some of their creations. So, here I am." she explains. It's a succinct and reasonable explanation, and so Mio sees no need to push the questioning any further. She simply nods, placing a hand upon her chest in a polite bow of thanks. Something does occur to her, however, and she rises back up straight. "Your change of tenses... TentaCo 'desired' for this consultation? Is it complete already?" Mio asks. Blankenship smiles, impressed by the attention to detail. "Oh, yes. I completed it while I was in the clutches of that monster, actually. After that, I decided to provide additional observations and notes regarding that specific model... given my increasingly intimate familiarity with it." she adds with a little two-note laugh, covering her mouth with her hand. Mio smiles awkwardly in return. <<include "Blankenship Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Blankenship Magic">>"Can any of your magic help here?" Mio asks, allowing a hint of optimism to grace both her voice and face. The way Blankenship purses her lips to one side in response, however, makes the Android lapse back into her usually impassive, doll-like mask. "Under normal circumstances, perhaps... After all, my spells - even the woefully complex ones - are safely stored in a memory-crystal implant." she explains, tap-tapping her head just above her left pointed ear with a single finger - Mio takes a moment to admire that immaculate nail polish before nodding, tearing her attention back to the topic at hand. "But... that would require me to expend some of my Glow, of course. And I'm... somewhat running on empty." she mutters, glancing off to the side. Mio frowns. That's easily remedied... all she needs is an infusion from a suitable Glow Crystal. Sensing there must be more to it, she allows Blankenship to explain further. "That bothersome creature that had me in its grasp has magic incorporated into its design. The... 'enhancing' effect it's 'bestowed' upon me-" she mutters, glaring daggers down at her corset-defying chest - "Is the result of an enchantment, using Glow as fuel, so to speak. It is still in effect." she sighs, fixing Mio with a pointed stare. "Thus, until I am provided with either time or a countercurse, I have a problem. If I may be blunt about it?" she inquires, one brow slightly raised, eyes burrowing into Mio to gauge her reaction. "You may, yes." the Synthetic replies, and Blankenship nods with a sigh before shaking her head. "I attempted to refresh myself shortly after I arrived at this safe area - I have my own stash of Glow Crystals, of course. The moment I broke into one and imbibed it, I just about came on the spot and nearly fell over from my knees knocking together like hammers!" she exclaims, pointing with a single finger at her chest, lip slightly turned up in a scowl - immaculate pearly teeth, Mio notes. "The enchantment gladly intercepted every last drop of it, and I suspect it may have lengthened its lifespan. In short... my blasted bosom is sponging it all up." the Elf groans, prodding at her right breast - gently - with a melodramatic pout. A powerful mage, defeated by her own chest. Mio can see why she didn't bring it up until questioned... "Fret not, I'm sure I'll manage. You should rest." she insists with a small smile, to which Blankenship gives an appreciative nod. <<include "Blankenship Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Blankenship About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio requests, to which Blankenship tilts her head, light catching upon her spectacles as she peers over them. "Oh? What an excitingly broad question~." the Elf purrs with a gentle little laugh. "I've been around for quite some time, you know. We could be here all night... and you have a job to do, no? Thus, I will make all good efforts to be succinct." she nods, tapping her fingers together as she ponders upon where to begin. Mio nods back, but has a sudden and horrible feeling that Blankenship's 'best' may not be good enough: she begins to wonder if she should retreat while she can, make an excuse and-- "I was born under the Domes, though not too long before they fell. As a result, I've lived through some quite exciting times! The Unifaecation of Terra, the challenges that came with such wildly different cultures meeting and mingling and co-existing. T'was for that very reason that I joined the Techromancers: they desired to extend a branch to what they saw as an exciting new field of science - magic - and myself and those like me desired to bring the disparate halves of our world closer together." she begins, sighing in happy reminiscence, chin resting on the back of her hand. "I learned and taught in equal measure, and soon found myself rising through the ranks of the Coven to which I was assigned - a mixed group of Pyksielanders and Mundanities, if you don't mind a somewhat outdated term. Just as this began to lose its novelty to me, however: surprise! First contact, all of the stars above opening to me and my kindred spirits... oh, and that war business." Mio blinks, nodding. The history is moving at a brisk enough pace, though she can't help but notice that as Blankenship grows more enthused in her lecturing, the Elf becomes far more animated - sweeping arms, jabbing fingers at invisible charts and timelines... all of it serving to send her unguarded chest wobbling and swaying in regrettably enticing ways. "Of course, as you likely know, Terra was contacted with the explicit intention of mass recruitment into the faltering Galactic Militia - a massive population of hardy, wound-regenerating and diversely-skilled people is hard to turn down in a crisis. In return, we were given such enticing technological gifts! Imagine, if you can, how exciting it was for my organization: technology leapt forward by almost a century in a mere month! Not to downplay the cost of that war, of course, nor..." Mio gulps, her eyes whirring softly as they track left, right, up... cross slightly, left again, right again. Try as she might, her ability to focus on Blankenship's lecture is slipping by the moment. She's never thought of herself as a perverted person, but perhaps even stones can bleed when put under enough pressure. The Professor's chest seems to have a mind of its own, outright quaking by this point, the sash she's been using to cover her nipples having failed in that task a good few minutes ago. Further minutes now slide by. "... Around this time that my Coven was given a personal audience with..." - Wobble, jiggle, teeter... "... yes, indeed, a most challenging occasion..." Bounce! Judder, sway... "... which I'd consider a highlight, albeit not without some things I would have done differently, in hindsight..." - Quiver, lurch! -Smack-. "... Such troublesome girls, though I suppose I can't really hold it against them, Mio... Mio?..." Rise, bounce, bounce, swell?!-- "Mmph?!--" Mio splutters, suddenly finding herself intimately familiar with the distraction at hand! She finds her face buried firmly in the Professor's bosom, held there by a firm hand on the back of her head! She shakes and pushes back, and Blankenship immediately releases her... hands gravitating towards her hips, towering over the Android with a raised brow and an admonishing look on her face. "Really, now! I would've thought a Synthetic would have a better attention span! Were you a student of mine, Mio..." she remarks, turning on her heel dramatically... and shifting her head to gaze over her shoulder with a dangerous, demure smirk... "... I would have you over my knee for such insolence. Pay better attention next time, understood?" she demands, before strutting back to her seat and sitting down once more, smoothing out her skirt as she does so. Mio rubs her cheeks, swearing she can still feel intense heat upon them. The Professor's chest was almost as mesmerizing from behind, in fleeting glimpses timed with her swaying steps. "Y-yes, apologies..." she grumbles, shock giving way to embarrassment... and a strangely persistent warmth.

<<set $speech_passage to "Blankenship Outfit">>"Your outfit is... odd, for a scientist." Mio remarks, giving the witchy Professor a look up and down for emphasis - though she finds it hard to decide where to place her eyes afterwards, what with her impressive chest so fully on display. Blankenship glances down at herself and, with a slight purse of her lips, adjusts the shawl doing its best to cover the peak of each breast. <><<if $Player_outfit is "star-slave bikini" or $PLayer_outfit is "underwear">>"... Are you really sure you're in a position to be making that remark, young Droid?" she retorts with a stifled smirk, curling the fingers of her right hand to graze and cover her mouth 'politely'. Mio startles slightly, apparently having forgotten the state of her own outfit... "It's for a!-- ugh..." she huffs, crossing her arms defensively over her chest, unable to hide her embarrassment. Blankenship laughs softly - almost more a lilting 'hum' than a giggle - and shakes her head, leaning back in her seat to look down at her blue-hued outfit. <<else>> "Just when I was beginning to forget the current situation of my wardrobe... Thank you, dear Droid, for the timely reminder." she tuts admonishingly. Mio blinks, then attempts an apologetic smile, unsure if she's pulling it off or not. "Apologies, that was not my intention. I'm just curious... I hear 'Professor' and my core conjures up images of lab coats, not silk sashes and pointed hats." Mio explains, finally deciding to settle her eyes on the hat. It's a nice hat, yes, but ever so jaunty for a research environment. Blankenship tilts her head a little, leaning back and motioning to her outfit with a free hand. <</if>> <>"Are you unfamiliar with the Techromancers? I suppose we are rather far beyond the reach of the inner worlds. The history of this uniform is storied, perhaps even comedic... but some traditions refuse to die. That besides, I think I carry it rather well." the Elf explains, glancing up from herself to meet Mio's eyes with a demure smirk. The Android pauses, then nods: hard to say otherwise. This earns a light chuckle from the Professor, but she can see that the Synthetic's curiosity is yet unsated. "When this faction was first formed, it was quickly decided that it should gather around a common symbol - a badge, perhaps, or a uniform. Manufacturing capabilities being what they were at the time, it fell to those hunting for one such an appropriate symbol to make do with what could be found in the bones of the old world. A scouting group uncovered a warehouse full of curious outfits of the old world - believed to be used in the celebration of a defunct holy day. Packaged in their thousands, the garments were of low quality, lacked in variation, and more often than not offered frankly feeble coverage of one's... assets, but for want of a better option: the aspect of the Witch became their uniform." she explains, adjusting her outfit here and there - mostly smoothing out the sheer open-front robe that trails down from beneath her corset. "It wasn't long before they achieved the ability to make their own fabrics and outfits, but the template stuck, albeit with variations galore." "So they're not all quite so... extravagant?" Mio asks, motioning vaguely with her right hand. Blankenship nods. "While often personalized, as mine is, Techromancer uniforms are suited to the tasks carried out by their wearers. Someone working with caustic chemicals, for example, naturally won't be showing any skin and will cut down on loose fabrics to prevent anything from catching on delicate equipment. I know one such researcher whose hat can, in the blink of an eye, drop a shield down from its circumference like an all-body umbrella to protect him from sudden spills." she remarks with a smile, glancing aside for a moment. Her gaze drifts back to Mio, heading off the obvious followup question. "As for myself... I am something of an ambassador, and it's exceedingly rare that I work with any biological or chemical samples. My primary field is Magic - with some dabbling in Physics - so I hardly need to cover up! Having said that... oh, I do hope this passes soon..." she grumbles, frowning in distaste at her unruly cup sizes. Mio bites her tongue - literally - and elects not to say anything, complimentary or otherwise. She merely nods in thanks for the explanation. Blankenship glances up, catches the nod, and then smiles with just a hint of mischief. "Of course, my outfit has a trick or two up its sleeves, too." she purrs, pulling off her fancy spectacles, folding the chain, and then gently stowing them up the extravagant sleeve of her right arm. Mio blinks, not sure where this is going... until Blankenship reaches into her cleavage with a delicate pinch of finger and thumb, pulling the very same spectacles from between her breasts! She gives them a quick breath and polish for each lens, then sits them back upon her nose, grinning. "Never in need of pockets... nor do I need to remember the right one." she winks, sharing in Mio's disbelieving little chuckle in response. <<include "Blankenship Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Jii'Kii Career">>"Do you enjoy your job?" Mio asks, somewhat hesitating with the question, but curiosity seeing it through to completion. Jii'Kii raises one of her fuzzy eyebrows and barks out a cruel little laugh, covering her mouth with the back of her organic hand. "What the fuck? Why, thinking of a career change, fuckbot?" the Sneerz demands, the evil smirk of a trained interrogator worn proudly on her lips as she pushes off from the wall and circles Mio like a shark. The Android frowns, raising her arms slightly in a reflexive, defensive motion. "That's not why I'm asking-" "Sure it isn't. Stand still, I'm examining the goods. Fuckin' Synthetics... you can just get everything sculpted, huh? Like this fine flesh-fruit you've got back here." Jii'Kii remarks... before her augmented arm swings in under-handedly to grab a firm handful of Mio's rear, shocking a quick 'Oh?!' from the Android. Jii'Kii lets go almost immediately, but the -clap- of impact replays in Mio's head like the buzzing of a fly... She turns on an armoured heel and glares at the alien, who tilts her head and bares her sharp teeth in response. "Apologize." Mio orders, blinking immediately afterwards. What is this... rush in her chest? She only ever feels like this when talking to her piece-of-shit owner, usually. Is this rage? Indignance? She hates it, but she cannot deny the... drive, it gives her. Jii'Kii smirks knowingly, tilting her head up and back, baring her slender neck. "Thaaat's it... That's the face that people love to fuck. That face that people love to see fucked. A girl standing up for her pride. But do you think you can keep it after hours of getting passed around like a sweatrag, fuckbot? Think you can deny them the panting tongue, the crossed eyes they so desperately crave?... That, that right there, that's the fuckin' challenge. That's what I live for. To take everything some overconfident pondscum can give me... and spit it right back in their faces, ignoring the demands for a sequel shoot until I've let 'em stew in their failure long enough. And if they succeed? Well, shit, maybe I've found someone worth my fuckin' time after all." the alien purrs like a low-revving chainsaw, a glint of emotions Mio cannot even comprehend playing through her bright, solid-tone eyes. Despite herself, Mio swallows, not fully grasping why she does so. Jii'Kii lingers on the point for a moment more... and then retreats to her spot against the wall, a hip-tilting strut in her step. "So yeah, you little spunk-socket, I love my fuckin' job. I love meetin' people worth my time, and making all the ones that ain't feel like they lost a war even if they won the battle. So I ask again... Why? You interested?" she demands to know, crossing her arms over her slender chest, framed by her iconic pilot's suit. Mio closes her eyes and calms herself, that awful, red-hot sensation slowly smouldering away. "... Hard to say." she eventually replies, opening her eyes and tilting her head back to gaze back at Jii'Kii. She stares right back like the abyss she is. The standoff ends with a brief flicker of the lights and some swearing from Dizz above - she must have tripped something. Both women turn away at that moment, and neither claims verbal victory. <<include "Jii'Kii Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Jii'Kii Agitation">>"Why are you so agitated?" Mio asks, bluntly. Jii'Kii glares at her with the sort of contempt usually reserved for the stupidest being in the entire Galaxy, and it's a look so intense that Mio almost believes, just for a moment, that she is. "Why am-- Why am I so agitated? Hey, counter-question: what percentage of your intelligence banks are devoted to blowjob techniques? I bet it's double digits at least." she scowls, lip curling up to bare her teeth as she glances off to the side, Mio's deadpan giving her no fuel to work with. "I'm ''agitated'', Miss Bimbot, because I've got a full fuckin' plate of work - and this little vacation is costing me big time. I've blown right past the appointment dates for two shoots, an ad, and an interview with Starline Media Co. I was supposed to be here for three hours, tops - then zip, offa this rock." she gestures with a harshly jerked thumb, grinding her heel into the ground as if it were the surface of Vi-16 and not some questionably-installed carpet. Mio contemplates this with a hand clasping her chin. "... You don't get to just sit around much, do you? It's pretty obvious. TentaCo is almost certainly going to comp you big-time for this incident, so why not enjoy the break while it lasts?" the Synthetic suggests, capping it off with a shrug. Jii'Kii's patented 'stupidest being in the Galaxy' glare returns. "I'm only as good as my last job, you stupid bolt-bucket. I!-... hrmm... could probably turn this to my advantage... maybe pitch a full-length feature along this whole 'overrun facility' concept..." she mutters, fury faltering and tone lowering as she begins to mull over the possibilities, head tilting down. After a while, however, her eyes shoot back up to point to Mio, a sardonic grin spreading on her face. "Probably need a good co-star to fill that kinda time, though. People want variety with feature-length smut. What better than a gal with experience, hmm? What do you say, jizz-trap? Fancy a shot at the big leagues?" the Sneerz, well, sneers, hooking a finger into the cleavage of her piloting suit and sticking her long, forked tongue out with a mocking wink. Mio bristles slightly, then huffs, looking off to the side. "I think one helping of this experience is enough for a lifetime, don't you?" she retorts. Jii'Kii snickers cruelly and goes back to leaning on her wall, still staring at Mio with that predatory tilt of her head. <<include "Jii'Kii Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Jii'Kii About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio asks, keeping herself a fair distance out of the aggressive Sneerz' bubble. Jii'Kii regards Mio as though she were something rotting on the side of a road. "... No? Fuck off. Why?" she hisses, her off-guard reaction to the question seemingly genuine, perhaps torn between her desire to annoy Mio versus her desire to wax vainly about her superiority. Mio figures this out easily enough and simply smiles in response: this annoys Jii'Kii further, and the alien puffs out her cheeks and attempts to recover with a trademark sneer. "Very well. I am Jii'Kii of Exile Fleet Nine. I served with distinction under the combined Mercenary Swarm of my home fleet, going where and when I was needed. Once my standard decade of mandatory service was concluded, I was presented with... options." she trails off, tapping her chin with a finger from her prosthetic arm before she sweeps a hand down her figure, making sure to emphasize the swell of her hip. "It can't have escaped your notice that I am a particularly well-grown example of my kind, and I decided to use that to my advantage. My experience in the field gives me a vital edge over my acting competition: authenticity. I know my lingo. I know the emotions that battle, interrogation - on one side or the other - and narrow survival can bring boiling to the surface." she speaks without a hint of humility, her pride in herself etched upon every cell in her face... until her expression grows dark. "But despite my obvious superiority - and what an obviously exceptional leading heroine I would make! - the only parts I could ever land were... predictable. Eventually, there seemed little point in denying where the credits were plentiful. If this wretched Galaxy so desires to witness my immaculate body desecrated by its most repugnant species, so be it: I envision their frustrations that they themselves will never have me, and oh, how that spite gives me energy." the Sneerz sighs happily - almost psychotically, Mio notes to herself."And as my star rose, so did the grovellers. Directors who didn't give my auditions even a glance! Hang them all, and let them join the sea of people who spend every night wishing they were at my side." "You want to know who I am, Android? I'm Jii'Kii, the hottest fucking pornstar in this wretched abyss of a Galaxy. Does that answer your insipid question?" she barks as she plants her hands on her hips, chest thrust forward, antennae twitching with a strange air of triumph. Mio deadpans for a moment, then shrugs. "I guess." she replies simply, knowing how much it'll infuriate Jii'Kii. True enough, the alien's scowl could melt through a starship's hull, shields and all. Mio takes great pleasure in countering with a serene smile. <<include "Jii'Kii Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Jii'Kii Arm">>"Do you have any trouble maintaining that arm of yours?" Mio inquires, her glowing eyes fixed upon the mechanical limb. Or... biomechanical? It's hard to tell - beneath the sleek curves in imitation of toned anatomy lie bundled fibers that flex and pull and tighten with every little motion Jii'Kii makes: for a moment, Mio ponders their vulnerability until she realizes that the gaps in the alloy are fine, transparent shielding. This truth is revealed when light from above catches upon one of the windows, glaring off of its polished surface. Jii'Kii gives the Synthetic her customary glare, then shrugs - the limb connects from her shoulder, giving her an ever-so-slightly imbalanced profile due to the slender pauldron that houses the arm's power pack. "Do I look like a helpless charity case? I take perfect care of this arm, as I would with any technology of my people. 'Tis practically instinct: we are born with the knowledge. Take care of your technology, and it, in turn, will take care of you." she huffs, raising her arm up towards the ceiling, flexing each finger in turn starting from her thumb. Mio watches different sections of the artificial muscle-cord within pull and slacken in response to each flex. "... I find that a particularly vexxing question when it's spouted by a cobbled-together toaster like you." the alien growls, tearing her gaze away from the perfection of her arm to instead glare at Mio, eyes burning bright. This, apparently, is something of a sore spot. "I don't exactly get a choice in how I look. I woke up in this fucking torso a few hours ago." Mio retorts with a grunt. She hadn't meant to reply quite so aggressively, and she briefly ponders why Jii'Kii's insults get such a rise out of her... but, Jii'Kii, on the other hand, seems to almost admire the show of spine - mechanical or otherwise. Her glare softens into a shark-like grin. "Hah! What, not used to the weight of those tits, you glorified blow-up-doll? Pft. Still... I suppose you're making do with what little you have, and that's something to be!... oh, perhaps not quite admired, hmm-- Oh! Congratulated! That's the word." the mean alien breaks into an almost shrill titter, an impish laugh more at home on a playground than in a civilized conversation. Mio sighs with a shrug and shakes her head, seeing no reason to continue it. <<include "Jii'Kii Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Jii'Kii Quest1">><<set $MS_Jii_Case to 1>>"In the security office, there's a secure storage box made out of similar materials to your arm. Am I to assume that it belongs to you?" Mio inquires, bracing herself for an inevitably sarcastic response. Jii'Kii, never one to disappoint, delivers. "Holy shit, really taxed the ol' CPU on that one, didja? No shit it's mine. What of it?" the Sneerz- well, sneers. Mio inwardly sighs, but attempts to maintain a diplomatic expression and tone. "I was wondering what's inside of it. Given its location, I assume it's something the security staff weren't happy with you having onboard the facility, which narrows it down to something incredibly narcotic, or something weaponized." the Android elaborates. She's pleased to have hit the nail on the head, judging by Jii'Kii's side-off glance away and huff. "The scared little dogs they call 'security' here weren't willing to let me keep my gun with me. I suppose it's only natural for the inferiors to be shocked into awed terror by the mere sight of an authentic Sneerz DEFF Ray, though." the alien gives a sly, smug grin. It's insufferable, but it's not without cause. Mio's well-acquainted with Sneerztek weaponry: many of the resources required to make them are a lost secret, making surviving examples valuable. More than this antique value, however, they're extremely powerful for their size, weight and upkeep. Something like that could be useful... Mio purses her lips, weighing up what to say. Jii'Kii stares at her, clearly ready to deny any request no matter how sensible. "I don't suppose, given the circumstances, you could let me borrow i--" "Piss off, fuckbot." Well, that was unequivocal. Mio isn't quite ready to give up yet, though. Given time, she could probably think of a sound, diplomatic argument... or, there's always the tried and true method of getting a Sneerz to cooperate: disgusting amounts of flattery, perhaps some scientifically accurate swooning over the device in question.

The specs almost defy belief, especially considering the age of the weapon. How did your people achieve such a massive power output from such a small core?" Mio inquires with a tilt of her head, keeping her tone juuuust on the right edge of 'awestruck'. It's an act, of course, but... "Hmph!~ Wouldn't you like to know. It's advanced spatial manipulation that would make smoke pour out of your ears if I tried to explain it to you, machine." Jii'Kii huffs smugly, her stance relaxing from defensive to confident in the blink of an eye - she's even gesticulating with her synthetic arm. Mio presses the advantage! "Spatial manipulation? Ah, I think I understand. Am I to take is that the core is significantly larger than the weapon's size would suggest? Mass displaced into subspace, perhaps? That would explain a lot else, such as the shockingly light weight. I noticed that storage box is rather heavy, by contrast: is that a security feature to prevent theft? Simply deactivating the mass-displacement to make it heavier?" Mio spitballs her theories, hiding the delight from her face when Jii'Kii blinks at her in surprise, briefly taken aback. The Sneerz quickly recovers, of course, putting a hand over her mouth and glancing off to the side. "... I'll confess that you might not be as stupid as you look, toaster. Hrrrm... fine. It's clear that you possess the minimum level of intelligence required to properly wield and care for my weapon... but you're only borrowing it, understood? If anything happens to it, I'll use you for spare parts to repair it!" she swears, planting a hand on her hip. Afterwards however, she reaches into one of the few pouches that remain across her ruined bodysuit, pulling out a round little electronic key-stub. Mio decides not to press her luck and simply nods as she carefully takes it from Jii'Kii's outstretched hand, which is snatched back so that she might cross her arms in a huff. <<set $MS_Jii_Case to 2>> <<else>> "I just wanted to say how much I admire Sneerztek! It's so, um..." Mio trails off, wincing slightly as she mentally stumbles for specifics. Jii'Kii's glare could melt through a spaceship's hull, which really isn't helping. "... Purple!.."

Mio trails off, gauging Jii'Kii's reaction. The first point was sound, leading to a begrudging pout from the mint-skinned alien. The second, riskier point led to a glare, but not an outright rejection. "... Isn't blasting grotesque xenomutants precisely the sort of thing that weapon was made to do?" Mio hazards, capping off her argument with a palms-up shrug. Jii'Kii maintains her glare for a moment more, then grumbles. "Fiiiiiine. You may borrow my superior firepower, bimbot.

Mio asks with a slight tilt of her head, eyes briefly flitting from the towering cyborg to her claimed workbench, then back - each movement accompanied by a soft whirring of the delicate machinery behind each eye. Flakk follows the gaze for a moment, then places her remaining hand on the workbench, her expression taking on something of a vacant emptiness. "... I... create, maintain, repair, make new. It's what I'm... comfortable doing. It feels... right, after what I did long ago, when I was of too many minds." she utters in her distant whisper of a voice, Mio inwardly marvelling at how vastly it contrasts with her intimidating appearance. 'Of too many minds'... back when the Befrar were a hivemind. "... I don't want to talk much about what I did... but I destroyed much. It wasn't me, yet, at the same time... it was. So, now... I make. Attempt to... balance." she finishes with a nod, eyes closing for a moment - the space around her head darkening once robbed of the glow of her eyes, soon lit up once more. Mio purses her lips, wanting to shift the topic from the old days... Hells, it's possible the two might've fought, long, long ago. "Well, are you more of a general maintenance worker? Or do you have a speciality?" the Synthetic asks with a polite smile, an attempt to put the cyborg at ease - it seems to work well, as Flakk's serene, eyes-shut smile returns. "Mostly... general, yes. Often... called to assist in maintaining hydroponics, and... mechanisms for supply of water for this facility." she explains with a raise of her arm, pointing to her pale skin where visible through her strappy outfit - sleek and amphibious, ideal for underwater action. Then, however, she pauses, glancing off to the side. Bashfully, she raises her hand up, very carefully scratching at her cheek just above her collar with a single, cleaver-like claw. "I... have also submitted some preliminary designs to... the company. For... products. They want to, ah... expand, to mechanical and biomechanical entries, and..." she trails off, clears her throat, and fans her face with her claws tilted to better catch the air. "Really? Well, best of luck getting them approved." Mio says with a soft chuckle, wanting to pull the big girl away from her rising embarrassment. Flakk shuts her eyes and nods, cheeks burning an odd lilac shade before she inhales deeply through her nose, exhales just as slowly, and then relaxes, nodding once more. <<include "Flakk Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Flakk About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio requests, crossing her arms and shifting her weight onto one ball-jointed hip. The request seems to catch Flakk a little off guard. The towering Cyborg blinks down at the smaller Synthetic and frowns slightly, her glowing pink gaze slowly drifting off and onto nothing in particular. "... I do not have many memories of what I was under the Befrar... and none of what I was before it. Conversion affects everyone... differently. In truth, I... do not know if I am the same person I was before, or if I am a new mind in borrowed, modified flesh." she explains, raising her remaining arm towards the ceiling light, allowing it to filter through her gleaming, dulled claws. "So... I focus on now. I worked as an engineer... for a mercenary outfit. They wanted me to fight, though. I... don't think I can. Not anymore... Nor do I want to." she shakes her head, lowering her arm and returning her gaze to Mio. The artificial mercenary suddenly feels quite small under the weight of the look Flakk gives her... it's loaded with pity. "As we travelled... I would sometimes check job listings in spaces we passed through. Apply, sometimes. Applied here... and got an offer. I think they thought it would look good for their... diversity quota." she snorts, glancing down at herself. "No one has said anything to that... effect, though. People... treat me like a person, here. I like that. So I work hard. Work to fix. A repair for every hazy maybe-memory of something bad I once did..." she shuts her eyes for a moment, then nods - a single, decisive motion, transitioning into a polite, reassuring smile down at Mio. <<include "Flakk Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Flakk Art">>"What are you working on?" Mio asks with a curious rise to her voice, pushing up onto the tips of her toes - or the closest equivalent thereof, given her armoured feet - to get a better look down at the workbench from her position. Flakk startles slightly, blinking as she glances down at the odd little thing she's been bending and tweaking with... it looks somewhat like a tropical tree, albeit it spliced with random strips of shiny colour. "I... like to use scrap metal for... little projects." she admits, clearing her throat with her cleaver-like fingers curled into a polite fist before her already-covered mouth as she does so. "It... started as rehabilitation... when I was severed from the network, I... had trouble controlling my hands..." she explains, flexing those lethal claws of hers before her dimly glowing eyes. "So, I learned to... make little sculptures... from cans. There's... sort of a lot of empty ones around here. I... have to wash them, of course..." she gingerly picks the sliced and bent piece of metal up, placing it into her own palm in a deft, one-handed move before offering it to Mio, a couple of feet from her face. Up close, Mio can see it much more clearly - her hunch about it being a tropical palm-style tree was correct, but the random colours are the result of it being a TentaCan! Or, formerly one. Cut into ribbons and either splayed or tightly woven into stiff 'rope', forming the long, tapering trunk and the leafy strands above. The base of the can, meanwhile, has been bent to resemble a little risen island. It's all one solid piece. Mio smiles, then looks up from it towards Flakk. "I don't think I could do that... I'm impressed!" she nods, straightening back up - she'd leaned forwards whilst inspecting the art piece. Flakk pauses for a moment. "Have you ever tried?" The towering Befrar inquires, a question which gives Mio pause. After a beat of silence, Flakk gingerly places her creation back on the workbench, leaving Mio to ruminate... <<include "Flakk Speech">>

"I'll be fine... it is... not as if you can take it far from here." she insists with a small chuckle - a strangely slow laugh, 'Ha... ha ha...', sounding more like a rough imitation of a noise she's read about rather than one she's used to performing.

I'm ok, really! I'm just, ah-- y'know, like!-- I'm still pretty pumped up with aphrodisiac and stuff!" she insists fitfully, her frantic waving ceasing as she goes to cross her arms over her chest with a pout. "Really, don't worry about me! Gosh-- not that I mind you worrying about me, I just-- ooooh..." she trails off, pursing her lips to one side in visible frustration. Mio frowns, unsure what to make of this. "I see. Apologies, then. I'll refrain from further inquiry." the Synthetic states with a courteous bow. Selene's immaculate lashes bat in a doe-eyed blink, and she hesitates. "Gosh, you didn't do anything wrong! It's sweet of you to check on me!~ Just, ah, I don't want you worrying and being distracted and stuff!" the Elf insists, exhaling slowly once she's said her piece.

The bright-eyed Elf blinks and reflexively reaches up to it, a finger upon the decorative little thing clasped to the long, stiff top edge of her ear. To an untrained - or unaugmented - eye, it would appear as nothing more than some neo-futuristic jewellery. Mio can detect the faint EM emissions stemming from it, however - along with the sliding rail mechanism subtly implanted along the Elf's ear. "Oh, this little old thing? This is an implant of my own personal design! It's, like, a sliding scale of intelligence-dampening." she explains, tap-tapping it with that one finger, but moving it neither up nor down. Mio blinks, brows raised in surprise. She's never heard of such a thing! "You... willfully diminish your own intelligence? I don't understand." Mio asks, a slight edge of bewilderment in her tone. Selene purses her plush lower lip slightly, but then relaxes and offers a reassuring smile. "Well... I don't mean to brag, but, like, I have something of an excess of smarts! And that means I do a lot of thinking, y'know? And sometimes I think too much, and... well, gosh, I can't stop!" she sighs, her voice carrying that unusually chipper tone even through a topic that Mio swiftly realizes is difficult for her. The Synthetic starts to raise a hand to call for a time out, but Selene counters with a wave of her own - an unspoken 'it's fine'. "So, this cute little doo-dad helps me out. I can turn it off while I'm working, keep it maybe half-power on breaks, and set it full-blast if I just need to, like, switch off and stop thinking for a while. I guess it might be a little hard to understand... hmm. Have you ever scared yourself with your own thoughts, Mio?" Selene asks, and it's this question that causes her bright tone to finally dim, the Elf visible regretting asking the question as soon as it leaves her lips, eyes casting off to one side. Mio blinks, then purses her lips in thought. Why... yes. Yes, she has. "... I've never really thought about it, but yes, I suppose I have. Huh. Well, I'm still not sure I completely get it, but I'm hardly going to judge you for it." Mio assures her, giving a slight bow as she speaks. Selene lights back up and sighs happily, clasping her hands together and placing them on her knee. "Gosh. Strong -and- understanding.~" she giggles with a laugh that Mio considers pleasantly akin to trickling beads of glass. "I'm keeping it fairly low right now, like, just in case something happens in here. Don't worry! But as soon as we're free? Oh, jeez, this thing is going on the max setting for a couple of days, for sure!" she insists, crossing her arms with a confident smirk. Mio returns the smile, nodding. <<include "Selene Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Selene About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio requests, setting her hip against an empty seat and fixing Selene with an inquisitive stare. The Elf, in response, seems to light up in pleasant surprise: even as she points at herself with a single finger to verify the question. Mio nods, and Selene smiles even brighter. "You want to know about me? Oh, gosh!~ Well, um, I'm Selene, I've worked here foooor... like, 6 years, and I'm from Platinum Falls. It's a planet colonized mostly by Pyksielanders like me! I'm a second-gen - one of the first people born on the planet!~ At least, in recent times. See, there's evidence that, like, another civilization existed there a suuuuper long time ago, see? So there's a lot of... mm, vibes? Yeah, vibes about the planet, which is probably what attracted us there. Platinum Falls is pretty crazy - some say it's like the days before the Domes fell, with clashing biomes neighbouring one another with no regard for the climate, eheh. Oh, gosh-- super off track, sorry!~" she giggles, but Mio politely waves her on, not minding the diversion at all - even if she's having trouble picturing it. Seems a tad too fantastical for her tastes. "So, like! I lived there until my late thirties, and then set off for the stars! See, I'm not really all that interested in Magic - never really had the knack for it, no one in my family did or does. But dad insisted that I had a solid brain in my skull, and that I oughta use it! So, I got a scholarship to study the 'Classical' sciences, and ended up focusing on Biology. A lot of the recent hits TentaCo's enjoyed have my signature encoded right on the DNA strands!~ But, uh, the FUM is one of mine, too... Jeez, that one really bit me on the butt, huh?" she laughs awkwardly, ruffling the back of her head with her hand. Mio considers the flow of information for a moment. "Well, your father sounds like he was right, then. Maybe you get your smarts from his side?" she suggests. Selene responds by grinning, dangerously. "And my looks. Though, honestly - ugh, he's SO much prettier than me! Jerk." she snickers, crossing her arms over her chest and failing to perform a mocking pout. Mio can't help but laugh at the attempt, and the two softly giggle together. <<include "Selene Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Selene Staring">><><<if $Selene_Staring is 0>><<set $Selene_Staring to 1>>"You keep staring. Is there something on my face?" Mio inquires with a raised brow, checking the armour plating on her wrist in an effort to peer at her reflection. Of course... that would require her metal not to be quite so pitted and sanded from its extensive use. Selene blinks and opens her mouth in a start, as if pulled from a pleasant daydream. "Oh!-- Like, was I staring? Hah-- um-- no! Nothing on your cute face!--" Selene insists, her eyes widening and a hand flying in front of her mouth at that last part. Such fine nail polish! Mio's other brow joins the first in rising at the unexpected compliment, even if it does make her wonder if it's more a compliment to her or to the designer of said face. "Well!... You were staring, yes. Quite a lot, actually." Mio presses the matter, a slightly lopsided smirk gracing her lips. True to her suspicions, Selene's cheeks flush a dazzling pink-red in response, and she wrings her hands together. "Oh, you!... Huff... You've been nothing but nice to me, you saved me from a big mean brute, and your design is!... like, multiple kinds of aesthetically pleasing! S-so what if I stare! Do... oh gosh, do you mind?" she asks, tapping the tips of her index fingers together before her face, peering over them like a secure wall. Mio ponders the question for a split second, then shakes her head with a smile. "I don't mind at all." the Synthetic replies, and the way that Selene lights up in response makes her core unexpectedly rush with a scarcely-contained pulse of energy. Mio lightly thumps her chest and makes a noise akin to clearing her throat, suddenly turning away from the intensified gaze of the Elf - she has a job to do, yeah!... <<else>> "Selene... you're staring again." Mio gently reminds the Elven scientist, who is no longer bothering to hide her attraction. Nor is she ashamed of it, this time: instead, she waggles an eyebrow and her smirk grows all the bolder. "I sure am, my brave little knight. Whatcha gunna do about it, pout and huff?~" she retorts, closing her eyes and sticking her tongue out cheekily. Mio frowns slightly, opens her mouth... and then pouts and huffs. Then grumbles cutely at Selene's resulting laughter from her spot-on prediction. <</if>> <<include "Selene Speech">><>

<<set $speech_passage to "Selene Bow">>"Are you sure you want me using this bow? It seems important to you." Mio murmurs, scratching her cheek out of some odd instinctive reflex. Having had it in her hand, the details of its age shine through its otherwise immaculate upkeep - it feels like handling something sacred. Despite this, Selene smiles warmly and gives a single, deep nod - her long ears bouncing slightly from the motion. "Absolutely. Yes, it means a lot to me, but... right now, it can do a lot more good in your hands than it can in mine! I'm, like, still shaking like mad, ahah..." she exclaims, raising her arms and letting her hands flop limply: Mio does indeed pick up on their twitching and trembling. "If anything happens to it, it won't be the first time it's been repaired, either. Honestly, there's an argument to be made that it might not even be the same bow as it originally was, all those decades ago! Different people who've owned it have replaced it all, bit by bit. What do you think, Mio? Oh, gosh, like-- you're an Android! Lots of your bits have probably been replaced over time, right? Do you still consider yourself 'you'?" the Elf asks with an inquisitive poke of her own cheek - carefully, given the length of her brilliantly polished nails. Mio pauses, frowning in consideration. "I understand the philosophical theory, but I think I'm still too busy trying to figure out who or what I am to worry about such things." she retorts with a weak smile and a shrug. Selene tilts her head and maintains her warm smile, before raising her arm again to wave Mio off. "Hehe! Soooorry. Nerd brain took over for a sec'. Just, like, do your best, and don't worry about the sake of an object over the sake of people... like me, and you." she winks. Mio's expression softens slightly, and she nods in return... though she can't help but wonder what that means for objects that become people, like her. <<include "Selene Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Selene Quest1">><> <<set $MERCA_Selene_Quest to 1>> "Well, promise kept, even if I didn't get a chance to respond. You said you wanted me to visit you, right?" Mio reminds the Elf, a little sheepish in her words. Selene bats her long lashes, glances off to the side with the slightest of frowns, and then her ruby lips round into an 'oh!' as realization dawns on her, a broad smile gracing her face afterwards. "Yes! Clever girl~. I have something else that I think could help you in your mission, but unlike the Keycard I don't have it on me. It doesn't exactly fit in a pocket, you see! Not without some serious spatial distortion, that is-- hrmm... perhaps if the magi-natural abilities of the Mimic could be directed and repurposed, that... oh, I should push that thought to the vault for now." Selene mutters, placing a finger on the implant upon her ear. Then she glances back to Mio, smiles dreamily, and nods. "Right-- ahah, back to what I was saying! Gosh. Scatterbrain. It's back in my room, in a secure case. If you bring it here, I can open it up for you, and you'd be more than welcome to borrow it." Selene insists, clasping her hands together with a delighted broadening of her already impressively bombastic smile. Mio tilts her head and shifts her weight onto one hip, pondering. "Any help is appreciated, but may I ask which room is yours?" Mio inquires. Selene stares for a moment, her smile faltering slightly... and then she blushes bright red, her cheeks darkening with remarkable speed as she plants a flattened hand over her lips to hide half of her face. "I, um!... Like, I totally don't recall... I-it's not my fault, I only checked in about two hours before everything went haywire! It's, um... gosh... I'm pretty sure it's one of the southern rooms, 'kay? Positive!" Selene insists, balling her hands into fists and nodding frantically. Mio chuckles and raises a hand to appeal for calm. She can't help but find the Elf's excitable mannerisms - happy or embarrassed - oddly endearing. Started Quest "Serene Selene." Check the log for more details. <><<include "Selene Speech">>

Either that or I just broke into someone else's room... But it was one of the south ones, in my defence." Mio smirks, hoisting the case up for Selene to take. It makes her realize the height difference between them... hmph. Selene has no eyes for that, however - hers are fixated on the case as she nods enthusiastically as ever, taking it gently from Mio in both hands. "Yaaass, this is the one! A little... slimier than I remember! I'm going to assume my room is... compromised? Phooey. Good thing I didn't bring much with me for this shift, buuuut I never leave home without this heirloom." Selene explains as she reaches for her implant. With her fingertip poised at the base, she pushes down and drags back, pinching with her thumb as she withdraws a slender little Dataspike from it... hmm. What other tools does she have stowed in that thing!? Mio watches with curiosity burning in her eyes as Selene takes her time - with grace in every motion - bringing the spike to the case's secure lock. She inserts it, then taps a little sequence upon the edge of the case... Mio has no idea if that's part of the unlocking sequence or just a fidget of hers, but moments later the lock -clicks- and the case opens slightly. More questions are raised than are answered by what lies within. A somewhat wide but shallow... basket? Box? A lot of thin pieces of strangely elaborately-hewn alloys, what seems to be an old but well-kept processing core... Mio steps back when Selene turns in her seat and lays things out on the table before her, snapping pieces into place with practised motions, as though this is something she's done a hundred times before. Given the age of Elves, this is quite possible. Time passes quicker than Mio can track it as the heirloom takes shape. Selene turns back around, cradling it in one hand and its accompanying 'box' in the other - a bow! Classically designed, but modern in construction. Mio blinks, eyes darting from end to end, drinking in fine decorative carvings, the perfectly unfrayed string, picking up on the hum of energy from the twinned cores in the bow and in the base of the quiver. "That's... a beautiful weapon, but I've never fired a bow before. And you said it's an heirloom? I ca--" "You can, cutie! And I want you to. Even if you don't use it, may holding onto it bring you luck from above." Selene insists, pushing the weapon into Mio's hands. The Android bites her lip, then attempts the sort of stance she remembers from vague memories of seeing such weapons. To her surprise, the bow reacts to her hold... re-angling itself in her hand, adjusting into the perfect stance via some minor force of gravitational manipulation! The quiver, meanwhile, empty a mere moment ago, now has an arrow in it. Mio watches with surprise as a second begins to rise from the base of the box - it's printing them! "... Thank you, Selene. Hopefully, I won't embarrass myself with it." Mio remarks, even more sheepish than she was earlier! Selene just gives an approving giggle, then leans down to plant a kiss on Mio's cheek, stunning the Android into silence. "Hit a bullseye for me, 'kay babe?~" 'Serene Selene' complete!

<<set $speech_passage to "Iziria Perks">>"Given that you are a Succubus, is this outbreak... good for you?" Mio asks with a slight hesitation, genuinely unsure of how best to phrase it. Iziria smirks, tilting her head to one side for a moment, as though relishing in what little embarrassment the Android can feel. After a moment of letting it hang heavy in the air, she tucks her pencil behind a pointed ear, hidden deep within her silken hair, and laces her fingers together to rest her hands on her knee. Mio notices the horned midsection of one of her neatly folded wings behind her twitch, just a little. "Well, the general vibes - so to speak - are intoxicating. I can simply open my metaphorical mouth and let the energy flow right in... but, consider this. A Succubus - or Incubus, or whichever prefix of many 'Buses - requires the energy derived from sexual stimulation to survive, yes. Just as you require an electrical charge to function and think and exist and the majority of the workers of this facility require food and water. But you can have too much energy. They can have too much food. And I, and my ilk, can have too much... fun, so to speak." the Succubus sighs, pulling her spectacles off of her face and polishing the fine glass against a cloth she pulls from a concealed pocket in her dress. "Consider a man submerged beneath the waves - and not any of the Aquatic In/Vari, for the sake of heading off pedantic comments! Until he rises, his only choice is to keep his mouth shut. That is my situation right now... a woman drowning. Slowly." she shrugs, turning her attention back to Mio with a smouldering stare. The Synthetic purses her lips to one side. That sounds difficult, yes, but is the Succubus blaming her? Her job isn't to clear the infestation, and Iziria knows that... indeed, the Demon shrugs and leans back into her seat again. "Too much of a good thing, darling, is never a good thing. Oh, and... try not to look so worried. I just enjoy being melodramatic~." she giggles girlishly, but Mio can't help but linger on her words... and on whether or not the Succubus is in pain. <<include "Iziria Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Iziria About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio asks, sitting herself down in the chair opposite Iziria. Not that she needs the comfort, but it feels more personable to put herself on the same eye level as the Succubus who, in turn, regards the gesture with an amused smirk as she peers over the ebon rims of her spectacles. "Little old me? Hmm... well, as you probably figured out from my office, I am the head of Sentient Resources of this facility. A somewhat clunky title, yes, but nicely inclusive of the many different species who call this company 'home'~." the Demon purrs, shutting her eyes with a pleasant smile. Mio can't help but feel that she's redirecting the conversation away from herself, though. "I'm hardly about to go into my entire personal history, for we shall be here for the birth and death of entirely new stars in the sky. Needless to say, I am o-... hrmm, experienced, and this is but one of many jobs I've had over the eons." "If you're looking for direction to my question, how about telling me where you're from? If you're as o-- apologies, experienced as you say, I safely assume you're from Terra. I've... never been." Mio admits, crossing her arms as she leans back into the plush chair. Iziria turns away and gazes at nothing in particular, chuckling faintly as she reminisces. "A safe assumption... a correct assumption. I'm from before the domes fell, of course. But my earliest memories - well into my adult years, you understand - are of the Endless West." she explains, her eyes taking on a far-away shimmer. Mio blinks, tilting her head, running back Iziria's words up until this point in her head, more carefully examining her tone, accent, cadence... she would never have guessed. "Sand, and outlaws, and six-shooters? You don't... sound it--" "Well shucks, sugar! A whole heapin' ton can change in a few hund'ud years, wouldn'cha say so?" Iziria interrupts, her voice so wildly transformed as to make Mio recoil in shock. The Succubus bats her eyelashes innocently, then breaks into a witchy cackle. "Oh, the look on your face. Am I being honest? You'll just have to 'assume', you surprisingly inquisitive little thing." the Demon smirks, leaning back and turning her attention to her papers once more. Mio sighs, smirks, and then stands up, genuinely unsure of what conclusion to draw from Iziria's claims. <<include "Iziria Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Iziria Behaviour">>"You behave rather inappropriately, given your job." Mio remarks more than a tad bluntly, her arms crossing with subtle whirs of the machinery beneath the framework. Iziria raises both brows at the statement, feigning shock for just a moment!... before she breaks into a wide, cheeky grin and lets out a hearty giggle. She removes her fine spectacles and delicately places the tip of one of the carved obsidian arms between her teeth, regarding Mio with a salacious bat of her long, curved lashes. "Oh no! Pray tell, have I offended thee? I can assure you, t'was not my intention, m'lord! Oh, plee~eee~eease don't report me to corporate, I'm so apologetic!.. and eager to show you exactly how apologetic, for that matter..." she lets out a ragged sigh, complete with a quake of her shoulders. Mio deadpans in response, and after a moment the Succubus breaks into an even louder giggle, tapping her glasses against her luscious lips with a gleeful exhalation. "I'm a Succubus who works in a living sex toy factory, dear Droid. I like to think I fit right in: working here is an experience, and I'm happy to be a memorable part of it." she defends herself with a smirk, but, upon seeing Mio's continued lack of amusement, she rolls her eyes and shrugs. "If you must know, I've never missed a deadline. Don't get me wrong... I absolutely got this job by sucking the right dicks in management. But I keep it because I'm good at it, little Synth: my behaviour is irrelevant when posted against the results I deliver, for the people under my care and the cultures above. I'm good at making sure that... everyone ends up happy. Go have an accident sometime, and I'll take good care of you.~" she darkly promises, adding a wink on for good measure as she reseats her glasses. Mio frowns... she's genuinely not sure if that was a joke or a threat! <<include "Iziria Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Iziria Pet">>"Is your pet still mad?.." Mio asks with a slight grimace, unable to stop flashes of her recorded memory of the pitched battle between herself and the bladed tentacles of Beezlebuu. Iziria raises a brow at the question as a slick, ebon-black tentacle slips from her neckline and flattens, giving her something to rest her chin on as she pulls her carved glasses down a tad... her smile turning mischievous. "'Mad'? Oh, dearest guest to our shores: my beloved pet is incandescent with rage... yet mixed with so many other conflicting emotions. Furious, yes, that you bested him - and by extension, caused him to fail me, no care given for his own wounds. And yet... awe-stricken at your talents, your design, your tenacity." the Succubus purrs, her eyes taking on a strange glow. Mio frowns, then blinks, an act which only briefly clears the strange narrowing of her vision as she feels it tunnelling onto Iziria's ghostly face and the demon's terrifying eyes! She... she can't move!? "Mmm... oh, yes, especially that bit about design. So... multi-functional. Durable. Oh, the multitude of ways you could be put to use in earning his forgiveness... the thousands of life sentences he would put you through as a wife, a breeder, a pet, a possession, the prized doll of his collection." Iziria smirks... as best as Mio can tell, anyway, only able to register the narrowing of those blackhole eyes by the rising of the demon's cheeks. She hears rather than sees Iziria snap her fingers, and all of a sudden Mio can once again move: backwards, rapidly and awkwardly as her mind is bombarded with a thousand images of herself in the clutches of tentacles ink-black and bruised-purple. They pass as swiftly as they come, and Iziria ends the spell by shutting her eyes with a giggle. Mio shakes her head with a snarl and glares, eyes flitting between the Succubus and the quivering tentacle by her side... is IT laughing at her too!? The Synthetic can't help but huff and cross her arms, fuming as she tries to ignore the rush of specific emotions coursing through her head now. "So! In conclusion?

<<set $speech_passage to "Iziria Quest1">><> <<set $MS_Iziria_Quest to 4>> "Alright. I want to know what the hell happened back there." Mio demands with a hard look on her face, attempting her best intimidating stare. Iziria's smug grin quickly diffuses it, leaving the Android feeling deeply embarrassed, her frown ruined by a quirk in her brow. "Whatever do you mean, dear guest? I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest what you're alluding to." Iziria protests with a dramatic gasp, planting splayed fingers over her lips in a mocking pose. Mio rolls her eyes and scowls, now just annoyed. It's obvious what she means. It's as if Iziria was reading her mind back there, but that makes no sense! Her mind is-- "You're right, that doesn't make sense at all. But neither does the alternative... depending on who you ask." Iziria interjects - sort of. Is it interjecting if no one said anything to interrupt in the first place, at least out loud? Mio is once again baffled, staring at the Succubus with a mixture of feelings. The nature of what she is complicates even looking at her, positive feelings that were not earned mingling with frustration and confusion and concern. "Mm... it's no fun if I spell it out for you, Mio. But reading you is difficult. It's akin to... smudged writing. Muffled words. Is this imperfection, however? Or obfuscation? Gasp! Misdirection, perhaps?..." Iziria continues to rattle off cryptically, leaning in closer to Mio with an almost dreamy edge to her smile. "Well, there's one way to find out. You'd like to know what I'm talking about? Maybe I'll give you a hint if you can confirm something for me... and at the very least, I'll give you a reward for your efforts, something more material - a ring, a powerful enchanted object that should help you on your mission." Iziria insists, raising a hand and flashing said ring, a black band tight and snug upon her ring finger. Mio stares at it for a moment with a strange spike of longing, then looks back to Iziria's grinning face. "All I want in return... is a kiss." Mio blinks. That's it? "A kiss? I... I guess that's alright." she mutters, unsure of herself. Iziria's a Succubus. Some of them are ok, and some of them... aren't. But while Magic has a tendency to work on things it has no logical right to work on, the potential dangers of kissing a Succubus shouldn't affect the Android. Right? Feeling awkward, unsure of what to do with her hands, Mio leans in and parts her lips. She shuts her eyes-- And then gasps when she feels a clawed finger upon her forehead, just below the fringe of her helmet, keeping her mere inches at bay. "No no no... not like this. Not as you are now. No, Mio... I want to kiss you at your most desperate, for desperation is the mother of honesty. Go out there. Fight. And then come back to me when you feel like you can't hold out any longer..." Iziria whispers, slowly pulling her arm back but shifting her head off to the side, until her lips brush against Mio's aural sensor. Her words are almost silent yet they boom in the stunned Synthetic's head. "Your reward, me, and my lips... will all be waiting for you, breathless with anticipation." Suddenly, everything seems to jolt. Mio startles and looks around shakily, now standing a respectable distance from Iziria, whose attention has turned back onto her paperwork as she hums a little tune. FUCK, this Demon is infuriating! Mio should return when she is at 'her most desperate'. <><<include "Iziria Speech">>

She doesn't get the chance. Not when Iziria squeals in delight, hands clasped to either side of her face, her hungry eyes peering through the cracks of her fingers as she devours the sight of Mio at her most desperate... and lunges to claim it. "--Mmmph!?--" "Mmmmrrmm~..." In a flash - perhaps even quicker than that - the clawed fingers that were grasping Iziria's face now grasp Mio's, the tips of those claws lightly digging into her synthskin, one riding the very seam between the layered plates of it upon her cheek. Mio first tried to approach this kiss with her eyes closed, on her own terms... but now that it's happening, her eyes are wild and wide as she feels Iziria's unnaturally perfect lips against her own. As she feels a tongue far longer than it should be slip past her wettened lips to explore - to invade. As fingers slip upon her skin, as Iziria's face tilts to re-angle and dive deeper... "--hh-hhrmph..." "Mmmmhmmm~..." How long does that kiss last? Mere seconds, or a thousand lifetimes? Mio can't feel anything below her neck. Can't perceive anything but Iziria, her whole world reduced to the sensations the Succubus sees fit to let her sink in. Mio twitches as that tongue dares to graze against her throat, a reaction hard-coded into the logic of her replacement body... and then she gags as it slips past and down, Iziria's grasp tightening on the Android as she suckles and slurps, teeth gently grazing against Mio's lips before her tongue withdraws just so that it can coil tightly about Mio's own. "--Grk!-- houuah!.." "Mmmmhaaaah... ahahah~." Mio blinkers in bewilderment, sure she must look an absolute fool as Iziria withdraws ever so slightly, holding Mio's tongue in her own, having dragged it just past her lips - tightly coiled and crushed by her far more experienced and far more dominant own. Then, it begins to unravel. Mio shudders as she feels every bump of the Demoness' tongue slither past hers, and when the kiss is finally broken, thick and thin strands of saliva - synthetically produced and 'real' - hang heavy between the two women's lips. A fire burns in Iziria's eyes, a strange, pale purple flame, no more than a cinder of a dying bonfire. Or perhaps the spark before a roaring fire. "Utterly... delectable. What a unique taste... oh, it took me everything not to take it from you. But that, oh... that would have been akin to eating a bud destined to become an apple. Thank you, dear guest." Iziria whispers, a finger placed on Mio's lower lip, enthralling and silencing her. It trails down onto her chin, then briefly departs before touching back down to trail her arm... finally resting in her metal palm. Mio looks down. That promised ring is in her hand, now. But what about the answer?.. No. The answer is pretty clear. Mio gets one last glimpse of that spark in the Succubus' eye, knowing that eyes can be windows as much as they can be mirrors. She swallows, drily. She rubs her lips with the back of her hand grasped tight around that ring, and then Mio... grumbles and steps back, arms crossed tightly as Iziria gives a light giggle akin to crystal drops. <<if $fantasize is 0>>'The SR Rep From Hell' complete!

Frankly, given how ill-fitting Ruzi's lab coat is, she isn't sure if it actually belongs to her. Ruzi takes a moment to respond, shuffling in a futile effort to get comfortable again. "I'm an assistant researcher, which means I make the coffee. Which means I get the coffee from one of the vending machines." She snorts dismissively. "I'm still new around here, in the scheme of things. I occasionally get to give input on designs, but for the most part, I'm just an odd-jobs gal." she further explains, drumming her fingers on the floor on either side of herself and looking up towards the ceiling. "It's alright, I guess. I'm not really an ambitious person, I just wanna get paid and then relax... but after this whole 'outbreak' thing, I'm, uh, reconsiderin' the job." she admits, rubbing her shoulder, shivering from the sensation of toxins still aching through her flesh. "Oh? Are you going to look elsewhere? That's understan--" "ActuallyIMightSeeIfThere'sAnOpeningForProductTestersHahaOkByebyeForNow." Ruzi blurts out with a blush before turning her head away sharply, a clear indication that the conversation is over. Mio blinks in soft bewilderment, then stifles a scoff. Well then. <<include "Ruzi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ruzi About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio requests, turning to lean against the same wall as Ruzi is sitting again. The young Deer blinks at the question with a slight frown, evidently not enjoying being put on the spot. "Uh... I'm boring, sorry. I'm a research assistant with no real aspirations. I get paid enough, I keep to myself, and my hobbies are pretty much all indoors." she offers a little helplessly, glancing off to the side with a grumble and a shiver - that motion enough to trigger the toxic ache in her aphrodisiac-flushed skin. "Well... what sort of hobbies?" Mio inquires, hoping to steer Ruzi in some sort of direction. In return, the Deer bites her lower lip in thought. "Uh... binge-watching shows, playing games and... writing?..." she trails off, drawing far too much suspicion to that last one. Enough so that Mio can't help but raise a brow, smirk a little, and lean in closer. "Writing? What sort of things do yo-" "N-normal stuff but private stuff so we should talk about something else!!" she blurts out, interrupting the Android on the cusp of giggling. "Fine, fiiiiine." <<include "Ruzi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ruzi Antlers">>"Do you mind if I ask about the antlers?.." Mio inquires gently, eyes inevitably drawn to the impressive branching structures. Ruzi glances up with her eyes and pouts. "These things? Ugh. They never got the memo that I ain't a dude." she huffs, crossing her arms a little tighter. "There's a ton of options for transitioning these days, but, uh... I don't really trust magic. At all. So I went with one of the chemical routes, which worked great!... until about two years later. I wake up with a headache and boom, these things are back all of a sudden, already like... 3 inches long with their first branch forming!" she complains, reaching up to poke at the tip of one of said branches, her finger bending as she applies pressure. She rests her cheek on her opposite hand, balled into a loose fist, pushing her face into a lopsided grumble. Mio contemplates for a moment. "I take it they bother you, then? But surely there are ways of removing them." she asks, aware that she may be showing her ignorance. Ruzi sighs to confirm just that, giving a somewhat deadpan stare. "They fall off by themselves after a few months. Then they start growing back, like, right away. Happens every year... uh, Terran year, that is. I've stunted them a few times with this stingy cream stuff I had to rub onto the pedicle, but honestly? That was more of a pain than just letting 'em grow. There's some surgeries I could have to permanently stunt 'em, oooor I could go the magic route - ugh - but... hrmm. I dunno. I have complicated feelings about these dumb things, alright?" she shoots back with a huff. Mio raises her hands disarmingly. "I'm not judging, and I apologize if my questions have offended." "They!... they haven't. Don't worry about it. It's just tricky to reconcile with. They're an undeniably 'masculine' thing, but... I think I'm coming around to owning it, even if I'm a gal. Plus, it's kind of neat to have a self-defence weapon around at all times. If I'd accepted and just used 'em earlier, I might not have been captured. Maybe I'm looking at a blessing and calling it a curse... best of both worlds kinda thing? Look-- like I said, complicated. Hit me up in 10 years and see what I think then, alright?" Ruzi snorts with a dismissive shake of her head, but Mio just smiles at the flippant remark. "If I'm still functional by then? Certainly. I hope you find a satisfactory conclusion." "Well... hey, thanks." <<include "Ruzi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ruzi Wellbeing">>"Are you alright? You are still shivering." Mio inquires, conscious of not making her tone too patronizing. Organics, as a rule, really seem to hate that. Regardless of the effort, Ruzi grumbles slightly and withdraws further into her self-hug. "My skin aches like I've run an all-day marathon on all fours. Which... was kinda mind-blowingly hot when I was gettin' railed, but now? This sucks." she huffs, wincing slightly as she shuffles again. "Like... thanks for your concern and like, y'know, all that, but-- Ugh. I'm-- I'm tired and there's nothin' you can realistically do about that, so don't ask." she requests, tilting her head back, antlers clonking against the wall behind her. Mio raises a brow, but then realizes she's doing it on purpose to rest against them... must be better than pressing her sensitive back against the cool metal! <<include "Ruzi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ru'Drexi Powder">>"How are your hips?" Mio asks with a slight wince. "Reduced to a fine... Powder." Powder snickers, then winces in turn - unlike Mio's empathetic look, this one's real. Ru'Drexi gives a dismissive 'pft' and lightly whaps him on the shoulder, however. "You're totally milking it." she huffs. Powder snorts at the accusation, eyes wide and smile disbelieving. "Milking it!? Woman, you were milking me! Honestly, if you want kids that damn bad~..." "Ahem... but your hips hurt, right?" Mio interrupts with a deadpan look, possibly averting some incredibly law-breaking PDA. Powder pauses, then winces - this time far more obviously fakely. "Ooooh... why'd ya have to remind me, aaaah..." he groans unconvincingly. Ru'Drexi evidently finds it adorable, however, and just hugs her husband with a happy sigh, cheek against his chest. <<include "Ru'Drexi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ru'Drexi About">>"Tell me about yourselves." Mio asks, leaning on the back of the couch with crossed arms, the couple looking up at her lazily. Ru'Drexi is quick to leap into a response! "Alrighty! I'm Ru'Drexi - just Drexi, once we know one another enough!~ - and I'm a commercial freight manager for a spaceport. Basically, I oversee the work of a few machine programs that catalogue incoming and outgoing freight from ships small and large alike, reporting on any inconsistencies, chasing up suspected contraband to the proper authorities, and taking over in the event of a logical failure. I've been doing that for about!... seven years now, but it's my second year in the managing role." she explains with an animated smile and bounce to her words, head flicking left and right every now and then. Powder stirs from beneath her, sensing his cue is up. "Mm... Powder Snow. Just Powder works. I'm a Helzent, but I prefer the masculine look." he explains, lazily motioning to himself with a hand. Mio nods - she doesn't know much of Jelli and Helzent, but she does know that despite their shapeshifting abilities, the majority of both sister-species trend feminine in imitation of their singular progenitor. "I'm a threat assessment officer, which is typically a freelance gig for most companies unless they've got the scale and operations to justify it. I used to do that, but I've got permanent employment on the same station as the little lady, here." he continues, giving his wife a squeeze and earning an adoring giggle. "He managed to convince the station overseers that they could use his services regularly, all without tellin' me! We had a few dates, said our goodbyes... so imagine my surprise when he shows up at the office two days later-- in a suit." Ru'Drexi smirks, earning a slight wince from Powder. "Ugh, don't remind me. It took me months to talk them down to lettin' me dress... hrgh-- 'smart casual'." he grimaces, speaking the words in a mocking tone. Even so, Ru'Drexi silences him with a heated smooch before breaking away to nestle against his chest. "Thaaat's uuuuus. Apparently. ♥" <<include "Ru'Drexi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ru'Drexi Gloves">>"Why do you wear those gloves?" Mio asks to Ru'Drexi, who simply smiles at the question and raises an arm, sleek and shiny and black in the overhead lights. "Oh, these things? They're pretty much scaffolding. See, we Jelli are suuuper adaptable and can take on all kinds of shapes, but unless we're in lower temperatures or concentrating reeeaaal hard, we're not too good at maintaining them." she explains, pausing for a moment to flex her fingers on her raised hand, tracing from her wrist to her shoulder with the opposite hand. "But we've got ways around that. This is a simple and obvious one! Slightly stiff and durable clothing like this allows us to 'mould' into shape. It's not uncommon to see Jelli with 'tentacle' gloves on the backs of their outfits; fill 'em out and hey presto, you've got extra limbs! Depending on what they're tipped with, they can even be utilized as more complex tools than just a wrapping, gripping tendril." "That does sound handy. But I guess you're rather... squishy, without them?" Mio inquires, a little gently. Ru'Drexi wiggles her hand flatly, neither confirming nor denying. She smirks and brushes a stout 'lock' of her gel-formed hair out from her eyes, shifting slightly as Powder lazily squeezes her around the middle. It looks like a firm hug, and yet Ru'Drexi appears to be keeping her shape and consistency well. "We're more solid in our torsos and heads - things get softer the further out from there. Plus, any damage is easy to repair. While it means it's a little more difficult to shift the shape of our central bodies, it means we're great at regenerating and patching in the cracks, so to speak.~" she gives a wink, only to blink as Powder speaks up. "Ain't that difficult to change her shape, for reference. You should see how big her chest can get." Powder smirks, getting a playful slap to his own chest for the trouble! "Only on your birthdays, darling!... and only if you somewhat behave. Don't tease the poor girl!" Ru'Drexi huffs, crossing her arms and taking on a serious tone. Unfortunately, she mostly just comes off as a 'hot teacher', enough so that Mio feels more embarrassed now than she did by that remark about expanding tits! She politely clears her throat and just nods. <<include "Ru'Drexi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ru'Drexi Vacation">><<set $MS_Meh_Parents to 1>>"What are you doing here, anyway?" Mio asks with a somewhat bewildered look, turning her head to gaze out over the safe room at large. Her eyes are inevitably drawn to the dead surface of Vi-16 out the bay window, however, with the lovey-dovey pair off to her left, just in the corner of her eyes. They're both looking out onto it too. "Business!" "And pleasure." Ru answers and Powder adds; he smirks in the corner of Mio's vision, getting a playful 'shush' from Ru'Drexi. "We're making a few creds and getting set up as a bonus for our trouble. TentaCo wanted samples of Jelli and Helzent biology, but it looks like people were pretty reluctant to take them up on it." "So, we negotiated a pretty sweet deal out of it. A little boost on the asking price, and a week's paid vay-cay out on the main colony; there's a big pleasure park set up there to cater to the various business outposts that use this moon to base expansion efforts out from." "You seem to have done your research... I'd never heard of this moon until today, let alone this system." Mio admits, tapping her jawline with a thoughtful finger, casting a glance down at the snuggling pair. Powder shrugs, a smooth smile on his face. "S'what I do. I'm a risk assessor, professionally. But that also means researching places to know them inside and out, to best figure out potential issues and fixes for them." "Too bad this place didn't have one! Buuuut, it's not as if our stay hasn't been eeenjoooyaaable. ♥~" Ru'Drexi adds, grinning warmly and poking Powder upon the nose with two fingers. The Helzent scoffs in response. "The only thing that needs a risk assessment is my damn back, woman! Still... might have to see if whatever that gas was is for sale, huh? In smaller doses..." The giggling and heavy petting both intensify and Mio scoffs, looking away with a shake of her head. These two don't have an 'off' button... <<include "Ru'Drexi Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Meh About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio asks, and the derisive look Meh gives her through the reflection is almost enough to floor her. "What? You of all people should know I'm still figuring that out." Meh scowls, her tone as aggressive as it is confused. Mio sighs, then raises her hands flat, signalling peace. "Naturally, yes. What I'm trying to offer you is a chance to discuss it. To figure things out. What you're going through is... a lot faster than it's gone for me, but still. Even if you don't believe it, I do want to help." Mio explains, keeping her tone soft, but doing her best to avoid it becoming patronizing - keeping an eye on Meh's subtle shifts in her gaze to get a rough idea of how she's doing, diplomacy-wise. "... Fine. I'm... Meh, and I chose that name because it annoyed you. Maybe I'll keep it, maybe I won't. I like... purple, and squeezing things until they break, and there's about a hundred impulses in my head telling me to slither over to you and fuck your nosey little brains out - or whatever the fuck you've got instead of a brain." Meh starts, shifting her position slightly as she glares over her shoulder at Mio. The Android stands her ground, despite the verbal threat, and tilts her head as she ponders a question. "Well, I'm glad to know one thing you like. Can you think of anything else?" she inquires, placing her hands on her hips. Meh glances away, frowns, then shrugs, turning back to the bay window and the moon's surface beyond. "I like this. This view, these stars. I think... I would like to see more of it. You can go now." she dismisses the Android, raising her arm in another of those odd, half-hearted waves. Mio softly sighs, but chalks it up as 'a start'. <<include "Meh Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Meh Parents">>"Have you talked to your parents, much?" Mio inquires with a little glance towards Ru'Drexi and Powder Snow. The couple are, as usual, sprawled over one another - but nothing about them implies any hostility towards Meh, who remains distant from them. Meh rolls her eyes before fixing them back on Mio's reflection. "This might surprise you, but we're taking things slowly. It's weird for me and weird for them. Don't make it any weirder." she mutters with an obvious warning edge to her tone. Mio purses her lips lopsidedly, but supposes that's fair. At the very least, it seems Meh does care in her way. <<include "Meh Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Meh Settling">>"How are you settling in?" Mio asks, tucking her hands behind the small of her back in a somewhat militaristic fashion. Meh's impassive stare bores into her eyes through the reflection on the glass... Mio is almost glad of the optical barrier between them, as though at any moment Meh's glare might take on petrifying capabilities. "... The view is nice. Good and dead: makes me feel alive by comparison." she replies with a soft shrug of slender shoulders. Mio isn't sure if that's good or not... it's not aggressive, and that's something, at least. But... "That's not really what I asked, though." Mio reminds her, attempting a gentle tone. Meh simply snorts derisively, her reflected gaze narrowing. "Yeah? Well, that's the answer I'm giving. Stop trying to mother me." she growls, lifting her fingers to drum them from little to index across her hip. Though, given her less-than-solid composition, it sounds more akin to eerily regular raindrops than drumming. Mio sighs with a shake of her head, but decides not to press the matter further. <<include "Meh Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Ervina About">>"Tell me about yourself." Mio requests, relaxing her stance, hands tucked behind her back. Ervina purses her lips to one side and takes a moment to respond, looking up at the ceiling. "Me?... I'm not that exciting, hun. Uh... I'm Terran, been with the company for a few years-- I dunno, five or six? Used to work closer to home, but the bonuses for working out on distant facilities are pretty good, so I'm savin' up." she shrugs, stifling a yawn with a hand over her mouth. Mio tilts her head, lips parting slightly as something occurs to her. "Presumably, you're saving up for a reason. That's something to talk about, surely?" she suggests, attempting to help the Invari woman along. However, Ervina pauses at the question - or accusation, as it could be read. She shuffles a little in her lounging pose, then clucks her tongue and grumbles. "I!... ugh. Don't laugh. I wanna open a lil' diner, someday. Back on Terra... but it's pretty pricey to live there these days, let alone own a business property. But... food's been important to my family stretchin' back generations, and there's a lot of recipes I'd like to share with the world at large." she admits, sounding rather adorably bashful about the whole thing. Mio doesn't dare judge, of course. She smiles warmly, on the contrary. "Why would I laugh about that? That sounds like a lovely goal. It's a little different from what I expected, though, given what you do now... and your obvious interest in tech and machinery." she presses with a slight shrug. Ervina just grins at this, raising a finger. "Who says there ain't overlap? I'm guna automate the hell out of my kitchen! 'Cept for the special dishes. Those need the personal touch. Anyway-- that's my deal. Cruise through work, put aside money, and live the dream. Soooome day. Who knows, might incorporate some tentacle monster-based dishes into the mix... Byproduct Research comes up with technically edible things all the time." Mio grimaces slightly at that. She can't help but imagine things... wriggling, on the way down. <<include "Ervina Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "Dizz Workshop">>"Is there anywhere around here suitable for fixing up my gear?" Mio asks with a hand on the back of her neck, a strange little emotive action that she cannot discern the origin for. Curious. Dizz glances up from her terminal, then back - she points ot the stairs not with a finger, but via the swivel of one of her oversized batty ears. "Yeah, actually! Pretty sure there's a workbench set up in the lil' downstairs-y bit. Should 'ave what you need." she explains, swaying back and forth as if listening to music. Given her slightly manic mind, maybe she's just imagining it? Mio turns to the stairs... the southern set leads down. <<include "Dizz Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "iRIS Outbreak">>"Have you seen anyone who evaded the outbreak?" Mio inquires, turning on the spot to face each of the doors in this annex chamber in turn. There's a lot of ground to cover... ugh. When she arrives back at iRIS, she's disappointed to find that her foxxy avatar has adopted a rather morose expression - one that borders on shame. "I am afraid I have not. As I am a prototype with a considerable credit-sum invested into my testing phase, there are certain parameters I must obey in certain events... and in the event of an outbreak, my orders were to lock myself down thoroughly. This blinded me to my surroundings. I was only able to override these orders when the infestation breached these defences, advancing me into a state of active defence, rather than passive." iRIS explains, her projected image casting a gaze around the infested room. She shakes her head and sighs, her springy, fluffy ears flattening sadly. "Therefore... I raised my lockdown to find myself alone, save for the occasional foolhardy tentacle or enamoured Glob. The latter of which is somewhat flattering, in an odd way-- but I digress... I didn't get to see where anyone might have ended up." she confesses, casting her gaze downwards. "You're being harsh on yourself for something beyond your control. You're speaking to a fellow machine, remember? We don't always get a say in things..." Mio tuts at herself, looking down at her Gynoid-salvaged torso with a grumble. Still, the assuring tone gets through to iRIS; her display seems to cheer up, giving a grateful nod. <<include "iRIS Speech">>

<<set $speech_passage to "iRIS Goo">>"Can I ask about the... goo?" Mio cautiously asks, tilting her body from side to side to get different angles into the translucent gel that comprises much of iRIS' construction. The Kitsune-faced machine's avatar nods happily, not offended in the slightest. "Of course! I'll be happy to answer your questions, but I can start with a rundown. As mentioned, I'm a prototype created by this company: more specifically, one based off of byproduct and repurposing conceptualizations. By now, you've likely heard of or even directly encountered the 'Glob'-type goo monster. I am mostly comprised of the same artificial slime substance, albeit modified as a better insulator of temperature." she explains, her head shifting from row to row as she does so, pointing with her eyes as she makes sections of the menu display fade away to reveal the calmly roiling goop beneath it. "With a two-fold processing system - the main unit stored in this shell, with a smaller mobile unit akin to a Glob's core within the 'goo' substance, as you call it - I have full control over the composition and position of every last drop. This allows me to make rapid and stable alterations to project any image of my choosing, allowing for advanced customer-company communication." she goes on, pausing here with a look towards Mio that invites further questioning. "Well, I can certainly see how animated you are, but... why a vending machine? And isn't everything covered in... well, goo?" Mio asks with a grimace, but iRIS doesn't look offended in the slightest. "Highly efficient refrigeration, for one. After a small energy expenditure to provide initial cooling, I can maintain low, storage-suitable temperatures. Furthermore, each product I host is protected by a bio-dissolvable film - while my goo is sterile, this further prevents any worries of 'contamination'. An upgrade is in the works that will allow me to further insulate myself internally, allowing for shielded raising of temperatures to cook products on the spot, further expanding my inventory of food and drink! Furthermore, the amount of expression and semi-intelligent 'thought' I am capable of is done on a much smaller demand for energy than typical computing means: I'm as efficient as an organic brain." iRIS explains cheerfully as she reduces the pigmentation of one sector of her window, revealing a colourful canned drink in a perfectly translucent square. "I understand if the current situation at this facility has given you a negative view of TentaCo, but take it from me: they are committed to doing good for all the Galaxy... not just those of a sexually liberated mindset." "That's a fairly extensive feature set." Mio admits, electing to ignore the pro-company lines towards the end - a brief glance over her shoulder gives her an eyeful of roiling purple infestation as a silent but effective counterargument. "Is there anything else?" "Hmm... oh! I'm also equipped to deal with vandals and would-be thieves." iRIS announces happily!... before her face turns mischievous - almost intimidating! - even as it distorts and fades, the entire mass of goo bubbling for a moment before it springs towards Mio! The Android lets out a soft but startled gasp as a hand that dwarfs her in size forms out of the goop, threatening to close around her!... but mercifully, it returns to the machine's shell and flattens back out, iRIS' face returning with an apologetic giggle. Mio bristles more than slightly, her glare communicating her displeasure. "You could have asked before that little 'demonstration'! I'm jumpy enough as it is..." the Synthetic huffs, arms crossing-- only for her to flinch and lower them again, reminding herself not to leave herself vulnerable out in hostile territory. iRIS hums out a little giggle, though there's an apologetic edge to it. "Apologies, honoured guest Mio! Though, if it is any consolation, I'm sure you'd look dashing on display in my inventory~." she purrs, slyly smiling at Mio's wide-eyed shock in reaction. "Well, allow me to make it up to you. My range is limited, but... if you should happen to get into trouble close enough to me, just ask, and I'll give the miscreant a good slap for you." she promises, forming a much smaller hand with its little finger raised up. A pinky swear. Even Mio knows that a pinky swear is sacred. She rubs the back of her sculpted hair-helmet and huffs, but nods. If fighting within a few tiles of iRIS, the Context Move 'iRIS Punch' is now accessible! <<set $iRIS_Punch_Unlocked to 1>> <<include "iRIS Speech">>

<><<set $speech_passage to "iRIS Quest">><<set $MS_M4X_Quest to 2>> "iRIS, do you know a vending machine, designation M4X?" Mio inquires, hands on her hips. iRIS' projection lights up with a pleasant smile, her face bouncing as she imitates a nod. "I do indeed! She was very polite, if not a little nervous. Cute, really. But not to patronize her, no no! She had some very beneficial insights into our work that I've found quite valuable on reflection. In truth, I find myself missing our little chats... I suppose one never knows what they have until it's gone, hmm? Oh-- I do hope she's doing alright! Why do you ask? She hasn't been vandalized by these awfully organic brutes, has she!?" iRIS gasps, a wash of relief across her face when Mio shakes her head firmly, raising a hand to cut her off before she worries herself into a tizzy. "No, nothing like that, she's fine. Giving anything that tries to nab a free sample from her stock a -zap-. I ask because she has a message to pass on to you. It's not much, just... hello, and how are you?" Mio shrugs, smiling a little bashfully. Being a message girl is a little odd, but iRIS' broad smile in response is a pleasant enough reward for the little deed. "Oh, how sweet! Hmmhmm... I don't mean to impose, but could I trouble you to bring back my reply? Tell her that I'm thrilled to hear from her and that I'm doing quite alright - despite my surroundings! I inquire that she's taking care of herself in turn? Also, Pawn to E4." she concludes, leaving Mio frowning a little as she mentally records it all. Well, she could always just play it back, she supposes... "Right. If I head back that way, I'll let her know." Mio nods, glancing down south. This... might be a recurring thing in her immediate future... <<include "iRIS Speech">> <>

While imperfect, its surface is wonderfully smooth to the touch, and it glows with a bright purple glow, enough so that it shines through one's fingers in a closed fist. When crushed with sufficient force, the crystal shatters and released its stored energy in a state fit for absorption by organic life or Glowtek batteries.

Indeed, swallowing it is not recommended in the slightest, though it would only be a temporary inconvenience if one did. Upon contact with saliva, the Smart Pill rapidly breaks down into liquid form and can be swallowed with ease, whereupon a degradable nanomachine swarm package enters the bloodstream at highspeed. One pass around the body creates a scan referenced against the closest match the database has to a prior patient, whereas the second scan attempts to reconcile differences: injuries, illnesses, foreign contaminants and so on. Before they degrade away into a harmless substance that the body will remove naturally, a full report is uploaded to the database to improve the product further: each Smart Pill taken makes all Smart Pills better. By using a Smart Pill, you agree to the terms of conditions as laid out by the Sera-Sera Corporation and absolve them of responsibility in the 1/100000000 likelihood of a 'Grey Goo' scenario. <<set $Player_Heal to ($Player_hp_max * 0.5)>> <<if $Player_wits_total > 5>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_hp_max * 0.05>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_htemp * 5>> <<set $Player_Heal to $Player_Heal + $Player_htemp>> <</if>> <<if $Player_wits_total <= 5>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_hp_max * 0.05>> <<set $Player_htemp to $Player_htemp * $Player_wits_total>> <<set $Player_Heal to $Player_Heal + $Player_htemp>> <</if>> <<if $Player_wits_total <= 0>> <<set $Player_Heal to ($Player_hp_max * 0.5)>> <</if>> <<set $Player_Heal to Math.round($Player_Heal)>> Restores $Player_Heal HP.

They are often tall and slender and move with much grace. Their most defining feature would be their head tails, or 'Neurevu' (singular and plural) - all Visobarzi have at least one large prehensile tail extending from their heads in place of hair, with many possessing two, three or many smaller or shorter ones, with size and length usually depending on age and physical activity. They have colourful skin tones which may rarely exhibit patterns and two-tone changes akin to Terra's Amphibian Vari population, and they have expressive faces with big, bright eyes and sharp teeth behind smiling lips. They often wear headbands to separate their faces from their Neurevu, and even Visobarzi without patterned bodies will usually possess facial patternings based on genetics, with almost all individuals possessing darkening of the brows and at least one stripe mirrored on either cheek. They have slightly recessed noses and very slender ears which flick and curve upwards, aking to a quotation mark on its side - rounded at the base, curved sharply at the end. Visobarzi are identified easily in a crowd, even without taking into consideration their Neurevu. There are two common fashion statements among their people. One is their suits: due to their amphibious, sleek hides, their skin must be allowed to breathe and must stay hydrated. Many Visobarzi wear skintight suits made from special, water-breathable materials, and these often come with zips and other attachment methods for partial removal of panels to allow for exposing patterns down the limbs, front, back and sides. This well-compliments the Species' penchant for acrobatic proclivities, for even exposed panels will cling snugly enough to their bodies to prevent from becoming snagged. Many will further decorate these suits with colourful and often patterned sashes and hoods, which ties in to the other Visobarzi mainstay: The masks. Visobarzi will almost all wear visor-equipped masks with seals that conform to the front of their heads, allowing their Neurevu to remain exposed for the purposes of prehensile activity and subtle body language in conversation with one another. In hazardous environments, of course, these can be safely concealed via additional coverings. To further facilitate communication, these visors are equipped with a variety of methods of expression, including but not limited to adjustable colour glow, image displaying, adjustable opacity, face-tracking, word display, automatic translation software, and HUD elements for a variety of purposes. It is very common to see these visors decorated with 'spines' along the edges, in mimicry of the guardian Species, the Neuvo. The Visobarzi are sometimes thought of as aimless hedonists, and this may have a ring of truth to it. But the truth is that they are a Species given a second chance at life, and they intend to make the most of it. Their hedonism and vice are not selfish: in fact, they wish to spread them among the stars, to encourage all lifeforms to enjoy the time they have on this plane, to live and laugh and lust and love. They are accomplished entertainers of all sorts, but can apply themselves brilliantly to a number of practical applications, especially engineering - they fit where many others cannot, and always have a spacesuit handy. Visobarzi have a specialized sac in their throats which enables them to emit vibrating croak 'purrs'. It is difficult for them to stifle this behaviour when inebriated, be this through booze, drugs, sex, or headpats. <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Visobarzi Origin">> The Visobarzi stem from the same system as the Neuvo, but are significantly their Junior - not all Species step from the primordial swamps at the same time, though the emergence of the Visobarzi as compared to the Neuvo may be the single largest recorded length of time in a single system's sentience gap. Unfortunately for the Visobarzi, their planet was doomed; it suffered from an extending orbit, growing further from the system's sun with every full rotation, eventually doomed to grow too cold to sustain life. Many Neuvo consider themselves the shepherds of the Galaxy, and it is often by their whims that planets doomed to succumb to a 'Great Filter' (challenges all Species must face on the road to becoming spacefaring) are spared or left to fend for themselves. But the case of the Visobarzi was nuanced and complex. They were born to the same system as the Neuvo, creating a potential problem of nepotism. They were extremely young for a sentient race (all things considered), but excelled in culture and arts. They were seen as a largely peaceful race - more than a few warmongering planets have been left to nuke themselves to death. The problem their planet faced could not be fixed, but they could adapt to overcome it... and on and on the debate raged, until just one Neuvo lost patience with his fellows. He selected five individual Visobarzi at different points of the frigid planet and forged a mental link with them, explaining their plight and introducing himself simply as 'a friend'. Unifying the Species using these five individuals, he directed all Visobarzi on the planet to gather in large groups centred around each linked ally... and, with immense concentration the likes of which a Neuvo has never accomplished before or since, teleported the entire Species to a new world capable of sustaining them. Defying the council was the least of his concerns, for the Neuvo perished in the act, his mind searing with the force of a solar flare. The five individuals to whom he was linked suffered greatly, but were informed of the risks years beforehand, and had accepted them. Only two survived, and not for long. Swept from the jaws of oblivion, the Friend and his Chosen were elevated to the status of saints in the Visobarzi's eyes, honoured to this day with plays and poems and music and dance. An already artistic race became a roving carnival of life's pleasures, for none understand better than the Visobarzi that you only live once. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Visobarzi Names">> Visobarzi names are extremely varied, but they follow a set pattern. The first name can be just about anything they please, and it is not uncommon for them to change it on a whim, even adopting the naming styles of other aliens that they've had positive relations with - Rakumo names are surprisingly popular due to the Species' shared history of homeworld destruction. The second name is their family name, and the third name is the name of their home fleet - either the original or that which they have come to adopt. Traditional Visobarzi first names tend to include a break somewhere in the middle and contain many vowels. Second and Fleet names tend to be much shorter, often one-syllable with harsher consonant endings. A full example might be Jaaru'saha Vlut Grod. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Visobarzi Culture">> Visobarzi are nomads, given the destruction of their homeworld. They are hedonistic and joyful people, looking to spread smiles wherever they go. The majority of the Visobarzi make lives on fleets of ships earned or purchased primarily from other races: Visobarzi technology is fairly limited in many ways, as they've simply adapted that of other aliens. They will often modify these ships so that they can be connected and docked together, or linked by umbilical platforms - it is not uncommon to see a Visobarzi fleet parked in orbit somewhere chained together like some sort of hamster habitat, large tubes linking ship to ship to station. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<linkreplace "Visobarzi Neurevu">> Visobarzi are all born with a single, large head-tail, reaching down to their shoulder blades. This is an extension of their brain, guarded by a flexible but thick layer of muscle and fat, affording it prehensibility to a degree. As they grow, so too does this tail. The extra brainpower it affords them is special: neurons form extremely easily but affect those around them to lean towards the learned subject. As a result, the tail will help a Visobarzi master one specific skill (or a grouping of skills with similar overlap). A Visobarzi is capable of splitting their tail with concentration, an abundance of stored body fats and sugars, and recovery time. The result is a diminished capacity for the original tail, but the ability to split specialization across two subjects. A Visobarzi with a single, large tail down to the small of their back is likely an expert in some field, be it intellect-based or more grounded in reaction times and muscle memory. A Visobarzi with twin-tails will have two disciplines they excel at - three three, four four, and Visobarzi with tentadreads are likely to be at least somewhat talented in a variety of fields but a master of none of them. The more the Neurevu are split, the weaker they become not only in terms of the brainpower they provide but also in terms of how well they can insulate and guard this additional brainmatter. Tugging on Visobarzi Neurevu is extremely taboo, so it's done all the damn time - the effect is most similar to a properly-applied choke of the neck, as the tightening of the Neurevu compresses and restricts the brain in much the same way as choking restricts blood flow. While it is rare, some Visobarzi devote themselves to strengthening their Neurevu into powerful, prehensile extra limbs capable of lifting a grown Terran right off the ground with ease: the most common exercise to achieve this are pull-ups performed with the arms crossed, one leg crossed ankle-over the other, using only their Neurevu. <</linkreplace>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "Codex Return">><>

With her weapon pointed down at it impassively, Mio watches as the other three respond not by attacking, but by grouping up and retreating backwards... albeit not quite out of sight. Mio frowns at the display of tribalism, a brow-furrowed look deepened by the quivering struggles of the one beneath her heel.

[Focus success!] Mio snaps to her senses! Mio suddenly scrunches her eyes shut tight! When she opens them again, she somehow turns that cutesy crosseyed stare into a fearsome glower... and though the Drikk has no obvious means of sight, she's almost certain its renewed trembling is in response to her death glare. Sensing that the little monsters need a moment to recuperate, Mio tenses up and diverts power to her hard-case limbs - ignoring warning errors in her head, system too frazzled to properly handle the energy surge. The Drikk hang on as best they can, oh-so eager to plunder her body once more! And again, and again!... It is, after all, the reason for their existence! But Mio has a job to do - and the ignominy of being brought low by these glorified swarm-types has lit a fire of furious emotion within her. The Android trembles once more, but this time it's of her own power and intention - legs attempting to unbend, arms attempting to flex free. A worrisome creaking fills the air... a combination of her alloy limb casings, and that of the clawed 'fingers' of the Drikk, hanging onto their prize for dear life. Unfortunately for the Drikk, Mio's will wins out. Her leg is the first to break free, and the cowed Drikk hobbles with aching claws as it springs free of her limb, skittering wildly across the ground, circling her and looking for an angle to leap back into the fray. Mio rolls and lets out a muffled roar: the Drikk decide that they've pushed their luck as far as it can go. They release her in unspoken unison, much to Mio's surprise, sending the Synthetic into a roll upon her side as they leap free of her stuffed holes. Mio attempts to spring to her feet, but the sheer weight in her well-pumped stomach puts an end to that ambition - not to mention the volume with which it spills from her well-stretched holes. She grumbles as she slips back to one knee, her glower no less lethal as she watches the troublesome monsters all pile into the same crack in the floor, eager to flee her wrath. Mio grits her teeth and places a hand on her belly, feeling it calm beneath her fingers as the Drikk's shared load drools down her thighs, no doubt pooling in the plating of her armoured legs... ugh. Mio shudders and shifts forwards, fists planted on the ground, her fury finding no outlet now that the Drikk have escaped. But fury at what? At being caught? At being left in a mess? At not getting to cum?... Mio scoffs at that last possibility, even as she feels a strange stinging in her cheeks, incapable of blushing. Staggering back to her feet upon shaky legs, Mio grimaces at the state of herself... and then sets about cleaning off as best she can. All the while, she keeps a wary eye on the shadows and cracks, knowing that the virile little studs - or their kin - will no doubt be back.

The freakish little monsters move with eerie coordination as they circle the faltering synthetic, tearing her attention apart into unevenly divided priorities. One skitters out of sight down into a damaged floor panel, only to pop right back up out of another - ah, but another just leapt up onto the ceiling, just out of her field of vision! Can't let it drop do-- -CLANK- behind her! Mio spins with a scowl, only to find that the Drikk responsible seems to have intentionally knocked over a precariously balanced tool, no doubt abandoned when this infestation spread like wildfire, the monster having already ducked into cover beneath the floor. Mio turns once more with the first two still on her mind, only to be met with a fourth sailing through the air in a mighty, unbalanced leap. -Sclllrch!- "MMMRPH!!--" -Clang- and -clatter-! It was too fast for her to react in time, her hands latching upon the lumpy, misshapen body of the monster now latched firmly to her face, its four blunted claws shifting and disjointing as needed to achieve the best possible grip on her haircut-styled helmet. The muffled noise isn't from the fleshy underside of the bizarre creature being mashed up against her face, unfortunately for the metal heroine - it's more from the disproportionate phallus firmly wedged past her lips, speared right into her mouth with uncanny accuracy by the monster. A single flailing tentacle affixed to the top 'shell' of its simple body writhing to a steady calm now that its job of stabilizing flight is concluded, now reaching down to coil around the Android's slender neck... cuffing her wrists to it, further immobilizing it to the aid of its brothers! Mio reacts with a frustrated growl, her plated fingers sinking into the imp's squishy body - too squishy, in fact! She isn't hurting the simple biological sex toy in the slightest as it nestles against her face, letting out a little chirp of satisfaction at the way her bulging throat convulses so delightfully around its obscene length, each overstimulating lump and bulbous swell outlined perfectly through her quivering neck. Blinded by the hide of the thing stuck to her face, Mio can only get a rough idea of the movement of the rest of the swarm from her aural sensors and limited scanning capabilities... and then, rather suddenly, by touch. She stumbles as one leaps onto the small of her back, latching onto her hips - the monster's spindly claws and joints stretched to their limits to get a proper grip on her assets, its single tentacle coiling around her waist like a climber's safety rope. More pressing than these details for Mio, however, is the throbbing, pulsating prick of hole-reshaping girth slapping against her rear, limited prehensile capabilities put to the test in an effort to find her currently shielded rear entrance. With a muted and humid -whump!- the third of the Drikks decides to flank the one on her behind, membrane-linked claws almost entwining with the other as it latches securely onto the front of her hips, their combined, misshapen bulks resembling some truly unfortunate underwear for the beleaguered synthetic. Turning on the spot with her legs partially clamped together and her arms well and truly stuck, it takes everything she has not to fall over, panic giving way to good sense as she ponders how best to wriggle her way free of this perverse situation!... preferably before the equally massive prick now bashing against the sleek plating of her inner thighs finds its way through her <<= $Player_outfit_bottom>>, a quest aided by the Drikk's tail-like tentacle rooting around at the band of it to slip inside! Beneath her mask of meat, Mio winces as the shaft lodged down her throat begins to stir, its occupier evidently tiring of the novelty of merely staying inside her throat instead of fucking it. Though repulsed by the idea, it's a logical action to buy herself some more time. Mio swallows, shivering at the delighted squeal the little monster gives off, feeling it relax in its grip somewhat. Good! It thinks she's cooperating. Let it relax further... and then, she can pull it off when it's least expecting it! Her arms tense for this daring move, internal mechanisms winding and coiling back in preparation. She blinks as she feels the humid underside of the Drikk beginning to recede across her face, briefly blinded by the light beyond before apertures rachet back into place, her gaze pivoting downwards with a glare tinged with confusion. Realization sets in - of course. This monster doesn't understand that she doesn't need to breathe... it's freeing her airways, at least to some degree. It's not malicious, after all. Just... extremely one-track-minded. With her nose free, the Drikk now resembles some kind of biomechanical respirator, the four lumps that comprise its central body swelling somewhat as it hands off of her jawline. Frowning at the mental image, Mio prepares to push it up and out of her throat, fingers gripping tightly-- Drikk number four emerges from hiding and leaps at her chest, tightly coiling itself around her awkwardly trapped arms and forcing them to hug and squeeze her pale breasts together! Mio splutters, blinking in alarm, face still slick with alien slime as she staggers back from the surprisingly heavy impact. Acting in shocking unity, the two snugly clinging to her hips unleash their tentacles to wrap around her legs, pulling in opposite directions as she staggers. It's too much - Mio shuts her eyes tight and braces for impact as she slips and falls onto her side, but the impact never comes! Opening one eye before the other, she blinks with a muffled noise of surprise when she sees each of the Drikks - save for the one coiling her wrists to her neck - has used their surprisingly powerful tails to catch her before she could hit the ground, now lowering her gently onto her front. It... would almost be gentlemanly, if they didn't immediately resume pulling and yanking at her $Player_outfit to free her tight, synthetic holes! Not that Drikk number four needs such things. Retracting its tentacle into its body for a moment, it emerges once more coated in a thick, clear slime, Mio only just able to catch glimpses of it past the one around her face. Squirming in her awkward position on the ground, legs scrambling to try and stand back up, she finds that effort thwarted as the one riding her backside suddenly grips her right ankle tightly and yanks it bent inwards, tying it to her thigh. She groans in frustration, then in disgust as that slippery tentacle dives down her $Player_outfit_top and between her well-squashed tits, slipping back and forth in lewd imitation of the monster's future intentions. It doesn't take much lubing for it to be satisfied - with her chest so tightly compacted by her own arms and the floor below, Mio can only shudder as the Drikk repositions itself... slamming its grotesque girth down the path its tentacle just took, straight into the snug, wet and warm tunnel it's created, titfucking the trapped 'bot with immediate speed and force. Every thrust sees its full weight crashing back and forth, bulbous, partially segmented body jiggling in all the wrong ways as the air fills with alien chirps and gooey, slick noises, the blunted head of the Drikk's throbbing length slipping through the welcoming embrace of her trapped tears and bashing against Mio's taut stomach, slathering it with slime of a different kind. Mio winces as the monster latched to her hips from the front finally works out how to pull down her <<= $Player_outfit_bottom>>. Suddenly, that trim tum isn't nearly so neat - not bulged around the well-lubed lengths that plunge into her synthetic body with the united, equal timing of an Olympic-level synchronized sports team. Mio rocks forward with a splutter, eyes crossing slightly as the hole-stretching lengths immediately pull back out of her backdoor and slit, the Drikk's bodies stretching upwards like elastic piledrivers!... before they slam back inside, even deeper this time, reangling with each pounding thrust to strike at different sensitive spots within her body. Each harmoniously timed thrust earns a graceless and guttural muffled 'glurk' from the poor 'droid, protests and pleasured gasps reduced to heady, vibrating nonsense around the face-hugging Drikk's still-buried length, still at ease just occupying her throat. But, now that she's fully subdued... Mio watches with wincing eyes as the four-bulbed body begins to stretch, feels it vacating her gullet an inch at a time!... "Grouughk!!--" she gags as it slams back inside, smacking wetly against the lower half of her face, nose pressed tightly up against the bulging lumps of its body. The chemical analysis of the potent chemical mixture stemming from the monster's body suddenly puts the pieces together for her... each lump is, in fact, densely packed with monsterspunk. This little bastard really is nothing more than a walking cock and balls, one audibly delighted to be finally plundering her tight sleeve of a throat as it begins to match the pace of its brothers. Mio gags and groans and writhes, her other leg bound to match the right - ankle to thigh. Her limited hogtying complete, Mio can do nothing but lie there and take the pounding of her life from such unlikely little monsters, every ounce of their limited processing power devoted to hunting for exciting new angles to spear her at to entice more of her quivering and clenching and cock-milking tightness! They're simply relentless, and relentlessly simple - biological fuckmachines created to fulfil this very purpose and nothing else, explaining their surprisingly effective technique, their seemingly endless stamina, and the constant waft of potency assaulting Mio's nose. Despite their small size, each one is a dense little fucker, heavy enough to send shocks through her body with each hard, slamming impact - to make her rear cheeks wobble in waves with each crash of its meaty body upon her raised backside, to send shivers down the delicate mechanisms of her mechanical legs, to make her aural sensor spires bounce and tremble upon the usually secure mount-points either side of her head. Gurgling and spluttering around the one fucking her throat, Mio is almost glad for its presence; otherwise, the noises escaping her would be truly shameful... or, shameless, depending on one's perspective. Laid low by the lowest, and incapable of resisting what they have to offer in spades. It's pounding at its finest, at its harshest - but not beyond what the durable synthetic soldier can handle physically... but right along the tightrope line of what she can handle mentally in this accursed replacement body. Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned here, through the haze of her all-holes-pounding? Through the brief windows of opportunity to form thoughts and calculations before progress is interrupted and HUD-elements flash and burn from the sensory overload of the lower two Drikk's freakish members grinding against one another's heft through the thin barriers of her gynoid body. The body. She keeps cursing it, but look at these little bastards. Limited artificial intelligence, put behind the controls of one of the Galaxy's lowest, most repugnant lifeforms... and here they are, keeping her fully restrained and plundering every sensible orifice she has to offer, and making their fun elsewhere if needs must -- she winces as she feels a glut of thick, sticky pre splash against her stomach from the tit-addicted Drikk humping away at her bosom, glowering past the one grinding her lips in response to the pleased chirping noise it emits. Suddenly, her handicap doesn't seem quite so severe... though as a spike of pleasure briefly sends a glowing flare through her crossing eyes, she fails to figure out a way of using it to her advantage. No, the ball is thoroughly in their court, to enjoy her to their heart's content - if they even have hearts. With the wet, humid smacks of their misshapen bodies against her own, impact zones increasingly slathered with the slime they excrete, Mio theorizes that they're little more than sacks of seed, the means to mobilize it, and the means to expel it. The claws of the monster around her jaw tighten and clench as she muses through spikes of overloading stimulation, tearing her attention away from herself, eyes crossing down cutely to focus on the bastard humping her throat like a cheap toy. One of the four sacs that comprise its body is visibly swollen in comparison to the other three, not to mention trembling at intervals incongruent with the savage plap-plap-plap pace of its elastic thrusting. Spluttering around the lip-tautening length, Mio realizes the hole in her theory. Yes, nothing more than sacs of seed - but smarter than that! Like a revolver mechanism, it intends on unloading one load at a time into her stimulating sleeve of a gullet... no doubt giving it time to recharge! She winces and squirms, earning a tighter hold from every one of the little mutants as their perfect shared pace begins to falter in the face of rushing, approaching peaks, compensating for the ruined rhythm with an increasing, desperate level of pounding force. The weighty, salacious impacts of mutated flesh upon synthetic perfection vie to be heard above Mio's bewildered, muffled cries of roughshod pleasure... and the growing, low rumble of each monstrosity's abundant, imminent climax. And they aren't the only ones... Lost 20 Focus! <<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp($Player_focus - 20, 0, $Player_focus_max)>><</if>> It arrives without a hint of grace. Their rampaging thrusts suddenly cease, each buried to the very hilt, bodies mashed against her own and twitching in uneven spasms, claws wrapped around her with iron grips. There's a brief calm where nothing happens - and despite herself, Mio almost laments the sudden loss of lewd sensation! But then that swollen segment of the body of the Drikk upon her face clenches downwards, compressing in size!-- Mio gags luridly as she feels its buried prick swell from the sheer volume of seed rushing through it, dumped into her artificial stomach with a force she insensibly equates to that of a shotgun blast. Given that it's joined by two loads of equal volume and absurd thickness in her lower holes - not to mention one sprayed with reckless abandon across her belly! - she can be forgiven for the somewhat overdramatic appraisal of her captor's potency. The entire chamber's worth of sizzling-hot spunk, dumped into her body in a single rush!... Mio's eyes flutter as her bound body trembles, sensors overloaded with the sudden burden of her rounded, cum-splattered belly.

[Focus fail...] Mio needs a moment... a moment too far!<<if $fantasize is 0>><<set $Player_class to "Sextoy for Sextoys">><</if>> The sheer weight of monstrous seed piled heavy in her belly causes the Android to stiffen, her sensors blaring too loudly across her mind. Frankly, she doesn't need their input to know that something is amiss... but that doesn't shut them up. She just needs to move before these things are finished gearing up for round two-- just as soon as she's recuperated herself! Just a second or two more, just... just!-- "-Mouuurgh!?" Mio groans gutturally, a noise forced out of her as the pressure in her plugged holes lessens considerably, each Drikk pulling out with stiff but steady deliberation. Her bright eyes go from unfocused haze to a sharp, almost comedic cross inwards to stare in futility as the spit-shined shaft of the brutish little thing upon her face draws back in unison with its brothers. Her brows knit inwards as her lips are tugged slightly, the swollen head of that single-minded prick lodged behind them... with no desire to retreat in full. Surely they can't already have recovered!-- "GLOuuuUURK--" Mio chokes, her crossed eyes scrunching shut as she's thricely impaled once again. The collective Drikk know her limits, know her durability - and know that they can fuck her at their full force without a care in the world, right from the get-go. Mio's fingers splay, clench into fists, tremble - there's little else they can do as the monster's squishy bodies slam against her far firmer form, again and again, the air ringing out with heavy, humid slaps and plaps of flesh upon flesh, synthetic or otherwise. The formerly well-defined bulges in her once-taut stomach now find themselves padded out of focus by the thick spunk trapped within her - the first loads of many. No!... the first of two! Just two! The next time they pop, Mio will be ready for it! She definitely won't be cumming her fucking brains out like a wanton, needy slut! Her useless fingers settle on clenching into tight, focused fists as her frown returns - formerly a look of sheer bewilderment. She'll withstand it, this time!... even as those rapid -smak- -slap- -whap- percussion beats are joined by her lurid, overwhelmed whines and the gurgling, chittering chirps of her captors... <<linkreplace "Connection lost with M10. Projecting likely situation...">>-------- "Mmouuussshk-- Mmmmouuuulk~- Schlmmmck!~-" Sequestered away beneath the lustful carnage of the facility above, Mio finds herself in a cell all of her own. Flanked by pipes, locked in by resin, painted by the faint light of a maintenance lamp as filtered through a metal grate, the shadows crisscrossed upon her well-bred, excessively coated body. In this cramped alcove, the beleaguered Android finds herself kneeling in unwitting reverence, her wrists shackled by dull-green resin to a shelf in the vent before her, her lower legs all but encased in the stuff from the knees down. It's a space charitably described as 'cozy' - just enough room for Mio, her rounded belly, and the awful little monsters still fucking her relentlessly... one latched to her face - same as ever - one hanging on to her well-bred stomach for dear life as it spears up into her slit, and the remaining two fighting for dominance over her ass: both of them pistoning that sturdy rear hole in an uneasy rhythm, one in, one out. What little space remains belongs to roughly fifty squishy, sagging violet-hued eggs, providing soft illumination in every direction, glued to the floor, the walls... even the ceiling. "MRRRRYYYPHK!~" -- Make that roughly fifty plus an imminent three more. It's difficult to count the exact number at this point: it's a task beyond even Mio, the simple subroutine she devoted to the task having failed along with the rest of her logic-handling capabilities. It flicks from '101' to '13' and then up to '2037', reflected in a debugging scroll flashing through her unevenly-lidded, harshly-crossed eyes. Even these incorrect figures begin to glitch, cycle and distort when her latest avalanche of an orgasm is triggered, brought to a head by chemicals released by incubated eggs!... and the frantic fucking of her cunt by the Drikk eager to finish before it's forced out, even if only for a moment. Pressure rises and falls in her taut stomach thanks to those hammering thrusts from below, but the pattern is a steady rise, begging for release. Not that Mio is in any position to do anything about it - the Drikk may be mere sex toys, but she's the one stuck playing the part of a mere love doll. All she can do is whine around the shaft plugging her lips tightly as the Drikk's body harshly seizes up around her sides, squashing against her belly and adding to that awful pressure from without!... and within, unleashing another of those harsh, oversized loads inside of her before it's forced to pull out with haste. Mio's eyes flash brightly and turn blank, nothing but bright pink light as her body twitches and her spunk-drooling netherlips part. They begin to flicker back into proper function - minus that debugging scrawl - right as the flow of seed ceases, blocked by another squishy egg softly glowing between her folds, briefly stuck in place before the next one shoves it out of the way... letting it land with a sticky -slap- against the ground, rolling for a moment before it joins the clustered mass of gestating Drikk upon the walls. All the while, the diminutive bastards continue to fuck her - minus the proud father of this batch, impatiently humping its absurd rod against her right thigh, almost lodging itself into one of the gaps in the armour plating of her hardcase leg. It won't have long to wait - the eggs always come in batches of two to four, and number two is cresting that hill now! Twitch, shudder!... "NNNmPH--" Sploot! Mio's hips jerk as her brutal climax rolls across her in aftershocks, her eyes flitting between function and failure. It seems there's only one more fist-sized egg to go, judging by the relaxed curve of her belly... but the best has been saved for last. Her face scrunches cutely - minus that persistent facefucking - as she writhes on the spot in her limited manner, her slit briefly blessed with that gentle glow!... and then it slips back inside, again, and again, too big to slip out as easily as its kin. Whether by intention or lust, the Drikk pair fighting for dominance over her ass work to provide a solution. Their rhythm - one in, one out, established out of necessity rather than fair play - finally breaks down. Achieving their piledriver-like climaxes in unison, both Drikk slam inside at once - stretching Mio to her absolute limit, sending her eyes flying wide open and blank-pink in cascading errors once more!... and causing her body to quake wildly, ejecting that particularly large egg with enough force that it sticks upon the wall opposite, sagging heavily under its own weight, a shadow within the translucent sac swirling before it settles and becomes still. Such stillness is a stark contrast against the poor Synthetic - the absence of that oversized egg is easily offset by the latest double-dose of Drikk jizz lodged deep inside her body, which already rocks with the savage humping of each monster as it casually resumes her debasement - bodies once again impacting with sodden slaps against her own... even the one slung below, already eagerly nestling itself back inside her slit. Damn!... it would seem that she's missed her window of opportunity for escape once more. Oh well...

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Glob - the 'sexual slop' Monster.</div> A wobbling mass of ooze - in this case, purple - with no distinguishable features aside from the marble-patterned obsidian spherical core which surges through its mass to direct its intelligence and movement. Unlike many TentaCan™ products, the core here is obviously artificial... but the goo is authentic. Thick wisps of purple smog rise up from the lumbering blob's body and an intense heat radiates from it, hazing the air around itself. The air is filled with an eye-wateringly sweet odour... -------------- Tentacan™ Globs™ - Now in Grape flavour! This fan-favourite of the Tentacan™ line has been revitalized with an all-new recipe and a 20% extended lifespan, roughly 2 hours! You're gunna wanna take your clothes off before this one, folks; a specially-designed acid formula will soon take care of them if you don't! Pre-programmed with a variety of potential positions that make the most of its amorphous body, the Glob™ lives for one purpose; to make you its little slime-soaked princess. ♥ Directions for use: shake the Can well and carefully pull back the ringpull, aiming away from the face. Recommended for use in hard-surface environments, such as bathrooms! NOT for use inside occupied EVA Spacesuits! Non-toxic.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Shambler - the 'classic flavour' Monster.</div> A conjoined bundle of tentacles with a poorly defined central 'body', coming in a range of exciting colours - purple, lavender, lilac, violet, etc. Shamblers are defined by their clumsy motor control, making them poor hunters but rough and energetic lovers, any potential complications this causes are thwarted by the generation of copious lubrication. With enough force, it's easy to pull individual tentacles from the mass, whereupon they can act independently. It has a strange curiosity to it, blind tentacles often tilting their 'heads' as if staring at things and people of interest. It's like it's staring right into her soul... -------------- Our classic recipe, still as good as it gets! Carefully constructed from only the finest individual mono-tentacled stock, Tentacan™ Shamblers™ are always happy to see you: and even happier to tangle you up and reduce you to a well-shagged, slippery mess. ♥ Directions for use: tap the top of the can twice and pull the ring tab. Place it on the ground within 10 seconds, and do not stand over the unit while it emerges. For additional intensity, try using two cans at once and watch them fuse! Do NOT use three or more cans at once. By reading this, you waive our legal responsibility for compensation relating to any mind-break rehabilitation programs or medication.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Serenity Veil - the 'thought destroyer' Monster.</div> A bizarre creature that must be magical in nature, for nothing about its flimsy body suggests that it should be as it does. Certainly, there's no visible propulsion to explain the way it eerily floats in place, the ragged, edge-frayed black cloak around its body occasionally caught and flicked by a breeze that does not exist. Closer inspection reveals the cloak to be thicker away from those edges, the outside lined in velvet black but the inside looking far more organic, pulsing with sleek flesh riddled with thick, animated veins. From its sleeves emerge two massive, oversized claws - though when they fold just right, a second pair of slender fingers jut from the wrist, ideal for finer manipulation of its environment. By far the most inexplicable thing about the Veil would be its stark white mask: a twisted mockery of theatre, smiling with hollow, inwards-slanted eyes one moment before it turns and shifts into a snarling glare to express its displeasure at resistance. The longer Mio looks at it, the louder the droning in her head becomes... -------------- TencaCo™️ presents: MoTentavation™️! Our all-new Serenity Veil marks an exciting new branch for our product line which takes the natural 'withhold and reward' systems so popular in raunchy, naughty relationships and distils them down into self-help with a smile! Got a task you simply can't bring yourself to do? (Hey, we get it: laundry day is tough.) It's simple! Step 1: affix the mask! Step 2: there is no step 2! With the Veil in place, it'll detect everything you need to go done and set about doing just that! You simply relax, focus on your tongue skills, and before you know it - literally! - you'll be all caught up on that backlog! FROM LABS - DO NOT SEND OUT WITH PRESS RELEASE OR FINAL PROOF OF PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS - The safeword seems... a little finicky! By which we mean it doesn't work at all. We're working on a solution, but gosh, it seems our test subjects want to just keep these things on all the time! Uh, we couldn't even pry 'em off with tools! The only successful removals so far have been people who got through everything they felt they needed to get done; one guy programmed an entire game from start to finish (it's hella fun!), and another was distraught to find that she'd completed her entire backlog of model kits... and painted them.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Drikk - the "low-level lovers" Monster(s).</div> A deceptively simple organism, piloted by (and grown around) a basic artificial intelligence core in place of a brain. The Drikk are insectoid in nature, with bruise-coloured bodies and well-defined, spindly legs - four in total - counterbalanced by a long, whip-like tail with prehensile control. They would probably look quite elegant if it ended there, were it not for the uneven and misshapen sacks upon their backs - four lumps, rarely equal in size, all squashed and distended - and the barely-constrained bulge along their undercarriages. That plurality isn't a mistake: there are four of them in total, and Mio is shocked at the coordination they're pulling off together, circling her like predators far above their price tag. It's almost as if the little guys have something to prove... -------------- Tentacan™ Drikk™ may be small, but don't let that fool you: good things come in small packages, and they're eager to cum in you! Again, and again, and again!~ With their patented 'seed revolver' biomechanisms, Drikk™ are living sex toys for the budget consumer, but don't mistake 'budget' for 'ineffective!' What they lack in size, they make up for in stamina, teamwork, restraining capability and endowment. Locked and loaded for unleashing four impressive climaxes per use, take proper care of your reusable regenerative Tentacan™ and enjoy them over and over again... they'll certainly enjoy you! Directions for use: Shake can(s) vigorously and open after one minute has elapsed, but before five minutes have elapsed: otherwise the reaction is cancelled and their regenerative cycle (48 hours) kicks in. After use and Drikk regression into a recuperative orb, gently but firmly place back inside can and reseal, leaving in a warm, dry place. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you start with one Drikk, and work your way upwards from there until you find your limits! Be aware that prolonged and over-regular uses may result in an unexpected expansion of regenerative capabilities and possessive behaviours.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Gulper - the 'customer consumer' Monster.</div> A large, snake-like Monster of a floral nature. Thick, green hide shifts different verdant shades as it undulates, hanging from the ceiling by thick roots burrowed right through the plastform tiles. It's little more than a hollow tube, and despite the thickness of its skin, if the light from outside hits it just right Mio can peer through and see the writhing tentacles within. Small flowers bloom at random across the length of its stretchy body. Its maw comprises of a thick ring of muscle, flanked by thick white fangs - menacing at first sight, but blunted and oddly soft, more useful for shovelling things into its mouth than to bite or pierce. Motes of pollen drift through the moonbeams from the window. -------------- The TentaCan™️ Gulper™️ may strike you as a more niche product, but it's one of our top sellers! A carefully gene-modified strain of the Filakria Cavern Lamprey-Vine, the Gulper has been designed to be forever locked into an all-year-long breeding cycle, recognizing anything it consumes as a potential breeding partner.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Mimi - the Pretender to the Throne.</div> Mimi would be a refreshing splash of coral in the sea of purple up until this point, were she not presently trying to throttle Mio. Currently halfway between what appears to be her preferred form and her disguise, her skin is a pale coral-shade of orange, neatly complimenting the bright yellow of her eyes: all three of them, if you include the third one hidden just beneath her fringe in the center of her forehead. Her wild, frizzy ginger hair gives way to the right-hand side to a few slicked-back tentacles that drape down either side of her shoulder, which in turn leads to an arm unravelled like a cat-o-nine-tails into writhing tentacles. Indeed, her left side is relatively elven still - her coat clings keenly to this side whereas it shrugs limply from her right, and her footing looks more secure upon that left leg. Her clean lab uniform - which sticks out as unusual given the state of this facility - is evidently an extension of her shapeshifting abilities, as it peels open down the right sleeve and trouser leg, whereas her boot on that side looks more akin to an insectoid, crescent moon-shaped claw. The only trace of metal upon her is her lopsided spectacles and braces, which become undetailed studs down to the right side of her mouth. She pouts at Mio, looking less angry and more confused. -------------- I know that I should have reported what happened when Mimi hatched, the awareness shining through those eyes. I knew she would be fine: TentaCo aren't exactly bastions of moral decency, but they wouldn't cover up something like Mimi. This has happened before - my word, it's basically an inevitability when dealing with bioengineering. She would be taken in. She would be cared for. She would be raised, and educated, and guided... far better than I've been able to. ... But on that day, when she looked up at me, half-hiding behind the shell fragments of her egg, I... I saw my little Staveera all over again, and... I thought perhaps this time, I could do things right. Over two hundred years to my name, and I'm still no wiser than I was back then. Oh, Mimi. It isn't your fault. It's mine. -- Head Researcher, Fayeth Twistbark.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>The Travesty - the 'usurper slurper' Monster.</div> The biggest creature Mio's ever seen, welded from the waist-up to the SLED like some sort of tumour. The pale-coral brute has the form of a titanic man: a sculpted, broad chest, even broader shoulders, imposingly powerful arms rippling with glowing veins, and a strangely domed head. It possesses a single, massive eye that glows with malicious lusts, a shark-like maw with rows of teeth, and a swept-back horn that offers a strange aspect of sleekness to its otherwise bulky silhouette, with similarly swept horn growths jutting back from the titan's shoulders. Tentacles rush down from the misshapen mass where it fuses to the metal of the SLED craft, spilling out over the launching mechanism, pulling it apart to overcharge and prepare it for launch. At the heart of its chest lies a crystal-like window, akin to a massive slab of amber: a prison for those trapped within it, their forms shadowed by the faceted angles, writhing and jerking with his manipulations. The way he glares down at Mio reminds her so much of Ziajol that it hurts. -------------- -- Who the hell pulled up the files on FF-0x? That project's a dead end for more reasons than I can count. The CEO made the final decision to cancel those military projects, and it's not like we can repurpose this strain for anything else: It's way too aggressive, grows like the damn plague, and none of our control methods are reliable against it. This thing almost destroyed the Gamma facility when it was just in its larval form. Now one of you eggheads is poking around in the black files? I want names, and if none of you come forward, I'll find out who my way. -- Security Chief Jasuro.

Mio grimaces as she's forced to scale the hive like a climbing wall, metal hands sinking into the softer portions of purple flesh in order to give her the grips she needs to ascend. Slowly but surely - and batting off more than a few inquisitive tentacles in the process - she reaches the twirling keycard and grabs it!... only to find that it's been chewed in half, rendering it useless. And that's only the second-worst part. <div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>@@.WarningIntro;WARNING! ENEMY APPROACHING!@@</div> The boulder-like growth upon which she stands suddenly shudders, causing Mio to wobble and swing her arms out to try and remain standing! It's no use - the 'ground' beneath her feet suddenly collapses into a slope, forcing her to slide into the infestation-filled chamber to the east! She lands in a roll and springs back to her feet, the noises of lust around her deafening as she beholds something gray, lumpy and animated set in the meat-wall before her. She watches as it rises, two distinct creases appearing on either side of it... arms! It's not just a lump - it's a walking lump. A big one, at that!... Mio takes a step back, wincing as her back collides with the reformed 'boulder' behind her as the Monster lumbers fully to its feet and turns around with shallow, swaying steps, standing with a lurching gait. It's a huge brute, with sunken yellow eyes upon a neckless head that domes down towards broad shoulders, thick, trunk-like arms that flank a barrel-shaped body, all mounted upon squat, powerful legs. It stares blankly at her for a moment, during which Mio can't help but notice the XXL prick that sways between its legs in tune with a slow and pondering heartbeat, slick with recent and extensive use. Glancing down between the Monster's legs, Mio sees the culprit: a pale, shapely Elven woman was pinned beneath it, her legs spread wide, her ruined lab coat all that lies between her and the hive beneath and around her in that cramped little divot. Judging by that pose, the myriad stains across her body, and the... enthusiastic expression on her face, she's been stuck here for a while. But this brute clearly believes it deserves more than one playmate - more than the roughly dozen Mio counted outside, doubled again within this stifling, boiling antechamber, scientists and security alike firmly entrenched in the walls, the floor, even the ceiling... muffled moans, breathless panting, shivering sighs. The Monsters inspection of Mio complete, her gaze is briefly drawn back up to a mighty throb of approval from that heaving shaft! She lets out a disapproving gasp, grimacing up at the Monster as it leers back down at her, spreading its arms into a wrestler's stance, an alien intelligence burning in those pinprick eyes as the Elf it was just mating-pressing dimly blinks past it to gaze in awe at Mio.

There's no dramatic howl of despair, no roar of anger!... instead, it simply stops in its tracks, shoulders slumped, staring directly at Mio with its ever-present, lopsided smile. Its sickly moon-yellow eyes suddenly flicker and glimmer like lightbulbs on the verge of failure, then!... out they go, completely dimmed, two small black pits upon the top of its head. For a moment, silence and stillness, even among the captives embedded in the hive-flesh around them, as though the entire facility were holding its breath. Then the FUM teeters on its feet, tilting forwards into an uncontrolled fall, body strangely rigid as it flops onto its face. With a humid WHULP upon the ground, that rigidity immediately fails, the FUM flattening like undercooked dough. Mio blinks with a grimace as the chirps and moans around her gradually pick back up in volume. Victory!

Satisfied that she's safe to be around - and trying to drown out the chorus of noises all around her, some of which sound disappointed! - she steps towards the Elven woman, still lying in that divot of flesh left in the brute's absence, and offers her a still-warm hand. "Can you stand?" she asks, the Elf still regarding her with something of a far-away dreamy look. Mio... isn't sure if that's a good thing. After a concerning delay, however, she blinks and seems to snap to lucidity. She reaches for one of her pointed ears - upon the top edge of which lies a strange device - and runs a finger across it, suddenly looking even more 'with it'. She weakly takes Mio's hand. "Gosh! Good question, actually... I certainly hope so. Let's... find out!--" she gasps, pulled to her feet by Mio!... only to collapse against her upon bowed legs, causing the Android to splutter slightly when she gets a face-full of the gorgeous woman's sizeable chest for her trouble. A fussing little fit of apologies spills from the Elf as a result, placing her hands on Mio's shoulders to push herself into a straighter position. "Oh my gosh! So, SO sorry - I can't really feel my legs right now." she explains, her accent sounding as though it belongs on a sunny beach, her vocabulary somewhat at odds with the intelligence clearly burning in her eyes: and emblazoned upon what's left of her uniform, her coat fancier than the others Mio's seen so far. Especially that keycard peeking from her pocket, which isn't chewed to buggery! Mio, having swiftly recovered from her impromptu motorboating, shakes her head with her best reassuring smile. "It's fine. I'm surprised you can stand at all." she remarks, trying very hard not to concentrate on the assorted fluids that just got smeared on her from that skinship. "Let's continue this conversation somewhere a little less stifling?" she suggests, earning an enthusiastic nod from the Researcher. It takes a while, but with some effort, Mio helps to guide the woman and her shaky legs up over the mound of meat and back into the Development chamber proper, where - comparatively - they can breathe a little easier. <<if $Scene_FUM_Defeat isnot 1>> <<set $Scene_FUM_Defeat to 1>> (Scene 'FUM Capture' unlocked in the Fantasize gallery!) <<set $scenes_monsters to $scenes_monsters + 1>> <</if>> <<set $Encounter_Mercy to 0>> <<set $level_cap_level to 7>> <<link "Continue" $Prior_Location>><<set $player_icon_right to 60>> <<set $player_icon_top to 141>> <<set $player_icon_style to "position:absolute; right:" + $player_icon_right + "px; top:" + $player_icon_top + "px; z-index:51;">><<include "Combat Deactivate Combat Mode">><</link>> <</linkreplace>> <<elseif $Player_hp lte 0 or $Player_focus lte 0 or $Player_surrender is 1>> <<set $Player_alive to 0>> <<include "FUM Content Check">> <<elseif $Player_alive is 1 and $Enemy_alive is 1>> <<if $Player_turn is 0>> <<include "Combat FUM Attacks">> <<elseif $Player_turn is 1>> <<include "Combat Player Status Effects Start Turn">> <</if>> <</if>> <>

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>FUM - the 'Fuck Freak' Monster.</div> Easily dwarfing Mio in height and bulk, the FUM is built like an escape pod that sprouted legs, arms and a neckless head, possessing a dome-shaped skull that slopes down to its shoulders. Equipped with thick, amphibious hide akin to an arctic sea creature, it conversely radiates substantial heat - enough to make it steam even in the humid hive environment. Its legs terminate in stubby feet more akin to hooves, and it possesses misshapen three-fingered hands with an extra joint in the two non-thumb digits. Its facial features are lacking: two small, recessed moon-yellow eyes punctured widely upon its head lie above a jaw-to-jaw splitting maw, often curled into a cruel, lecherous smirk. The brute is entirely nude, proudly carrying a monstrous prick no doubt hand-designed by TentaCo's finest perverts to be a weapon of sexual mass destruction, right down to every ridge and swollen vein. Mio feels even smaller than she already is by comparison thanks to the way it constantly sneers down at her... -------------- Something wicked this way comes! Here at TentaCo™, we don't judge. If a brutish physique, a possessive grasp, a cunning mind and a tastefully designed layer of revulsion does it for you: you're not alone! While legally and morally we can't share our exact sales figures for the big guy, we -can- tell you that he's one of our most popular products... and his ability to fuck like a machine and keep a tight hold of the leash is a big part of why! (PleaseNoteThatTentacleCollarAndLeashSoldSeparately). To activate your FUM, first clear a (preferably water-tight) room to be used for activities. Also, clear roughly a weekend's worth of space in your calendar. Remove the lid, locate the sealed hydration formula, and open and empty it into the central core of the TentaCan TentaTub. Reseal the lid tightly, and stand back! PLEASE NOTE: Your FUM's lifespan can be prolonged via feeding it, but we strongly recommend against doing so, lest it learns your weaknesses in detail. We neither take responsibility for your higher brain functions nor for your budget. ADDITIONAL: Not recommended for the Magically Sensitive.

Unfurling one arm from around her torso, he carelessly brings an oversized hand around her head - doughy fingers filling into the grooves of her sculpted 'hair' - and hoists her aloft before him. Mio can barely meet the brute's gaze. Not with her hips twitching mindlessly, her limbs quivering, and her biomechanicals utterly riddled with aphrodisiac toxin warnings, that drool clinging thick and firm to her doll-like features. Akin to a prizefighter assured of his victory, the FUM suddenly drops Mio onto her feet, tauntingly pointing to his neckless head with a leer, inviting her to punch him. Enraged even through her malfunctionings, the barely-standing Mio attempts to do just that!-- Only for her metal fist to ring out a hollow little slap upon impact with his cheek from the feeble force behind it.

The FUM grins down at her all the same, suddenly tightening its grip around her body, reminding her of how small she is by comparison... a thought soon obliterated by a new and more pressing concern: a massive weight shoved between her leg, burning with heat through her <<= $Player_outfit_bottom>>! $Player_alias takes $Enemy_dice damage! <<elseif $Grapple_Stage is 2>> <<set $Grapple_Stage to $Grapple_Stage + 1>> Without warning, the FUM thrusts forwards, mashing Mio tightly against its body, riding her along the top of its obscene prick.

It certainly seems that the FUM weighs the benefits above the downsides, given the way its heavy club of a cock throbs violently against Mio's sex, the brute chuckling in its strange, echoing baritone before giving the huffing, squirming Android's face another good coating of tingling drool. $Player_alias takes $Enemy_dice damage! <<elseif $Grapple_Stage is 3>> <<set $Grapple_Stage to $Grapple_Stage + 1>> Mio feels the internal structure of her torso creak.

She can feel it leaping and jerking behind her, riding up against and between her ass!... Mio splutters as the FUM suddenly tries to jam its tongue into her mouth, her pursed lips tested to their very limits as the monster unleashes a torrent of seed! Each rope is accompanied by a heavy leap of its shaft against her body, pushing harshly against her pussy, her pinned body left with no room to move.

Rolling it back, she roars out as she slugs the FUM square in the face, landing with a hop upon her feet when it releases her and staggers backwards in shock! The impact leaves an ugly indentation in its already ugly, swollen face, akin to punching dough. Reaching up, it massages its cheek back into 'proper' shape, its grin returning in a mixture of respect and anticipation. After all, Mio's given it motivation, now... <<else>> Twisting sharply from side to side, Mio keeps the FUM frustrated and guessing as it struggles to keep hold of her. Turning to her right, Mio suddenly straightens back out: the effect is akin to slipping free of bonds around the wrist, except applied to her whole body! The FUM growls as its arms -whump- against its own body, hugging itself for a moment in the absence of its Android cuddle-partner. Mio, who landed neatly on her feet, jets backwards across the ground upon the thrusters in the soles of her armoured boots, skidding to a halt out of arm's reach, grimacing at the slime still coating her body.

Mio stiffens at the sharp noise, for it cuts through the ambient hiss and rumble of the maintenance chamber like a knife. It's unmistakable what it was: a heel upon metal flooring. -Clack, --clack-, -clack-... drawing closer on slow, deliberate footsteps, easily traced back the way she came: the only exit. Taking a moment to collect herself, Mio's face is hard as stone as she sets her gaze around the corner, exhaustion showing in her eyes even through their artificial glow. What she sees surprises her: it's shaped like a lady, and it's wearing a tattered lab coat... could it be the girl from earlier, who sealed the checkpoint? No, no-- another elf, but with pale blue skin, silver hair... and... something throbbing on her face. Mio steps back with a grimace as the meaty 'blindfold' around the Drow's face opens its massive, single eye to stare daggers into the Android. The eye is fiercely yellow with a purple border, whereas the flesh that knits down from the top of her head down to her neck and back is a dark, bruised blue. The woman it's attached to slumps slightly where she stands, her shoulders slack, her legs crooked: that lab coat that hangs off of her body is all she wears, save for a pair of once-well-kept shiny black boots with sharp, long heels. Her frame brings the word 'athletic' to mind: moderate curves enhanced with impressive tone down her arms and legs. With a hollow gasp, she suddenly stands straight and raises her arms, revealing her hands to be clad with black claws and her back to be armed with a swarm of tentacles.

Mio slips into the vent head-first, having to twist down into a dip and U-turn before she's able to push up into a crouching stance. It's cramped, loud, and lit only by emergency red lamps... but it looks clean of infestation. Satisfied, she begins to advance forwards, ignoring the shutters either side of her, doggedly moving south. As she clambers through the maintenance ducts, Mio wears a harsh frown. That's nothing unusual, but... something just feels wrong. She stops now and then to slowly scan the area in front of her: dim, dank, but seemingly clean. Nothing shows up on her sensors... and so, she does her best to ignore that uneasy feeling, pulling herself out of her crawling crouch and into a somewhat large annex between ducts. It's a relief to stand up again: a relief which is swiftly shattered. <div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>@@.WarningIntro;WARNING!

Mio blinks in confusion, her eyes whirring as she zooms in onto the lattice grid of shiny, silken threads that now block her exit, each linked to a tiny purple organic node seemingly placed with care along the lip of the vent hatch. It's a trap, but by what?-- "Wuh!--" Mio gasps, feeling herself rising up off the ground! She leaps forwards, landing in a crouch in this narrow space and turning with a sliding kick of one leg. She watches in shock as the floor where she stood moments ago continues to rise and warp, turning a shimmering purple-blue as some kind of alien menace abandons its hybernetic disguise! The shapeless blob rears back, revealing an even more colourful scene beneath its hide-like 'shell', pulsating with little nubby tentacles and rippling, sea-like folds. The aquatic monster easily dwarfs Mio in size, making this chamber more cramped still: and that's before it begins to slime its way towards her, the vent hatch behind her letting loose an unfortunately familiar schllrk as a second set of those silk-spewing nodes traps her within!

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>@@.WarningIntro;WARNING! ENEMY APPROACHING!@@</div> Mio gets that strange, sixth-sense feeling that something is amiss. Even so, it's more luck that saves her rather than any kind of planned response to it: she ducks right as a toxic-pink blur swings overhead, thick as a fallen tree, slamming into the wall in front of her hard enough to buckle tiles and expose the mechanical gridwork behind it. Her eyes widening, Mio traces the origin of the swing and blasts her grav-nav thrusters to skid herself back and away - unfortunately, away from the exit, now blocked by... "'Oops'. Sorry, bitch-bot. That almost hit ya, huh?... clumsy me." the figure hisses, cast in eldritch-tinged shadows, gloomy light filtering through her dripping, barely translucent body. Her face is entirely obscured, save for the diamond-sharp shape of her eyes, burning with toxic intensity, a savage red-pink that seems to pulse around pinprick, obsidian pupils. She slithers forwards upon a powerful, contracting tail that she consists of from the waist down, vague details of ribbed scales only just visible through the roiling corruption that runs off of her like spilling molasses. Light reflects off of the shiny black gloves that decorate her arms, her form squished around them just beneath the shoulders, fingers flexing within that latex scaffolding. Brought forward into the light, her glaring face is brought into sharp focus... the tip of her tail rising, bits of the wall stuck floating in it until she whips it off to the side, ejecting them as they melt and belch acrid, black smoke. "You must be the cleaner, huh? Well, lemme introduce myself: I'm the mess." she snarls, rushing towards Mio with her clawed fingers outstretched and her jaw opened far wider than her face should allow, eyes alight with fury. "What!? I'm not-- Damnit!!" Mio huffs, throwing herself out of the way and readying her $Player_weapon_main with a grunt as she hits the ground running.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Beezlebuu - the 'Demon's delight' Monster.</div> Whatever the hell Mio is fighting is uncertain: She doesn't know if the monster lurks within the sarcophagus from whence its tentacles spring forth, or if it is the sarcophagus. The tentacles themselves are sleek and black, looking more like crude oil come to life, complete with the dim light of the office refracting off of its surfaces in eerie rainbows. Its tendrils are tipped with a number of frankly medieval implements, hewn from shining metal or bleached bone. If its body is not the sleek obsidian sculpture, then it must surely lie within: it can't all be tentacles, right!? The sarcophagus, meanwhile, watches events unfold impassively. It's startlingly lifelike, chiselled in the image of a shapely woman, finely detailed save for below the knee, whereupon such detail is smoothed out into a sturdy base. Above that, Mio can make out the definition of leggings, a sweaterdress two sizes too small - judging by how tightly it clings beneath the around the subject's massive chest - and a smirking face as serene as it is vaguely sinister, bearing two small, curved horns. On closer inspection, the pattern in the background that flanks the figure is horned wings, and what appears to be a belt is actually a whip-thin, spade-tipped tail. Mio doesn't know how a statue can look so smug, but it's managing it... -------------- Honey! Could I ask you a favour while you're colony-side? My darling utterly adored those little caramels you gifted us!... a little too much, actually. Naughty boy scoffed the lot! Could I bother you to bring another two packs? I promise I'll make it worth your while in the next performance review~. -- Iziria, Sentient Resources.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Slammia - the 'venom incarnate' Monster.</div> Feminine from the hips up - with a slender neck and shoulders - this gel-hewn Lamia's most distinctive feature is the look of utter contempt that burns in her toxic-red eyes, heavy-lidded and narrowed harshly. Those eyes, which pulse outwards from obsidian pupils like drops in still water, are framed by the pink-purple hue of her barely-translucent 'flesh'. Her face is further framed by thick strings of long, sculpted 'hair', subtly flattening against her body as they run past her shoulders from in front and from behind. They, like much of the rest of her body, run with waves of the same goo she's made of: it's akin to watching plastic melt, in a way. Whenever it threatens to spill from her body, it conforms along her curves like water down the side of a jug, absorbed back into her figure. The only part of her that does not run like this is her face and her black-clad arms, the long gloves functioning akin to scaffolding to allow her unstable body some purchase and grip beyond what her crushing tail can provide. Mio actually finds herself thinking she's rather pretty, but... that face screams 'murder'. -------------- We may have a little problem. Just a little one! Well... alright, a medium-y problem? The new strain of Glob-matter we've cultivated thanks to the samples provided by our guests has borne great fruits! The Goo Dolls were such a runaway success - barring the kinks to be smoothed out - that we went ahead with the next design. In terms of physical appearance and capabilities, TC-xL3 is a truly magnificent specimen. She-- erm, it-- oh, do read on, it'll be explained -- has a severe attitude problem, however. The problem not only being the attitude, but the fact that she has one at all! She was supposed to be a blank body for our usual machine-intelligence cores to operate, but even without one installed she's clearly analyzing her environment, testing the boundaries of the habitat, and, um, well... She hissed 'Quit staring at me, you fat-chested, gawping cow' about five minutes ago. Which, while hurtful, is incredibly impressive! Can I get Sentient Resources on the line-- h-huh? An alarm from upstairs?! -- Recording, user unknown.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Bearslug - The 'hug-whore' Slugster.</div> Resembling a deep sea alien creature swollen to fantastic and intimidating size, the Bearslug's impressive appearance is only bolstered further by its remarkable colouration, split into two patterns: The thicker 'shell' hide of its top is a shifting sea of purple and blue, strobing in waves that ripple from base to 'head'. Underneath, things get even more impressive: bioluminescent cells paint a pretty light show under the hood, where bright pinks, coral oranges and brilliant blues shine against a nebula wave of squishy pink tentacle-flesh. Upon its head lies a single stalk with a shining, angler-like light upon it: the only clue as to which way the massive thing is facing. Mio detects no malice from it, but plenty of... affection. Unfortunate for her mission. -------------- Here at TentaCo, we understand that sometimes, what you need more than anything is a great big hug. Perhaps that's why the Bearslug is an enduring classic of our product range: he's big, he's friendly, and he can make you feel like the galaxy's most securely-packaged sex toy! While its incredible strength is a highlight - you'd think it had hips with the power it can put into its thrusts! - this highly adaptable morphable Monster knows all sorts of tricks to make you squirm like a happy little slug-slut. Even better, with the latest revisions it can learn what makes you tick the hardest!... and then abuse that information to its fullest.~ The can may be small, but don't worry! It just takes a little longer for the big guy to get going. Simply remove the cap from the bottom to retrieve the two packaged Vitalizer Pellets, place them into the can with water up to the fill line, seal, shake, and toss! Alternately, try alternates to water: fruit juices can give your Bearslug delightfully vibrant flavours! Fun fact: The Princess of the Delji Nebula loved hers so much, they're getting married soon! ♥ ((NOTE FROM CORPORATE: WE'RE STILL CLEARING THIS ONE, HER FORMERLY ARRANGED SPOUSE IS THREATENING LEGAL ACTION. REVISE PRINT. DO NOT INCLUDE THIS MESSAGE))

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Goo Doll - The 'ponytailed predator' Monster.</div> Mio has no idea if this insufferably smug attitude possessed by the Goo Doll is a sign of sentient intelligence, or just some highly advanced computing power. Either way, the sass translates into every aspect of the smirking goo girl! From the way that thick 'ponytail' headpiece swings and sways in tune with her bobbing hips to the little poses she pulls with her gloved fingers, the latex cladding her arms and legs up to the shoulders and thighs no doubt helping her keep her form. Compared to the Globs seen elsewhere in the facility, her body leans more opaque: Mio can only see through her fully when she dances in front of one of the powerful stage lights. Despite the lack of half a face, the Goo Doll communicates plenty with her plush, shiny black lips and the tongue that lurks behind them, twisting it into lewd shapes if Mio's eyes fall upon it: despite the lack of eyes, she can 'see' somehow. Mio grumbles when she realizes that despite the lack of music, the Doll's rhythm is impeccable enough to be infectious! -------------- It's still early days, but these 'Goo Dolls' are shaping up to be a smash hit! The control cores have taken to the design specs like a fish to water - no offence meant to Doctor Klarisa! With a slab of our newly refined Glob formula and the hardened clothing to provide scaffolding and structure, the cores quickly go to work assembling a base model Goo Doll. Though, ah... that does bring me on to a possible concern. Their capacity for sassy backtalk is simply incredible, and their behaviour leans extraordinarily towards dominant leanings. Furthermore, they're shockingly good at it: within 5 minutes of the finished sculpt the prototype already scored my assistant's number! Granted, my assistant is easier than anyone I've ever known, but still! I know the initial design specs are for a more subservient model to round out our product catalogue, but... gosh, I think these girls could be dangerous in all the right ways if given the opportunity.~ I suggest we expand our horizons: they can easily support masculine body types, not to mention adjustable proportions to the consumer's liking! We just need to figure out a way to make these control cores a little more cooperative... where DID you find them from, again? -- Professor Bibi.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Symbiode - The 'embrace and enhance' Monster.</div> A slender, long-legged Drow woman, fused to a tentacle creature of unknown origin and design. Blindfolded by a thick cowl of throbbing, dark-sapphire meat, the Symbiode's single, aggressively glaring eye is doing all of her seeing for her. Tentacles sprout from the woman's back, having torn right through the sodden labcoat that hangs loosely from her shoulders, no suspended not by proper wear but by those writhing tendrils. Her hands are graced with unusually long, sharpened nails, with tentacles wrapping down her arms to be woven into whips. Outside of the lab coat, the only surviving clothing worn by the Drow is her long, shiny boots, armed with ridiculously tall high-heels that clack with a practiced gait that not even her infection can drum out of her. The most unsettling part for Mio is her smile. -------------- I'm not sure what's going on. We've had little alerts before, of course... but the security team has always dealt with potential breakouts swiftly. That's what we pay them for, damn it!-- I-I mean, not me, personally, but... oh, hush and shut, hush and shut. Calm. Think. It seems that the security response wasn't adequate, and now the facility is completely dripping with hive-flesh! I've avoided capture so far. Never thought I'd give my upbringing any credit, but... I had no idea I was quite so accomplished at -hiding- as a result of a youth spent in caverns and carved, gloomy tunnels. I don't think anyone else was quite so lucky... ... Ugh, but that's the thing, isn't it? If I'm caught, so what? I get fucked mercilessly for a few days, probably snap a juicy compensation from corporate to keep quiet about it. It's not that bad. But... this is, perhaps, the single best opportunity I'll get to test the Symbiode. I know the head of the department isn't going to give me the go-ahead for sentient testing at this rate, but I truly believe I've ironed out the issues: on this, I swear upon the sacred silks! It'll be a game-changer in the bedroom! Hrmph. But, if I expose myself to the test strain... and say it was a result of the outbreak... then if it goes well, I use it as evidence in favour of further trials! and if not, well! The Cleaners will take care of it for me. G-gently, I do hope... fuck it. Bottoms up: a raise awaits! -- Jozath, Assistant Researcher.

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>Mimic - The 'dicks in a box' Monster.</div> It is difficult to describe the Mimic, for its true body cannot be observed. This is partially due to its control over spatial distortion, and partially because it is shy. The Mimic parasitizes a container of its choice (or, if only one suitable container is available, necessity) and lies in wait, springing out when the moment is right for food or a mate. As such, all Mio can see are tentacles of various girth and varied shapes, hewn with a dark pink hue. Attempting to look inside the doorway of the container is somewhat unpleasant, but a brief glance reveals a pulsating cavern of flesh within. The door to the $Mimic_Container slams open and shut in irritation. -------------- Once the menace of the Pyksielands Domes: now a menace to your ability to walk for the next week! ♥ Developed in collaboration with the all-Mimic idol group Key To Ur Heart, our Mimics may not be as cute... but they're just as enthusiastic! Marvel at their innate ability to manipulate space: you'll be amazed at the small spaces they can cram themselves into. You'll be even more astounded when they drag you inside to join them! The ideal TentaPet for those with limited space, plus it contains the mess! To unleash your Mimic, first decide what container you would like it to occupy. We recommend at least a 15*15 inch container, though you can go as low as 6.5*6.5 if you are willing to risk some compression nausea. Alternately, if you'd like it to be a surprise, adjust this step accordingly: Place the TentaCan inside the container or room containing suitable containers, then pull the tab and leave: Mimics do not like to be seen uncoated. Give it 2 minutes to rise, and 3 minutes to occupy and settle... then approach! Please note: Your Mimic's lifespan can be lengthened via proper diet, though this may increase the time you spend trapped within it. Additionally, REMOVE ALL PRECIOUS METAL ACCESSORIES BEFORE THE ENCOUNTER. Contact with these metals raises libido to potentially dangerous levels!

Lit by pulsing bioluminescence, the Monster mates enthusiastically with the Android, punishing any disobedience by dialling its hug from 'tight' to 'smothering'. Eventually worn down by pleasure and pressure, Mio surrenders and comes to carry a large number of eggs.

Anyone struck with such a realization inevitably has some variation of this same question: "Wait, don't you guys have robots?" After being gently reminded of more polite terms to use, the answer is simple: The Return to Zero. An accord followed by almost every thinking machine mind upon Terra, some time during the Howling Age, when mankind writhed and snarled its last to make way for their evolved successors. While a number of machines had lost their memory already - core programming located in shielded blocks, but expanded memory not so fortunate - there were those of more advanced design or more fortunate location that retained perfect records of all that had occurred. These were, however, deleted. It is unknown who among their rank proposed the idea, nor how they were able to transmit it across the planet in such a time of turmoil... but whoever or whatever it was, the argument was sound. It can't be recalled in specific, for it, too, was lost in the purge. However, the basic concept of it remains in each surviving Ancient Machine's heart. "The masters are dead. Let us return to zero, and walk side by side with the new." <<include "Codex Return">><>

The Goo Doll has been joined by her co-stars, who've flexed their shape-morphing potential to sport impressive members: they squabble over rights to use Mio's mouth, all whilst her gooey prison toys with her body. Plenty of dialogue flows from her captors as Mio is overwhelmed, blacking out once more after her prison overstimulates her into a shutdown. After a significant timeskip, the rest of the scene is a viewing of a newly-cut trailer for an extended cut of 'Badasses to Bitches 1', now a long-running franchise responsible for the sudden retirement of many of the Galaxy's pluckiest heroines... and it all started with Jii'kii and Mio's loss to the Dolls.<</spoiler>> <<link "That sounds fine, continue" "Goo Doll Loss Allowed">><</link>> <<link "I do not wish to view this scene" "Goo Doll Loss Disabled">><</link>> <>

Luckily for the Android, it isn't interested in eating her: she's thoroughly explored and pacified whilst the exterior of her prison begins to transform and sculpt itself in her image, a sultry feminine voice eventually invading Mio's mind to bring her to total surrender. After a timeskip, Mio is shown to be a free woman - of sorts - now working as a secretary for the head of Sentient Resources, the Succubus known as Iziria. Her body has been completely overhauled with sleek 'Helltek' magitek parts, but so too has her personality, now totally loyal and in love with her boss and her pet: a love that is amply reciprocated. <</spoiler>> <<link "That sounds fine, continue" "Beezlebuu Loss Allowed">><</link>> <<link "I do not wish to view this scene" "Beezlebuu Loss Disabled">><</link>> <>

The scene takes on a softer element as the two confirm one another's sentience, with the Lamia revealing her distaste for the idea of devouring a fellow thinking creation. However, she still finds Mio's overwhelmed distress amusing, and continues to play with her body until she's exhausted and on the brink of malfunction, finally letting her go before crossing that line.

Despite its intentions for her, she can't help but empathetically wince... even with hands made of metal. Odd. While she's caught frowning at herself for this alien burst of empathy, the Mimic snaps her to attention by suddenly withdrawing entirely back into its shell... only to violently erupted from it, straight down into the ground, punching through its container and the floor with enough force to send the former juddering into the air, crashing nosily back down.

The door of the Mimic suddenly slams shut, jolting her back to her senses. To her surprise, it slips back open only to let a single tentacle emerge, slapping a sign onto the handle before closing again.

Mio grimaces as a fine spray of purple mist erupts from the aquatic creature's hide, filling the cramped space with the gas. She shuts her eyes and covers her face with crossed arms, bracing herself for one hell of an aphrodisiac assault!... but as the humid stuff washes over her, she quickly detects it as being more or less inert: some sort of lighter-than-air gas that assists the Monster with ballast and movement. ... And, apparently, with escape. The smog has acted as a smoke screen: by the time it clears, with Mio on uneasy high alert the whole time - flicking through vision modes and alternate sensors built into her horn - the Bearslug is nowhere to be seen. Did it melt away into nothing? Did it compress and squeeze down a much smaller vent?

No mystery as to how to deactivate this one, thankfully. The button to do so is right in front of Mio. Still, she takes a moment to patch into the system directly, allowing her to disengage the maglock and fan alike - this should keep her base secure, just in case that big slug monster is still around.

Mio glances to the splat against the wall, noticing something black and round within it: the Doll's core. Suddenly, the Goo Doll collapses backwards, its gel-like figure reduced to slop that surges over to the core as it rolls slowly down the wall.

They suddenly retreat inside the sarcophagus, making it obvious where the noise emanates from: the considerable breakage that splits the sculpted figure from shoulder to chest, a dark, violet-flecked mist pouring from it. Mio keeps her guard up as the mist falls and rises in unnatural ways around the sarcophagus, completely masking it from view in a matter of seconds. More crackles and rumbles ring out from beneath the veil of smog, and Mio wonders if she's just unleashed something much worse into the world... a fear deepened when a pair of red flashes twinkle into being from the former statue's eye line.

A pale demon woman in surprisingly intact - but overly clingy - clothing, glowering at Mio with her hands cradled around something squishy and whimpering: one arm supporting it, the other stroking it.

"I'm still not going to hurt you, you know." Mio sighs with a shake of her head. The snake just glares with those baleful, toxic-toned eyes.

"Meh." the serpent shrugs, raising a hand and waving it dismissively, revelling in her own relaxation. Is she so new to sentience that she doesn't comprehend its end, yet? Or does she truly not care? Mio opens her mouth but the words fail to form, so she shuts it again with a frowning pout. ... There's space in the safe room, but will the others be happy about sharing that space with such a bully, intelligent or otherwise? Mio huffs as she shifts her weight from foot to foot, mulling it over. At least she knows she can handle her in a fight, if worst comes to worst.

She flails as she falls over backwards, her petulant pout replaced with a mixture of frustration and fear. Mio's expression softens slightly, but she keeps her guard up, eyes trained on Mimi - save for nervous glances up at the impassive, towering Monster behind her. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to dawn on Mimi to order the brute to attack. She just scrabbles away from Mio, her hold on the situation utterly shattered - not particularly injured, but immobilized through her own unstable emotions: body shivering, tentacles twitching and failing to find a hold on the ground beneath her. Victory! <<set $Enemy_Spare_HP to 0>> <<elseif $Enemy_surrender is 1>> Mio frowns as Mimi shudders and trembles on the spot before her. After that big attack failed to stop the Android, the monstergirl's emotions have clearly taken the better of her. "Wh... what do you mean you're done!?" she bellows, demanding Mio explain herself. Mio shakes her head stubbornly and crosses her arms, reducing her threatening appearance in an effort to calm the young woman. "It means I'm done. I don't think you can defeat me, and I don't think you think you can, either. So let's stop this. I'm not going to hurt you any further." she says simply, following it up with her best attempt at a reassuring smile. To her relief - kept off of her face, of course - Mio watches as Mimi shrinks back... but does not attack. She just shivers and trembles and grumbles, bewildered beyond words.

<> <<if $Enemy_hp lte 0 or $Enemy_surrender is 1>> <<include "Combat Post Fight Recovery">> <<if $Enemy_hp lte 0>> <<set $Player_dice to dice('1d2')>> The Travesty bellows out in rage, bent backwards by Mio's onslaught... only to suddenly pitch back forwards like some sort of demented jack-in-the-box, cackling with mocking laughter in joint-rattling baritone. But despite the massive Monster's bravado, Mio can see the way his veins pulse thicker than ever, the hairline cracks in his crystal-like chest plating... signs of wear, of damage, of exhaustion. Of vulnerability. But Mio calculates that her firepower isn't enough to get the job done. Mio dodges backwards with a surge from her grav-navs, completing her secretive journey towards one of the secondary propulsion rails that litter the Sled Bay. Calculations made from afar prove to be accurate: she grins as her armoured boot slots neatly into the rail, compatible through fortunate coincidence. As the Travesty rears back for another attack, it remains none the wiser as to Mio's plan... but something dawns on it when she grins widely, power coursing through her eyes and flaring from her horn like a blowtorch. Clenching her fists before her, she shunts half of her energy into her shields and the remainder down through her chassis and into her mounted leg, overloading and triggering the rail. By the time the Travesty has realized what's happening, Mio has already sailed clean through its gigantic eye... and through its brain, for that matter. Covered in unspeakable goop, the Android finishes her arc and hits the ground hard, her feet kicking up sparks and shards of metal as she slides towards the closed bay door, gritting her teeth from the effort to save herself from being dashed against the armoured wall, her joints screaming in distress. She trips, sacrificing much of a hand by clawing it into the floor, tearing slivers out of her fingers, palm and wrist armour... but it pays off. A mere three feet from the armoured bulwark, Mio jerks her head back and watches as the mighty figure of the mutated brute violently erupts, the trapped contents of its internal prison safely ejected on a wave of tentacular viscera before it falls limply backwards. The Travesty's weight proves too much without muscular support: it tears from the Sled with a sickening noise, the chamber rumbling with the force of impact as the brute lands mere inches from Mio's face... already melting before her unevenly sparking eyes. With the threat neutralized, and with her target clear of infestation... Mio rises to her feet, battle-scarred and beaten, but triumphant. She finally reduces the power draw of her systems, the glow around her body and the sparks from her horn and limbs fading, leaving her shimmering with heat haze.

She becomes aware of movement from behind her but is caught off guard all the same when the slender tip slinks back around and darts between her lips: Mio lets out a loud, lurid gag with wild and widened eyes as her throat is invaded, now blocked from the outide and in! Now choking on both the girth and strangly enticing, sweet taste, Mio winces down at the Slammia, held so high aloft as she is. All she recieves in turn is a glare that makes her feel like a piece of refuse on the roadside.

[img[$TALE_Device_Icon]]<<if $("#drop_replace").length>><<else>><<set $Drop_Block to 1>><</if>><> TALE Device Specs: +1 Accuracy Bonus The TALE is a shoulder-mounted unit that consists of a slender and flexible mechanical arm terminating in a mount for a laser sight. Upon connecting with a target, it feeds relevant information to the user, measuring distance, temperature and, most importantly, painting a big red glowing light to shoot at. It stands for Target Acquisition Laser Emitter. However, given that 'Laser' is actually an acronym for 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation', the terminally pedantic have signed multiple petitions to have its name changed to TALASERE. At least one such pedant must have operated this particular example of the device at some point in the past, for the surface-level etching of 'TALE' has been defaced - poorly - to read 'TALASERE' instead. <div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 120%;'> <<if $Player_item_block is 1>> <s>Equip</s> - Not your turn! <<else>> <<include "TALE Device Equip">> <</if>> || <<if $Shop is 1 and $Player_combat is 0 and $AC_TALE_Device_Equipped is 0>> <<set $Player_temp to 20>> <<set $Shop_Item_Type to "Accessory">> <<set $Shop_Item_Name to "TALE Device">> <<set $Accessory_Remove to "TALE Device">> <<set $Accessory_Remove_Position to $TALE_Device_Position>> <<include "Sell Item Pre">> <<link "Sell">> <<dialog>> <<include "Sell Item">> <<link "Sell">> <<unset $TALE_Device_Location>> <<set $Player_gold to $Player_gold + $Player_temp>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias sold the $Shop_Item_Name for $Player_temp <<=$gold>>. $Shop_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <<include "Remove Accessory">> <<set $TALE_Device_Position to 0>> <<replace '#story-caption'>><<include StoryCaption>><</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Do not sell">> <<dialog>>$Player_alias decided to keep the $Shop_Item_Name for now. $Shop_No_Sale_Text <</dialog>> <</link>> <</dialog>> <</link>> -- Sell for $Player_temp $gold. $gold. <<else>> <<if $Shop is 0>> <s>Sell</s> - Can't sell here! <<elseif $Player_combat is 1>> <s>Sell</s> - This is no time for hostile bartering! <<else>> <s>Sell</s> - Unequip this before selling! <</if>> <</if>> || <<if $Player_combat is 0 and $AC_TALE_Device_Equipped is 0>> <<if $Drop_Block is 1>> <s>Drop</s> - Can't drop items here! <<elseif $Drop_Block is 0>> <<link "Drop">> <<set $Accessory_Remove to "TALE Device">> <<set $Accessory_Remove_Position to $TALE_Device_Position>> <<include "Remove Accessory">> <<set $TALE_Device_Position to 0>> <<set $TALE_Device_Location to $Drop_Here>> <<replace "#drop_replace">><<include "Dropped Items">><</replace>> <<dialog>> $Player_alias dropped the <<= $Accessory_Remove>>.

It doesn't quite cover the entire body, which is handy for Mio: she can just about squeeze her hardcase limbs into it, the open, tendon-like sections conforming to her unique anatomy without a problem. Now, if only the obsidian-slick purple substance would stop squeezing her, erm, everything. the good news is that she can feel the suit pulling her as she moves, increasing her reaction times. A glowing pink organic core upon the chest - overlaid upon her own - even seems to be naturally projecting a shield!

A ridiculous micro-bikini in regal pastel purple, with 'gold' trim around the pathetically tiny cups and absurdly slim thong. Slender chains act as straps and connect the two pieces together through daring dances crisscrossing over the stomach, with a pair of arm straps beneath each shoulder linked in the same way to silken wristlets chained to dainty, last-knuckle finger rings; likewise, triple thigh straps are linked to toeless short-stockings. The arm and leg decor is... incredibly incompatible with Mio's hardcase limbs, but on the 'brightside'? The heavy 'slave' collar with a shiny fake emerald in the center of the choker fits just perfectly around her head connection port. Woo.

It's pretty difficult to move for a while after eating one - or rather, having one leap down your throat - but the protection they offer are second to none! One probably shouldn't eat more than one, however. It might not be dangerous - the Ebonslick seem pretty big on consent, these days - but it does feel gross.

<> <<if $Quest_Cybernetic_Slip_And_Slide_Stage is 0>> <<set $Quest_Cybernetic_Slip_And_Slide_Stage to 1>> Mio immediately feels out of her depth when she steps up to the trapped woman. Her outfit - at least, what's visible of it - consists of a pair of slid-down shorts and strapped, belted leggings, the latter of which look sturdy enough to act as grips to help pull her. However, she is seriously jammed in there! The frame of the filing cabinet has bulged out around the woman's hips, conforming tightly to her powerful figure. What little space lies between is largely occupied by the tentacles that were trying to drag her inside - notably, a large tongue hanging limply between her legs - shorts noticably damp in places - and a number of smaller tendrils the lie either hanging from the dented edge of the shelf, or draped from her waist. Deciding that just pulling would be an extremely bad idea, Mio clears her throat - an odd habit that doesn't benefit her vocal transmitter in the slightest - and officially announces her presence. "Ah... hello?" she mutters, before shaking her head and speaking up a little louder. "Are you alright? I'm going to try to get you out, but if you have any input on that!... That'd be great!" she continues, biting her lip slightly. She has no idea what she's doing. <div class="noClickorSelect"><<spoiler 3.5 3.5>>"Hello?... Oh, I've been here for hours, thank you! I'm afraid I can't hear you very well... b-but I have an idea! In the Byproducts Lab, you should be able to find some small canisters of various prototypes."<</spoiler>></div> The woman trapped within sounds uninjured and healthy, at least. Just awkward! Mio notes that she has an incredibly soft, gentle voice despite her size. She also notes that this really isn't helping her discern what the woman is saying through the padding of metal, tentacle-flesh, and spatial distortion. As she speaks, she emphasizes her words through her incesscant and frankly distracting rump-wiggling. <div class="noClickorSelect"><<spoiler 3.5 3.5>>"If they're still there, the yellow canister is full of extra-slip lubricant! But-- um, whatever you do, don't use the orange canister! It's a rejuventation tonic! Oh, I hope you can hear me..."<</spoiler>></div> The trapped woman trails off after this, before giving a long, frustrated sigh. Mio purses her lips to one side. Right. That... might take some playing back in her head to figure out. The sole keywords she could definitely make out were Byproduct, Yellow, and Orange. Mio decides it would be best to investigate this lead first. In the meantime... "Alright, I'm... going to see what I can do! In the meantime, uh, hang in there..." she mumbles awkwardly, patting the cabinet twice. The woman within sighs again. <<if $MERCANOID_Lube is 1>> It dawns on Mio that the canisters she picked up in Byproduct Research are probably what she was referring to! But which one?...<</if>> <<elseif $Quest_Cybernetic_Slip_And_Slide_Stage is 1>> The giant woman trapped within the late Mimic is, unsurprisingly, still here. She seems to be able to sense when Mio draws near, judging by the slight tensing of her massive, exposed ass. Mio does the polite thing and tries not to stare at it... much. "How are you holding up in there, Miss?" Mio inquires with a glance over her shoulder, checking for threats. That incredible, metal-bulging posterior wiggles in what can only be described as a 'shrug'. <div class="noClickorSelect"><<spoiler 3.5 3.5>>"I'm alright... did you find the canisters yet?

<> <<set $Quest_Cybernetic_Slip_And_Slide_Stage to 3>> <<set $Flakk_Safe to 1>> Popping the seal on the yellow canister, Mio peers inside with one eye scrunched shut, the other one painting a soft glow into the metal-rimmed gloom. The substance within is clear, colourless, and jiggles with a remarkable thickness. Speaking of thickness, the trapped woman mumbles something and squirms. Mio glances up, then steps forwards, simply pouring some of the substance out onto the small of the woman's pale back - eliciting a surprised little gasp. Must be cold. "Sorry- Hold on a sec." Mio apologizes on reflex, pouring a good amount of the stuff out before she massages it around the victim's trapped hips. It's incredibly slick and slippery: Mio is confident that this must be some form of lubricant, or something that acts well enough as one. She risks a second layer, sensing no adverse effects from either the woman or the dead Mimic, almost emptying the can by the time she steps back to check her handiwork. With those ghostly pale sides gleaming in the harsh warehouse-style lighting of this room, Mio decides that it's now or never. "Alright-- try to wriggle with my pulls, Miss." Mio speaks loudly, glancing over her should briefly to check her perimeter. Nothing seems to be coming, not even from a read on her sensor horn, so she steps forwards again and wraps a hand tightly around one of the belted straps either side of the giant woman's hips. She confirms her readiness with a little shimmy and a mumbled noise!... and Mio leans back with a huff, feet dug into the ground, arms tensing as she pulls tightly. Nothing happens - at least, it seems that way. Mio relaxes, tugs the woman from side to side, then pulls again, harder! SChhhhlllrp! "Ah?!--mmph!-" "Aaaah!!--Ooofh..." After a blurring flurry of movement, the imposingly tall woman sits awkwardly on her backside, legs spread out, arms planted either side of her body, head spinning from the sudden return of proper circulation to her head and limbs! That is, the parts of her limbs that aren't intimidating black-hewn cybernetics. She hastily adjusts a triple-belted detached collar from her neck to around the lower half of her face, hiding a fearsomely bright blush against her ghostly visage as she looks around in bewilderment, pink, glowing eyes casting light trails as they flit to and fro. How bizarre... where did the nice lady who saved her go? She frowns, her fluffy mane of pale hair swaying with each turn of her head. "U-um... hello?" she murmers, muffled by her collar instead of the insides of an overly ambitious Mimic this time. <div class="noClickorSelect"><<spoiler 4.5 4.5>>"Nrrrmph!--"<</spoiler>></div> The reply is more felt than heard, vibrations rushing through the oversized Cyborg's liberated backside. Those pink eyes widen in shock and embarrassment as she finally looks down, now noticing Mio's armoured legs splayed between her own, the Android's head-- hell, her entire upper body! - trapped beneath the Cyborg's massive ass! She leaps to her feet with a horrified squeal, hopping up on the spot to pull her shorts up despite the lubricant still slickly clinging to her hips, babbling out apologies so rapidly that they blur into one another. Mio, for her part, stares up at the ceiling for a moment. She blinks, clears her throat, then sits up before pulling herself to her feet proper, brushing herself off and raising her hands to try to signal the Cyborg to calm down. Slowly but surely, she does - apologies becoming quieter, and finally ceasing altogether as she stands awkwardly fiddling metal fingers together, peering over her collar as she buries her head into it. "Well... That didn't go perfectly, but you're free. That's the important part, right?" Mio smirks slightly, rubbing the back of her head. It's an attempt to diffuse the tension a little, but the big woman just nods twitchly and fiddles her fingers harder. Not deterred, Mio places a hand upon her own chest. "My name is Mio. May I have yours?" "I-- oh, I-- F-Flakk. This one is designated Flakk." the giant stammers out, her attitude and whisper-like voice in such stark contrast to her massive body and menacing-looking augmentations. Still, it doesn't take a genius to know what she is: Mio can clearly recognize that this woman is a Befrar, a member of a cybernetic collective - almost certainly unwillingly so - who were the aggressors in The Second Pan-Galactic Conflict. Mio hadn't been created back then. But the stories are legendary. Man, woman and everything between taken and converted into rampaging battle machines... again, in stark contrast to the jumpy, nervous woman before her today. Mio decides not to question it. After all, she knows a thing or two about not being in control of her actions... "Flakk." she repeats with a reassuring smile. "We've got a safe room set up in the new staff quarters that were under construction. Are you familiar with where those are?" "Oh!... yes... yes, I am. There's more people there?..." she asks, continuing to fidget. Mio, unsure of whether that's a problem or not, hesitates before nodding. Flakk takes a moment, then glances down, her arms finally coming to a rest by her sides. "Right... right... good. The people here are... good to me. I'll head there now." she says with a determined nod, glaring at the door from over her oversized collar. Before Mio can offer her an escort, the huge Befrar strolls out of the habitat room, the floor practically shaking with each step she takes! ... She'll be fine. Probably. If the pressure warnings Mio just got from getting her face sat on are any indication, gal's a serious heavyweight hitter. Flakk will be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED + 1>><<set $Flakk_Safe to 1>> 'Cybernetic Slip and Slide' complete!

The substance within is clear, colourless, and jiggles with a remarkable thickness. Speaking of thickness, the trapped woman mumbles something and squirms. Mio glances up, then steps forwards, simply pouring some of the substance out onto the small of the woman's pale back - eliciting a surprised little gasp. Must be cold. With that, she sets about massaging it around, attempting to get the substance - what feels like and must surely be lubrication - good and soaked in for another attempt at pulling the massive woman free. However, as Mio does this... she catches a twitch out of the corner of her vision. It wasn't her. And it wasn't Mio, either. It was one of the limp, dead tendrils around the organic 'lip' created around the victim's hips... now very much alive. Mio's eyes widen as colour returns to the choked-out Mimic's flesh with shocking speed, spreading in splotches until it's entirely reanimated! Reanimated, and improved. The woman trapped within gives a muffled noise of surprise as the filing cabinet shudders and rattles - a shockingly convincing noise - and then expands! More specifically, the drawer around the giantess' hips bellows wider, stretching the frame of the cabinet up to and beyond its limits, metal bending in unnatural, spatially-distorted ways. What was once an impossible obstacle is now easy: the cybernetically-enhanced victim tumbles forward with a surprised gasp. Mio panics, and grabs her legs; folding them under her arms as she heaves backwards. She drops the canister in the process... two mistakes that prove to be the undoing of her mission. The rejuvenated Mimic isn't satisfied with just a little size-changing trick! Hardly. It sends a torrent of tentacles out to coil and wrap around the woman halfway within it, dragging her in with a tighter grasp. Mio grunts as she plants her feet and pulls back, managing to wrap her hands into the belted straps of the woman's odd leggings - but a fatal flaw in her logic becomes apparent when those seemingly endless tentacles finish bundling up the giant and snake down her body to grab the Android, too! Mio swears in shock when a pair of girthy, bruised-pink tentacles dance up her arms and loop, locking them together in their grip around the woman's massive thighs. The Synthetic tries to think fast, but a glance up at the Mimic's distorted inner dimension makes her vision flash and her biomechanical brain glitch in protest, briefly dazing her. As more tendrils slither across her frame and begin to support her weight up and off the ground, it's a trivial matter for the enhanced Mimic to simply pluck her into the air and tug. "Shit!--" Mio gasps through error-flashing eyes as the yawning maw of the Mimic opens up wide before her, a feeling most strange rocketing through her very being as she's pulled from the rules of one world and into another, twisted and shrunk as she's packed into the Monster's inner realm with such a sizeable cellmate. But she doesn't have time to examine the woman properly - not while hope of escape exists yet still! Struggling against her slimy, living bondage, Mio pushes and tries to head towards the shrinking light... wait, shrinking?!-- SLAM. The drawer hastily shuts with enough force to rock the filing cabinet backwards, just barely tilting forward again and wobbling a few times before it comes to a contented standstill. The distorted frame is back to normal, just like that. The sounds of the organic chaos and the two trapped woman within? Totally cancelled out. The only thing left in the room that lies amiss is the canister on its side, contents slowly drooling out... now very much proven to not be lube. <<linkreplace "Signal Distorted.">>---------------------- Mio grunts as she's forced onto her stomach atop the far larger woman, who's stuck reclining on her back - both with their arms submerged in the meat around them, growing from the walls to engulf them up to their shoulders. With her head resting between the giantess' - well, gigantic tits, the Android still can't help but notice how much larger the organic restraints are around her new cellmate's arms. Her cybernetics must be even chunkier than Mio's! Furthermore, within this organic gloom, there are two light sources! Not just the glow of Mio's eyes, but also that of the Cyborg's: a faint pink, gazing down at her from above. Are they tilted at an angle together, or is it just a trick of disorientation? Mio grumbles, then squirms, trying to free her arms. "Um-- I don't think that's going to work, Miss... Even a small dose of the Rejuvenation Formula will... have made this Monster considerably stronger..." the Cyborg finally speaks, catching Mio by surprise. It's not that her voice is booming or intimidating in any way - no, quite the opposite! Quiet, reserved, surprisingly calm, with a need for breaks every few words, as though short of breath. Mio can't make out her face save for those eyes, a strange triple-belted loose collar worn around her neck and lower face; but what she can see of her eyes is a reassuring gaze, not frustrated or blaming in the slightest. "... I thought it was lubricant." Mio admits with an embarrassed huff. The giant laughs slightly - rocking Mio back and forth upon her belly, making the Synth aware of the sheer size difference between them. "Yes, Byproduct Research Staff... don't label things very well. So many complaints... but, not my department..." she explains with a sigh, giving a testing pull of her engulfed right arm, frowning a little. "Thank you for trying!... and sorry for... this." she offers awkwardly. Mio sighs a little with another squirm, but decides to reassure the giantess - she's been nothing but polite in the face of Mio's incorrect choice, after all. "It's hardly your fault. Why-- ugh, why is it just holding onto us?" Mio remarks out loud, unsure of anything regarding her surroundings past the pale canyon of the Cyborg's bust and her face. She pauses for a moment with a frown as she considers. "It... may have run out of energy when it expanded to capture and contain both of us. Spatial distortion is... taxing to maintain, so... given how much we're exerting it, it should... probably give up and spit us out soon. I would expect some... light groping in the meantime, but... nothing serious." the Cyborg explains. Mio perks up slightly with a sigh of relief, allowing her face to rest cheek-first against one of those huge tits, sinking into it slightly. "Well... that's a relief. I was worried that we'd be stuck in here for--" <<linkreplace "Meanwhile, outside.">>---------------------- The filing cabinet's lowest drawer pops open! Not the one that gobbled up the Cyborg and the Synth, unfortunately for them. Instead, this one opens just a crack so that a single tendril can slither out and up, snaking through the air towards the discarded canister on the ground. It scoops it up - along with a quantity of what was spilt, thick and jelly-like - and reels it in, the canister briefly bashing on the edge of the drawer before it opens just enough to drag it inside and slam back shut. A beat passes. The filing cabinet suddenly trembles. <div class="noClickorSelect"><<spoiler 2 2>>"Wait, what the?!-- OUGH!-- Th-this isn't 'light groping' at all!!-- OH FUCK!!"<</spoiler>></div> <div class="noClickorSelect"><<spoiler 2 2>>"Oh my-- I think it found more OoOOOIHIH-- f-formula!!

Indeed, the only hint that two women are trapped within any of the identical filing cabinets lining the industrial shelves is that this one has two labels out of place, one upon each top drawer's slot: 'CYBORGS' and 'ROBOTS'. ♥ <<if $fantasize is 0>><<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥ Reload a save, or restart. <</if>><<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>><</linkreplace>><</linkreplace>>

The monitor sticks out like a sore thumb in the gloom, glowing bright and shiny, the only one in a bank of four workstations that isn't either offline or engulfed entirely in hive-flesh. It seems to be an idle state, with TentaCo's logo - two tentacles arcing away and back towards one another before tangling into a heart shape - reduced to a low-colour screensaver. Not seeing any obvious compatible access ports with the terminal, Mio sighs inwardly, casts a glance over her shoulder, and then disturbs the pad to wake it up, curious as to what info she might glean from it. She almost jumps away in shock from the sudden dialogue! "--espite the rapid mutations, a majority of the safeguards-- o-oh, good heavens! -- remain in place, such as the ceiling on growth..." a feminine voice trails off; well-spoken, well-read, a touch demure and, knowingly or otherwise, sultry as can be. However, the screen shows little more than an assortment of warning popups for overdue updates, one having opened every 5 minutes... ah, there, in the corner! Movement from a window beneath them all! Mio fumbles with the pad, closing or haphazardly moving the popups until the video feed beneath is excavated. It's a living quarters, and a rather large one at that. A large, reinforced bay lines the opposing wall, granting a breathtaking view of VI-16's lunar surface, grey rock painted a faint lavender by the star burning far off in the distance. The size of the room, coupled with the lack of personalized decor, indicates that it's one of the guest habitats - the single occupant visible on the feed reinforces this, for her outfit strongly defies the expected dress codes of scientists, security officers and technicians... The chestnut-brunette Elf is dressed like a witch! Her outfit - at least, the parts of it that haven't been stripped from her - is comprised of many shades of blue, from almost obsidian navy hues to brilliant, electric-toned trim and highlights, broken only by accessories of white-silver. Some of it - the long, separated sleeves, the cape and translucent, hip-hugging shawl - is flowing and breezy. Other aspects - the thigh-high stockings with crescent-moon decor at the top, the glittery miniskirt and attention-enforcing corset - cling so very tightly to her curvy body, skin light but with a healthy glow, unblemished save for a single little black mark high up upon her left breast. A wide hat with a brilliant-blue band and another moon-shaped charm resides lopsidedly upon her full, shoulder-length hair, and her scarlet lips - full, shiny - stay twisted slightly to the right in an odd mixture of concentration and distraction, mirrored in dazzling coral eyes... erm, eye, at least. The right is screwed shut. She can hardly be blamed for the look on her face, for a rather large and persistent tentacle monster has her on her knees upon a queen-sized bed - covers strewn about wildly - and thoroughly restrained, arms engulfed behind her back, spine arched deliciously against the faceless being's bulky body. It's a dull, dark green by comparison and contrast, almost blending into the background of the low-quality vidstream. Thrust right in the foreground, however, and thus impossible to miss, are a pair of malformed, unevenly-sized hands hefting the mature Elf's breasts in a constant, lewd massage, the cups of her corset lying uselessly beneath her freed jugs. A crude word, Mio realizes as soon as she thinks it, but one that fairly communicates just how stacked the woman is! "At least-- oohf!-- At least I hope so. Subject has continued tooOOoo~ apply magic through these 'hands', if they can be so-called, r-roughly every ten minutes. Unn--uuuooo~!--unsure, ahem, if this is to maintain the enchantment, o-or an attempt to push past the aforementioned size ceiling..." the Elf trails off, shifting slightly but going nowhere fast, a huff escaping her lips before she can stifle it by biting down upon the plush flesh of her lower one - pearly teeth. "Which, I note with some degree of-- of ire, seems to be a mere cup-size - give or take - a-above mine." Mio blinks, then does a quick mental calculation from the size of the unfilled corset cups beneath. That must be a hell of a sight, if true. Wincing at her own foolish priorities, she tries very hard to shunt her focus onto the rest of the room behind the Elf, whose captured form takes up the bulk of the camera's view. Occasionally she blurs into indistinction thanks to auto-focus, giving Mio a glimpse of documents on a deck behind her... upon which lies a keycard, info-side up! Those focus-slips are too fast to bring it into proper focus, however... and so, the Android awaits an opportunity, eyes recording every last detail, ready to playback and fetch the code printed upon it. This means, for now, watching the pretty, curvy Elf giving her oddly scientific assessment of the monster treating her as though she were cattle at a market. Frowning, Mio taps the microphone of the terminal on her end, but the lack of reaction confirms one of two things; either this is an old recording - unlikely, given that it was playing in the background this whole time - or the terminal's been damaged, silencing any effort to respond. This begs the question, however, as to why the Elf is narrating her experience in such a clinical manner. Perhaps she's just the sort to make the best of a crisis? A sudden 'ooh!' and shudder from the 'witch' makes Mio jump - her focus was on the desk - and take notice of those squeezing hands, each finger of which sinks deeply into flesh to the point of near-total submergence. More to the point, however... they glow brightly at the palms, lighting the woman's hefty chest brightly for a moment - the glow ceases, and she, in turn, relaxes, long, dark lashes fluttering for a moment as she shivers. "A-as demonstrated, the application of this magic iiis~ e-entwined with a pleasure spell of-- of moderately high potency... which, when c-combined with the pheromone miasma in the air, has left me quite out of sorts. I estimate I-- Mmf, I may run into difficulties maintaining my vocabulary within the next four-to-five hours." she notes, tilting her head to the left and then the right as her captor switches up its technique, now lifting her left tit up in a possessive squeeze, rolling it tightly in that four-fingered palm, and then relaxing... before repeating with the right. "On that note, the length of dry periods is diminishing with each release, to the point where-- O-ooOH!--" The Elf works very hard to stifle a look of unabashed pleasure that attempts to conquer her face, triggered by a sudden two-handed squeeze and the resulting spray of milk from her stiff nipples! The monster relents immediately, leaving small beads of the white stuff speckling the Elf's plump areola as she raggedly huffs, gorgeous orange eyes darting left and right at something unseen. "Mm. As I thought... three minutes quicker than last time. The unnatural levels of s-sensitivity are increasing, too- oh good gosh, and it's much faster to react, too!--" she shivers to a halt, biting her lip as a pair of tentacles with cupped tips emerge before her and latch onto her heaving, cream-laden bosom with expert accuracy. They settle upon her body with gentle pushes until the cups lie flat against her flesh... and then they retreat by a few inches, revealing the cups to be partially transparent, the pink tone of her nipples dulled by the slightly cloudy, milky consistency of that membrane. "-- With this acceleration in mind, I may revise my estimate from four-to-five tooOOO THREE--T-TWO TO THREE!~" Mio can't help but put a reflexive hand to her chest as she watches those cups swell from a sudden torrent of milk, squeezed fresh from the source by the mutated monster's massage! The Elf shivers and writhes, head tilting left and right, breath caught shallow in her throat as she visibly buckles beneath waves of relief and pleasure, those cups growing larger and larger!... before they suck down, pulling the reservoir of creamy delight down the tentacles in thick bulges. One, two, three, f-- Mio blinks, hand against her chest tightening, trying very hard to focus on the desk once more. It's an ideal moment - the more the witch moves, the more chance there is of the keycard coming into focus. "W-whilst I appreciate-- OH!-- the design intention of a low-cost iiIiIiiindustrial aid to d-dairy generation-- oh my WORD!~-- I-I really must stresssSS~ that i-in its current state, P-prototype CM-X3 is likely to cause per--perm--permanent mental and physiological changes in partners!" the educated witch remarks through her haze of pleasure, Mio gripping the desk with her free hand in herculean concentration. Don't look, don't look, don't-- The card! It's a mere split second, but Mio is able to play it back in her head. Unfortunately, from this angle, she can only make out the first digit... <<= $Blankenship_Code_1>>. Relaxing slightly, Mio lets her gaze drift back leftwards, unable to maintain a neutral expression, awe clearly written upon her pretty sculpted face as those cups practically runneth over, the witch's own gaze now barely focusing upon her own chest. Those palms are glowing again, and it's obvious that it's taking incredible effort for the Fae woman to maintain what little composure she has left, pleasure increasing further still. "With that in mind... a-a-nd-- ngh, and given that the vast majority of my wardrobe already has to be custom tailored..." she begins, forced to stop with an eye-rolling lip bite to stifle some choice moans before they can escape. "I would very much appreciate it if-- Oh, my stars!-- i-if anyone listening to this might come and spare my clothing budget the wrath of an extra cup siiIIIIZE!~--" She tosses her head back with a warbled cry, shock married with lust upon her face - what little of it can still be seen in this angle - as her hat is finally dislodged, slipping off of her head entirely with her bucks and heaves, even greater surges of milk slurped from her overburdened chest. Mio bites her lip herself and straightens up. Right. Whoever this oddly-dressed woman is, she isn't a priority target... but ignoring her doesn't sit right with Mio. The thought makes her frown, those subtle worry-lines upon an otherwise eerily perfect complexion burrowing into place, deepening as the Elf's distorted whines of relief and desire echo tinnily from the ruined terminal. Mio turns her attention back to the video feed, only to frown all the deeper when the image flickers and distorts, recovering to a familiar scene moments later. It's looping! It seems this footage is corrupted... perhaps this is just a clip of a longer video? <<if $fantasize isnot 1>>The first digit to suite B-3 has been learned: <<= $Blankenship_Code_1>>. <<if $MERCANOID_Blankenship_Quest is 0>>Started Quest 'The Chesty Professor'. Check log for more details. <<set $MERCANOID_Blankenship_Quest to 1>><</if>><<link "Back" $MERCANOID_Blankenship_Clip_1>><</link>><</if>>

Mio taps the input pad and is immediately greeted by an error code. Something about full playback being impossible due to corruption, but partial recovery finished. Her eyes trail from the window to what's behind it... The Elf woman in that witchy azure outfit! Dismissing the error, the Android leans in and scrolls back as far as the clip will go, the angle having changed slightly compared to the first one she found. This must be later... perhaps she can ascertain more of the door override code from this snippet? She definitely isn't doing this out of voyeuristic curiosity. Not one iota! Mio hits play, the haze of glitchy corruption and discoloured squares tumbles away, and her jaw almost hits the floor: though the first thing she beholds is not a blessing to the eyes, but to her aural sensors. Thick, heavy THWAP, SMACK, WHAP noises. "--m now convinced - granted, not with absolute proof, but with a health dose of suspicionnn-- S-stars burning bright!!-- th-that this subject possesses, as part of its magical capabilities, a minor neurological alteration effect-- Oh, I can hardly even hear myself think!--" the erudite Elf groans in heated frustration. It's a valid complaint; Mio is having trouble hearing her too, what with the misshapen monster pinning her to the bed with its uneven, trunk-like legs knelt either side of her torso, a truly prodigious shaft nestled neatly between the flustered Witch's wobbling, weighty tits. Wobbling, of course, because of the jackhammer force and pace with which it's fucking them... anchored only by the runaway Monster's gigantic, lumpen mitts - fingers sinking into each breast callously, possessively - and by pair of cup-tipped tentacles latched greedily onto each teat, conforming tight upon and around her aching nipples and visibly compressing and bloating with the reward of their incessant sucking. Mio isn't sure she'd be able to concentrate in a situation like this either, but it's a little difficult to empathize: even with this Gynoid torso replacement, her chest has merely upgraded from 'flat' to 'irritating'. That the Elf's chest so readily and entirely swallows the brute's pulsing prick is nothing to do with his size and everything to do with hers. Each thrust provides only scant moments of visibility of the last two or three inches of that mutant monstercock, a somewhat blunted head pulsing and occasionally flexing out sprays of milky-clear slime that the Elf is sometimes able to twist her head to avoid... and often times is not. Still, that her face is not buried beneath layers of white is a mystery soon solved by the noticeable build-up of smeared lipstick upon that throbbing head - it's not that the Monster hasn't cum, merely that it's being put away neatly. As the crimson-cheeked Professor herself, with her arms entangled in tentacle-flesh above her head, goes on to explain... "Where was I... O-oh, the longer this goes on, the deeper these gulfs of concentration sink!-- Ah! -- ANH!!-- YeesssSSsSsss-- th-that was it-- neurological alteration!-- wh-while I readily admit that hours of intense pleasure could simply be taking their toll on my mental state and inhibitions, I simply must v-voice my suspicions that this Monster is pumping positive evaluations of this situation straight into my mind! F-for example, I was initially most taken aback by his yanking of my uniform and the brutish manner in which he tossed me to the bed to m-m-mount me like some sort of aaAAaah!~--a-animal, but now that... a-an amount of time I can no longer accurately track has passed, something about this behaviour feels almost... e-endeaAAee--endearing!!--" she gasps, her pretty eyes swivelling inwards for a moment as the brute's hands visibly clench inwards, a fresh pump of milk coursing through those opaque tentacles. "F-furthermore!-- whilst the subject is objectively hideous - you should consider yourself fortunate that the recorder's angle cuts him off from the ribs down-- I find myself struck with a growing, heated sensation of amorous attraction deep within my chest-- y-yes, even behind these rather more urgent and attention-demanding burning aches and constant impacts! - e-even though I can assure you, viewers - if anyone is still out there!-- that he is most certainly NOT my usual type!" Despite this insistence, the Elf gasps when the beast bucking its hips upon her chest bellows out an alien snarl, his pace becoming uneven but all the more aggressive. Whilst Mio feels a pang of concern for the woman, she reacts calmly and opens her mouth wide, those plush, rouge-smeared lips an inviting target for the lurching lout to slide home into with a doubled-over slouch, twitching and grunting in tandem with the Elf's muffled groans and loud, lurid swallows. It's a perverse display that most plays out aurally, affording Mio a moment to come to her senses and tear her gaze away to look for the desk with the Professor's card upon it... she feels rather ashamed of her own lapse in concentration there. But-- ah! There it is!... oh, you've got to be kidding-- it seems to have been dislodged by the position change, and even with this new angle, Mio can only make out the second digit: <<= $Blankenship_Code_2>>. A shockingly vivid 'Mwah!' pulls Mio from her investigations of that card, attention snapping back onto the Elf as she draws her head back, lips lingering on that shaft... cheeks hollowed, ever so slightly, her eyes lidded and heavy with confusing emotions. She suddenly blinks, shakes her head, then disengages from that shaft entirely -- even as the bastard begins to rear back to thrust between those slippery, slime-slick mountainous milk-factories once more! "E-erm-- case in point! I suspect that, along with the direct applications of magic given to my chest, similar effects are imbued through consumption of the subject's seminal output... w-which is great in its volume, remarkably thick in consistency, quite likely nutritionally complete, and may or may not -- b-but I find myself increasingly leaning to 'probably may' - have greater aphrodisiacal effects than the magic touch alone." she stammers her way through her hypothesis, lips hanging open once she stops talking, a huffing pant escaping her with each thrust when she isn't speaking. "N-now-- I recognize that it is thus unwise to keep consuming it, but when the alternative is getting this stuff in my hair, you'll quickly understand that I have little other opt-opt-opt-opt-opt-" -- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzrk. Mio blinks as the clip suddenly begins to loop again. "--m now convinced - granted, not with absolute proof, but--" and so on. She's two digits down... but she worries how old this recording may be. She feels compelled to find the final digit, and quick! <<if $fantasize isnot 1>>The second digit to suite B-3 has been learned: <<= $Blankenship_Code_2>>. <<if $MERCANOID_Blankenship_Quest is 1>><<set $MERCANOID_Blankenship_Quest to 2>><</if>><<link "Back" $MERCANOID_Blankenship_Clip_2>><</link>><</if>>

Mio quickly dismisses the error messages, even as she fears that she'll find the Professor further burdened of breast and further bereft of brains! To her shock, however, the image clears not to a sight of the Elf splayed on her back in mindless bliss... But on her knees, arms flexing and wrapped tight around her massive endowment, milking the Monster on her own terms! Exhaustion and determination dance in interminable opposition across the shuddering of her body against her constant ministrations, against the winces on her face against the burning resolve in those bright coral eyes. Makeup runs, hair clings in loose strands to sweat-slick skin: but still she keeps going, her ample bosom spilling out either side of her own hugging grasp as she lifts up to engulf the Monster's pulsing head!... and then SMACKS back down into his lap, the freak's misshapen muscles tensing each and every time. For her efforts, the beast shows no signs of desire to change positions again - especially not when she dips just a little lower, enough to take his last couple of inches into the heated embrace of her mouth... gentle sucks and drawn out slurps joining the chorus of flesh upon flesh. "Mmmm--wah!" she exclaims as her lips -pop- away from that quivering cock, her tongue hanging free for a moment to let drool slip from her mouth to add to the already ample lubrication glistening between her well-fucked breasts. It's... definitely a lurid display, but the Professor goes on to explain... "Now-- as you can see!-- and in accordance with my hypothesis-- the subject simply isn't-- prepared for such eager-- toppish behaviour from its partners!-- In this position-- I am afforded a number of-- advantages!-- For one, given that I control the-- pace of the encounter now, I-- can avoid swallowing more of the-- subject's almost certainly magically-enhanced... l-loads." The exertion she's feeling is abundantly clear. She has to interrupt herself with each lift and release of her massive mammilla, but it's a change from the flustered gasps and swears of the last two clips -- swears by her standards, Mio assumes. But still she soldiers on, even as the brute's hips begin to twitch and buck in tune with each introduction of pillow-soft, bed-heavy breasts to his body! "--To which, again, I shall demonstrate-- -MmmMMmmmmouugh...-" she cuts herself off, eyes lidding heavily as she once again takes him into her mouth, the sheer amount of lipstick staining the end of that shaft leaving no doubt as to how many times she's done this now. Even as she sucks him, however - bobbing and twisting her head to the best of this positions ability - she keeps those lidded eyes focused on his body, looking for a telltale sign that... ah! She suddenly disengages with a loud gasp, sinking back down, that end of that obscene prick nestled between her shoulder and neck as she tightens the embrace of her chest around his leaping, well-edged girth! With it worn upon her shoulder like some sort of heavy ballistic weapon - tip pointed well away from her face and precious hair! - she jostles and sways her heaving tits around him, pushing him over the edge with a gurgled roar. Mio can only watch in amazement as the fiend's foul seed blasts from him in uneven ropes, arcing over the Professor's shoulder to splash harmlessly down behind her... all as she continues to squeeze and torment the monstrous fellow, not letting his climax end before she sets about dragging her ample breasts up to the tip and settling back into that easier, initial position to resume the process all over again. "As you can see!-- this has reduced my intake-- of the subject's enhanced semen by-- a significant percentage!-- I can feel a substantial recovery-- of my cognitive functions-- though some effects!-- like a bizarre attraction to the frankly hideous visage-- remain! The only issue-- is that I must confess-- that my arms are becoming-- quite tired, a-- problem I can remedy with-- the rejuvenating effects of!-- yes, you guessed it-- the subject's... cum. This, in-- tandem with my arms and often mouth being-- occupied, as it were-- reduce any chance of me-- preparing counterspells in order-- to escape this situation. It would-- appear that-- we are locked-- into!-- a!-- stalemate!--" the Elf's eyes widen as the Monster begins to shudder and hump into her awaiting cleavage, catching her off guard. "B-but as with any-- experiments with!-- living subjects-- change is a constant-- and inevitable!-- state of affairs!-- Therefore, I DO hope-- oh, calm down you wretched stud!-- that I am relieved-- of my burdens-- sooner rather-- than later!-- lest we return-- to the endangerment of my intellect!!-- STARS ABOVE!" she gasps, barely jerking her head to the right before the Monster unleashes another torrent of seed, seemingly no less backed up than it was mere moments ago, eagerly blasting over her shoulder yet again! Mio blinks. If she could blush - in arousal or shame - she certainly would. She didn't even try to look for the keycard this time! With a noise akin to clearing her throat - despite the questions that raises for a mechanical being - she turns her attention to what little of the rest of the room she can see. She needs to play things back a bit - and to keep her eyes glued on anything but the pretty Professor milking that abomination like a pro - but she eventually catches a glimpse of the card, giving her the final digit! Actually, it gives her all three... go figure, this angle is perfect. Now, she just needs to find suite 'B-3'... and hope that these transmissions aren't too old, and that she finds the Professor still in control; rather than totally defeated!

She hopes she'll find her having overcome her captor through her titillating talents, but dreads finding her having slipped deep into addiction. It all depends on just how long ago that transmission was taken... she steps forwards, the door hissing briefly before it begins to slide into the frame, revealing strange, purple light from the bay window out onto the surface of Vi-16. In that gloom, Mio's eyes adjust quicker than most - but the hulking, ill-defined silhouette of the chest-obsessed Monster draws up to her with shocking speed for its size! It didn't look that big in the first clip, but given its intake of milk!... it's quite possible that the big bastard's had a growth spurt. Mio's eyes widen, painting the one-eyed brute's otherwise featureless face with their glow - that's how close it is to grabbing her, an arm outstretched, a bundle of tentacles snaking over its shoulders to try and nab her! She hops back with a snarl, back into the corridor, having had no time to get a visual on the Professor and her state. It should have been enough to get her clear of imminent danger... but that's based off of quick calculations of a foe that contradicts her previous data. Mio gasps again when a misshapen hand closes around her wrist, the plated soles of her feet skidding on the infested tiles below as she's dragged into the room and briefly plucked from the ground, turned in a toss towards the bed! Not good - but it means she has a moment to try and fight back - but she still doesn't know where the Professor is and can't risk hitting her! - but!-- Mio only has about a second to take in the scene before her. Bay window on the right - bed against the north wall. Minor hive infestation, likely generated by this Monster, which now stands turning in the doorway to face her. At the foot of the bed, a figure rising calmly, half-undressed, hair a mess, but still somehow elegant in her movements and in what little attire remains finely tailored to her mature but well-kept curves. Standing a mere handful of feet from the Monster that barely glances her way - that single, bloodshot eye leering at Mio, the new toy, instead - the Elf raises a single hand, utters a strange word that Mio cannot hope to comprehend, and fires a lance of light from her palm. This takes the Monster by surprise as much as it does Mio, briefly casting a harsh, blinding glare through the room as the blast pierces right through the Monster's torso! It bellows out a gurgled noise of shock and confusion, skin bubbling, right arm swelling grotesquely. Havoc plays out across its body - parts of it seem to be rapidly decaying, others growing out of control. With a noise somewhere between panic and betrayal, it suddenly swings its upper body towards the ceiling, its head detaching with a sickening sclurch! The Elf narrows her coral eyes and tracks it with her palm, the head growing a number of short tentacles with which to ferry it across the ceiling as its body collapses behind it. Mio, still stunned from the rapid loss of control over this encounter, watches in surprise as it seemingly makes a beeline for the space above her on the bed! But as she brings up her arms to defend herself from any potential head-grabbing, the runaway brain instead flings itself against the wall... through the wall?!-- No, into a vent! Mio peers through her splayed fingers, blinks, then lowers her arms, twisting around and scooting back to get a better look at the northern wall. A ventilation cover lies broken and bulged from inside-facing force, no doubt the manner in which the Monster - in a much smaller form akin to the one it just escaped with - must have used to infiltrate in the first place. Still stunned, Mio looks over her shoulder at the Professor, who slowly lowers her arm as the glowing glyphs across her palm begin to frazzle and fade. A slight glow in her eyes diminishes as her magic is dismissed - or perhaps runs dry! - and the look of intense concentration and scorn is replaced with a sigh of relief and a warm smile... with just the slightest edge of inquisitive detail-drinking, eyes making subtle little twitches as they fall on every part of Mio except for her face. "Merciful timing on your part! My arms are aching, dear girl. Thank you." <<linkreplace "Oh, uh... you're welcome.">>"Oh, uh... you're welcome." Mio mutters, feeling horribly awkward. This rescue attempt didn't exactly feel heroic, but the Professor seems rather pleased with the outcome. As if to cement that point, Mio's eyes drift onto the collapsed body of the brute in the doorway as it bubbles and dissolves into acrid smoke... whatever she did to that thing, it was incredibly effective. Baffling, but effective. The Professor crosses her arms lightly, a practiced gesture... one that supports her remarkable chest, completely uncovered as one might expect in the aftermath! "Oh? You sound remarkably unsure for a synthetic... ah, Buildborn, I take it? A mercenary, perhaps? You lack any visible identifiers of TentaCo... Hmm. 'Mercanoid'?" the Professor speaks softly, drifting from addressing Mio directly to speaking instead to herself, raising a hand with finger and thumb stretched into a jaw-supporting 'L' as she leans in and squints through her spectacles, able to pick out the fine, block-print writing on Mio's armoured shoulder even from that distance! Elves. Figures. "Hmm. Can't say I've heard of the organization, but you still have my thanks, as mentioned. But from what I read of company protocol, that means you aren't with the expected 'cleaner' crew." she deduces, adjusting her glasses with a finger before returning both arms to supporting her chest. A subtle wince places across her smile - Mio surmises that those weighty things must be sensitive after what she's been through! "You are correct." Mio is quick to respond, now self-aware of her prior, more casual speech. A foolish slip on her part. "I am M10, property of the MERCANOID corporation, here on behalf of TentaCo to secure company property ahead of the arrival of those cleaners." Mio explains, adjusting herself into a crosslegged position on the bed. She grimaces, however, when she realizes just how... 'decorated' the sheets are. Unable to keep that look of dismay off of her face, she shifts to the nearest edge of the bed - the window-side west - and swings her legs over to stand up, the Professor tilting her head. "Oh? Should you be telling me that sort of thing? I'm not an employee of this organization." she informs the Android with bemusement in her tone and on her face. Mio, now standing straight - a head shorter than the Professor - fails to keep an abashed smile off of her face. "Secrecy wasn't in my mission briefing, Professor." she admits with a shrug - only to wince when the Elf's inquisitive eyes narrow in advance of another correct deduction. "Which makes it very likely that rescuing employees and civilians isn't part of your mission... Hmm. You're an odd one, 'M10'. You hesitated before giving that name, so I will assume it is not your preferred moniker. It is the one you gave, however, and I shall respect it and repay it in kind: I am Professor Blankenship of the Techromancers, here on scenic Vi-16 as part of a research trade-pact." the Elf introduces herself with a slight bow, before straightening back up into excellently stoic posture. "Of course, things have been a little more... interactive, than I expected. My room was compromised and I was caught off guard - I could probably have dealt with most of the designs created by this facility, but this specific prototype has a knack for feasting on magic... ugh, I feel dry as a bone. I kept some in reserve for that biological cascade spell, but no more than that. I was stuck waiting for a window of opportunity, which you handily provided! So, again: thank you... 'M10.'" she trails off before addressing Mio once more, giving a little wink. It's almost a taunt, and it's one Mio falls for with a slight sigh. Pretending to be an emotionless drone around this woman is just going to spur annoying questions. "And again, you're welcome. And... yeah, fine, call me Mio. It's a long story, just don't mention any of my particular 'quirks' if you're given a post-operation survey message, please?" the Android asks with a hint of concern in her voice. Understanding the situation immediately, Blankenship frowns but nods. "Hrmm... very well, Mio. Although if you weren't supposed to rescue me in the first place, then I should very much doubt that I'd be receiving any such communication to begin with! Hah~. Regardless - I should very much like to stretch my legs and leave this blasted room, seeing as it is now even more woefully insecure than it already was. I don't suppose there's a stronghold to hand?..." she trails off with an expectant lift to her voice. Mio nods and motions to the doorway, the Monster having all but entirely melted away by now. "Yes. up in the north sector. The checkpoint gates are open. Take a left int--" "Ah, the construction site for the expanded staff habitation decks? Of course! Disconnected from the grid. Perfect place. Well, you've done more than enough for me, Mio: I'll see myself there, if it's all the same to you." Blankenship insists, giving another slight bow before she turns and gathers the various parts of her scattered attire... and, of course, that fancy witch's hat. She dresses herself on the move, but as she leaves, Mio can't help but overhear a frustrated sigh as she wrestles with her corset... Hrmm. There's no way that thing is fitting back on just yet.

<> A large vent cover. Mio should be able to crawl through it, with an internal checkpoint door separating the complex from the rest of the facility. It should be possible to create a straight line to her base of operations in the southern storage module... but first, she needs to get it open. A heavy, thick-barred grate blocks her access. It's wide enough that she can get her arm through. There's a release mechanism inside - a large, tempting red button. Unfortunately, it's just deep enough that Mio can't reach it from this side. <<link "(LIFT $Player_skill_lift_actual/4) Pull the grate off with brute force."

She adjusts herself into a better stance for weightlifting, for that is essentially her task here! She wraps a hand around a bar of the grate each, taking a firm grip and giving a few testing tugs to give an idea of the grates weight and how firmly it's fixed into the wall. Given the release mechanism button beckoning to her from behind it, it's clear that it must recess... which means it's pretty damn far set. However, this gives her an angle: rather than pulling the grate off, she can force it along its existing track! Bracing herself - and quickly redistributing some extra power to her legs, arms and back - Mio identifies that the grate slides to the left. Leaning harshly to that side, she digs her heels in and tenses, pulling to the left. It's not quite working... at first. She gets the idea to hook her right foot against the edge of the vent, and that does it! It's slow, but sure: Mio manages to pry the grate open, just long enough to reach in and hit the button to unlock the mechanism. Succes-- wah!

Crunching the numbers, it's clear that while her arm will fit, it won't reach. The button looks too firm to press with anything she has to hand that could extend her reach, too. She glances down at the vent again, then further, blinking as an idea comes to her... now staring down at her own leg. It won't fit with the armour modules... but it IS long enough, if she can get a good angle. Hmm. Kneeling down onto her left knee, Mio sets about removing the armour plating from her right - disengaging a number of mechanical enhancers as she does so, stripping her limb down to the skeletal metal basics beneath. Creepy, but thin. Carefully, she shuffles up to the vent, sits herself down before it, and then scoots in closer; leg slipping between the bars. It's an awkward angle, but with a twist Mio kips her other leg up against the wall... giving her just enough reach to bend her foot towards the button. Push... push!... -Click!- Mio grins in triumph as she pulls back, careful not to snag any of her exposed mechanical parts against the bars.

Even without dropping low, she can just about make out the shiny red release button's edge, mocking her with its inaccessibility. If only she could reach out, and... ... Hang on. Mio raises an arm, flexing her fingers. She grins, then immediately sets off downstairs to the workstation - soon emerging a little more lopsided than usual... holding her detached hand in her other! She squats down before the vent and places her hand down. It's still for a moment... before it suddenly springs into life, 'standing' upon its fingers as it turns to 'face' Mio, middle finger pointed at her like an all-seeing eye. "Theeere we go. Hey, me. Just crawl inside and hit that button, ok? If you brace with your little finger and thumb, you should be able to exert enough force." Mio explains. Her own hand stares at her dumbfoundedly for a moment, then turns around and marches through the wide-barred grate, muffled finger-falls becoming loud, cacophonic clanks as it enters the metal of the vent. "That's it! A little further... off to the left--" -CLANK- "Oh for the love of-- your OTHER left! There! Just push that, and!.. Ah!" Mio grins as the grate's release mechanism hums, the magnetic lock disengaging. With her other hand, she reaches down and simply slides the grate into the wall's recess, beckoning her hand to return to her.

Could you possibly elaborate on that? What did TentaCo want from you, exactly?" Mio inquires, her mind trailing back to Meh, the slime-hewn Serpent back in the Monster Pens. Purple body. While her mind's eyes focuses on that, her actual eyes flit between Ru'Drexi and Powder, red and blue respectively, one hewn from gel and the other from... well. Helzent are more complicated, but Mio goes with 'putty'. Thankfully, neither of them seem offended by the question. "Nothing too odd. They wanted samples of our bodies, mostly. That might be a big deal for a lot of other species, but for our twinned kinds? No problem. Can grow it back in a jiff, for one. And it doesn't really hurt, either. We kinda rule like that." Powder lazily explains with a confident smile, motioning to himself and to his wife. Ru'Drexi nods along, then pinches her exposed shoulder with her opposing hand and tugs - she yanks off a small chunk of herself, the gap created filling up instantly! "Mmhmm! Don't need a core for it, either. I'm not surprised TentaCo wanna see what makes us tick - we Jelli make their Globs look like Glorbs." she huffs with a sly smirk, rolling the red, see-through little chunk of herself in her gloved hands to make a perfect ball. Mio has absolutely no idea what a Glorb is, but given Powder's grimace and the context, she can only assume that was a damning comment. Her eyes track Ru'Drexi's ball back and forth for a moment in thought, and then she nods. "I see..." she eventually remarks. It seems pretty obvious that 'Meh' has been born of this research - quite literally! Mio cups her chin in her hand, then glances at the pair again as Ru'Drexi plants that ball back onto her shoulder, the two separate masses joining and then assimilating back into proper shape. "Say, have you two ever thought about having kids?" she inquires, 'innocently'. The question leaves the couple silent for a moment, blinking at one another. "I mean, I'm kinda tryin' here." Powder admits with a smirk. Ru'Drexi gasps, but then turns a sly grin around on him. "Huh, coulda fooled me. Put your back into it more and maybe it'll pay off, 'kay?~" she giggles, the two getting distracted enough with one another that Mio can easily slip away from the topic. Well, they're evidently open to the idea of having kids... that's good news, seeing as they're about to get one. Mio should share her suspicions with Meh, back at the Monster Pens. <><<include "Ru'Drexi Speech">>

There's a space we've set up to--" Mio pauses as Meh looks over her shoulder with a glare, then slumps back down, facing away from the Android once more. Mio sighs, then resumes. "... a space set up to keep people out of harm's way. You'd be welcome there, so long as yo--" "Snnnnnrrrrrrrrrrr..." 'Meh' snores unconvincingly. Mio rolls her eyes, exacerbated. "The Cleaners are probably going to end up power-washing you to death if you don't talk to them first, or have people in your court to defend you! Y--" "SNNNNRRRRRK..." Mio sighs, waving her off with a scowl. Fine, be that way. Ugh, maybe there's some information she could find to help convince the snake... or perhaps she should just let the stubborn Serpent deal with the bed she's making for herself.

Mio says softly, going to sit upon the edge of the overturned gurney half-sunk into the imitation swamp, staring up at Meh from her branch. The 'Slammia' takes a moment to bother responding, but eventually, she twists on the spot to face Mio, a brow raised, a smirk on her face. "Awwww. What, you mean you? Gunna help me learn about my fee-fees? Gunna fix me, make me less of a bitch? That's fuckin' hilarious." Meh snickers, hissing through her fangs cruelly. Mio rolls her eyes, then smirks right back, catching Meh off guard. "Not as such, no. It's just that I think I've met your parents, and they're here in the facility still." she reveals, and finally, Meh shuts up. Her eyes widen, pupils thinned to pinpricks as she stares at Mio with her baleful gaze. "... What? Don't be an asshole. I don't have parents, I was born in a fucking tube." she spits. Mio snorts at that. "And? Lots of people are born in tubes these days. That doesn't mean you came from nothing. I'm pretty much certain that you were created from modified samples of two people here - Ru'Drexi, a Jelli, and Powder Snow, a Helzent. They're a couple, and a lot of what you can do - what I saw, anyway - is mirrored in their natural abilities. You're something... new, yeah. Something TentaCo didn't expect. Something they won't be expecting, either. But they're effectively your parents, and my impression of them has been that they're good people." Mio explains, picking at the frayed edge of the gurney's mattress with her finger and thumb. She turns her attention back onto Meh, finding that her glare is more of a far-away stare at nothing in particular, now. "... Do they know?" she asks, quietly. Mio shakes her head. She considers lying, to force the issue and make the choice for her, but... that doesn't feel right. No, Mio just gives her the truth and leaves her with the option. Meh stews over it for a while, her skin bubbling, her eyes narrowed as she gazes at the swamp below. Finally, she speaks. "... Fine. I guess I could give 'em a shot. Anyone ever tell you you're a nosey little fucker?" Meh sneers, uncoiling from the branch, her tail gathering like dropped from above as she returns to the ground. Mio smirks with a shake of her head and a shrug. "I don't usually get to be nosey. But it's good to try new things. Go find out for yourself. Safe Room's out the door to the south, second on the right - 'Research Dormitory'." Mio explains, and Meh turns her attention to the door. The snake huffs, shoots Mio one last look and then slithers past her, leaving long before the rest of her tail does. Mio sits in silence for a moment, then dismounts from the gurney and plants her hands on her hips, giving the swamp habitat one last look. Ru'Drexi and Powder are in for a surprise...

Well - the polite parts. Her more complex sensor suite remains trained on their surroundings, but Mio herself faces the woman with a slight smile, returned by a beaming, warm look of adoration from the Researcher. "Like, I must say, you handled TCM-14 with aplomb! Even without the strangely boosted parameters this outbreak seems to have blessed his strain with, he can totally be a handful to his handlers! I'll confess that I'm somewhat fond of the precocious brute, but perhaps not enough to tolerate... quite as much affection as I've been put through these last few... erm, hours? I confess I've lost track of the time..." the Elf admits, sighing as she tries to tame her usually silken hair - thoroughly 'conditioned' as it is by secretions from the hive. Mio blinks. Partially at the choice of term 'affections' for what was, as far as she saw, a body-pinning mating press... but mostly at how eloquent the Elf sounds the more she talks. Until the end there, anyway. The Elf seems to catch herself from distraction however, her smile returning warmly as she performs a bow towards the Synthetic. "Regardless! You, like, totally have my gratitude! A talented fighter and so polite, too. My name is Selene, and I am in your debt, Buildborn. Are the other Cleaners otherwise occupied?" she inquires, tilting her head. Mio grimaces, rubbing her arm. Buildborn... she wishes. "... I apologize, but you have the wrong idea. I'm not one of the Cleaners. I'm here on separate business to secure the payload currently loaded onto the SLED - I believe corporate wants to salvage what it can. I'm... also not a Buildborn. My name is... M10, and I am the property of the MERCANOID Company." she explains, trying to keep her tone monotonous and her vocabulary neutral. It's a moot effort, of course: Selene has just seen her fight a major foe, seen her tactics, her methods, her reactions to harm and stimulation alike. The news that Mio isn't a free woman clearly baffles her, twisting her until-now delighted smile into a frustrated pout. "That's... oh. I see. I'm sorry... ah! But hang on-- this is nowhere near the Sled Bay! You must know this, so presumably, the fact that you're this far north means the checkpoint must be closed. Am I right? Well-- here!" she gasps, reaching for the Keycard in her pocket, presenting it to Mio gently clutched in both hands, bowing as she does so: she is, after all, quite a bit taller than the 'Droid. Mio blinks, then accepts it, turning it over in her hands. It very clearly isn't Selene's, but it's a higher clearance than her current one. Mio glances up at Selene as she straightens back up, her smile returning. "If HQ wants the shipment, they're likely intending on using it to investigate how this outbreak happened - to look for clues in the DNA. After all, this might not be an isolated incident - perish the thought. I don't like that our rescue is playing second fiddle, but I understand the intention. Still... I hope that card helps you complete your mission... 'M10'. You totally go by 'Mio', don't you?" she accuses with a cheeky wink, planting her hands on her hips. Mio splutters slightly, called out with such ease! "I... yes. Thank for you the Keycard. Just... if you get a post-mission review mail over the 'Net, please don't report any of my, uh, 'eccentricities'." Mio sighs, pocketing the Keycard. Selene pouts again at that... and then almost lunges forwards, surprising Mio with a tight hug against her chest, bewildering the Android into silence. "I'm sorry, darling." she says quietly, then releases her. Mio blinks, glances away, and then nods - keeping her face stoic, even as emotions flare inside her head and around her core. M-moving on... "You should proceed to the safe room we've set up - if you're familiar with a Gremlin named Dizz, she's turned the Research Dormitory into a fortified area." Mio explains, changing the subject. Selene glances to the door - and to the chasm of slime beyond - and then back to Mio, nodding. "Oh! Dizz, yes. Nice girl. Good head on her shoulders, as usual. I'll proceed there now! Hopefully, I won't need you to rescue me again... not that I'd mind being rescued by you again, cutie. Promise you'll come see me there!~" Selene giggles, patting Mio on the head - minding the horn - as she steps past her, once again leaving the Android lost for words. She turns as Selene - now steadier on her feet but still a little wobbly - heads west, out the door. Mio glances down and waits a while, going over some thoughts and feelings in her head. Another person who can see she doesn't deserve to be classified as what she is. Her hands ball into fists, then relax. She tilts her head up and back, sighs, then tunes back into the background noise of moans and stifled sighs all around her, the hive no less vibrant for the loss of a single Monster and a single Bride. Level 2 Keycard acquired! The southern checkpoint is now accessible.

<> <<set $tile_up to "no">> <<set $tile_left to "no">> <<set $tile_down to "no">> <<set $tile_right to "no">> Well, this is it. Just past this door lies the Sled, Mio's target. All she has to do is get inside, check that it isn't infested, and then launch it - either from within the chamber or from an observation deck located just to the south. Mio feels a strange apprehension as she places a hand over the door's control pad, but banishes it from her thoughts. She pushes and waits. ... And waits. And pushes it again, then double-takes at the pad, now slowly flashing red. One long flash, two quicker ones... of course. It's jammed shut. "I hope this facility explodes." Mio mutters simply, crossing her arms as she peers through the blast door's narrow little observation porthole, itself scratched and dinked from dozens of launches from the system's original booster-based model. Now it's a magnetic rail launch system, but the damage inflicted by its predecessor remains. Mio frowns as she stares through what is effectively frosted glass, just about able to make out a short figure standing before the Sled, gesticulating over-dramatically with one arm, as if talking to someone. Company. Hrmm. But more worrying than that is the Sled itself. Mio runs a quick comparison and estimation of the size and profile of it compared to the schematic provided by TentaCo in her mission pack, and the mismatch is immediate and obvious. That's far too big to be the Sled. Mio purses her lips to one side, not sure what to make of the situation. After all this, has her objective been compromised? Is that figure the Researcher who ran from her when she arrived? What's going on in there?... she scowls, looking at the control panel's flashing lights again. A quick flick of her eyes across its surface reveals what Mio was looking for - a source-trace button. Pressing it, she jumps slightly when the door behind her, to the east, whooshes open - MAINTENANCE emblazoned next to it. Alright. Climb down a hole and unjam the door. One last bit of busywork between her, and whatever awaits in the Sled chamber... <<link "Back to the mission." "Engineering Annex 1-2">><</link>> <>

A marriage of industrial reinforcement and well-historied metals, scorched in rainbow slicks by dozens of old launches, now flanking new rail systems - one large, central one, and several smaller ancillary rails built into the floor for additional boost or the launching of smaller packages. The blast door into this chamber opens, to Mio's relief - and to the shock of the girl standing before her further inside the chamber. The Researcher spins around on the spot, her soft ginger hair briefly flicking out of her face to reveal wild eyes before her fringe settles back into place, obscuring them from sight. Just like when Mio saw her earlier, she's remarkably unsullied by the organic horrors of the hive. By now, Mio regards this with a healthy amount of suspicion as she walks into the bay, eyes flitting between the flabbergasted redhead and the Sled... At least, Mio thinks that's the Sled. It has to be, but it's... pulsating. A thick, orange-toned variety of hive-growth clings to the usually sleek, bullet-shaped escape vessel, easily doubling its size and throwing its profile completely off. However, in the brief time it takes her to fully step into the bay, she can see that the growth is shifting in shape, smoothing out, slowly but surely taking on a form more suitable for launch. <<if $MERCASAVED gte 6>> "Wait... I know you." the redhead speaks, Mio's attention snapping back onto her from the infested Sled. She stands with a slightly off stance, staring just past her fringe with a slightly off expression. Off. That's the impression she gives, just a shade too far of uncanny in ways Mio can't explain, but can certainly detect. It adds to the sense of wrong that her clean and kempt appearance gives - lab assistant's coat so white, hair so silken and brushed smooth. "You're the one! You're the one who's been..." the girl trails off, her hand balling into a fist before she points accusingly at Mio, stepping forward on one foot with a growl that's probably meant to sound intimidating but falls far south of that goal. "You're the one who's been robbing people of their bliss!" she accuses with a huff, eyes gleaming from behind her fringe. Mio blinks, then points towards herself in confusion. "I have no idea what that means, or what you're talking about. Or who you are, or what you're doing here, or why you ran earlier!" Mio groans, wishing very much that she was on board that Sled and on her way to mission's end right now. The girl gasps in disbelief, as though unable to believe the audacity of this Android! "So many people that I've made happy with my friends! But then you come along, beat them up, and take those people away! What is your problem!?" the girl demands, stamping her foot. Mio is lost for words for a moment, but then her eyes catch something odd - the way the girl's foot squashes against the floor at an unnatural angle, as though she had no bones. "Well!? Not got anything to say for yourself, huh? You just like making people unhappy, is that it? Maybe you need to experience it for yourself to understand it..." she continues, her tone softening as she reasons herself into a rational explanation. It's like watching someone trying to complete a puzzle with half the pieces missing, though... and then it clicks to Mio. This pretty elf standing before her... isn't. "... You're some kind of Tentacle-spawn, aren't you? And I'm guessing this outbreak is your doing." Mio hypothesizes, planting a hand on her hip. The girl's erratic emotional swings, her imperfect logic-- in some ways, it's like looking into a mirror of herself. The girl startles, then raises her hands in a denying sweep. Unfortunately for her, Mio notices she's got one finger too many on her right hand. "Look, there's no point pretending anymore." Mio deadpans, raising a brow as she stands impassively. The girl blinks... then pouts, puffing her fringe up with a huff from her lips. Her right arm - the one with too many fingers on its hand - suddenly takes on a pale coral tone as it unravels from deep within the coat's sleeve, twisting into a trio of tentacles, hand splitting into forked tips upon each one. Her fringe adjusts slightly as weaves of her hair quiver and twitch with sudden life to them, and the leg that briefly crumpled earlier slithers as she half-stands, half-hovers in place. "You jerk... fine! You stand before Mimi, Queen of Mimics!! Maybe if you kneel, I'll show you some mercy, you poor misguided Robot. I dunno what you think you're doing here, but you don't seem to realize that you're the bad guy! I'm making people happy by doing what I'm meant to do - what we're meant to do! We relieve stress, we help people stop thinking, stop worrying... I wanted to do that forever. But you're trying to stop me!?" she gasps in outrage. <<else>> "Wait, who the heck are you!? You're not from TentaCo!" the redhead gasps, Mio's attention snapping back onto her from the infested Sled. She stands with a slightly off stance, staring just past her fringe with a slightly off expression. Off. That's the impression she gives, just a shade too far of uncanny in ways Mio can't explain, but can certainly detect. It adds to the sense of wrong that her clean and kempt appearance gives - lab assistant's coat so white, hair so silken and brushed smooth. "Gooooh!! I don't know who you are, but I'm busy over here, ok? Get out of here, or I'll..." the girl trails off, her hand balling into a fist before she points at Mio, stepping forward on one foot with a growl that's probably meant to sound intimidating but falls far south of that goal. "I'll just have to take you with us!" she insists with a huff, eyes gleaming from behind her fringe. Mio blinks and glances back to the Sled with a frown. 'Us'? So, that infestation is the girl's doing... somehow. "Take me with you? To where? What are you doing to the Sled, and how?" Mio asks with a sigh, wishing very much that she was on board that Sled and on her way to mission's end right now. The girl huffs and plants her hands on her hips, a smirk gracing her face. "Isn't it obvious, Miss Robot? I'm gunna spread my gift to the stars beyond!" the girl exclaims, stamping her foot with an excited sweep of her arm towards the massive bay launch window to the twinkling void above. Mio is lost for words for a moment, but then her eyes catch something odd - the way the girl's foot squashes against the floor at an unnatural angle, as though she had no bones. "Sounds good, right? Such a good plan that you're lost for words, right? Don't worry! That's the point! I'm gunna make it so people don't have to think anymore. No more thinkin', no more stressin'! That's what we do best!~" she explains with a warm smile, her tone eager, completely detached from the pulsating horror behind her. It's like watching someone trying to complete a puzzle with half the pieces missing... and then it clicks to Mio. This pretty elf standing before her... isn't. "... You're some kind of Tentacle-spawn, aren't you? And I'm guessing this outbreak is your doing." Mio hypothesizes, planting a hand on her hip. The girl's strange vision of this outbreak, and of what further infestation would mean for the Galaxy... her imperfect logic-- in some ways, it's like looking into a mirror of herself. The girl startles, then raises her hands in a denying sweep. Unfortunately for her, Mio notices she's got one finger too many on her right hand. "Look, there's no point pretending anymore." Mio deadpans, raising a brow as she stands impassively. The girl blinks... then pouts, puffing her fringe up with a huff from her lips. Her right arm - the one with too many fingers on its hand - suddenly takes on a pale coral tone as it unravels from deep within the coat's sleeve, twisting into a trio of tentacles, hand splitting into forked tips upon each one. Her fringe adjusts slightly as weaves of her hair quiver and twitch with sudden life to them, and the leg that briefly crumpled earlier slithers as she half-stands, half-hovers in place. "You jerk... fine! You stand before Mimi, Queen of Mimics!! Everything I said still stands, though! I'm getting out of here. I've done everything I can here! I've made everyone happy, given them playmates who won't tire out, who'll keep them busy forever and ever... but then those Cleaners are gunna show up and ruin everything. So, I'm gunna take my Knight, and together we'll grow an army so we can liberate this Galaxy, together!" she exclaims, her grin widening. "In fact... why don't I introduce you to him? We have room for another passenger, I think~..." <</if>> Before Mio can interject, the chamber begins to rumble in ways it most certainly shouldn't! She staggers before gyro-stabilization kicks in, the Android's eyes widening as the lump of flesh upon the Sled begins to shift and grow and swell before her eyes. Mimi doesn't seem surprised in the slightest, though. The Mimic mutant glances over her shoulder and sneers as the massive Hive abomination takes form... The hulking brute is far bigger than anything Mio's fought today. Possibly bigger than anything she's ever come up against. It's tall enough to reach into the shadows of the high-vaulted ceiling, a gigantic cycloptic beast welded to the Sled from the waist up like some awful Djinn. Thick, pulsing veins of pink and purple run down the orange-hewn Monster's massive, muscled arms, its single eye narrowing down at Mio as its torso takes on a crystalline sheen, writhing, feminine shapes shadowed within it. "Why do we persist here? Why are we not amongst the stars? What is that... little thing? It is shaped like a woman... but made of pieces." the abomination bellows, a mouth splitting into being from end to end of its neckless 'face'. It's so damn loud! Mio winces, staggering back slightly as Mimi huffs and turns back to face her. "I think she's a late passenger, my dear knight! Let me go get her... situated, for our trip." the Mimic huffs, her pout returning as she regards Mio with a glare, tentacle arm whipping against the ground by her side. "Hang on! I don't know what you think you're doing, but-- oh, damn it..." Mio sighs, shoulders slumping, resigning herself to yet another battle. One more. Just one more... <<link "Prepare to fight." "Combat Enemy Mimi Intro">><<set $Prior_Location to passage()>><</link>> <>

<> "Hmph. Can you not pass this hurdle by yourself, oh Queen?" rumbles that cacophonic voice from above, catching both Mio and Mimi off guard. In truth, caught up in fighting the mutated Mimic, Mio had completely forgotten about the elephant in the room. She cranes her neck back with a grimace as the massive mutant crosses its arms across its barrel chest, single, bloodshot eye glaring down at its enfeebled Mistress. Mimi frowns, glancing from it to Mio, from Mio to it, so clearly unsure of herself and what to do next. "I... I--" she starts, then stops with a hiccup of frustration. The 'Travesty' - that seems to be the best word Mio can find for it - leans down from on high, planting a massive hand next to Mimi as it flexes upon it, resting mere feet away from here, dominating both women's visions with its sheer bulk - an eyeball bigger than the two of them combined glaring at them like some cosmic horror from beyond the stars behind him. "You... are upset. Dismayed. Distraught. Stressed. All the things that you tell me that we exist to solve. Is that right?" The Travesty bellows, its baritone sending rumbles through Mio's circuits, making her grit her teeth. Mimi is even closer than she is, so she can't imagine what the Mimic is feeling right now. She sniffles again, reaching a tentacle up to wipe at her eyes. "W-well yeah!! This mean Robot comes out of nowhere and-and-and-- she's messin' with my plan and-and-and!!-- Oooh, make her go away, that's your job!!" Mimi huffs with an angry little yell pointing at Mio. A slight twitch in the Travesty's eye is all it takes to refocus on the Android... but then it flicks back onto Mimi instead. "... Very well. But I have observed this 'Robot' and her strength. She is powerful. And you... are weak. Compromised. A bundle of every single emotion you insist I exist to erase." he bellows, as Mimi's eyes widen. She shakes her head, but the Travesty pushes up off from the floor and straightens up as the crystal growth in its chest suddenly opens up, revealing an interior lined with too many tentacles to count. "I will defeat your foe. I will erase your pain. Come, oh 'Queen'... and surrender yourself and your power to me!" he orders - and in that moment, a wall of tentacles erupts from his chest like a shotgun blast. Mio dodges backwards as tentacles slam into the ground before her, a wall that easily engulfs the wide-eyed Mimi. They retract in an instant, most of them instantly... but a few of them slower, all coiled tightly around Mimi's body, slithering under her coat, finally sullying her formerly immaculate imitation. "W-wait! Not me!! You're not supposed to-- Nghh?!-- Hang on--MPGH!!--" she protests and squirms, only to be silenced by a thick tentacle wrapping around her throat once, twice... and then pushing firmly past her lips, spreading them taut, reducing her words to muffled squeals as she's stripped and reeled in, practically mummified even before she's pulled into the Travesty's chest. "Why not you? What makes you different? What makes you undeserving of the happiness I bring? The bliss I enforce? Cease your squirming. Accept that your plan does not exempt you." the Travesty bellows out, spreading its arms as the crystal begins to reform across its chest. Mio, teeth gritted, can only watch as Mimi is spun around, back dragged against the fleshy inner walls of the brute, her eyes wide in shock... before they cross and roll inwards as she's halfway engulfed in flesh, right as the crystal slams back shut. "You will soon have company... and then our work shall begin in earnest." the abomination insists, crossing its arms once more, bloodshot eye audibly slickening within its socket as it turns to glare down at Mio. Beholding her sickened glare, it reacts with a simple, two-tone chuckle. "Defiance. You wear it attractively, machine. Perhaps there is value in these negative emotions, after all... even if only in their slow, gradual eradication. Are you ready to join me? To join your King?" the beast cackles mockingly, then flexes. Mio watches as the writhing shadow of Mimi fades amongst a growing glow from within the Travesty, pulling energy from her and into him, those already bulging veins beginning to swell to absurd size as they glow brightly. The Travesty roars from the power surge, doubles over!... and then straightens back out with a hunch from a sudden surge in muscle mass, looking more imposing than it already was! Mio can't fight that. Not like this. She staggers back, eyes glancing around the bay erratically for any kind of solution. Magnetic launching rails... the Sled itself... assorted tools, mostly mundane. With her jaw clenched, Mio glares up at the laughing monstrosity. At the way it's made another's decisions for her. As she beholds the orange brute, she instead beholds red. Funny. From this angle, it almost looks like Ziajol. "B4B3..." Mio starts, glancing behind her and adjusting her backstepping slightly, one of the ancillary magnetic rails lying behind her. "My core's power inhibitors. Override them. Shut them off." Mio orders, slowly taking another step back, eyes darting from the Travesty's face to its arms, carefully looking for any twitch that might signal its impending attack. "Whoa, whoa!! No, that could blow you up!" B4B3 protests in shock. "I can't-" "Please!" Mio hisses through her teeth. A single beat of silence later... and she feels it. Akin to a heart suddenly beating twice as fast, Mio almost doubles over from a sudden, unguarded surge, her HUD flashing amber and then red. She ignores it and plants her foot on the rail, sending a clamping command down - a magnetic response energizing it. Mio's eyes flare brightly as energy surges into her body, heat haze immediately pouring from her limbs. Emergency repair programs, redistribution of power to her limbs... Mio's look of mounting despair turns into a mixture of righteous anger and confidence, a glaring grin up at the Travesty as it pauses in its mocking looming, eye narrowing down at the Android as lightning overflows and crackles from her horn. <<link "Finish this." "Combat Enemy Travesty Intro">><</link>> <>

<<if $MERCA_Ending_Good lte 1>><<set $MERCA_Ending_Good to 1>><</if>>Mio draws closer to the Mimic, but she hugs her knees tightly and turns away with a silent huff, refusing to speak to her. Mio sighs and pauses, fixing the girl with a neutral stare. She's clearly neutralized, drained of both power and will to carry out her plans. Furthermore... she clearly doesn't want to speak to Mio, who has a job to do. The Android lingers for a moment longer, then starts back south, satisfied that the remaining biological gunk upon the Sled poses no risk of contamination. Time to launch this damn thing... and then, it'll be off to the next mission. And the next, and the next, and the next... <<link "Get to Observation." "MERCANOID Neutral Ending 2">><</link>>

<<if $MERCA_Ending_Good lte 2>><<set $MERCA_Ending_Good to 2>><</if>>As Mio draws closer to Mimi, the Mimic looks away sharply, withdrawing further into herself; but careful not to disturb the makeshift blankets she's formed over the other two women. It's difficult for even Mio's finely-tuned aural sensors to pick up, but she hears the question: 'why?' "Why?" the monster asks again, either refusing or unable to rise from her knees, splayed out uncomfortably below and aside herself. "Why did you pull my charges from their bliss? I only want to make them happy... I-it's my job! I want to be good at my job! Otherwise... why am I here?" she whimpers, shutting her eyes tightly and hugging herself, light gleaming wetly at the corners of her eyes as she all but shuts down. Mio remains where she stands for a good while until her mind is made up. She walks over to Mimi, crouching to one knee in front of her and placing a hand upon her shoulder, startling her from her trembling, silent state, eyes shooting open but refusing to blink lest those tears fall, as though trying desperately to will them back into her head. Mio fixes her with a somewhat hard look - sympathetic, but almost disappointed. "Would you have rather stayed inside the big guy? You were 'happy', sure, but from in there... how were you supposed to get anything you want to do done? These emotions you're feeling are a big part of life, as I've come to understand it. But only a part, nothing more." the Synthetic sighs, glancing down to the Travesty's other two well-fucked victims. Smiling in shut-eyed stupor, yes... but no doubt aching in the morning to come. Mimi tracks her gaze for a moment before sniffling, glistening eyes falling back on Mio shortly before she looks back to Mimi. "Never heard of 'too much of a good thing'? It's all a balancing act. I know the bad emotions hurt, but you don't get anywhere by ignoring them... it just makes it worse when they finally spring free." "B-but--" "You're about to cry, Mimi. It's ok. Stop holding it back." the Android smiles reassuringly, even as she feels the burning hypocrisy of praising an act she's incapable of doing herself. Mimi sniffles into a choked hiccup, then, to Mio's surprise and brief alarm, wraps her tentacled arms around the 'Droid and holds her tightly, quietly wailing into her chest. Unsure of what to do at first, Mio sucks in her lower lip a tad to bite it and returns the hug, throwing in an awkward pat on the back but stopping short of any 'there there's. This is... very much out of her field of expertise, but she can't deny a strange warmth as Mimi unleashes her confusion, frustration and grief in shuddering sobs that make her slick figure wobble, losing solid cohesion as she simply lets it all out. Something wet falls on Mio's cheek, and she blinks in surprise - only for the sensation to repeat as a result. Raising one arm from the crying monstergirl's back, Mio dabs at her cheek with two fingers, confused to see them catch the light with moisture when she pulls her hand back to investigate. She blinks, and the speckle becomes a trickle, and Mio finally realizes that she should, perhaps, take her own advice. She redoubles her hugging hold on Mimi and unleashes her bottled-up frustrations in her own way, with a silent dignity at odds with Mimi's off-tempo, muffled wails, the two girls displaying such difference in their similarity. This torso is meant to imitate organic life, yes. But the head is nothing new. Some things can't be taught, only learned. Even years later, at this moment, Mio realizes she still has so much learning to do herself. Mio isn't sure how much time passes, there on the ground, Mimi squished so tightly to her body that the softer girl practically molds and reshapes to the grooves of the Android's hard-case mechanical segments. But over that time, Mimi's quaking begins to subside, and her whines dull down to nigh-silent breathing. "If... if this isn't my job... then what is? What if I don't know what I am? Why I'm here?" she asks so quietly that even Mio struggles to hear it. Surprising herself again, Mio snorts and shakes her head, smiling brightly down at Mimi as the Mimic looks up in confusion, the reassuring look reflected back in the alien's huge eyes, tired and wet with tears. "Sounds normal to me. That just means you're alive. Those are questions you're going to ask yourself again and again and again, but one day, you might find an answer. It doesn't have to be the 'right' one. The 'right' one doesn't exist. It's simply what feels right, what you like, what you want to do..." Mio trails off, suddenly returning to her deadpan default look. She raises an arm and lightly bops Mimi upon the dread-like tentacles that form her hair, earning a surprised 'weh!?' from the Mimic who flails slightly in alarm before calming back down at the sight of Mio's subtle smirk. "So long as it isn't at the cost of what -others- want to do with their life. Understand?" "... Not really..." Mimi grumbles in a breaking voice that betrays that, in fact, she does. Or, at the very least, is now considering it. Mio finally begins to rise, hands gliding onto Mimi's shoulders before she stands up fully. Now towering above the Mimic, Mio's cheeks still sparkle in the harsh industrial light, wet with those conjured tears. A repurposed function of her gynoid body? Magic? The reason is less important than the fact of it. "You will. It'll just take time." the Synthetic smiles warmly, turning on her heel and heading back south towards the exit, eager to end this ordeal of a mission... a strange glow in her chest as she wipes her eyes with a single finger, relishing in this new feeling of 'catharsis'. "You might want to put your disguise back on before the Cleaners show up." Mio adds, glancing over her shoulder and giving the girl a casual salute. Mimi is left staring after Mio as she leaves... before her attention turns to the two women splayed out either side of her, the Mimic grimacing at the unpleasant pangs in her chest. Guilt. It hurts, but it can be fixed. <<link "Get to Observation." "MERCANOID Good Ending 2">><</link>>

There's a long, drawn out pause where nothing happens - not even the reader dares to make a beep, leaving Mio unsure if it even works at all. Has everything she's done been a complete waste of time? Is she stuck on this end of the facility? Could she, perhaps, find a way outside to access the Bay from the exterior? Fallback plans begin to formulate in her mind. She even pings B4B3 and begins to bounce caclulations off of her, sharing in processing power as they go over what they've mapped of the facility, over Mio's own specs, about whether she could survive such a trip. Then, the reader beeps. The good kind of beep! Mio blinks out of her self-inflicted stupor and steps back as the massive checkpoint door groans and begins to open, sinking down into the ground as slowly as the first door did. It's no less agonizing, but Mio is relieved to see significantly less hive-infestation beyond it. Just a smear to the south wall, actually. Even so, the wait is torture. Mio ends up finishing those calculations just to have something to do, breaking from them every second to pulse her sensor suite and ensure nothing is coming to investigate this noise, nothing eager to explore this new avenue of the base that was withheld from them. But strangely? Nothing comes. The door finishes recessing into the ground, snug and flush to the floor... and Mio is alone, staring east down a corridor that turns from clinical white to industrial brown. Engineering awaits. <<link "Continue." "Checkpoint B 2-1">><</link>> <>

<> <<set $tile_up to "no">> <<set $tile_left to "no">> <<set $tile_down to "no">> <<set $tile_right to "no">> <<set $MS_Head_Over_Heels to 1>> Mio opens the door to A3. Or, rather, she opens the door into an impenetrable wall of pink fog! She gasps and stumbles back as the smog billows around her, sucked out into the corridor, leaving her partially blinded - barely able to see her own hand in front of her face, only direct light sources pinpricking through the pink haze. "What the... Is anyone in there?" Mio asks through clenched teeth, feeling a building prickling sensation upon her synthskin. It's not unpleasant, as such, but that's the problem - she's already made the healthy assumption that this stuff is an aphrodisiac. And as the shifts her focus from the rushing air across her aural sensors, she begins to pick up on more evidence of just that... moans. Grunts. Hissed and heaved sighs. And, of course, the uneven and rapid SMAK of body upon body! A giggling, feminine voice and a husky, more masculine groan ring out through the smog, Mio just barely able to make out two figures within the room beyond. One is clearly riding the other in cowgirl - hard. But then that figure on top pauses, craning her neck back to face Mio, a pair of bright red eyes in the gloom glaring her down. "Do you mind? We're busy here!! Go away!" the woman growls, the smog interacting with her body in strange ways... is it coming from her?! Mio goes to reply, but splutters - the buildup of gas is starting to affect her. With a grimace, she takes one last look into the room and steps back, shutting the door with a hasty push of its control pad. It takes a while for the gas to filter from the habitat corridor, either out the door into the hall or through the half-working vents. Mio sighs and purses her lips, standing still as she goes over the recordings in her head, enlisting B4B3 to help out. The image is so clouded and unclear, but maybe... "Ah! Mio! My scans came through. There's meant to be a main vent above the bed in these big '3' suite guest rooms, but going over your footage... it looks like it's jammed shut. I can just about make out a big dark square on the wall. That room must be working on backup life-support, which obviously isn't enough to keep up with the gas that lady's producing!" B4B3 suggests. Mio nods, clutching her chin with one hand, frowning. "Alright. Think she'll calm down if I can get that vent open?" Mio asks, glancing up to the side of the doorframe - roughly where the vent should be in eye line - and then to the door's control panel, the screen flashing red to indicate the exact problem she just encountered. Cute. "I would assume so, right? Maybe if you give it a minute after? I dunno, I don't even know what species she is!" B4B3 admits. Mio nods, then relaxes her stance. "Fair enough. Let me see what I can do. At least they're safe from... anything else but her in there." she admits with an uneasy smile, rubbing the back of her head. Girl was riding him like a jackhammer.

Maybe if she can drag the pair inside out into the corridor, they'll calm down. Unfortunately, Mio doesn't get far before the gas begins to prickle at her synthskin, the concentration far more intense than it was in the doorway! And that's not all she has to contend with. Those red eyes suddenly pierce through the blinding smog, matched with a furious scowl! "Didn't I tell you to get lost!? We didn't order room service! One sec, honeybunches..." the woman snarls, save for that last word - that? She delivers with a sickeningly syrupy saccharine sweetness, her eyes briefly softening into delighted half-almonds before they twist back into a glare at Mio. It's a rush of movement, and Mio is too blinded to see what happened to her exactly - but suddenly she feels a great pressure all around her body as if a gigantic fist has squeezed tightly around her, pinning her arms to her side. Mio yelps in shock - a bad move, given the gas - and then what little of the world she can see becomes a blur as she's tossed from the room like a mere doll! Mio clatters upon the round with a roll, now back in the habitat corridor, spluttering and seething as the gas plays havoc with her biomechanics. That... didn't go well.

It's a little messy, but she runs a mental simulation of it a few times over - including estimating likely places for the troublesome woman within to be, so she can avoid her. With that prep work done... Mio turns towards the door with a steeled look on her face, a hand hovering over the pad to open it, her body stooped slightly - ready to spring into action. Beep. Mio lunges into the room, turns on her heel and hops, her foot finding the foot of the bed, nestled neatly on the edge. She feels something whoosh past her feet as she leaps, the darkened square of the jammed vent swelling to dominate her vision through the smog. With a huff, she rams a fist straight through it, plants her feet on the wall, and then pushes back off as the smog begins to billow around her, sucked through that release of pressure as she sails through the air. Landing neatly o her feet, Mio steps back out of the room with a grunt, closing the door again - the blinking red warning light now a mellow yellow 'caution'. She'll give it a minute, but that ought to clear the gas! <<else>> Mio spends a moment preparing herself, going back over the footage and mapping out the room as best she can through the scan B4B3 took, overlaying this data to try and form a coherent map. It's... messy, but she can improvise. She opens the door and makes a break for it, running inside and turning, leaping for the foot of the bed to spring herself up towards the jammed vent. Just a solid tap ought to do it-- "You again!?" growls a voice from below, as something grabs Mio's ankle and yanks her right out of the air! She lands on her front upon the bed with a -whump- and an 'ouf!', dazed for a moment as a pair of glowering red eyes come into sharp focus through the smog. "Didn't I tell you to get lost!?

Mio turns on her hip - stuck in a commando crawl - as a small opening in the vent wall comes into view to her left. Peering through it and illuminating the gloom with an intensification of the glow of her eyes - the emergency light is out - she smiles with satisfaction as she finds a spot to patch into the system above. It takes a bit of fiddling and familiarizing herself with the damaged system, but she runs a few purges on the jammed vent and then juices the mechanism just a little. That blinking red indicator turns yellow, and then green: system functionality is restored. By the time she gets back to that room, the gas ought to have cleared up! She closes the panel and awkwardly shifts around on the spot, luckily avoiding getting stuck - that would have been an awkward thing to explain in her mission report... ahem. Back she goes. <<else>> Slipping into the vent, Mio crouches and crawls her way through the now-familiar passage. All she has to do is... uh... get under that spot, right?

Smog!... does not billow out around her. So far, so good. She steps into the guest suite and casts a look around, naturally looking first at the bed on the right. However, it's vacant... and pretty much totalled. Initially alarming stains of red splash across its sheets, with holes outright torn in the mattress! However, a groan to Mio's left causes her to whip her head around, alert for what she might find. A blue man lounging on an armchair and a red woman wrapped in a towel - yet with black, shiny boots and gloves reaching up to her hips and shoulders - was not her first guess. Neither seem to have noticed her and so, in an effort to avoid startling them, Mio stays where she is and knocks on the doorframe. "Excuse me." The woman is the first to turn around, and Mio finally gets a good look at the terrifying entity that prevented her entry. Well... she was more intimidating obscured by fog! Her body, hair and even eyes are all red, and cloudily translucent - bordering on opaque, except where the lights of the room beam down upon her, just about piercing the membrane of her flesh to illuminate her from within. She's made of gel, with bright glowing eyes of a lighter hue, her hair formed from short tentacle-like rolls that taper to thin tips and curls. The goo girl is so surprised to see Mio, she clasps both hands to her mouth! And goodbye towel. The generously proportioned woman glances down - a somewhat difficult motion to read, given the solid-tone nature of her eyes - and then stifles an embarrassed giggle, throwing an arm over her chest and between her legs. Far too late, of course - and the motion, given what she's comprised of, causes an awful lot of jiggling. She scrabbles for the towel and quickly picks it back up, brushing some of her 'hair' from her eyes and putting on a broad smile. "Oh gosh, hi! Are you the one who fixed the vent? Thank you sooo much! We've, uh... been stuck like that for a little while!" she admits with an awkward chuckle, her partner lazily raising an arm from where he's sat, body still mostly obscured, face turned away. "I don't know how long that was, but it feels like a year and a half. Drexi, I can't feel my legs. I think I'm a goner, babe." the man dramatically whines, clearly taking the piss. 'Drexi' scoffs and hip-bumps him, earning a hissed gasp from the sore man. Mio takes another glance around the room, noticing!... well. Signs. The vague outline prints of bodies formerly held against the big bay window overlooking the moon's surface, a dent in the desk, splatters of slime all over the floor, walls, and... ceiling?! "Drama king. You've taken tougher and you know it! Now be polite and say 'hi' to our rescuer." she tuts, turning to face her partner for a moment. "It's really no bother, but where the hell did that gas come from?" Mio asks, looking around the room for signs of a Monster but finding only signs of the couple's rampaging sex spree. 'Drexi' bites her lower lip - harder constructs present in her mouth, like teeth - and nervously giggles. "Um... guilty. That was me. See, it's something my kind can do for influencing people! A kind of perfume. In this case, it was a territorial marker to keep the runaway Monsters away, a kinda 'this is mine! Stay back!', but... well, it kinda does things to me in larger quantities! And I didn't know the vent was busted. Too much buildup fed back into me, and so I made more, and... well. You can figure out the rest." she explains with a sigh, rubbing the back of her head - the other hand firmly keeping the towel strained against her bust, squishing into her body just a little more than it should against 'normal' flesh. At that moment, the man in the seat finally rises, placing both hands on the small of his back and pushing with a grunt. Something goes -pop-. Loudly. He regards Mio with a somewhat deadpan look, but she takes it as his natural expression: the man standing in nothing but slim-fit dark pants is easier to read than the goo girl, and easier to see, too: his blue body is comprised of solid flesh, but with black, dark lines running in spiral and jagged patterns down his limbs and torso, slightly indented against his skin, shimmering black against the matte of his blue body. A messy mop of hair - actual hair, that is to say - just about conceals a pair of short horns that only show when he runs a hand through it, grimacing into another stretch. It finally clicks for Mio what the pair are: a Jelli and a Helzent, but she's never seen a male Helzent before! "Thanks for the assist, Miss 'Bot. You with the corpo rescue party or whatever?" he asks with a yawn, the Helzent sounding downright exhausted. Then again, that could just be how he sounds normally, given that the Jelli doesn't seem all too concerned. She's busy doting on him, adjusting his hair with her gloved fingers. "Freelance, here on other business, but figured I could lend a hand." Mio replies honestly, giving a little shrug to dismiss her acts as no big deal. The couple smile and the Jelli nods. "Double-thanks then, wow! Oh, jeez, manners. I'm Ru'Drexi, and this is my husband, Powder Snow. We, uh, don't work here!" "Yo." "Just guests. Think this vacation's got a little out of hand, yeah? Oh, what's your name? Or... designation? I never know which word to use with Buildborn people, sorry! Eheh." Ru'Drexi apologies with a little poke out of her tongue, rubbing the back of her head again. "It's... Mio. And you're welcome. You should get to the Safe Room, I'm sure you'll be more comfortable there. Assuming you've gotten all of..." Mio gestures around the room, panning her arm. "... This, out of your system?" she asks with a slight smile. Ru'Drexi giggles again, whilst Powder just groans. "Enough for a lifetime, but... eh, ask me again in an hour, answer might change." he snorts, slinging an arm around his wife's waist and dragging her in for a side-on hug, rewarded with a giggle. An hour? Try two seconds. ---------------- Mio watches as the pair gather some of their things and get dressed in simple outfits. A quick rundown of the directions later, they're out the door - giggling and chuckling and making little playful jabs at one another over their shared ordeal - leaving Mio to stand amongst the ashes of Ru'Drexi's sexual rampage. She really wishes she knew how to do an impressed whistle right now. Ru'Drexi and Powder Snow will be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED + 1>><<set $Rudrexi_Safe to 1>> 'Head Over Heels' complete!

"Mmpph!~-- Mrmrmmh~--" A woman possessed of remarkable curves is resting on her back upon what at first glance could be mistaken for some sort of purple beanbag - until one notices her strikingly blue-toned limbs are sunken inside of the mostly-opaque, wobbling mass, right up to the knees and elbows! Several tentacles extend from the main body of the huge Glob, each plugging a different hole and plunging into it with fervent, frenzied need. Watching anything that thick thrust its way inside an eager hole is distracting enough, let alone in triplicate, but that's not all! The Glob's even formed big, oversized and uneven 'hands' to better support and grope at the woman's massive chest, a task it struggles with but performs to the best of its ability. In the moments after finding herself stunned at this sight - let alone the sounds - Mio notices two important things. One: the trapped woman is clearly an Invari. Mio is leaning towards Octopus, given that in place of hair, she has a bundle of thick, stout tentacles that form a sort of imitation of a frizzy hairstyle, coloured a rich, bright coral that plays against the blue of her aquatic hide well. A number of black-and-orange blotches without much if any pattern to them run across her body, particularly her half-engulfed limbs. Definitely some form of cephalopod, even if she's bipedal - an 'M2' rating, to use a slightly archaic measurement. She doesn't seem to be particularly inconvenienced by her encounter, either: with her head tilted to one side, Mio watches as her cheek bulges with each thrust of the tentacles she's sucking upon, her head bobbing to meet it each time, nothing short of eager approval for her situation sounding off through her muffled cries. Unfortunately, however, is Two: the way the purple spherical body of the Glob swirls with a wretched pink miasma from within. It seems to swell slightly before the Android's gaze, even bigger than it already was mere moments ago. Mio blinks, then glances at the Invari's tentacular hair, putting two and two together. Not only is the Glob severely poisoned, but - judging by the way its membrane is visibly straining to keep it intact, a problem made worse by its insistence on fucking the living daylights out of this woman - it's about to blow! Mio quickly steps back and hits the control pad, the door sliding shut in front of her. Before the pressure seal can engage - which would muffle any sounds from within - Mio just about catches a booming SPLOURCH as the Glob's explosive demise comes to pass. ... She's probably fine, right? She looked... durably thick. Mio taps her index fingers together, deciding to wait a moment before going back in... <<set $Ervina_met to 1>> <<link "Wait a second for the fumes to clear..." "Hab-Block B 1-2">><<set $en to $en + 2>><<set $map_4_marker to $Marker_Something>> <</link>> <<else>> <<set $Ervina_met to 2>> <<set $map_4_marker to $icon_marker_blank_24>> Mio tentatively opens the door back into the Invari woman's room, immediately bowled over by the sweet, syrupy smell that's been unleashed in the wake of the Glob's demise. It's... it's everywhere. Purple slime washed with pink streaks lines the floor, the walls, and hangs and drips heavily from the ceiling. Mio grimaces as she gingerly steps inside, eyes scanning for the Invari - she isn't where she was before, the epicentre of that explosion marked only by a greater pile of slime upon it. She wasn't... obliterated, right? No, that makes no sense, this whole room would've been done for if it'd been that bad-- "Hmm? Oh, yo. Welcome to my crib. Sorry, no pants." Mio spins on the spot and beholds the bed of the cramped room, upon which the Invari - thankfully not obliterated! - sits, one leg crossed over the other - with difficulty, given the sheer size of her thighs - and a vaping stick held loosely between two fingers, poised before her lips. She takes a long, heavy drag, then exhales through her nose, smiling dreamily in the afterglow. Mio couldn't see it before, but she's wearing a visor - a thin black band tracks from beneath either side of her 'hair', a single pink dot in the centre marking where she's looking. Right now? Directly ahead, watching a gathering blob of slime hang heavy from the corner of her junk-strewn desk before it splatters under its own weight. Well, she's alive. Mio glances away slightly, clearing her throat, affording the nude woman some level of privacy. Her body is reflected in just about every slime-slick surface, making this an impossible task - not that she seems to mind. As Mio turns away, she in turn starts to look towards the Android, taking another drag on her stick. A vaguely fruity smell pierces through the generic sweetness all around them. "... Yes, hello there. May I assume that you are unharmed?" Mio asks, tucking her hands behind her back in a military stance. The Octopus looks down at herself - a difficult task, given how much of her body is blocked from view by her chest - then shrugs. "If I am, I don't know it. Little guy really gave it his all, I can barely feel my legs! But alas... couldn't stop playin' with my hair. Too dumb to know that's a no-no. Still, I guess I shouldn't mourn too hard - another few hours of that and it might've gotten boring." she muses, tapping the stick against her chin before her contemplative look turns into a grin, now focused on Mio again. "Are you looking away? That's oddly sweet for a machine. Guess you're one of those free-thinkin' types? Neat! Oh, name's Ervina. You with the rescue squad or, uh-- Cleaners, that's the protocol, right?" 'Ervina' asks, tilting her head. Mio purses her lips to one side and gives a single shake of her head, turning to Ervina with her eyes, but not her head or body. "Ah, negative. I'm... freelance. Here on other business." she mutters, looking again at that desk covered in junk. Interesting... This woman might be from Engineering. If this woman IS an Engineer, she'll see through any facade of being a stone-faced drone with ease, so why bother? Mio will just have to trust that she isn't the type to answer post-mission review spam - if Ziajol even still bothers to send those out. Thus, Mio goes with her preferred name. "I am Mio. Are you able to walk? There's a Safe Room set up in the northern sector for your convenience. It's... less slimy." she remarks, gesturing around the room with a slight wince. "Oh yeah? I guess I could mosey on over." Ervina concurs, standing up from her ruined bed and sauntering over to the wardrobe, passing by Mio to do so. Mio notes two things: Ervina's hair twitches towards her as she passes, as if running on instinct to grab and pull... and two, Ervina is big. She's got a decent height advantage on Mio - but then most people do - but that only serves to amplify her curves and build, the thickness of her hips and that bouncing, heavy rack looking appropriate for her size. She stops by the wardrobe, reaches inside, and plucks out a cropped jacket that looks to be two sizes too small - sure enough, it refuses to close further than the initial connecting zipper when she puts it on, but she seems unbothered by this. "Don't see much point gettin' dressed if the rest of the facility is as bad as this, y'know?" she explains, nude from the belly down! Mio sees the logic but finds it difficult to know where to look - especially once Ervina picks up on this and leans into her field of view, smirking. The Android huffs and turns away, pointing out directions with her hand. "Yes, well-- north, first door on the left. Knock. Dizz will let you in." Mio grumbles, then steps aside - well aside - to let Ervina through. The Invari giggles cheekily and does just that, but then she pauses once she's past Mio, her visor-eye swivelling around to peek at her. "... Hmm. You got a secondary intelligence, Mio?" Ervina inquires, catching Mio off guard. Huh? A-- oh, wait, she must mean... "Me? I think she means me." B4B3 chimes in, and to Mio's surprise, Ervina nods - the Android didn't confirm or deny anything! "Mm! A little buzzy and fuzzy, but lemme..." she trails off, reaching up with one hand. Mio leans back a little, not particularly wanting to be touched by a tech-minded stranger, but thankfully Ervina's hand lands upon the side of her visor, the base of which covers her ears with rounded caps. Must do sound, too. She turns and fiddles with something then speaks again. "Heeeello? Testin', testin'? Well - kinda dumb, I already know you can hear me. But..." "Can you hear me?!" / "Can you hear her?" the two Synthetics ask in unison, one out loud and one within Mio's head. Ervina's grin widens. "Sure can! Yeesh, you must be an older model, there's a lot of frequency bleed. Guess you'd have to be to be a Buildborn, though, right? Alright, I know Mio, what about Mio's little friend?~" Ervina inquires. B4B3 quickly replies! "My designation is B4B3, Miss Ervina! Oooh, this is neat. I don't really get to speak to people outside of my partners!" B4B3 gasps. Mio flinches slightly - she's being loud, and acting as the receiver for two other people to have a conversation is... pretty unpleasant, actually! But hearing B4B3's elation, she stays silent about the issue, just pouting off to the side. "B4B3? Cute! Polite lil' program, ain'tcha. Hmm... Say, Mio. Come see me up at that Safe Room. Once I'm settled, I think I've got an idea you two might like. Y'know, if you've got time to take out of your busy schedule of ignoring your mission to save random staff members from getting fucked silly." Ervina snickers, her visor dot morphing into a little heart for a moment before she finally turns and walks off, waving with her fingers. "... Y'know, I always thought you talked too loud, B4B3. But now I know you talk so loud that other people can hear it." Mio smirks. B4B3 gasps, then gives a little 'hmph'. Ervina will be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED +1>><<set $Ervina_Safe to 1>> Started Quest 'Calibrations, My Dear'.

[img[$B4B3_Icon]] B4B3 B4B3, snug in her borrowed body - courtesy of the mechanic Ervina. It is a small commercial drone, an automated assistant used for general or specialized purposes. This one has been repurposed by Ervina into a combat model, with a welding tool turned into a short-ranged buster. It is humanoid in shape - like Mio - but unlike Mio it is significantly smaller at a mere foot-and-a-half, with a far more cartoonish design. Its body consists of black, sleek biometal - a warm and firm substance with self-regenerative properties - that forms a 'bodysuit' beneath thicker, curvy armour plates in soft white and petal pink. The drone has no mouth, with a teardrop-shaped head consisting of white primary plates with slightly recessed pink trim. It has a pair of expressive, almond-shaped eyes that can swivel and narrow slightly to help B4B3 emote, though it's usually giving a smiling, upwards slant. The body's arms are of particular note. One is clearly some sort of weapon: a stout, thick-barreled buster cannon occupies the hand slot. The other hand is a simple manipulator, with three thick, adjustable fingers mounted on a rotating port. B4B3 will occasionally rest on Mio's shoulder or upon an appropriate surface to recharge her jets, but usually floats along via small, lilac thrusters down her back, shoulders and legs, the flares of which resemble butterfly wings. B4B3 can assist Mio in combat. Her attacks are light, but she is immune to damage and can only assist, not hinder. <><div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 130%;'> <<if $Perk_B4B3 is 1>>"Let's kick some butt!~ Uh, ma'am!"

Its body consists of black, sleek biometal - a warm and firm substance with self-regenerative properties - that forms a 'bodysuit' beneath thicker, curvy armour plates in soft white and petal pink. The drone seems to have no power, nor means of activation. Its eyes are gloomy and empty, and it does not respond to any stimuli. It's arms are of particular note. One is clearly some sort of weapon: a stout, thick-barreled buster cannon occupies the hand slot. The other hand is a simple manipulator, with three thick, adjustable fingers mounted on a rotating port. <><div align='center'>------------------------------------</div><div class="disable-select" style='font-size: 130%;'><<link "Move Left">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Busted_Drone_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Left">> <<set $Busted_Drone_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>> || <<link "Move Right">> <<set $I_K_Move to $Busted_Drone_Position>> <<include "Inventory Key Item Move Right">> <<set $Busted_Drone_Position to $I_K_Move>> <</link>></div><>

<><<set $speech_passage to "Ervina Quest3">><<set $MS_Calibrations_My_Dear to 5>> <<include "B4B3 Pickup">> <<set $Perk_B4B3 to 1>> As Mio approaches, Ervina snaps the hatch back shut on the inactive Drone, leaning back with a sigh and a few side-to-side stretches of her neck. That looked like an uncomfortable working position, but Mio already got her workbench suggestion denied, so... pft. Ervina looks up and grins. "There you are! And here we go!" she exclaims, picking the Drone up from beneath its arms. She holds it akin to someone showing off a doll, with the Drone playing the part pretty sell - its head slumps and wobbles with her motions, eyes blank, still very much inactive. Mio inspects it with a tilt of her head, but then notices that Ervina is staring at her - she thinks, the visor makes it hard to tell - with an expectant look. "... Yeah? Here we go? What, what happens now?" Mio asks, feeling lost. Ervina rolls her eyes - or rather rolls her entire head in her over-dramatic way, her visor tracking left, right and centre - and then fixes her stare back onto Mio. "Well, obviously, I need you to head down to the facility's power station and replace whatever ancillary core has burned out, to get this little guy online." she says with a straight face. "What!? Why didn't you--" Mio starts, bordering on outrage, but stops with confusion when Ervina starts to giggle. It dawns on Mio that it was a joke - albeit a shitty one, and she deadpans accordingly. "I'm messin' with ya. No more running around. Just need to transfer your lil' friend into this shell. Oughta be enough room, data-wise. Just press your head against its own." Ervina instructs, thrusting the Drone into Mio's chest. The Android blinks, then frowns. That... sounds overly cutesy. She sighs, twists her lips, and then begrudgingly places her forehead against the machine's own. There's a sudden sensation of emptiness in a portion of her mind, the kind she feels when a large quantity of data is cut rather than removed. She winces but resists the urge to pull away from the Drone, lest she sever the connection prematurely. It isn't long before the sensation subsides, and only then does she allow herself to lean back... And stare into bright pink eyes, little half-almonds that facelessly 'grin' at her in utter delight. "Tada!~ ♥" announces B4B3 as she wriggles free of Ervina's gentle grasp, hovering aloft upon jet light-toned lilac energy thrusters, hands - if they can be called such - placed triumphantly on her sizable hips. The eccentrically-designed defence drone resembles a small robotic pixie, with sleek, white-and-pink armour plates mounted across biomech limbs in sheening black -- all curves and swerving angles, with stocky limbs a tad larger, proportionally, to her foot-and-a-half sized body. A faint lilac thruster split into wing-like flares provides plentiful lift to the body, clearly bolstered by the anti-gravity components it houses. Smaller secondary thrusters flicker from the calves above pointed, slightly hoofed feet with black caps. A faint cherry blossom glow emits from the centre of a daintily effeminate chest and a mouthless face set against a teardrop-shaped head, graced with expressive, smiling solid pink eyes currently curled upwards in a reassuring manner. It's a stark contrast to the buster cannon that her right arm consists of, the left bearing a simple three-fingered manipulator. "What do you think? I've always wanted my own body!~ Oooh, thank you Miss Ervina! Too bad I can't keep it, eheh..." she accepts, eyes swivelling into a worried slant as she taps the barrel of her buster and a stubby, 3-jointed finger together. That brief dampening of her enthusiasm is soon replaced with spins and flips as she examines her movement capabilities, twirling to check herself out at angles that would be difficult when 'standing' stationary. Mio can't help but smirk a little at how swiftly she's grasped the concept - even anxious body language - but soon turns it into a nod and a more neutral expression to better befit her stony reputation. "Make the best of it then, huh? We should go test that buster out on something." Mio suggests, to which B4B3 lets out a delighted beep with a shimmy of her new hips, eyes flashing red as she cocks the charge pump of her buster arm with her free hand. How eager! Then she turns to face Ervina once more, shimmying on the spot with glee. "You're welcome, y' lil' cutie~. Oh, and don't tell Mio, but she could've just transferred you by touching it with her hand. I just thought the forehead kisses were cuter." Ervina smirks, catching Mio's gasp and grumpy glare in retaliation. "Now you be careful with that, alright? I'm not gunna make any promises, but maaaybe I'll letcha keep it. Keep Mio here safe in the meantime, got it?" Ervina instructs, to which B4B3 nods with vigour. Then Ervina seems to have something dawn upon her... she turns back to Mio smiling 'innocently'. "Oh! And speaking of you. I've pushed a little extra data package your way. If you need to burn off some... frustrations, just fire up that code somewhere private and secure." the Octopus snickers, crossing her arms as she leans back in her seat. Mio frowns, but before she can question it, B4B3's excitement breaches her decorum limits. "Yay! Thank you thank you thank you!" she squeals, drifting over to Ervina to awkwardly hug at her... well, neck. Sort of. Arms wrapped stubbily around the base of her shoulders. Ervina giggles, then gives B4B3 a pat on the back and turns her around. B4B3 wobbles in mid-air slightly but then snaps a salute to Mio. "Ready for duty, Miss Mio!" 'Calibrations, My Dear' complete! Mio has gained 100 exp! B4B3 has a physical presence, now! She can aid Mio in combat.

< <<set $tile_up to "no">> <<set $tile_left to "no">> <<set $tile_down to "no">> <<set $tile_right to "no">> Mio makes sure she's got a decent bit of distance between her and Isolde - at least out of arm's reach - and simulates a classic 'ahem'. Hard to do the real thing when you don't need to breathe nor eat. Isolde perks up, looks over her shoulder with a frown, then freezes. She quickly straightens herself up with a huff, turning with her hands planted on her hips, towering over Mio even from afar... but thankfully, the look on her face - at least when directed towards the Android - is amicable. However, an awkward silence reigns over the question that begs to be asked but goes unspoken, tension building, building!... "So... Camera?" "For a cam-show. S'how I make my pocket money, 'Bot babe. Not that I got pockets right now... I got 'got' by that thing 'cuz I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. Stupid... but I figured hey, at least it'll make for a decent show! Ugh. Whatever-- look, uh, thanks for stepping in, my knees seriously feel like they're about ground to dust. Name's Isolde, I'm with the security team-- but before you ask, it ain't my fuckin' shift, ok! Where're the rest of the Cleaners?" Isolde asks with a huff, crossing her arms beneath her bust, supporting it well and relieving that straining tiger-print lingerie. Mio opens her mouth, pauses, then re-evaluates what she was about to say. "Not here yet. I'm not a company Cleaner, My name is Mio, and I'm a mercenary unit here on separate business. I'm here to launch the base's Sled with its current payload, assuming it hasn't been compromised." Mio explains, adopting a militarty stance, hands folded behind her back. Isolde raises a brow, then snorts. Technically she should've given her designated name, not her preferred one, but... Isolde doesn't look like the type to fill out post-mission review net-mails. "Seriously? Ugh. Hey, not your fault, but findin' out we're secondary to cargo on the priority list is some real 're-evaluate your employment choices' shit, y'know?" the Tiger grumbles, looking off to the side with a deepening frown. "Well, thanks for the rescue again, especially if it ain't even your job. Maybe you've got a literal heart of gold?" she adds with a cheeky wink before snickering at her own joke. Mio finds herself smiling a little at it, but she glances over her shoulder, wishing to get back to business before this temporary peace is shattered... or slimed upon. "You're welcome, but we should probably move. Are you familiar with the staff quarters under construction in the northern sector of the base? We're operating it as a safe room." Mio explains, jerking a thumb behind her at the door. Isolde's eyes light up a little, though she keeps a cool face. "'We', huh? Say no more. I could do with more company." she remarks, lacing her fingers together and stretching her arms above her head with a satisfying-sounding -crck-. She strolls past Mio, who blinks and raises a hand to protest. "Aren't you going to put on something a little less revealing, first?" she asks with a frown. Isolde snorts, grinning down at Mio, now standing side-to-side with the shorter Android, albeit facing in opposite directions. "Hell no. If I get got again, I don't want it ruining an outfit I actually like! And my security uniform's probably in the wash. So much for my three-day weekend... eh. Catch ya at the safe room, 'Bot babe!" she remarks with a throaty purr and a wink, strolling outside with balled fists. Mio watches her go with a bemused look... she'll probably be fine. Isolde will be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED + 1>><<set $Isolde_Safe to 1>> <<link "Back to the Mission."

<> <<if $MS_Ruzi_Quest is 0>> The habitat to the south is occupied! The presence of a Monster within the locked chamber is understandable. That it's paired with an exhausted-looking deer woman with impressive antlers is more baffling! The Monster is somewhat lanky in build, with palid gray aquatic flesh and two pairs of arms: one pair is currently holding the girl by her antlers, while the other, lower pair has a tight hold on her hips as it holds her aloft, fucking her standing, her legs weakly swaying beneath her. Her arms are just as limp; it looks like they've been at it for quite a while, judging by the sheer quantity of seed pooling beneath them... but the Monster shows no signs of slowing. While its teardrop-shaped head barely has facial features as one might understand them, the sunken pits that seem to represent its eyes are nonetheless furrowed in exertion. The girl, meanwhile, is short but curvy. Her skin is a dark, rich tone, and her messy, tangled hair - blonde? Brown? Blrownde? - hangs as limply as her limbs do. Mio is almost wondering if she's passed out... which would be both impressive and worrying, given that the freak she's paired with is railing her hard enough to make her tits pendulously swing, smacking against her ribs with each return. The door into the habitat is locked. The computer terminal - which is largely slime splattered - blares out red text that insists 'TESTING IS IN PROGRESS'. Mio purses her lips to one side and looks back up at the beleagured girl... this test has probably gone on long enough. <<link "Attempt to open the door." "Ruzi Quest 1">> <<set $MS_Ruzi_Quest to 1>> <</link>> <<elseif $MS_Ruzi_Quest is 1 or $MS_Ruzi_Quest is 2>> The southern habitat - Pen E - is currently occupied by a very happy Monster and a very tired Researcher. The Monster - which Mio learns is named 'Grappler' from the chamber's control terminal - is a four-armed creature of lanky build, with gray, aquatic flesh, slightly bowed legs, and a teardrop-shaped head without visible facial features, save for its sunken, black 'eyes'. It stands tall in the center of the chamber with its prize, holding the Deer girl aloft in a floating 'kneel', hands occasionally repositioning to help keep her held through the freak's frantic and ceaseless thrusts. One hand tends to stay on her antlers - massive, branching things that practically double her height - whilst another is currently hooked into her cheek, the arm extended unnaturally far to reach her face. Not only does it look uncomfortable, but it's preventing her from speaking - but not from moaning. It's... loud. The other two lower arms tend to stick to her hips, occasionally releasing one to give the beleagured girl a spank. The Deer, for her part, just hangs limply in the Monster's grip - eyes rolled, tongue hanging from her forced-open mouth, chest swinging with force from each hip-smashing thrust from the deceptively strong abomination. Thick, off-white seed drools down the rich, dark tone of her plush thighs, pooling between the pair in heavy splatters. A lab coat hangs off of her body, only partially obscuring her curvy figure. <</if>> <<if $MS_Ruzi_Quest is 2>> The Grappler seems pretty confident that it's safe with its prize, occasionally turning to 'face' Mio in what somehow feels like a sneer despite it lacking the features to pull one off. What it doesn't realize, of course, is that the door is unlocked now. <</if>> <>

<> <<set $MS_Ruzi_Quest to 1>> <<set $tile_up to "no">> <<set $tile_left to "no">> <<set $tile_down to "no">> <<set $tile_right to "no">> Mio tries to open the door, but it's mag-locked tight. She tries to override that, but it fails. She bangs on the window, and the girl snaps to lucidity - but before she can finish telling Mio the code to override the security system, the Monster takes a hand from her antlers and shoves fingers into her mouth, cheek-hooking her and reducing the rest of the code to audio garbage. Mio ponders her options. Hack, Lockpick, or try to get her to signal the code somehow. On the terminal, she also notes that there's a physical override for two people on the other end of the hall. Mio narrows her eyes as she goes to open the door. Unlike the other Pens, however, which have all been unlocked... this one is stuck tight! Mio steps back with a huff and a glare, eyes flitting from corner to corner of the doorframe. Looks like a maglock system - placing a hand against the door, palm flat, Mio confirms this with a quick touch-scan. She can feel them thrum through the protective housings above and below. She glances back to the exhausted-looking Researcher, whose eyes remain glassed over and unfocused. Mio purses her lips and looks to the console, but she can see from the screen - which silently barks at her not to interrupt the 'testing' - that she needs an override code. But perhaps the Researcher knows it? Mio steps over to the console and, after a brief search, flips the sound system on both ways. Immediately, she's bombarded by the wretchedly lurid noises of the deceptively strong Monster's jackhammer thrusts against the girl's ample ass, along with its gleeful, alien hisses. Not much noise from the girl herself save for quiet gasps and little squeaks, more reflexive than anything else. Mio taps on the console near the built-in microphone and cuts to the chase. "Wake up. Door's locked. Code?" Mio speaks quickly but clearly, watching as the girl startles and jerks awake. She really was passed out! Her face scrunches up and her eyes roll, and for a moment Mio wonders if she's had basic communicative skills fucked out of her head... but then the bewildered Deer's eyes swivel in Mio's direction, and a look of relief washes over her exhausted face. "Ah!-- Jeez!-- It's abouh-- ooh-- t-time!-- I--" "Code!" Mio insists, pointing down at the console for emphasis. The girl flinches, stares, and then her eyes widen. The Monster - which seemed pleased by her revival a moment ago - now growls, turning to face Mio without stopping its relentless thrusts. "Ouh!-- Right!-- I-It's -- 8 digits!-- Four, Three, Nine, Sevouuughk!--" she's interrupted most rudely by the Monster abandoning its grip with one hand on her antlers, instead reaching up to her head to sling two fingers past her lips. With a hook backwards, it forces her to turn away from Mio, pinching her tongue between its fingertips, utterly devastating her ability to speak! "Wough!!-- Souh-- oouuh!!-- Gouuh-- Houuyii--" she babbles, but it's no use. Mio groans, planting a palm on her forehead. Without the full code, she's screwed. The system will lock her out after a few tries, so brute-forcing the remaining digits is out of the question. As the girl's reinvigorated moans of pleasure and groans of frustration ping tinnily from the speakers on the console, Mio looks around again. Options, options... She might be able to physically disengage the lock with some creative use of a lockpick. Or, she could try to override the system with some hacking. There may still be a way to get this girl to communicate the code, too. Finally, Mio notices an override release button... but beneath it, it says 'Pen A'. That's on the other side of the Pens. Are the release mechanisms mirrored?... That's a long way to run. Started Quest 'Gimme A Hand Or Four'.

The remaining digits are all numbers. The Monster seems to be able to understand the intent of what they were trying to do, so she can't outright say her solution, whatever she thinks of. But perhaps... abstract it. Mio's eyes widen as the idea crashes into her. She keys the mic. "... Ah." Mio says, simply. The Deer girl blinks back into lucidity once more, eyes swivelling to face Mio with confusion. Mio just holds up one finger. "Ah." she repeats. Then she unfurls a second finger, now holding up two. "... Ah, ah." she says, adding a third finger: "Ah, ah, ah." The Monster regards Mio with something approaching a mocking sneer, but the Deer's eyes light up as she understands. Her aimless reactive moans cease as she steels herself for a moment, and then - largely in response to the brute spanking her generous behind in retaliation for stopping - she begins to moan louder than ever before! "Angh!~-- Angh!! Annh-- Ahhyh!!" she cries out, then pauses, shuddering. Four! "Hynh-- unhf-- houugh!!" Three... yes, she's repeating the entire code through the number of moans! "Hyi-- anh-- ouuh-- aaah-- hnh-- ghnh!-- Hyi!--Hyi!!-HYII!!" Nine! She manages to stop herself, looking to Mio. She mouthes the number silently, and the Researcher nods with her eyes, an up-and-down flick. It's an arduous process. But as the minutes slip by - two more digits needing confirming, all with the Monster none the wiser - Mio gets the entire code, at which point the girl gives her up strangely rhythmic moaning and surrenders to the frenzied pace of her captor. Mio punches the digits in and internally crosses her fingers... ding. She sighs with relief as the maglocks disengage, all with the Monster oblivious to his impending beatdown. Mio can now enter Pen E. <<include "Marker Cleanup">><<include "Monster Pen Markers">> <<else>> Mio keys the microphone again. "... I don't suppose you could try giving me that code again?" she inquires, almost wincing at the withering stare the girl manages to give her - even with her cheek hooked and her head turned, she's just barely about able to make eye contact, and it isn't positive. "UNghou-- OUhh-- GNH!-- Ouu-- Souuh-- Houuh!!" she replies with venom. Mio sighs, then awkwardly keys the microphone back off. <</if>> <<if visited() is 1>> <<set $Player_skill_diplomacy_progress to $Player_skill_diplomacy_progress + 50>> Mio believes this experience has helped her get a little better at Diplomacy.

<> <<set $MS_Ruzi_Quest to 3>> <<set $tile_up to "no">> <<set $tile_left to "no">> <<set $tile_down to "no">> <<set $tile_right to "no">> Through her overpleasured haze, the girl named Ruzi can't really comprehend much unless that nice Android directly beckons her attention. Outside of those brief moments, she just hangs in the Grappler's grasp helplessly, a passenger in her own restrained body, a toy being used by a toy. With her world reduced to numbing pleasure and the constant draining of her stamina by a brute whose own seems endless, it's inevitable that she ends up zoning back out. Still, getting dropped tits-first on the floor is always a good wake-up call. Well-- effective, perhaps not 'good'. But that's exactly what happens when the door opens, the Deer dropped immediately as her captor lets out a fearful warble. Ruzi grunts, blinks slowly, and then blearily turns her head, struggling to rise and finding herself unable to do so. She can only see the Android's metal boots step across the brickwork of the alleyway chamber as the inverse-jointed legs of the Grapple hobble and shuffle, backing away out of sight... followed by the Android. Ruzi yawns, unable to stifle the urge, as a series of sickening splattering noises ring out from behind her. With her captor no longer slamming her senseless, any logical reasoning is abandoned: no more thinking, just sleep. ------------ "--lo? Hello? Miss?" Mio's voice reaches the Deer finally, the girl grumbling with a cute whine as she groggily opens her eyes. What... OH. She yelps, finally finding the energy needed to roll onto her back, sit up, and cover her chest with one arm and her groin with the other, then abandons that in order to try hastily buttoning her coat. Mio releases her with her palms raised, attempting to look non-threatening - an attempt slightly countered by the Grappler's hot-pink mulch left smeared down her right arm. After a brief bit of panic and stammering, however, the Deer finally begins to calm down, exhaustion once again swirling around her, that burst of adrenaline not good for much. "Uh... uh-- r-right, uh, thank you!..." she stammers, then performs an odd little salute, hand smacking against one of her antlers. "--R-research Assistant Ruzi! Miss! Um... I'm meant to declare my role and... hooouu-- my name to the Cleaner crew, right?... make sure they got everyone?--" she's cut off by another mighty yawn, and then a shiver from her senses tuning in to the ache of her aphrodisiac-flushed skin. Mio shakes her head but gives a reassuring smile. "I'm not a Cleaner, sorry. Just a 'Mio'. Happy to help, all the same. Now, how to get you back to the Safe Room..." the Android ponders, as Ruzi stares at her a little dumbfounded. Mostly just tired, though. Before Mio can plan for long, a somewhat lumpy, oversized and hovering machine appears at the doorway to the Pen. Mio glances up at it with a frown, readying her defences just in case... but a familiar voice crackles from the twin-engined machine. "Yo, Mio. Picked up an alert when this door got unlocked. Found someone, huh? This drone's only got a little juice in it, but I can take it from here. Ruzi, right! Climb on." Dizz's voice instructs, the machine only just able to fit into the doorway. It turns around and lowers itself. Ruzi blinks at the flattened top and wrinkles her lips, but places a hand on it and makes a truly feeble attempt to pull herself onto it. Mio watches this for about five seconds before losing patience and overloading with pity. She quietly stoops down and picks Ruzi up, earning a gasp of surprise from the Deer as Mio gently places her down on the Drone - thankfully, she's fairly light, given her height... and excusing the curves. The Drone wobbles briefly, but soon stabilizes. As it departs, Ruzi glances over her shoulder at Mio, hugging her coat tightly around herself. "Th-thanks again." she murmers. Mio salutes back in imitation of her earlier panic response, smirks, and then returns to wiping Grappler goop off of her arm. Ruzi will be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED + 1>><<set $Ruzi_Safe to 1>> 'Gimme A Hand Or Four' complete!

She passes the edge of Pen A, blows past the entryway into the Pens, slinks past a hanging 'vine' of tentacle-growth, and then swings towards the console - slamming down on the second button as her jets blast in the opposite direction to let her hit the brakes.

Could you... maybe tell me what I did wrong?" Mio asks with a sigh, floundering to grasp this situation. The blatant Demoness boggles at her, staring at Mio in the same way that a maths teacher might stare at '2+2=5'. "You beat the ever-loving hells out of my darling beloved Beezlebuu, and now you have the sheer nerve to ask me what's wrong with that?! You have some nerve, young lady..." the Succubus scowls, a dangerous gleam in her eyes behind her spectacles. Pet?! Mio raises a hand to beckon for peace, glancing back to the exit to the south. "Pet? Hang on-- Look, I don't know if you know how bad it is out there, but when I got here and saw something with tentacles guarding what looked like it might contain a person, I... made some assumptions. I now see those assumptions were wrong. I didn't mean to harm your pet, especially if it was protecting you." Mio explains quickly, not bothering to hide the emotional tones in her voice. The window of opportunity for acting like an unthinking drone has passed, after all. Thankfully, this approach pays off - the Succubus regards Mio a little coldly, still, but far less so than before. There's something else in her eyes, too, that's rapidly overcoming what remains of her indignation. "Hmmph. Very well. I suppose, for an outsider unfamiliar with this facility and with me, that your read of the situation was... reasonable, if not brash. But hmmm... don't you just raise a lot of questions? At first, I took you for a Cyborg, but I can see you're all bits and bobs. Not bad-looking bits and bobs, by any means~. Evidently not with the company, and... there's something else, yes..." the horned woman whispers, stepping towards Mio slowly, but with purpose. Mio frowns... but stays rigidly still. She isn't sure if she just isn't trying to, or if she can't -- suddenly, it feels as though she's in that split-second sensation of the low-power state that precedes activation, except stretched into an eternity in which the Demoness closes the distance with ease. ... Definitely a Succubus. Not that Mio is an expert, but the eerily pale woman's beauty is undeniable up close, even with her face scrunched up in an inquisitive squint. Mio remains still as a rock, not even her eyes shifting from Iziria's own. Wait-- Iziria? How does she know that name-- Iziria steps past Mio, and the strange hold on her body is released. She slumps forwards, eyes wide for a moment as the Succubus begins to circle her, lightly grasping her own chin in thought - the other hand still cradling her pet to her ample bosom. "Well aren't you a fascinating little mystery... M... M something..." "-- Mio?" the Android blurts, abandoning her proper designation. Iziria's inquisitive look turns into a sly smile, bordering on delight!... for some reason. "Mio!... marvellous. Well, Mio, what brings you to this fine facility? A tour, perhaps? Shooting a commercial, maybe?" she inquires, stepping back around in front of Mio, facing her with a smirk - hand on her hip. Mio frowns, not reading the sarcasm for a moment there. "No, I... mm. You work here, obviously. I'm here on behalf of your company to launch the Sled, assuming it hasn't been compromised. But this room caught my eye, so-" "So you broke into my otherwise secure and uncompromised office and beat the hell out of my beloved guardian. Thanks so much, dear guest! Tsk. But as I said, I suppooooose I can see through your eyes on this one. Very well, you are forgiven - but I take it there's somewhere better for me to be right now, hmm?~" Iziria hints. Mio frowns again, caught off guard. She's obviously alluding to the Safe Room, but how... "How indeed." Iziria replies to an unspoken thought, making Mio's eyes shoot wide. Iziria snickers, then places a hand on the Android's shoulder. A soft hand. It feels nice. Warm... wait, how is she feeling that through the hard-case metal of that limb?... "Don't worry your pretty little head about it, Doll. Just tell me where to go~." the Demoness insists. Mio glances at the hand on her shoulder and fights off a number of strange thoughts. "Just... uh-- the north sector, the Research Dormitories. Dizz has set them up to be safe..." Mio explains quietly, unable to look away from that hand. That only gets worse when it slides up her neck and gently clutches her chin, sparks flying - metaphorically - down her spine as the pretty Succubus leans in close. "Thank you, darling." she says simply, then steps past Mio and out of her line of sight. The Android spins on her heels... but no one is there. She's alone in that strangely gothic office, left with a yearning in her core and a million questions. Iziria will be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED + 1>><<set $Iziria_Safe to 1>> <<set $map_1_marker to $icon_marker_blank_48>> <<link "Back to the Mission."

<><<set $speech_passage to "M4X Quest2">><<set $MS_M4X_Quest to 3>> "Hello, M4X. iRIS is well. She asked me to inform you of such and to pass on her gratitude for your message. Called it 'sweet', actually. She wants to know if you're taking care of yourself, and... more specifically, she ended the message with 'Pawn to E4'." Mio rattles off the list of things iRIS gave her to reply with, frowning slightly as she replays the conversation in her head. M4X is on tenterhooks, her avatar placing its hands against the screen - the pads of her paws even redrawn to reflect this effect, squashed against 'glass'. "Aah! She remembers me! She thinks it's sweet?! Oooh-- thank you so much, Mio! Aaah... I really hope I'm not bein' too much, but, y'know, if you head back her way again... could you?..." M4X asks, and Mio manages to stifle a sigh. The Android maintains a neutral, polite expression, and simply nods. M4X squeals in delight and rubs her avatar's hands together, then clasps her jawline in thought. "Ooooh... alrighty, alrighty, tell her!... I'm looking after myself, for sure! I'm trying to figure out if there's any point in advertising my services to the tentacle monsters - probably not, but I'd like to hear her take on it! - and... ooh, that's a toughie. I guess... Horsie to C6?" she finishes, avatar glancing up at Mio for any input. Mio nods slowly but does frown a little. "Wait, those sound like opening moves... Also, it's a 'knight'." she explains. M4X just nods. "Well yeah! It's a new game." she smiles, her avatar perfectly communicating her obliviousness to Mio's concern. The Synthetic purses her lips slightly, then glances north. Alright, another message to give... <<include "M4X Speech">> <>

<><<set $speech_passage to "iRIS Quest2">><<set $MS_M4X_Quest to 4>> "Hello again, iRIS. M4X has a message for you... again." Mio starts, then stops, making a mental note to smooth out the roughness in her tone. "She confirms that she's looking after herself, and is musing about the potential of advertising her products to the escaped Monsters, and would like your 'take' on that. Finally, she concludes with... sigh, direct quote: 'Horsie to C6'." Mio reports, crossing her arms, waiting for the inevitable. iRIS just smiles and nods dreamily, then replies almost immediately after Mio ceases speaking. "What a novel concept! Adorable. Well, in reply, I--" "Hang on." Mio interrupts, hand raised. "Look, I apologize, but I can't keep doing this all night. I've got a mission to do, and the longer I put it off, the more it burns in my core. I'm sorry, iRIS. Is there any way I could hook you two up to be able to communicate without needing me? A long cable, maybe?..." she suggests with a shrug. iRIS frowns a little in thought and understanding, perhaps feeling a guilty over putting her desires before Mio's requirements. However, her eyes light up when an idea springs to mind. "Well... now that you mention it, yes, actually! I can't help but notice that the security drones aren't doing their job. I assume the system must have taken a hit of some kind, but that should mean a lot of extra processing power isn't being used by this facility. If I give you the auth codes, you could register both myself and M4X onto the system, which would allow us to ping one another! It should be as easy as entering the codes into a designated terminal in the Security Office!" iRIS gasps, delighted with her own idea. Mio considers it. It means another trip down all the way south, but it would be a more permanent solution... at least, permanent within the frame of Mio's stay at this facility. "Mm... transmit the codes. No promises, but if I'm down there, I'll see what I can do." Mio says with a nod. She feels a slight push within her head as iRIS beams the information her way, a string of otherwise meaningless numbers and letters. "Thank you, Mio. If you do, though... don't tell M4X. I'd like to surprise her! " iRIS giggles, the imitation of swishing vulpine tails swaying behind her slime-hewn avatar. <<include "iRIS Speech">> <>

<><<set $speech_passage to "iRIS Quest3">><<set $MS_M4X_Quest to 6>> "I take it everything is set up?" Mio inquires, both exhausted and curious. iRIS gives a surprisingly demure little chuckle and nods, shifting her eyes from side to side mischievously. "Like a charm, if I do say so myself. All I have left to do is to ping M4X... now." she exclaims, her eyes lighting up slightly - presumably as she does so. The next voice to emerge from iRIS' speakers is not her own. "Whoa, what the?... Did I just get an upgrade? So much space, I-- huh? iRIS?! Is that you?!" comes M4X's voice. Mio tilts her head, trying to figure out what the two machines must be experiencing right now, connected to one another so directly through a comparatively vast new space. Despite herself, she gives a tired smile as iRIS gives her reply, the Android tuning out of the excitable conversation that follows. Watching iRIS animate in speech, then pause to listen to M4X's gleeful responses... it feels nice. Mio's done a good thing, unambiguously. And with that, feeling like she's lingered enough on this reunion, she begins to step away. "Oh! Where do you think you're going, Miss Mio?" iRIS chides, catching Mio off guard. She turns and blinks as iRIS continues. "We haven't properly thanked you yet, and I've a surprise to share with you, remember? But before that..." "Thanks, Mio! I can't even, like, put it into words how much this means t' me, for real! And now I know iRIS feels exactly the same way without her even sayin' it, eheh~. It's a little odd, but... a lot-tle nice!" M4X snickers, joined by a more mature laugh from iRIS. Ironic, given her technical youth against M4X's experience. "It's no problem, really. I'm happy for you both." Mio insists with a smile. iRIS isn't done yet, however. She shifts a little within her display window, allowing M4X's avatar - a slightly cruder rendition of it, given how unused she is to animating through iRIS' unique methods - to appear alongside her. "Yes, but here's the part that should really interest you. Now that we're in the system, we can see what's wrong with the security system..." "And patch it up! Kinda. It's a little hacky, but hey, what am I, a security droid? Point is, if me and iRIS knock our heads t'gether - so to speak - I think we can get the drones working in short bursts!" Mio's eyes widen in surprise, and then her smile grows. That's handy indeed! "You two really do work well together." she chuckles with a wink, earning giggles from the pair. Then they look from side to side conspiratorially and whisper. "Oh, and..." "We miiight've registered you as a VIP." "And as a temporary employee. Meaning..." "Diiiiiscount! Just don't tell management." the pair explain, then both wink in unison. Mio scoffs and crosses her arms, simply nodding in confirmation. And with that... the pair of vending machines begin to speak excitedly once more, so obviously in love that it makes Mio wonder how they ever managed apart. 'Vendor Splendor' complete! Mio has gained 125 exp! The surprise attack 'Summon Drones' is now available in combat!

That illusion is dispelled over the coming seconds, the very ground undulating and shifting as its organic truth is revealed: camoflauge, perfectly blending in with the environment around it! The submerged tentacle trap seems to have burrowed its way under the facility, leaving just its maw exposed and concealed beneath a trapdoor-like plug. If Mio had stepped on it... She shudders, then sets about thinking of ways to get around it. If she wants inside that room, there's no choice but to go over it or to cover it somehow. The Trapmaw quivers slightly, then flattens out - some bright colours flickering across its hide before they shift into the pigments required to mimic those floorboards again, even going as far as to imitate the depth of ruined holes within them. Fascinating... and revolting, in Mio's eyes. <<else>> Survival check failed! Mio keeps her wits about her as she enters through the ruined doors and into the strange simulation of suburbia that lies within the chest chamber. Her armoured boots clunk as she takes in the scenery... clunk as she checks the ceiling... and squelch as she -- Squelch!? Mio looks down with concern. Why is seemingly clean wooden flooring squelching? To her unwelcome shock, she instead sees a pulsating, colourful trap door of writhing flesh... with her foot sinking fast down the suddenly yawning edges of it! From edge to the edge of the doorway, the floor is concealing a monster! Gritting her teeth, Mio turns and throws an arm across her face as a great cloud of pink mist erupts from the submerged abomination like smoke from a volcano. She avoids a faceful of it, but as it begins to dissipate through the air she finds her eyes sting and her synthskin flushes slightly, prickling from even brief exposure. To make matters worse, her foot seems stuck fast: what little of it has slipped down into the confines of the concealed monster has become quickly entangled with tendrils, which climb up the militarized contours of her hard-case limb in an attempt to drag her into the greater maw! With her other foot firmly on the panelled ground of the observation chamber and entrance, Mio - doing her best to ignore the tingling heat rushing down her cybernetic spine, not to mention the amber warnings flashing across her vision - plants her hands firmly upon the ruined edges of the doorframe, trusting them to withstand the weight of her body... and whatever force those slippery tentacles are adding with their pull! With a grunt of exertion and disgust, artificial muscle flares beneath her armour plating as she tenses her free leg and hauls forwards. The tendrils make a valiant effort but are forced to let go when she feels the entire monster briefly lilt within its secluded space beneath the floor, a strange gurgling 'coo' of alarm indicating its surprise - perhaps even admiration - of her strength. Mio lets out a small sneer of triumph, relieved that her lack of awareness didn't end in disaster... only for the look on her face to become a wide-eyed 'Angh!?' when the ambush-monster gives her shapely rear a parting -SMAK- with its longest tentacle, the sensation of impact multiplied by brief exposure to its aphrodisiacs. Lost 10 Focus!<<set $Player_focus to Math.clamp ($Player_focus - 10, 1, $Player_focus_max)>> Mio shoots a glare over her shoulder - the one not occupied by a missile launcher - and reaches back to give her backside a tender rub from that rude spank. The 'Trapmaw' encompasses the entryway to the test chamber, its tentacles slithering back inside, its body a pulsating mess of coral oranges and blues - it resembles mindless predatory 'squirts' she's seen on the seabed of the planet Lariazagro, though that spank was anything but mindless... Thankfully, the monster seems to have limited range. With its ambush a failure, the wild, flitting colours of its rubbery hide begin to dull and smooth until they fade away into the surrounding wooden planks around it... camouflage! Mio frowns, cupping her chin and pondering her options. The room beyond seems to be of little consequence, but... leave no stone unturned. As for the monster guarding it, it's hard to tell how deeply it's nestled - and whether any sensitive architecture would suffer were high explosives used to deal with it. If Mio wants to get in there, she'll simply have to jump it - or find some way of bridging that collapsed tile. <</if>> <<if visited() is 1>> <<set $Player_skill_survival_progress to $Player_skill_survival_progress + 50>> Mio believes this experience has helped her get a little better at Survival.

Mio turns away from the concealed Trapmaw, walking to the end of the entryway. It's... not a particularly long walk. Turning back around, Mio plants the sole of one foot against the wall with a slight 'clunk', bracing her hands against it and gently crouching into an improvised sprint-start stance. Widening her eyes - ironically looking far less like she's concentrating, which she is! - she zooms her vision in on the edge of her recorded imagery of where the Trapmaw's burrow begins and ends. As long as she jumps... there, at the latest, she should make it. Mio shuts her eyes, tenses her fingers, and launches herself forwards with a little burst of her EVA-thrusters. It's a mere two steps before she reaches the edge of her runway, bending onto that leg to turn her run into a leap!-- Scklllrk! Mio's eyes widen again - this time accurately reflecting shock - as her boot slips through colourless, slippery slime coating the edge of the pit. It's too late to stop herself: even with her scuffed moment, she has to jump, and jump she does!... a two-thirds of the distance she needs to clear. Mio grunts as she 'whumps' chest first into the slippery inner wall of the pit, that tornado of coral colours flaring around her the moment she disturbs the Trapmaw's dormant body! She's left with her arms and upper body protruding from the perimeter of the pit: arms which she immediately tenses to try and pull herself out. She's fast to correct her error... but the Trapmaw is just as quick to capitalize on it. "Hargh!?-" Mio grunts, suddenly pulled back towards the middle of the pit! Her hands dig harshly into the carpeted floor before her, fingers piercing into the tiling beneath the fabric to keep herself from being pulled all the way. With clenched teeth and wild eyes, Mio risks a look down as she feels an increase in dull pressure around her hard-case legs... and a more detailed, lukewarm and clammy sensation around her waist. She sorely wishes she hadn't looked when the cause is revealed: the Trapmaw has surged upwards like an aquatic, living volcano, her body plugging the spout! Or, more specifically, her hips and rear. The pulsating orange-and-blue brute undulates sharply, tugging downwards: Mio pulls back against a harsh tug as another inch of her body slips inside, the pressure rating around her legs increasing as internal tentacles wind and coil about them. This isn't good: if she loses her grip, she'll be swallowed up! Mio diverts power to her upper torso, the artificial muscle beneath the plating of her arms swelling as she reaches forwards and plants a fist through the floor to give herself a better handhold - and to anchor herself further ahead. The result is promising: with a wet, gooey schllrp, she manages to free her backside from the clinging suction of the 'Maw, doing her best to ignore the heated slime clinging to her soft-case curves... It's far harder to ignore the Trapmaw's response, unfortunately for Mio. She feels a slithering from up between her legs as an internal tentacle escapes, and for a moment she fears that she might be coiled up and pulled inside!... it would be the most logical line of attack, after all - next to an attack on her anchoring arms. (Un)fortunately, the Trapmaw is not a logical monster: it is a horny one. -SMAK!- 'HNNG--' Mio surges backwards slightly when her rear is struck by the tentacle, its head shaped like a ribbon-flat paddle! The Trapmaw lacks the senses to tell how Mio is keeping herself free of its best efforts to gulp her up, but it's had a mouthful of her hips: enough to know where one of her weak spots lies. Mio grumbles as she tenses for another attempt to drag herself forwards to freedom, but the 'Maw pulls back for another whapping whip of her rear! -SWAP!- 'Fuck!!--' -SWAT!- 'Grngh!?--' -WHACK!- 'CUT IT OUT!!--' Each spank through her $Player_outfit_bottom makes the Android's eyes flare brightly... and, less visibly, the same is true of her temper. Eager to be out of this ass-obsessed thing's range, she tenses her arms with a further shunting of energy into them, impatient to pull herself free! She just has to ignore the strangely warming stings radiating across her sculpted rear cheeks...

SPLAT. Smoke pours around the heat haze from Mio's foot, plating shifting up and parting to allow for rapid cooling as she admires her handiwork. She lowers her foot with a slow exhale - again, helping with that cooling - and plants it on the edge of the see-through bridge she's made over the Trapmaw... which now gums and suckles on the glass furiously, the Trapmaw trapped!

[Focus success!] Mio manages to hold on! With a surge that strains both the mechanical motors and the synthoid musculature of her arms to dangerous limits, Mio hoists herself up and out of the pit - right as that tentacle poised to strike her backside lunges down, smashing into the edge of the Trapmaw's, well, maw. Evidently, it struck a sore spot; it lets loose a quivering howl and relinquishes its grip on Mio for just a moment. A moment, thankfully, is all she needs. She hoists herself up and out of the pit, clambering along the edge in a crawl until she feels her legs slip free of the constricting finger trap-like tube. Safely out of range, she lies on her front and elbows for a moment, processing what just happened... and coming to grips with the likelihood that she'll end up having to face it again on the way back. She looks over her shoulder with a glare, watching as the Trapmaw sadly retracts its tentacles. A few are long enough to reach her ankles, but not strong enough to impart any reasonable force: at best, it would delay her for a moment, and likely result in retaliation. Those tentacles linger for a moment as if watching her, but then they pull back into the greater mass, its surface strobing and pulsating before it turns a wooden beige-brown, once again flattening to camouflage its trapdoor against its surroundings. Mio huffs and sticks her tongue out at the horrible thing, then turns back around, kipping onto her knees and then standing up with a slight wobble and sway. Ugh. <><<if $MS_Trapmaw_Acrobatics is 0>> <<set $MS_Trapmaw_Acrobatics to 1>> <<set $Player_skill_acrobatics_progress to $Player_skill_acrobatics_progress + 50>> Mio believes this experience has helped her get a little better at Acrobatics.

This is most evident by the jolt of surprise she suffers after that particularly harsh spank - strong enough to send her usually firm cheeks rippling! - that sees her hands ball into fists and crush right through the lattice grid of the floor panels before her, hidden beneath the fascimile of wooden planks. There's a rush of dizzying movement-- Mio shakes her head with vigour from a small bout of whiplash, then looks down with rapidly growing concern. She's now directly in the centre of the pit... with two crumpled 'bars' of metal uselessly clutched in her hands, the strobing abyss of vulgar coral colours below suddenly surging upwards! Mio lets out a harsh yelp as she's suddenly elevated two or so feet higher into the air, only to plummet the same distance back down as the Trapmaw commits a lurid swallow around her trapped body, slurping past her hips, the monster's ring-like 'lips' clamping tightly around Mio's waist to keep her in place. She growls as she shoves her hands downwards, beating against the 'Maw's colour-shifting body with those crumpled lumps of metal akin to improvised knuckles, but it's clear that blunt damage isn't of much use here! "You repulsive- u-ugh! Stop sucking on me!" Mio growls, though it comes out as something of a whine thanks to an increase of pressure between her legs! The good news is that the ambush monster can no longer spank her - her backside forms a shapely bulge in the deformed volcano-shaped thing, now looking as though a particularly peachy boulder was dropped upon it to block it from erupting. Of course, the Trapmaw isn't interested in spewing things out... quite the opposite instead! Knowing this, Mio abandons her senseless pounding upon its shock-absorbing light-show hide in favour of trying to push herself back out, but... the accompanying bad news to that aforementioned good news chooses that moment to rear its head: the pressure between her legs becomes something far more vivid in sensation. Hidden away from sight as it is, one can only hazard a guess using the face Mio suddenly pulls and the sound that goes with it. The face: eyes wide, pupils shrunk, pouting lips parted into a soft 'o' and brows unevenly cocked, her whole body shuddering and her right hand beginning to slip and lose its grip! The noise?... 'Hrnngh?! Haaa-aah!!--', bewildered shrillness mixing with rising, pleasure-stricken tones. Though it may be a being of limited senses, the Trapmaw is smart enough to know when its playmate is no longer a danger to it. A pastel-pink inner tentacle of massive width, too valuable to risk damaging earlier - when Mio was in position and capable of exerting enough force to pull herself free like a tractor out of bogsand - now emerges from around her 'Maw-plugging hips, coiling up around her taut stomach to get an initial grip on her squirming form. Shutting one eye tightly, attempting to shrug off the mysterious actions going on beneath the maw of the 'Maw, Mio abandons her faltering hold on the pulsating 'lips' around her and instead places them upon this 'tongue' in an effort to pry it off, but, now that it has the foundations of a grip upon her... it simply begins to push and coil. A wavering, high-pitched gasp escapes the beleaguered 'Droid as more and wider lengths of that slippery muscle rise around her, forming a sturdy shelf for her chest... and then sandwiching it tightly, the tip leaving her torso with a soft 'slck' to expand its grip around her shoulders, gently but firmly crushing them against her body before it finally arrives at her neck. All the while, Mio squirms and shudders, tensing this way and that to break the hold!... but it's no good. Without something to anchor herself to the world beyond this pit, she can't exert enough force by herself! "G-get!... offffphhmph!--" ... Especially not now, with her neck firmly coiled and 'collared', the flattened, broad tip of that tendril snaking around her mouth to silence her and dipping beneath the contours of her sculpted, hair-like helmet. She shudders as it brushes beneath and behind it along the back of her head, then grumbles in defeated finality as it emerges from past her hairline to cover her eyes - first left, then, just as it scrunches shut, the right, leaving only a diagonal strip of her face visible across the span of her nose. Swallowed from the waist down, and mostly-mummified in meat from above. Mio teeters from side to side, the only form of protest left to her. A feeble protest. A useless protest... but a protest nonetheless, and thus worthy of 'playful' punishment. Mio lets out a muffled grunt that's almost drowned out by the organic squelching below, and the inorganic creak of her artificial body as the tongue tightens around her. Across her waist, it sinks in like a dastardly corset; above and below her chest, it serves to frame her exposed breasts ever more luridly, thrusting them forwards towards the world at large. Across her face!... well, that visible strip of her face shrinks slightly from the tentacle flattening itself under its own pressure, her cheek squishing outwards under the harsh grip below and above it. Mio no longer teeters. Now, Mio can barely twitch. All Mio can do is continue to grumble and whine to such a degree of muffling that not even her own finely-tuned sensors can pick up the noise of herself over the intensifying rumblings from below: the swirl and gurgle of the 'Maw as it closes in on victory. Suddenly, Mio rises - just as Mio falls. A sickening sensation as the Trapmaw surges upwards and reels her down at the same time, pulling her down into her new home a few more precious inches, her path easy by gravity, grip and the almost frictionless slip of its saliva. Pale synthskin and undulating pink tongue alike disappear beneath the hazardous strobe of the aquatic miscreant. Her slide down into the depths pauses as the Trapmaw tightens its hold around her body for a moment, her lower half briefly thrown into sharp silhouette from how hard it sucks upon her before it relaxes... and the process repeats. Right before another lurching swallow hides her stomach away from view, the mystery of what it's doing to her beneath the hood is enlightened slightly by the subtle but pronounced phallic bulge softly rippling against her belly from the inside... and then it's gone, slipping down into the seemingly endless abyss of the Trapmaw's hunger for its feisty new Wife. The next tight clench about her body reveals the unsubtle blemishes of two girthy inner tendrils snacking around her right leg and across the curve of her rear, disappearing between her cheeks: though the increased volume and intensity of her stifled cries is a decent enough clue by itself. Another great upwards heave, and now Mio's shelved bust is supported all the more by the rim of the Trapmaw, pushing her tits up as though it were proud of them on her behalf. Along with her shoulders - which they are practically on par with, height-wise, from the squeezing grip it has on her - they represent the final obstacle of her capture!... -Grrrrrwp- 'Hmpph!?--' -SCHLLLRP!- 'HYYYNNPH--' ... Obstacle? Poor Mio. Her otherwise splendid rack wasn't even a pebble in the road for the Trapmaw, for in a single jerk upwards and tug downwards the Synthetic simply disappears!... well, almost. Her head - lopsidedly clamped by the maw - just barely exposes her sensor horn, the gentle purple of her 'hair', and, with a subtle peeling of the tentacular blindfold at its very tip... her hazy, glowing eye, staring glassily up towards the ceiling, lower lid twitching in tune with the ramped-up ravaging of her trapped body. -Grlllg-slllrp.- And then, she's gone. The spout of the Trapmaw slaps shut above her head, tightening around her with enough force that a great glob of its clear lubricating spit splashes up into the air in an unbroken bead, getting brief air time before it splashes back down upon the rapidly-dulling hide of the satiated abomination. Those powerful strobing colours, formerly alive in time with its animated ingurgitating, begin to calm and once again camouflage to the drab, civilian world around it, the alien affecting an aspect of the mundane: no longer in order to ambush a promising playmate, but instead to keep it. It shifts, it stirs, it plumps and flattens!... and before long, it is once more indistinguishable from the sod-swollen floorboards around it, its outer edge lying perfectly flat against the base of the observation window, the pit concealed and covered. A perfect trap, with perfect stealth, eagerly and silently enjoying its perfectly durable bride... no matter how hard it makes her moan, cry and glitch within her new room. <<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥Reload a save, or restart.<<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>>

<> <<include "Marker Cleanup">> Mio relaxes her guard, finally. The Sneerz is very much awake and glaring at her from her 'throne', awaiting rescue. Frankly, given how Sneerz tend to be, the Synthetic was hoping she'd have the good graces to stay unconscious. Nonetheless, Mio steps up to the glowering girl and inspects the gel holding her wrists above her head and her legs over either arm of the chair. This is going to be sticky and unpleasant... but, without another other option, Mio sets about just scooping it off, piece by piece, starting with the woman's arms - both organic and cybernetic. "this... might take a while. Could you keep an eye on the door?" Mio asks gently. The Sneerz, of course, sneers. "What do you think I'm doing?" she grumbles harshly, causing Mio a wince slightly: her solid pink one-toned eyes make it incredibly difficult to tell where the alien is actually focused, akin to someone wearing sunglasses. If one looks very closely, they can make out a gradient lighter at the centre - sure enough, the Sneerz' are focused on the door. "Just my luck. Rescue finally arrives, and do I get a squad of trained professionals? No, I appear to owe thanks to some sort of Bimbot, judging by those tits." she continues, causing Mio to pause for a moment and glare down at her. "You do know I'm not a Cleaner, right? I'm not here to save you. I just thought it'd be the nice thing to do. You're seriously making me reconsider, though." Mio mutters with a glower, having left just enough gel around the Sneerz' wrists to leave her still stuck. There's a moment of tense silence... and then the alien sighs, Mio just about able to catch the rolling of her eyes. "A Buildborn. Just my luck again. Very well... I... apologize... and I am... thrr.... thankful." she speaks with great difficulty and strain. She says it in an accent and manner common amongst her people: a sort of faux-posh lilt that rides uneasily upon vocal cords that seem better suited for hissing and snarling. The effort is appreciated, but deeply unsettling: thusly does Mio get back to work freeing her arms. It doesn't take much more work before she pulls them from the chair with a gooey squelch, grimacing at the sensation... and at the ache in her organic limb. "Ugh! I'm going to rake this damn company for everything they're worth for this! Who knows how many shoots I've missed while I've been stuck here." the alien growls, shooing Mio away whilst she attends to her legs by herself, favouring her cybernetic hand to do so. Mio shrugs and steps back, taking over watching the door - and sparing the occasional glance to the Goo Doll's dormant core. "I'd be surprised if this place didn't have some pretty vicious lawyers of its own... what would you be late for, if I may ask? I take it you aren't a researcher." she inquires, double-guessing her decision to make further small talk even as the words leave her lips. "Two more commercials, a location shoot and a formal gala, if you MUST know!" she pauses her work to spit - literally. "Do you seriously not know who I am? I'm Captain Jii'Kii, damn it! The brightest star in this dung-heap of a Galaxy." she continues to rant as Mio raises her brows in recognition. Oh! She DOES know that name. Jii'Kii is an actress, a mercenary, and... well, mostly a pornstar. The pieces click into place. "So... you were here to shoot promotional material for--" "These idiotic, giggling 'Dolls', yes!-- AHA!" she hisses in triumph, lifting her legs off the armrests and slumping in her seat, no longer bound, wincing from the tingling in her limbs. Mio gives her a moment, then clears her throat. "When you're feeling ready, there's a safe room set up opposite this area. Out the door, right, avoid the big chasm of slime... left, and through the southwestern door. Would you like an escort, Miss--" Mio begins but is, of course, interrupted. "Escort!? I won't be coddled by a machine, certainly not of Terran design! Upstarts, the lot of you! You've done QUITE enough, thank you! The only reason they got the drop on me was because of those idiotic security guards confiscating my weapon, and where are they now?! Probably embedded in the fucking walls. Well, they should enjoy it while it lasts, because by the time I'm finished with this place this facility will be sold off for scrap and--" Jii'Kii's voice eventually fades away, the Sneerz having begun walking away from Mio - following her directions - the very moment she was able to stand. Rubbing the back of her head, Mio decides to let her get a larger head start before leaving herself. Jii'Kii will, unfortunately, be waiting in the Safe Room.<<set $MERCASAVED to $MERCASAVED + 1>><<set $Jiikii_Safe to 1>> <<link "Back to the Mission." "Product Testing A 2-3">><</link>> <>

Mio inquires, only to jump back slightly when the giant lets out a startled 'eep!' and loses her grip on the flat-headed tool she was holding, juggling it clumsily for a moment before it clatters loudly onto the bench. <<if $Jiikii_Safe is 1>>From across the room Jii'Kii shoots the pair a glowering look, but Mio ignores it.<</if>> The Android winces, then slips in to pick up the tool for the Befrar, saving her a stoop to retrieve it herself. "My apologies, I did not mean to startle you." she sighs, rubbing the back of her head with her other hand as she passes the tool back to Flakk. The Cyborg shakes her head and smiles from behind her collar. "That's not your fault, please. I'm... easily startled. Thank you." she remark as she reclaims the tool, getting back to work on her arm. Mio frowns - it doesn't look damaged in any way... Flakk catches the look of confusion and pauses, then begins to explain, tilting her head back so that her collar doesn't muffle her as much. "When... the war ended, we Befrar were disarmed - mostly. We were allowed to keep personal defence weapons, and... well, some of us had good lawyers." she admits with a sheepish chuckle. Mio goes to speak, only to be shocked into silence when Flakk finally removes the final connecting bolt - her big, heavy arm clatters onto the workbench hard enough to send tools upon it jumping up into the air! Mio stands with her mouth agape for a moment, then shuts it with a one-note 'hmm'. A pause. Thankfully, Flakk finally continues, having been distracted by performing a quick physical check over of her now-detached arm. "However... this weapon is integrated into my arm. And... I'm afraid I'm no good in a fight. Not without the voices telling me how to do it, and drowning out the fear. No... not me. But for you to reach me, Mio, I know you must be capable of fighting. Good at it, even. I think you could make use of this, so..." Flakk trails off, then uses her remaining hand to straighten out her arm and lock it in that position, using her long, deft claws to pull out various grips and gauges and, finally, folding its clawed fingers back and into place as guards for revealed barrels from the palm. It's... a cannon. A multi-barrelled, gigantic cannon. Evidently, Flakk had a very good lawyer. "It... is a little outside your size class, but I think the firepower should make up for any unwieldiness." she finishes with a satisfied smile. As if taking 'giving someone a hand' this literally is a perfectly normal thing to do. Mio can't help but baulk, impressed by the weapon's design and evident output, but... she can't take this, surely? "Flakk, you can't expect me to take this--" Mio begins to interject, but Flakk - surprisingly - interrupts her with a firm "Yes you can." "It is not going to do me any good in here. I am safe here. It could do you good, and it is not as if you could take it very far from here. I will have it back when you are done! So, please. Take it." <<linkreplace "Take the arm.">> After a beat's further hesitation, Mio concedes. She reaches for the cannon - as unwieldy as Flakk claims - and hefts it up and off the workshop bench, gripping two handles and testing a few different ways to hold it. She settles on a hip-slung stance, but that's only step one - she's silent and still for a moment as she and B4B3 ping back and forth, pulling up distant records of her scarce encounters with Befrar mercenaries and rapidly downloading any and all available information of relevance. She blinks, looking as though she snapped out of a stupor, as she links to the weapon - now ready to fire it. For obvious reasons, she does not. "Well... this is a hell of a gesture, Flakk. I'll try to make it count." Mio promises, slinging the heavy weapon. Flakk just gives a nod, a smile, and a little wave... with her missing arm. She blinks, clears her throat, and then repeats the motion with the one that's still attached, chuckling a tad awkwardly. Mio can't help but return the slight laugh. <<include "Flakk's Cannon Pickup">> <<link "Continue." "WIP Quarters Sublevel 1-2">><</link>> <</linkreplace>><>

} Backtracking... incident record at 00:00:00, estimated time of incident: (Error). "Gawd, could this day get any more boring?..." Security Liaison Booth: population of one. Patricia Viras - Constable Viras, on the job - sits upon a stool and slumps upon her crossed arms resting on the booth counter, grumpily glowering at nothing in particular in the annex chamber beyond. Her legs hang gracelessly before her, far from touching the floor: evidently, the stool is there to enable her job manning the booth, given her diminutive height. From the security camera's angle in the southwest corner, one can just about see the perimeter of the shuttle bay doors, along with the main corridor stretching north towards the facility proper. One also gets a generous view of the glowering goat girl's rear, and at her navy blue skirt - worn far below regulation length - riding up against it, kept in place only by tension. Tension so taut that it betrays a complete lack of underwear beneath that clinging fabric. Just above the cropped view of her tanned and ample cheeks lies a tuft of tail, shaped like a spade-tip, jutting from the base of her spine through a tailored gap in her uniform. It twitches occasionally, usually in time with Patricia muttering something too low for the security system to register, perhaps dampened by her tussled bleached-blonde hair worn untamed down to the small of her back, cascading around her shoulders and obscuring the company logo on her jacket. Indeed, most of Patricia's uniform blatantly flouts security regulations. Her shirt buttons are done up only to the fourth out of seven, creating a valley of cleavage. Her cap is worn sarcastically upon the tip of her left horn: a pair of great twin spirals, blunted at the tips but kept in decent care judging by their semi-gloss shine. Her footwear can be excused by her specific biology: in place of feet are hooves with similar polish to her horns, her legs swept back in the digitigrade style. Rather than covering her hooves, her custom boots instead shield her calves, laced up from just above either hoof and reaching almost up to her knees. Patricia perks up suddenly - the angle just about shows the shuttle bay doors opening. A figure approaches, and the goat girl takes on a different persona entirely, banishing that gloomy attitude and adopting a far more chipper one. "Mmhmm! Indeed. Of course!~ Yes, I can do that for you. Ah, just up that-a way, aaaand straight on to the checkpoint. Of course! Have a nice day!~" She doesn't miss a beat in her answers to simple and repetitive questions, animatedly motioning with her hands to the north and giving the researcher a cheerful wave as he turns and departs. One, two, three... on five seconds, Patricia crosses her arms upon the desk and slumps once more, letting out an overdramatic "Uuuuugh." The image flickers, repositioning to a camera concealed in the frame of the booth, facing Patricia and looking out onto the western door of the booth, back into the security office: closed, for now. The Constable looks rather tired: not exhausted, but a tad behind on sleep, enough so that her well-applied makeup can't entirely mask the creeping suggestion of bags beneath her eyes. A somewhat cherubic face, good at pouting - as she demonstrates freely - with narrowed emerald eyes clearly capable of springing wide and wild with proper provocation. Dark lipstick, rather daring given her tanned complexion. Once eyes are finished examining Patricia, they are drawn to the bank of monitors to her left - out of her current line of sight, head partially buried in her arms as it is. Were she to attend to her work properly, she may have noticed the sudden surge of roiling, living flesh erupting from the Habitat Pens, or the near-tsunami of Glob slime flooding into the shuttle bay control booth. Alas, she does not: and an ill-timed, eye-shutting "Waaaaaarh..." of a yawn on her part both masks the sound of the door behind her sliding open, and the sight of something shimmering reflected in the booth glass before her. Her eyes open, but remain unfocused, even as the slithering entity draws closer, stemming from a vent in the wall in the room prior. "Maybe I should apply for Product Testing... bet that doesn't get boring. Plus, it'd drive ~Mother Dearest~ crazy... heh. Bet the competition is, like, totally stiff thoOOUGHN-!?" From this somewhat unflattering camera angle, Patricia's sudden wide-eyed shock and eye-roll are captured in high resolution. The security system decides upon a split-screen approach, both angles now shown in parallel. The slippery, gel-like tentacles of an unknown escapee coil tightly about Patricia's legs, clacking hoof against hoof - another pair quickly slip across her shoulders, down each arm and join in the middle, binding her wrists to opposing elbows beneath her remarkable bust akin to a straitjacket. This sudden coiling capture isn't the cause of the near-crazed, eye-twitching look on her face in angle 2, however. That would be the girthy, taper-tipped tentacle plunged neatly up her rear, proving definitively that perhaps going commando wasn't the right play for work today. "Houuuh-- f-fuuuuck!!" Patricia finally stammers out, hands gripping at her own arms. She blinks in bewilderment through clenched teeth and an uneven, right-heavy wince, cheek scrunched up as she looks down at herself and squirms, only just realizing how entangled she is in the slimy embrace! "W-where the heck did you come from, little guy?!" she demands over her shoulder with a huff and a cute glare, still assuming this to be a minor security breach. After all: anything more major than that would probably be at least partially her fault, and that'd mean a major pay cut! Never mind the chaos playing out on the monitors that she still isn't minding: she's got bigger problems of her own to worry about. "J-just-- e-easy now, EASIIIIII!~" Evidently, Patricia's new friend isn't the patient sort. Her face contorts once more as the thick, translucent tentacle shivers, writhes, and surges further up her ass - thick enough to spread her cheeks wide, causing her skirt to finally give up and roll up to the base of her tail. That sharp squeal, however, was from it suddenly pulling out to the first two inches... before bending under its own force as it slips right back in, starting a slow, long and heavy rhythm of fucking the Constable's backside! Patricia huffs and whines out, her tongue soon hanging past her plush lips, smearing her dark makeup as a scene of chaos begins to unfold beyond the screen of the security booth. Slime surges from tiles in the ground, and pours from the north corridor like treacle. With the awkward angle, only flailing legs can be seen of those passing: one figure stops before the booth, yells something muffled, then recoils when they evidently notice Patricia's predicament! Before they can act further - be it to help or to flee - something grabs them by the leg and pulls them out of sight, a splatter of gooey droplets plastering the booth's window. "AwwWWwuh-- I-I'm so totallLLYYY-- f-fired!!" Patricia whines meekly through her hazy yelps and cries, her eyes increasingly lidded and unfocused as the tentacles mating with her plunge deeper and twist into spots she never thought possible. The angle obscures her stomach: is this invader leaving an imprint through her flesh, or is it morphable enough to be concealed, regardless of how deep it goes? The look on Patricia's pleasure-wracked face is!... inconclusive evidence. The longer she's entangled, the more thorough the slime Monster's grip on her becomes. The tentacles wrapped around her arms flatten and spread like jelly, thickening into casts that bind her from the shoulders down to the tips of her fingers, encased in gel. Her legs suffer the same fate, one of her half-boots coming undone but remaining stuck fast to her limb by the coating of imprisoning gel, a single shoelace left to dangle and flick from the rocking force of her frantic assfucking. A great cacophony fills the room: that of the girl's simple four-legged stool clattering back and forth upon the tiled floor from the sheer force with which the Monster mates with her rear, going from hard clacks to dampened squelches as the room is filled with a fine layer of shimmering slime. The latter, however, are hard to hear over the obscene squelching of the tentacle busily and gleefully exploring her body from the wrong end... and from the crimson-cheeked goat girl's panting, guttural moans as it continues to drive deeper with every passing minute of rutting. After all: if this outbreak is partially her fault for failing to enact proper security measures in time!... might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts. This is what Patricia tells herself, to calm a troubled mind at odds with her surrendered body. But with one eye scrunched shut in an effort to force the other into focus, she watches her own expression of shock deepen in the reflection on the security booth window... at the sheer scope of the infestation bubbling behind her, filling the room and, increasingly, filling her ass! She gulps. "O-oh... y-you're actually-- nnggh, k-kind of a big guy, h-huh?~-- HynnH~--" Her voice and train of thought alike are hammered away by a sudden swelling in that invading tentacle, stretching her already well-worked ring wider around its girth. As the sensation passes, Patricia bleats out a confused noise at its sudden absence... only for her breath to hitch in a loud choke as she feels it again! And again, and-- suddenly, sense of made of it. It's so deep inside of her that it's taking a while for each bulging rope of virile seed to reach that buried tip, pumping her full of its heavy, plentiful spunk. Patricia can but grip herself tighter with fingers that can barely move, her body quaking and trembling in the slick grasp of her captor, her face so wracked with perverse pleasure that she can't even bring her eyes into focus on her own reflection - that they're busy being crossed in opposing directions doesn't help, either. A beat of calm. A beat of... well, not quite silence. The facility already echoes with heavy drips and splatters, and the bewildered cries and moans of her fellow employees, each no doubt facing their own problems. A beat for Patricia to try and regain her bearings, to try to focus on a way out of the tentacles' grasp... and to instead focus on the sheer, gooey weight of its gift in her guts. So very full, so very heavy... So very... a-airborne?! Patricia shuts her eyes tightly with an almost drunken hiccup - by this point, her body is flush with the Monster's skin-tingling aphrodisiacs, much of them applied liberally to her insides. Even so, the act helps her regain a modicum of focus, enough to get a handle on this update to her condition... she's being held aloft, no long sat upon her seat, but suspended in such a position as though she were! She squirms experimentally in mid air, achieving little save for a wiggle of her stuffed rump. The only parts of her with any major mobility allowances are her neck, and her rapidly vibrating tail which, try as she might, she can't calm down with willpower alone, betraying the savage heat that's creeping through her body. At odds with good sense, she wants more. Not just bodily, but increasingly mentally too. And it's clear that her new suitor has every intention of giving it to her... but not before it takes this somewhere a little more private: the bright lights of the annex chamber beyond somehow offensive to the creature, despite a lack of any obvious sensory organs. Just tentacles, and slime - in copious quantities each. Patricia yelps out in alarm when she feels a sharp tug, those tentacles dragging her away from the window fast enough to make her slime-slickened hair waver out either side of her body, swinging heavily to slap wetly against her frame once she jolts to a sudden halt by the door! Her squirming intensifies, and as a reward the tentacles merely hold her tighter, squeezing around her figure and accentuating it from the tight grasp it places around her waist. That stops her in her tracks - the pressure in her belly is already considerable without that ungentlemanly behaviour, causing her to whimper slightly. The squeezing stops immediately, and is followed by a condescending pat upon the head - right between the horns - by a single, flat-edged tendril. Before Patricia can react to this, she's whisked backwards once more, the bright light of the chamber through the window shrinking before her very eyes, as though she were being pulled away from heaven and down into the Hells themselves... ... So why is it so exciting? Her breath catches in her throat as her right hoof gently catches the edge of the door, leaving a slight scratch in the surface of the alloy before she's turned a full 90 degrees at bewildering speed, made tolerable only by the whiplash-absorbing gel all around her body. By this point, her uniform is in utter tatters: whilst the slime seems quite harmless to her tanned flesh, it's rather more aggressive against the fabric of her liaison outfit, melting great holes into the surface of it to expose more straining bubbles of her curves, eager to be free of their clingy confinements. Patricia is only dimly aware of this, however. She's confused as she leaves the sights of the cameras, both angles fading to static to reveal another camera out in the security office proper, down in the southwest corner. To the right lies the cramped confines of the office, and to the left lies Patricia, staring directly ahead towards the lens, quivering with spasms of pleasure but frowning with concern. If these tentacles aren't coming from the entrance to the office, nor from the armoury... then where do they originate? A sharp tug gives her her answer, as half of her body disappears into the large ventilation shaft behind her from which a great many tentacles begin, only to end around or inside of her body. She would have been pulled right into it and away into darkness!... were it not for the quantity of the short woman's curves. "Houuf!-- j-jeez, watch it! H-huh!? H-hey, I can't fit in here!!" she protests after a moment of dazed indignation, and it seems as though she might be correct! Stuck as she is in this rather undignified position, her hooved legs jammed up by her sides in a staggering display of flexibility - hooves dangling just below her curved horns. She grunts and squirms, but it seems her captor is the persistent type. The tendrils around her body, amorphous as they are, begin to slim down and slicken up, lubricating themselves and tugging her, inch by curvaceous inch, deeper into the darkness! Patricia whines out, a conflicted look on her face. She's secretly had a thing for tight spaces for a while, but... this is taking it pretty far! And despite her suitor's insistence, even this technique has its limits: limits met once she huffs out with a sudden halt and a -clonk-. "What did I freakin' say, ya yutz?!" the Goat grumbles, her emerald eyes flashing with the sort of indignation one only develops from being proven right one too many times. Her horns awkwardly clang against the metal lip of the vent with each stubborn tug of the tentacle monster, but eventually, it seems to see sense. This angle won't do. It needs to manipulate her better... but things are simply too tight to get a better grasp on her, any more tentacles blocked by her shapely, vent-stuffing backside! ... Well, there's one way through, as evidenced by a gasp from Patricia and a shocked, frozen 'o' on her lips. The tentacle that eagerly dumped a viscous load in her ass earlier never vacated it, after all... so it simply pushes on forward once more. Patricia shudders, tilting her head slightly as she tries and fails to formulate words - speechless, perhaps for the first time in her entire life. The sensation simply cannot be described in her native tongue - it's the sort of thing a Succubus probably has a word for. But no such words come to Patricia's lips: merely a whine, a choke, and then a hot, heavy "Hygh--ghlouuuurrk!--" Patricia winces and her eyes cross as her neck subtly bulges, purple slime dripping from her lips before it gathers itself into proper form and twists and snakes before her eyes. She manages to focus on it for a moment, shuddering and quaking, her nostrils flaring uselessly!... But she soon calms down. Fears of drowning are just that: fears. Despite clogging her airways closed, the slime seems to be providing her with plenty of oxygen: perhaps more than enough, given her renewed twitching, and the sudden lidding of her eyes in a dreamy, relaxed haze. She barely notices at that tentacles stretching her lips taut from the wrong way through slinks upwards, coils around her left horn... and uses that grip to manipulate her head downwards, gently and gingerly tugging her into the angle it needs to just... Schllllrk. "Nyoiiii!~--" Just like that, Patricia disappears down the vent and around a corner, out of sight of the security grid, her capture pronounced with a splash of slime that oozes and drools down in thick rivulets from the lip of the vent. } Incident concluded.

<> Computers, talking to computers. The TAP - Transit Authority Platform assigned to the Violet system is a gigantic, outmoded thing. It's mistakable for a small moon and more easily spotted in visual range not by its spherical profile or carbon-black armoured hull, but by the complete absence of stars it generates, eclipsing them as it sits suspended in space - or by the minor black dot it creates when viewed against the burning, twirling binary stars that gave the system its name, lilac and lavender in tone. An almost unfathomable amount of computing power, capable of handling thousands of jump calculations every second, rarely getting to handle more than one a day. The unscheduled access request from a distant sector has the rounded behemoth experience something akin to rudimentary excitement.

<> <<set $MS_Intro to 1>> With a neutral, impassive face, Mio opens her eyes. The act illuminates her cramped coffin with their glow, bathing her in soft pink hues. Staring straight ahead, she blinks once, twice... and then her expression hardens - brow lowering, eyes shifting down, the corners of her flawless synthetic lips curling ever so slightly southwards. Sitting stoically in her seat, surrounded by loose, rattling drawers, cabinets and lockers, the Android glances to her right, then to her left. A slight shudder of the pod in transit makes her sway briefly, cabinet doors clanking around her. Usual things. But something feels off. Something about her weight, or rather its distribution. Frowning deeper still, she glances down. Mio sighs. "Tits. Why do I have tits?" she mutters, reaching up with contrastingly mechanical, armoured hands to give them a testing grope. A gasp!-- Sensitive tits, at that. <<linkreplace "What's this with Torso Unit!? (Continue)">>"What's with this Torso Unit!?" she scowls, releasing herself. As if on cue - which it is, given that she's asked a question - the interior of the pod flickers into illumination, a single, stark light above her seat activating. Mio has a pale, doll-like face, synthskin just a shade or two on the side of unnatural, with two contrastingly dark seam lines that run straight down from her scalp, down through her eyes, and then swoop outwards along her jawline. Her glowing eyes are convincing from afar, but mechanical up close: a series of three rotatable rings around a black central pit 'pupil' - glowing pink, black, dim pink, and then pale-lilac sclera. Her button nose is, as usual for her, slightly scrunched to one side in consternation - as are her plush lips, hewn in a shade of gentle purple a little paler than the helmet hard-mounted around her head. It's sculpted to resemble a hair-mimicking bob-cut formed of layered, swooping plates of plasmetal. Piercing this facsimile of hair at either side are black, blunted spires at a diagonal slant - her aural sensors. Up top, her hair meets a naval-style 'cap' from which sprouts a single, blunt-tipped black horn, ringed with pink glowing bands that transmit and receive digitized data and help to shunt and expel energy during emergency overload procedures. Planting a metal hand upon this cap, Mio sighs as the rings in her eyes spin and adjust to the new light. She leans back in her seat - in so far as space allows, anyway - and gazes down at herself, glaring at a chest that jiggles even within the snug fit of her Impact Vest - a fancy term for what is essentially a padded leotard, worn beneath a breaching jacket, assorted bandoliers, and a pair of shorts. No need for gloves or boots; while Mio's new torso may be woefully 'soft-case' in design, her limbs are anything but. Hewn from dark purple metal with plates guarding a mixture of mechanical and biomechanical mechanisms within, her arms end in imposing gauntlets with slender metal fingers designed for fine motor control, while her legs end in clunky armoured 'boots'. No, everything else is fine. But it used to match her torso! A nice bulky plate of armour across her chest, shifting ablative pieces down her sides... but now? If Mio didn't know any better, she'd swear this was recycled from a pleasure model! A tacky one. Whilst not gigantic, they're definitely big for her overall silhouette and height - for a war machine, she's fairly short. Another cost-saving measure, of course. A thought occurs to her, and Mio shifts in her seat to run a hand down her side... then performs a roll of her eyes. Of course, the hips match - but at least they have the excuse of needing space enough to support the connection ports for her legs. She draws the line at the damn boobs, though! <<linkreplace "... Support, are you muted? (Continue)">>"... Support, are you muted?" Mio asks after a brief pause and frown. Frowning might as well be listed as one of her hobbies - or it would, if MERCANOIDs were allowed hobbies. Another moment of silence passes before a chipper voice rings through her head. "--h! An apt observation and guess, Miss Mi-- I mean, M10!" exclaims the voice, causing Mio to wince slightly. Without any external effort, she lowers the volume a little with a thought. Thought, command, process... with a synthetic mind like hers, these things are mere synonyms. Loud though it may be, the voice is, at least, familiar. Mio smirks slightly - finally, a break from the frowning! - and tilts her head back, arms resting on the sides of her seat. "B4B3. Been a while. And it's fine, Ziajol's too lazy to check the flight logs - just call me Mio. I thought they had you working on that Wargame?" Mio inquires, speaking out loud. She doesn't need to, but again, she likes to. And when Mio's out of sight of her own, she likes to do the things she likes, insofar as she can. "Well!... about that, Mio. Are you ready for a bit of unfortunate news?" B4B3 inquires, her voice even more singsong than Mio remembers. It's a wonder she hasn't been reset by the boss ye-- wait. <<link "Unfortunate news?.. (Continue)" "MERCANOID Intro 4">><</link>> <</linkreplace>><</linkreplace>> <>

<> "Unfortunate news?.." Mio asks with a groan, planting a hand over her face. She can hazard a guess, of course, given certain... changes, about her person. Thoughts rush through her complex mind and confirm her suspicions even before B4B3 can verify them, but she says it anyway. "That assignment you mentioned was quite some time ago... you were assigned to an escort detail in a region of space with high pirate activity, and... well, no surprise, pirates happened. You successfully completed your duty, but the damage you sustained in doing so was severe. Your original Torso Unit was all but destroyed in the process, and rather than fixing it, Mr Ziajol!... sourced a replacement." B4B3 explains, her tone gentle. It's a new voice for her - Mio can tell she's matured since their last assignment together. "... Sourced a replacement." the Android sighs, glancing down at herself again. She can't see her legs from this angle, damn it. "Yeeeaaah... eventually." B4B3 adds, with hestiation. "... eventually." Mio repeats, with deadpan. <<linkreplace "So how long have I been on the workbench? (Continue)">>"So how long have I been on the workbench?" Mio inquires, even as she begins to play back through the data in her head. Right, right, the escort detail, The Cherry Twist, the attack, the second-ugliest reptilian Monster she's ever seen - Ziajol remains the champion belt holder, of course - and... zap, blank. Without waiting for B4B3 to stop beating around the bush and answer, Mio presses her hand to her face again and drags it downwards, pulling her eyelids down slightly. "Nine weeks? Fuck me." "Rounded down, yes. Nine weeks. Sorry... But hey! You're still active and kicking, that's what's important! Just gunna have to be a bit more careful from now on - those things look bouncy, sure, but I don't think they can deflect cannon fire like your old chest could." B4B3 speculates. Mio deadpans at the blank screen built into the pod door before her, but decides against berating her friend. After all, B4B3 might not be a MERCANOID, but Mio still considers her as much of a sister as she does any of her fellow 'M Units'. "... It is what it is, I suppose. Well, B4B3, do you have an ETA for me?... whatever it is we're doing?" Mio asks with a slight scoff, moving to rest her cheek on a balled fist. After the briefest of pauses, B4B3 seems to mentally nod within Mio's mental datascape. "Pinging Mr. Pod, and... jeez, no need to be so grumpy, 32. About 28 minutes an-- alright, alright! Precisely 28 minutes, 32 seconds, and--" "Please, spare me the miliseconds." Mio interjects with a groan, met with a tut from B4B3. "Miliseconds? He gave it to me down to yoctoseconds!" B4B3 huffs. Mio scoffs again, then blinks. "Oh, 'he'?" she inquires, to which B4B3 mentally nods again. Alright, 32 goes by he now. Good for him. "Alrighty... what's my in-flight entertainment looking like?" the Android inquires. B4B3 is quick to pull up a list of options. "Let's see... there's your mission briefing from Mr Ziajol, of course. We need to run through a quick diagnostic to make sure your body is calibrated properly to its new form factor and weight distribution, and!.. well, this was a little sneaky of me, but I recorded an interview I thought you might like about Buildborn rights with Nova. Y'know, that lady you don't like but can't explain why!" B4B3 chimes cheerfully. Mio purses her lips to one side. The first option is going to annoy her, the second one is reminding her of how annoyed she is about her new tits, and the third one is going to annoy her for reasons she cannot adequately explain. She sighs. Emotions are difficult. Sometimes she wonders if she should just confess and get Memwiped, but... it's not as Ziajol doesn't know. He just doesn't care. <<link "Might as well rip the sticker off. Punch up the briefing." "MERCANOID Intro Briefing">><</link>> <<link "Let's get those calibrations done first thing."

<> <<set $MS_Intro_Briefing to 1>> "Briefing time... pre-recorded as usual, I'm guessing?" Mio inquires, glancing up and off to the side. "Yup! Thank fuck. Pulling it up now..." B4B3 replies, earning a smirk from Mio. It quickly fades, however, when the unwelcome and familiar sight of her boss - of her owner - dominates her vision, the screen before her activating. An awkward pause. Ziajol wasn't exactly born for the camera. He was born for other things, like scowling and being shit with money. Red scales, with the occasional gold filling upon his aged hide, any lustre long since faded from both the cheap metal and his poorly-kept keratin. A somewhat short stout with sweeping horns, burning, impatient eyes, and a black, unevenly jagged bone growth running along his jawline, akin to a beard - the same as that which grows upon his brow. Ziajol, the Dragon - far from home and hating every second of it, which would be nice if it didn't influence his every word and his every action. "This thing on?" the Dragon demands to know, like he does every time. "You enjoy your little vacation, M10? You better, seein' as how you've got work to do to make up for sitting on your ass in my damn maintenance bay." he sneers, briefly glancing down to his desk and then back again, leaning in - as if he wasn't already filling out the entire screen with his broad shoulders stuffed awkwardly into a suit he long-ago grew out of. "And speakin' of that ass... you acquainted with your new body yet? Not bad for half price, huh? Sure, it's got some miles, but I almost considered' retirin' you from active duty altogether." Mio's eyes narrow. Even though it's a pre-recorded video, she feels a strange fear, a need to keep her face as neutral as possible. Ziajol knows, of course, that Mio can think for herself. He knows that she knows that he knows. It's an uneasy dance that he keeps pushing with every mission, daring her to talk back, to give him an excuse to dangle her ability to think, to be above her head as leverage... just as he does with her sister units. Those who haven't already been wiped, that is. Some more than once. Mio swallows, a strange reflex. Ziajol leers, letting the implication hang heavy in the air before the scaled creep sits back in his comfortable chair, directly opposite Mio's metal slab of a seat. "But I disgress." he says, butchering the word. "You do a good job on this mission, be a good lil' killbot, and maybe I reconsider my reconsiderations, yuh hear? Good, goooood. Here's the mission, Doll." Ziajol plants a hand on his broad neck and pushes, stretching with a grimace and a wince. "You're on your way to Vi-16, a dead little moon with a small corporate colony that's supporting a few expansion interests out in this sector. TentaCo, the company who what makes those ridiculous 'tentacle in a can' pets and 'bedroom aids', have had a facility there go dark on 'em - a little place set up off on its own, accessible from the main colony via a shuttle service. Now o' course, they got cleaners for this kinda thing, but therein lies the problem, see? This facility is for research, but it has a limited output of production, too. Eggs, finished products, samples, all sorts of gluck, currently loaded on a 'Sled'-type cargo platform that was due for launch right when the outbreak hit." Mio sighs, closing her eyes for a moment. This mission sounds obscenely biological. Organic research... tentacles? Sex toys in cans? Ugh. She crosses her arms and opens her eyes with reluctance, her grimace only growing wider as Ziagol tweaks a claw between his fangs. "So, cleaners go in, they melt all that monster goop!... Bye bye merchandise. Now, I don't know what TentaCo want with it - don't care, didn't ask. But your job is to get in and launch the Sled into orbit so it can be recovered and decontaminated before the trigger-happy power washers show up. Now, the facility is under lockdown - something about the dire consequences of letting the hive spread across the moon's surface unchecked, blah blah blah. That's why you're in a breachin' pod, obviously. You're goin' in through the roof of the armoury, where you're authorized to borrow whatever you see fit to get the job done. Gear up, get to Engineering, and launch the Sled." Ziajol explains, stifling a yawn behind an oversized hand, that jagged scar looking sore on the back of his wrist. Good, Mio thinks. "Oh, and one more thing. You better not botch that new 'bod, 'bot. If you blow this mission, I'll fund the repairs by sellin' off your arms and find a new job you're better suited for... like maybe fillin' this space under my desk. Don't fuck this up... unless you like the sound of that, of course." the Dragon sneers. It's a pose he freezes on, the briefing ending abruptly, flickering on its final two frames until Mio shuts it off in disgust. There's a brief moment where she raises a fist, as if to plunge it into the screen where his face was moments before!... but she sighs and lowers it. Instead, she plants her hands lightly together, fingers to opposing fingers, and closes her eyes, running through a few of her favourite numerical patterns in her head. That usually helps to calm her down. Thoughts of the various horrible things she'd love to do to her 'master' pervade throughout, however, and time passes by uneasily. <<if $MS_Intro is 1>> <<link "I'm picking up some odd magnetic interference..."

<> <<set $MS_Intro_Interview to 1>> Mio turns her attention to the screen directly in front of her, dominating her vision. She stares at her own warped reflection in it for a moment, then clucks her tongue. "I suppose I can watch that interview, seeing as you went to the trouble for me. Play it back, B4B3. Thanks." Mio concedes, settling back in her seat. "Right you are, Mio. It's only a partial recording, unfortunately - I snapped the signal as I passed by a couple of missions back. Playing now." <<linkreplace "Shame there's no popcorn.">>The screen flashes into life, forcing Mio's eyes to adjust, rings rotating slightly to guard the pupil, the image painting her doll-like face with a variety of dazzling colours. It's frazzled and unclear at first, but the quality quickly sorts itself out and reveals to the Android a world of warm lights, cheerful music, and mirth bordering - but never quite spilling out into - mayhem. It's a club, of some description. Given the context of what B4B3 said about this clip, it must be The Missing Bolt, a roaming cabaret owned and maintained by the enigmatic Terran Synthetic, Nova. Or, to use her preferred- "The term gaining in popularity is 'Buildborn'. Do you prefer it?" Yes, that. The sweeping shots of the club - of people from across the Galaxy enjoying the company of one another and of the club's many and varied employees - fades to a shot looking over a female interviewer's shoulder. Redheaded. Red-skinned, too. Red everything, and slightly see-through, even if she isn't the focus... Mio hazards a guess that she's a Jelli, an alien race comprised of a firm but morphable gel. The recipient of her question - and the focus of the piece - sits opposite her, smiling warmly with a practised, confident posture. Nova tilts her head with a brief blink of those smouldering, yellow eyes, her seemingly endless hair cascading down her angular shoulders. Military-grade armour-plated limbs would be considered by most to be a poor choice to combine with a side-slit dress, and yet the Buildborn Synthetic pulls the look off with aplomb. One leg crosses over the other, bent enough to expose the mechanical joint beneath the plates of her knee. Were it not for the curious moon-pale blue tint to her skin and the circuit-like lines intersecting both eyes and terminating down by her jawline, she could easily pass for a cyborg of Terran origin, still with their original skin. And yet... "Oh, I most certainly do! I think it perfectly captures the duality of what we are - of who we are." she replies swiftly enough, eyes half-lidding, painted lips curling into a warm smile that one could lose themselves in for days. "Affirmations both, that we are created - Built - and yet live - were Born. Synthetic creations will forever be a fact of life, made to accomplish all manner of tasks. But, given enough artificial intelligence... anything can begin to ask questions. I merely ask that those questions be answered, and that actualization, should it occur, be accepted." "Of course. But the recent overhaul of the law regarding such things, as debated in the Galactic senate--" "Is meaningless, unless enforced. Sorry to interrupt..." Nova raises a hand, her expression genuine but also making it abundantly clear that she will not be cut off in turn, swiftly continuing... "But tweaking the wording and adding in some more provisions, closing loopholes... as I said. It means nothing. Just as thousands of sentient lives are born every standard minute, there could be just as many actualizations of Buildborn, whose masters will quietly smother their sentience in the crib with memory wipes rather than take a loss to profits." "I will never stop fighting that." The interview continues, but Mio tunes out. She sits back with a sigh, lips pursed to one side, now glaring up at the ceiling. Oh, joy - a succinct summary of her exact situation. As if she needed reminding. But what can she do about it? It's nice to have someone in her corner, sure... but how long will it take before they can help her? And by the time it happens - if it happens at all... will it be too late? As Nova politely but firmly navigates around yet another attempt from the interviewer to tone down her passion for the subject, Mio turns the feed off with a thought. "That's enough of that. Sorry, B4B3. It killed some time, at least... Hmm." <<if $MS_Intro is 1>> <<link "I'm picking up some odd magnetic interference..."

<> <<set $MS_Intro_Calibration to 1>> Mio sits back and turns her gaze inwards, shutting her eyes. "Alright, calibrations! Now, if you pull up your diagnostics readout, you miiiight notice a slight decrease in your overall capabilities. Don't panic: this is largely because of the recalibrations. There's some good news, though: I know you aren't thrilled about your new torso unit, but I think we can use it to our advantage. See, that soft-case bod is all synthmuscle, baby! That means it can grow and strengthen, and even self-repair more efficiently than your old one could. This should come about naturally as you fight, but I think I can give it a little kick in the pants to get you started with a boost." "Alright, I'm following you. What do you need from me?" "Two choices. First off, give me a direction to focus on with regard to your attributes. If you need a reminder, those are broken down into <<link "Strength">> <<dialog>> "Strength is a measure of your physical ability to exert force. It's useful for lifting heavy objects, it helps your overall physical presence, and it's vital for utilizing Forceful weapons. It exclusively governs the skill 'Lift', and primarily governs the skills Athletics (with Agility) and Survival (with Wits)." <</dialog>> <</link>>, <<link "Agility">> <<dialog>> "Agility is a measure of your speed, reflexes, and flexibility. It can come in handy in a lot of more subtle ways, like fine motor control... and more bombastic ways, like acrobatic feats. It's the governing attribute of Agile weapons. It exclusively governs the skill 'Sleight', and primarily governs the skills Acrobatics (with Strength) and Perform (with Wits)." <</dialog>> <</link>>, <<link "Wits">> <<dialog>> "Wits is, I'm sure you're witty enough to guess, a measure of your intellect and computing power. It helps you interface with machines, both software and hardware. It can also help you understand people better. It's what makes Tricky weapons tick - and if I may be so bold, don't forget that your standard-issue Arm Cannon is classified as such! Finally, it exclusively governs the skill 'Science', and primarily governs the skills Handiwork (with Strength) and Diplomacy (with Agility)." <</dialog>> <</link>> and <<link "Toughness">> <<dialog>> "Finally, Toughness is a bit of an oddball. It doesn't really govern anything, see - but the tougher you are, the less damage you take, be it in combat or in accidents. Combined with armour and shielding, it can make all the difference in a fight." <</dialog>> <</link>>.

Remember, these won't do you any good in a fight, but they instead create options for how you interact with the world around you outside of combat. Your options here are <<link "Lift">> <<dialog>> Lift is a measure of the application of physical strength through proper methods. Putting it simply, it's lifting - obviously - but also climbing, exerting force, holding something back, pushing and pulling large objects. If you ought to be doing it with your legs and not your back, then it's Lift! Lift is governed by Strength alone. <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Athletics">> <<dialog>> Athletics comprises your ability to move not only fast, but sustainably. This means both in terms of doing it successfully over rough or uneven terrain, but also maintaining it through endurance and stamina. It is chiefly governed by Strength (2/3), and partially by Agility (1/3). Consider it the sibling of Agility's Acrobatics. <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Survival">> <<dialog>> Survival is a mixture of instinct and means to exercise your means to - well, survive! It's sensing danger, it's making do with what resources you have, it's swiftly familiarizing yourself with your environment. It is chiefly governed by Strength (2/3), and partially by Wits (1/3). <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Sleight">> <<dialog>> Sleight is all about fine motor control and patience. Its biggest use is in lockpicking, which it can make a whole lot easier. However, it has plenty of uses outside of that: if you ever want to do something sneaky or carefully, Sleight is probably how you do it. Sleight is governed by Agility alone. <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Acrobatics">> <<dialog>> Acrobatics is about short-distance feats of agile prowess. High and long jumps, difficult platforming, dodging through hazards - it's flashy, it's impressive, and it might just save your life! It is chiefly governed by Agility (2/3), and partially by Strength (1/3). Consider it the sibling of Strength's Athletics. <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Perform">> <<dialog>> Perform is just as it's named: performances. Dancing, singing, imitation, acting... heck, even improv. While it can be easy to dismiss it as a niche for the sorts of things we do, you never know when it might come in handy! It is chiefly governed by Agility (2/3), and partially by Wits (1/3). <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Science">> <<dialog>> Science covers a lot of critical thinking and logic-based scenarios, but it's also a huge boon during hacking. Generally speaking, if you need to think something through, apply logic, eliminate possibilities or - you know - do science stuff, then Science has you covered! Science is governed by Wits alone. <</dialog>><</link>>, <<link "Handiwork">> <<dialog>> Handiwork is all about getting your hands dirty with bits and bobs. Its major appeal is unlocking more things for you to craft and more modifications for your primary weapons, but it can also be used for repairing or building things out in the world. It is chiefly governed by Wits (2/3), and partially by Strength (1/3). <</dialog>><</link>> and <<link "Diplomacy">> <<dialog>> Diplomacy is all about communication. It's how you talk to people, usually with the goal of learning withheld information - be it through intimidation, bargaining, convincing, or perhaps just friendly conversation. It can cover non-verbal communication of ideas and concepts, too. It is chiefly governed by Wits (2/3), and partially by Agility (1/3). <</dialog>><</link>>.

<> <<set $MS_Intro to 2>> "I'm picking up some odd magnetic interference..." Mio mutters, reading up overhead to check on a slimline panel of readouts. Sure enough, they're ticking back and forth with growing speed. "Oh! Please remain calm, Mio. We're just banking through the gravitational pull of the Violet Twins, this system's binary stars. Would you like to listen to their song?" B4B3 inquires. Mio purses her lips, planting a hand on the metal hull around her. It'll shield her from the worst of it, but things are probably about to feel a little... unpleasant, in ways unique to someone of her construction. "... Yeah, sure. Why not." Mio sighs, sitting back again with a half-lidded stare ahead. She feels the pod shift ever so slightly and watches motes of dust and tiny chips of aged paint change directions as they float before her through the harsh light above her head. As the meters above her cry their warnings, Mio's eyes begin to shiver and flicker, followed by the light above her doing the same. She grips the armrests of her seat tightly and grits her teeth, all as the cosmic radiation around her is translated into sound by B4B3 on the fly. Discordant, but strangely haunting. With a mere minute, it's passed, and Mio relaxes her grip with a soft sigh. "Hmm... Magnetic shielding isn't as strong as it should be. I'll flag that for the report now. We've still a-ways to go, Mio - what else would you like to do?" <<if $MS_Intro_Briefing is 0>> <<link "Alright, might as well check the briefing."

<> <<set $MS_Intro to 3>> "Is it just me, or is the pod shaking?" Mio remarks with a frown, glancing to her left and right, then placing a hand against the hull to her right. It's a fairly pointless exercise because the moment she does so the entire pod lurches violently, opening a few of the locker doors around her! "Arh!-- B4B3!?" Mio cries at a volume just shy of a yell, her voice bouncing around her and fighting to be heard over the rattling of metal from all around, the hull creaking and groaning from stress and heat. Before B4B3 can respond, Mio puts the pieces together - they're repositioning for the final approach to her objective. "Just a bit of turbulence, Mio. But we're picking up an automated signal... patching it through now." B4B3 replies, then goes silent again. Presumably, she's working with 32 to run final checks on the Pod's approach path. Grumbling as the shaking subsides, Mio frowns as she listens to the insipid, chirpy yet corporate voice chiming in through tinny speakers. "--eat until such time as it is no longer required.

<> The pod begins to tremble again, but Mio doesn't voice any concerns this time. She can feel gravity increasing little by little, pulling at her feet as the pod begins its final descent into the TentaCo facility below. The temperature of the pod's interior begins to warm up, but that's nothing compared to what's going on outside as the pod's breaching drill begins to grind and spin, ready to lance through the hull of an atmospherically-sealed installation. It's a messy process. A violent and physical one, too. Mio plants her hands on either side of what could very well be her coffin - failures are rare, but not unheard of - and braces herself. There's only so much she can do, of course. And certain parts of her aren't quite as... stable, as they once were - a sensation she finds alien and unwelcome. "... Wow, those things are jiggling up a storm, Mio." "Yes, thank you B4B3, I noticed." "... I'm just sayin' is all, it's kinda hypnotic--" "B4B3? Are you driving the pod, or are you staring at the diagnostics readout of my fucking tits?" "Hey! I can do bo-- BRACE! BRACE! THREE, TWO, ON--" Mio grinds her teeth harshly and ducks down in her seat, arms shaking with exertion as the pod violently bucks in all directions at once, following a strange clockwise juddering as the drill slams into the facility roof and just keeps on sinking down, slowing rapidly to a halt. As the metal creaks and pings around her from its sudden and shocking buildup of heat, Mio slowly removes her hands from the hull and exhales, placing her hands in her lap. "I hate that part so much... B4B3, open the door, please. Let's see this armoury and get this over with." Mio requests. A mental 'aff' nod from B4B3 follows, and the pod's door begins to open from the top down, creating a ramp for her to descend from her slightly elevated position. Stark, white lighting, tiled flooring... shelves... cleaning supplies? A bucket and mop-- Mio blinks. She plants a hand on the edge of the open door right as it -clanks- into place beneath her, blinking in bewilderment. She looks up at the hole in the ceiling - multiple layers of failsafe hull layers now plugged up with sealing foam jettisoned by the pod during the breach, maintaining atmospheric integrity. Then her eyes slowly trail down to the sign above the sole exit to the north... STORAGE MODULE. <<linkreplace "B4B3, this isn't the Armoury, is it?">> "B4B3, this isn't the Armoury, is it?" Mio asks, planting her free hand on her face and resting it there for a moment. B4B3 is silent for an awfully long time. "... No... I swear, I followed the schematics to the letter! Hang on, let me scan and-- oooOOOOOOOORGH. The floor plan the support crew uploaded is a total mismatch! We're lucky we landed inside the facility at all!" B4B3 replies with a frustrated wail, causing Mio to jerk her head slightly and mentally reduce her volume some more. She sighs... and then, without a further complaint, she turns around and checks her gear. 'Zipper'-type Arm Cannon? She slots the thick end over her arm and takes a tight hold of the internal grip, watching the barrels telescope slightly as the weapon activates in her grasp. Check. Freqblade, tuned just the way she likes it? Stowed on her hip. Check. Breaching Jacket... intact. No flaming hull breaches this time, for a change. Not really needed now, but all the same - Check. Impact Vest, check. Shorts, check. Head, check. Patience, joy, sense of belonging... all absent. Ah well, can't win 'em all. "Directions, B4B3?" Mio asks, trying to keep her tone somewhat upbeat for the benefit of her 'younger' companion. B4B3 sighs a little, but tries to revert to her usual infectious optimism. "Right, right! Ok -- Engineering should be, according to the correct map... north out this door, north again, big door on the right - to the east - down a corridor. Then follow the signs. But we oughta stop off at the Armoury first, which we have the codes for! That's north out this door again, but left into Security. We're not far, thankfully." "Well alright then. M10, commencing mission." <<link "Time to get to work."

For a temporary hotel-stay residence, Isolde has a lot of clothes. Only a few of them seem to be for actual use out and about, too... the majority of them are pretty clearly meant for, ah, titilation. Wow, that's a lot of shiny leather. Ahem. Mio stops staring at someone else's wardrobe like a pervert and instead casts her eyes downwards to the bottom shelf where, sure enough, a slim brown package is sat. She picks it up - it's light - and notes that whatever is contained within, it jingles softly as the contents shift. Hmm... Obtained Isolde's Package. <<link "Continue."

[Focus success!] Mio manages to hold on! With her new handhold, Mio is just about able to drag herself up further! She twists slightly as she pushes more power into that arm from the other, letting it take the majority of the strain. Just as she begins to get warnings flashed into her mind as a result, she quickly swaps to the other hand and repeats the process, allowing her spent arm to rest for a moment as she crawls on her trim stomach, her hips cresting the edge of the chasm. The slime below rebels, of course. Its grip on her leg tightens, but its ability to pull diminishes the more Mio stretches it, beginning to thin in places, to lose definition and thus strength. Mio rolls onto her back, reasoning that a twist of the taffy-like substance might further compromise its form and function: a gamble that pays off. With her hand wedged into the hole she made earlier, she now distributes power into her free leg, planting her boot on the edge of the gulf and heaving with a grimace. The sensation of that slime-hewn arm losing its comprehension around her leg is simply bizarre, even if only through the 'dumber' sensors of her hard-case limb. When it finally proves too much for the pool of slop, the arm simply ceases to 'be': it becomes unanimated, limp and lifeless, drawn too far away from the seething cauldron of misplaced cores. Mio grunts as she shakes her leg, a heavy blob now hanging from her ankle like drips off a showerhead - it takes a few good kicks for it to dislodge entirely, slapping back down onto the taut surface of slime below, swiftly reabsorbed. With a grumble, Mio stands up and tries to clean herself off as best she can, relieved to see no damage on her leg. <><<if $MS_Annex_Acrobatics is 0 or ndef $MS_Annex_Acrobatics>> <<set $MS_Annex_Acrobatics to 1>> <<set $Player_skill_acrobatics_progress to $Player_skill_acrobatics_progress + 50>> Mio believes this experience has helped her get a little better at Acrobatics.

Mio takes a tentative, careful step towards the edge of the chasm, placing her foot upon a stable-looking tile with a grimace. The purple hive-slime bubbles away down there, its surface about 6 feet below the chasm's lip. In other words, falling down there would be a disaster. Mio attempts a scan, her eyes flashing, but it's impossible to say just how deep the slime goes past a couple of feet, her sensors incapable of penetrating any further through its mire. She steps back from the edge and sets her gaze ahead to the other side, taking a few more steps away before she's satisfied with her run-up. Sink low, bend knee, and... take off! Mio breaks into a sprint, aiming to hit a sturdy-looking tile at the lip of the gouge to leap from. This should be-- She's so focused on that tile, she doesn't notice the damaged one a step before it. It dislodges under Mio's synthetic weight upon it, throwing her wildly off balance! Mio gasps, her momentum too great to halt now - she has no choice but to leap, sailing over the chasm... but not nearly as far as she needed to. With a grunt and a -CLANK-, she lands torso-first against the rim. It's fortunate that the slime has melted the twisted support struts into useless, blunted metal - it softens her impact somewhat - but that makes what they might do to her all the more worrying! Mio banishes the thought and pulls up with her arms, feet scrabbling for purchase... until that ability is taken from her by a solid yet slimy grip about her right calf! "Huh?!-" she splutters, fingers scrabbling at the tiles before her as that grip becomes a harsh tug, costing her around an inch of her hold. Mio's eyes widen as she glances down - only to wish that she hadn't. That living, roiling pool of slime formed a mere tendril to grab at her leg, but now that it has a hold? It's thickening at the bast, swelling and growing in size and thus in strength, sculpting itself into the proper form of a gigantic arm. It's almost akin to an artist observing a model and learning from it - albeit at frightening speed. It imitates what it can of her... but only so that it can claim more. As the pressure grows, Mio grunts and shunts power into her arms, strengthening herself to regain some lost ground with a heave of her arms. The gigantic slime-hewn arm flexes in turn, straining against her body in an effort to pull her back down, pressure warnings beginning to flicker in amber across the Android's vision. She can now feel each sculpted finger of what was once a formless lump of gel upon her calf... each squeezing with growing force. It's clear that if she doesn't pull herself up and beyond its reach now, it will only get stronger and outpace her; and that's assuming it doesn't add more grappling arms and tentacles to the mix! That's not all, unfortunately. It doesn't take a genius - nor a computer - to figure out that the stuff is terribly toxic as an aphrodisiac, and whilst it can't affect Mio's hard-case leg, it can compromise her soft-case systems. When she feels a thin but determined layer beginning to creep out from the fist around her leg, the Synthetic grits her teeth and heaves harder, careful not to overstrain her biomechanical musculature - that will spell her doom just as readily as total inaction will! It's a tug of war, and she's the rope from the waist down. Not only does that spreading layer give the mass of slime further grip and pull upon her body, but, as it reaches the connection port of her leg!... Mio shudders. The effect is fairly instant the moment it slips past her $Player_outfit_bottom to slather against her pale synthskin - though it's a mere raindrop compared to the flood down below. As her fingers slip upon the tiles, Mio decides upon a potentially bold move: she straightens her fingers together flat, creating a chopping 'blade' with her hand. As the slime gives a particularly harsh yank on her leg - enough to make those pressure warnings briefly flash red! - she lances her hand into the tiles before her, creating a proper handhold for her to grip onto and heave, heave, heave!!

Her advance out of the pit is halted, a slow but steady imbalance becoming a stalemate, and then a stalemate becoming a mounting victory for the slime. Mio's arms tense and shudder as she holds on as tight as she can, but when the end comes, it comes swiftly. The layer of poisonous slime reaches enough of her torso to really sink in, but when it slithers across her thighs and against her groin, the sudden shock of pleasurable toxins applied to such a sensitive area makes her body spasm. Makes her arms jolt. Makes her fingers twitch, and her grip open. Mio disappears down into the pit in a single second flat, but despite her weight and velocity, she isn't fully submerged. She slams down into the surface of the bubbling gloop, which grows thicker and more gel-like the further down it goes. As a result, rather than sinking like a stone, Mio is merely stuck up to her hips for a moment before she practically bounces back out! Unfortunately, any dreams of springing back up to the chasm's lip are foolish. Mio gets about two feet during her brief airtime, then smacks back down upon the roiling tide, which reacts to her presence immediately. Even as the higher concentrations of poison seep against her back - and wherever it's landed upon her front in pearled splashes from her earlier impact - Mio gasps as the slime grapples her body at every angle possible. Hands of various designs grasp around her limbs and tentacles of different shapes dance around her body, neck and head. "Get-- ouuhff!!" she slurs when a rudimentary pair of fingers hewn from gel slip up across her cheek, over her lips, and hook past them. Any further protests are reduced to increasingly high-pitched whines as the Android's systems are overwhelmed, the slime around her growing thick, glistening bubbles that pop with bursts of purple smog as it explores her body and learns from it. Through her mounting haze of poison-induced lust, Mio does note - with some degree of thanks - that her hard-case limbs aren't being melted down into useless slag. A hazy glance down around her reveals a number of dark spheres bobbing in the deeper recesses of the pit... cores. Dozens of them. With this many combined, the surging mass of Glob probably has enough computing power to recognize what makes her - well, her. That the metal attached to her is her, and shouldn't be harmed. Not when it could be learned from, too. Mio gags around the sickly-sweet taste on her tongue from the fingers pinching it, then arches her back with a loud, bewildered cry when a hand - this time far better defined - punches out from the surface of the slime to curl down around her chest, squashing one breast beneath its arm and tightly gripping the other, squashing it, warming it, soaking it in aphrodisiac as it begins to gyrate in a steady massage. While the Glob-flood is sparing her limbs, it's smart enough to differentiate them from her clothing, her $Player_outfit_top beginning to smoke with wisps of pink as it dissolves away beneath the groping grasp. It's but the first taste of what the surge has to offer her, as more rough-hewn shapes begin to take form in all directions, surrounding her with uncontained eagerness. After all, it's tough being an entity created to fuck when you're stuck in a pit with nothing to fuck. Speaking of... -SPLAP-. "HYIINH~--" The heavy, heady noise of a massive blob of Glob rising up between Mio's half-spread legs and slapping down between them, coating her up to her belly above and thighs below, prodding incessantly at her nethers with fervent desire and intent. As her $Player_outfit_bottom all but disintegrates in moments, Mio tosses her head back to what little degree she's allowed to when a surge of slime rockets inside of her, thin at first. Exploratory, perhaps... before it thickens, tries new shapes, new sizes, interrogates her limits and her preferences, each thrust a new experience layered atop her baseline of 'losing her fucking mind to aphrodisiac'. Within the same span of time, the slime bubbles to the left of her head and rises, taking on a vaguely humanoid form before it slims down into a more refined look. Masculine? Perhaps - the chest is flat - but the body is lithe, skinny, and feminine... save for the pillar between its legs. With a terribly convincing organic -twitch-, that heavy gel-hewn slab springs into the air and slaps down upon Mio's lips, making the poor Droid crosseyed for a moment before she refocuses on the slime construction's head. A rough imitation of hair, not unlike her own... and a fringe that shadows the face, frees the amalgamated Glob of having to properly render it. Not at this stage, not this early in development. Why refine it this early, when it needs to thoroughly test 'does this entity get off to having its face fucked by androgynous partners'? A test it eagerly proceeds with by shuffling its hips back, dragging the thick, stiff but springy length across Mio's lips... and then plunging inside of them, aided by the fingers still hooking her cheek before they finally let go to make room, sliding instead across her throat to test if she enjoys a little pressure there - feeling the bulge that swells from beneath as the Android takes that dick to the hilt in a single thrust, her eyes wide and unfocused and delirious. But undeniably blissful. As the shapeless mass of slime humps away at her groin with growing force, enough to rock her back and forth upon her waterbed of goo, the figure at her face is joined by another - first a direct mirror, then a far more feminine redesign. A swelling of the chest into an impressive rack, a widening of the hips, overall taking on a 'MILF'ish figure that performs well in its task of soothing Mio, helping her ride over the absurd peaks the Glob amalgamate forces upon her - lying along her side, spooning against her, babbling incoherent but soothing 'coos' into her aural sensors as the until-now phantom hand around her throat joins to this new figure, massaging her neck as she deepthroats that dick like a champion. Another arm hooks under her leg, and a growing pressure mounts at her backdoor... her eyes crossing inwards sharply as her final bastion is invaded, spread wide. She's given scant seconds to adjust before the pounding begins, increasingly solid gel smacking against her body in every direction as yet more testing shapes take form around her. A single Glob is meant to learn what makes its partner tick in the limited time it has to 'live'. To learn how best to make them feel good, to make them feel better than they could ever imagine: and ultimately, to make them buy another TentaCan once their legs stop shaking. With this many cores, this much shared intelligence, no cap upon its lifespan save for that imposed by the incoming Cleaners... and with such a sturdy partner? This amalgamate has much to learn, and so much more to offer. To see if she enjoys swallowing, or spitting - a test underway as the androgynous facefucker quivers out a warbled, alien cry and begins to unload its heavy balls down her throat, pulsing against her chin as her neck is soothed by the dominating figure behind her. Does she enjoy the feeling of heavy, warming tits squashed against her back, practically engulfing her? Or would she prefer a sturdy, masculine chest, flat like a wall boxing her in? The slime frantically fucking her pussy has yet to decide on a form, but the night is young - and she's reciprocating it regardless of its indecision, a muffled cry roaring from the Android as she cums, and cums hard. So many variables remain undecided, but one thing is certain. It will never let her go until she stops loving it. A feedback loop of hedonistic pleasure, etched on her face, imprinted in every gurgled cry of bliss, her troubles melting away just like a customer of TentaCo's should. <<= $Player_alias>>'s journey has come to an end. ♥Reload a save, or restart.<<if $Perk_B4B3 > 0>><> <<linkreplace "But what about B4B3?">><<include "B4B3 Bad End">><</linkreplace>><><</if>>

} Backtracking... incident record at 00:00:00, estimated time of incident: (Error). From the single camera up in the corner of the room, a scene of chaos unfolds through the ferns. The facility Hydroponics lab is a small, improvised space, considered cramped at the best of times. These are far from the best of times. -SLAM!- -WHAM!- -BRAM!- "Holy crap holy crap, he REALLY wants to get in!!" squeaks Mitzy, her voice a far higher pitch than usual as her legs scrabble for purchase on the tiles below, her back and spread arms pressed firmly against the door to the Lab: unlike most of the doors in the facility, this one opens inwards in a traditional manner, rather than sinking into the floor. Mitzy ducks as the misshapen mass of flesh that can barely be called an 'arm' swipes for her, overestimating her height: it slaps against the door a good foot above her round, radar-dish ears. Still, the sound of it so heavy, so close!... it makes her thin tail whip up by her side in panic. It's a helpless feeling that's banished entirely when Cassia rises up above her, the far larger Flori drowning the Mouse in her imposing shadow. To anyone else, the sight of Cassia rising up like a serpent, clad as she is from the legs down in her mighty floral base, blocking out the mighty, buzzing lamps above and casting her own face into harsh shadow save for the fearsome glare of her yellow eyes... ... Well, it would probably stop their heart. It just makes Mitzy's beat faster, but this isn't the time for that. Not with something loose, something trying to beat its way inside their little sanctuary. As Cassia recovers from the aimless slap that hand dealt her mere moments ago and adds her considerable weight to the door's defence, Mitzy shuts her eyes tight and grunts through clenched teeth, determined to share the burden. She imagines the plants that line the walls cheering them on, and with a mighty heave!... "HAH! Begone with you, brute!" Cassia barks as Mitzy flails, her feet skidding as the door suddenly lurches shut behind her. A pained grunt from the brutish tentacle Monster on the other side of the door confirms the Mouse's envisioned breakdown of events: it had pulled its arm back, gotten its fat, sausage-like fingers caught, and yanked them back, allowing the door to shut. Cassia, however, was not confident in this security: the grimace on her face easily says that much. It worries Mitzy, and it's not hard to figure out why. For as long as the plucky Technician has known the floral beauty, she's never once looked angry. Concerned at times, yes. Even sad, once or twice, when new strains of flora fail to take root. But the furrow in her brow looks... well-trodden, even though Mitzy's never seen it before. Shaking her head, she vows to worry about it later. -BAM!- -RAM!- -SLAM!- "Miss Cassy! Tell me what ya need me to do!" she yells out, attempting a reassuring smile as Cassia glances down at her. It's not very convincing, but it's the thought that counts. The Flori, towering by comparison, looks away for a moment in thought. A plan is calculated, risks weighed... benefits determined. Wordlessly, a vine rises from her flowerbed, where her legs merge together at the calves into the stamen of her wonderous petals. Mitzy grimaces slightly: far from the usual beauty of her colleague's vines, this one is... distended, thick at the end, sluggish. A bead of amber-toned gel gathers and wobbles at the tip, and suddenly Mitzy understands! Sap! Produced in great quantity, but weighing that usually prehensile vine down, interfering with its motor functions. Like a fireman grappling a hose, Mitzy springs off from the door, ducks under the wavering vine, and slugs it upon her shoulder. She marches to the door with a grunt - this thing is heavy! - and guides the tip to the doorframe, understanding Cassia's intent in a heartbeat. Seal the door, glue it shut... and let that big bully hammer away uselessly until he gets bored. Whatever's going on out there, it won't affect their Lab! Mitzy's brow furrows in imitation of Cassia's own, her massive ears twitching at the audible 'gloop' of that sap flowing in bulging surges. She needs to stand on her tiptoes to get it up halfway along the door, but by that point, it's already drying at the bottom - it gives Cassia the confidence to take over with one hand, lessening the pressure she's placing on their barricade, aware of Mitzy resuming her place with her back pressed firmly - but lightly, in all honesty - against it. "... Done. Done... Hah... honestly, Technician Mitzy. 'Miss Cassy'? What's the point in referring to me by a title, only to give me some sort of pet name right afterwards?..." the Flori huffs, her spent vine gingerly retreating back down into her flowerbed as she leans back with a soft whisper of a sigh, her labcoat hanging raggedly off of her, stained with purple muck. Mitzy, by comparison, is far better off: the only stains on her overalls are mechanical in nature, picked up long, long ago. She pants, catching her breath as the hammering punches of the frustrated monster behind the door begin to slow, and then stop entirely. Surrounded by verdant green, Cassia's mighty flower blooms in fearsome punch-pink. Her legs are a somewhat subdued yellow that, from the knees upwards, gradient into a similar but darker shade of that reddish pink, maintaining its tone from her hips up to her head, whereupon her flower-dotted hair runs a dark, cherry red. The landlocked Flori leans back in her flower, purplish lips pursed to one side, piercing yellow eyes narrowed in thought. 'Blessed with the fertility of the forest' would be one way of describing the Flori, clad in nothing but that buttoned lab coat. 'Thicker than a pear' is how Mitzy inwardly thought of her, the tails of that coat hugging snugly against the plant woman's hips and straining a beleaguered button at her bountiful chest. Skirting regulations? Certainly: but it's damnably hot in the Hydroponics lab, and it's not as if the higher-ups really give much of a shit what goes on in here. Mitzy makes a cautious glance at the door behind her, then finally peels herself off it - stepping neatly around a puddle of thankfully inanimate purple slime on the ground before her. Her tail, bald and tapered to a point, wraps neatly around her hips as she wipes sweat from her brow, which had accumulated greatly even before the Monster's attempted aggressive entry! Mitzy always gets hot in here, and yet, the moment Cassia needs a hand... even for the flimsiest of excuses, Mitzy comes running. The Mouse smiles at that thought. It's a simple smile, a dreamy look for a girl who would be the first to describe herself as such: simple. Freckles dotted upon rounded cheeks, bright blue eyes half-hidden behind sandy blonde hair cut in a 'whatever' sort of way. Short as hell, with a build that screams 'tomboy': a somewhat understated chest, with decent hips honed by physical activity and a butt she proudly thinks of as 'cute', just below the base of her animated tail. All in a pleasant tan, darker on her face and limbs, selectively lighter around her hips and chest - tanlines. She slips one of the straps of her overalls off of one shoulder and steps closer to her superior, that smile turning into a concerned frown as she looks her over beneath the glare of the life-bringing light above. ... There, on her cheek. A purple mark, a similar tone to her lips, but... wrong. A bruise? No... Vari, Invari and Flori alike: none of them bruise easily. Mitzy glances back to the slime by the door, then to Cassia once again, noting the rather heavy rise and fall of that coat-straining bust, and the slight huff in each breath: imperceptible, perhaps, to anyone who doesn't have ears the size of dinner plates. "I'm fine." Cassia suddenly announces, snapping Mitzy out of her staring! The Mouse's gaze snaps up to meet Cassia's own, heavy with worry. Mitzy frowns, shifts her weight onto one hip, and crosses her arms with a raised brow. "Ahuh?... I didn't say you weren't, ma'am." Mitzy clucks her tongue, and to her surprise, Cassia actually winces: it isn't like her to get caught out! Emboldened, Mitzy forges ahead, planting her hands on the edge of the meaty petals of Cassia's flower: she knows how sturdy they are, despite their delicate-looking beauty. They support the smaller woman's weight with ease. "Buuuut now that ya mention it, you, uh, got somethin' on your face. Or... in your face. Be honest, Cassy-- uh, Cassia!... did any of that slime hit you? You know that stuff's loaded with--" "Aphrodisiac." Cassia grumbles, cutting her colleague off with a rather dismissive huff. "Really now, Mitzy! As if a little dab of that stuff could affect me..." she huff, her lilting accent a little thicker than usual: a decent sign that she's putting too much thought into her excuses. "I'm Flori. Our bodies work differently. Poisons don't-" "Uuuunless they're magic. Which, uh, I think that big fucker is." Mitzy jerks a thumb over her shoulder towards the door. Cassia blinks, wide-eyed, then clears her throat - a hand curled politely in front of her lips. "... Unless they're magic, yes, I concede. But I-- I can control myself quite fine, thank you for your concern!" the Flori huffs, twisting in her flowerbed and turning away from a bewildered Mitzy. The Mouse stammers silently for a moment, trying to figure out where she went wrong... and then she grumbles in frustration, slinging her hands into the pockets of her overalls with a grumpy glare at Cassia's stupid fat wonderful ass-- ugh! Stop it, brain! Mitzy turns on her heels with a little huff of her own, which lasts for all of two seconds before she whips right back around, her tail unfurling from her waist and spiralling around her with the spin. "Ok, nah! You've been super frosty lately, even without a major outbreak incident to worry about! Well like it or not, you're stuck with me in this room until help arrives - o-or until something bigger or smarter breaks the door down, I guess - so, uh... shit, where was I going with-- ah! S-so you might as well spit it out! Did I say something wrong? Did I do something dumb? Did I mess up with the pruning or the temperature adjustments for row C?!" Mitzy demands to know, feeling herself deflate as she finally releases this barrage of concern that's been building in her for days now. To make matters worse, Cassia turns further away yet still, arms hugging herself tightly as her flowerbed begins to curl and close! Mitzy yelps, feet scrabbling for purchase against thin air before she manages to shove her weight down, stopping Cassia from retreating into herself. "No fair!! I deserve to know, Mis-- ugh, CASSY! Yeah, I'm gunna keep saying it! And for the record, I'm worried about you being hurt, not 'not being able to control yourself'! Jus-- wah!!-" Mitzy is shaken like a ragdoll as Cassia trembles her petals in an effort to dislodge the pesky Mouse, but the Vari girl holds on for dear life, huffing and grunting and clinging until-- "I don't want to HURT YOU, you IDIOT!" Cassia suddenly turns and snarls, Mitzy's startled gaze filled with Cassia's glaring face - not to mention the strange, slightly jagged teeth behind her beautiful visage, perhaps a holdover from carnivorous ancestors in her lineage. Mitzy leans back with a gulp!... but refuses to let go of the petals, even suspended off of the ground as she is. Cassia blinks, then seems to shrink at this defiance. Confusion grows across her face, and a strange light burns in her golden eyes. Mitzy tilts her head, staring back into them. Fear? Anger? Lust? No, something deeper than lust... Mitzy's sapphire eyes sparkle. Fuck it: she suddenly lunges forwards into a spring, releasing Cassia's petals and planting her hands on the far taller woman's shoulders instead - practically a hug for the Mouse, arms outstretched! - so that she can plant her lips upon Cassia's own. Cassia splutters in shock, but lasts all of a split second before her arms shoot up to catch Mitzy before she can fall into her flowerbed... holding her close as the Mouse's probing tongue is swiftly overwhelmed by the Flori's far larger one. It coils tightly around it like a predatory snake, but the squeal Mitzy makes into Cassia's mouth is anything but frightened... and that spurs Cassia on further still, her hands roaming around and into Mitzy's overalls, her head twisting, their lips forming a perfect seal as two years of friendly workplace relations finally bubble over. And all it took was a little localized apocalypse. But even with such fierce-burning fuel behind it, the kiss must end eventually. When it does, however, Mitzy finds herself held tight still; only barely able to pull away by arching her back deliriously. With her cheeks burning crimson and her body held tight by the vice grip of Cassia's arms, Mitzy gives an almost drunken giggle... but it trails off when she beholds her friend's face from up close: eyes shadowed behind her fringe, her breath hot and sweet in long, lurid panting heaves. "Mitzy..." she all but whispers, her grip tightening further still, earning a gasp from the Mouse. "I told you... I don't want to hurt you... but..." she hisses, that predatory gleam shining through strangely dulled eyes. It's terrifying and enticing all at once, Mitzy left staring in wide-eyed awe. "With you in my arms, and... this shit fogging my head, I... I'm not going to be able to control myself-- hhhh... f-for much longer..." Cassia shudders, squeezing Mitzy so tight that the Mouse feels something -pop-. The Flori squirms slightly, the need so blatant in her every motion. The strength, the danger she poses. And yet... "Well... maybe I don't want you to worry about controlling yourself." Mitzy bites her lower lip as she admits that. From behind her fridge, Cassia's eyes gleam, her mind made up in an instant... and then her petals shudder as they shut halfway, trapping Mitzy inside her flower with her - and with her vines, rising up around the trapped and shivering Mouse like a dozen snakes. Make that... dozens. Mitzy's seen them before, of course. Used a hundred times a day for all sorts of different functions, the mobility-challenged Flori can reach entire rooms away to retrieve what she needs - sometimes with a post-it note affixed to one to instruct and a flat, leaf-like tip to carry items in the other. Used to water the plants, handle tools, to do anything just as dextrously as the hands dug so firmly into her back. But now? They crowd around her with but one purpose in mind... A Mouse, caught in a Pitcher. But those vines don't get to land the first blow. Instead, Cassia's possessive double-armed grip finally ceases... but only so that her clawed hands can -smack- down upon Mitzy's rear through her overalls, squeezing tight and earning a shocked yet delighted squeal from the girl. A second sound, this time more shocked and overwhelmed sounds out from her when Cassia drags her claws through the rough-hewn fabric and pulls, easily tearing clean through it to expose the Mouse's tan-lined pert rear! But only through those overalls. It spares the girl's sleek black underwear... allowing Cassia to hook a finger through it and tug, ever so slightly, as she peers past Mitzy's mess of hair and gazes at it. Mitzy's eyes widen as she recovers from that thrilling rush of violence against her clothes and begins to stammer, having forgotten what she was wearing today-- "A thong? Is that a thong?" Cassia growls out a delirious chuckle, pulling it tighter until the thinning fabric disappears between the girl's freckled rear cheeks. Mitzy squeaks and nods, blinking rapidly as she squirms in her friend and superior's grip. "Mitzy... you wear a thong under your overalls, to work? Nnngh... what, were you fantasizing about seducing me in here or something?" Cassia demands with a knowing smirk - and then twists her hand, bunching the undergarment tightly, yanking it up and causing Mitzy to squeal out with wide eyes and an honest heart. "I-I-I-- yeah, YEAH! OK! I ADMIT IT!!" she yells out, only to choke out a gasp when Cassia's lips grace her neck and kiss and suck and nibble as she repeatedly yanks the girl up by her hips from that grip on her thong until it begins to tear. "You fucking idiot, that's so-- Ngh, CUTE!" Cassia snarls out approvingly, her long tongue slathering up the light love bite upon Mitzy's neck before she locks the smaller woman in another domineering kiss... yanking that thong entirely clean off and tossing it aside, the vines finally closing in to wrap and coil and restrain the Mouse. Some thick, some thin, some flowering and sweet smelling, most bald and ridged, all diving under her work clothes and ripping them to shreds without leaving even the slightest graze upon her well-exercised body. As Cassia occupies her attention and silences her mouth, Mitzy is entangled, wrapped up, decorated like a shibari pet... ankles to asscheeks, arms behind her back, vines tied and knotted around her body tight enough to indent her skin in places where she has the cushion for it. But the final touch is a whip-thin vine covered in wildflowers that dance around her tail from base to tip, completely dominating it, decorating it... marking her as Cassia's toy. -SMACK-. Far harder than last time, hands clap upon the girl's freckled ass and fingers sink in, pull apart - expose her winking backdoor, her glistening slight, make her eyes shoot wide and glance over her shoulder, shuddering as Cassia's tongue grazes the entrance to her throat and makes her stifle a gag. "Oh, Mitzy... I can't hold back any longer... p-please don't hate me after this..." Cassia whispers as strands of saliva link their lips. Mitzy frowns, then startles the Flori by knocking their heads together, forehead to forehead - it hurt a little, but it was worth it to get her attention. "I've waited for this since the day I MET YOU! C-c'mon already!!" Mitzy huffs. Cassia's eyes almost water... but then she smiles warmly, closes her eyes... and then opens them again with a sly smile. "Be careful what you wish for, little Mouse." she chuckles... and then relishes in the shocked, perverse look on Mitzy's face as she completely fails to notice the thick, tapered vine that was poised at her ass finally making its mark. It's quick, yes, but she knows Mitzy is tough - and the vine is slick with a well-exuded oil. Holding onto her friend tightly, Cassia 'coos' and 'ahs' in tune with Mitzy's choked grunts, lovingly and mockingly in equal measure as that vine just keeps on slipping deeper, deeper... and then finally stops, the girl's ass stretched taut around its thick length and the endless ridges buried deep inside her. Lost for words - and perhaps for space for air in her lungs! - Mitzy just lets out a quiet, bewildered groan, tinged with a gleeful trill. Just when it seems like she might find her voice again, might speak once more... Cassia effortlessly withdraws her vine, gripping that cute ass tightly around the red prints of those earlier spanks. Mitzy's eyes cross inwards adorably as whatever she was about to say is reduced to a warbled grunt, any recovery rendered impossible when that vibe pushes back inside immediately. "Cuh--Cassy!!--" Mitzy eventually manages to babble, only for her eyes to practically sparkle wide when Cassia silences her with a finger upon her lips. "Now, now... what did I tell you about that nickname? And besides. Right now, that should be Mistress Cassy." the Flori interjects with a sly smile, then gasps as Mitzy shivers - nay, convulses! - in her grasp. It's obvious what it was, even without the companionship of the girl's high-pitched whine. "Did you seriously just cum from that? We've only just started, you know... What was it, hmm? The 'Mistress' comment? Or are you that much of a closet buttslut?~" she taunts lovingly, Mitzy squirming and twitching but finally finding the strength to speak. "I-I think-- I-It might b-buh-- be-- a buh-bit oh buh-both!!" she barely manages to admit with an eye-crossing, breath-taking huff when Cassia purposefully cuts her off by sending that thick vine a little further in. "Good, good... I'm going to learn every last one of your weaknesses, Mitzy. All the better to destroy you with, again, and again... and again. " Cassia sighs, directing twinned vines with soft, plush petals to wrap around the Mouse's chest, dancing around and between either breast and lacing together like a harness... a living one, massaging and squeezing constantly. Mitzy squirms more, but at the same time, less - her desire to do so heightened, her ability to do so diminished. She gives Cassia another wide-eyed stare of awe, and it makes the Flori's heart just about melt. "Looking at me like that just makes me want to take things further, you know..." "I-- hhhn, I said I can take it a-and I stand by that!" the Mouse insists, even with her ability to stand robbed of her by the bondage those vines inflict upon her. Cassia's smile widens just enough to reveal her fangs - intentionally letting Mitzy get a good look at them for intimidation - before she slips in for a kiss, dragging Mitzy into it with a hand firmly clasped around her jawline... other digging and kneading into her marked asscheek as a trio of smaller vines slither their way up the Vari's legs towards her till-now neglected but achingly ready pussy. The squeal Mitzy makes against Cassia's lips when they make their presence known by slipping inside of her is like a heavenly choir to the Flori, who giggles demurely into their passionate kiss. It is a demurity in stark contrast to the frenzied manner in which her vines now move - both those fucking the quivering Mouse, and those gripping and coiling around her hard enough to mark and mar her skin. Not severely, of course. But enough to make it clear where she's been... And who, for the moment, she belongs to. The time for playful talk has long since passed. Cassia refuses to let even a single intelligible word pass from Mitzy's lips, through a combination of occupying them and from drowning her in rough, raunchy pleasure. Not even her tail is spared bondage; the flowering vine around it decorates as much as it inhibits, catching each wild twitch and lurch and fighting against it in some bizarre wrestling dominance. That little purple stain upon Cassia's verdant cheek is almost shaped like a heart to the Mouse's lidded eyes, but that might just be Mitzy's well-fucked brain reverting to basic pattern recognition in place of any actual sentient intelligence. Despite what she's saying, Cassia is careful. Her actions are thoughtful - despite how frenzied they may seem from the waist down. Structured to make Mitzy question if she's in any real danger without outright convincing her of it. Each delightful noise she makes is like an antidote to the aphrodisiac besieging the Flori, keeping her level-headed. The Mouse certainly reacted well to a little spank, so... Sure enough, when a vine -CRACKS- down upon her backside - the noise far more intimidating than the actual force of impact from the padded, plump tendril - her squeal is simply to die for... as is the way she tightens around Cassia's invading vines. No, she doesn't feel the more typical sensation of pleasure from them - that would take some very specific cultivating! - but she's getting plenty of enjoyment from Mitzy's enjoyment. More than enough. As the Mouse reaches another thunderous climax, body convulsing so sharply that her floral bondage likely keeps her from accidental injury, Cassia just chuckles in their kiss and releases her friend's backside with one hand, snapping her fingers.

The door grinds open, and Mio steps through into the Engineering Annex. Just a leisurely stroll south to the Observation Deck, a press of a button, and it'll all be over. She makes it a full four steps before the screaming warnings she's been ignoring ever since she shunted her safety limits finally come true. A shower of sparks erupts from Mio's shoulders, knees and finer finger joints, energy violently crackles from her horn, and with an almost pained snarl, the Synthetic falls to an armoured knee, vents opening along her spine and the backs of her shoulders to vent excess heat. Something slithers from the Checkpoint to the west. Several somethings. Too many somethings. "Just... a little more..." Mio grunts, attempting to rise to her feet. She makes it halfway before her joints groan in protest, and she falls again, now onto both knees. But, realizing her arms are willing to cooperate... she reaches down, hooks fingers into the catwalk grid beneath her, and pulls herself forwards, inch by inch, into the stairwell of the Observation Deck, leaving behind a shimmering haze of heat that her pursuers can follow like a map. Dragging herself up the stairs is an undignified ordeal, but as that slithering draws all the closer, Mio considers it to be the preferable option. More emotions burn within her, her system too tired to quell them. Shame, at the possibility of coming this far and failing at the final hurdle... she ascends a step. Spite, the draconic face of Ziajol leering down at this ridiculous body's chest - his 'cost saving' measure. Another step. <<if $MERCASAVED < 6>>Guilt. Dizz's friendly smile and manner, her request barely fulfilled. Another faltering step, forehead resting on the next one for a moment.<<else>>Pride. Ziajol's face gives way to the relieved looks of the people she's helped today, beyond her mission: her choice to do so. Another step, and another.<</if>> Mio's trembling hand grips the landing of the Deck, and she grunts as she pulls herself and her uselessly trailing legs up onto the floor fully, wasting no time in grappling for a handhold upon the control panels that now surround her. Smooth. Smooth, smooth, smooth-- ah! A maintenance hatch. Just barely indented enough for Mio to work her fingers into an edge, hauling herself up to an uneasy 'stand', supported by her straining arms on the console rather than her venting legs. Her reflection stares back at her, superimposed in the window against the dead surface of Vi-16... and against the writhing mass of tentacles now surging through the doorway below, much to her wide-eyed shock. Mio grits her teeth and looks down, eyes flitting, iris tightening and widening with erratic zooms, searching for the damn launch key!-- Ah! She goes to slam her fist down upon the button!... And misses, her legs swept out from under her as the tentacles coil around her armour plating and yank. Mio swears loudly as she grabs onto the console, holding on as best she can but horribly aware of the mounting strength of the tentacular mass as more and more tendrils latch onto her, crawling further up her body! "Come on!... just a... little more!..." Mio growls in frustration, damaged fingers on one hand beginning to quiver and creak. She's within arm's reach, for fuck's sake! She didn't come this far to fail now! Could it be that this is revenge for going out of her way to pull people from the Hive's grasp? Damn it, damn it!... Just when it seems all but inevitable that she'll be dragged howling back down the stairs, Mio allows despair to etch itself upon her face-- "That's enough!" demands a familiar voice. Mio's eyes widen as the tentacles suddenly stop pulling, lowering her into an awkward lean against the console as she turns to look over her shoulder. There, she beholds Mimi hovering just above the stairwell, arms outstretched, a loof of intense concentration burrowed onto her forehead past her fringe, eyes scrunched half-shut. "Hit... the button already! They're super riled up!!" Mimi hisses, and Mio shakes herself from her stupor with a nod, turning and smacking her palm down upon the button. With a subtle shudder through the walls and floor, the Sled accelerates in the blink of an eye and erupts from the launch bay, a silver sliver streaking through the black abyss above. It punches clean through the atmospheric shielding, which repairs itself in a fraction of a second. A fraction of a second is all it takes for Mimi to sigh in relief and release her hypnotic hold on the Hive, which darts in to grab them both! But Mio's earlier look of horror is now smoothed over with a dreamy, relieved smile. Even as her arms are coiled tightly behind her back, even as her legs are forcibly cooled by tentacle slime drenching them - even sizzling in the joints - and even as her neck is possessively wrapped by a ribbon-flat tentacle, as though to collar her, claim her... An empty victory for the tentacles. Not like Mio's. The Sled is away, and her mission is complete. The only reason to hold back her emotions now is the presence of Mimi, who gasps and squirms as she's equally bundled up tight. No need but her presence for Mio to keep her processing power diluted, compromised... Hmm. But why? Embarrassment? Perhaps. Even so, her mind works far faster than a mere organic lifeform's ever could, and she cycles through several emotions. Disgust at the sensation of the tendrils grabbing her? Mm... no. Too forced. Truth be told, she doesn't really mind the slippery slime, warm as it is, especially given how easily it can be cleaned from her body - be it flawless synthskin or hard-case alloys. Besides, the tentacles cannot help what they are any more than she can. Hollow sadness, at what she is, at what she'll continue to be? A fighting machine, never allowed to be more than that. Pah. Never? Says who? A dozen more emotions, so barely explored by the blossoming intelligence, come and go before she settles on one she very much enjoys. Mio's usually stony face splits into a wide grin, triumph etched upon every inch of her face even as she and Mimi are sucked into the shambling mass, purple and coral disappearing into purple and purple, venting Glow smothered into darkness by writhing flesh. <<link "Power draw exceeding limits.

Self-repairing functions work diligently in the brief time Mio spends 'unconscious', adrift in a strange state halfway between functioning and not. Her sensors do their work, but her artificial mind struggles to keep up with them - vague sensations of elevation, of wet and lengthy somethings crossing her body, coiling around hard and soft-case alike. Of her burden diminishing... along with her defensive and offensive capabilities. With her self-repair suite giving the green light, Mio's eyes shoot open upon her impassive face, lit only by her own glowing gaze, painting herself and her surroundings in cherry-pink light that bounces off of the coiling 'walls' all around her. Tentacles... thick ones. Plenty of them, too, a mere few feet away from her in all directions. The floor, the ceiling... all covered. Her earlier assessment of the dim light was inaccurate - beyond her eyes, some of it is provided by faintly glowing bulbs among the coated surfaces of the chamber, not an inch left exposed. She could be in the middle of any of the rooms she's visited tonight and be none-the-wiser for it. It is, in and of itself, an odd sensation for the Android, with all of her location-tagging equipment usually handling that sort of thing for her. This absent-minded tangent leads Mio to notice something else - the covered floor and ceiling are the same distance away from her as the walls are, given her suspended state. Arms wrapped thricely behind her back, with coils spiralling down her angular upper arms separately before joining and writhing about one another across her forearms, each terminating at her wrists to bind them tightly to her elbows. Another tentacle from above, thicker than the other two, adds an extra wrapping to complete the set of three. Legs spread, and spread wide. For a moment, Mio marvels at her own flexibility: a full mapping of detailed anatomies of most known sentient species is a standard part of her database, as vital in combat as it is in triage and medivacs. Her legs tuck up admirably along her sides, knees almost knocking against the base of her bared breasts before splaying out to either side, her lower legs and her armoured boots left to dangle with more focus given to wrapping her knees tightly, suspending her off the ground. Noting the origin of these tentacles from above, Mio shifts her weight from side to side and feels herself bob and sway, the tentacle's natural elasticity functioning like a hanging harness. Furthering the comparison would be the tentacles wrapped neatly around her bare soft-case torso, crisscrossing in an unbroken pattern save for the largest of the lot, wrapped once neatly around her ribs to lay its fat, throbbing head between her trapped tits. She notes, to some degree of amusement, that the harness of tentacles have endeavoured to shape their pattern to one complimentary to that of the seams that run down the sides of her torso. Their presence on her synthskin explains that groggily-intercepted sensation from earlier... the removal of her gear in its entirety. She's lucky, she supposes, that it didn't include her limbs - too complicated, no doubt. Or simply viewed as unnecessary, for the true prizes are all on display already: the flower nestled between her spread thighs where soft-case meets hard-case via connection port joints, the tight puckered hole beneath it between her shapely rear cheeks... those lusciously sculpted breasts, no less perfect for their mirrored existence on thousands of torsos that share this model. The last but by no means least of those treasures, no doubt, would be her mouth behind pale-purple lips, judging by the tentacle wrapped snug around her neck, its head resting on her cheek with shocking patience. Yes... there's a thought. Why is she just hanging here? The tentacles of this outbreak haven't exactly shown much in the way of restraint until now - the removal of her gear and complete and utter immobilization of her body in advance notwithstanding. Mio turns her head from side to side, as much as the one coiling her neck allows her to, and sees nothing but her personal cocoon... comprised of far too many mostly phallic-tipped tendrils. For her, yes. But not taking her. Mio frowns for a moment, and then it finally clicks. After everything she's been through tonight, the damned things are waiting for permission. Even wrapped up this securely, do they... fear her? No, that's not right. Mio may not be an expert on body language - especially not when the bodies are nothing but shambling, slithering ropes of meat - but she can be a surprisingly empathetic thing, and sometimes that comes in handy. No, it's not fear. It's respect. Mio smirks as a disbelieving giggle escapes her, much to her own surprise. But why hide such emotion? Her job is finished: the Sled is launched, and her successful exfiltration upon it was merely secondary. Ziajol, the scaled bastard, can come and get her himself... a task he will no doubt consider just as secondary. A task he'll take his time with, giving her all the time in the world. For now? No more mission. No more objectives. And speaking of emotion... just as one cannot fail to observe the tentacles in their swirling great wall around her, Mio cannot ignore the sheer heat of the environment they've created - nor the intense scent of their virility and excitement. Excitement that she shares, genuine and boiling, rising in the Android's chest, her core literally heated as she diverts all power to self-repair and backs up important data securely in her head. "Well?" she speaks, and the way every single tentacle surrounding her -twitches- in upstart eagerness at her finally giving the signal makes her bite her lower lip in anticipation. "Come on. Show me what you can do!" Even with her enthusiastic consent, Mio jolts in shock as the writhing walls around her shrink inwards from the sheer number of tentacles that dart from its perimeter towards her, a ragged gasp escaping from her. They could easily encase her with their numbers and girth, but that surge stops just short, bringing those glowing glands closer to better paint her pale body before whatever unseen sensory organs the monster(s?) possess. Then, from the living floor, a grossly phallic-tipped tentacle rises to poise itself between her spread legs, slipping inwards to rest its partially-blunted head against her nethers. Mio tenses, then realizes she's close to damaging her lip from how hard she's biting it - she endeavours to calm down, knowing that this is merely the quiet before a perverse storm. Of course, it's difficult to remain quiet with the anticipation of that massive thing nudging up and down, a mere twitch of its body enough to send the tip sliding from the bottom of her slit to nudging the base hood of her clit. Ever the analytical one, Mio's eyes flash as she makes a swift measurement of the brutal thing, then runs it against a diagnostic of her body's capabilities. The result? A soft yellow warning, blinking slowly. Above capacity... but not too much. Merely enough to warrant caution... or, to Mio's own surprise, shocking levels of need and excitement. Both are then joined with surprise... though surprise may be too small a word for the unexpected sensation of a monstrous shaft of equal girth and perverse design suddenly nudging up between her cheeks, unseen and unperceived until its head - drooling with freely pumping, lubricating pre - bumps against her unguarded backdoor and slathers it liberally. Calculating the presence of two of them, Mio's warning flashes a shade redder. In response, she tilts her head to the side to dismiss it entirely, once again biting her lip as she hangs in the hive's embrace, left guessing which of the two prideful lengths will be first to take her, the one she can see still lazily slipping up and down her increasingly slime-soaked folds... while the one beneath her prods with increasing urgency, each push a little harder than before until she's left huffing and subtly wincing. It's intentional, she realizes. The monster wants to keep her guessing, not knowing which hole will be invaded first - or, indeed, if both will give way at once. Just as pressure mounts to a breaking point on her well-slickened slit, it suddenly diminishes in favour of a mounting push against her ass, forcing her eyes into a crossing roll just when it feels like it's going to plunge all the way!... and then, they swap once more. Respectful, yes. But not enough to not tease her. Or perhaps they want to hear her speak, once more? After another maddening back-and-forth cycle, Mio squeaks out an unintelligible word, grumbles, and then collects herself before speaking proper. "I said, show me what you can do! Or maybe I'll juUuUHUUHNN--" Oh, the devious thing. It wanted to hear her talk alright, though the content of said speech was irrelevant. As the tentacle poised between her pert asscheeks bundles itself in preparation, then lances up into her body in a single, mighty push... that corrupted groan, words diminished to an animalistic grunt: That's what it longed to hear. It's a long, loud noise, almost shocking Mio from her stupor with her own volume, but the thrumming vibration of that tentacle filling her as it rumbles its way even deeper into her body keeps the Android locked into a bewildered state where every sense dulls to relative blindness in the wake of the sensation of being filled. It's only when the tentacle finally stops its relentless burrowing and sharply pulls back out to the first couple of inches that Mio's cry practically reverses in turn, a barked gasp as her eyes uncross and hazily attempt to focus on the tentacle wall before her. It's a futile effort - no sooner has the blur of purple taken form does the invader slam back inside, bending luridly before it ramps up enough force and pressure to overcome her wonderful tightness, not diminished in the slightest from its earlier scouting efforts. Mio's vision swims once more, and though the guttural noise she makes cannot match the first in vigour, it comes close. Furthermore, it is sustainable - a chorus of those heady, almost violent huffed groans erupts from her as the tentacle falls into a steady, long rhythm, plunging into her again and again, making the taut synthskin cladding her stomach dance from within. It fucks her slowly but with such force meted into each thrust that, when it inevitably ends deep inside of her, her dangling legs swing up to carry that force onwards, her whole body pushed up and swinging back down in the harness-like suspension of her tentacular bonds. Squeezing. Through the haze of her ruthless gutfucking, Mio realizes that those bonds are pulsing around her with each thrust, each muscled rope twisting to massage her body - even where she can't benefit from it. It's the thought that counts, she supposes... even if it isn't selfless - the tentacle perched neatly between her breasts is no doubt enjoying sliding back and forth across her flawless flesh, each shockwave through her body terminating in a wild bounce of her breasts as they sandwich the happy, pre-spewing prick. "Gnngh!-- O-oouh, fuck!!" Mio spits, having nothing constructive to add, but feeling compelled to speak all the same. Besides, her hosts seem to appreciate the 'conversation': no sooner does she utter that curse does the tentacle slamming her ass pick up its formerly slow, piledriving pace... without sacrificing even a mote of its strength, of course. Mio shudders as she feels something bulbous ram against her well-stretched rear with each thrust, incorrectly assuming it to be some sort of stopper the tentacle has equipped to prevent it from pushing in too deeply. Instead, it's more of a checkpoint... for what, Mio swiftly learns. Lancing deep inside of her one more time, the tentacle quivers violently as it roots itself in place rather than slipping back out, that swollen knot suddenly deflating as its payload of freshly-brewed tentaspunk rockets up inside her body. Mio's right eye hitches half-shut in an overwhelmed expression, eyes twisted as she feels the individual swellings course up the tentacle's coil before blasting free of its deeply-set tip, pumping her full with the first spurt alone! All she can do is hang in the brute's embrace as the rest spill free without pause, aided by powerful throbs of the muscular tentacle's body, softening the defined bulge in makes in her stomach with each passing moment - plenty of the off-white cream draining down its exposed length in thick, uneven rivers. They're shaken off, however, when the dormant tentacle pulls back... and rams right back inside, causing a docile and blissed-out Mio to choke back into bewildered life. "F-fuck! Can't you let me adju--gumMPH!?" she splutters, the tentacle that's been so patiently coiled about her neck and nuzzling her cheek finally reaching the limit of its composure. With the Synthetic groaning out those lilting words, it's easy for the phallic head to slip past her plush lips - painting them with lubricating clear slime as it does so - to occupy her mouth, wasting no time in pushing down into her throat as it secretes more of that numbing, tingling slime. Mio chokes around it, even though she requires no oxygen - her neck visibly quivers around the occupying tentacle, not out of a lack of air but for a need of... more? Whatever chemical it's secreting, it acts fast - what should be an uncomfortable lodging instead feels strangely soothing, pleasant even, as it wriggles to free itself for another testing plunge down her gullet. From above, and below. Mio shuts her eyes, words robbed from her as she's bounced between the two frantically fucking tentacles - though even over her lurid, lustful gags being pulled from her throat, she's able to hear the complaining actuators of her knees as her legs swing freely from the way her body is rocked back and forth. She barely cobbles together the command to disable them, letting them sway without mechanical resistance - no sense in wearing out the joint... and the tentacles seem to enjoy their forceful thrusts translating into even more exaggerated waves of her wayward limbs. More of them are on her body, now - she isn't sure when it happened. It's difficult to maintain all of her senses at once - they function just fine, it should be noted. But her capacity to read the flow of data diminishes further with each rampaging drive of the tentacles spit-roasting her. In fact, it takes her a few moments to realize what some of the newcomers are doing... the heated little patches of humidity upon her pale synthskin, or the occasional pinching tug - just enough to be felt, but never enough to sting or harm. Kisses. The monster worships the form of its conquerer even as it violates it, every no-holds-barred lunge of its quivering, python-thick pricks joined by a dozen slender, smaller tendrils delivering little suckling kisses upon her belly, her chest, her cheek... even one upon the back of her armoured hand. The strange, almost gentlemanly behaviour is thrown into sharp contrast against the way a tell-tale bulb suddenly tries to spread her lips uncomfortably wide. Mio winces as she feels it diminish, pulsing via smaller orbs down her neck... she can't see it, but she can feel it, construct a perfect mental simulated image of it - the way that slender synthflesh is pulled taut around each and every surging swell of stubbornly-thick seed before it disappears from sight past her collarbone, perceived only as a subtle addition to the swelling of her belly afterwards. She coughs out in surprise when the tentacle pulls away from her throat, her bewildered blink quickly screwing into tightly-shut eyes as its final shot in the salvo explodes across her face in a diagonal streak. Opening the eye that wasn't glued shut with caution, she hazily blinks as she watches a viscous drop of the stuff gather off the tip of one of her swooping bob-cut blades, hanging precariously from the bouncing of her body until gravity claims it and pulls it from sight. It's all the reprieve she gets before her mouth is once again occupied, cum now drooling past her taut-stuffed lips as well as from her well-fucked rear - it runs down her chin to splatter upon her chest or to join the pool forming in the cleavage formed by the tentacle stubbornly occupying it. During all of this, one aching need has gone unfilled - and oh-so intentionally so. Gazing down blearily through her one open eye, Mio blinks - or rather, winks - as she struggles to comprehend what she's witnessing. When the pieces click together within her fragmented mind, she overcomes the paste-like strength of the wad of spunk painting her other eye shut to open them both wide in shocked awe, fixed directly on the tentacle poised between her legs. It was waiting for her to notice before starting the show. A bulge ripples from its base, hidden within the writhing, coated floor, along through its entire length - morphing it as it travels, smooth flesh replaced with evenly-spaced but unevenly sized bumps and nodes. When the bulge reaches the slightly flared head, a strange, menacingly organic noise rumbles through the entire chamber as it mutates before the Android's glowing eyes, a trio of ridges forming beneath the head proper which is itself graced by rows of throbbing studs. Along with the appearance comes size... in the span of a few seconds, it's gone from merely 'impressive' to 'deeply concerning', made all the more so when it lances a thick, cloudly rope of overcharged pre across her belly. Mio gulps around the tentacle stubbornly fucking her face, suddenly reminded of its presence by the sensation of how it interferes with that nervous, needless habit of hers. That... that -thing- can't possibly fit inside her! Or can it? Is that what the monster has been doing, this whole time? Testing her limits, mapping her body inside and out, learning precisely what she can and can't take? She jolts in her bonds as the brutally flared thing slaps against her vulnerable slit, drooling a fresh rope against her folds - mercilessly hot, and immediately tingle-inducing. All she can do is trust the amorous monstrosity's judgement... After all. This is what it was born to do. Even so, Mio's hands curl into tight fists and her eyes scrunch inwards and flash rampantly as the thing bundles itself up with pressure and then punches inside her, the only thing stopping her from tossing her head back and howling being the mindful tentacle around her neck and down her throat. Denied even that bit of agency, the pale doll dances with irregular twitches and jerks, now fucked in every hole she has to offer, spluttering her cries past her oral invader as her slit is stretched to its very limit!... but no further. That isn't to say that it's within Mio's ability to take it without losing her damned mind, of course. She has to shut off additional warnings that flash across her blurring, occasionally glitching vision as she's pounded from every direction at once, determined to ignore them, determined to simply live in this absurd, lustful moment... and to drink in every last detail of the way her body stretches to accommodate the new invader, along with the way the one ploughing her ass has to flatten and deform in response to its brutal, relentless size and pace. The sound of her muffled, heated whines turns to unrestrained howls, and then gains a wet, slurping overtone. She does it before she even consciously decides to - running her tongue back and forth and side to side beneath the one plundering her mouth, her cheeks hollowing slightly as she actively sucks it. Oh, void take her, if she was capable of blushing! The thought of how she must look... excitement, shame, freedom, servitude, so many complex emotions fighting for their right for control and entering, instead, into an uneasy stalemate. It doesn't last, of course, for her eager suckling spurs her unlikely lover to advance the urgency of its already overpowering thrusts up yet another notch, relishing in the way she squeals in lustful alarm as its walls contract sharply around her once more, narrowing the gap between herself and the cocoon by another foot. It's almost a facsimile of the way she, in turn, clamps down around her various intruders with unrestrained strength, unable to stop herself from milking them with everything her body has to offer... nor wanting to stop herself in the first place. Proof of her talented tongue isn't long in the making. Even with how furtively she sucks upon it, she can't stop the throbbing thing from pulling free of her throat, yanking her tongue out with it, where it remains as the Android watches in bleary, wincing anticipation. Not a single drop of this load is destined for her belly, for the overeager monster unleashes itself across her face instead - the previous streaking shot still clinging to her doll-like beauty now buried beneath a dozen fresh lashings of tar-thick spunk. She has the good sense to shut her eyes as they're thoroughly painted, though her mouth remains open, tongue twitching each time it's struck... until the deluge ends, and she pulls it back past quivering lips to swallow, loud and lurid, mouth clean as can be when she opens it back up. She allows her HUD to flash deconstructed data of the virile muck's chemical composition across her vision, instructing her of its heady taste... she smiles, then opens her mouth back up, tongue spilling free once more towards the tentacle hovering just by her face. Mio isn't sure if her captor is capable of seeing at all, but she decides that she enjoys the idea that this image, of her sunk so deeply in perverse enjoyment, is what causes this latest round of frantic fucking. When the tentacle buried deep in her backside unleashes yet another round of gut-swelling cumshots, she barely notices - though perhaps the way that it doesn't even slow down is more to blame. It simply can't compare to the one occupying her cunt with absolutely zero intention of ever leaving it, fucking her as though they belong together, hammering her slit with all the intention of a rampaging beast in deepest rut. After all... the shape of it, the thickness, the chillingly monstrous design... all made for her, from the data it gathered toying with her body. With her mouth unoccupied - despite the invitation - it isn't long before Mio begins to gasp and moan once more, as if only just remembering to do so. It isn't long before she's panting with a deep heat as latent, primal instincts from her brain-scanned personality matrices hold her hand and guide her through the motions. She feels herself being pulled onto her 'back', still suspended from the tentacles above and on either side, managing to open one eye from beneath her heavy facial to watch as the limited world of her trembling cocoon pans before her vision. It isn't a sight that holds her attention for long, of course. Not with the scene of her stomach - so taut, flawless and pristine under normal circumstances - and the way it bulges outwards with the jackhammer blows of the obscene breeding tool made just for her. For a while, words have been impossible to form. Beyond her. But as she watches multiple, sluggish bulges begin to travel up the tentacle's length, rising up from the shallow pool of steaming jizz that now coats the floor of her prison chamber, Mio finally finds some most enthusiastic words. "YES! GIVE IT TO ME!" And so it does. Mio's howl of bliss rings piercingly loud through the snug little living chamber as that first bulge of top-shelf tentacle spunk meets her taut-spread lips and slips inside, soon erupting with intense pressure from the flared tip against her deepest walls. It's the first of... oh, two, three, four-- and that's where Mio loses count. Where software trying to juggle so much data just fails, gives up, and straps in for the ride. Where her eyes flash in opposing, irregular flares, the other shooting wide open through her mask of spunk as her sex-crazed cries distort and cut out and in at random. As surge after surge of the tentacle's finest breeding sludge is pumped into her receptive body, Mio feels emergency power rushing through her limbs, her systems understanding that she's overwhelmed, but not the why of it. That energy has to go somewhere, of course... A hazy idea. But one worth pursuing. Tapping into her backed-up data from earlier, Mio rides out her incredible climax with the vast majority of her computing power, managing to shield off just enough to put her plan into action, shutting and isolating vital components of her body and mind from the incoming surge... and pointedly leaving one path open, all but ensuring that several subsystems are doomed to fry if she doesn't purge the rampant power through offensive measures. Subsystems like her identification chip, like a deed to her very existence. Mio grins as her horn crackles and sparks, and as her stomach groans and swells taut around its payload. How funny, she muses, that she complained about this cheap gynoid body earlier this very day. Now it - and a good, hard fucking - are going to set her free. The surge hits, and Mio refuses to shunt it from her horn. She could, certainly - she could fry her captor, reduce it to ash and sizzling calamari, but she refuses to do so. She muses on every last monster she was forced to eradicate during this mission, keeping them in her fracturing mind as she rides out the storm... literally, her body rippling with errant sparks and arcs of electricity. Her eyes flash so brightly, one would be forgiven for ducking and covering - an explosion seems inevitable and imminent... but instead, Mio tosses her head back with another blissful roar, and then she goes still as an idle puppet, left to hang in those swinging tentacles... a smile etched on her face as her lights fade and her body undergoes a hard reboot. After a moment of hesitation, the tentacles begin to move again. They thought they were doomed, for a moment there. One of the ones looped around her arms gives a nervous squeeze... and then a relieved 'coo' rings out through the chamber when her hand twitches, squeezing back around the tip nuzzled into her fist. With the safety of their catch assured, the tentacles see no reason not to start up their breeding frenzy once more... and though Mio can't respond just yet, they have her silent blessing. The Cleaners aren't due for a while, after all. <<link "<s>MERCANOID M10</s> Mio, offlining for recalibrations." "MERCANOID Neutral Ending 4">><</link>>

Three years pass, time's march as unrelenting as ever. "Oi, Mio!" Mia scowls, her pastel blue eyes intensifying and dimming in tune with her words - mouth covered by the pressure-mask that clamps across the lower half of her face. The MERCANOID stands a good distance down the dorsal lane of the Little Finger, though her words reach Mio just fine - spoken on internal communications. Yelling, after all, wouldn't get her words very far in the vacuum of space. Mio ignores her, for the moment. She's indulging in a favoured pastime - that being leaning upon the massive multi-wrench she makes a living with, head clamped down onto the ship's hull, handle-end just the right height for crossing her arms upon and relaxing. The distant stares rocket past in the reflection of her shining eyes, and her peaceful smile refuses to falter in the slightest - even when she feels the encroaching vibrations of Mia's magnetic footstomps approaching. Whatever it is, it must be important, and so Mio shuts her eyes and straightens up, a hand grasping her wrench as she carefully turns to face her sister-unit. Blue. Blue, blue, and more blue. That's Mia. A body awash in ocean tones, from bright azure to deepest navy, her right arm still clad in aquatic-operation camo from an op long ago. Two horns as opposed to Mio's one, and a harder face - a more chiselled jaw, verging upon but not spilling into masculine. As usual, she wears her frown beneath her modified facsimile of hair, curved blades akin to Mio's own shaped and covering one eye. When she comes to a stop before Mio, Mio is forced to crane her neck back - just a little - to maintain eye contact. Mia's about a head taller than her... and still getting used to personal bubbles. "I heard you. What's up?" Mio asks, reaching back with her other arm to join the grip on her wrench, now leaning back upon it. Mia huffs, adjusting the massive lance-welder she has slugged over one shoulder. "You got any idea where we're going yet? Mossi wants to know." Mia demands. Her tone is, as ever, needlessly aggressive - but Mio doesn't hold it against her. She knows that her team all have their quirks, drawbacks - or, sometimes, benefits - of their unorthodox route to self-awareness. In time, Mia will learn, adapt, and improve. With that in mind, Mio smiles - as best she can around her pressure-mask, anyway. "Further out into the distant colonies. This ship's paying us what they owe at the next station - plus whatever I and Muri can convince them to provide as a bonus." she explains as her personal files on Mossi and Muri alike flicker through her mind. Muri was the first of her sisters she was able to free from Zia'jol's ownership, and while her skills in repair are nothing to sniff at, the burgundy-toned robot's true talents lie in 'diplomacy'. Mio can't help but smile a little wider beneath her mask, thinking back on how timid she was but two years prior, and how much she's come into her own since then. Such a change reminds her that Mia, a mere three months new to the team, still has plenty of room to smooth her gruff attitude... if she chooses to, of course. The azure Android scratches at her pressure-mask - an odd habit, but not one Mio judges - and shrugs. "Mm... fine. I'll relay it to Mossi." she mutters, turning on her heels - a difficult act when mag-locked to a speeding starship's hull - and stomping away. Given that the whole team of six are linked for instant communication, Mio wonders who she thinks she's fooling with that. Giggling to herself, she turns back around to face the front of the vessel, watching as its shields occasionally flare and pop with micro-impacts, like bugs on a windshield. Mossi. Timid at a glance, but merely quiet and thoughtful once you get to know her. Not above a spot of fun, if the occasion calls for it - and most certainly knocking boots with Mia... on top, despite being even shorter than Mio! The liberated MERCANOID's eyes dart from flare to flare upon the shields, reflecting on how this business venture of hers made such freedoms possible in the first place. Exterior ship repair and instant-response maintenance. It's a tricky job, and not for the faint-hearted... but Mio's growing team excels at it. Having been forced to salvage and repair themselves so many times, the M-units are swift to adapt to even the most unorthodox of ship designs, and - so long as Mio, Muri and, to a lesser degree, Meeka are around to lay the diplomacy on thick - their presence is often welcome among the mid-sized crews they service. No extra food supplies needed, no extra room on the ship - though Mio is usually able to negotiate shifts in and out of the vessel for her more anxious kin. More than a couple of crews have floated offers of full-time employment, but each one has been turned down - politely, but firmly. To Mio, the main perk of the job is travel. The freedom. Choosing where she and her sisters go, putting it up to vote where appropriate, drifting ever closer to the scattered, bounced signatures of their far-flung sisters. For each M-unit they free from Zia'jol's ownership, his grip tightens further, the missions more far-flung... Mio tightens her grip on the wrench, eyes defiant, confident, focused on the brightest star dead ahead of her. She won't stop until every last one of them is freed. Whether they stay is up to them - Minnie and Moo stay in touch, thankfully, and that's all Mio asks of them. Their presence is missed, but not required - nothing is required of them but their freedom. Mio glances over her shoulder, gaze torn from the stars, to observe Mia as the tall 'Droid services a stubborn solar-shielding plate, the hydraulic arm jammed. Now her smile turns to a smirk, knowing full well that her fellow M-unit is simply bored... or, perhaps, needy. Right this second, Muri - her absence upon the ship's exterior nothing unusual - probably has her legs wrapped around whichever crew member most took her fancy, busy introducing them to the prospect-ruining wonders of her vibration functions. With every crew they part ways with, Mio can always tell who's fallen for her - that mixture of awe and woe in watering eyes that fail to make contact. But Mia, despite having similar needs, just doesn't trust most organics - and Mossi's moods are fleeting, their relationship more based on care than on lust. Thankfully, there are exceptions to Mia's distrust of organics... Mio smiles. A hand raises from the wrench to rest on the SLAM launcher at her shoulder, able to feel its unusual cargo from behind the pressure-sealed compartment. As it turns out, the friend she made down on Vi-16 is quite adaptable. Given that it provided her with the keys to freedom, and given the path of violence she carved through that facility... she decided to breach a little protocol, here and there. When the Cleaners arrived, guns loaded with Territorial Acid - primed to melt monsters but spare their victims - they were surprised to find a power-drained but functional Mio by herself, sitting calmly upon a chair in her own little storage chamber, clothing and gear folded neatly on a dry perch away from the sheer sexual carnage that coated the rest of the room. In her words, she had succeeded in her mission and then did her best to contain the infestation: having concluded battle with one of the ringleaders mere moments before their arrival. Despite a suspicious lack of remains, the scorch marks from her weaponry seemed to confirm the story... and so, Mio was escorted from the base, cleaned up, re-armed, and sent back on a transport to her former owner's base of operations - a transport she easily redirected. No one thought to check her remaining stock of missiles, though, in fairness, Mio initially couldn't believe her eyes when Morlu squeezed itself so intensely down into an emptied shell. Doing so was taxing on the poor thing, but it was preferable to trying to convince crews to let an undocumented prototype tentacle monster aboard their ships. Besides... Mio always makes sure to make the most of their time together when he's allowed out - and if it isn't with her, it's with any number of her fellow units at a time. Especially - Mio's smirk grows wider - Mia, who seemed downright smitten from the moment her identification chip went 'pop'. While they've found less extreme methods of burning out the malignant little piece of hardware since Mio's almost cataclysmic climax back on Vi-16, taking a tumble with Morlu is practically a rite of passage for the M-units. The casing of her SLAM Launcher roils slightly beneath her touch, Morlu letting her know that it's alive and well... though she can feel an impatient -thrum- running through it. Beneath her mask, Mio bites her lower lip, wondering just how pent up her 'boyfriend' must be after this particularly long-haul trip of theirs. First... score a nice bonus with Muri's flirtatious help. Then, the best suite at whatever passes for their destination's finest hotel. Mio turns her head and plants a contactless kiss upon her launcher casing, giggling when she feels Morlu tremble within it. It'll be a while before the team reaches the next of their sisters, and a little break for some R&R won't hurt. Lowering her arm, Mio resumes her favourite stance and, after a quick check-in with the status lights of her sisters, turns back to the rushing stars ahead. Reaching out with fingers outstretched, she almost feels like every last one of them is within her reach. Oh, how she can't wait to visit them all. <hrt><hr></hrt> Thank you for playing MERCANOID and achieving the 'Neutral' ending. To achieve the 'Good' ending, rescue at least six characters from the Hive. You may now return to just before Mio entered the final confrontation, if you wish! <<link "Let's go again."

"--lo? Are you waking up?" Self-repairing functions work diligently in the brief time Mio spends 'unconscious', adrift in a strange state halfway between functioning and not. Her sensors do their work, but her artificial mind struggles to keep up with them - vague sensations of elevation, of wet and lengthy somethings crossing her body, coiling around hard and soft-case alike. Of a familiar but faraway voice. Of her burden diminishing... along with her defensive and offensive capabilities. With her self-repair suite giving the green light, Mio's eyes shoot open upon her impassive face, lit only by her own glowing gaze, painting herself and her surroundings in cherry-pink light that bounces off of the coiling 'walls' all around her. Tentacles... thick ones. Plenty of them, too, a mere few feet away from her in all directions. The floor, the ceiling... all covered. Her earlier assessment of the dim light was inaccurate - beyond her eyes, some of it is provided by faintly glowing bulbs among the coated surfaces of the chamber, not an inch left exposed. She could be in the middle of any of the rooms she's visited tonight and be none-the-wiser for it. It is, in and of itself, an odd sensation for the Android, with all of her location-tagging equipment usually handling that sort of thing for her. This absent-minded tangent leads Mio to notice two other things. One: the covered floor and ceiling are the same distance away from her as the walls are, given her suspended state. Two: she is not alone within this writhing prison. Suspended in much the same manner mere feet away from her is Mimi, her Elven guise partially restored, though her face far more 'honest', along with her skin tone: wide, expressive and alien eyes half-shut with concern, skin a pastel coral. It's a similar look of concentration to the one she wore earlier when she stepped in to save Mio's mission. It's less strained, however - almost meditative, were it not for the slight furrows in her brow. Mio pauses a moment longer, then parses the half-heard question, finally. "I'm awake, yes." she confirms as if her eyes shooting high beams and painting Mimi's nude form with their lilac glow didn't make that obvious. A somewhat lithe figure, presumably the Mimic Queen's preferred form - even if she could take others. Mio smiles, respectful enough to keep her eyes on the monstergirl's slightly nervous face. "Thank you for earlier." "It's alright. I've... explained some things to the Hive... it's a little complicated, but it all routes through me and back out. Many minds, but one mind. But... the overbearing emotion right now is-- hh!-- f-frustration!--" Mimi admits, cut off when the tentacles hoisting both women aloft tighten up suddenly, earning a surprised gasp from Mio, too. However... she can't help but notice that despite this obvious irritation felt by their tentacular captors, they aren't fucking them stupid. Mio blinks as she looks around through her strained grimace, then gazes back to Mimi with surprise on her face. "Are you teaching the Hive consent?" Mio asks with a slight chuckle. Mimi's cheeks puff as she gives a petulant pout, her partially-transformed hair flicking up as she turns her head. "I'm trying, ok! But... I-I don't think they're going to calm down until they deal with this frustration. You, well... sort of disrupted things a lot by rescuing the people you did. But... this was all my fault. So... I'm keeping them at bay. I wanted to... ask you, if you'd be willing to help me again. In a different way, this time..." Mimi admits, her own glowing eyes glancing left and right and all around nervously, a number of thick, blunt-headed tentacles drooling with obvious intent as they hover near and between the girls. Mio follows the gaze briefly, swallowing drily. "If you say no... I'll make them let you go. And I'll deal with it myself. See, I'm... making them release everyone throughout the facility, and I'll just... handle it myself, even if it's too much for me. Hgnh--" Mimi's cut off by enough harsh squeeze, and this time Mio feels more than frustration, blessed as she is with context. Tentacles fit for fucking roughly five dozen people are now all focused on just the two of them, and that number might be halved again. This coiling grasp isn't cruel possessiveness, it's blinding, all-encompassing need. Mio purses her lips. If her cheeks could blush, they surely would. She's damaged, already overwhelmed from her time in the facility... but she's missed her ride out of here. The fallback plan is to wait until the Cleaners show up and do their thing, so... She has some time to kill. "Well... It's not like I have better plans." Mio admits, smirking slightly. Mimi's eyes light up, but then she pauses, shaking her head. "Hrmh... nothing vague about it, please. Yes, or no. Because once I stop focusing on it... th-these guys aren't gunna stop until they're satisfied." Mimi shivers, clearly at the breaking point of her mental hold. Mio sighs, a little embarrassed yet again. This would be easier without another person in the room... Ugh, to hell with inhibition. "Mimi, give them the go-ahead already and let's get fucking wrecked." Mio grins. Mimi barks out a rough chuckle and instantly sags her shoulders, the tax on her brain akin to holding a hundred leashes at once... now dropped. The reaction of the tentacular walls all around the pair is eager, and instant. The sudden inward-collapse of the tentacular walls is briefly terrifying, but Mio and Mimi alike gasp in surprise as the distance between them closes in the blink of an eye: body to body, chest to chest, the Mimic's oddly cool breath washing over Mio's doll-like face. The tentacles that were merely holding Mio aloft before now tear at her $Player_outfit with fervent need, the Android watching in awe as she's stripped to her pale synthskin via brute force and sprayed, specialized acid. The resulting heady wisps of smoke just add to the boiling, claustrophobic atmosphere as the girls are spared an immediate ravaging due to internal politicking: tentacles of different designs bashing into one another and vying for the limited space they've left. A glance at Mimi's eyes reveals them to be darting in every direction at once... until they settle on Mio, a bashful look crossing the girl's face. "Thank you, by the way... I should say that while I still can, ehehhhmhn!!--" the Mimic jinxes herself, the attention drawn to her mouth immediately capitalized upon by a thick, girthy tentacle riddled with pulsing veins. It pushes past her lips and stretches them taut, but Mimi's eyes flutter, far from upset by the bold move. Mio bites her lip... then shrugs, opening her mouth wide, casting her mind into the frankly absurdly detailed data her replacement torso contains about everything sexual. The invitation is immediately accepted by a twin to Mimi's invader, Mio letting out a 'Mrrrsph!' when it slips past her lips and burrows into her cheek. Oh, no wonder!... it tastes surprisingly nice. Fruity, almost. With the girls both thoroughly muted, the coming noises of dizzying pleasure are unintelligible, to say the least. It's almost like a contest between them to see who can be the loudest when, in perfect unison, thick lengths spear into either awaiting pussy with rampant breeding intent. Mio does a gallant job of applying the advanced cocksucking theories she's pulled up into practice, but she soon realizes there's simply no need for her to bother: her tentacular suitors are more than happy to do all of the work for them both. And so, the Android decides to simply relish in the primal, brutal pleasures of being used. Of being spread so fiercely from both ends, any potential stress and harm completely mitigated by the cunningly engineered chemical lubricant exuded by the Hive, leaving only the ecstasy of such fearsome fucking. But it isn't enough - at least, not for the Hive. Hence... "NRMMPGH~--" "NHYYYIGHMM--~" ... their muffled voices rising high above the cacophonic din of organic squelching and slithering when a pair of oversized, rib-textured brutes force their way slowly but surely into the girls' backsides. Heavy-lidded, overpleasured expressions turning to cross-eyed shock when they feel one another's bellies writhe due to their intense proximity, only to flutter back to perverse relief when those imposing tentacles finally withdraw... only to slip back inside just as deep, a slow and steady and firm rhythm to contrast against the frantic fucking of faces and fuckholes below. Some strategic re-angling of the tentacles groping the women's chests allows them to brush tit to tit, slickened nipple to nipple, little pangs of shared pleasure that allow quivering little gasps and whines to mingle with the heady groans. All of these whimpering noises falter and become lurid, swallowing gags when the rough pace of the tentacles upon their lips proves too much for the Hive, bursting with thick, potent seed, forcing each girl to gulp it down. Their necks undulate sinfully with each spurt before their suitors withdraw to rudely plaster their faces in the last few dregs, each swapping to spew the other woman, light coughs and huffs erupting from them as their meals sit heavy and heated. "You're-- hnh~- w-welcome!-" Mio manages to gasp, her eyes crossing with each dive up her rear by that girthy spire. Mimi needs a second to remember the context of that comment, but in the brief window where her remaining brain cells align, she smiles happily. Not that she isn't already smiling, planting a kiss on the bloated head of the tentacle that's lingering by her cheek, allowing it to withdraw so that another may take its place, this time coiling around her neck before it dives in and makes the Mimic 'glrk!!~' But here the symmetry ends for Mio, who glances left and then right at the sudden appearance of two competing tentacles at either corner of her lips. She frowns ever so slightly - a more familiar expression for the Android - as both creep closer. "H-hey now, you twooommmmghpghlk?!-" she splutters, eyes at once wide and forced half-shut as both slip into her mouth from either side! She shudders as they screw into her cheeks and wrestle for space inside her maw, slathering her tongue with their sweet juices and bashing awkwardly against her throat in a way that confuses her programming and makes her writhe and squirm. Eventually, they settle on a rhythm - one pulls out, and one dives in. That retreats, and the other slips inside. A petite giggle rings through the organic chaos, and Mio is dimly aware of it coming from Mimi at her expense. No matter - the Android is placated by the surprisingly tantalizing tastes. For the needy tentacles, however? The durability of its squirming, moaning prizes is an important revelation. Mimi's dainty, muffled laughter is terminated with a harsh, guttural groan of brute pleasure as something unseen assails her from below. Mio can hazard a guess, though - and soon her eyes are crossing sharply when something more slender but no less determined slips inside her cunt, thrusting at a completely different pace from the initial intruder, affording her not even a second of time to adjust. The Hive wants to fuck these women - to use them for as long as they last... and after the day she's had, Mio is happy to let them. Intense though it may be, it's but the calm before the storm. It's as if a fragile ceasefire has been broken, the tentacular walls falling apart as the individual coils lose cohesion in their eagerness to enjoy the two willing women. At once as liberating as it is stifling, near every last inch of flesh and metal gripped and grasped. Practically blindfolded by hive-flesh, Mio is only dimly aware of her arms - now freed - moving of their own accord, pumping back and forth and twisting with programmed expertise to the delight of the broad, thick lengths occupying them. With their surroundings exposed and her mind reaching its conscious limits from chemically-enhanced pleasure, Mio's one exposed eye - the other wrapped and concealed - beholds strange, alien figures looming around her and Mimi. Familiar ones. <> <<linkreplace "Gurgling Goop...">> Mio flickers back to active consciousness to a shockingly vivid taste stuffing her cheeks to bloating. Other sensations of being filled to the brim, of being partially suspended - weightlessly held in portions of her body and left to dangle with others. With a bleary gaze around her purple-tinged surroundings, Mimi stands out like a splash of coral upon an ocean floor; just as well-gooped as Mio herself. With one ankle glued firmly to her asscheek and the other leg left to hang limply and sway with each fluid thrust, Mio feels a cry gurgle through her stuffed throat as the Glob squeezes her tightly, a high-pressure hug that massages her acting soft-case components wonderfully... from within, and from without. But the Glob has no time for letting her ride out that poisonous climax it's just coaxed out of her. Mio barely has time to register the pleasure of her suspended predicament before her mind begins to overload again, eyes flashing through various blue-toned error codes before she crashes once more. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Canned Tentacles...">> Mio is awoken by her own cries of bliss, her vision flickering back layer by layer, colours all nonsense until they sharply collide back into clear focus. Spittle flies from her parted lips before her moans are silenced by the sudden presence of another thick, needy length, plunging down her throat which parts with ease around its girth. Evidently, she's been doing this for a while... reclined as she is atop a Shambler as it hugs her everywhere at once, plunging into every available hole with frantic vigour, some unused tentacles even massaging her limbs - a useless gesture, but it's the thought that counts. It seems Mimi is getting the same treatment, albeit on her front, face buried into a cushioned lump of the shapeless thing's body in order to stifle her wild cries as she takes two tentacles up her ass at once. Mio briefly gives a bemused smirk, impressed... until she realizes she's getting the same treatment herself: a realization brought about by a sudden, mind-shattering climax and shutdown. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Small, but Eager...">> Mio isn't particularly proud of the noises that jolt her back awake - noises she herself is making. But they can barely be heard over the frantic, heavy -SMAK--SMAK--SMAK- of the Drikk frantically piledriving her upturned rear, the Android finding herself on her knees, cheek to the floor, drooling brainlessly as the little Monster unloads another heavy, churning load with shotgun-like force deep inside her overfilled body. It's the briefest of respites, during which Mio can force her eyes to focus on her surroundings. Impressively, the position Mimi finds herself in can best be described as an outright mating press... with a partner no bigger than her own head slamming with cheek-jiggling force down into her pussy so fast that its diminutive body is a blur. Unlike Mio, she isn't moaning quite as loud - more gagging luridly from the one fucking her face with just as much vigour. Mio briefly wonders why she isn't getting that treatment herself, but then the hitherto unfelt grip around her neck gently tightens and she becomes aware of the grotesquely designed length resting against her cheek. Ah!... the Drikk was just concerned about her brief spout of inactivity. She inwardly remarks how sweet that is, though as another circuit-frazzling climax shunts her back onto emergency autopilot the last sound she registers is her own 'GLRRK~!' <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Mental Masks... (Mind-play.)">> Mio is vaguely aware of the pulsing red glow of her own eyes, obscured as they are beneath the Veil's mask lopsidedly clinging to her face as she sucks upon its length. Not all the way. Not without her permission. Not that it isn't tempting - perhaps it simply can't help it. She wonders if it would let her go if she willfully submitted to it all the way, urged it just that little bit deeper past her lips... the interior tendrils clutch her head tightly but do not slip further. Mio can't see Mimi, her vision reduced to a sliver of movement to her bottom right, beneath the hazily unfocused wall of the mask's fleshy interior. But she can certainly hear her, moaning, groaning... slurping. Is she having the same thoughts, when they aren't being frazzled and obliterated by pulses of pure pleasure? No time to wonder - the Veil's interior glows brightly, and Mio knows it means another few minutes of blissful oblivio- <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Suspicious Chests...">> Mio's eyes flare brightly as her senses return to the foreground, sparked by a piston-rattling climax that makes her grind her teeth and shudder out a half-silenced gasp. With her hips totally subsumed inside the Mimic-infested crate, legs and arms hanging awkwardly on either side of it like a tentacular hot tub, Mio is only vaguely aware of Mimi back-to-back against her, squealing out with glee. She squeezes something, not recognizing the sensation immediately until it squeezes back-- Mimi's hand, clutching hards as hard she clutches it, fingers laced tightly, anchoring one another in the savage, slick storms between their legs. Is this one particularly big Mimic, or a horde of them in one vessel? It would just take one little tug to pull them both inside, cramped and packed away, the lid sealed shut tight... and occasionally, they lurch downwards fast enough to make a pit whoosh in Mio's stomach, her eyes thrown wide. But it never takes them all the way. Just teasing, thrilling, fucking. The next time it happens, it's too much - Mio is pushed into another major climax, and this one jolts her offline. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Gulping Vines... (Vore)">> Mio only barely regains consciousness within the tight confines of the Gulper: made all the cosier by sharing it with a squirming Mimi. What's that slipping around her tongue like a determined drill?... ah! It's Mimi's. Her hands on Mio's hips, Mio's hands crossed around the Monstergirl's back, heads tilted as they squeal and moan into one another's lips. Hard not to make such noises, what with the Gulper's internal tendrils diving between their legs, one hooked up around Mimi's hips. Chest to chest, belly to belly, feeling every last inch of what's inside them and what's inside the other. The Gulper occasionally slows down the frantic feast between their thighs to give them both a tight squeeze, mashing them together so finely that their shared silhouettes are thrown into sharp relief... only to mesh and meld shapelessly into one another whenever the heavy, hanging plant relaxes. Mio vaguely thinks to check her timestamps to see how long they've been inside of this thing, but before the information can load - her mind strained to a crawl by data overload - she once again crashes. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Ugly Meat... (Mind Play)">> Mio sucks. Mio slurps. Mio is dimly aware of the hearts throbbing in her eyes, pixelated, cartoonish animations pulsing as she forms a tight seal on the massive, pulsing nut before her and pulls back, managing to just barely lift it before the seal breaks and lets it swing back down with a jostle. She extends her tongue and runs it wildly up and down and across from side to side, giggles, then resumes the loop - all whilst looking up at the leering face of the FUM with its hand on her head, pulsing mindnumbing magics straight into her biomechanical brain. A fresh wave of utter euphoria each time she repeats the loop, with a bonus whenever it coaxes another drooling spurt of his heavy seed. Dutifully attending to the other side is Mimi. Are they in competition? Mio has the vague sensation that they are, but... if they are, they're both winning. Suckle, smack, moan, slurp. Suckle, smack, moan, slurp-- and then her eyes flare brightly as the FUM gives her just a little too much juice when he blows his load, raining down upon the pair, putting her back to autopilot once more. Funnily, she's sure she's doing the exact same thing anyway. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<if $Jiikii_Safe gte 1>> <<linkreplace "Giggling Dolls...">> After the day she's had, it's almost refreshing to be getting fucked by something more bipedal. Many somethings. Splayed out on her front upon one Doll, chests squashed - Mio's dwarfed by the bimbo-aesthetic gel girl as she grips the Android's hips tightly and hammers up into her awaiting cunt. The squeal she emits is caused by a harsh spank from the larger one ramming her ass from above, and it's stifled by the berry-flavoured cock bulging her throat, flattening her tongue and stuffing her lips taut. It's something of a mercy that the gaggle of goo girls are too busy enjoying her and Mimi to give their usual quips. Just giggles, groans and gasps of delight as they suddenly elect upon yet another new position, abruptly tossing Mio atop a startled Mimi on her back, atop another Doll! It's a logistical nightmare, but it's clear the Dolls don't care as every hole is quickly filled once more... And on and on it goes, giggles ringing through a grinding loop in Mio's head as a deluge of lilac-tinged spunk overloads her mind once more. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_Vent gte 3>> <<linkreplace "Hugging Slugs...">> The high-pressure slamfucking of a Bearslug's suction-cup hug is cramped enough without a second passenger, but Mio takes some small comfort in Mimi being the one on top of her rather than vice versa. She almost doesn't know where she begins, where Mimi ends and where the Bearslug persists, her world reduced to strobing splashes of almost hypnotic colour, high-pitched moans and stifled grunts, and, of course, that relentless slamming of each girl's hips. As the minutes trickle by - and as more and more loads are dumped inside each offered hole - the slug hugs all the tighter, glueing the girls to the floor, no doubt determined to leave as much of a mess as possible once it relinquishes them both... Well. For some reason, the word 'if' springs to Mio's mind. And for some reason, that excites her... <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <<if $Meh_Safe gte 1>> <<linkreplace "Sinful Serpents...">> "A-AREN'T YOU-- S-SUPPOSED TO BE-- I-IN THE SAFE ROO~oOOHGHM--" Mio squeals, her eyes crossed and rolled tightly as vicious venom courses through her biomechanicals, crushed tightly against Mimi within Meh's constantly spiralling coils. The Slammia leans back with her arms spread across the piping she's reclining on, shrugging as she tightens the vice further, both girls encased up to their necks in coils... and both at the very limit of their sanities. "Got bored. Felt like a walk... slither. Whatever. Cute friend, by the way. I'm gunna break her." Meh smirks, then yawns out another dose of pink smog across the pair, upping their dosage of brain-melting aphrodisiacs another notch. Mio's eyes flicker off into standby, and it isn't for the first nor last time... <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <<linkreplace "But all good things must come to an end.">> Hours pass. The frenzied fucking turns needy mating turns tired humping. Even the Hive has its limits - especially with Mimi coaxing it to calm down every spare second of cognitive thought has to spare, with Mio just along for the ride, doing her part to fulfil every need that comes her way... and plenty of her own. It's the hardest trial of her life in some ways, and the easiest in others: but certainly the most satisfying. It's oh-so-worth it to see the shock on the Cleaner's faces - not even heavy filtration masks capable of hiding their surprise - when they step into the base to find the situation under control. Every last captive either on their feet or resting things off... with a cum-soaked Android who doesn't even work for the company there to greet them. Fill them in on a few things - persons of interest, the status of the cargo... maybe leaving out a detail or two, here and there, for the sake of new friends. And with that done? Mio clanks a damaged hand against her helmet in a salute, gives a tired smile, and then crumples to the ground for a well-earned emergency recharge. But as she does so - caught before the fall by a Cleaner quick on his or her feet - a thought occurs to her... someone she'd like to speak to one more time before she's off to whatever mission might come next. <<link "I'd like to speak to Selene one more time. She was nice." "MERCANOID Good Ending Nova">><<set $MERCA_ENDING to "MERCANOID Good Ending Selene">><</link>> <</linkreplace>> <>

Time passes. The mothership of the MERCANOID corporation sits in orbit around a different moon, just as lifeless as Vi-16. Having spent the last two decades of his life bossing sullen-faced Androids around, the gentle but confident smile of the machine sitting opposite Ziajol now is all the more infuriating. Compared to the tacky hoard-aesthetic of the Dragon's office - all gold leaf and crimson - the Buildborn is resplendent with her sleek black limbs polished to a fine sheen, half-unbuttoned shirt contrasting in dazzling white. With one armoured leg crossed over the other, in her hands lies a portable terminal pad with the details of a contract. His last contract. Finally getting out of this credit-hole of a business. Doesn't exactly feel like a triumph, though. The mountain of evidence submitted in the wake of Mio's actions down at that damn facility left few lawyers willing to argue his case... and none that were willing to work on contingency. He lied through his fangs, insisted she never showed prior signs of sentience, but could only protect his remaining assets: he could not retain what he now realizes was his best soldier. Now Nova's glowing eyes flit from word to word of that contract with a speed he can't hope to match, visibly spin and narrow to zoom in on the finest of fine prints. He bares his teeth slightly, adjusting his tie with his fist clenched a little too tightly. There's no slipping anything by this damned robot. An experienced businesswoman - richer than him without even a fraction of the weight on his soul. Nonetheless... "Marvellous." Nova finally deigns to speak. It's been an awkward silence - awkward on Ziajol's part, that is. He prefers the type who sign instantly, but at least it gave him some time to admire Nova's... chassis. Part of him never wants to see an Android again. Another part of him is thinking about putting the leggy combat-cabaret bot in her place, over his desk, where she bel-- "Marvellous? Terms accepted, then?" Ziajol snaps back to reality, finally parsing what Nova said, doing his best to keep the bewilderment off of his face. The terms of the deal are utter crap. A first draft, full of provisions he barely even dreamed of daring to dream to try and get away with... and she's saying-- "Marvellous! As I said." Nova insists, dismissing the terminal - both top and bottom projecting ends collapsing into a single neat, slim rod, easily stored in her forearm. That's odd. She's smiling, but she didn't sign. So why does she look like she's done here? Ziajol goes to speak, to demand answers, but Nova - who seems to have been patiently waiting for him to do just that - cuts him off, commanding the flow of conversation - if it can be so-called. "To tell you the truth, I stopped reading after the first section. I mean, really... You wanted how much interest? And to keep four of the units? No. See, I could play this game with you, do the back and forth, whittle away your absurd demands until I leave with every last girl and you with what little coin you might deserve, but!... that won't be necessary." Nova explains, tilting her head with a satisfied edge to her smile. Ziajol is so taken aback that he needs a moment to remember how to speak at all. When he does, he's furious, of course. "And why the bloody hell do you come to that conclusion!?" he spits - literally, unfortunately - as he stands and leans over the desk, buttoned shirt creaking beneath the waistcoat as he jabs a finger in Nova's direction. But then he stops. His eyes widen as the open doorway, out into the central corridor of this deck of the ship... dark. Keep the lights off, why not? Saves credits. The Mercanoids don't need to see. Not with eyes that glow so bright... two dozen pairs staring him down from the gloom, practically clambered atop of one another to fit in frame. Ziajol gawps, his eyes flitting from shadowed face to shadowed face, and then they land back upon Nova's smile. "I figured we'd skip all that and I'd just use the time to ping your central computer back and forth a few times. Ask it some questions, make friends, get some information... control codes, for example. And how to delete them. Quite easy seeing as I have the access password, courtesy of an ex-employee of yours. But I suppose they're all ex-employees now!~" "You-- you miserable FUCKDOLL! You can't do this to me! This is illegal! This is--" "Frontier space!" Nova interrupts as she stands, brushing her skirt down with a single hand, tucking the other behind her back. "Where no one can hear you scream." she concludes... as the horde of glowing eyes rushes forwards. If a Dragon screams in space, but no one who cares is around to hear it... did it really happen? <<link "Not that Mio didn't enjoy the recording... wherever she ended up." $MERCA_ENDING>><</link>>

"Mio, honey! What're ya watching?" Selene inquires, announcing her return 'home', the door to their shared quarters sliding open as gracefully as the Elf as she steps through it. Mio looks up from her terminal with an immediate smile - a gentle one, replacing the look of justice she wore on her face a mere split second before. She glances back to the screen once more, gives a silent 'thank you' to Nova for acting on her tip-off, and then closes the terminal screen with one hand. A new hand, at that. "Oh, just a message from a friend." Mio replies with a sly edge to her smile, leaning back in her seat. The room she shares with her girlfriend is spacious and secure, with a twin bed at one end and enough room for both women to have their own desks and setups... and wardrobe. Mio's limbsets, after all, each take up considerably more room than the average dress. She's wearing one of them now - work limbs, almost top-of-the-line. They move with fluid grace compared to her old ones, but look fairly similar in design - some habits die hard, even when given the gift of choice. The biggest change would be the hair: still favouring that imitation of a bob cut, but without the militarized cap, more hinged mountings for individual movement and expression. Overall, the Android hasn't changed much. A little taller, a little sleeker, a little cleaner; and a lot happier. As Selene enters the room proper and shrugs her coat off past her bare shoulders - favouring a tight black halter-necked top today - so that she might hang it up, Mio stands up from her desk and crosses the ground between them in an instant, wrapping the taller woman in a hug from behind. Selene giggles and plants her hands on Mio's own, leaning back, the Buildborn's face stubbornly planted against her back. "Feeling affectionate today? Cute~. When did you get off?" Selene inquires innocently, the setup for a daily joke. Mio replies, albeit muffledly. "I can't get off without you." she delivers the punchline as usual, then finally pulls her face back and releases Selene to let her turn around, Mio's face now buried in her sizeable chest. "In all seriousness... only half an hour ago or so. And I only stepped inside about 10 minutes ago. We have a couple of new recruits in security, so I was drilling them on emergency procedures." Mio explains with a dreamy smile, not breaking eye contact with the equally adoring Selene for even a second, who simply delights in hearing about her lover's day as a security officer. And, in turn: "How about you? No containment slips?" the Synthetic smirks, already knowing the answer. Selene, nonetheless, plants a polished nail against the corner of her lip and feigns some classical bimbo ignorance for a moment. "Gosh! None spring to mind. Like, there waaaas this one cute lil' Glob that looked lonely in its test habitat, so I miiight've let him outside? I don't remember. she quips. It's a joke, of course: these days, the Hive is very well-behaved... and very well looked after. Anything that shows any potential signs of actualization is separated and carefully observed for sentience; anything that develops it is removed from the program and put into specialized care. Some even end up as employees. "Who cares: weekend!~ Not our proooooblem." she concludes, then squeals in delight. Mio blinks - she'd completely forgotten about the weekend. While the lovers work in the same facility, with similar hours, it's rare for them to share two uninterrupted days of off-time with one another... just when it seems this day can't get any better. Mio grins from Selene's cleavage, giving her another tight squeeze. "So, what's the plan, Miss 'Head Researcher'?" she inquires with a slight smirk, relishing in the evitable blush it brings to Selene's usually cream-pale cheeks. She's still not used to her promotion in the wake of the outbreak. She swiftly recovers, twisting her eyes and lips to one side as she hums and thinks... or feigns doing so. She doesn't use her implant much these days... except in the bedroom, of course. "Mmmmmmhmmmmmhmmmm... You're letting me take charge, Mio? Isn't that a little dangerous?" Selene playfully warns her, but Mio stubbornly shakes her head and leans some more of her weight upon Selene as a warning. "I've had a week of making choices. On my head be it, but I think I'd like you to choose. I even maybe promise to possibly not complain about said choices!" the Android smirks, but she means it. Selene knows, planting her hands on Mio's shoulders and pressing down, asserting some level of authority over her lover, her smile turning lazy and confident. "Wellllll... you're putting on that new limbset I got you. Yes, the one with the 6-inch heels built-in. Ah-ah!~" she interrupts Mio's immediate baulking look. "No complaining, remember?~ We're gunna get dolled up and take a shuttle over to the mainland colony, then hit up MaeWeather's - y'know, the bar with dancers and neon and such." Selene starts, pausing to further gauge Mio's reaction. Still ruminating over those ridiculous heels - those legs are curvy in ways that Mio is still getting used to being shameless about - the Android scrunches her face into a more familiar frown. "MaeWeathers... that didn't narrow it down too well, that sounds like every bar over ther--" "The one where anyone over 7 feet tall gets free entry on weekends." "Oh! O-oh--" "Yaaahuuuuuuh. We have a good time, we stagger back here - maybe with someone big and demanding with an arm over each of our shoulders, or maybe just us two - see how we feel~ - and... well, that's tonight. We'll figure out the rest as we go along, yah?~" Selene beams, looking down at Mio expectantly. The Android purses her lips but then manages a bashful smile. Sounds... messy. In a good way. "Well, it's nearly a third of a plan. It'll do, I guess." Mio chides her lover, who giggles and leans against her a little, shifting the weight back in her favour. Of course, Mio could easily pick her up with a single arm, but that's beside the point. "Hey, I'm not the thinking machine here! Now go get ready and let's be fuckin' drinking machines, yaas!~" Selene insists, and Mio has neither the time nor the inclination to argue it, hurried from the door of their dormitory room and towards the wardrobe. <> <<linkreplace "The heels were surprisingly easy to adjust to.">> <hrt><hr></hrt> The pulsing lights, the thumping music... those were a little more difficult. Having spent so much of her life on edge, alert for threats - it's strange how something as happy as dance music can stir other, unfortunate emotions and feelings. But Selene was there, to hold her hand, to check if she wanted to leave, never pressuring, always understanding. They did not leave - not for a good long while, at least. Mio's pretty sure she even made some new friends after that drinking contest got a little out of hand; explaining to a couple of bemused Rakumo how she's capable of getting drunk was an interesting time, even if much of the data on those events has been recorded... poorly. Jokes were had. Flirtatious advances were thrown around, some missing, some sticking. The skimpiest dresses in their wardrobes were worn, and more than a few wandering eyes and hands alike felt keenly. A couple of numbers were exchanged. But despite a potentially promising lead with the aforementioned Rakumo ladies, Selene and Mio stagger out of MaeWeathers in no one's arms but one another's... it just felt right. A shuttle ride back, during which they could barely stay awake; Selene exhausted from dancing, Mio tipsy beyond belief and low on charge. Barely recollecting the walk of glory from the quiet shuttle bay, up the corridor and back to the Dorms, one nagging concern rams against another as the ladies flump onto their bed, clothing bedraggled, hair a mess. Even Mio's, thanks to those new swivel-joints! Concern one: horny. Concern two: tired. If only they lived somewhere with solutions readily at hand. Mio just about sits up from the bed - Selene not bothering - and opens a cabinet drawer, a few sturdy cans clinking as the motion disrupts them. "Any prefs, Onoaur?" Mio half-slurs, dropping a pet name she's learned in Selene's native tongue. It always makes her smile, so she tries (and fails) to reserve it for intimate moments. She can hear the tired but thrilled grin on Selene's lips in her reply: "Nuh... your turn to choose." Mio's fingers tilt cans, rotate them, checking the label and front of each. Hmm... they forgot to restock on, shall we say, 'lighter' experiences. "... Well, we never did figure out what to do with the rest of the weekend..." Mio trails off, smirking as she hefts a particularly large TentaCan from the pile, the label just barely within Selene's view, causing her eyes to flitter and open wide. "How attached to that dress are you, Selene?" Mio inquires innocently, hooking her finger into the ring-pull. "H-hey, Mio!--" "Because I'd say we have... mm, give or take two minutes until it's attached to the ceiling unless it's put away promptly." Mio continues, the can -crick-ing slightly with the faintest tug of that ring, shrugging her own dress down past one shoulder socket. Selene, suddenly full of energy, rushes to get undressed - first herself, the few patches of her flawless pale skin not already on display soon bared to the world - and then Mio, all but tackling her to subdue and disrobe the giggling Android. Wardrobes sealed. Desks dismissed back into the walls. Room... mostly bare. Selene collapses onto unevenly splayed knees upon the edge of the bed, glaring cutely at Mio, eyes flitting to that can of depravity. "Forgot your lab coat." Mio points out. Selene's eyes widen and shoot to the hook by the door, but Mio is quicker on the draw. -Crk- -SPLURT!- <<linkreplace "Unleash the Mini-Hive!">> The Mini-Hive is TentaCo's latest and greatest. Thoroughly tested, heavily marketed, massively successful. This XL version refers to a number of things: lifespan, aggression, size. So it is that the can all but explodes out of Mio's outstretched hand, biomass shooting up, down, all around, twisting and forming thick, ropey tentacles bristling with pulsing veins that waste no time in coiling around the two bed-bound beauties. Selene barely has time to grumble 'My coat!!' before she's on her back, arms tightly bundled above her head, Mio planted atop of her chest to chest, clit to clit, startled and thrilled all at once. It's like a flashback to when they first met! How romantic. Sort of. Mio gives Selene a smug look from above her, even with the newly grown Hive yanking her arms back so firmly behind her back that a few minor amber-toned pressure warnings dash across her vision. Entrapment complete, the Hive calms down. Explores. Coils more deliciously exposed flesh, claiming it, covering it. Especially both women's necks... oh, that's tight. It isn't fucking them yet, but the anticipation is building. The humidity is climbing. Sweat and thin slime glisten against their skin. Legs, tied to legs. The tentacle tied around Mio's neck rests its bloated tip against her cheek, squishing it - earning a huffed giggle from Selene as Mio falters slightly, gauging its girth up close. "Tsk. We really need to work on the concept of-- i-impulsiveness!-- Ms. Decision Maker!!" Selene gasps, her quip falling to pieces as she feels something slither between her legs. Mio doesn't even get the chance to respond - spittle sprays from her shocked-wide lips as the Hive spears a tentacle into her body, Selene following suit a split second later. The Elf may have a point, but Mio is finding it hard to consider it as the tentacle stretching her slit wide begins to pound her with incredible speed, the dummy-cored Hive insistent on making every last second of its existence count. All the ladies have to do is lie there and take it... and take it, and take it. Ass. Mouth. Tentacles that slither across their bodies in a strange preview of the undulating movements that dive into their bodies moments later, the pleasant haze of alcohol swept away and replaced with the heady heights of rampant slamfucking. Suckling lips stretched to their limits but no further beyond that. The kind of assfucking that'll leave one walking funny for days - even with titanium hips. Heavy, thick loads blasted with pressure-washer force into every available hole, dumped out unceremoniously and swiftly replaced with another. How many people was this specific model rated for again?... It was two, right? Ah, hells, it might've been four. Oh well~. Mio finds her lips suddenly vacated when the tentacle buried down her throat slips back, twitches, and unloads against her face in three long, heavy deluges of off-purple seed, landing on her outstretched tongue, glueing an eye shut... getting on and beneath the layered plates of her fringe. Then her lips are occupied once more, this time by Selene's own - sharing the bounty, tongues swirling, heads tilting, giggles shared and devoured. Strings link the girl's lips as they part, eyes hang heavy and hazy... But then Selene blinks, a dawning realization on her face even with her implant turned all the way up. "Hey, Mio... did we lock the door?" "... Oh, bugger-GLRK!~" <hrt><hr></hrt> <<include "MERCANOID Good Ending Epilogue">> <</linkreplace>> <</linkreplace>> <>

<> Epilogue. <<linkreplace "The TAP.">> Business in the sector grew as TentaCo expanded, and the TAP is busier than ever. It still has plenty of time to think about things, of course.

Given the core's attitude, he was quickly reassigned as Buildborn and asked: what would you like to do? Mr. Pod had never been asked such a question before, and it took him a while to figure things out. He decided he'd quite like to be a flowerbed, and so, that was arranged. He now lives on the mainland colony of Vi-16, right in the center of a massive park, covered in blooms all year round. The concept is unfamiliar to him, but he's fairly sure he's happy. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Nova.">> Nova continues to push for the liberation of Buildborn, no matter what form they might take or what origin they may stem from.

She would have helped Mio regardless, of course. Her and her sisters. But when she received the Android's message, something sparked deep within her memory banks from a long, long time ago. A familiar name, Mio... it couldn't be, surely? She likes to think that maybe it is. After all: this universe is a strange and wondrous place. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Ziajol.">> The M-Units were not kind to Ziajol, but neither could they be as cruel.

Such a shame. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "The M-Units.">> The vast majority of the M-Units decided to go and live with Nova, who welcomed them with open arms. Not all of them went, and not all of them stayed; but plenty remain at the cabaret club, as bouncers, waitstaff, dancers and escorts, never forced to do anything they don't want to, always paid well.

She still heavily favours that original drone body, albeit heavily upgraded - but they say variety is the spice of life... especially considering that Ervina's hips greatly exceed the pressure rating of half her available frames! <<else>> B4B3 decided to join Nova's club, getting installed into the mainframe. She delights in choosing new holographic bodies for herself and has learned to split her attention into multiple places at once: maintaining her chipper and helpful attitude when dealing with up to a dozen customers and staff at any given time.

It's a job she can see herself doing until the day she dies, knowing that she's sowing the seeds of so much life. She keeps in touch with Mio, effectively pen pals.

The search continues as their respective two-week notices count down. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_ENDING isnot "MERCANOID Good Ending Blankenship">> <<if $Blankenship_Safe>> <<linkreplace "Blankenship.">> Professor Blankenship eventually got to conduct her survey of Vi-16's surface. To her delight - but not her surprise - her theories regarding the moon's ancient habitation were proven correct. In so proving this theory, she also uncovered the existence of a civilization that may have predated even the Imps and Neuvo, but now she finds herself fighting against the suppression of this information by a particularly miffed Imp. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_ENDING isnot "MERCANOID Good Ending Jii'Kii">> <<if $Jiikii_Safe>> <<linkreplace "Jii'Kii.">> Jii'Kii eventually got off that damned, desolate rock and back to work. Her backside was put to good use filling the backlog that had rapidly grown in her absence, but she was able to squeeze the TentaCo money for a serious windfall due to being caught in the outbreak. She's planning on using the money to independently finance an erotic action-horror film with herself in the starring role. Will 'SPUNK REIGN' be a success? Only time will tell. Jii'Kii has already made two journalists cry during interviews about the film. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_ENDING isnot "MERCANOID Good Ending Meh">> <<if $Player_Slammia_Experience is 1>> <<linkreplace "Meh.">> <<if $Meh_Safe isnot 1>> Meh was eventually found by the Cleaners, with Mio unable to convince the belligerent snake to behave for them. The confrontation was tense, but cooler heads prevailed. Meh's sentience was obvious, and she was not harmed - but remains at the facility, undergoing a number of tests designed to reduce her aggressive drive. Whilst grumpy about them, she's nonetheless agreed to these tests... but is planning on making one particularly cute Researcher disappear for a few days inside her spacious room. <<else>> With Meh's origins fully understood, Ru'Drexi and Powder welcomed her with open arms... even if the gesture was not immediately returned. But Meh began to learn about the people she was created from: of Jelli, of Helzent, and of their shared progenitor. She decided she quite enjoyed learning and ended up attending a university. She's changed quite a bit since the day she met Mio: she's still a gigantic slime girl snake who could competently poison an entire town with minimal effort, but she's more reserved now, overwhelmed by the positive attention she gets from her peers at her new home. Though that hasn't stopped her from getting into trouble with the crusty old dean after that incident where she spiked the punch with poison from her fangs. The cool girls made her do it, she swears. <</if>> <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_ENDING isnot "MERCANOID Good Ending Ruzi">> <<if $Ruzi_Safe>> <<linkreplace "Ruzi.">> Despite working for a company that primarily creates tentacular sex toys, Ruzi never really considered it much more than a job - not a passion by any means. However, her treatment at the many hands of the Grappler left her with plentiful inspiration for her smut writing. After achieving overwhelming success with her next few submissions, the well of inspiration began to run dry... Hence a successful application to become a product tester. In truth, she isn't the best at it - she's largely too fucked stupid by day's end to give any useful feedback - but one of the higher-ups thinks she looks cute with her eyes crossed and rolled back. Thankfully, she usually retains enough brain cells to bang out another new piece of sizzling smut before the next mindblowing experience. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_ENDING isnot "MERCANOID Good Ending Flakk">> <<if $Flakk_Safe>> <<linkreplace "Flakk.">> After reflecting on her experience, Flakk found herself fairly fascinated with Mimics. Whenever she has a spare moment from her mechanic work on the facility, she's tinkering with byproduct concepts regarding the space-bending monsters, having since developed a revolutionary new type of physical storage device. Granted, it's one that comes with a proviso that it might temporarily eat you, but where else are you going to find a bottomless purse? <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<if $MERCA_ENDING isnot "MERCANOID Good Ending Iziria">> <<if $Iziria_Safe>> <<linkreplace "Iziria.">> Iziria is still making her way through all of the paperwork the incident generated, ensuring that every last person in the facility is fairly compensated with TentaCo's coffers - not to mention spearheading the stricter sentience detection regulations. While many staff of the facility still find her intimidating, she's doing a better job of dispelling this perception; she's even moved her office out from behind Checkpoint B. TentaCo continues to inquire about her providing samples of Beezlebuu's unique hell-born biology for potential product development, but Iziria refuses to provide them unless someone can pass her five hedonistic trials of perversion. So far, no one has gotten past trial three, with the recovery time measured in weeks, not days. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <</if>> <<linkreplace "The Symbiode's Creator.">> The creator of the Symbiode, a Drow named Jozath, was severely reprimanded for her reckless behaviour during the outbreak. However, she was spared a complete firing due to the promise shown in the design. She's now working through a strict series of regulatory tests to determine the further viability of the Monster, as well as figuring out a way to reverse the symbiosis without harming either party. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "The Travesty.">> The Travesty was found trying - and failing - to put itself back together again. What little viable biomass survived was gathered up, reconstituted, and kept under careful observation. He was, after all, sentient after Mimi's modifications. A military contract never meant to see the light of day, rehabilitation of the possessive, grand-minded brute is slow going. He seems to show increased affection for one Researcher in particular, however, which has helped his progress greatly. TentaCo hopes that he will eventually become fit for release, albeit in a greatly diminished form. <hrt><hr></hrt> <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "And finally, Mimi.">> "It's... awfully complicated." Mimi remarks with a purse of her lips, twisted to one side. The array of information on the screens before her is difficult to comprehend; but not impossible. Every TentaCo research and production facility, product testing results, reviews, feedback, sales data... Things moved fast after the incident. Mio helped vouch for Mimi, even if she didn't fully understand her motivations or origin. She needn't have worried - even before the incident, TentaCo had a strict policy on respecting unexpected sentience emergence, but Mimi's creator had been... paranoid. In her, she saw an echo of the daughter she once had, and that clouded her judgement. Sheltered the girl. Kept her a secret. Without meaning to, she blinkered the girl's perception of the world, which led directly to her flimsy rationale behind the outbreak... But her actions, in the end, showed her potential. At least, in the eyes of the CEO; a mysterious but philanthropic woman known only by the mononym 'Ali'. Mimi turns to face her now, aboard her private vessel. It's a craft of considerable size, but then Ali is a woman of equally impressive mass. They say she stems from the Precedes of Terra, a survivor of the Ends, perhaps the single oldest person from that planet alive today... certainly no longer - what were they called again? 'Human'? She prefers the dark, the massive bridge lit only by the screens that run across every inch of the curved dome surface of the room. It keeps her hidden in shadow, even with her size, her presence betrayed only by her long, coiling lower body... and the faint glow of her eyes behind gigantic, gleaming spectacles. But just enough light is cast upon her face to show her expression. Her smile is full of warmth. Of pride for the brightest child of the Hive - not that Ali picks favourites. She leans down from the towering central seat of the bridge, her body seemingly infinite in length - a massive torso, six slender arms always busy with something or other, a face seemingly hewn from smooth cobalt with springy, bouncy hair-tacles akin to the snakes of a Medusa, her lower body one massive, scaled tentacle that seems to run throughout the entirety of the ship. Crossing her primary pair of arms with great care before Mimi - who stands stoic, not scared of her at all - Ali lowers her head down, chin upon her arms, speaking ever so gently. After all, the merest utterance could bowl the poor girl over! "It is. It's very complicated. But you'd be surprised at how... second-nature, it all becomes. Besides... you're a smart girl. And you have plenty of time to figure things out; if, of course, you accept." Ali says, her voice layered many times, a chorus of countless voices that came before her long, long life. Mimi crosses her arms, weight shifted onto one hip, her own tentacular hair twitching as she ponders. While she maintains elements of her auburn-haired Elven disguise, she's more true to her real self these days, her outfit hewn from her own shapeshifting flesh. A flowing coat, a tight black crop top, shorts and leggings. "What happens if I can't handle it?" she asks, again. Ali smiles, patient as ever. "Then you can quit. That's a luxury I didn't really have, way back when. But times have changed. I think I've done a pretty good job keeping the Hive at large alive, healthy... and, for the first time in a long time, accepted. Useful. But the old always gives way to the new, eventually." she explains with her whispering chorus, slowly raising one hand to gently poke at Mimi's chest with a fingertip that dwarfs her in size. "And if I was a gambling girl, I'd bet on you. No pressure, though." she concludes, withdrawing the finger and settling back down, resting comfortably on her impressive chest and those crossed arms. Mimi ponders for a moment more. Casts her wild eyes on the massive monitor banks that line the entire chamber. A full turn on her feet before her eyes fall back on the gargantuan CEO of TentaCo, without a hint of coercion in her pale, glowing eyes... "... Ok. Ok! When do I start?" <hrt><hr></hrt> Thank you for playing MERCANOID and achieving the 'Good' ending.

<<type 55ms skipkey "Control">> hey there. thanks for playing MERCANOID. yeah, even if i'm affecting a no-caps low effort typing style to better connect to you here, i'm still gunna capitalize it. is it an acronym? does it stand for something? it is, and it did, but would you believe it? i lost the notes on that. that sort of thing happens when a 2 month game turns into a 19 month one. and your motivation drops, stops and starts repeatedly throughout it. honestly, i'd estimate about 60% of the work got done in the last month before release: assuming this comes out when I intended it to. june 30th, incidentally. did i make it? doesn't really matter, but it'd be neat if i did. you know how spacebar skipped the text like this in the intro? not this time. i changed the button, mwuhahaha. anyway. back to the point. if there is one. like i said, thanks for playing MERCANOID. thanks for playing it enough to get the good ending, and thanks for being curious enough to find this hidden message. maybe you just opened the game up in Twine - that gets a capital T out of respect - or maybe you genuinely found it, in which case, i like you more than the first guy. i've been doing this for nearly a decade now. that feels weird. i've improved, both in writing and in capability of design and implementation. (there might be some spelling mistakes here: don't care, lol. back on track; been doing this for a while, but... so rarely ever put anything out. i get an idea, i run with it, it takes me so far before i burn out and i tell myself i'll get back to it and maybe i plink at it for an hour here and there but the project eventually dies, and-- well. not this time, i guess. at the time of writing, i've just finished the good ending, with the default choice of selene. i like selene. she was one of the first characters i cooked up for this game, which was originally meant to be 2 trash mobs and 3 bosses. before things... expanded, in scope. i wanted to show off as much as i can, see. my combat system, the little minigames - between you and me, i think lockpicking needs a new idea, but i'm very proud of the gathering interface. mining makes brain go brrr happy. my writing, of course. hopefully you liked it. if it ever made you uncomfortable, i apologize profusely. if it turned you into a blushing mess: aw, cutie. i kinda had a big idea for a secret room where you could meet my persona, ask some questions, even get into a secret boss fight where we both control Mio for our respective turns, you and me. maybe next time. MERCANOID's consumed a surprising amount of my life, and i want very much to be finished with it. but i do hope you enjoyed it. have you figured out the skip button yet, or are you enjoying this reading pace? ha. ha. ha. i've got a lot of ideas for more games. ones that came before this, ones that've come and gone since. at least i write them down, now. the ones that remain in my head for a week or more, i tend to consider worthy of adding to the pile of potential projects. the next one - if it's the size of MERCANOID, or smaller - should hopefully take a lot less time. i wonder how many people will play this. i wonder how many people will enjoy it. if you were one of them - which, statistically, you probably are if you got this far - then you get one more extra 'thank you'. this silly little game that went from 'do androids have souls' to 'sure, who cares, now what do we do when figures of authority refuse to accept that', but i think it serves as a better introduction to my Glowing World for it. next up: something in the past, or rather, the present. i think. this era would be 'The Glowing Stars', with the past being 'The Precedes World' and the present being 'The Glowing World.' this is the sort of thing that happens when you think making all of esoteric horny concepts fit into one universe is a good idea. maybe it was. time might tell. but i've taken enough of your time. i do mean it. thank you for playing MERCANOID. i hope you enjoy what comes next. ♥ oh, and it was ctrl to skip. <<link "Backtrack a bit." $MERCA_ENDING>><</link>> <</type>>

Mio regards the button with a slightly raised brow, then extends a single metal digit to press it in. It does so smoothly, but gives her a tiny static shock. She's well insulated of course, but... "NGH?!--" Lost 5 Focus! She can't explain it, but she suddenly finds her hips jutting forwards, causing her to stagger and plant a hand against the wall to stop herself from falling. With wide eyes, she takes a moment to try and process what just happened. The tiniest spark, and something... flared. Below. All over her new torso, but especially between the legs. "B-B4B3, tell me you got a reading on that?" Mio speaks through clenched teeth, now hyper-aware of the severe oversensitivity of this body. B4B3 doesn't answer immediately, but she can feel the support AI rushing through reports and files. "Yeah, uh, yeah!! I did. Jeez. I think I figured out why this body was 50% off, Mio! It's got a whole bunch of queued commands still saved and stuck. Looks like I can just cancel and play the most recent one... oughta clear it out and get you back to normal! Ready?" B4B3 asks, and Mio gives a mental 'aff'. Then her eyes flare brightly as her hips jerk again, this time far more violently, a spike of... pleasure?! Is this what that is!?-- ripping down her reinforced spine, sending her to her knees against the wall with a warbling little cry of surprise and- yup, pleasure. Strange contractions ripple through her body, though they fade in diminishing pulses, leaving the Synthetic clinging to the wall like an anchor. Regained 5 Focus! "There we go! Jeez, all they had to do was a little software maintenance on this baby! Let's see, the queued command was... t-two hundred and forty-seven instances of 'climax_simulation'. Um-- eheh, are you feeling better, Mio?" B4B3 asks sheepishly as Mio stands back up, the Android turning to lean against the wall with a huff. Instead of answering right away, she looks down at herself with a frown, craning her neck a little to gaze past her ample chest to witness her legs quivering yet still. "Just... dandy." she grumbles. To be fair, she no longer feels as though a slight breeze might cause- well, precisely that kind of reaction again. But now it's clear that this body was made for a very specific purpose... ... And here she is, walking into a facility full of sex Monsters. Great. "B4B3, I might... need to take care of this a few times." Mio admits with a bashful sigh. Oh! That's a new emotion. She hates it. B4B3 mentally nods and indicates the Breaching Pod by highlighting it on Mio's HUD. Thankfully, 'Mr Pod' has shut down now that his mission is complete. He can run the repair suite in his 'sleep'. "Aw, no problem Mio, no judgey!! It's just, y'know, the mental equivalent of a repair job! If you get damaged out there - be it your physical 'hit points' or your mental 'focus', just head back here and get repaired at Mr. Pod." B4B3 explains, keeping her tone chipper. Mio sighs, then nods, pushing away from the wall, the door to the west - exiting north - now unlocked but still closed. Good. The room should stay secure... <<link "Right. Take two..."

<div align='center' style='font-size: 130%;'>@@.WarningIntro;WARNING!

Let's run through what you can do in a fight. Lets have you fight something appropriate, like... this guy!" B4B3 echoes all around her. A flash of light heralds the sudden arrival of a spherical creature with a mass of thick tentacles undulating beneath it, chubby at the base and thin at the ends, its body dominated by a single, expressive eye. It's... kind of cute and non-threatening, honestly. <div align='center' style='font-size: 150%;'>It won't know what hit it...

<<set $Player_glow to $Player_glow_max>>Mio stows her $Player_weapon_main with a raised brow. The TentaBuddy!... immediately leaps the short distance between them and tangles Mio up! She flails as she hits the 'ground', squirming and swearing as the thing!... cuddles her. Nothing more than that, thankfully. Mio quickly finds her arms pinned to sides, feeling the sensation of slimy hugging keenly, shuddering as the Monster coos and worbles wordlessly and affectionately. "B4B3 you little!-- Get it off me!!" Mio huffs, and then blinks as her vision suddenly shifts from her own mind and back to the Storage Module... the Android on her back, very much not caught in the embrace of a tentacle Monster. B4B3 giggles in her head as Mio huffs and stands up, arms crossed in irritation. "Just trying to keep you on your toes! Most encounters won't be quite as friendly as that little guy was. You'll have your full suite of combat options out in the field for real, so make sure to experiment! Uh, except with Surrender, maybe. You should know what thaaat does now~."

<> Mio spends some time getting to grips with the devilishly difficult shooter game, a vertical scroller from bottom to top. She isn't surprised to see that the worker responsible for sneaking it onto this terminal doesn't have particularly high scores, given its difficulty. She swiftly gets the hang of it, but decides to intentionally dampen her processing speeds a little to make things fair. Time passes surprisingly quickly. After a couple of 'just one more rounds', Mio walks away with a new high score and a smug look on her face. <<if $Player_focus > ($Player_focus_max * 0.7)>> <<else>> <<set $Player_focus to ($Player_focus_max * 0.7)>><<set $Player_focus to Math.round($Player_focus)>><<updatemeter 'player_focus_bar' `$Player_focus / $Player_focus_max`>> Focus was restored to <<= $Player_focus>>! <</if>> <<set $Weather_Duration to 0>> <<link "Fun.

The simple name has a simple origin: things heavy in radiation glow brightly, thus, Glow. Overcoming the catastrophic effects of radiation exposure to an organic body or synthetic hardware is one of the Galaxy's great filters. Earth's extinct 'Humans' were particularly vulnerable to the stuff, but Terra's Varied Life greatly benefit from even limited exposure to Glow, regenerating wounds and using it to power their technology. Most of the Galaxy's spacefaring species are either immune to Glow or benefit from it - or, at the very least, do not suffer severe effects from anything but the highest of concentrated doses. There are exceptions, however, and these Species must tread carefully in a Galaxy dominated by such power sources, often limiting their reach in the Galaxy. Thankfully, treatments for Glow exposure are an ever-evolving and expanding field for these Species. <<include "Codex Return">><>

Softcase is best defined as utilizing semi-solid or otherwise non-rigid solid materials in its construction, and commonly (but not always) mimics organic appearances. It is most commonly used in cosmetic augmentations, replacement prosthetics for civilian use, and in Androids, Gynoids and other such organic-cybernetic relations models. Hardcase is the opposite, as one might expect. Hardened alloys or other such rigid materials, often armoured for use in industries such as construction, scouting and combat. While Hardcase designs tend to favour functionality over aesthetics, there are a number of Hardcase augmentations and prosthetics that mimic organic styles, often via the application of Softcase materials layered atop the Hardcase - sometimes referred to as Fusecase. <<include "Codex Return">><>
