Alien Control 101

Carrie and Cassie sat Emily down on the couch, having instructed Kit to pull Jason fully into the control chamber in Emily's chest to restore Emily's control back to herself, at least temporarily. Emily breathed deeply, looking down at herself, in particular the incredible new shape to her body underneath the formerly oversized shirt she wore. Clearly, she was thrilled by her body shape now, placing her hands on her chest. Jason could feel the hands squeezing him, providing what felt like a pleasant massage from inside the chest. He found it surprisingly comforting and pleasant within his perch within Emily's body, though he felt strange in this nanite cocoon that Kit held him in.

"Okay, let's go through a few steps and details now that we've got things in a good starting place," Carrie said, and Jason could hear her. "Emily, go ahead and get changed into something with a bit of cleavage if you could, and Kit, generate the viewport tattoos."

A few moments later, Jason could see again! Sort of. His vision was obscured by fabric, but he could feel the body on the move, bouncing and jiggling as Emily stepped into her room. Once the fabric was removed, Jason still couldn't see much, able to mostly look outward at what looked like Emily's messy bedroom, or up to see Emily's face from his lower vantage point. He saw Emily pick up a bikini top, one of the few things that she owned that could match the criteria Carrie had given her, feeling himself be lifted slightly by the tightening top. Emily returned to Carrie and Cassie, who waved at the little viewport on the chest at Jason.

While Cassie fiddled with her phone, Carrie sat next to Emily, looking down at her chest. "You know my eyes are up here," Emily said, jokingly.

"Well, there's an extra pair now too!" Carrie tapped at Emily's chest. "That's one of the newer techniques Kit inherited from Beta. It's so your new little alien can observe without needing to be in control. Aleph is often relaxing or working with the nanites internally on computations and things, though I doubt Jason will be doing much of that. It's a good starting point for me to explain all the different ways Jason can influence and control you."

Emily blushed at hearing that, but she nodded. "I'm actually kind of excited about all that!" Jason didn't have the ability to say much with Kit keeping him contained solely in the chest, but he was internally a bit excited too, having a lovely woman's body that would eventually be under his control. But he knew he had to be patient to know really how to do this.

"So, let's start with the basics." Carrie removed her own jacket, showing off the viewport tattoos that her own body had. "When the human sides are in full control, the alien sides can observe, if they want. The viewports can be hidden to make the body look seamless. It's going to be pretty obvious to anyone that knows us from before aliens happened that the body's got a bit of a new shape now, so expect people to definitely be looking. That's all controlled by the nanites, which are in turn controlled by Jason, so all Jason has to do is think for what mode he wants and the nanites will make it happen."

With a nod, Emily leaned back in the seat. "Right, but what about all the control stuff? That's what I think we all want to know about!"

Cassie grinned as she saw Emily so interested in giving up control of her body. "Kind of funny to see you so interested in losing control, given how much control you used to exert over me when Juno would obey you. Kit, why don't you set up influence mode?"

Jason could feel something shifting in the body, almost sensing a stronger connection with Emily's body, although he still looked out of his chest-high viewport. Emily just tilted her head. "I don't remember that one. What is it?"

"It's an indirect control mechanism. Jason can think about what he wants you to do, and your body will feel an urge to do it that will grow stronger until you do it. It's harder to do without the viewport, but it's really helpful when the alien bodies need something to be done that you're capable of that maybe the alien isn't."

"Huh, that's weird. So I'll just do it? Like, will I want to do it, or will it just happen and I won't even realize?"

Cassie grinned, looking at Emily. "You tell me, Em. Feeling a bit breezy in here?"

Emily looked down, seeing that her hands were holding the bikini top--Jason had influenced her to untie it and removed it, and she hadn't even realized it! Her face reddening, she wrapped her hands around her chest, until she felt the strong urge to pull her hands away, her face reddening further. She was red from excitement as much as embarrassment, though, realizing that Jason was really in control of her now! Emily just accepted that she was going to sit topless in front of her other friends, letting her arms relax to the side.

"Next up, direct control variants." Carrie closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes glowed a bright green. "This is me, Aleph, using direct control over Carrie's body. There's four major levels of direct control. I can use raw control with no nanite intervention over Carrie's body, but as I'm not human, my raw control would seem rather crude and strange--this likely isn't a problem for Jason, given his human origins, but it's the way that we aliens can feel the full sensory range of the body, totally unfiltered, which... it's exciting, I'll leave it at that. This linked variant, with the glowing eyes, is the next level of sensory contact, where I'm mostly in control and Beta provides just basic translations to let me behave more human, which took a lot of practice for me, but it works pretty well now that I've learned a lot and it lets me and Aleph swap control seamlessly. Next is a fifty-fifty share between alien and nanite, that's typically the most human-behaving variant and looks the most normal, but it definitely feels like controlling a suit rather than moving a body, though Kit will no doubt translate Jason into a good feminine variant of his usual behaviors. And then, of course, Kit can just take primary control, albeit causing Emily to behave a little more robotic."

Emily nodded, looking down at the viewport tattoo in her chest and smiling. "Sounds like there's a lot to try, huh?"

"One other thing to note." Cassie held out a hand, as it transformed from a human shape to the arm cannon that she'd used to chase down Xeno. "The nanites can reconfigure the body to add various machinery, and Jason will figure out how to modify the body biologically eventually. The glowy-eyes mode will be the easiest way for the nanites to augment the body with tech while the alien side is in control, but any of the modes of control can feature nanite alterations. You could become a computer, a microwave, a quadcopter, honestly there are so many changes it's not worth listing them all. It's going to require a lot of practice for Jason and Kit to really know what they can do."

"Sounds great," Emily said. "What do you think, Jason? Seems like the choice is really up to you, how you want to move me. I wouldn't mind if you just want to relax inside me and let me do my own thing for a while, I know this is probably awkward. But I really liked the potential of the influence stuff, and all those different kinds of direct control all sound interesting, and you can use one of those methods to start acclimating to me. I'll be happy to go along with whatever you like."

Jason pondered what to do, trying to decide which sort of control over Emily would be best to start with for practice. He had to practice three things: being an alien that can pilot a biosuit, being a woman, and being Emily in particular. It seemed like different modes might provide ways to get those experiences he needed, he just needed to figure out which would be the best starting point.
