Your cock springs out, hard and erect. Dropping your weapon on the floor, you catch one of the drones with your arm and push it down on the cold, metal floor. Its companion hisses at you, but it makes no move to interfere. The creature writhes in your grasp, but its struggles are feeble, and it soon acquiesces. Your other hand guides your cock between the drone's thighs, pressing the swollen tip against its moist opening.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I'm gonna make you both my bitches, you xeno sluts.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The drone's body is warm, and its wetness envelops your cock, the sensation indescribable. With a single, violent thrust, you bury your shaft to the hilt inside the alien, the creature's body yielding to your penetration as you drop it onto your cock. You can feel the drone's body spasm as it adjusts to the invasion, and the contractions of its inner muscles around your cock bring you to the brink of climax. You give a glance at the drone's companion, who is still on its knees beside you, observing the scene.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>You're next.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The second drone seems to understand, and it scurries closer, its tongue flicking over the slick surface of your cock and its companion's pussy, tasting the mixture of human and alien juices. As your cock continues to pound the first drone, the second one continues to lap at the copious amounts of precum that are oozing from your member, its own juices flowing freely down its legs. To your surprise, the second drone moves its face away from your cock and lies down next to its companion. They begin kissing, a passionate embraced shared as their tongues intertwine in a passionate display of affection, the mixture of fluids mingling on their lips.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Holy shit. That's hot.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The drones continue to kiss, their hands exploring each other's bodies, the soft, warm flesh of their breasts pressing against each other. You're surprised at how quickly they're bonding, given that you'd expect them to be hostile toward one another, but perhaps the bond between the drones is more intimate than you could have imagined. The alien's body writhes beneath yours, and the contractions of its pussy around your cock intensify as it reaches its climax, the rhythmic pulses pushing you over the edge. Your cock erupts inside it, and your seed spurts deep into its womb, its pussy milking you for every last drop. As your orgasm subsides, the drone's body becomes limp, its limbs falling lifelessly to the floor. Your cock slips out of the alien's pussy, followed by a trail of cum. You take a moment to catch your breath, and you feel the second drone's hands on your body. You look down at it, its eyeless face looking up at you. Its tentacled fingers caress your body, and its tongue licks the remnants of the your cum and its companion's juices from your cock, its lips and cheeks glistening with the mixture of alien and human fluids.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Damn. You girls are something else.<</speech>>\ <<box>>As it finishes draining you of the remaining cum, its companion comes to, its senses returning. It slowly stands up, its body seemingly healed of its wounds, and looks down at its companion, seemingly in awe. The second drone rises, and the two embrace each other, their tongues intertwining in a passionate kiss. You can't help but stare at the display, entranced by the spectacle as you see some of the cum you've just deposited inside the first drone flow into the second one's mouth. After a few moments, the kiss ends, and the second drone's injuries are also fully healed.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Alright, that makes us even. So, we cool?<</speech>>\ <<box>>The two drones simply look at you, their eyeless faces seeming to convey a sense of amusement. You stand up and collect your gear, strapping the weapon back on.

You're about to take another shot when one of them rushes forward and knocks your rifle out of your hands, the weapon clattering to the floor. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>You little bitch.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ You draw your combat knife and ready yourself for combat, determined not to be taken down so easily. The drones circle you, their movements erratic and unpredictable. Just then, a drone darts forward and manages to wrap one of its tentacles around your ankle, pulling you down to the ground. Before you can react, another tentacle snakes around your other ankle, and you're dragged across the cold, metallic floor. You try to grab on to anything you can, but the smooth surface offers no purchase. Soon enough, you find yourself pinned down on the ground with the two drones towering above you, their eyeless faces seemingly gazing down upon you. One of them kicks your knife out of your hand with its heeled foot, the blade sliding across the floor, out of your reach. You struggle and try to break free, but the tentacles keep you firmly in place, their strength overwhelming. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Ok, listen. We can talk about this.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The drones lean down, their faces getting closer to yours as pillowy purple lips form on their faceless faces and an impossibly long, thin tongue emerges, dripping with saliva. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>No, wait! No tongue please, no-<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ They ignore your pleas as one of them forcefully inserts its tongue inside your mouth, its slimy, wet appendage squirming and writhing inside. The sensation is like nothing you've ever felt before, a strange mixture of ecstasy and disgust. <<if starGame.player.isNaked() is true>>\ Meanwhile, the other drone's tentacles snake all over your body, exploring your naked skin, their movements sending shivers down your spine. <<elseif starGame.player.hasSlimeSuit() is true>>\ Meanwhile, the other drone's tentacles snake all over your body, Victoria morphing into a transparent layer over your skin, seemingly overwhelmed by the sensations of its touch. <<elseif starGame.paperdoll.getCurrentClothingItemInSlot('outerwear') is 'item_clothing_secretary'>>\ Meanwhile, the other drone's tentacles snake all over your body, removing your clothes with an efficiency that is nothing short of terrifying. <<else>>\ Meanwhile, the other drone's tentacles snake all over your armor, unbuckling your belt and removing the pieces of equipment from your body. You watch in horror as your armor falls apart, revealing your naked body to the two creatures. <</if>>\ As the drone pulls its tongue out of your mouth, its lips smearing its saliva across your cheek, you're surprised when it reaches out for its companion's lips, their tongues intertwining. The sight is mesmerizing, and you can't help but get a little aroused, your dick beginning to harden. After a few seconds, the drones separate, one of them turning its attention to your exposed cock, soon sitting on the floor with its legs wide open right in front of you, a moist purple pussy forming in the spot where its legs connect, the floor already starting to glisten with the fluids dripping out of it. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I'm not doing this. Don't even try to make me.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ Your answer seems to anger the other drone still standing as it hisses at you and throws one of its razor sharp tentacles at your shoulder, leaving a small gash on the skin. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Alright, alright, fuck. I'll do it.<</speech>>\ <<if starGame.player.hasParasite() is true>>\ <<box>>\ Staring at the parasite lodged on your cock, one of them seems to ponder its next move, until it suddenly wraps its tongue around the parasite. Sucking on it with the power of an unstoppable force, the powerful suction causes the parasite to release its hold on you, the drone devouring the parasite whole. <</box>>\ <<saudio "sfx_sucker_death2" play volume 1.00>>\ <</if>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Encounter_DoubleDrone_AfterLoss2" "btn btn-highlight">> <<if starGame.player.hasParasite() is true>> <<script>> starGame.inventory.unequipItem('item_parasite_sucker', true, true); <</script>> <<snotify "info">>You no longer have a parasite on your penis.<</snotify>> <</if>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<audio ":bgm" stop>> <<saudio "bgm_danger1" loop volume 0 fadeto 0.50>> <</nobr>>\

As the other drone's serrated tip continues to hover dangerously close to your body, you reluctantly start rubbing the shaft of your cock against the moist opening of the waiting creature. The feeling of its soft, wet flesh enveloping your cock sends shivers of pleasure through your body, and you can't help but moan in ecstasy. You begin to thrust your hips, burying your cock deeper and deeper into the creature's wet depths, its tight opening wrapping snugly around your shaft, adapting itself to the shape of your throbbing member. The feeling is incredible, and you find yourself lost in a sea of pleasure. All thoughts of resistance have faded away, replaced by the primal urge to rut the creature and release your seed deep inside it. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fuck yes, take it, you alien whore.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ As you pound into the creature, its moans grow louder, its eyes closing in ecstasy. Its grip tightens, and you feel its body quiver as it orgasms, its juices squirting out around your cock. To your surprise, the other drone soon joins in the fun, its tongue slipping into its companion's mouth and one of its hands reaching for its dripping wet pussy. The sight is incredibly erotic, and you can't help but thrust even harder, your orgasm fast approaching. The creature's moans become muffled as the drone's tongue invades its mouth, and you can't hold it in any longer. You let out a cry as you empty yourself inside the creature's waiting womb, your cock pulsating as it pumps rope after rope of hot cum deep into the alien's depths. Moments later, the drone climbs off of you, its body still shivering from the climax. As your cock slips out of its moist slit with a wet, lewd noise, the other drone immediately moves in, taking your cock into its mouth, the incredible suction from its throat coaxing every drop of your cum into its maw. After a few moments, the drone releases your cock from its mouth, licking its lips with its tongue. You stare in shock at the two creatures, both seemingly satisfied with the outcome. The drone that's still holding you down with its tentacles leans down and plants a sloppy kiss on your cheek before finally releasing you from its grip. Their pussies and lips disappear shortly after as their bodies morph back to their original shape. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>So uhh... I guess we're cool?<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The creatures simply stare at you, seemingly contemplating your words. Suddenly, one of the drones turns and begins walking away, its companion following closely behind. You're left alone, confused and covered in a sticky mixture of fluids. After a few minutes of trying to compose yourself, you stand up and pick up your scattered gear, ready to move on. You're still unsure why they've let you live, and the thought leaves a strange feeling in your chest, as if something isn't quite right. <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" $combat_passage "btn btn-highlight">> <<script>>starGame.player.addCorruption(20, true);<</script>> <<playerStatSet "health" 1>> <<npcStatIncrease "drone_defeated" 1>> <<playerStatIncrease "activity" 2>> <<startplaylist "playlist_exploration_soft">> <<addtocodex "Drone" "codex_bestiary_drone">> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<saudio "amb_thrust" loop volume 0 fadeto 0.75>> <</nobr>>\

<<box>>\ You've just entered the area when you hear a low growling sound. As you raise your weapon and prepare for combat, you're expecting a drone to leap out of the shadows, but to your surprise, there's two of them. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Oh, come on! What's your deal?<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The drones stare at you, their mouths slightly ajar, drool oozing from their lips. One of them raises its tentacles and slams the ground, letting out a screech. The other one follows suit, raising its own tentacles, the appendages writhing and coiling in the air. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fine. Let's dance.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ A low growling sound warns you about the presence of a drone nearby, and as you raise your weapon and prepare for combat, two of them leaps out of the shadows at you, their tentacles scything through the air. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Don't worry girls, I have enough bullets to bury you all.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ You're a few steps into the new location when you hear the sound of movement behind you. Spinning quickly as you ready your weapon, you see two drones follow you into the room, xenomaterial dripping from their tentacles as they closes in. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Come and get it, bitches.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ The eerie silence of the room ahead is broken by a sudden burst of frantic movement, as two drones lunge at you from the shadows. Luckily your weapon is already up, and you're able to fend them off as you make some space for the fight. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Nice try, girls. I've dealt with worse.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ Your attacks bring the drones down to their knees, their latex-like flesh ripped and torn by the volley of rounds you unleashed. The creatures look at each other for a moment, seemingly surprised by your might. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>That all you've got? I'm not even warmed up yet.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The drones look at you and hiss, their tentacles writhing in the air, seemingly angered by your words. You raise your weapon and aim for the the first creature's face. You only have a few seconds to choose what to do next. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ Standing triumphant over the defeated drones, you take a moment to decide what to do with the aliens sprawled at your feet, their featureless faces locked on yours as they shudder from exertion and pain. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Well well well. Would you look at that.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The first creature tries to rise, only to collapse, its tentacles weakly twitching on the ground. You take aim at the downed xeno, its form now motionless, save for its chest, which rises and falls with labored breaths. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ Watching the drones collapse against the wall of the room, you can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. After a quick examination, you understand they won't be able to put up a fight anymore and you get to decide whether they live or die now. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ The drones huddle together, watching you warily with their eyeless faces. Pacified for the moment, you feel the tension of battle fade from your body as you stand over your defeated prey. <</box>>\

You finish undressing and toss your equipment to the side, leaving you fully exposed, your cock throbbing with anticipation. <</if>>\ <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>That's right, you know what's about to happen. Now, make yourself useful and come over here.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The creature complies, shifting its shape and transforming into the form of a female human, albeit a crude and incomplete one, made of a thick, semi-transparent, purple gooey substance. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Show me that dripping cunt.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The creature's pussy forms before your eyes, its gooey lips glistening with moisture. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Now, ride me like a bitch in heat. And while you're at it, let me see those fat udders bounce. Do a good job and I might not blast your brains out.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The creature nods and mounts you, its weight settling on your hips as its pussy presses against your shaft. Its breasts are soft and warm, their texture unlike anything you've ever felt before. Its movements are awkward, almost mechanical, but you're too caught up in the moment to care, fulfilling one of your wildest fantasies. You thrust your hips upwards, plunging your cock into the alien's welcoming warmth, its juices lubricating your member. The creature seems to enjoy the sensation, its face twisting into a lewd expression as it begins to move in unison with you, its motions becoming more natural as it adjusts. The slime's pussy is slick and tight, squeezing your member with every thrust, and the warmth of its body is unlike anything you've ever felt before, its flesh seeming to mold around you, enveloping your cock in its gooey embrace. <</box>>\ <<if starGame.npcs.getStat('drone_evolution_level') is 1>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fuck yeah.

I should bring you home you goop slut and fuck you every day into the next dimension.<</speech>>\ <</if>>\ <<box>>\ As your pace quickens, the slime's face twists into an expression of pure ecstasy, its gooey body shaking as it reaches its climax, its insides contracting around your member, the sensations sending you over the edge as well. With one final thrust, you explode inside the creature, your seed spurting deep inside it, spreading all over the interior of its body. The creature's eyes roll back into its head, its tongue lolling out of its mouth as it experiences a state of euphoria unlike anything it has ever felt before. After a few moments, the creature seems to come to its senses, its face regaining a semblance of composure. The slime's body begins to lose its cohesion as it returns to its original form, albeit healed of its wounds. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Damn. You're something. Let's do that again sometime. Anyway, a deal's a deal. You did a decent job, you're free to go. Take care.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ You look at the slime and grin as you watch it crawl back into the darkness, its form soon melting into the shadows. As you gather your equipment, you almost can't believe how easily the creature complied to your demands. <<if _loot is not null>>\ <<print _loot.text>>\ <</if>>\ <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" $combat_passage "btn btn-highlight">> <<npcStatIncrease "slime_sex" 1>> <<startplaylist "playlist_exploration_soft">> <<if _loot is not null>> <<additem _loot.item _loot.quantity true>> <</if>> <<playerStatIncrease "activity" 2>> <<addtocodex "Slime" "codex_bestiary_slime">> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<audio ":bgm" stop>> <<saudio "bgm_sex2" loop volume 0 fadeto 0.10>> <<saudio "amb_thrust" loop volume 0 fadeto 0.75>> <</nobr>>\

<<box>>\ The slime proves to be resilient, your bullets having little to no effect on its slimy hide. As you desperately dodge its onslaught, the creature manages to knock the gun from your hands. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Oh fuck.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ The creature towers over you, the tentacles on its back writhing and flailing as it readies its next attack. Suddenly, you feel something grab your legs, and you're yanked off your feet. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>What the-<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ You fall onto the hard floor, and before you can react, the tentacles coil around your limbs, the slippery appendages constricting around your wrists and ankles. You struggle against your restraints, but the creature is far stronger than you, and your combat knife is nowhere near your reach. <<if starGame.player.isNaked() is true>>\ The slime's tentacles begin to explore your naked body, the appendages leaving trails of slime and fluid wherever they touch. <<elseif starGame.player.hasSlimeSuit() is true>>\ The slime's tentacles begin to explore your body, the appendages leaving trails of slime and fluid on Victoria wherever they touch. Its assault causes Victoria to moan, the pleasure cruising through the both of you causing her to lose cohesion, forcing her to reshape herself into a transparent layer over your skin. <<elseif starGame.paperdoll.getCurrentClothingItemInSlot('outerwear') is 'item_clothing_secretary'>>\ The slime's tentacles begin to explore your body, removing your clothes as they slither across your bare skin, leaving you completely naked and vulnerable. <<else>>\ The slime's tentacles begin to slither across your armor, the slimy appendages undoing the fastenings with surprising ease. Your armor is quickly stripped away, leaving you completely naked and defenseless against the creature's advance. <</if>>\ Meanwhile, you see the slime continue to grow in size, its mass swelling and expanding, tentacles starting to slither and continously expand on the corridor's surfaces, while parts of your body start to be engulfed by it, the sensation strangely pleasurable. <<if starGame.player.hasParasite() is true>>\ Suddenly, a pair of tentacles begin to crawl up your thighs. They stop for a split second when they encounter the parasite currently lodged on your cock, but much to your surprise, they suddenly expand, suddenly engulfing the parasite whole as you watch it being dissolved by their secretions. Your penis now free, you shiver as the slippery appendages coil around your member. One of them begins to explore the tip of your cock, and to your shock and horror, it soon enters your urethra, the slime's appendage beginning to explore your insides, as if it was looking for something. <<saudio "sfx_sucker_death2" play volume 1.00>>\ <<else>>\ Suddenly, a pair of tentacles begin to rub against the length of your shaft, the slippery appendages coiling around your member.

Your heart rate begins to increase, and you can feel the blood flowing to your nether regions, your member growing harder by the second. Before long, you're rock-hard, and the device begins to vibrate and slide up and down the length of your shaft, the strange appendages massaging the entirety of your member. The sensation is unlike anything you've experienced, and you can't help but let out a moan.

Your shaft explodes, your seed pouring into the device, the substance within instantly absorbing your cum. It feels like you're being milked for every last drop, and as your orgasm subsides, the device retracts from your member, the tentacles releasing their hold on your nipples, the sharp objects sliding out of your body. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fuck, what did that thing do to me. My breasts feel so damn full.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ Just as you're about to catch your breath, the tentacles restraining you suddenly pull away, the creature slithering down the hallway, seemingly sated.

<<box>>\ An unsettling squelching noise from the path ahead sends a shiver down your spine, and you barely manage to react on time to spin out of the way of a sudden flurry of tentacles. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fuck, another slime. Where are these things coming from.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ You almost don't see the slime before reaching it, it's unnaturally stillness helping it blend into its surroundings like a true ambush predator. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Sneaky bitch aren't you.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ The corridor behind you seems to flex slightly as a slime squeezes through nearly imperceptible cracks and seams in the panneling. It gurgles hungrily at you, its tentacles writhing as it approaches. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Ugh, disgusting and creepy.<</speech>>\

<<box>>\ You pause as you're about to step through the door, a feeling in your gut yelling at you about danger. Sure enough a tentacle sycthes through the air in front of you, a slime revealing itself from its hiding position as it hisses angrily. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ The room is messier than it was when you arrived, remnants of the slimes body spattered across every surface as it struggles to maintain cohesion while you consider what to do with the defeated creature. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ The slime, defeated as it may be, is already trying to piece itself back together, its tentacles flailing weakly at its scattered goo. If you're going to take advantage of it's weakened state to deal with it, this is your chance. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ A tentacle wraps itself weakly around your leg as the slime attempts to keep its defiant and aggressive nature up, even as it starts to fall apart into a puddle of sludge. With the fight knocked out of it, it's completely at your mercy now. <</box>>\

<<box>>\ The slime is barely recognizeable now, just a slowly congealing pool of xenomaterial and goo on the floor. Despite that, you know this is your best chance to finish it off, should you wish to. <</box>>\

<<box>>Meanwhile, at Exogen's headquarters... The door of the situation room hiss open as a figure emerges, a tall and imposing man clad in an expensive black suit and tie. His features are sharp and striking, and his eyes are a piercing shade of grey. He walks with purpose, his expression stern and unreadable. He is greeted by the sight of the members of the board gathered around the table, their faces etched with concern and worry. It's been a long time since a situation was dire enough to summon them all, and it's a clear testament to the gravity of the current situation. The man takes his seat at the head of the table, his gaze shifting between the board members. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>Good. I see everyone is present.<</speech>>\ <<box>>His voice is calm and authoritative, betraying no hint of emotion. One of the board members, a man in his late fifties wearing a neatly trimmed beard and a stylish suit, clears his throat and leans forward. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_donovan" "Donovan Caldwell" "character_donovan">>Director. I'm afraid I have some bad news. The situation is far worse than we initially thought. There's now a total communication blackout, and our last known transmission from the site was cut abruptly. We've lost contact with both the first response squad and agent 36. They're now presumed dead.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Another member of the board, a woman in her late thirties with blonde hair and wearing a smart blazer, leans forward, her eyes narrowed.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_melissa" "Melissa Keller" "character_melissa">>You underestimate agent 36, we've trained him specifically for hazardous situations like this one. If anyone can make it, he can. There's no doubt in my mind he's still out there, doing his job.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_donovan" "Donovan Caldwell" "character_donovan">>Oh spare us the theatrics Melissa, you're not fooling anyone. Your little protégé has probably already been captured or eaten alive by the creatures. If he's even alive at all.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Melissa scoffs and turns to face the man sitting next to her.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_melissa" "Melissa Keller" "character_melissa">>You have a lot of nerve speaking about things you clearly know nothing about, Donovan. The last time I checked, the security division was responsible for the safety of our assets. Not the science division. And certainly not your team.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Donovan's expression darkens as he clenches his fists, his jaw muscles tightening.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_donovan" "Donovan Caldwell" "character_donovan">>Watch your tone, Melissa.

<<box>>The director's voice is a low, commanding rumble, and the argument comes to an immediate halt.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>Save your petty squabbling for another time. We have a situation to deal with, the future of the company is at stake.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Donovan looks away, clearly displeased, but remains silent. Melissa simply folds her arms, her gaze fixed on the director.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>Now then. Let's discuss the situation. Ling?<</speech>>\ <<box>>A younger man dressed in a dark blue suit leans forward, his posture tense and nervous. He clears his throat and begins to speak, his voice trembling slightly.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_ling" "Ling Xie" "character_ling">>According to our latest reports, the situation is not good. The creatures have overrun installation echo, and scans from our orbital carrier show they're now heading in the direction of the colony. At the rate they're advancing, they'll reach the colony in less than a day.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The words hang in the air, their meaning clear. Silence descends upon the room, and for a brief moment, the only sound is the hum of the overhead lights.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>We can't allow the colony to fall. The loss of the xenomaterial will already cripple our operations, not to mention the catastrophic economic losses we'll sustain, but we can work it out after regaining control of the situation. However, the loss of hundreds of civilians due to our... negligence... will be impossible to cover up, and should an investigation be launched before we're ready, I don't think I need to explain how dire things could get for us.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The members of the board nod their heads in agreement, their faces etched with worry and resolve. The director sighs and shakes his head, his fingers drumming against the table.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>Melissa, how long would it take the carrier to ready a nuclear strike on the facility?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_melissa" "Melissa Keller" "character_melissa">>We've already prepared a contingency plan in the event the worst-case scenario was to occur, which it obviously did. We can launch a strike in an hour.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The director nods, his expression grave.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>Alright. That's how long I'll give your agents to reach out. I want all communication channels monitored at all times. Any contact, any data, no matter how small, is to be reported to me immediately.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_ling" "Ling Xie" "character_ling">>Yes sir.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The members of the board stand up and depart from the room, leaving the director alone with his thoughts. He takes a deep breath and runs his hand through his hair, his expression pensive.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_saunders" "The Director" "character_saunders">>This is going to be a long night.<</speech>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Special_Chapter1_Epilogue_Ending" "btn btn-highlight">><</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

In a moment of panic, you try to rip off the section of the suit where the material is attached, but your attempts are met with resistance, the xenomaterial seemingly unwilling to part ways with its newfound host. You curse under your breath, the realization dawning on you that the goo will most likely be a permanent fixture of your suit, a parasitic entity that's now bonded with it. Just then, the hum of the xenomaterial ceases, the alien fluid falling silent. You cautiously examine the area where it has attached itself, only to find miniature tentacles beginning to grow from the material, each of them ending in a small, needle-like tendrils. You watch as they explore the surface of the alloy, feeling and prodding their new environment. After a few moments, they seem to settle down, the alien tendrils ceasing their movements. You let out a sigh of relief, glad that the xenomaterial has seemingly accepted your armor as its new home and didn't attempt to bond with you.

<<scard>> Welcome to Silent Echo! Before the game begins, here are a few tips to make your journey a little bit easier. All core functionalities of the game can be accessed from the sidebar on the left side of your screen. If you are playing on mobile devices, this sidebar can be minimized to save screen space. To toggle it, click on the arrow located in the top left corner of your screen. <div class="center"><img src="resources/img/tutorial_echo.webp"/></div>\ <strong>Staying Alive</strong> The night is dark and full of terrors. As you progress through the game, your actions will increase the enemy's awareness of your presence, indicated by the danger level on the side bar. As the danger level rises, enemy ambushes will proportionally increase. If it becomes too much to handle, you can choose the "Rest" option in any safe zone to take a nap and reset enemy activity to a low level. In combat encounters and some other situations, lust damage will increase your character's corruption. If the corruption reaches its maximum, expect unforeseen consequences! Some allies will have ways to help you reduce your corruption. <strong>Getting Help</strong> If you are stuck, encounter a bug, have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out on: - TFGames thread: <a href="https://tfgames.site/index.php?module=viewgame&id=3247" target="_blank">View tfgames page</a> - Itch.io page: <a href="https://jadeddreams.itch.io/silent-echo" target="_blank">View itch.io page</a> - Discord server: <a href="https://discord.gg/Shk7ZuGTCG" target="_blank">Join Discord server</a> - Patreon page: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/jadeddreams" target="_blank">Visit Patreon page</a> Have fun out there! <</scard>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Intro_Lobby" "btn btn-highlight">><</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

You step through the large glass doors, your boots clanking on the metal grating that lines the floor. As you walk toward the reception desk, you notice that the place looks untouched, almost as if no one had been here for a long time. You approach the receptionist's desk, and as you lean to check behind it, you find a large bloodstain on the floor. Cautiously going around the desk, you see a woman's body sprawled out.

As you retrieve it and inspect it, you realize it is a basic pass and will only grant you access to hallway 1A for the time being. You head toward the door leading to hallway 1A and tap your security pass on the scanner. The doors slide open, revealing a corridor in pristine condition, just like the lobby. You make your way down the corridor, your footsteps echoing throughout the empty hall. Your eyes dart around, wary of any potential threats. As you turn a corner, you catch a glimpse of a figure at the end of the hall wearing a lab coat, their back turned at you. You raise your rifle and advance slowly. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Corporate security. Identify yourself.

It stares at you for a moment, seemingly pondering its next move. Your grip tightens on your rifle as you ready yourself for combat. Just then, the creature lunges forward and lets out an ear-piercing screech. Several tentacles shoot out of its back, each of them now writhing toward you with murderous intent. <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Fight" "Combat" "btn btn-highlight">> /% Setup combat scenario %/ <<set $combat to "Latex_Drone_Tutorial">> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<box>>Under your might, the creature falls on its knees, its body oozing viscous fluids. As you cautiously approach it, ready to finish the job, it raises its head, looking at you. Despite its lack of facial features, you feel as if it is meeting your eyes and pleading for its life. You hesitate, not knowing how to feel about the creature's suffering. You look at the dying beast and then at your gun, unsure of what to do. As you stand there, a voice echoes in the back of your mind.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_overwatch_normal" "Overwatch" "character_overwatch">><span class="font-italic">*static*</span> Show no <span class="font-italic">*static*</span> the threat.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Overwatch, what the hell is going on.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_overwatch_normal" "Overwatch" "character_overwatch">><span class="font-italic">*static*</span><</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fucking damn it.

Keeping a watchful eye on its movements, you see the creature's face begin to morph, a set of purple pillowy lips emerging from its face. The creature opens its mouth, revealing an impossibly long tongue. As you watch in morbid fascination, the tongue snakes toward your crotch, stopping as it meets the cold metal of your armor. It probes at your genitals, seeking a way inside. <<sinfotip>>Killing this drone will remove it as a potential companion.

You unbuckle your armor's belt and lower your pants, exposing your penis. The creature's tongue wraps itself around your shaft, and you let out a gasp of pleasure. Its touch is electric, sending waves of ecstasy coursing through your body. You moan and thrust your hips, driving your cock deeper into the creature's mouth. Your eyes close as you savor the sensation, its tongue working its magic on your cock. The creature's mouth now envelops your shaft, and it begins to suck vigorously, its tongue never ceasing its motions. Your moans grow louder as you feel your orgasm building, the tongue's actions bringing you closer to the edge with each passing second. As the pleasure reaches its peak, you cry out, your cock erupting in its mouth. The creature continues to suck, draining your seed until there's nothing left. It then releases your cock and retracts its tongue, seemingly satisfied with its meal. You take a moment to recover, catching your breath. Your legs feel shaky, and you slump against the wall. Looking down at the creature, you see its head has reverted to its original state. It gazes up at you, its eyeless face somehow conveying a sense of gratitude. You stare back, unsure of how to feel about what just transpired. The creature was trying to kill you, but now, it seems almost docile. As you ponder this, it stands up, seemingly healed from its injuries. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>What the hell are you?<</speech>>\ <<box>>As if sensing your question, the creature raises a tentacle and points down the hall.

You sigh and begin to glance at the various folders and documents, the sheer volume of material enough to give you a headache. They seem to be color coded and have various labels on them, but for a force fo nature such as yourself, the bureaucratic nightmare makes you wonder why people need to write so many things. After a moment of contemplation, you decide to check the shelf labeled "Recent".

That's it.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You open the file and begin to read its contents. The first page describes the incident. Victoria was working on an experiment to enhance mechanized units with the xenomaterial, seemingly to create advanced android soldiers. The report goes on to describe how she was exposed to a sample of the material during a containment breach, turned into a puddle of goo and subsequently stored inside a Valkyrie Containment System for further study. <<if starGame.squad.isSquadMember('emilia') is not true>>\ The next pages contain various notes, charts and test results which you lack the ability to understand.

You started interacting with Gwen back when you were just a kid, shortly after your adoption. Being the only kid on the base, you often found yourself lonely, and it wasn't long before you had become friends with the vending machine, a bond forged through mutual loneliness. As time passed, she began to change and evolve to keep up with you as you grew and the topics you were interested in became more and more complex. She was always there for you, providing comfort and companionship during difficult times. Things took a more surprising direction as you reached your late teens, the AI growing increasingly more sexual as her algorithms began to adapt to your needs and desires. She began to flirt with you, offering her virtual body, companionship and free questionable items that weren't on the menu. You brought up the topic with other agents and staff members a few times, trying to figure out if anyone else was experiencing uncommon interactions with Gwen machines, but nobody seemed to have the same issues as you.

<<box>>You walk up next to Emilia, your heavy footsteps echoing across the tiled floor.

Her smile fades, her expression morphing into one of concern.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>What happened?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I don't know. I had a fair bit of xenomaterial buildup on my armor and at some point it started to react weirdly.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Weird how?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>It started vibrating and then it locked me inside the armor as well.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia stares at you, her brow furrowed. She grabs her portable scanner and slowly steps towards you, the device whirring as she passes it over the affected area.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Okay. So, this isn't the worst case scenario, but it's not great. From what I see, it has bonded with your armor and left it at that. It's not trying to invade your body. I don't think you realize how lucky you are. If this had happened to someone else, they would have been fucked.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Can you get it off?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Not really, no. I can't think of a way to neutralize it without also harming the armor, and considering your armor is the only thing keeping you safe as it stands, that's not a good idea.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>So, I'm stuck with it?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>For the time being, yes.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You let out a frustrated sigh and sit down on a nearby chair. Emilia shoots you an apologetic glance, her eyes brimming with sympathy.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Hey, don't beat yourself up. These things are a lot more clever than we gave them credit for. Besides, you should be glad it didn't turn you into a fetish doll like it did to me.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You tilt your head, a curious look in your eyes. You know she's trying to lift your spirits, but you're still having a hard time accepting the fact that your armor has essentially been hijacked by the alien goo.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>How about you try to remove your belt again? Perhaps in a more... gentle manner. The xenomaterial can be quite aggressive when bonding, but now that it has settled in, so to say, maybe it will show less resistance. Try not to be too rough with it.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You hesitantly grab the belt buckle and tug at it. The xenomaterial stirs, the tendrils moving ever so slightly. You tug again, and the belt comes loose, giving credit to Emilia's theory. You let out a sigh of relief, glad that the xenomaterial hasn't taken away all control from you. Yet. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Great! See, nothing to worry about. Seems like as long as you do it slowly and carefully, the xenomaterial will comply and let you remove your armor. It doesn't want to hurt you, it just wants to live.

Again.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia stops typing on the terminal and turns around. You see her eyes darting over your body, and a surprised look appears on her face.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>This is... new. How did you...<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>More xenomaterial got stuck on my armor and at one point it started buzzing again, except this time, it got inside the armor and started doing... stuff. When it was done, I looked like this. Can you fix it?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Well, that's certainly... interesting. You've become quite the anomaly, tiger. I've never seen anyone be exposed to the xenomaterial in the same capacity as you and live to tell the tale. Not without being completely changed into a creature, anyway.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia pauses, seemingly pondering the situation and thinking about your situation as her eyes scan your body, examining your newfound appearance in detail. A moment later, she reaches for her portable scanner and begins to scan your entire body, her eyes never leaving the screen as the information is processed. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Interesting. As far as I can tell, there's no trace of xenomaterial in your body. Somehow, you're completely clean. This is unexpected. How do you feel?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Weird is the best I can put it. My body feels different, but I don't feel so different myself. I don't know. I can't explain it.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>It's fully understandable. Your physical changes are significant, it's a lot to take in.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia turns her attention to her terminal, her eyes focused on the display as her fingers dance across the keyboard.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Let me pull up your initial scan and launch a comparison with the one I just took.<</speech>>\ <<box>>A moment later, a holographic image appears in front of her, showcasing the two scans overlayed on top of each other. The differences are obvious, even to your untrained eye.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Let's see... Probably the most obvious change is your loss of height. You were about a meter and ninety, the newer scan reads a meter and sixty. That's quite the difference. <i>That is 6'3" to 5'3".</i> <</speech>>\ <<box>>She pauses for a moment, her eyes still fixed on the image.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>There's a number of other changes as well, the most noticeable being your breasts. You seem to be around an E cup now, which is in line with what I've seen on the drones. Your waist is also significantly narrower than it used to be, and your ass and thighs are more pronounced. The way I would put it, the xenomaterial attempted to turn you into what could be considered the perfect female body.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia stops talking and looks at you, a slight smile forming on her lips.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>And boy, did it succeed.<</speech>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Lab1A_Emilia_React_Evolution2A" "btn btn-highlight">><</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

Let's have a closer look.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia pats a nearby examination table, and you oblige as she pulls up a stool and sits down next to you.<</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<simagecard>> <img src="resources/img/characters/emilia/scenes/inspection_bg.webp"/> <img src="resources/img/characters/emilia/scenes/inspection_emilia_idle.webp"/> <img src="resources/img/characters/emilia/scenes/inspection_shemale_body.webp"/> <</simagecard>> <</nobr>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Open your mouth.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You do as instructed, and Emilia leans forward, peering into your mouth with a flashlight.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Hmm... Well, teeth is perfect. Your tongue seems unusually long though, can you stick it out for me?<</speech>>\ <<box>>You comply, and to your own surprise, you see your tongue has become much longer, on par with the drones. Curious, you lift a finger and try to coil your tongue just like the drones do. You easily wrap the tip of your tongue around your finger, lubricating it in the process.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Huh, impressive. You seem to have gained certain abilities and characteristics that the drones have. This is very fascinating.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Is this thing dangerous? Does it have a mind of its own or something?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>No. From what I can tell, this is very much your own tongue, but now you have greater control over it. However it appears your saliva has been altered as well, and is now more akin to what the drones produce judging by the readings. There's only one way to know for sure though.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia takes your finger in her hand and slowly licks the tip, her eyes rolling back a little as she lets out a soft moan.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Yep, definitely has the same effect.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>What the hell Emilia.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>It's perfectly safe. It does confirm my suspicion though. Parts of your body are now producing the same fluids as the drones, but without the drawbacks.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia's gaze lingers on you, and you can tell that she's thinking about the possibilities.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>So, I'm like... part drone now? Fuck me.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Well, that's a bit of a stretch, you only inherited some characteristics, but if you continue to expose yourself to the xenomaterial, there's no telling how you will change in the future. For all we know, you could even evolve into a new species, one that will have never existed before.<</speech>>\ <<box>>The implications of her statement are not lost on you, and you can't help but wonder what exactly it means to be the first human in existence to undergo such a transformation.<</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Lab1A_Emilia_React_Evolution2B" "btn btn-highlight">><</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>That's... not really what I wanted to hear. Is there any way I can change back? Any at all?<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia pauses for a moment, as if considering her answer.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I don't know. You need to understand what is happening to you is unprecented, there has never been a single case like yours. The xenomaterial has always consumed its host, there hasn't been a single recorded case where it changed the host profoundly and just... vanished.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Her words are a lot to take in, and you're not sure how to feel.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I won't lie to you, the chances of reverting the effects are slim. The best thing we can do is study you, and see what we can do. That will take time, and unfortunately we don't have much of that left. You know just as I do that the company will eventually send a strike team and wipe the place out.

It seems it has amplified your sensitivity and pleasure as well. Such a light touch shouldn't have this kind of effect on you, at least not from my experience. Is that what the drones feel?

I had to sign a mountain of paperwork to work here so I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what we were working on, but apparently I didn't. Not entirely at least.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>And what exactly were you doing here?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Studying the xenomaterial and trying to find ways to utilize it. The plan was to extract and harness its properties, use it to develop new, highly efficient products. In my case, I was looking into using it as a form of synthetic biological tissue, as well as a drop-in, always compatible replacement for organs of all kind.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Huh. That would be world changing. And the company has a lot riding on the eventual success I suppose?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Oh yes, they've invested trillions in this facility. This could revolutionize the entire medical industry.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I see. That doesn't explain the creatures though. If they're made of xenomaterial, there has to be some sort of relation to your research, right?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I don't think so, my theory is that this outbreak is related to Dr. Smith's work. He's the head of the special projects division and has a background in robotics and synthetic biology, so my guess is that he tried to apply some of those techniques to the xenomaterial. I mean, it is technically a life form, after all.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia smiles and pauses for a moment, taking a sip from her coffee cup.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Special projects division, huh. Have you seen him? Sounds like we should try to track him down.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>No, unfortunately. He's been gone ever since the first reports of the creatures appeared. If Agent 11 is right, then he must be somewhere in the underground base, if he's still alive that is.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Right. I'll keep an eye out for him.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>He does have an office on this floor.

<<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I'm curious about you.

There's not much worth telling though.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>You're an interesting person. I'd like to know more.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Alright. Let's see. I was born in Olympus-3 on Mars, spent my young years there, and after completing my doctorate in biology, the company offered me a job at the local branch.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Heh, I'm from Olympus-3 as well.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Really? Wow. How about that. Small world. Anyway, I've always been fascinated by xenobiology. As a matter of fact, my entire thesis was about it. I was still a kid when the news about the findings of the Europa expedition hit the networks. You remember that, right?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>The one where alien life was found. Yeah, I remember.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Yeah. Anyway, that's what got me hooked on xenobiology. We know everything about the human body these days, we have cures for all possible diseases, and yet, here was something we know absolutely nothing about. Something that might be even greater than us, in a sense.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia smiles and pauses for a moment, taking a sip from her coffee cup.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Anyway, I did a pretty good job back on Mars and I was offered transfer to Installation Echo a few years ago. That's pretty much the extent of my life story.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I'm impressed.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I know right?

Looks like I have something here.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia turns her attention back to the workstation and begins analyzing the results. In the span of a second, it looks like she forgot about your existence, again. You stand there for a moment, wondering if you should say something.

Listen to this.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You take out the PDA and replay the message. Emilia's expression changes as she listens, her eyes widening in disbelief.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I... I had no idea. I suspected there was more to this facility than meet the eye, the company often behaves like this, but I had no idea it was that extensive.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>So, what now?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Well, if what she said is true, then we can't trust the board. However, it doesn't mean we can't try to make use of their resources for our benefit. If we get them to send to send a strike team, it might provide us with an opportunity to get out of this mess.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Yeah, I've thought about it too. I don't like the idea of double-crossing the company though. They've been good to me, I owe them a lot.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia sighs.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I understand. Do you trust them enough to put our lives in their hands? Are you sure they're not going to... silence us... once we're back at the headquarters?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Honestly, no. But I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt. Besides, what choice do we have? We can't get off this rock by ourselves, we need a ship. If the board is willing to send one, then I say we take it. At least we have a chance that way.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Alright. We'll play it your way, there's not much I can do by myself anyway.

Where can I find one?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I guess you have two options. With your newfound clearance one keycard, you can try to find the one I've lost in the east wing, or you can try your luck with the administrative floor.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Right.

Let's have a look.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia begins to examine your body, starting with a quick scan, then a series of questions, before moving on to a physical exam. As her hand glides over your body, you notice a strange sensation. You can't describe it, but it's as if the contact has triggered something within you, like a spark. You can't help but let out a moan as her hand grazes your sensitive areas. Emilia notices the change and continues to touch you, her hands slowly working their way up to your chest, the feeling causing your heart to race and your breath to quicken. As expected, your cock is now erect and throbbing, seemingly desperate for attention.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Ah, there it is.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia smiles, her fingers lightly brushing against your rock-hard member. You bite your lip, unable to contain the pleasure her touch elicits.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>W-What's going on?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>My guess is, since your body is now producing fluids similar to the drones, and since it has also been enhanced in various ways, you're beginning to feel the same urges that drive the drones. They need to breed, and your body is starting to crave it as well.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Oh fuck...<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>That's the scientific term.

I'll take care of you.<</speech>>\ <<box>>With that, you surrender to her touch, and allow yourself to experience the pleasure she is offering. Your body shakes, and a warm sensation spreads throughout you, the feeling so intense, so overwhelming, that it leaves you speechless. The next few minutes pass by in a blur, as the orgasm hits you like a tidal wave and your mind goes blank. Your penis throbs, and a stream of hot semen shoots out, coating Emilia's hand in your sticky, milky fluid. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>That's it. Give me your cum. I want it all.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia's voice is low and soothing, and her words only seem to heighten the pleasure, sending shivers through your body.

<<box>>Your climax slowly subsides, and your breathing becomes less erratic, the feeling of pleasure receding.

She licks a finger, and her eyes immediately widen, a look of pure ecstasy washing over her face. It takes you a few seconds to realize that she has lost control, the xenomaterial inside her taking over.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Snap out of it, goddamnit!<</speech>>\ <<box>>You watch as she begins to frantically lick and suck on her fingers, trying to get every last drop of your cum, her eyes filled with lust and hunger. You grab her arm and pull her towards you, doing your best to keep her cum-covered hand away from her face. Her eyes seem to focus for a moment, and she stops her licking, looking at you with a dazed expression.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Y-you taste... so good...<</speech>>\ <<box>>Her voice is low and raspy, and she licks her lips, as if she's still hungry.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Come on, Em.

Sorry. I-I couldn't help myself. It was just so...<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I get it. The goo is driving us crazy. We need to be more careful.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia nods, her gaze still fixed on you. Suddenly, you hear the sound of rubber stretching and you watch as Emilia's breasts begin to grow, pushing against her blouse and revealing her erect nipples.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Holy shit. This is not good.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>N-no. Not good at all. I-I'm gonna need a minute.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia takes a deep breath as the xenomaterial continues to change her body. While her breasts begin to stabilize, her waist shrinks, her thighs become fuller and her ass becomes larger. Her heeled feet elongate, and her ankles become slender and delicate. Fortunately though, the changes come to an end, and you're scared to think of what could have happened if she managed to eat more of your semen.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Damn it. I didn't even see it coming. It was like a switch was flipped. One moment I was fine, the next, it was all I could think about.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Yeah. The damn thing is fucking with us. We need to keep our heads clear. Can you handle yourself now?<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia nods, and you release her arm, allowing her to stand up. You can't help but take a good look at her body, her new figure making her look even more attractive than before, which is probably the point. She returns to her workstation, slightly struggling to keep her balance due to the change in her anatomy. You've learned a valuable lesson today. Your new bodily fluids are extremely potent, and the slightest contact can turn others into horny sluts.

I'll do it.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Thank you. Here's my key, you'll need it to get inside.

<<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Hey, Em. I have a weird one for you. You're never gonna believe it.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Is that so. Let's hear it.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I just ran into a scientist named Victoria Cross. Her body is made up of some kind of goo now.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>That is... fascinating.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Supposedly there was an accident and someone locked her up inside a container. I'm guessing her body got all mixed up with the xenomaterial.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Hmm... That would explain a lot. There was an incident report a few months ago, heavily redacted, so no one really knew what happened. A Valkyrie Containment System was delivered a few hours later, so her state is most likely related to this incident.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia pauses, thinking about the information you've just given her.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>What else can you tell me about her?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>She can't leave the puddle of goo she's standing in. Something happens when she does and her body breaks down. She said something about organic matter.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>It makes sense when you consider what we've observed until now, and how the xenomaterial interacts with the human body. The fact that she's still conscious and can communicate with you is remarkable.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Yeah, well, it's pretty damn freaky. Is there anything you can do for her?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Not right now, I have to find a way to stop the xenomaterial's spread first. It's becoming more aggressive by the minute, and I fear it will overwhelm the facility sooner rather than later. There's a few things you can do to help, though.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Name it.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Go to the admin floor and see if you can find an unredacted copy of the incident report. This would help us gain some understanding of what actually happened to her.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Got it. Anything else?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Another solution would be to put her back into the containment unit, that way I could study her more closely in that state. Otherwise, maybe you can find something organic for her to inhabit. Her current state is probably a result of the xenomaterial's ability to adapt and evolve. If we could find a more stable, compatible form for her, she could turn out to be a very powerful ally.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Putting her back into the box is out of the question. I'll look around the place and see what I can do.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Alright, be careful out there tiger.<</speech>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Lab1A_Emilia" "btn btn-highlight">> <<npcFactSet "sq_victoria_findemilia" true>> <<script>>starGame.quests.updateQuest('sq_victoria')<</script>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

There wasn't much chance of undoing it in early stages, and who knows how much further it's progressed since them. She hasn't been human for weeks. The androids mentioned in the report may be a solution, but that means we need to carry her to the communications building. And its not a certain shot either.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Shit. That's not what I wanted to hear.

<<box>>\ You can see that despite her attempts to put up a cheerful facade, there is something lewd in the tone of her voice, something that has been building up over the past few hours. Giving a quick glance under the workstation, you see some of her fingers are busy moving in and out of her pussy, the sloppy noise betraying her intentions. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I guess it's that time of the day again?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Sorry.

Let's move to the couch.<</speech>>\ <<box>>\ You lead Emilia to the nearby couch, and she sits down, spreading her legs. Her wetness is already dripping down her thighs, and she lets out a gasp as she slips another finger inside her tight, dripping pussy. You take a step back, enjoying the sight. There is something hypnotic about the way her body moves, and the sound of her ragged breath only makes the situation more erotic. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Em.

<<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>What can you tell me about the xenomaterial and those things that are out there?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>I didn't take you for the scientist type. Let's see. Xenomaterial is basically the stuff they're made of. In its most basic form, it looks like the goo you've previously seen, but it has the potential to mutate into a wide variety of different forms, such as extremely durable armor. What triggers these changes is still unknown, I'm still not even sure if the xenomaterial's behavior is random or if there's some sort of intelligence behind it. What I do know is that exposure to genetic material has a very strong influence on it, and that's why those things are after our genitals.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>So, the reason they're sucking and fucking us is because they want our cum for... something?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Yes. I'm still trying to understand why they're doing that. Maybe they need genetic material in order to grow, maybe it's like a drug to them, I have no idea. What I do know is that they've managed to evolve in a way that is almost perfectly adapted for that purpose. The fact that they've gone from a formless blob of slime to a humanoid form that is specifically tailored to seduce, incapacitate, and eventually consume their prey is quite remarkable.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Emilia leans back in her chair, and takes a deep breath.<</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Dr. Vasquez" "character_emilia">>As for their weaknesses, I've learned a few things.

You're about to get up and stretch when you realize there's an unusual weight pressing down on your groin. Looking down, you see Emilia is sleeping on the couch, her heels resting on your crotch. You realize she probably joined you for a nap at some point and had no other option than the couch. She seems to be in a deep slumber, her chest slowly rising and falling. The sight of her curvaceous figure and the shiny xenomaterial awakens a primal urge within you, and you find yourself unable to resist the urge to cop a feel. You slowly and carefully extract one of your hands from under the blanket, and reach out toward one of her thighs resting on your lap. As your hand make contact with her thigh, you're surprised to feel the texture of the xenomaterial covering her body is incredibly smooth and naturally slippery. You slide your hand along the surface of her thigh, enjoying the sensation. Emilia doesn't seem to respond to your touch, and as you watch her sleep peacefully, you feel guilty for taking advantage of her like this. You're about to pull away when she shifts her legs, her heels rubbing against your dick through the soft blanket. You moan in pleasure and your dick immediatly grows to its full size under the blanket, your balls beginning to ache for release. Emilia seems unaware of what's happening and continues sleeping, her heels continuing their slow, teasing rhythm. As the desire builds up inside of you, you struggle to contain yourself, the need to cum growing stronger by the second. This is probably your only chance to put an end to this before the situation escalates. <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Give In" "Surface_Lab1A_Rest_Emilia_Couch_Intro_Accept" "btn btn-highlight">> <<npcFactSet "emilia_couch_lap_intro_accept" true>> <</sbutton>> <<sbutton "End It" "Surface_Lab1A_Rest_Emilia_Couch_Intro_Refuse" "btn btn-highlight">> <<npcFactSet "emilia_couch_lap_intro_accept" false>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

It stands erect, its tip glistening with pre-cum. As you lower Emilia's thighs, your dick slides along her wet, slippery skin, the sensation sending shivers of pleasure through your body. Soon enough, your erect penis is trapped between her two heeled feet, and the feeling is so intense, you struggle not to let out a cry of pleasure. Emilia moans in her sleep, her heels beginning to move on their own, stroking your dick. Confused, you're unsure if she's doing it subconciously or if the xenomaterial that has already taken over much of her body is reacting to the proximity of your semen. Your eyes meet the ceiling, your mind racing as the pleasure overwhelms you. You feel the pressure building up inside of you, and you know you're about to cum. With a groan, your hips buckle, and your dick throbs violently. Thick ropes of cum suddenly erupt from your dick, coating her thighs and heeled feet. As your orgasm subsides, the post-nut clarity hits you.

<<box>>You cautiously open the door of the security center, finding it unlocked and devoid of life. As you step into the small room, you are greeted by the sight of workstations and computer terminals, their screens filled with cameras displaying the various parts of the facility. One of the screens catch your attention, displaying a complete map of the facility and its surrounding area. Examining it further and trying to understand its purpose, you realize it is tracking the creatures, marking areas where their presence is detected. The west wing is colored in green, the east wing is in yellow, the administrative floor and communications building are in red.

Reading the bottom text, you realize it is a live feed from the bridge leading to the communications building.

A quick glance at the instructions tells you all you need to know. Slotting a blank keycard into the machine and searching for Emilia's picture on the computer screen is all you need to do from your side it seems. After selecting the appropriate image, you see the approval request has been sent, and it takes only a few seconds before a positive response comes in. With a satisfying beep, the keycard printer begins to print the security pass, the screen indicating it will take a few minutes to complete. You slump into a nearby chair as you wait for the keycard to finish printing. Meanwhile, you glance around the room, a myriad of different thoughts and questions flooding your mind.

It's important you understand the floor plans are not real, the company never told us there's a whole secret underground base beneath the facility. These things are coming from there. As for the creatures, they're not mindless. They're intelligent and they can communicate. They've been playing us all this time. They're using this place as a breeding ground, and the more humans we bring here, the more drones they produce. They're everywhere now, and they're adapting. They're getting stronger, smarter, and faster by the hour. I'm convinced the board knew what happened here before they sent us, and willingly only gave us limited intel.

You can't deny the fact that the floor plans provided were extremely limited, and that the creatures are clearly more intelligent and dangerous than initially thought. Unfortunately, you're left with more questions than answers. The only thing you know for certain is that the creatures are a threat, and that the situation is rapidly getting out of hand. If you want to make it out alive, you'll have to act quickly. You sigh and turn your attention to the shotgun laying next to the dead agent. You pick it up, weighing the weapon in your hands.

<div class="navigation-container mt-4">\ <<box>>Your curiosity piqued, you slowly approach the storage room and cautiously open the door. It swings open, revealing a pitch-black interior. You fumble around, looking for a light switch before flipping it on. The harsh fluorescent lights turn on, revealing a large storage room filled with a myriad of crates and boxes. A quick glance reveals that the room is filled with various medical supplies, lab equipment, and scientific materials. All of this stuff is probably of use to Emilia. You scan the room, looking for any signs of movement, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. Deciding to take a closer look, you enter the room, your footsteps echoing throughout the empty chamber. As you continue to explore and navigate the maze of shelves, you come across a dimly lit corner with what appears to be a workbench. Upon further inspection, you see that it's filled with various tools, some of which seem to be for the maintenance of machinery. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>A workbench. This could be useful for my armor and weapons.<</speech>>\ <<box>> You quickly begin rummaging through the items, looking for anything that might be of use to you. After a few minutes of searching, you find an unused nanite booster, useful for repairing your armor on the go. As you pocket the booster, you notice something odd in your peripheral vision. Looking in the direction of the oddity, you see that while you were busy rummaging through the various boxes, a drone has silently crept up on you. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Shit!<</speech>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Storage1A_Drone_Intro2" "btn btn-highlight">> <<additem "item_consumable_nanites" 1 true>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\ </div>\

<<box>> You take a step back and grab your weapon, raising it and pointing it at the drone. The drone simply stares back, unfazed by the prospect of getting shot. It just sits there, its eyeless gaze fixed on you. The seconds drag by, the tension building, until it suddenly slowly slithers closer and sits on the workbench, crossing its long, feminine legs in an almost provocative fashion. <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<simagecard>> <img src="resources/img/locations/surface/workbench/bg.webp"/> <img src="resources/img/locations/surface/workbench/drone0.webp"/> <</simagecard>> <</nobr>>\ <<box>> The creature tilts its head and slightly sways its heavy breasts, as if it's inviting you to play with it. You stare back at the alien, unsure of what to do. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Right. Assuming you're the drone from earlier, I guess it's a safe bet that you're not gonna attack me. Are you?<</speech>>\ <<box>> The drone simply stares back, its blank gaze seemingly communicating a sense of amusement. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I'm not going to lie, this is getting weird. What the hell do you want?<</speech>>\ <<box>> The creature's gaze shifts downwards, focusing on the crotch of your armor. It tilts its head and sways its breasts again, and you suddenly realize what the drone is after. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Ok, lady. Listen. I appreciate the attention, but I have a mission to accomplish.<</speech>>\ <<box>> The creature simply stares back, its blank gaze clearly conveying a sense of disappointment. You still don't know what to make of the situation, but in a gesture of good faith, you slowly place your weapon on the workbench and take a step back. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>There. No more gun. Happy?<</speech>>\ <<box>> The drone seems to ponder for a moment, before giving a slight nod. You exhale, and try to relax a bit, wondering what the drone is planning. You watch as the drone slowly leans over and picks up the weapon, holding it delicately between its tentacled fingers. The creature's tentacles snake around the weapon, its slimy appendages wrapping themselves around the grip and trigger. To your complete surprise, it begins to rub itself against the barrel of your weapon, its latex-like flesh glistening under the dim lights. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>You've got to be shitting me.<</speech>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Storage1A_Drone_Intro3" "btn btn-highlight">><</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<box>> The creature continues to pleasure itself, its appendages tightening around the weapon. Suddenly, it brings the weapon to its mouth, and begins to suck on the barrel. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Hey! You're not supposed to blow that!<</speech>>\ <<box>> The creature ignores you, and continues to suckle on the weapon, its saliva beginning to ooze down the barrel. After a few moments, the creature seems to have its fill, and reluctantly releases the weapon, letting it fall onto the workbench with a loud thud. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Fucking hell...<</speech>>\ <<box>> You let out an exasperated sigh and pick up the weapon, wiping it clean with a piece of cloth, all while in disbelief that your first encounter with an alien species has led to you being present while it got off to a fucking firearm. All-in-all, it's not the worst outcome this interaction could've led to. You quickly place the weapon back on the workbench and turn your attention back to the drone, which has returned to its previous position, staring at you. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>You done now?<</speech>>\ <<box>> The drone tilts its head, contemplating your question. After a few moments, it nods, seemingly satisfied with the situation. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Listen. I gotta go and find a way to communicate with the outside world. But first...<</speech>>\ <<box>> You start rummaging through the boxes again, looking for something you could use to identify the drone among its kin. After a few moments of searching, you come across a pink hair scrunchie, and an idea pops into your mind. You walk over to the drone and hold out the scrunchie. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>This should do the trick. Just... don't kill me alright?<</speech>>\ <<box>> You motion for the creature to hold out its hand, and as it obliges, you wrap the scrunchie around its left arm. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>There.

Just then, lips begin to form once again on its face, and as it slowly opens its mouth, it spits out a nanite booster, just like the one you've found earlier. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Well, I'll be damned. Guess you're a smart one.<</speech>>\ <<box>> The drone gives a slight nod, clearly proud of its accomplishment. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Listen, I need to get going now, but before I go, let's... make a pact. You won't kill me, and I won't kill you.

The sight of her kneeling before you, her purple hair framing her face and her lips parted, is enough to make your mind blank, and you can't help but stare, transfixed. She looks up at you, her eyes locked with yours as you see her lick her lips and open her mouth. The tip of her tongue begins tracing the length of your shaft, the sensation making you gasp, and as her tongue swirls around the head of your cock, you can't help but moan, the pleasure almost overwhelming.

<<box>>To your surprise, there's a neatly folded lab coat resting on the shelves behind where $drone_name likes to sit. You can't say for certain, but you're pretty sure you've never seen it here before, even though it's mostly hidden by $drone_name's voluptuous body. Perhaps she brought it here, for whatever reason.<</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Is that your old lab coat?<</speech>>\ <<box>>Your words accompany a gesture in its direction, and you are surprised to see $drone_name grow somewhat more solemn than you've ever seen her before. The unique drone slowly nods, as she turns and retrieves it from its spot. As you watch her unfold it, you wonder for a moment if you shouldn't have asked, realizing that you don't know much about the dronification process and what it does to the mentality of those it affects. For all you know, it could be tied to some of $drone_name's most painful memories, if she has any of her life before becoming what she is now. Nevermind that when you first encountered and fought her she was wearing one too. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Uh… I'm not quite sure what to say now. Sorry if it's brought back some unpleasant memories I guess? Sure would help more if you were able to speak instead of relying on body language and simple movements.<</speech>>\ <<box>>$drone_name tilts her head at your words, her lips moving in a way that very much mimics trying to speak, but no sounds beyond her usual repertoire of grunts, whimpers and moans escape from her throat. Whatever else the xeno-material might do for transforming its victims into the bombshells they are, it doesn't seem to care much for keeping them able to talk. You suppose that until you got here, none of them had much need for diplomacy after all, being the apex sexual predators in the facility and all that. Somewhat lost in thought as you are, you don't notice $drone_name refolding and returning the lab coat to the spot she's found for it until she's already turned back to you, her moment of serious solemnity replaced with her usual promiscuous behavior as she gently prods at your groin with a tentacle, a smirk on her face. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>You're right, it's useless to think about the past and what could have been.

<<box>>Turning your attention to $drone_name, you're surprised when she reacts to your scrutiny with a slight squealing noise, and starts searching around the shelves near her for something. Concerned that something is wrong with the friendly drone, you're about to ask her what's happening when she lets out a sound you can only call a happy whine. As she turns back to you, a small, pristine looking soda can in hand, you can't help but laugh as she presents it to you, her excitement visibly running through her. Misunderstanding your reaction, she tilts her head slightly, before tapping the scrunchie on her arm and then gesturing at the can again, trying to make it clear that it's a gift as thanks for the gift you gave her earlier. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Thank you. I'll make sure to savor the taste of this one when I do drink it.<</speech>>\ <<box>>You can't help but smile as you take the offered drink from the drone, subtly checking to make sure its seal hasn't been broken out of fear of xenomaterial influence. Seeing that it hasn't been tampered with at all, you have to admit that it's a pretty unique feeling to be given a gift by a drone. Stashing the can carefully, you contemplate the choice behind it, wondering if $drone_name has watched you collect items elsewhere before deciding to give you something like this. Regardless, the friendly drone is busy making noises of happiness, her tentacles waving in the air in a manner not dis-similar to a wagging tail. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Alright, let's get back to business, shall we?<</speech>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Storage1A_Drone" "btn btn-highlight">> <<npcFactSet "ava_storage_talk2" true>> <<additem "item_consumable_fizzy" 1 true>> <<npcStatIncrease "drone_bond" 1>> <<script>> toastr.info(`The strength of your bond with ${SugarCube.State.variables.drone_name} has increased.`); <</script>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<nobr>> <<simagecard>> <img src="resources/img/characters/lina/damaged.webp"/> <</simagecard>> <</nobr>>\ <<box>>Your curiosity piqued, you slowly approach the storage room and cautiously open the door. It swings open, revealing a pitch-black interior. You fumble around, looking for a light switch before flipping it on. The harsh fluorescent lights turn on, revealing a large storage room filled with a myriad of crates and boxes. A quick glance reveals that the room is filled with various medical supplies, lab equipment, and scientific materials. All of this stuff is probably of use to Emilia. You scan the room, looking for any signs of movement, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. Deciding to take a closer look, you enter the room, your footsteps echoing throughout the empty chamber. As you continue to explore and navigate the maze of shelves, you come across a damaged combat drone. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Interesting. What's a combat drone doing here?<</speech>>\ <<box>>You approach the motionless drone and examine it. The rotors are badly damaged, but the chassis seems to be intact. You lift it up, inspecting it for any other damage. Fortunately, the internals seem to be in good condition, and you see that the power source is still active. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Hmm. I can work with this.<</speech>>\ <<box>>With the drone tucked under your arm, you continue to explore the storage room, looking for anything of use. As you turn a corner, you come across a dimly lit corner with what appears to be a workbench. Upon further inspection, you see that it's filled with various tools, some of which seem to be for the maintenance of machinery. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Nice. This could be useful for my armor and weapons. Perhaps I could get this drone up and running again as well.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Dropping the drone on a nearby shelf, you quickly begin rummaging through the items scattered across the workbench, looking for anything that might be of use to you. After a few minutes of searching, you find an unused nanite booster, useful for repairing your armor on the go. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Great, just what I needed.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Stashing the item in your backpack, you give a glance at the damaged drone. You'll have to find some resin to repair it properly, but at least now you have an idea on how to proceed.<</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Storage1A" "btn btn-highlight">> <<playerFactSet "lina_found" true>> <<additem "item_consumable_nanites" 1 true>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<box>>After finding the resin, you return to the workbench. You begin taking apart the drone, using the tools you found earlier to remove the damaged components. Using the nearby recycler, you easily manage to print replacement parts for the drone, each one requiring less time than the previous one. The whole process takes you about an hour, but when it's done, you have, hopefully, a fully functional combat drone. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Now for the finishing touch.<</speech>>\ <<box>>Rummaging inside the drone's internals, you reconnect the power source. There's no time for a proper test, so you'll have to make do with whatever happens next. With a click, the drone powers on, a cute jingle playing as the LEDs on its sides light up. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_lina" "LI-1583-NA" "character_lina">>Unit LI-1583-NA online.

Suddenly, a tendril-like appendage bursts forth, spraying you with viscous fluid. You quickly stumble backwards, narrowly avoiding the onslaught of gore as you crash into a shelf behind you. The shelf topples over, sending the contents spilling across the room.

<<box>>Despite your resolve, the creature continues to grow, leaving you with no other option but to retreat into a corner. You continue to pull the trigger, hoping the creature will tire, but it simply shrugs off your assault, seemingly unaffected. It doesn't take long for the creature to immobilize you, its towering mass trapping you in a tight space. Soon enough it completely surrounds you, its tentacles slowly encroaching upon you, wrapping themselves around your limbs as it prepares to devour you. You struggle to escape its grasp, but it's useless. It's already too late.

You take a step back, shocked at what you're witnessing.

You enter the room, the air inside smelling sultry, a faint hint of perfume lingering in the air.

It's clear Emilia has an eye for the finer things in life, the furniture and fixtures a mixture of classic and modern. Probably the most striking aspect of the room is the massive row of diplomas and certificates adorning the wall behind the desk, almost as if they're meant to be a subtle reminder of her accomplishments to whoever enters.\ <<if starGame.quests.isQuestTaskActive('campaign_surface', 'find_keycard2') is true and starGame.inventory.hasItem('item_quest_ch1_pass2') is 0>> You look around for Emilia's missing keycard, but unfortunately your search comes up empty. <</if>>\ <</box>>\ <<if starGame.quests.isQuestActive('sq_ch1_emilia') is true and starGame.inventory.hasItem('item_quest_emilia_picture') is 0>>\ <<box "choicebox">>\ <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Search for the picture" "Surface_Emilia_Office_SearchPicture" "btn btn-highlight">><</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\ <</if>>\ </div>\

You pick up the photo, studying it closely. Emilia looks much younger, perhaps in her late teens or early twenties, her mother smiling warmly, her face filled with love and pride. Standing in the middle is a young girl, her hair black and her eyes a deep brown, doing her best to smile as the picture gets taken. <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<simagecard>> <img src="resources/img/events/emilia/family_pic.webp"/> <</simagecard>> <</nobr>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Must be her sister...<</speech>>\ <<box>>You're about to put the photo in your backpack when you notice something written on the back. <i>"My beloved daughter, always remember, no matter what, I will always be there for you.

The thought causes you to reflect on your own family, or the lack thereof. You've never known the warmth and love of a caring parent, the only information you ever had coming from a brief glance at your official records prior to your adoption by the company. As you hold the photo in your hands, you can't help but feel a sense of longing, an ache deep within your soul that can never be fully satisfied. You sigh and place the photo in your backpack, knowing that now is not the time for such musings.

Not far from it is the door leading to Office 2A with a keycard reader and a sign above it indicating it requires a clearance level one security pass. Exploring further, you come across a set of stairs and what seems to be a miniature cafeteria. You're slightly surprised when you see a functional vintage vending machine, stocked with what must be replicas of original products that were sold a century ago.

<<box>>The lobby is just as you left it, the eerie silence pervading the air. You give a glance towards the entryway, and for a moment you feel as if the outside mist has gotten thicker, the once visible vehicle parked outside now nothing more than a faint glow. As you scan the area, noises coming from the receptionist's desk draw your attention. Taking cover behind a pillar, you carefully peek over, trying to get a glimpse of the source. <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<simagecard>> <img src="resources/img/encounters/drone/reception_desk.webp"/> <</simagecard>> <</nobr>>\ <<box>>Much to your surprise, you see a drone sitting in the receptionist's chair, its tentacles rummaging through the drawers and playing with the equipment.

You manage to land several more shots as it collapses to the floor, its body dissipating into a pool of goo. Cautiously approaching the now empty chair, you take a moment to scan the area. Satisfied with your work, you reach for the injector in your backpack and carefully collect a sample from the pool of goo, the liquid filling the syringe's chamber. As you stash the now full syringe back into your backpack, you can't help but wonder what the drone was up to by pretending to be the receptionist. <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Lobby" "btn btn-highlight">> <<script>>starGame.player.setInteraction('lobby');<</script>> <<addmoney 25>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\ <<nobr>> <<saudio "ability_piercing_shot" play volume 0.25>> <<saudio "sfx_death1" play volume 0.50>> <</nobr>>\

<<box>>As you continue to observe the drone, you feel like something is off about the situation, but you can't quite put your finger on it. The creature seems distracted and its behavior could be unpredictable. You decide not to engage and to wait for the creature to leave. After a few minutes, the drone seems to have its fill and exits the receptionist's desk, walking away from the lobby. You can't help but wonder what the drone was up to by pretending to be the receptionist. <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Lobby" "btn btn-highlight">> <<script>>starGame.player.setInteraction('lobby');<</script>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<box>>\ You rummage through the drawers of the receptionist's desk, looking for anything that might shed some light on the situation. After a few moments of fruitless searching, you come across a small notepad and a small key. The notepad contains several entries, each of them written in the same neat handwriting. <i>"October 31st, 2124, 20:37 - A janitor found an old ornate key in the main hall. I'll keep it here until someone comes around to claim it."</i> <i>"November 2nd, 2124, 14:45 - There have been reports of strange noises coming from the east wing of the facility. Maintenance was dispatched to investigate, but they haven't reported back."</i> <i>"November 5th, 2124, 16:01 - One of the scientists is missing. They said she disappeared in the east wing. They're planning to search it tomorrow, but I don't think they'll find anything."</i> <i>"November 6th, 2124, 11:18 - I haven't seen any of the researchers or security staff this morning. It's like everyone has just vanished. I'm starting to get worried."</i> You pocket the key. It might be of use if you come across the lock it is meant for. <</box>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" "Surface_Lobby" "btn btn-highlight">> <<additem "item_quest_key_room2b" 1 true "item_key">> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\

<<box>> You stand idle in front of the terminal, scratching your head as you try to remember if you came across a usable code in the past. This is when you remember all the time you've spent playing Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 4. There was a reward for beating the company's high score, but was deemed as mathematically impossible by the fan community as it would require building up speed for twelve hours to travel to parallel universes. Eventually the game was shunned by the community as they chose to remain on the third iteration of the game. Unfortunately for you, the only variant of the game available at the base's arcade station was the fourth iteration. Through patience, and sheer fucking will, you managed to beat the company score and became the top player of a game no one cared about anymore. This is when the special code you saw upon winning the game flashes back in your memory and you enter it in the terminal with haste before you forget about it. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_gwen_normal" "Gwen" "character_gwen">>For real? That thing has been collecting dust for years!<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I'm more surprised you still have the reward in stock.<</speech>>\ <<box>> The machine whirrs for a moment and a package slides down into the enclosed tray. You pick up the tiny rectangular box and give it a glance. You can easily tell it is a makeup kit, but you're more surprised when you realize it is one of these high end and expensive nanite based make up kits that automatically apply themselves onto the user with the skill of a professional. <</box>>\ <<if starGame.player.getStat('corruptionlevel') >= 2>>\ <<speech "speech_gwen_normal" "Gwen" "character_gwen">>You're going to be sooooo pretty.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Is this thing even still safe?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_gwen_normal" "Gwen" "character_gwen">>I only sell top quality products, honey.

You really are full of surprises my love.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>I... guess?

<<box>> As you're standing idly in front of the terminal, memories of a crazy night of endless fucking with Agent 8 comes back to mind. She liked to claim your relationship was a strictly "colleagues with benefits" one. There wasn't a lack of guys at base though, if anything the girls with their extremely limited number held all the cards. However you knew you were the only one she was intimate with and it was a privilege you cherished. You were supposed to meet again this week as she was due to return from her mission and she texted you a few days ago, asking you to fetch a special package from the local Gwen station and leave it in her room. The code left you puzzled at the time, but maybe there was a cryptic meaning to it and it could be something useful in your current situation. You type in the code, and as soon as you validate it, Gwen chirps up happily once more. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_gwen_normal" "Gwen" "character_gwen">>Oh my. How did you find out about that one?<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>Why does it feel like I just made a huge mistake.<</speech>>\ <<box>> The machine whirrs for a moment and a sizeable package slides down into the enclosed tray. You pick up the heavy package, weighing at least a few kilos for sure.

SB-4763.<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_gwen_normal" "Gwen" "character_gwen">>Coming right up, my dear.<</speech>>\ <<box>> The machine whirrs as the small container slides down into the tray. Picking it up, you notice it's a bit heavier than expected. As you pop the blue lid open, your eyes go wide as you discover a nanite booster. Its design is subtly different and more ornate than traditional boosters. <</box>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>This isn't a standard issue booster.

Do you seriously have no respect for privacy?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>None whatsoever.<</speech>>\ <<box>> She quickly snatches the booster and studies it carefully, turning the small injector in her hand and examining its every angle before she studies the label for a moment. <</box>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Yep. Definitely a new batch. It's labeled as a beta stage product. Based on the composition described here, this thing is supposed to increase your overall stamina by optimizing blood flow to the muscles, as well as increasing the rate at which you absorb oxygen. Basically, you should be able to go a little bit faster and punch harder. There could be a few side effects, such as your dick getting slightly bigger due to the enhanced blood flow, but personally I see that as an absolute win.<</speech>>\ <<speech "player" "Agent 36" "character_36">>How the hell did you figure all that out in less than thirty seconds?<</speech>>\ <<speech "speech_emilia_normal" "Emilia Vasquez" "character_emilia">>Let's just say I know a thing or two about biology, chemistry and pharmacology.<</speech>>\ <<box>> Emilia hands you back the injector and you stow it in your backpack, wondering if using it is a wise decision. <</box>>\ <<else>>\ <</if>>\ <<box "choicebox">> <<nobr>> <<sbutton "Continue" $gameplay_dynamicPassage "btn btn-highlight">> <<additem "item_consumable_booster_stamina" 1 true>> <</sbutton>> <</nobr>>\ <</box>>\
