A mission gone wrong in Atlas…

All things considered, Neo’s mission was rather simple, at least by her standards these days. As much as she loathed working for Cinder Fall, (despite her insistence that it was a partnership), Neo had to respect the other woman’s skills when it came to planning heists.

This particular mission was simple enough, but an important step in their plan to take down Atlas, not to mention get **** on Ruby Rose while they were at it… Break into a highly secure Atlas Military Facility, plant a server-wide bug in some important experimental technology that hadn’t been properly encrypted yet, gain the ability to view and spy on basically every camera in the city, simple, right?

Getting in had been simple enough, using her semblance to cost herself in an illusion, blending into the cargo of a transport vehichle, child’s play by Neopolitan’s standards, Roman would of laughed at how simple the security measures were in what was meant to be one of the military’s most secure facilities. Wincing, and quickly quelling that thought, the criminal henchwoman focused on the task at hand, getting into the main building of the facility itself…

Once again, her semblance came into play, with Overactive Imagination, she cast an illusion of a high-ranking Atlas official, the white coat, unnecessary amount of badges and medals, the whole shebang. Regrettably, she was still on the shorter side, even with her illusion, which could only do so much. Neo would just have to hope nobody noticed the outlying ‘officer’ was shorter than most Atlas personnel…

Sauntering through the Facility smugly, she rolled her eyes at the sheer easiness of her task, every busy recruit that she passed saluted the mute girl as she walked by, not even bothering to look further into what exactly she was doing, walking into the most secure section of the Facility, an experimental lab, although thankfully an empty one. It was later in the day, after all, no-doubt most, if not all of the scientists working there had clocked out for the night…

Thankfully, finding the device she was looking for wasn’t too difficult, the strange computer was locked away in it’s own lab-room, warning and hazard signs dotted around the entrance… Ignoring them, Neo looked around, trying to find out how to get inside. It hadn’t been hard to ambush a random security guard and steal their badge and credentials, allowing access to most of the Facility. But this room required an Atlas scientist specifically to enter, which wasn’t exactly easy with them gone for the night.

Just when she was starting to grow concerned, Neo smirked, spotting a ventilation duct in a corner, one that would lead right inside. It took a few seconds to clamber onto the closest desk, hopping up and grabbing the vent grate, popping it off carelessly, and wriggling her way inside.

For most, the vent would be entirely too tight and tiny to squeeze through, although thankfully Neo had no such problems… Mostly, anyway. Embarrassingly, it took a few seconds of squeezing and wriggling to fit her rather shapely behind through the vent, which was caught for a little longer than she’d care to admit. The pint-sized thief could only be grateful that nobody was around to witness that rather embarrassing display…

Still, her target was before her, and Neo eyed the large, complex-looking computer with disinterest, admittedly she wasn’t _fully _sure what it did, something about a 3D Printer? Able to remove and place molecules at will, but that was Cinder’s problem, not hers. Supposedly it would be their backdoor into the Atlas systems, but for now, she only had one job to do, after that the heterochromatic illusionist would simply have to sneak her way out the way she came… The machine hummed and whirred, random sparks and flashes coming from it, causing Neo to roll her eyes, for the most advanced nation on Remnant there tech was always remarkably shoddy and sloppy…

Pulling out the drive Cinder had supplied her, Neo simply slotted it into place, a haphazard action she quickly came to regret however, right as she inserted the drive, a particularly large spark jutted from the machine, striking Neo directly and causing the mute to wheeze as she was thrown back with a surprising amount of ****, grunting as she was slammed into the wall of the room hard enough to test the limits of her aura…

Letting out a hiss, Neo hugged her chest, directly where she had been zapped… What the hell had happened there?! She sighed, catching her breath for a few moments… The zap had drained most of her aura, if not all of it. Which would certainly make escaping more difficult… She sighed, only to shiver after a moment, feeling remarkably cold… Come to think of it, why was she surrounded by shredded fabric?!

The mute woman’s pink and brown eyes flickered white with shock, widening as she looked down, realising what had happened… H-Had that machine shredded her clothes off?! Getting a better look at herself, that certainly seemed to be the case, causing Neo to blush wildly, her rather meagre chest, as tiny as Neo’s height, was on full display, right along with her bare crotch, not having a single hair covering it, not to mention her large, rather bubbly behind…

Okay… This was admittedly a pretty major setback, and was going to make escaping quite a lot harder. Not to mention embarrassing. She would have to sneak back to their hideout without Cinder noticing, she was _not _explaining her current situation to the smug, domineering Fall Maiden, she shuddered and even blushed at the thought…

Still, she wasn’t out of options, that zap had shattered her last illusion, but Neo still had aura to spare, Overactive Imagination would be able to simulate the effect of wearing a full outfit, right? With a sigh, the mute focused… And found no result, pink shards began to envelop her for a moment, but just as soon faded away… Closing her eyes, Neo focused harder… Only to find similarly useless results. What the hell was happening?! Had that machine done something to her?!

Neo hopped to her feet, blushing as her bare buttcheeks wobbled a little from the ****, she quickly hurried to the machine, trying to read the various screens, labels and buttons, trying to figure out what the hell it did…
