To no one's surprise: A nasty surprise.

Leaving Natalya behind, Lynn and the purple giantess crept into the basement, the hot and humid air making droplets of water appear on their skin. At least down here, there were no vents running behind the walls, only to the middle of each room. Which meant that the latex sisterhood hiding here couldn't stalk them as easily as above, fortunately. But where were they hiding? It wasn't like the strange latex covering every inch of the basement gave any hints - there was no dust or debris in which there would be tracks to be found, and the black color made the actual features hard to discern. Not that the twisting, flowing surface didn't do a well enough job on its own. At least everything was shiny enough to reflect enough light down what had been the stairs.

"Might as well pick a route at random..." But then again, seven of the strange, alien beings? They would most likely be in the largest storage room. As good a point to start as any.

Motioning for Darcy and Allie to follow, Lynn began moving deeper into the basement, the horse-cock that had been her partner bobbing before her with every step. Thankfully, for all the changes the new denizens of the precinct had wrought, they had been unable to change the layout, and Lynn knew where to go.

It was eerily quiet, even though they could now hear the sounds of the machinery themselves. It sounded muffled and strained, hidden under the shiny latex layer the alien things had spread all throughout the basement - but there seemed to be no other sounds. No low squeaking of stalkers crawling in the dark, no threatening hiss warning them to leave, nothing. Of course, it was possible that the... hive? Whatever you would call the group of latex monsters, it was most likely asleep. They were closely related to the frat dolls, after all, who all still needed sleep, and their black cousins had apparently been active deep into the night. At least, Lynn hoped that was the case. The possibility they were walking right into a trap and the hive just lay in waiting, motionless until they were in deep enough...

They were very close to the main storage room now. The air was so humid here there seemed to be a fine layer of mist on the ground, obscuring the softly swirling latex forming the bottom of the hallway, and Lynn motioned for Darcy and Allie to slow down, take care to be even more silent than they already were. If Lynn was right, they were right around the corner to the lion's den. Latex cop and purple giantess turned around the bend and...

Nothing. It was almost completely dark now, just enough light to see the even deeper blackness of the irregularly shaped hole that used to be a normal doorway - only it seemed larger than Lynn remembered the door to be. Apparently, the latex things had widened it to... well, for what, exactly? They were barely larger than a human. More voluptuous, sure, but--

There was no warning. Lynn's thoughts were interrupted by a crashing slap, and the world jerked sideways suddenly. She felt herself be slammed into the rubbery, bouncy wall of the tunnel with a **** that would have broken bones if Lynn had still had any. Something powerful pressed against her throat, pinning her to the wall with her feet hanging off the ground, and when the bright spots before her eyes began to clear, Lynn's stomach dropped deeper than she'd ever thought possible.

The dark shape pinning the furiously struggling Darcy and Allie to the floor was undeniably related to what Mellows had become. There was the elongated, blank dome of a head, four strange pipes growing from the back, a long, hooked tail - which in fach was pinning Lynn to the wall - and of course the massive breasts and wide hips. But it was easily as large as Darcy and Allie, its powerful muscles rippling as it held the giantess pinned to the floor, full lips pulled back into a snarl that revealed glistening, metallic teeth. It was hard to see in the near-darkness, but there also seemed to be rib-like structures on the thing's head, hips and shoulders.

"RrrraaAAARH!" The primal, twin scream Darcy and Allie let loose as they struggled with all their might only led to the giant alien smacking their heads into the floor with enough **** to visibly deform them before they bounced back off the ground.

"Silence!"

"Wha..." Lynn began to have the first inkling how badly she had miscalculated. From the very beginning of her plan to 'revolutionize' the city's corrupt police ****.

"Welcome, intruderssss..." The massive alien's hiss was rumbling and surprisingly deep due to its size, yet alluringly feminine as he eyeless face turned to Lynn. "The Queen cordially invites you into her abode."
