R&D in Sector 469

ELEECE found herself in a rare state. Management has got to be kidding me. Pink light flashed as she teleported herself to the main deck of the Labrys. Instead, being alone upon arrival there was a confused blonde woman.

"Hello Candy, I am so sorry that you have been inconvenienced by this unexpected transfer between seasons. My name is ELEECE, the host of the season you are currently in. Once the rest of the cast arrives we can discuss more about what to do, but if you need any accommodations do not hesitate to ask." The host gave a bow then teleported away leaving a doppelgänger of herself as a companion.

"So where am I?"

"The spaceship Labrys, currently not docked in any planet." Candy's eyes lit up at the mention of spaceship. Seeing an opening, the distraught host took the chance to show the displaced guest around while her primary body planned today's activities and an excuse for the captain. The doppelgänger lead the teacher around the ship answering whatever question she came up with.

Katie woke up in a haze with only her other bodies for company. She checked her bathroom and didn't see anyone else. Worried she rushed her down to the cafe. Everyone else had arrived aside from Pandi. A blonde stranger was gushing of Labrys Seraph.

"Where's Pandi and who's that?"

"I can address that." ELEECE appeared naked as always but with a distinct lake of confidence. "Management misplaced some papers and swapped Pandi with Candy here." All seven Katies turned to face the host in a semicircle, glaring at the host. "Katie I'm as pissed as you are here. I can assure you though if she's here," one of the host's doppelgängers appeared to point at Candy. "She is in one of the safest places she could be."

"And that is?" the bodies spoke in unison.

"Another season of the show."

Katie sighed as she moved over to Candy, Noel was also there asking questions and writing in a notepad. "Hi I'm Katie," she said trying to keep the worry out of her voice.

"Hello Candy" she replied, "So this spaceship is yours?"

"Allegedly."

"That's awesome. How far are you along you have some pretty drastic transformations?"

"We just started but drastic is putting it mildly" the captain gave a small chuckle. "Everyone's transformations affect one seventh of the population. So we don't have to worry about hiding anything at least."

The pixie's eyes widen as the implications dawn on her. Noel rapidly cut in on the silence. "Can I ask you one more question?" Katie gave a side glance at the reporter. Noel returned with a gentle hip-check.

"Sure what else do you want to ask?"

"Well I only have one last question: How have you enjoying you season of Harem Hotel?"

Candy eyes misted up for a moment as she when silent. A soft smile creep across her face. "Its given me an opportunity to connect to the ones I love in a way I never would have imagined." With that last statement Noel shook head as she finished taking notes.

"So want to see the ship?" Noel asked.

"Absolutely!"

After a couple of hours spent milling around the ship, ELEECE appeared hair ruffled. "Ok I have an activity for the day. We are going to visit my research lab." The host snapped her fingers and the Labrys roared to life moving own until it reached a planet with pink clouds.

ELEECE ushered the crew and Candy off the Labrys. The vista greeting was that of an amusement park. Mechanical whirring, and screams of delight could be heard from the docking station.

"Welcome to the Ludo Station." the host said without the theatrical flourish she normally exuded. "This is where I test out different parts of the show before you all get to experience them."

"I'm honestly shocked you do testing." Noel replied taking notes.

"Oh its very necessary part of production. Just because I can material the physics and the material reality of whatever I want for the show, it does not mean that it is interesting. It took months before I got the Conferi mechanics to provoke the results I wanted in people. I want people to be able surprise me by making further advances with the gifts I give them"

They continued walking to a gate off to the side of the main entrance. A baseline person was sitting in a security booth, upon seeing ELEECE they immediately stood up and saluted. "Morning Boss, hey why are they here?" They pointed at the crew.

"Morning Arnie, management fucked up some paperwork so I'm improvising." The host lowered her voice so the others couldn't hear, "Plus I going to wipe this from the contestants memory for a little bit. I'll let them remember when it would be a more natural time for them to come here."

Concerns appeased Arnie let the group through the gate, once through the atmosphere changed. Instead of the bright colors of the park a much more clinical environment greeted them. Scores of ELEECE doppelgängers are visible with other employees through the clear glass separating the rooms lining the hall. Candy was flying around trying to get a better look at the experiments when an incandescent pink flash occurred in front of them. Rushing over to the lab the flash occurred revealed an ELEECE kicking her feet in frustration at the state of her assistants.

"Damn they lost coherence again." The doppelgänger was taking notes on the state of her assistants, a goblin woman and a petfolk man. The goblin woman's eyes were glazed over in pleasure, the way her body was shaking at least gave the impression that she was coming down from climax. Her torso had the remnants of clothes scatter about them. Her hands and feet had been replaced with replica torsos connected to the main body. Each of the four extra torsos were busy furiously masturbating. The man had just as unusual change, his cock had grown to six meters turned blue and was spraying a powder of a similar color that was quickly coating everything in the lab.

"What are you doing in there?!" Candy asked.

"Plant transformations, obvious the reaction is too strong so we need to adjust things." Candy turned head and was making her way towards the nudist host unamused by the casualness in the response. "Oh don't give that look. Everyone here is paid 5000 credits an hour as a base. Which is about 15k in 2025 USD, and these halls," ELEECE waves her hand to around "are explicitly volunteer only." She continued moving forward pass the pixie who hadn't been completely placated.

Exiting the lab hallway lead to a multilevel plaza filled with people and ELEECE doppelgängers moving things around. A table had been prepared for them with three different models on the table. "So I have three options here for games to test today. Unfortunately, Ponygirl Chariot racing has run into some obvious problems that we are working out." The first model kit lit up revealing a racetrack through a candy colored landscape, the words Orgasm Kart emblazoned on the track. "First up we have Orgasm Kart, a take on the noble cart racer." The second model then lit up. In contrast to the naturalistic racetrack this display portrayed a dense series of passages. A figure was working at panel doing some unintelligible maintenance work. Behind the working figure there was a blonde woman with an exaggerated hourglass figure reaching out to the worker. "Next we have B.I.M.B.O. our take on a werewolf style game." The final display lit up, unveiling a large mountain dominating the display. Miniature persons could be seen attempting to climb up as pink mist flows into the regions. "Finally we have Climax, reach the peak before the mists consume you. So which one do you all want to try?"

"Can we just like relax today?" Odie asked without any expectations of success.

"Nope,"

"Well then not the second one. That's something I already have to deal with normally." Katie tried not to make eye contact with Odie.

"Kart racing sounds fun," Candy answered.

"Sure why not go with what the guest suggests." Katie replied happy for the diversion. The rest of went along with it.

"Perfect let me set things up." ELEECE snapped as pink flash envelope the group.

When the flash receded everyone found themselves in a garage, fourteen go karts laid out in position to drive out once occupied. The contestants save for one of Carla's bodies, clothing had changed to leather racewear more appropriate for racing. The lone Carla instead was dressed in track fashion, a checkerboard minidress and thigh high boots.

"So now that we have an even number, here are the rules. This will be a standard 3 lap race around the course. There are boxes throughout the upon collision with a driver will give an item to benefit yourself or to attack the competition. For the sake of convenience you will be broken up into seven teams of two, each of you assisted by one of Katie's bodies. The captain on the other hand will be assisted by one of Carlas in racing gear."

Everyone approached the karts emblazoned with the number matching what is on their clothes. A Katie bearing the number 6 reached her kart and started the engine. The engine ignited with a pale glow and constant rumble, instantly Katie's erogenous zones all vibrated in time with the engine. Katie let out a yelp in response.

"Thank you for the demo Captain." The host said in-between laughter. "As Katie was so generous to demonstrate, once you get into the kart it will be tied to you for the duration of the race. The faster you go the more it will pleasure you."

After a series of false starts the crew managed to drive themselves to the starting line, the drivers lined up in the start positions. Carla and an ELEECE doppelgänger stood in front of the holding a card displaying the team numbers

With the wave of green flags from the host and Carla, the drivers speed off.

Odie took an early lead coasting off a starting line boost, trying her best to rubbing sensations on her nipples, as she came up on the first turn of the course. Acting quickly the PhD braked into the turn doing her best to converse her momentum into the next leg of the race. Unfortunately for her the early drift caused her to miss one the pink item crates on the road. Odie still retained her lead. The rest of the drivers were hot on her trail, with Candy being the one leading the pack. Taking advantage of Odie's mishap Candy was able to get an item crate. The box melted into an airy aromatic foam as vanished from the course. A carousel of items spun in the corners of the pixie's eyes, until it settled on an orange shell. New tool in hand Candy quickly pressed a down arrow button on the kart's steering wheel. Behind her kart an orange shell materialized and fired into the racers. Mickey swerved to the left and was able to dodge. Miri unable to see the shell charged forward directly into the shell. The writer's kart was thrown into the air while an orgasm wracked her core.

With two racers sidelined for the moment, Candy continued her pursuit of the first place. The open straightway gave a look at the larger track. The place had the look of a paint in the early stages, large splashes of color and scenery that are arranged with not discernible order next to beams of Candy could only guess was steel. The pixie had finally managed to catch up with the race leader and proceeded in an attempt at the lead. Turning her kart to the right Candy slams into Odie. Shaken but undeterred the toon woman returns the bump with one of her own. Eyes dancing between each other and the road ahead as the two leaders enter the second lap.

Back in the pack the hunt was equally as fierce. Katie 5 had successfully found a pink mushroom in an item crate and was taking advantage of it. The effects were two-fold, first was the immediate speed boost for the cart. Second was a tightness in her chest as her boobs grew what she guessed was a cub size given that she had no way to verify for herself. The speed boost itself did its job allowing Katie 5 to maneuver around Noel and Miri into third place.

The second lap began much like the first. The pack had managed to close the distance and **** a war for the position. Odie and Candy were trading first place every second as the two remain within inches of each other. Katie 5 maintained a hold on third but it was shacked as a red shell swiped into her from a blind-spot. Kart hoping in the air and pleasure surging through her Katie 5 lost her position as she feel to the back. Seizing the opportunity Miri happily took the spot left by the captain.

As the race entered the middle of the second lap, Mickey contemplated her options. She had been towards the back the entire race since the start and honest wasn't too invested in the race itself. She was starring at the item she had picked up on the most recent item box: a white baton. She couldn't think of any immediate items to compare it to in a video game. She shook her head, at the back of the back it wasn't like she had much to lose from experimenting. She pressed the button. A white flash emanated from her kart. Once the flash receded Mickey found all the racers she could see transformed into white statues. Mickey could only guess that it was some kind of rubber or latex from how the light was reflecting off of them. Curiously all of their karts were still running apletet at a slower speed. Mickey herself didn't take the chance to advance other that to get a closer look at the others in their encased state.

In a few moments the white material started to peal form the others like a snake shedding its skin. A faint glow radiated from all their skins. Unfortunately for Mickey the others had much more competitive spirits than inquisitive one. Once everyone regained control they returned to their previous pace, only this time the goblin found herself surrounded by the back as they all entered the final lap.

Due to Mickey's interventions, Candy had managed to overtake Odie. A grimace spread across the toon woman's face. The distance between the first and second place racers wasn't insurmountable but Odie didn't want to take the take back the lead too early. It came down tot the final straightway both leaders pushed their machines to their fullest, when a looming shadow appeared over their heads. A pink shell was thrown from the back of the race from a Carla with no chance to win. Candy backed off the accelerator hoping to dodge the blast while Odie just gunned it hoping to make it across the line before the shell hit.

Unfortunately for Odie patience paid off this time. A pink explosion occurred the instant the shell hit her sending pleasure through all her veins. The PhD candidate whited out for what seemed like an eternity. Thankfully it was just a few moments, Odie had plenty of time to cross the finish line as second place.

"Thank you all for your assistance." ELEECE responded once had finished gotten finished and returned to more normal clothing. "Feel free to relax here and say goodbye to Candy. I got to check with management."

The host prepared what could be compared to a greenroom filled with snacks and refreshments. After a few hours the Labrys' crew gave their farewells expecting Candy to just vanish but then she still was there with no Pandi in sight.

ELEECE looked annoyed, "This will be solved. See you all tomorrow." The host snapped her fingers and the filled the room with her favorite light.
