Re: The Facility: Site B

Jacen Burke

Jacen groaned as he opened his eyes. The young scientist lifted his head up off his desk. He glanced at his clock on the desk. "Must have fell asleep again." He stood up from his chair and stretched his arms. He glanced around his quarters, the small room not much to speak of. A bed and a desk, a few small personal items that he brought with him when he moved.

Jacen headed for the bathroom, needing to shower before his shift today.

Re: The Facility: Site B

Alisha Hendricks

The first night in the facility was far too short. Alisha groaned as the buzzer woke her. She was living in a similar tiny quarter as most of the lower ranked scientists, without an shower. Therefore she had to use the community shower. With sleepy eyes she took her towel and other stuff and scuffled out of her room.

She met somebody in the corridor, but she was still too sleepy to really notice who it was. "morning!" she said, and stumbled into the shower.

The holo of the sun morning  wakes up or impacts in her eyes, doing that her reactions is to cover again with the sheets of the bed, doing that she grunts with the abruptly light of the holo-sun followed of some words that sounds like this

5 minutes more, mom...

But suddenly she opens her eyes remembering her arrive to the Facility Side B the day before..., she looks the alarm clock, discovering that she has time to wake up and take a quickly shower, she goes out of her bed, taking some clothes and going to the community showers...

Re: The Facility: Site B

It had been four days since Kevin had awoken in the sterile white room availed of all possessions, clothing and explanations. In lack of such things he had taken to attempting to provide them himself. Obviously clothing and possessions were proving a touch difficult, but the explanations side was something he could have a good crack at.

The last thing he could remember was eagerly signing his name on the induction form given to him when he had arrived at the Faculty. Come to think of it, it was quite odd that nobody seemed to have any other name for the place, not even the staff he had spoken to. That was beside the point however. Given how he had somehow blacked out just as he signed the form, he came to the conclusion that a chunk of his memory was missing and that either there had been some cock up at the admin department, sending him to the wrong place or this was some kind of on-the-job initiation. Given how he had already been here four days and there was clearly a false mirror over there, that struck out the mistake option, so this was clearly an initiation.

With this confirmation firmly concluded, Kevin continued his work.

While he had been here, they had been sending him food via a small hatch in the wall, some of which he had set aside to write with. It was crude and likely unsanitary but sachet ketchup was rubbish anyway and it wouldn't make a good show to the examiners if he just sat on his arse all day. As such, he had been making note of all the events leading up to this moment in an attempt to fill in the blank he was experiencing. The reasoning behind this activity being the assumption that they wouldn't wipe his memory for nothing, so clearly the answer must be to break through this block and recall some piece of information given to him before he entered the room. Once he gave them that, surely they would let him out and finally put some pants back on.

Right?

Re: The Facility: Site B

Name: Jennifer (alias Jenny) McCloud

After her shower meeting some girls knowns like Alisha or others that she doesn´t know their names, she gave her body a pleasant moment with her own masturbation of the morning, and going to her room to dress me...

After putting some comfortables clothes, she goes to her work in the Department Zone called "D-Cum Latex" to continue her working process between the D-Cum and the latex, creating a polymer that stabilize the union of these two things...

But after several tries, she doesn´t get satisfactory results, against the fails in her work, getting more pressure of above her...

Re: The Facility: Site B

Everyone in here was new to Sophia, she met some co-workers, but didn't recognize any of them. After showering she returned to her room and prepared to work. Appearently she was assigned to a test subject named Kevin (there was no surname on the file). After skimming through it, she realized that there was barely any information inside. How should that suppose to work? She had a role of a beholder, but couldn't really interact with this Kevin throughout his transformation. She wasn't even allowed to know what exactly they were doing with him. Maybe this facility wasn't the right choice after all.

*sigh* "Well, we will see. Maybe it'll get better gradually." she thought. "'7:30, time to get a breakfast." She left her room and went to the canteen.

Re: The Facility: Site B

Jacen walked in to the showers and looked around. A few other scientists were in there as well. He would give them a nod before talking a stall for himself. Once he was showered he headed back to his quarters to get dresses for his shift.
     He walked into the lab that he had been assigned  to. He flicked on the lights on his side of the room and walked over to a desk that had some paperwork sitting on it. He opened the file to see who was going to be his first test subject.

Re: The Facility: Site B

Name: Jennifer (alias Jenny) McCloud

After some failed tries in the mix of the two compounds (latex and D-Cum), without advertising it, Jennifer goes sleep in the work while she took some simple compounds without names in the bottle, when she falls asleep, her hand throw some of the unidentified compounds to the failed mix with the latex and the D-Cum...

Without advertising it, it was the compound that was missing for the reaction to work, the reaction takes a deeply red color, and reacts violently with the fusing of the three compounds, all this happened while Jennifer continues sleeping...

While the time passes, the compound mixed starts to get out of the experiment bottle, touching the arm of Jennifer while she was alone in the lab...

Doing that the deeply red mixed formula is sucking through her skin, doing that it appears some deeply red zones in her arm and it advances...

While her dreams changes from normal to aroused, pleasants and enjoyable dreams with an erotic part...

Re: The Facility: Site B

The Administration

     She was watching as Jennifer worked in her lab. The female scientist had been a disappointment thus far and now her every move was being scrutinized.
    The administrator watched as Jennifer mixed some unmarked ingredients together and then dosed off waiting for an interaction to happen. Her eyes widened as she watched the interaction happen on the security cameras display.
    "Interesting." She said to herself as she watched the substance in the bottle expand out of the container. She started to grin when she saw it touch Jennifer's arm. She reached over and pushed a button that would open communication with security. "Security to lab 43, contamination protocol."

Within moments a security team encased in hazmat suits would arrive at the lab. They were quick about their work, grabbing Jennifer and putting a bag over her head as two of them dragged her out of the lab and to her new cell. A third collected the substance and properly contained it.

Jennifer would now find herself in a test subjects cell, no longer a scientist but a subject.

Re: The Facility: Site B

¿Jenny or whoever is she?

The only thing that she remembers after she came into the lab, was that she slept and some strange, aroused, pleasants, awesome and pleasures dreams assaults her brain doing that she almost forgot all the feeling of the transportation that the Decontamination team gave her...

Taking off all the clothes that she wore before, including her ID card, but they only keep herself the panties that she wore that day, after the decontamination shower that she received (without noticing that), they throw her to an empty cell, she is not longer a scientific, she is now a test subject...

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01423/mental-health_1423725i.jpg

While in her dreams, she was dreaming with only a color "red" and a ¿mouth or a vagina or a pussy? talking to her in a unidentified language that she only understands some isolated words like...,

Hive..., Nest..., Brood..., Infect..., join us..., meet us..., we are your family now...

While her soaked panties merges with the slim red cape of the unidentified element mixed that she did before that all are extended in all her naked body in almost 10 minutes, doing that her legs changes also with her soaked panties changing also it into a different red net microscope around her two legs....

And the words repeats constantly in her changing and reformatting brain..., while in all her naked body, all the red spots appears more giants in others unknown zones of her naked body...

---------------------------------------------------------

After some days of constants words in the white cell alone, all her naked body is all almost red, she keeps her face intact, eyes, nose and mouth a little different, her breasts were grown from a B cup to a JJ Cups

She opens her eyes after 6 days unconscious, her brain is completed reformatted and her desires are changed, she has the mission of rejoin with them, first escape of this empty space, after find them and rejoin with them (her new family)...

Also she senses her new family calling her with another different name unidentified that she doesn´t recognize...

Re: The Facility: Site B

It was around 8 o'clock when things got worrying for Kevin, not that he knew what time it was. After all, locked in a windowless room with no clocks didn't give much clue as to the passage of time.

Things began when food arrived, as normal, along with it's little sachet of ketchup. Not really feeling hungry right now an with a little theory on his mind, Kevin immediately opened it so as to set about noting it down on the wall, along with his other thoughts. When a sticky white fluid came out instead of the normal red, spraying onto his chest, he had only the thought; "Buggers sent me mayo. I can't write with mayo!". Well, alright, that wasn't entirely correct. He also swore at himself for squirting his sauce on himself with no way of wiping it off.

It was around that time he began to feel nauseous as the first signs of change began.

OOC: So, this is my first time doing an RP on here, so what are the established guidelines as far as TFs go? Do we just go ahead and do it? Does the GM have some input to make? I honestly don't know.

Re: The Facility: Site B

Dawn

Dawn awoke with a start.  The last several days had been a jumbled mess and a blur.  She was preparing some snacks for some sort of party her boyfriend was hosting when the police busted in shouting and pointing guns at everyone.  It didn't make any sense.  It made even less sense when the interrogators starting demanding to know about bombs and threats.  They finally let her have some tea to calm down.  There must have been drugs in that tea because She quickly lost consciousness and heard someone laughing about poetic justice.

Two days ago she had a woken in a blank white room with no clothes.  She occasionally hear noises, voices, once she thought she heard be Jason yelling.  Dawn sat in the edge of the hoping for something, anything, different to happen today.
++++
Jason

Jason had been spewing the same tired antiestablishment rhetoric since he had be picked up.  Flatly refusing to answer questions and hurling random insults and promises of revenge and 'getting even'.  Of course even those had given away far more information than Jason realized.  Their goal had been to keep talking no matter what.  If they could get him to answer their questions in the process all the better.  They had so far changed Jason's right leg into a giant cock.  It had certainly kept him spewing a lot obscenities for quite some time.

His day started like the previous few, with pounding on the walls demanding to be let free.  Promising his brothers in arms would not stand for this much longer.  How he would gladly die to see those in power fall.   The disembodied voice that been his only contact with the outside world cams on, "I see you're still as determined to be a martyr for your cause.  But what about your sweet innocent Dawn? Hmmm.  Are you willing to see her pay for your transgressions?"

Re: The Facility: Site B

Christy

Christy yawned and rolled out of her cot, stretching her back.  She wasn't quite used to the hard white interior of the Facility, compared to her relatively cushy student apartment.  She groaned as she saw her jumbled mess of hair and baggy eyes in the mirror, a clear sign to everyone that she wasn't sleeping well.  She dressed herself, grabbed a mug and filled it with coffee, one of the little creature comforts she still had since transferring to the Facility.  She slipped a lab coat over her white blouse and black skirt, the coat hung to just above her knees, and swished with her legs as she shuffled out of her room to her desk in the lab.

Papers and charts were everywhere, the results of some animal conjoinments she'd been working on lately, possible only with the seemingly endless funds the Facility enjoyed.  She suspected whoever ran the Facility had that huge pile of money purely by skimping in comfort for their scientists, but she didn't raise her voice about it lest she get transferred back to the confines of academia.  She poured over the newest results and sipped her coffee.  The two lab rabbits she'd left overnight looked completely normal, despite the merges she induced rendering them without rear legs, just two rabbits from the waist up on either end.  Their nerves perfectly spliced, and brainwave charts showed strange patterns, mirrored even.  She was trying to prove that their brains were now communicating on a conscious level, but didn't quite have enough evidence yet.  She took a gulp of coffee and leaned back, thinking about how much easier it would be with human trials, but volunteers had yet to show themselves...

Re: The Facility: Site B

Christy

...The hours dragged on as she fussed about her work, interpreting causes and the effects of different blends of transformations.  She'd reached a sticking point in her work.  After analyzing brainwave scan after brainwave scan of her lab animals, she had no way of knowing what her work was doing on a subconscious level to her subjects.  Leaning back again, resting her thumb and forefinger on the bridge of her nose and closing her eyes, she heard a clipboard being dropped on her desk with a soft thud. She snapped to from her break of concentration to see who dropped it there, but teh bustle around the lab revealed no obvious source.  She picked up the clipboard and flipped through the contents, shocked at what they entailed.

In front of her was the face of a human, clinically lined up in front of a ruler, like a mugshot.  The image was captioned with the name 'Dawn' with no other monicker.  Further pages listed more about this Dawn woman than Christy suspected Dawn knew about herself.  Medical records, personal history, blood and tissue sample results, psychoanalytic profile, and more.  The last page in her file was a waiver form, with a small, nervously scribbled signature and a large, red stamp that said

'APPROVED FOR CLINICAL TRIALS'

This was the breakthrough Christy needed: and actual human test subject.  She was shocked that anyone would voluntarily go through such a thing, perhaps the payout from the Facility was rather generous.  She fired an email to her supervisor requesting what to do with her new subject, and received an almost bemused reply informing her that the subject was essentially her property for the duration of the tests, and further warned her not to get too involved with her new test subject, but to remain objective.

Christy couldn't help but grin in anticipation as she sent a message to the cell that Dawn was in, calling her to come forward to Test Station 12...

Re: The Facility: Site B

Dawn

This day had been like the others before, with nothing to break the monotony except the occasional food tray delivered through a chute.  Just as she was considering masturbating, for the tenth time she woke, but never able to bring herself do so for fear of being watched, Some one spoke to her.
She was being told to go somewhere, outside her cell.  That alone was enough to make Dawn smile. 
As Dawn followed the directions through several doors and a short elevator ride, Dawn was also told she was selected to participate in a medical trail.  And if she followed all directions, upon completion she would be considered for release.  This included not talking except to answer questions.

The idea of disobeying hadn't even occurred the shy girl but the promise of release if she cooperated, left her feeling positively giddy as she walked through the door in Test Station 12.
++++
Jason

Jason was forced to watch as Dawn was lead from her cell to an unknown fate.  He tried to fake being uncaring and aloof the whole time.  Despite having chosen Dawn because she was easy to control and asked few questions he had come to care for her.  But no matter how the voice prodded him Jasom could not betray his brothers even for Dawn.  They wouldn't do anything too terrible to her, she was just an innocent caught in something she understand.  Right?

Re: The Facility: Site B

Christy

Christy was practically shaking with excitement as she poured over the roster of applicants.  After calling up Dawn, she'd found that she had been too excited to find a second participant that matched Dawn's measurements.  Things like height, blood type, BMI, and even brainwave patterns were recorded.  Flipping through candidates, she found her match: a young woman named Bailey.  A short woman, barely taller than Dawn at a flat five feet, with a thicker figure and large breasts for her size.  She had a round freckly face and curly ginger hair.  After a quick glance that showed Bailey as having physical qualities within acceptable standards with Dawn, she called the new woman to Test Station 12....

Bailey

Bailey had had it, this was the fourth week she'd been locked in this room godknowswhere being fed godknowswhat, with no word from the outside world, or what she was even supposed to do here.  She could hear the goings on outside, but it didn't sound like a prison, this didn't seem like the kind of place you'd send a peaceful protester anyway, it seemed too...high security and clean.  She'd had to spend a few days in the holding cells with the police before after she protested unsafe dcum cleanups before, and she guessed she'd crossed the line with someone very powerful this time.  At first she was defiant, but as the weeks wore on she realized she was in deeper trouble than she first thought.  Someone wanted to keep her here, but for what?  Nobody acknowledged her anyway...

The sound of an excited woman's voice coming through the intercom in her room sounded like the blare of a half dozen freight trains, compared to the silence she'd been in since her custody.  'Bailey, we'd like you to step outside to accompany this young tech to Test Station 12, we'll explain when you get there, thanks!'  The voice was far to cheerful to mention something like 'Test Station.'  If she'd been protesting a bad spill out in the country, then ending up here...oh gods.  She had to make a break for it, but she had no idea where she was, and the burly tech opening her door was a far superior match to her physically.  She just had to wait for her chance...So she followed behind the guard down pristine white hallways to a large door with a number 12 on it.  The inside was a steel box perforated with thousands of tiny holes, and a white tile floor with several drains.  A faux window constituted one wall, set about halfway up and rising to the ceiling.  She could see a tall figure behind the foggy glass 

Christy

Christy buzzed open the other door to Test Station 12, as Dawn was also led in.  The short woman looked hesitant in her giant glasses and oversized patient gown.  Bailey looked somewhat the opposite, fidgety and high strung. 

'Hello ladies, and thank you for taking part in our study today.  My name is Christy and I'll be leading you through today's exercise.  Now, the first thing I'd like for you two do is disrobe, and place the gowns in the chutes by the doors.  Once that is done, We'll get on with the experiment proper.'

'Experiment?'  The ginger, Bailey, asked.

'Yes, we're researching brainwave activity between two newly conjoined subjects to try and determine what causes the mind-melding some transformees speak of having post conjoinment.'

Both women flinched.  Neither placed their gowns in the chute.  'Well, they melt down anyway' Christy thought as she primed the serum into the aspirators in the walls.  'Now, I'd like you two to embrace each other with one arm over the other's shoulder, like you're posing for a group photo.'

Bailey staunchly did not.  Instead she ran to the door and started pounding on it.  The doors were hermetically sealed, but she had to be right next to Dawn for this to work.  Bailey continued to throw her fit, with Christy trying to calm her down, until the red light on the door came on. 

It was opening.  One of the guards was opening the door!

Christy ran out of her sealed control room to stop this from happening, aerated dcum or not, this was in direct violation of lab safety protocol.  She reached the door to try and stop it.  As the guard opened the door, the short ginger flew with surprising speed with a punch to his groin, knocking him backward into Christy, whom the test subject then pushed into Test Chamber 12 as the door shut behind her.  It was sealed.  The tall black haired woman looked to Dawn as the blue light came on on the doors, indicating that they may not be opened any more, even by outside forces, the dcum was going to be sprayed in within seconds...

Bailey

Having seen an opportunity and freeing herself, Bailey took off down the long, twisting hallways trying to get herself out, only to stumble into an unaware scientist...[one of you guys tongue]

Christy

The air suddenly turned thick, as if the room were now full of pudding.  Christy could feel her clothes start to slide off of her as the serum started to take effect.  It was a strong mix, causing her and Dawn to stumble around as Dawn's gown melted off her shoulders, revealing her large breasts.  Christy could feel a tingle in her body, something crawling through her deep within that gave her this need, this need to be filled like the empty vessel she was.  'It must be the conjoinment reagent', she thought with a hazy mind.  Reacting, more than thinking, she hugged Dawn to her chest from behind, pressing the short woman to her torso as she felt the skin dividing them suddenly vanish, Dawn's body flowing into hers like water through gravel.  She could feel the heat rising from Dawn's body, her own lust brought on by the dcum.  Christy's legs began to shiver and sweat as Dawn's lower half merged into Christy's, widening her hips and thighs.  Dawn's torso seemed to melt into Christy's own, her head resting level between Christy's breasts, Dawn's large pair under their original owner's head, flanking the sides of Christy's stomach. 

'This, this isn't right, this isn't the design I had worked out.'  Christy thought wildy as she felt as if something was pulling it's way up her asscrack.  Dawn's pussy was forcing Christy's in place of their anus.  As hers slid into place, she could feel both her and Dawn's pussies, both dangerously close to orgasm.  There was another, wrenching strain in her groin and chest.  She could feel the skin knot up right above Dawn's pussy, extending forward and thickening wildly into a foot long cock, her own nipples becoming cocks as well.  One final lurch brought the pair to orgasm, as they came from their three cocks and two pussies

Re: The Facility: Site B

Dawn

Dawn was in so far over her head, but was also cowed by the promise of release if she cooperated.  She immediately didn't like this other girl.  Much too rowdy and prone to outbursts.  Dawn certainly didn't look forward to prospect of sharing her life such a person.  She was still stuck in the mental loop of which was worse, trapped in the white room or with this crazy person, right up until the door buzzed and light went blue.

As the air quickly thickened, Dawn coughed and stumbled about looking for a way out.  She whimpered with embarrassment as her gown melted away and then an odd need grew within her, a deep strange kind of loneliness.  When the tall brunette put her arms around Dawn, she snuggled back as it felt strangely right.  After a few seconds, Dawn gasped in panic and tried to pull away remembering that this was a conjoinment experiment.  But was already too late.

Dawn squirmed even as her body heated up and her arousal grew against her wishes.  She watched helplessly as the other woman's breasts seemed to grow on either side of her head.  Only realizing the truth, when she could no longer turn her head.  Nearly screaming as she felt her organs melt joining with the taller woman's.  Her cries, turning to pants of pleasure as her lower body was pulled upward merging into the other woman.  Dawn's anus vanished, yet she could feel her pussy moving pushing against something.  Then suddenly she could feel two of them, two pussies!  Dawn felt as if an orgasm was breaking, but the three things now growing wouldn't let it come yet.   When they ejaculated, Dawn realized the what the things next to her face were.

As the haze of lust fades, Dawn Panics.  "Get me out here.  Please, I'll tell you anything you want!  Just let me go home!"  She shouts starting to cry.

Re: The Facility: Site B

¿Lasex?

The red new figure feminine stands quiet in the empty cell, along the time, her naked body had suffered minor changes like her nipples changed to wetted pussies...

...Including her nose that is disappeared...

She starts to mumble something unidentified while from her nipples-pussies-mouths goes a strange pink and red cloud or smell that intoxicates all the white cell, and it goes under the door of the cell...

The feminine figure stays quiets without open her mouth, until the key of the cell is opening the door, it´s the cell guard (woman) that is confused by a thoughts that got inside of her head with the pink and red smoke..., while she mumbles something like this

They talk to me... i want to submit to Lasex... i am a slut drone... forget all my life... and surrender to the pleasure of the Hive...

The red figure called Lasex opens her hands and hugs the confused woman while more smoke hits and the guard smells that. Lasex helps to the guard to undress of her clothes, and they start to "dance"...

After a big moment, the cell guard female is half sleep while Lasex rocks her naked and red spotted body. Now the cell guard is being dominated by the Hive through Lasex and the door is opened of the cell...

Re: The Facility: Site B

Christy

Christy leaned heavily against the wall, sliding down onto her rear as she let her three new cocks drain themselves, coming slowly down from the orgasm of a lifetime.  Her mind was a haze, slowly clearing as she felt the strangeness of her new body, the cock resting on the ground in front of her, the weight of the breasts below hers, the pussy leaking fluids between her ass cheeks, and...the face that was not there a few moments ago.  The dread set in, the last few...hours?  Minutes?  Just cost her her humanity, the best test subjects she had, gone, her experiment, ruined.  Her body...gone forever.  She started to tear up as she slumped against the wall, the tang of dcum still in the air.  She tried to hold back tears as she felt the head below her, Dawn, was it? begin to cry.   Dawn's head shook her chest as she sobbed.  She surveyed how her limbs felt, they felt the same, she must still have control of them.  She'd be Dawn's caretaker now.

"Get me out of here.  Please, I'll tell you anything you want!  Just let me go home!" Dawn wailed, as Christy knew that wouldn't be the case.  This wasn't the conjoinment she wanted, their body types weren't with the acceptable bounds of each other's, if they were, then there might be a way she could revert her alchemical mixture but...now there were too many uncertainties.

"It's  going to be okay" She lied, "we'll come up with something" She brushed through the girl's hair as she stood up, the new unusual weight on her front upsetting her balance.  She stepped out of the chamber, trying to look strong in the face of the bruised security guard, the other scientists looking on in shock

Re: The Facility: Site B

Dawn

Dawn's sobs quieted as the other, the scientist comforted her.  The promise to find a way to 'fix' this was especially helpful and hopeful if vague.  The way she brushed Dawn's hair reminded her of her long gone parents.

Dawn gasped as she felt the body she was a part of move without her willing it to move.  The other woman appeared to be largely in control of the body.  But then the way the other people were looking at her, like she was a monster or an object of pity, made Dawn blush and try to hide herself.  Only for the submissive woman to realize how little control she had left.  When Dawn tried to move her hands to cover her face, she felt... something move, but it didn't feel like arms and nothing came blocking her face.  This made Dawn try harder to move.  After a few seconds Dawn understood she was causing her breasts to wiggle and that was it.  But what confused her was she could swear she felt four of them wiggle when she tried to move.
