An invitation

Illiana gives you a lustful look. "Mira, dear, how would you like to help me become Empress of the universe?"

You are stunned. A few moments ago you would simply said no. Of course a few moments ago you were in 'love' with Markus. Now you can actually visualize the three dimensional structure of the neurotransmitters that cause 'love'. You feel your head knowing it has grown and looks something like Illiana's. Simple facts float through your head. You are no longer completely human. Aside from the fact you are no longer sexually attracted to Markus, you have about as much in common with him as he does with a laboratory rat. Illiana on the other hand is as spectacular a lover as she is brilliant. Ultimately you have only one choice.

"I'd be happy to help Illiana. What do you have in mind?"

The look on her face shows your answer is of no surprise to her. "Simple, the prisoners here are the true wolves. Those living in the confederacy are mere sheep. We need to change our fellow prisoners, make them like us. Then we can create viruses to transform the sheep into **** races, whose only desire is to serve me."

Here plan is simple and elegant. Not long ago you would have been horrified. Now you lick your lips at the prospect of helping Illiana rule the universe. "We'll need equipment, a DNA sequencing lab."

Illiana smiles and strokes the orb. "Easily done."

In the far portion of her cell lab equipment materializes. There are many pieces of equipment you have never seen before, yet you know how to use all of it.

From a nearby cell you hear, "What, what's happening over there?"
