So Ready

You think it should feel wrong, but you want, no, you need to help Illiana.

“Yes!”

“I new you’d understand Tawny. Now we need to figure out precisely what should be changed. I think they should be obedient to us.”

“Yes, that’s perfect! We should do away with the Y chromosome.”

“Absolutely. And, they should be super strong.”

“With the ability to survive space.”

“Agreed. And of course it should be contagious.”

God you’re wet. It’s like Illiana said the magic word. You understand her needs perfectly. For the first time you question why she was even locked away here.

She begins to massage the weapon. Soon a clear ooze drops to the floor.

“Is that it?”

“Yes, Tawny. Would you like to be patient zero, the plague mother?”

You nod.

“Go ahead, touch it.”

You touch the ooze. It reacts by flowing over your skin. In less than a second your whole arm is covered. Illiana looks on with intense interest. The ooze soon covers your whole body. It tingles, but not unpleasantly. It makes it’s way up your neck, coating even your hair. It feels like a plastic exoskeleton.

Strange thoughts bombard your mind. You need to obey Illiana and you need to spread. You want to spread. You want to see every human infected, every human become superior like you.

“How do you feel, Tawny.”

It is a tough question. You’ve never felt this good. Heck, you’ve never felt anything like this.

“Perfect. I’m perfect.”

“Time to share with the others?”

You nod authoritatively.
