; ; This one needs a severe squickiness warning. I mean it. It's way ; gross. It makes 'Mind Worms' look like 'Horton Hears a Who'. If you ; aren't into gross-kinky, go read 'Sweet Oil' or something. ; ; The escape pod was a larger model, from one of the high-end mining and ; exploration ships working this edge of the galaxy. No sign of the ship ; which had launched it, the ship Dani had come out here to find. It was ; a bad sign, but it was the first and only evidence Dani had seen in ; weeks of searching. She carefully attached the rescue arm, whose ; diagnostic cable slid into place.
; ; It jacked in and found power. The escape pod reported back that it was ; still fully active, and that it had air, water, and nutrient ; available. Dani scanned through the records, but they had suffered ; some sort of damage, and did not indicate how many of the crew were on ; board. The nutrient levels had been fluctuating, though, which almost ; certainly meant at least one person was there; for some reason, they ; had dropped to a very low level; either the recycler wasn't working, ; or nutrient was escaping into space.
; ; Dani hit the signal switch, and spoke into the vid-phone.
; ; "This is the scout ship Hespi contacting the scout carrier ; Kragoth. Hespi contacting Kragoth. Thula, this is Dani - I have ; located an escape pod from the Janus. Repeat, I have located an escape ; pod from the Janus. It appears to be functional, and preliminary ; indications are that someone is aboard. I am now suiting up, and ; investigating. I'll send more when I have it. Hespi, out."
; ; She hit the Send button, and the message shot out to the scout ; carrier, several light hours away at the other end of the system.
; ; Dani dropped lightly into her vacsuit, and sealed the helmet.
; ; The escape pod's airlock was standard, and just large enough for one ; individual in a vacsuit. It seemed to be in perfect working order. The ; air quickly cycled into the chamber, and both Dani's suit indicators ; and the airlock's monitors approved it as breathable. Dani popped the ; catches on her helmet, and let it pivot up and over, onto her ; back. The air was hot, and humid - an unusual setting for a human ; ship. Dani hit the door open button, and the airlock slid open.
; ; The interior of the escape pod was transformed. At first, Dani thought ; that there was a thick haze in the air, but she quickly realized the ; walls and floor of the airlock were coated in a mucous-like slime, ; slightly green tinted. Thicker clumps of some sort of growth were ; embedded in the slime, looking like large balls of algae. The reason ; everything was hazy was because the slime had covered the airlock ; door, and was now forming some sort of... bubble...
; ; It popped, suddenly, spattering Dani with goop. She squeaked, and ; tried to rub it off of her face with a gloved hand, succeeding in ; smearing it around her cheek. She took a deep breath - it didn't seem ; to be causing any sort of reaction. Her heartbeat slowly came back ; down as she ran a small clump of the stuff, off of the front of her ; vacsuit, through the analyzer. Carbon based, largely water... seemed ; harmless. Of course, the trace elements might be enough to harm her, ; but from the readout, the stuff was basically slightly transformed ; nutrient mix.
; ; Which would explain why the levels were low. The stuff was all over ; the walls. Dani flipped her helmet closed, and fastened the seals. The ; escape pod was designed for up to a dozen, and the interior had a ; number of rooms off of a central O-shaped corridor. It was time to ; look for survivors.
; ; All of the rooms of the pod were coated in the slime; it was thickest ; in corners and crevices. In addition, Dani discovered creatures living ; in the slime - little sleek black slug-like things. When she poked at ; them, they writhed.
; ; But no people. Dani called out several times, without reply. She made ; a complete circuit of the escape pod, checking each of the rooms. They ; were all the same - slimy, with the strange algae-like growths and the ; black slugs.
; ; As she came back towards the airlock, she felt something watching ; her. Turning, she saw a pair of creatures about the size of dogs, but ; instead of heads they had long nozzle-like appendages, and their ; bodies were flat and muscular looking.
; ; "Jesus. What are those?" she asked, slowly reaching for her blaster.
; ; One of the leapt at her, and she yelled, whipping out her blaster and ; firing at the thing. The shot knocked it aside, and she put several ; more energy blasts into it as it hit the floor.
; ; The other one fled.
; ; Dani examined the body on the floor. Whatever it was, she had ; certainly killed it. It didn't seem to have any claws or fangs, but ; alien biology was beyond her purview. Time to get the hell out.
; ; She almost missed the woman in the next room.
; ; The woman was sprawled naked in a corner, covered in the same slime ; which was on everything else in the pod. Dani only saw her because her ; breathing caused the light reflection to change. She lay there, ; apparently alive, but with her eyes closed, coated in goop, and with a ; bunch of the black slugs on her. Dani's eyes widened.
; ; "T-Terry?"
; ; The woman's eyes opened. Without expression, she cocked her head to ; look at Dani. The mucous coating the walls glinted thickly in her ; hair. Thick pockets of it were pressed up against her on all sides, ; giving the appearance that she was in some sort of cocoon.
; ; "I-is that you, Terry?"
; ; The woman's mouth slowly opened; a thin layer of slime formed a ; bubble, which broke as she spoke.
; ; "...sssister."
; ; "Oh God, Terry, they're all over you."
; ; A faint smile appeared on the woman's face.
; ; "Hello, Dani."
; ; "Terry, I, I'm here to rescue you. What, what-"
; ; "Mmm. Thanks, Dani. It's nice of you to rescue me."
; ; "Terry, you're covered with those... things!"
; ; Terry looked down at herself. Maybe a dozen of the thick black slugs ; were on her naked form, buried in the slime.
; ; "Mmm. Yeah, I am. It's all right."
; ; "What?"
; ; "I'm their host, Dani. They need me."
; ; "Terry?"
; ; "See," began Terry, sitting up from where she had been sprawled ; against the wall, long streamers of mucous stretching out behind her, ; "they are parasites. Kind of like leeches. They are drinking my ; blood."
; ; Sure enough, Dani could see now that the slugs had both ends embedded ; in Terry's flesh.
; ; "Terry! Get them off!"
; ; "And they aren't just drinking my blood, Dani. After they are done ; with it, they inject their waste back into me. And my body takes care ; of it. It's my function."
; ; "Terry, what's wrong with you?"
; ; Terry looked back up at her sister. "Nothing's wrong with me, ; sister. In fact, everything is just the way it should be."
; ; Dani took a step back. "Then take those things off!"
; ; "But I don't want to. I'm their host. See, Dani, these are just the ; little ones. This is what they look like when they reach maturity."
; ; Terry turned her head to the side, and reached back to flip her ; slime-thick hair over her face. On the back of her head was an object, ; about the size of a fist. It looked like some sort of black macaroni ; shell.
; ; Dani stared at it in horror.
; ; Terry smiled under her hair. "It's in control, Dani. I am its host. It ; is my master. It has joined with my mind, and now I belong to its ; species."
; ; "Jesus, Terry," muttered Dani, and fumbled for her blaster.
; ; "I exist to help them, now. Mmm. And they make me feel good. It's so ; wonderful, Dani, being a host. My mind is so clear. I have no doubts, ; no uncertainty. Just obedience." Terry flipped her hair back over, ; covering the creature, and turned to face Dani. "I love my new mind. I ; love my master."
; ; Terry stretched, her body glistening with slime. She arched her back, ; rolled her neck around, and returned her gaze to Dani, who now held ; the blaster on her with trembling hands.
; ; "We make such perfect hosts, Dani. We were born to be hosts. Our blood ; is so rich, so warm. We're so smooth, so easy to attach to. No fur to ; drill the feeding bit through. Mmm..." Terry ran her hands up her ; torso, cupped her heavy breasts. The light reflected off of her ; smooth, enlarged nipples, the full slopes of her breasts, the pair of ; slugs feeding in her cleavage. Terry stared down at them. "And we're ; so easy for them to modify. To make those few little changes that make ; us perfect."
; ; Terry squeezed a breast, and milk ran out, to trickle down the ; front. Dani gasped. "My blood is so much richer when my body thinks ; it's pregnant." Terry looked up from her breasts, looked at Dani. "And ; remember what I said about being smooth? Shaving is never something ; I'll have to worry about again, Sis. My pores produce something much ; more amenable, now." She ran her hands down from her breasts, along ; her hips, and then drew straight lines up her inner thighs, fingers ; pushing up her smooth mons, glinting with slime.
; ; "Dani," she said, and Dani quickly looked up from her sister's naked ; pussy, "we are made for them. It's so perfect." Terry ran her tongue ; over her lips, and stepped toward Dani. "Please..."
; ; "G-get back," stammered Dani. She felt dizzy.
; ; "It's time for you to become a host, Dani. Listen to your sister." ; Terry's naked form took a step forward, then another. "It's so ; perfect. So wonderful. Please, Dani. It's time for you to be like me."
; ; "Terry, please - I'll shoot!"
; ; Terry's head listed slowly to the side. "I'm your sister, Dani. I love ; you. I only want what's best for you. Don't shoot me. I love you."
; ; "Please, Terry... stop! Just stop!"
; ; Shining, naked, Terry slowly stepped towards her sister. She reached ; out to the blaster, which was quivering, pointed at her chest.
; ; "Shhh, Dani. I just want you to be with me. It wants you to be with ; me. I'm your sister. You wouldn't shoot your sister?"
; ; Terry's hand touched the tip of the blaster. Dani didn't fire. Terry ; kept moving forward, slowly, her hand sliding along the blaster, to ; Dani's hand.
; ; Dani was shaking. "Please, Terry, don't. Don't."
; ; Terry's hand ran along Dani's arm, up to her shoulder. Terry stepped ; past the blaster. Her hands found the clasps holding on Dani's helmet.
; ; Dani dropped the blaster, raised her hands to pull at her ; sister's. "Stop, Terry." She was crying. "Oh, please stop."
; ; With a hiss, one of the clasps came undone; then the other. Terry ; pushed Dani's helmet up, and it swung over onto her back. "Shhhh, ; Dani. Shhh. It's okay. I would never hurt you. You are going to love ; being one of us. Shhh." She ran her fingers through Dani's pageboy-cut ; brown hair, lifting it up, holding it.
; ; Dani felt something drop onto her, and shrieked.
; ; Like lightning, Terry grabbed Dani's arms as they fought to pull the ; huge slug off of the back of her neck. The girls wrestled, Terry ; pulling Dani's arms away from her head, as Dani tried to shake the ; slug off of her. It stung her, then, several times, and Dani felt an ; incredible head rush, and found herself falling limply forward. Terry ; gently lowered her to the floor, as she blacked out.
; ; "Well, Dani, how do you feel?"
; ; Dani lay on the floor of the escape pod. Her left cheek was pressed ; into the slime on the floor. She focused her eyes.
; ; Terry stood above her, naked, slimy. Slugs were attached at various ; places on her body; her muscular legs, her stomach, her breasts. There ; were several clustered under her armpits, and a large one atop her ; glistening mons.
; ; There was a weight on the back of Dani's head. It belonged there.
; ; "I will obey."
; ; Terry squatted next to her sister. "Good. Is it firmly inside you?"
; ; "Yes. It is... inside my head. I will obey."
; ; "Yes. You are a host, now."
; ; "Yes. I am a... host."
; ; "You are now part of my species, Dani. You are not a human any ; more. You are a host. Your master is a part of you."
; ; "Yes. My master is part of me. I will obey. I am a host. I exist to ; obey."
; ; There was movement at Terry's crotch, and Dani watched as a slug ; emerged from her sister's pussy. It stretched slowly out, coated in ; mucous.
; ; Terry leaned to one side, and stuck her other leg out, across Dani; ; then she leaned forward onto the outstretched leg, drawing her body ; over across Dani as she lay on the deck. The slug, and Terry's pussy, ; were now right next to Dani's face. Dani watched as the slug wriggled ; out of her sister, and then felt it fall onto her own neck.
; ; There was no revulsion - instead, she felt protective and obedient to ; the needs of the slug. It was, after all, a superior species; her ; place was as its food and its slave. She stretched her neck out to ; give it freer access.
; ; She felt the sting as its mouthpiece dug into her flesh, and the ; barbed needle pushed into her bloodstream. It fed for a moment, and ; then Dani felt a second sting as its rear proboscis pushed into her ; neck. A moment later she could feel a cool rush as it discharged its ; waste back into her bloodstream.
; ; Dani smiled. Her first rider. Soon, she would be giving birth to her ; own, by which point this little one could be seated firmly on the back ; of some other host's head.
; ; Her sister's pussy hung there, a streamer of slime dropping lightly ; away to Dani's neck. The large slug sat fat and glistening atop her ; bare mons. Dani craned her neck to look at her sister, who was looking ; down at her.
; ; "Terry?"
; ; "Yeah Sis?"
; ; "Thank you for doing this to me." Dani rolled her head forward, ; extending her tongue, and placed her mouth square on her sister's ; pussy. She ran her tongue along Terry's labia, collecting a large ; helping of slime, and then began to suck, using her lips to work ; Terry's clit out, in and out. Terry moaned, and leaned back on her ; hands, pushing her cunt into her sister's face.
; ; Dani slowly walked down the corridor of the scout carrier. Her pageboy ; haircut was carefully arranged to conceal the master firmly attached ; to the back of her head. Inside her, she could feel the weight of the ; eggs filling her womb, as they shifted and moved within her. The ; Vector had filled her quite full with them, as Dani crouched dog-style ; in front of it and its long proboscis pumped the parasite eggs in.
; ; She smiled at the memory. Her master had been only newly seated, and ; she remembered her eagerness to obey as it instructed her to drop her ; pants and kneel in front of the vector. She hadn't even removed her ; pants, just walked in front of the vector (which immediately began ; poking its ovipositor at her, smelling her suitability as a host), ; unfastened her safety belt, hitched her pants and underwear down to ; her knees, and dropped to the floor, presenting her naked ass to the ; vector.
; ; Her master, still feeling a bit odd and heavy on the back of her head, ; did not bother to sent approval. Dani realized some part of her mind ; had expected appreciation from her master, and she chastised that ; part. She was host, and existed to obey. Master did not ask, and offer ; encouragement when host's behavior was proper. Master instructed, host ; obeyed. That was all.
; ; The vector, though well equipped with sensory organs, was nearly ; mindless, and was still poking its ovipositor around Dani's rear. Dani ; reacted to this realization by spreading her legs as far apart as ; possible, and pressing her chest to the deck, which pushed her pussy ; up directly at the vector. It immediately found her opening, and ; slithered the ovipositor into her cunt.
; ; It felt wonderful.
; ; The pointed tip of the ovipositor forced its way past her cervix, and ; flowered open. Immediately, the vector began spewing forth in the tiny ; parasite eggs in their thousands. Dani's hips began twitching ; backwards as she was filled, the ovipositor rhythmically pumping in ; her cunt.
; ; Terry walked back into the room. "Feels great, doesn't it?"
; ; "Oh! Fuck.... Yes! Uh!"
; ; "It's a shame you shot that other vector. Our collective wombs could ; probably hold many more eggs than this one vector alone has right ; now."
; ; "Oh, God, yes. Oh! Sorry... didn't know..."
; ; "Of course not. I have prepared my vacsuit. It's a shame, but we will ; probably have to leave the vector behind. No matter - once we are both ; full of eggs, we will doubtless birth several more. I have filled the ; third vacsuit with several dozen adult masters, ready for ; attachment. Your scout carrier has a crew of how many?"
; ; "Four-ohhhhh-fourteen."
; ; "Great. We should be able to infect the entire crew almost ; immediately."
; ; "Ohhhh...."
; ; Dani smiled and waved at her friends and crewmates as she strode down ; the hall. The doctor had told her that she'd come down to see the ; rescued woman, but Dani had replied that she wanted to talk to the ; doctor in private, first. Lynette had agreed that Terry could wait on ; the ship until she had spoken to Dani. Dani's master felt secure on ; the back of her head.
; ; The door to the sick bay slid open, and Dani walked inside. It had ; only one bed, as a scout carrier rarely had to deal with more than ; routine accidents. Doctor Talverston - Lynette - was leaning on her ; desk.
; ; "So what's the deal, Dani?" asked the doctor, as Dani stopped just ; inside the door. "I'm really pretty eager to check out the woman you ; rescued. She wouldn't tell you her name? It's really kind of weird for ; me to not just meet you at your ship..."
; ; Dani ignored the doctor, and turned to the door panel. She quickly hit ; the key combination to lock it.
; ; "Dani, what are you doing? You really must want privacy - what's going ; on?"
; ; Dani turned back around. The thought flashed across her brain that her ; hair was working perfectly to disguise her master, and she smiled.
; ; "Goddamn, Dani, say something!" Lynette stood away from the desk, ; frowning.
; ; Dani pulled her taser from her bag and shot her. Lynette, totally ; surprised, simply looked at her stomach (where the shot had hit her) ; in shock, and then fell to the floor.
; ; Dani swiftly knelt by her prone form. "Don't worry, doctor. Soon you ; will understand everything." She reached under her skirt, and pulled ; the master from where it had been attached. Lynette's legs kicked ; weakly, and she made soft noises of protest.
; ; With one hand, Dani rolled Lynette onto her stomach, and swept her ; blonde hair up over her head. With the other, she placed the master on ; the back of Lynette's head. Lynette twitched violently, and Dani held ; her shoulders to the floor, with both hands now. The master pulsed as ; it attached itself.
; ; The intercom buzzed. "Doctor, are you there? Have you checked out the ; woman Dani rescued? Why aren't you answering your com unit?"
; ; Dani squatted next to the doctor. Lynette lay face down, her head ; turned to the side, mouth open slackly. A puddle of drool had expanded ; out from her open mouth. On the back of her head, her master pulsed, ; shrouded in fine blond hair.
; ; The intercom buzzed again. "Dammit, Lynette, what the hell are you ; doing? This isn't like you. I'm sending Rita and Buzz down."
; ; Lynette spoke. Her eyes were dead - only her mouth moved.
; ; "That won't be necessary, captain. I'm having a private conversation ; with Dani. Everything is fine. I will be checking out the rescued ; woman post-haste."
; ; "Lynette, answer your fucking com next time, okay? Private ; conversation or not."
; ; "Yes, captain. Lynette out. Intercom, off."
; ; Lynette's mouth stopped, and she lay motionless on the floor. Then she ; rolled over, and sat up, turning to face Dani.
; ; "What have you done to me?"
; ; "I put your master on you."
; ; Lynette's hands rose gently to the back of her head, and felt the ; large lump now securely rooted to her. Its carapace was already ; hardening.
; ; "Yes. It is my master. I can sense that. What is it?"
; ; "It is a parasitic life form that the mining ship discovered. We are ; its hosts."
; ; "Yes, I am its host. I will do whatever it instructs me to. It ; is... in my mind. Part of my mind."
; ; "We must infect the rest of the crew."
; ; "Yes, we must."
; ; "I have more than enough masters to infect the crew. We just have to ; get to them one at a time."
; ; "That should be trivial."
; ; "The woman I rescued - my sister - and I are each filled with the ; parasite's eggs. We should begin to birth more parasites rapidly. A ; number of them will be vectors, which are non-parasitic life forms ; that spawn the eggs, and lay them inside hosts."
; ; "Excellent. I... I will obey. I exist to obey. I am a host."
; ; "Yes, you are."
; ; "I will help infect all of the crew, and then we will all become ; impregnated with the parasite's eggs."
; ; "Yes, you will."
; ; "I... don't care about anything else. Just infecting the crew. And ; producing more parasites."
; ; The doctor looked at her hands for a moment, then up at Dani.
; ; "Dani, I.... Thank you. I... like being a host. I exist to obey. I ; only want to obey."
; ; "I merely obeyed, doctor. I am a host, and you needed to be taken. But ; you are welcome."
; ; The women looked at each other. Then Dani spoke.
; ; "Okay, doctor. Start summoning the crew in. One by one." She flipped ; up her skirt.
; ; Clustered, pulsing, along her inner thighs, were slugs the size of ; fists. ; ; END ; ;
