The lead researcher

As the woman turns to see who entered, you too are finally able to turn your head. Your heart jumps in your chest as the woman who first approached you walks in. Ellie is crammed into tight slacks that accentuate her toned legs and ass and a tight vest reveals stunning milky cleavage. Her white coat swishes behind her as the door hisses closed.

"Dr. North! Excellent timing," the silhouetted woman remarks.

"Indeed," She replies. "Now, as I understand it, Anna, you were quite rude to your host. We here at Helios believe that guests should always be treated with respect, and it should go without saying that you would return that respect. Now, while this isn't normal protocol, we will not punish you. We will show you your error!" Ellie's ice blue eyes are piercing as she nods to the other woman.

With a click, the bright light above you is turned off, and with its absence, your eyes take a moment to adjust.

When they do, you wish they hadn't. The first woman was Brooke! However, something seems off with her.

"Brooke?" you ask weakly.

When she looks at you, your blood runs cold; Brooke's eyes are black pools, shining like obsidian in the lab's lights. She tilts her head, struggling with a memory that won't quite surface.

"Brooke isn't exactly her old self anymore," Ellie taunts, moving behind your head. "You see, she is in a transition faze. We performed an experiment on her, and we are now awaiting the final results. This experiment removed her consciousness and allowed us to program her for our own needs. The new consciousness will, in theory, become her subconscious, and her old conscious mind will again take control. Well, her old loyalties will be thoroughly reassigned."

"You sick BITCH!" You scream, struggling with your restraints.

"Come now, there is no need for this." Ellie says, tightening your bonds and restricting your movement even further. "We will not perform the same experiment on you. No, you have the honor of being chosen as one of Dr. Collins's test subjects for the Xcine. There is no way out of this, Anna. Brooke!"

At Ellie's command, Brooke goes stiff. She then reaches into her coat and retrieves a vial identical to the one that crazy CEO attempted to **** on you. It seems you really do have **** as Brooke removes the stopper.

"Just relax and let it happen..." Ellie taunts, forcing your mouth open. And with that, Brooke pours the blue liquid down your throat. You sputter and cough, but eventually you are **** to swallow the surprisingly sweet solution.

"And now we watch the magic!" Ellie says, glee in her eyes.
