The GOO is evolving

Eun-Jin called Aliya. This was beyond her. Soon the brown-skinned beauty was starting at the scan results as perplexed as her captain.

"So is that the GOO?" Eun-Jin asked, pointing to the twin pockets of foreign material detected in Ginger's pectoral region.

"Not exactly," Aliya said. "The density is wrong. The silicon-carbon-oxygen polymers in the GOO have very little water associated with them. Inside of Ginger, they're forming microspheres and filing up with some sort of saline derived from her own bodily fluids."

"Huh..." Eun-Jin said. "I don't get it, but what concerns me most is that they keep growing. They're twice as big as when I first got her in the scanner."

"I'm more concerned about this," Aliya said, changing focus and magnification.

While most of the mass was in the two pockets in her breasts, tiny fibers extended out from them and most of them converged on her spinal cord. Some wrapped around her heart in a filigree cage.

"There's no way we could cut them out," Aliya said. "Not until we know what that would do to the fibers."

"Is the connection to her spine what's making her act so weird?" the captain asked.

"No," said Aliya, switching tge read out to biochemical analysis. "The parasite is making all kinds of complex organics and dumping them in her bloodstream. Endorphins, hormones and growth factors. She must be feeling great. But horny as fuck."

"I heard that!" Ginger said fro m inside the tube. "Can I PLEASE go to my room, Cap'n? Or should I just jill off here in the scanner?"

Eun-Jin sighed. She couldn't rightly keep a crewman in the bioscanner all the way back to Earth. She told the medbot to release her.

"Whoa!" Aliya exclaimed.

Eun-Jin kept herself from commenting, but not from staring. The scanner had told her that Ginger's body had continued to change while inside, but it didn't prepare her for seeing the lucious hourglass her figure had become.

"Whoa is right!" Ginger agreed, grabbing hold of her breasts. "My tits got huge! And they feel amazing!"

The space miner began kneading and fondling herself, giggling in delight.

"Ladies, you gotta check these puppies out!" she said, presenting her growing tits to her captain and crewmate.

"You...you really aren't worried about what's happening to you, Ginger?" Eun-Jin asked.

"There's nothing wrong with having big titties, Captain," she said, then glanced at Eun-Jin's chest. "No offense."

Eun-Jin blushed. Her flat chest and narrow hips had been a point of embarrassment. Without the benefits of hair and makeup in deep space, she'd neen mistaken for a boy on several occasions.

"Do we think it's safe to let her go to her quarters, Aliya?" Eun-Jin asked. "I don't know that we can learn much more from scans at this point. And she's definitely not in any pain."

"Just horny as fuck!" Ginger said. "And hungry!"

She went over to the nutripak dispensary and pulled out several more.

"Yeah," said Aliya, looking at Ginger's increasingly heart-shaped ass. "I think we'll learn more in the mineral lab on the GOO I've got in there. I can do analysis on that without risking physical harm to Ginger."

Eun-Jin did her best to suppress a twinge of jealousy. Did Aliya like curvy girls?

She shook it off.

"OK, Ginger," the captain said. "You're dismissed. Just keep to your quarters and call me if anything dramatic happens."

"Oh, I'll be dramatically fucking myself silly, Cap'n," Ginger said. "Does that count?"

Eun-Jin closed her eyes and shook her head.

"No Ginger," she said. "Just report back here at 0700 and we'll do another scan.

The redhead, her hair now long enough to curl a bit, gave a mocking salute that made her parasite-filled jugs bounce about frenetically, then scurried out of the room, sucking down a nutripak as she went.

*Do you really think it's ok that we're leaving her alone?" Eun-Jin asked.

"Her quarters sensors will detect any dangerous change in vitals," Aliya said. "What's the worst that could happen?"
