You enjoyed the last job you had with genetics, so you decide to open up the e-mail. They probably have security measures in place to keep you at least sorta out of harm’s way.

SUBJECT: Basic job, need someone to do some rounds feeding specimens. Bring a non-lethal weapon

CONTENTS: Not much to say really, we’re short on expendables so we need someone to come down and help feed some of the specimens today. Bring non-lethal weaponry in case of accidents, we will not be providing any. Meet my sister in her office for the details.

- Samuel Portentio

Seems simple enough you think to yourself. The suit’s fully restructured, and the fluid tank is filled up again. You slide into it with the new voice commands and it hugs you comfortably. You’ve come to expect the surge of excitement the suit gives you when you put it on (+Turned on). The paralyzer’s recharged as well, so you clip that onto your belt. You wanted new samples to work with, so you bring a lab coat and come vials along.

Pushing your glasses onto your nose, you walk out of your office and back towards genetics once more. You walk past Samuel’s office, but he doesn’t seem to be inside. The door is ajar though. Sabrina’s is right next to it, and you give a short knock. After a moment, the honeyed voice of Sabrina pipes up from inside. “Come in!”

You open the door and step inside to find Sabrina typing away at her computer. You stand there awkwardly for a moment, before clearing your throat “Hrm-hrrm!” She lifts her head and smiles when she sees you. “Heey! It’s you again! Megan, wasn’t it? I’m glad it’s you, I heard about you from my brother. You gave him quite a scare when you dragged that spider right up to his door. He’s arachnophobic, which is mostly why he sent out a request for someone else to catch the specimen. I like the get-up, looks good on you.”

You wring your hands together slightly, just being in her presence makes you nervous for some reason. Even though she’s being so friendly. “Oh.. I uhh, didn’t know that. Could you apologize to him for me? He wasn’t in his office.”

“It’s no trouble, sweetie. I know you can hold your own against some larger creatures, which is perfect. We have a few sets of specimens that need feeding. I’ll give you a checklist and some research notes on the species you’ll be encountering today depending on which you pick.

A. Small specimens. (Cat-Dog sized. Less reward, less reputation gain. Easiest)

B. Medium Sized Specimens. (Large Dog-Human Sized. Normal reward, normal reputation gain.)

C. Large specimens. (Larger than humans. Bonus rewards, more rep gain. Difficulty up)

You decide to go with the larger specimens. You can take it, you’re a big girl. “I’ll take the larger specimens!”

“Oooh, and confident too! I can definitely see you going places.” (Reputation+) “Here’s the clipboard with the specimen data. Do be careful, they’re quite large and I’d hate to have to rescue you if something does happen. You’ll be rewarded handsomely if you succeed though.”

She hands you a clipboard similar to the one you received at hydroponics, with visual indicators of specimens and a checklist to go through. You thank her for the help and head for the containment area. You key in with the credentials she gave you on the notes. You then begin heading for containment for the first specimen.

(Rolling encounter: 81 above average)

You check the clipboard, the first specimen is something called a Tulokam Thunder Toad. “Interesting name..”

Tulokam Thunder Toad

Stats: 20 hp

Traits: Massive, Electric, Slimy, Three heads, Bioluminescence

Weaknesses: Docile, Slow

Description: Developed slightly by accident, the Tulokam Thunder Toads live as a community and can light up vast areas with their bright yellow glow. If excited or threatened, a powerful electric shock will course through the mucous membrane covering their bodies. It is a good thing they are docile, because they can reach up to six feet in length.

Excellent! If you can get a mucous sample, that’d give you come interesting traits. You find the enclosure quite easily, and it’s a sight to behold. A massive glass window rises up and reveals a large enclosure covered in foliage and with a waterfall to boot. It would be completely dark if not for the almost blindingly bright frogs sitting together. It’s actually quite cute, with some of them sitting on the others in a big squishy family.

You enter the feeding area and it smells pretty bad, you quickly find out it’s because you have to feed the frogs giant crickets. They wriggle in an equally large container that looks like it’s made of cardboard. You climb up a ladder to get inside with them to grab a few. At the top is an old stun-prod, that looks like it doesn’t work anymore. You find out there’s a feeding chute that leads into the frog enclosure. If you could herd a few through, it would work but you wouldn’t have much of a chance to grab a mucous sample.

You consider the pros and cons.

A. Wrangle a few of the giant crickets to feed a toad by hand and get a sample. (Gonna need to wrassle)

B. Try and herd the crickets through the hole, but not much chance to grab a toad sample. You could always try and grab something from a cricket and feed it through the machine.

C. Anon choice.

>A. Wrangle a few of the giant crickets to feed a toad by hand and get a sample. (Gonna need to wrassle)

You’d really like a sample from one of the toads, they look like they have quite a few powerful traits to pick from. In order to do that, you’re going to have to grab one of these crickets by force and feed it to the toads by hand. You’d rather not use any paralyzer charges on such weak creatures. Your mere presence at the top of the ladder has caused the majority of them to retreat into the giant recreations of egg cartons.

Before you drop down into the cricket enclosure, you grab the broken prod just in case. Wielding it like a police baton, you drop into the area. The only crickets who haven’t retreated are just not paying attention. They’re mostly just nibbling at the walls, not doing much visible damage to them anyways. It’s not terribly clean here, but you bear through it. Striding forward, you’re a scary sight to the prey insects.

The ones who haven’t noticed you yet, are now realizing the mortal peril they’re in. Their powerful legs make them hop into the air, seemingly just not high enough to get out. You dash at one with your arms outstretched to scare it into keeping still. You wave this way and that, each time it looks like it’s considering an exit. Finally it’s cornered and you pounce!

(Rolling speed: pass DUBS)

The oversized bug tries to hop over your head, but you react quickly. Swinging down with the baton, it hits the cricket on the head with a heavy thud knocking it back down into the corner. You grin triumphantly as it reels from the blow, clearly stunned as its legs flatten to the ground. Its small wings rub together, creating a loud chirp. You quickly silence it with another blow to the head.

(Rolling reaction: pass DUBS)

You grab your bounty by its powerful back legs to keep it from jumping away. Almost as if it’s sensing its defeat it gives up. Some shuffling behind you catches your attention and you jump, turning around a few crickets seem to have left the safety of the cartons. Your legs spring into action, bolting for the ladder out of the containment pen. The crickets hop after you, but you’re too fast and the adrenaline keeps you moving. The insect you’re holding kicks out, but you have it firmly caught. Climbing up the ladder, you get away from the angry bugs. You’ll come back later to open the gate once you have your sample.

Following the scare with the crickets, you keep a firm grip on the one you caught. You carefully open the locked door into the toads’ containment area. It’s even more beautiful from the inside, and you stop for a moment to take it in. The sound and feeling of a thud near you snaps you out of your reverie. The toads are all sitting on top of one another, but one of them seems to have broken off. It’s heard you. You consider the information that they spark when excited and plan your next move carefully. It might electrify when it sees food, and you couldn’t collect a sample while that’s happening.

A. Break the cricket’s legs and set it on the ground as bait. It’s cruel, but once a frog has eaten it, it probably won’t spark.

B. Try and catch the attention of the toad that broke off from the group and feed it by hand. If you’re careful, you can grab a sample. It did say they were docile.

The cricket struggles limply in your iron grip, attracting the attention of the toad. Now you didn’t have much other choice as it takes a short hop towards you. You can feel the ground reverberate with its weight. It takes a moment, stopping for a while after every hop. By the time it’s reached you, the light emitted from its skin is terribly bright. From up close, you can see patterns on its permeable skin. Spots of green, and white. The bright yellow light keeps you from seeing it from afar.

Soo, it’s almost at you. The strangely dark eyes hungrily looking at the cricket in your hand. “Uhhh.. c’mere?” You say to the frog. It turns its head to look at you with one of its black pupils. It stops hopping, and begins to walk towards you.

(Rolling luck: Critical success!)

Its throat flap extends and it croaks a greeting to you. Not much of a thunder, just a really loud ribbit. None of the other frogs seem to have noticed. The notes were right when they said docile, it just walks up and seems to wait for you now. Either they’re all this nice, or you got really lucky.

Holding up the cricket, it watches the squirming bug with anticipation. It sits down, with its front legs together. You walk forward and hold up the bug. The second you’re in range, it opens its mouth like a lightning bolt. Its giant red tongue flies out, closing the last few feet between the two of you.

You almost hear a squeal as the cricket is sucked in to the toad’s mouth. It begins munching down, happily eating its cricket. As it chews, you walk forward cautiously. You don’t see any signs that it might be giving off electricity. Either way, you’re careful to try and keep your hands off of the mucous as you scoop some of it into a vial. The frog croaks again as it swallows down its last meal and turns towards you. The way its face is shaped, it sorta looks like it’s smiling at you.

It nudges its head forward, into your outstretched arm. You’re glad it’s not sparking, because you get covered in the slime. It seems like it wants you to pet it. “Oh! What a cute frog…” you say to it, not helping yourself. Reaching up, you ignore the slime and scratch it on the head. One of its heavy back legs thumps, giving you quite a scare.

A. Give it some more pets, what’s the harm. That and it’s unbearably cute.

B. You can’t spend too much time on one specimen. You should leave, and get to the other species. It may get upset though.

C. Anon choice.

You indulge the giant beast, slightly out of fear that it might get upset with you if you stop. Its back legs goes back to thumping on the ground. You smile and bring your other hand around to rub it on its chin. It really is a giant cutie.

You’re glad he’s not sparking and move around to pet him and run your fingers along the ridges of his head. He nuzzles into your arm, like a giant slimy cat. He croaks again, and you feel the vibrations run through you. You’re giddy with the adorable frog you met.

The only problem, was that one of the other frogs had noticed what was going on. A smaller dimmer fellow, who did not look like he was too happy with the proceedings. You don’t notice him, too enthralled in your big new friend who WASN’T trying to fuck you unlike everything else in this place.

The new frog hops over, still quite loudly. He was only about five feet long, shorter than your big friend. When he gets close enough for your friend to notice, he begins nudging you back towards the containment door. You wonder what he could possibly mean when you see the other frog coming closer. Your eyes widen a bit, at the smaller toad angrily coming your way.

(Rolling obliviousness: pass)

You realize why your big friend might be nudging you away. That frog looks hungry, or angry, or whatever. Whatever it is, it doesn’t have the big squishy demeanor of the one you had just been petting. Getting the message, you turn and begin running for the door. You wave back at the toad “See ya, big buddy!”

(Rolling speed: critical failure)

The smaller frog is much faster than you expected and you’re almost at the door when he reaches you. His tongue flicks out and sticks to your ankle. At first you’re confused as to what hit you, then your leg is pulled out from under you. You’re dropped to the ground. The frog looms over you, still huge comparatively. It tilts its head, expecting there to be food or something for it with you. You don’t have anything for him though, and he gets more curious.

His frustration manifests itself as a shock that flicks on for a moment, but it’s enough to fry the circuits on your nanomachines. (-30 Integrity) Electricity was never something they dealt with well in large amounts. You’re glad you didn’t concentrate defenses this time, because only a larger amount of them would have been fried. At least when they were fried like this, the damage could be repaired after the situation when the short-circuited machines were recycled.

(Rolling recycling: 30*12%=~4 to be regained at the end of fight.)

Either way, you had just enough fluid to keep the suit from breaking on the spot. You must still smell like the crickets because the frog is sniffing all around you. You doubt the paralyzer will work on a creature that employs electricity as its main weapon. You still have the broken prod, it might hurt if you jab it in hard enough.

A. Grab your paralyzer and shoot the frog, it’s worth a shot. (Struggle roll, followed by easy aim roll)

B. Try and jab him with the prod, if you do it hard enough he might get off. (Struggle roll, followed by a melee roll)

C. Anon choice.

The frog has you pinned down, your chest smushed into the ground. Luckily the ground here is devoid of mud like nearer the frogs. You wiggle to try and get it off of you, it seems to have stopped with the shock. Luckily for you, since your nanomachines can’t take much electricity without going haywire.

(Rolling struggle: pass)

You wriggle out from under it, crawling forward and slipping away. The mucous makes things quite easy actually. As you get free, you get up and turn around. You won’t be able to get the door open while it’s bearing down on you. You doubt any kind of electrical attack from your paralyzer will stop a toad that employs lightning itself. You bring out the old baton in the hopes that if you hit it hard enough, it’ll stop.

The tip of the prod is still rather sharp, and it had enough weight that a good hit might scare the bugger off. He still wants something from you, though it’s obvious you don’t have food. You leap forward, bringing the baton down in an attempt to hit the frog on the head.

(Rolling melee combat: Critical success!)

The baton comes swinging down, just as the frog opens its mouth to extend its tongue again. You slam down hard on the tongue just as it’s about to exit the toads mouth. It makes a gargled noise and retracts the tongue, luckily the baton didn’t stick. It brings its hands up to the now limp tongue and cradles it. It’s lost all attention and you’re able to open the containment door and leave it behind.

You use the baton to herd a few more crickets through the feeding chute. They go willingly, seemingly having forgotten they were attacking you moments ago. They hop away from you and into the relative safety of the feeding chute. Multiple squeals later they become the lunch of a few other giant toads. Finished with your job here, you pocket the Tulokam Thunder Toad Mucous. You watch the enclosure as you leave. Your big toad friend watches you go from up close.

You wave at him “Maybe another time, bug buddy!” you say and walk away from the encounter. Looking down at your checklist, you see there’s an optional task involving helping out some of the researchers in observing behavior of some species. It might pay more, though it’s certainly always dangerous when someone wants to lock you in a room with something and see what happens.

A. Keep going with the feeding, it’s probably better to go solo. That way if something does happen, you might not lose as much reputation.

B. Go help out with a behavioral research project, if it goes well you’ll probably be paid more.

C. Anon choice.

It’s worth a shot to go try and earn some extra cash. If anything, you can buy some new stuff at Cochands’ shop. You take a look at the location on the clipboard and start heading off. The behavioral research was done in a different wing. They wanted to observe the creatures in their own environment, but it was difficult to set up analyzers and visuals in the pre-established containment areas. They built new ones with large windows where possible and cameras where not.

(Rolling encounter: Pretty bad)

You find the first containment cell. There doesn’t seem to be any notes on what you’re going to find inside. You knock on the door leading to the observation chamber. There’s no response, but you hear disgruntled talking inside. You wait a moment before politely knocking again. This time you hear some shuffling and an angry looking scientist answers the door. He stares at you with an irritated look before noticing the clipboard in your hands. The irritation in his face lifts, but only slightly. He grunts and opens the door more. “Come in.”

His hair is brown, and he has quite a bit of scruffy beard on him. He’s thin, and wears rectangular glasses. If he were a little more muscular, he’d definitely be more attractive. As it stands though, he’d go unnoticed in a crowd.

You bring the clipboard up to your chest and push up your glasses before moving into the observation chamber. Inside, there are a few other men and women. They’re huddled around a table and talking fervently, though much too quickly for you to understand. Something about a system failure. The glass window of the containment area is cracked in several places, but the reinforced structure holds. You hear skittering coming from the other room.

He leads you to the observation window, and you notice the containment pen is dark, there’s no light in there. “We’ve got a slight problem, and it’s good that you got here when you did. One of our specimens has mutated. Last night, security footage shows someone coming in and giving an illegal injection to a normally docile Fuzz-Ant. The specimen is still in containment, but it’s broken all of the lights, and has become much more aggressive. We need you to go in there and pacify the beast. We don’t have research data on whatever it’s become, but we do know it can no longer be classified as docile.”

You look at the window, jumping back when whatever it is runs into it again. You can’t help but think this might have been a bad idea. You’re too late to turn back now though. You turn to him and ask “I don’t have any equipment to fight something like this. All I got is a paralyzer, and I can’t hit something I can’t see

He grimaces and looks you in the eyes. “We need to deal with it quickly before anything else happens. Then we can find out what kind of DNA is in it and fast. We have some heavier weaponry and a wide angle lantern for you to take in there with you. We need the animal alive.” He walks over to a table and lifts a large cloth, revealing some gadgets as well as a layout of the containment area.

“You’ll be paid handsomely.” You realize he hasn’t told you his name, and he doesn’t seem to have a nametag anywhere. “Oh, umm, I’m Megan by the way. Megan Cox.”

“I’ve heard the Portentios talking about you, just in passing though. Do this for us, and I’ll see if I can arrange something for you from genetics. I’m Dr. Iago Black, you can just call me Iago.”

You take a look at the things laid out in front of you. Your paralyzer will help, but it won’t be as effective on a creature this big.

A. Tranquilization spray: A backpack with an extendable nozzle that spews a gas to tranquilize specimens. You must wear a gas mask or it will affect you too. (Cannot take anything else)

B. Dart Pistol: Pistol loaded with a tranquilizer dart, needs to be reloaded after every shot. (Can take one other item.)

C. Stun-Prod: Big Creature issue, only 3 shocks but they’re much more potent. (One other item.)

D. Shock rifle: Large electrode firing weapon, can shoot a lot of shocks but has a lot of recoil in automatic mode. Longer range. (Cannot take anything else)

E. Paralyzer Power Upgrade: Gives the paralyzer bonus charge, and allows for two shot burst. (One other item.)

(Beautiful Oekaki drawing of containment chamber coming in next post)

Here ya go, some poopy art.

You pick up the heavy duty stun-prod and wave it around a bit to feel the weight. Nodding, you slot it into your belt. After that, you look at the Paralyzer Power Pack. It slots onto the top and clicks into place, making the handle just a bit thicker as well when it comes down. The paralyzer beeps, accepting the add-on. It shows a charge of 8 shots now, with the capacity to hold the button down to fire two shots at the same time. It feels good in your hand, and you slot it into where it went before. It’s a little tighter, but seems fine. You take another look at the map of the enclosure.

“The best place to enter right now, would be through the feeding chamber since we know it’s in the main observation chamber. We can lock it down there, and open the corridor for you when you’re ready. We don’t know exactly what the beast looks like, but before things went dark we saw that it had shed the fur it had before. If you don’t know, a Fuzz-Ant looks like a Venezuelan Poodle Moth without wings. Last we saw, it had shed the fur. After that, we lost visuals as lighting was destroyed.”

You take a look at the footage displayed on the monitor. The researchers around the table are quieter now, fidgeting and whispering to each other. One of them pipes up “The Fuzz-Ant specimen was very important to us, any clue as to what happened will be invaluable. Please bring her back alive.” They look more worried than angry at this point.

You nod and take off your labcoat, hanging it on a chair so it won’t hinder you. You do still take a vial and push it into the empty slot on your belt. That way if you do find something, you can analyze it when you’re done. Lifting the paralyzer, you grab the lantern and attach it to your belt as well. It covers a wide area, but the light only goes about ten feet out. That bioluminescence would have come in handy here.

You step into the feeding chute, and walk forward. This area was still lit, but up ahead you could see the corridor was already dark. You flick on the lantern and step forward. You turn right, and find the locked door into the observation chamber. Iago’s voice crackles out over a speaker. “We can see you with a camera, that light will definitely help. I’m opening the chamber now.”

The door begins sliding open silently, your light feeding into the entrance to the chamber. You can already see that the ground’s been outfitted with a grainy sand textured floor. It was fake though, and really it helped with your footing due to the roughness. It would probably help whatever was in here though. As you step through, you hear a tiny click as the door reverses and closes behind you.

You hear scuffling to your right, but nothing is visible in your range. “I don’t see anything!” you yell to the air.

“We don’t know what the specimen’s behavior will be like. For all we know, it was angry due to a change in eye structure and the lights were too strong. Do be careful.”

You squint into the darkness, remembering that you were the one who was visible. You would have to focus all of your attention.

A. Wait, draw the beast to you. (Reaction and speed rolls)

B. Charge where you think it is, get the element of surprise. (Bonus for surprise if you’re right, leaves you vulnerable if not.)

“I ain’t no pansy!” you yell at the darkness and run forward. You flash the light as forward as possible to try and see ahead of you. A battle cry escapes your lips and you leap at where you believe the beast is.

(Rolling surprise: we’re not good at surprises)

You leap at the sound, only to find nothing there. You look around, confused. Nothing moving. Iago’s voice crackles once again. “Watch the walls, and ceiling, it can climb them!” You hear more scuffling ahead, and heed his warning paying attention to the walls at your side. Suddenly a screech echoes from all directions. You can’t pinpoint where it is!

(Rolling reaction: pass DUBS)

You roll out of the way, thankful you didn’t grab one of the heavier weapons. The mutated Fuzz-Ant had dropped down from directly above you. You take a good look at it now. It’s nothing like the docile beast that you had seen in the footage. Now its carapace was hard, but still a shade of white. It had grown larger mandible, and what was most interesting was the dexterous ‘fingers’ on its forelegs. Its eyes seemed to have changed into something more advanced than the multifaceted lens of insects.

Whatever the change had done to it, it was now very upset. It screeched loudly at you, a deafening noise just barely in your hearing range that drills into your ears. You grit your teeth and bear through it, and when it finishes you let out a scream of your own. “rrrrRRRRAAAAAAAHHH” you yell back at it, asserting yourself as the one in control.

It reels, obviously intimidated by the tactic. It had already seen you charge like a berserker at where it had been just moments ago. Its mandibles click together in an undiscernible pattern, if only you could speak insect. You place your hands at your sides, like a western gunslinger reaching for your weapons. It was fast, but you reckoned you had a close enough range to get some good shots off with the paralyzer.

Or you could continue with the shock and awe, bring out the heavy stun-prod and charge it again. This time with a clear objective.

A. Fire the burst paralyzer. (Aim rolls, with each one doing some damage)

B. Charge with the stun-prod. (Melee roll with potential intimidation)

C. Anon choice.

You quickly draw the powered up paralyzer, aiming at the mutated beast. Your finger slides onto the trigger, getting into place to shoot. You make sure to hold the gun steady, since you know it burst fires now and the recoil might make you miss.

(Aim rolls: pass DUBS, fail)

You pull the trigger, the first shot slamming into the beast shocking it (-3 HP). You didn’t expect the recoil to be so hard, but you had kept your hand at least a little steady. The second shot grazes the beast, doing some minor damage (-1 HP).

The shots crack into the beast, slamming the voltage against its chitin. It screeches again, and you steel yourself. It shakes as the electricity runs its course. Its hand like forelegs stretch forward, reaching for you. The giant and legs behind it thunder forward as it charges now. Angered by your ranged weaponry, it looks to close the gap.

(Rolling dodge: pass)

You jump to the side, easily dodging away from its thundering charge. The hands reach out to grab you, but barely miss as the ant’s momentum takes it past you. It brakes hard, turning back towards you. It chitters, angered at the sting you gave it.

You ready yourself for another strike, you had the advantage in the fight. The paralyzer is still in your hands, but this time the ant’s almost out of your light range. Another burst fire would be a little harder. You could always go back to the strategy of using the stun-prod.

A. Burst fire paralyzer (Two aim rolls, slightly more difficult)

B. Stun-prod charge (Dodge roll, then easy melee roll)

The paralyzer is holstered as you draw the heavy stun-prod. Holding it like a baton, you swing it once or twice. Pressing on the button, the tip crackles ominously. You definitely don’t want the business end anywhere near you. It’s a little heavier than the other one, but still easy to wield. You charge forward with a battle cry, preparing for a strike against the mutant. “RAAAAAAAAAHH”

It watches your approach with its new advanced eyes and prepares itself, lashing out as you approach. Its advanced arms reach forward for your arms. It screeches its own battle cry.

(Rolling dodge: pass)

You swerve, nimbly dodging the claws grabbing at you. Sliding past them, you enter into position for a hit. You swing your stun-prod with as much force as you can manage.

(Rolling melee: pass)

The heavy stun-prod comes crashing down on the Mutated Fuzz-Ant’s head. The shocking tip connects and a bolt of electricity is transferred through the beast (-7 HP). It reels in pain, shaking visibly this time as the shocking attack works its way through its body. It seems to lose the strength in its legs, coming crashing down onto the ground with a heavy thud.

Iago’s voice comes again from the speaker “Looks like she’s down. Keep watch for a few minutes while we gather up to collect her.” You crackle the stun-prod again, just in case. Watching the beast, it looks up at you with pained eyes. The hatred once present is gone, and had been replaced by an almost fearful look. Nevertheless, you watch it intently.

Soon, the corridor door opens and you see several light sources as the researchers crowd into the room, carrying equipment. Iago is the first to arrive, carrying the tranquilizing mist. He puts the nozzle up to the Fuzz-Ant’s abdomen and gives it a good spraying. The sprayer is on a low setting, so the mist is slowly sucked in by tiny spiracles along its side.

Its eyes slowly mist over, and soon it has no expression anymore. Iago looks up at you with a grim smile. “Thank you for being here for us, we don’t know what we would have done if we had lost her. You’ll be payed handsomely for this along with whatever Sabrina’s promised you.”(+Reputation)

He stands up and reaches out to shake your hand. You’re panting from the exertion of the fight you just had. You didn’t expect it to end so quickly, but the upgraded weaponry you had made it quite easily. You could do quite some things if you had at least one of these.

A. Offer to take both the stun-prod, and paralyzer upgrade instead of the reward. (Hard persuasion)

B. Offer to take the heavy stun-prod instead of the reward. (Medium difficulty persuasion)

C. Offer to take the paralyzer upgrade instead of the reward. (Easy persuasion)

D. Try and get both weapons without giving up the reward. (Almost impossible persuasion)

E. Try to get the heavy stun-prod without losing the reward. (Very hard persuasion)

F. Try to get the paralyzer upgrade without losing the reward. (Hard persuasion)

G. Anon choice.

You heft the paralyzer out of the holster, clicking the upgrade off of it. Luckily for you, it only drained power from the extra battery when you fired so it’s still fresh. You give him the pack, and holster the paralyzer again. Grabbing the heavy stun-prod your gaze lingers for a moment. It was strong, really strong. Not as many shocks as a regular one, but it hit hard. You bite your lip and look up at him.

(Rolling persuasion: pass)

“Could I..?” you start, but he brings his hand up. “Megan, you’ve done us a great favor. How about instead of the reward you just take the stun-prod. You seem to like it!” Your eyes light up and you smile “Yes! Exactly! How did you know?”

“I had an inkling, and seeing you look at it like that, it’s quite obvious.” He says, kneeling back down and turning towards the other researchers pulling out needles and machines to examine exactly what went wrong. “We’ll send you an e-mail with her status once we know what’s happened. I’m sure you’d want to know.”

You holster the heavy prod, remembering one more thing. You’re about to ask if Iago has any samples of the Fuzz-Ant when you see him pulling out a pack of injectors. Each one is a clean Fuzz-Ant structural enzyme. He sees you looking at them, and lifts one up for you. “I’ll take it you’re also learning genetics? Here’s a Fuzz-Ant SE. It should be enough to get all the traits, as well as research data. Now, the Fuzz-Ant is a lot more docile than what it’s been mutated to become. We were very fond of this one, which is why we asked that you keep it safe. In a few hours, it’ll be back to its old self. We’ll be launching an investigation to find out who did this and why.”

You take the injector, removing the needle and making it safe for you to put in your pocket. The plastic clicks against the bottle already there. You thank Iago for the prod, and begin walking away. You still have more feeding to do.. Or another behavioural project in the large creature sector. One last job before you’re done for today in genetics.

A. Do a feeding. (Some solo work, if we’re lucky some time to relax after the fight.)

B. Do another behavioural research project. (This time it was combat, next time we might just be defenseless to see what happens when X in the cell is introduced to humans)

C. Anon choice.

Next part coming as I write it.

Unfortunately, my writing situation has sorta been bleak for the last few days. Not many moments to sit down and really get cracking. Gonna try and work now, but I may have to get up and come back later.

You might as well head to another behavioral research session. You’ll get paid more after all. Plus, it seems like a good way to interact with the scientists in the genetics department. The feeding chute for the Fuzz-Ant enclosure hisses closed behind you and your coat swishes as you walk from the encounter. You walk off towards your next task.

(Rolling encounter: 55 average DUBS)

You quickly find the observation chamber for the last species you’ll be checking on for the day. You knock and wait a moment. A nice looking blonde woman with longer hair answers the door. Her smile shines a pure white, but more out of courtesy than any happiness. “Hiii, you must be here to help out with the behavioral research. Lucky for you, we’re not doing anything too dangerous today. We’ve gotten the specimens sort of used to human contact, and we need someone to sit in there for a little while and see how they react.”

You’re led into the chamber, and it’s another one with a glass window. The containment area is much smaller this time, merely a white tiled room. Slithering around are strange little salamanders. They’re almost clear all the way through. They’re only visible as a shimmering outline of where they should be. “Clearwater Salamanders. A new species to test out biological cloaking.”

The woman leads you to the entrance to the chamber and smiles once more. She pulls out a key card and places it on the lock. “We’re going to put you in there, take a few minutes to get them familiarized with you. Then we’ll go through some exercises.”

“It’s just a few lizards, what’s the worst that can happen?” You say to her. She asks you to put your weapons on a desk for the experiment since they didn’t want any of the specimens to be injured. You keep the suit and coat. She gives you a packet of treats for you to use to gain their trust as well.

She opens the door, and you step through into the enclosure. Immediately, the lizards go completely invisible. At least you had a hint of where they were before. Now they were gone! The door shuts just as quickly behind you, and you’re closed into the room. You’re scared to step forward in case you step on one, they are invisible after all.

Still, you walk out into the middle of the room. Your feet shuffle slowly along the ground in case one of them is in front of you. Getting to the middle, you sit down and wait. Every now and then a shimmer flashes in the corner of your vision, but they don’t seem to be coming out of hiding.

A. Reach out your hand to see if any of them respond.

B. Pull out the treats to get them out of hiding.

C. Ask for advice from the scientist in observation.

D. Anon choice.

(Can't find anything relating to salamanders so content yourselves with a comic I like.)

You pull the pack of treats out of your pocket and immediately you hear activity in the room around you. Scuffling from all around as the invisible salamanders turn their attention towards the food. You’re careful now, not knowing what they’ll do if you just open it up. Slowly, you open it and pull out a treat. Reaching out, you put it down on the ground in front of you. You see a flash as one of them appears and scarfs it down before going into hiding again.

You pull out another and the same thing happens, with a salamander flitting into existence and vanishing just as quickly. You feel them rub against you now, as they get more comfortable with your presence.

(Rolling luck: pass)

Your efforts come to fruition as a few of the more bold salamanders appear in front of you. They still keep their distance, eyeing you with caution. You hold out another treat, and one of them hops forward. It grabs it with its front legs. Its sticky hands grapple the treat and it gets stuffed into its mouth. You see a few more of the lizards materialize. You notice a few larger ones than before, almost double the size of the others coming into view.

One of them drops from the ceiling onto your head. It’s heavy, but you deal with it calmly. You reach up and pick it up, dropping it in front of you. It’s squishy, and your fingers sink into it quite a bit. You watch bemused as two of the small ones seem to ram into each other. To your surprise, they squish together into one of the even larger ones. Just as you see this, behind you, you hear a thump. You turn and see a much larger salamander formed from two of the already big ones. It shimmers and goes invisible.

You begin to get concerned, thinking you had a break from larger creatures. Still, it’s your job to see hwo they react with you in there.

A. Ask for some advice from the scientist.

B. Just continue with the treats and making them comfortable.

C. Ask to end the experiment, you’re getting a bit scared.

D. Anon choice.

Life's not allowing me to update as often as I'd like. I'll probably be able to squeeze in another tonight, depending on when I can get settled down. Have another page of the comic, since I know I'm prolly gonna be slow about it.

You can deal with the salamanders yourself. The scientist hasn’t spoken a word since she pushed you into the enclosure, but you don’t need any help. You’re just supposed to be there to see what happens when they’re introduced to humans for a more prolonged period of time.

Speaking of which, they had become quite a bit more comfortable now that they knew you were not hostile. There were no more little ones, they had all come together to form the second size. Past that, a few of them were larger than a dog.

You become more confident, pulling out another treat and extending it to one of the larger salamanders. It pads forward, leaving little prints of its sticky secretions. Opening its mouth, it swallows your whole hand. It’s not a strong bite, just feels like gums squishing your wrist. Still, it’s alarming.

(Rolling handling: pass DUBS)

You stay calm and wait for the salamander to pull its mouth off of your hand and swallow down the treat. It then went off and found another one of a similar size. They did the same little dance, looking at each other and bobbing their heads before ramming headfirst into each other to fuse together. Over the speaker you hear the woman scientist say. “Very interesting, they’ve never gotten this big before. These are wonderful observations. We’ll keep you in there for a little while longer and we should be done.”

You look around at the lizards now minding their own business, idling around. A few of them seem intent on getting treats though. A few of the larger ones begin approaching for more.

(Rolling luck: critical success!)

You have more than enough treats to keep feeding them. Soon, the small ones are gone and you’re left with only a few very large salamanders. They lounge around, seemingly content with their little experience and the treats. You’re even lucky enough that one of them lies down beside you with its head resting on you. You take the opportunity to pull out a glass vial and scoop some of its sticky mucous into it. It has a shimmering property just like the lizard, but cools down to a clear liquid soon after.

You lounge around, glad that today has gone pretty well for you. (+Content. Minor bonus to all rolls for the rest of the day.) The giant amphibian eventually lifts his head from your lap, and you look to the observation window to see if anything’s changed. The woman speaks over the speakers again “Good work today, I’ll have your extra pay wired by the afternoon. We’ve got wonderful data. This is the first time I’ve seen them get as large as they have. Maybe next time I’ll do some experiments myself.”

The door to observation hisses open, and the salamanders fade into invisibility once again. They realize it’s just the woman they’ve see for so long and soon revert back to being visible. You see a few have popped back into two. “Come on out, you’re done for today.”

You head out of the enclosure, and wave a little goodbye to the salamanders. They just keep doing what they do, sticking onto things. The door hisses closed behind you, and you shake hands with the woman. She gives you back your weapons and you head out the door. It seems you’re about wrapped up in genetics for today. You have some time before heading back and checking on afternoon tasks though.

Somebody give me that oh so anticipated random encounter roll!

While I know a lot of you wish >>28125 had been the roll, we're gonna go with >>28124

You hear your card blip with the influx of credits as the central system processes the transactions. You’re not worried about that though. You’ve had a hard day’s work behind you, and you’re in sore need of a relaxing shower.

(Rolling random encounter: 79 above average)

You go through the regular routine, throwing off the coat and peeling the suit off of your body. You stuff your things in the locker and take a deep breath. You had made sure beforehand that nothing was hiding in the stalls, all of them were empty in fact. You always came by when nobody else seemed to be around. Maybe your schedules just didn’t match up.

Either way, you were ready for a completely relaxing and non-molesty shower today. Yesterday’s events with the muttshroom left you a bit paranoid, but you pushed it out of your mind. You slip into the shower and turn on the water and up the thermometer. The warm water runs down your body, and you wipe away the sweat and grime. You always enjoyed showers, they helped you relax and you liked being clean.

You’re always watching the stall door, and listening for anyone coming in though. The labs weren’t the safest place either. That’s why you paused when you heard the door into the shower area open. Someone had come in and looking under the stalls you could see they were already bare-foot. You continued with your shower, hoping today wasn’t going to be like yesterday.

They went into the stall next to yours, which might have been strange. It might also be because only a few of the stalls were clean at any time. You watch them walk into the stall beside you. Their feet gave away that they were clearly of a brown skin tone, but you wouldn’t be able to tell their race unless you saw their face. They were small feet, whoever they belonged to must have been quite petite.

They turn on the shower, and you begin to relax again. Reaching for the soap, you lather yourself up. Then you hear an electric razor come on. Not a few seconds later, a copious amount of hair begins falling onto the ground. It clumps in the water and most of it runs down the drain, as these were made to clean the worst genetics had to offer off of you.

Still, you didn’t think it was very polite to shave all over the shower. You then realize that the hair is still falling, large amounts of it actually. It looks like it’s straight and brown, the water makes it darker than it is.

A. Confront whoever this is, maybe find out why there’s so much hair.

B. Finish your shower in peace, actually have an un-interrupted cleaning.

C. Anon choice.

Let's get rolling

Somebody gimme a spaghetti roll against 50-5=45+

Also, note to people using any Windows 7 and up computers. Windows 10 launched for free, and comes with Word. I am now typing from a completely legal setup. Also, WIndows 10 is sexy as fuck.

You can only imagine what may have caused this girl to grow so much hair. It’s strange, there wasn’t any on her feet but there was so much hair falling down that it must have covered her arms or legs. You timidly wait for a good opportunity to say something.

The razor shuts off, a lot of the hair having fallen and run down the drain. Clumps of it still hung around though, a reminder of what happened. You knock on the wall between the stalls and begin to say something.

(Rolling spaghetti: pass)

“Hey, um… is everything alright?” You say to whoever is in the next stall over. Apparently you must have startled them because they jumped. Their feet left the ground and went up where you couldn’t see them for a second before coming down.

A tiny yelp also echoes from the chamber over, more like a squeak than anything. She begins speaking, her voice very high pitched and small sounding. “Oh! I.. uh.. It’s..” She sounds like she must not be the greatest at talking. Stumbling over her words, she seems like she won’t be able to speak. You hear her stop and take a slow breath.

“There was an accident at work, I’ll be fine. They said the side-effects would go away by the time I got to bed.”

You step into the dryer, and let it get the water off most of your body before stepping out of the shower. You talk as you walk over to your locker and begin opening it. “So what went wrong? You dropped a lot of hair there.”

Her dryer comes on, and you stop. A curiosity comes over you, and you can’t help but wait for her to come around. You open your locker slowly, the whole time watching the corner that led to the stall doors. The little feet come around the corner, and your eyes wander up her body.

The first thing you notice are her powerful thighs, larger than anything else on her. She’s really short, and you’d hazard a guess that her family must have been from India at some point. She has full, curly brown hair. From the top of her head sprout two very prominent bunny ears. You want to say that her nose looks a bit different as well, but it could be passable for a button nose. Her chest is small, and fits her frame.

Her eyes match the rabbit look she seems to have. She has them wide open as she looks at you. Ready to bolt, she steps forward cautiously. “I.. I was helping out with some DNA testing when I p-pricked myself on a needle. I-it was my fault.. I stumbled into the doctor as he was doing a t-transfer…”

You put on the most un-threatening smile you can, and open your locker up. “Hey, it’s fine. Maybe something good came of it, at least until it wears off. You jumped half a mile into the air when I scared you back there.” She opens a locker not too far from you, and is grabbing some of her stuff when she hears you.

She looks down at her legs, seemingly looking at them for the first time. She notices her thighs, and in quick succession notices she’s completely naked. You never cared much about nudity in the shower room, but she might have been a bit different as she turns a shade darker and bolts back towards the stalls with the pile of clothes she had grabbed.

When she comes back, you see she has a small labcoat of her own and has put on a baseball cap to tuck the ears into. You wouldn’t say it fits her, but it seems to contain the problem she’s embarrassed by. You’re about to ask another question when she turns and quickly runs out of the showers. You notice a hop in her step you didn’t see before.

Walking back over to the showers with a vial in hand, you have the idea to grab a few hairs off the ground. You’re sure she won’t mind. It also occurs to you that you never got her name. You’ll have to look out for her the next time you’re in genetics. You put your clothes back on and begin heading back to the office.

You have quite a few genetic samples, but you don’t want to spend too much time on them or you’ll miss out on time later in the day.

A. Run the samples through the system now and see what new traits we have. (Won’t be able to use them unless people vote overwhelmingly to.)

B. Check our e-mail for afternoon tasks, we can get to the samples when we can use them.

C. Anon choice.

Late update tonight, but you can all be sure I'll check in at least once a day.

Also, since I've started I don't really like how the Arousal stat's been working. I've decided to remove the hard cap, and make it correlate more accurately with adding or subtracting difficulty to certain rolls. It's still going to be 0-9, but now for every 0.1 above 1 the roll will gain a difficulty of 1. For example, if we need to roll a lust resistance, and our arousal is at 2.7. We'd add 17 to the difficulty of the roll. On the other hand if our Arousal is at 0.5 it'll subtract 5 from the roll. I hope this makes more sense and isn't just a random number I'm tracking. I'll update the rules page after this update!

You take the samples you’d accrued throughout the morning and put them in storage to process later. You also toss the suit back into its storage along with the extra fluid tank. It’s caught by the mechanical arm, which fumbles for a bit, before pulling the suit back in. The fluid tank clips into its slot, and the display case slides back over.

You slip into the comfy tank top and shorts combo after throwing on some underwear. Settling down, you take a seat at the computer and look at what e-mails are going around for the afternoon. You could also go do something of your own volition if nothing interests you from there.

There seem to be some jobs needing doing in Robotics as usual. There always seemed to be some sort of accident or cleanup going on over there. There was also an e-mail from virology which could be interesting, though dangerous. There was one advertising a new staff lounge, with a high-tech water cooler. It might be fun if you’re just looking to talk and maybe do some errands for the higher ups there. It never hurts to suck up to the leads.

You could always stop by Cochands with your new cash, but he might not even have new stock so soon. There’s also the possibility of tracking down the bunny girl and finding out more about her, since she had run off so quickly during your first meeting.

A. dviolet@robotics33.gov: Help needed in robotics. Testing needs to be done on a few new mech designs.

B. dblack@virology33.gov: Test subject for different strains of beneficial viruses needed. No danger, we promise.

C. sstevens@admin33.gov: NEW! Social lounge for staff on break! High-tech water cooler dispenses everything but! Grand opening this afternoon!

D. Stop by Cochands to maybe buy something you didn’t get before.

E. Track down the Bunny Girl and see if we can get to know her better.

Unfortunately no update today.

You open up the e-mail from virology. It looks like it might be interesting. Hopefully they’re telling the truth when they say no danger…

SUBJECT: Test subject for different strains of beneficial viruses needed. No danger, we promise.

CONTENTS: Some new retrovirus strains have been developed and just hit human trial. We have an accelerated system, so each test should only run an hour and a half or so per virus. We can assure you these are harmless, and will be removed from your system at the end of the trial.

- Daniel Black

You leave your weapons behind since you don’t think you’re going to need them for this. You lock your computer and bring along your coat again, since you do still want to look professional. You finish up by grabbing a bite to eat before heading out. The door closes behind you, locking.

The virology wing is over by medical, convenient in case someone needs to be quarantined. You make your way around, confused since this is your first time over in this area. Eventually you find virology. It has a few checkpoints to go through. You get sprayed down with disinfectant, and do a screening for any illnesses you might already have before finally getting through. No viruses got in or out without authorization.

You’re not much scared of being in here, even though you have no idea what the viruses around would do. Eventually you find yourself in front of the research area being reserved by Dr. Black. You knock on the door, and await him there. When he answers, you get to see him in person.

He’s rather short, with longer black hair. Seemingly in order to make up for it, he’s noticeably muscular. His coat actually stretches with his biceps that your eyes can’t help but linger on. He’s also got a rather large beard, which is currently tied up and wrapped so none of it falls out.

When he sees you he bellows a laugh, coming straight from his belly. “OH HOHOHO!” His voice is low and seems to echo even in the open area. “You must have come for the tests, good, good!” He beckons you inside, and you see a medical table with a variety of syringes waiting. There’s also a bed, and chairs.

“You’re going to spend some time in this room waiting for effects to manifest. I’ll be observing from the outside. Feel free to do whatever you like between check-ups. We have a few viruses to test out today, I’ll let you have your pick of what we do first.”

He waves to the syringes, and you get a closer look. Two of them are retroviruses, and the other seems to be a simple virus.

A. Syringe filled with bright blue. Labelled ‘X’, and looks like a retrovirus.

B. Syringe with pink liquid. Labelled, ‘F-enhance’ and is also a retrovirus.

C. Completely clear syringe. Labelled ‘Cleanser’, and is just a regular virus.

You take a look at them and decide to go with the pink one first. It just looks like it’s the most enticing since all you have to go on are the labels. You have a feeling that if you ask him about them he’d just stare at you until you dropped it. You point at the syringe labelled F-Enhance, “Let’s try that one first. Any chance you’ll let me know what it does?”

He laughs his big belly laugh again, completely ignoring your question and picking out the syringe. Beckoning you forward, he pulls the coat up to your shoulder to bare your arm. He doesn’t seem to need to put pressure on your arm to quickly find a vein and stick the needle into it. You watch the pink fluid be released into you. He pulls out the needle and steps back. “You’ll be spending some time in this room while the virus takes effect. Please make note of any changes you may feel in your body. I will be observing you from outside.”

A little sticker goes over the hole, and you rub your arm. He leaves through the same door you came in and you watch him close it behind him. You sit down on the rolling bed, and take a look around. It’s white all over, probably to be able to clean off anything that isn’t. There’s the bed you’re sitting on, as well as a sink. Above the sink is a mirror, and on the other wall is a full body mirror.

You settle down, and relax. It’s a bit difficult, knowing a virus is inside you. Eventually though, you’re lying down and breathing deeply.

(Rolling immune system: pass)

After about fifteen minutes of nothing, you’re beginning to wonder if the retrovirus is not different at all and might take hours to do its job. You’re impatient, whatever. Your doubts are assuaged by a sudden, but noticeable change in your center of gravity. If you hadn’t been lying down, you might have stumbled a bit. Daniel notices your movements and looks up from whatever he was doing. He’s watching intently from the window, his product’s finally taking effect after all.

You turn and dangle your legs off the side of the bed. Unbuttoning the labcoat, you definitely see the source of the change is your breasts. They feel a lot heavier, and are pushing out against your tank top. You can’t help but lift your hands to cup them and feel their weight. You call out “There’s definitely changes, is this supposed to be happening?”

“No worries dear, this is exactly according to previous test results. Now, tell me are you feeling anything different? If you can, please tell me what exactly is the circumference of the unit circle.”

“It’s two pi radians, and no nothing yet.” You wonder why he asked such an odd question, when the weight in your hands suddenly shift again. Your breasts push out more, your small tank top has to stretch to accommodate them. Your bra, which was not made for such large jugs gives way and pops. The hooks on your back had given up and popped apart. The straps on your shoulder kept it from falling down your shirt, but the cups were quickly lifted out of the way. Your nipples push up against the fabric of your tank top, and you’re glad you’re not turned on or cold.

You were going to go look in the mirror, but you would fall over with this new weight. You lift them both up, much heavier than before. A little smile plays across your face, while they certainly would be more difficult if you had them all the time, they’re a lot of fun. You look up and the doctor is scribbling on a clipboard. “We’ll take a measurement of your new bust after the tests are over. There should still be some more effects coming up.”

You roll back onto your back, your large breasts smushing on your chest. You get back into a sitting position, you have no idea how the more heavily endowed girls do it. Your messing with them has made your nipples harden a bit, but you had no intention of playing with them.

So, here's how things are going. I'm getting on a plane today and really I'm only going to land back in a place I can check the thread on the 18th. Even then, I'm moving back into the dorm so things will be hectic. What I'm thinking is I do another gallery story since I'm going to be on a plane for so long.

Since I just thought of this now, and the first plane ride begins soon. I can't really do a strawpoll, or have a vote since I can't access the internet unless I stop someplace like Starbucks. Either way, I'm gonna throw one up in a few minutes. If there's a scene that you'd like to see that isn't on there reply in the thread.

There is the full possibility that I won't be able to check it, so in that case I'll just pick my favorite and write that one.

Remember, I may not be able to see the results when I get down to writing. I'd be disappointed in myself if I didn't at least throw a vote out there. In any case, I'll do whichever is voted for eventually.

A. Megan and the giant spider (Oviposition, Web Bindings, Aphrodisiac Venom, Bad End, etc.)

B. Megan/Neil/Both in the glow bulb, specify which you prefer. (Tentacles, Multiple Penetration, Possible Transformation, Bad End, etc.)

C. Megan and the giant crickets (Oviposition, Gangbang, etc.)

D. Megan and a Thunder Toad (Large Insertion, Tongue, Slime, Electric Shock, etc.)

E. Megan and the mutated Fuzz-Ant (Oviposition, Large Insertion, Observers, etc.)

F. Megan and the Clearwater Salamanders (Double Cocks, Small Doms to Big Doms, Voyeur (Scientist Woman), Invisible Assailants, etc.)

G. Bunny Girl in heat (Solo, Masturbation, Toys, Body Exploration, Possible Backstory hints, etc.)

H. Voluptuous Megan and Daniel Black (Vanilla Sex, Titjob, Intercrural, etc.)

I. Anon choice.

If someone thinks of something I haven't, and people vote for it, I'll do that instead of one of these. I'm on my phone so I can't really check the story, just doing it by memory.
