Symbiote Ugrade

As she scrolled through the list, her eyes landed on an entry labeled "Symbiote Upgrade". The description was cryptic, reading only " Bonds with host, granting enhanced strength and agility. Warning: May alter host's personality and behavior." Samus's curiosity was piqued, and she asked the AI for more information. The robotic voice responded, "The Symbiote Upgrade is a unique chip that contains a sentient, alien organism. This organism, known as a symbiote, will bond with your body and grant you enhanced physical abilities. However, it is known to have a will of its own and may influence your thoughts and actions."

As soon as the button was clicked, the robotic arm jabbed into the back of Samus' neck once more, and a small, sleek chip was inserted into the USB-like port. The AI's voice chimed in, "Symbiote Upgrade initiated. Please stand by for bonding process." Samus felt a slight tingling sensation as the chip began to interface with her Zero Suit's systems. The screen in front of her flickered, displaying a progress bar that rapidly filled up. Suddenly, the lights in the room dimmed, and a low, pulsing hum filled the air.

The hum grew louder, and Samus felt a strange, creeping sensation spreading throughout her body.

The symbiote begun to engulf her body, its dark, inky tendrils spreading like a stain across her skin. Samus felt a shiver run down her spine as the organism wrapped itself around her, its presence both exhilarating and terrifying. The Zero Suit, sensing the symbiote's influence, hummed in response, its systems adapting to the new entity.

As the symbiote continued to bond with her, Samus's vision began to blur, colors bleeding into one another like watercolors on wet paper. She felt her senses expanding, her perception of the world shifting to accommodate the symbiote's alien perspective.

As the symbiote engulfed her head, the physical changes started. Samus's eyes, once a piercing brown, began to shift and ripple like the surface of a pond, their color deepening to an inky black. Her pupils constricted, then expanded, as if adjusting to a new spectrum of light. The skin around her eyes, once smooth and unblemished, began to take on a slightly scaly texture, as if the symbiote's influence was altering her very biology.

Her face, once a picture of determination and focus, began to contort and twist, as if the symbiote was testing the limits of her facial muscles.

As the symbiote finished changing her body into that of a Symbiote host, Samus's vision snapped back into focus, her eyes adjusting to the new sensory inputs flooding her brain. The first thing she noticed was the intense, almost overwhelming sense of strength and agility that now coursed through her veins. Her muscles felt like they were humming with power, her reflexes heightened to the point where she could feel the individual threads of her Zero Suit's fabric vibrating with tension.

The AI's voice chimed in, its tone detached and clinical, "Symbiote Upgrade successfully integrated. Host systems online. Warning: Symbiote influence may cause unpredictable behavior. Please monitor your thoughts and actions."

As she gazed into the mirror, the reflection staring back at her was no longer the familiar visage of Samus Aran. The Symbiote Upgrade had transformed her into a being that was both fascinating and terrifying. Her body was now a sleek, black exosuit, adorned with a massive, white spider-like symbol on her chest. The symbol seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy, as if it were alive and feeding off her very life ****. Her eyes, once a piercing brown, had transformed into two pure white oval orbs that seemed to bore into her very soul and she had a massive maw with razor sharp fangs and a long tongue.

As she flexed her new clawed hands, the symbiote's influence coursed through her mind, flooding her with dark, primal ideas. The AI's warning about unpredictable behavior seemed almost laughable now, as Samus felt her thoughts growing sharper, more cunning. Venom, the symbiote, was working with her, its presence a constant, thrumming hum in the back of her mind. Together, they explored the possibilities of her new form, the Zero Suit's systems adapting to the symbiote's power.

Her gaze fell upon the mirror, and she watched, fascinated, as her reflection's eyes seemed to gleam with an otherworldly intelligence.
